2:00 am

grannyrose

spritey...my dear...how are you?

2:00 am

rbud

after sussing out the lone e, thought the z might be tricky too

2:00 am

sprite

*giggles* Yeah, Zs do that to me too

2:01 am

sprite

*hugs rose*
Am good, dear friend. Bit of trouble with the teens here, but that is to be expected. And how are you?

2:02 am

sprite

ah yes... that E is German. I was surprised it took.

2:03 am

grannyrose

trying to 'weather' out this hot spell....knee all good...trying to get past the fibromyalgia in shin. *sigh*

2:05 am

sprite

wtg on the knee! Good job you did on that, rose. Ouch on the fibro. Very gentle daily massages maybe? You can do that yourself, from the foot to the knee.
And I SO do not envy you guys over there in that heat. *blows a cooling wind rose's way*

2:06 am

grannyrose

lol, spritey....it's soooo hot.....

2:07 am

sprite

I can't do heat. Drives me insane. Is it humid as well?

2:09 am

grannyrose

spritey...sort of...it varies so much...and today mother mac had the injection into her eye for macula degeneration.....don and i are worn out...have fans on all over the house...both exhaust fans and blowing....

2:10 am

sprite

*hugs*

2:11 am

sprite

humid and hot... it is the worst kind of weather I can imagine. :(
I hope the hot spell will be over soon.

2:11 am

grannyrose

not much chance until march, spritey...

2:12 am

sprite

ouch. Feet in cold water and wet, rolled-up tea towel in the neck, is all I can come up with.

2:15 am

sprite

how is mother mac doing?

2:16 am

grannyrose

we start with a new local doctor tomorrow...please pray that the new doctor is as receptive as the old one.

2:18 am

sprite

*keeping fingers crossed*

2:18 am

dizgrannie

To our DownUnder counterparts...plz be safe if you are in the bushfire regions xoxoxo

2:18 am

grannyrose

2:18 am

2:19 am

dizgrannie

2:19 am

sprite

nice to see my grannies together :)

2:23 am

grannyrose

hey diz

2:25 am

dizgrannie

hey Rose

2:25 am

grannyrose

is the temp. as high there, as here?

2:26 am

sprite

aw, cute dancing kitties, dizgrannie

2:29 am

dizgrannie

Rose....7:30 pm and still 39 c....thank gawd for air/con

2:29 am

sprite

the robot ending is rewarding today

2:30 am

sprite

wow... that is hot, diz :(

2:31 am

dizgrannie

Sprite....major heatwave here....and is supposed to be hotter tomorrow.

2:33 am

grannyrose

diz and spritey.....air-con turned on... oh, yeah

2:33 am

sprite

it must be awful, dizzie. I have been to Dubai once and that was so so hot... but that was on vacation... cannot imagine having to work in that heat.

2:33 am

sprite

good, rose :) A bit of help there.

2:38 am

grannyrose

oh fer heaven's sake..just wrote himself a detailed note on how to do the washing tomorrow....and he has read it all back to me....what is wrong with today's males that they cannot understand a simple note?

2:39 am

sprite

lol! Maybe you should have drawn it for him?

2:39 am

grannyrose

not enough paper available to do that, spritey!!

2:40 am

sprite

:D

2:40 am

grannyrose

still LOL here

2:41 am

sprite

I am trying to communicate with my angry young man here, rose... I am starting to think I need a whole new language to do that ;)

2:42 am

grannyrose

yeah, spritey... what age?

2:42 am

sprite

16 (and a half)

2:43 am

grannyrose

ugh... try lowering your own age....problem is???

2:44 am

sprite

he wants RESPECT... and does not want to earn it... he wants equal rules for parents and children... he wants it all and he wants it now

2:48 am

dizgrannie

one has to EARN respect....but a lot of kids these days do not realise that. They want all given to them NOW.

2:48 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

2:48 am

grannyrose

awww, sprite...very difficult age and thinking. mayhap point out to him that what you have earned taken? years. takes a while. and respect has to be earned, not granted, willy-nilly

2:48 am

sprite

hi Liz!

2:49 am

grannyrose

hey liz

2:49 am

sprite

so true, dizzie. And I am oldfashioned that way. I make them earn it. Let them hate me now... I bet at some point in life they will feel blessed they know how to earn respect.

2:51 am

sprite

good thinking, rose. Will try :) And I don't mind much, most of the time. He has the right to be a teenager. Up to me to be his mum through it all, and if that means being the one he pushes away, so be it.

2:53 am

dizgrannie

true Sprite...worked with our girls, and working with our g/kids except for g/son who is ADHD/OCD...I know that is not a cop out, but if not medicated....he is 'a right little feral bastid'

2:54 am

sprite

setting boundaries for our kids and teaching them selfrespect is the best we can do for them. That is my firm belief. I love them to pieces. But I am not their mate, I am their mum and that is a whole different role.

2:56 am

dizgrannie

Self respect is the first thing we taught our kids and g/kids

2:56 am

grannyrose

omg....have to consult son re what my youngest son and wife have to face , now the new year has happened. they are living in my home before i married don. josh has since qualified and now earns a full-time adult wage and his wife has a full-time job witha new company.

2:56 am

sprite

ADHD/OCD is very very tough. On the parents and on the child. And on the grandparent :)

2:57 am

sprite

sounds good, rose. A new phase in their lives.

2:58 am

grannyrose

spritey, know what they are going through. youngest son, josh, was diagnosed the same.

3:00 am

sprite

must be a real hard battle. As a parent you so want the best for them... but knowing what is best isn't always easy.

3:01 am

sprite

it is the biggest gift there is, dizzie, self respect.

3:01 am

grannyrose

so agree...your kids must be flexible...this is the hardest thing to face.

3:02 am

dizgrannie

Sprite, g/son came home from his Dad's and started on his Mum....belting into her etc, his big Sis grabbed her little Sis and locked themselves in their bedroom.We asked him if his dad had given him his medication.....no answer. My dtr was ready to kill him....we took him to the police station...and the Constable had a very stern word to him...so far so good.

3:02 am

sprite

lol yes. We want them assertive, but not rude... flexible but not too easy on themselves... etc.

3:02 am

dizgrannie

Only wish his Dad would give him his medication

3:03 am

sprite

omg dizzie, that is awful. How irresponsible from his dad to let the medication slip!

3:03 am

grannyrose

okay, outta here....dinner nearly ready. love to you all.

3:03 am

Lizlin

BBL - didn't want to interrupt :)

3:03 am

sprite

aw Liz, you would never interrupt! Always welcome to the conversation!

3:04 am

sprite

enjoy dinner, rose, and good luck in the heat and with the shin. *hugs*

3:04 am

grannyrose

diz...so sorry to see that g/son's father was unable to keep up with meds.

3:04 am

dizgrannie

"Daddy" reckons there is nothing wrong with his son. But friends have seen 'daddy' give in to his son to keep the peace.

3:05 am

sprite

yeah... my children are little angels when I agree in everything they want and don't demand anything from them. Jeezzz.

3:05 am

grannyrose

* poof *

3:32 am

sprite

angry young man off to school... not that angry anymore... even done half his chore and said he would do the other half after school. See... that is how he earns my respect ;)

hi lyn :) xxx
How are you doing in the heat?

3:34 am

lynxxx

OK not too bad today, we are not suffering as other States (plus I get some breezes off the Bay as well down here)

3:35 am

sprite

am glad. Sounds a bit more bearable.

3:36 am

lynxxx

and you have the house to yourself for a few hours after a torrid start to the morning I see/read

3:37 am

sprite

indeed :) I had an early babble start because of the boy being so nasty. I can be a coffee-making, great company mum... or I can let him be. Choice is up to him.

3:38 am

sprite

so only 7 left now... lots of time to make this a productive day.

3:41 am

sprite

fireflies... have a lovely evening, lyn, and a peaceful night. *hugs*

3:42 am

lynxxx

bye Sprite...enjoy your day

3:42 am

grannyrose

wtg spritey!!!!

3:42 am

lynxxx

hi Rose

3:43 am

cotfessi

How many words start with l?

3:44 am

lynxxx

14 words for the L

3:44 am

cotfessi

Thx

3:46 am

cotfessi

Lored

3:46 am

grannyrose

hey, lyn

3:47 am

lynxxx

How are you Rose? everything OK physically and with work?

3:47 am

grannyrose

cot....le x 4....li x 6....lo x 4

3:54 am

cotfessi

Thx rose

3:54 am

grannyrose

lyn....all good with regard to work....and learning to manage knee/leg pain.

3:56 am

lynxxx

will the pain go eventually or you need to work around it forever? (says me yelping occasionally because I haven't been doing my exercises for knee pain!)

3:58 am

grannyrose

lyn, pain will eventually go completely....fibromyalgia is a major issue. surgery tickled up FM in right shin. :(

3:59 am

grannyrose

lyn, fortunately immediate superior recognises that my return to work needs to be gradual.

4:00 am

lynxxx

and that will fade too? I am guessing it is some sort of nerve damage?

4:01 am

grannyrose

yes, dear. exacerbated by surgery...becoming more and more easy to cope with every day which i work.

4:01 am

lynxxx

sounds good with work, our older bodies need more time to repair as you know

4:03 am

lynxxx

I do admire you for managing to do such a physical job

4:05 am

grannyrose

and, halleluah, my brothers have finally seen the light. they realise that don and myself are unable to participate in my mother's care as we are taking 24/7 care of don's mother.

4:06 am

lynxxx

thank goodness

4:08 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah!!! my sister-in-law is finally taking an active role in my mother's care. 'phew'

4:09 am

lynxxx

remind me of your mothers situation - she lives alone?

4:12 am

grannyrose

lyn...not at the moment...she is in rehab...looking at a return to her home(not an option as she will not feed herself, despite provision of meals), or admission to full-time care in a nursing home.

4:13 am

lynxxx

I was actually up your way just prior to Xmas but was for a funeral/memorial service so I didn't even check that you would be home. It was for my SIL father. Her mother and father moved into Wantirna Retirement Village when they were in their early 60s - such a godsend to be in that situation before they both got quite ill

4:14 am

grannyrose

lyn, my mum has stated she wants someone to put the meals in front of her....

4:15 am

grannyrose

oh, lyn...so close, yet so far....

4:15 am

lynxxx

Sounds like she wants to go into a nursing home! that or a very nice hotel

4:16 am

lynxxx

How old is your Mum? and rehab - heart?

4:16 am

grannyrose

lyn, even if i didn't have mother mac to care for...don will not allow my mother here...she would be dead in a week....justifiable matricide.

4:17 am

lynxxx

lol

4:18 am

grannyrose

mum is nearly 87 years old....but acts 1000. mother mac leaves her for dead...so to speak. and she is 94 in february.

4:20 am

lynxxx

I looked at a really nice place in Berwick for my father (but he died a few weeks later) - have rooms and a great dining room but not sure if the cater for difficult 1000 yo's

4:22 am

lynxxx

Its hard isn't it...we have no parents left so I am hoping we won't be a burden on our kids when our time comes. my brother and SIL have been through a LOT in the last year and maybe another year to go

4:25 am

grannyrose

lol....100 more like...told my kids that they owe me 42 years of care...will try and live it out...

4:34 am

grannyrose

okay, thanx for the banter, chat and company. love and hugs to all fellow babblers. see you at the flip

4:34 am

lynxxx

bye Rose

5:47 am

Jivingjenny0

Hi, Liz it's nice to have a larger grid but this one is quite tricky, I have nbs and nbt but am nowhere near half way which is my other goal

5:48 am

Anniebrook

Hi Liz :)

5:48 am

Lizlin

I struggled to half way, then resorted to the list!

5:48 am

Lizlin

I've now got 136 words but still not finding it easy!

5:49 am

Anniebrook

I've been awake since 4:15, made some coffee and started this grid at 5AM..its not easy, well, for me anyway

5:49 am

Jivingjenny0

I don't bother with the list just go for my 3 goals, that's usually enough to satisfy me lol

5:50 am

Lizlin

Do you have the is 7 / 8? If so, can you clue it?

5:51 am

Anniebrook

is7---is, consonant + if you don't follow you ****, then plural

MollyL

The last person who called me drunk at an ungodly hour got such an earful, I have never heard from him again.

6:21 am

Lizlin

6:21 am

rubyfoo

sorry, molly, I def won't call you again! hahah

6:22 am

zoozzoom

I bet she wasn't, Liz.lol

6:22 am

Lizlin

I'm leaving it for tonight! 60 for tomorrow and my brain def hurts!!! Enjoy your days :)

In itself, it should be fairly straightforward to care for...HOWEVER, with her dementia issues, it is a nightmare. She keeps forgetting why she has the sling on, takes it off, and then her arm has to be repositioned each time to get it back into the sling.

8:03 am

MimiCat

I know how that can be, car. My best friend's mother broke her hip--she is 83 and it has been a real struggle taking care of her. At least she doesn't have the dementia problem...that has to be a nightmare to deal with.

8:04 am

smores

8:04 am

MimiCat

If that happens to me when I'm in my 80's, someone will just have to shoot me because my kids won't care.

However, I still have reports to type, so I am going to leave you anyway...although I would much rather stay here. TY all for your hugs and support. I need them so much today. {{hugs}} to all of you.

hego

All of those??

9:07 am

72 Temple Owl

sept 22 to oct 4, sounds like off season?

9:08 am

Haz1558

Not yet, hego - a long story but our initial hopes were dashed. I've begun negotiations again, hoping for one in March.

9:08 am

hego

great season TO

9:08 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. it is a pilgrimage.

9:08 am

hego

Good luck Haz.

9:08 am

hego

All very beautiful places TO.

9:09 am

Haz1558

Thanks, hego. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we are more fortunate this time.

9:09 am

hego

another spaniel?

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

depends on how much is religious and how much is free time. sounds pretty tight.

9:09 am

hego

yes, a lot to cover.

9:10 am

Haz1558

Yes, possibly a blue roan cocker. IF the mother is pregnant, IF we make a good enough impression on the breeder.

9:11 am

Haz1558

TO, it sounds as though there'd be a LOT packed in to the time you have available.

9:11 am

hego

sounds very competitive.

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

haz, have not heard of that. a matter of coloring on a cocker or a breed in itself?

9:11 am

hego

I think you would have an advantage, hubby being a vet.

9:12 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps i will wait for prince charming to take me. ;)

9:12 am

Haz1558

It's a description of the colouring - an English cocker but with kind of grey mottled markings.

9:12 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds pretty, i must google it

9:12 am

trentsnana

Good morning, all.

9:12 am

Haz1558

We'll see what happens but it would be great if it would work out.

9:13 am

hego

TO don't wait for prince charming, trust me.

9:13 am

Haz1558

Good morning, trentsnana.

9:13 am

hego

Hi nana

9:13 am

trentsnana

Haz - blue roan English cockers are my all-time favorite!! Gorgeous dogs. You will have to be sure to post pictures IF everything works out.

9:13 am

hego

<--keeping fingers crossed for Haz.

9:14 am

smores

hello again, gotta about 10 mins to spare, back for a few more :)

9:14 am

Haz1558

Oh I will, trentsnana. I'm trying not to get too hopeful because we were disappointed before.

9:14 am

hego

Hi smores

9:14 am

trentsnana

Well, I'll cross my fingers for you, too.

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

they lok a bit like springer?

9:15 am

smores

lol...agree with hego...don't wait on prince charming

9:15 am

Haz1558

They're smaller than a springer, TO, with longer ears.

9:15 am

trentsnana

Kind of a mini-springer

9:15 am

trentsnana

Gorgeous faces!

9:16 am

smores

my fairy tale was reversed...prince charming turned into a toad...lol

9:16 am

72 Temple Owl

9:16 am

hego

happens often smores.

9:16 am

smores

sounds nice haz...hope you get it :)

9:17 am

smores

unfortunately not...they are quite plentiful

9:17 am

Haz1558

Speaking of toads and changing the subject slightly, do you ever get BBC programmes by David Attenborough?

9:18 am

hego

yes, often.

9:18 am

72 Temple Owl

he does host some programs

9:18 am

hego

He's a favorite of mine.

9:18 am

Haz1558

He has a new series out called 'Africa' - the first episode was last week and it's just outstanding. He had stories ranging from giraffes fighting to crickets invading birds' nests. Amazing photography.

9:18 am

hego

always wonderful.

9:19 am

Haz1558

So, do keep an eye out for it, it's incredible to watch.

9:19 am

hego

I will do.

9:22 am

Haz1558

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

apt - oh dear, i cannot pinpoint th part of speech - just say an anpt desciption.

9:24 am

Haz1558

Aphorism?

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

hmmm... doesn't that imply a phrase or saying in common use? Oh dear, i cannot remember the rules of my own language.

9:26 am

Haz1558

'A terse saying embodying a general truth'

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

tres reyes are gone. i changed to something apropos the conversation

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

i stole it from someone's FB post. another babbler no doubt

9:31 am

72 Temple Owl

i had some great icons for the holidays but since i rarely chat it was kind of moot

9:32 am

Haz1558

What sort of things? Can they be used at other times or were they specifically Christmas?

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

actually, there IS one i can still use, since the season is just over. let me go change, brb

9:35 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

9:36 am

Haz1558

Good day to you, Scrabbler.

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

9:38 am

Judi

Howdilly doo, neighbors. lol, Haz.

9:39 am

Scrabbler

I have to go see a kid with a rash in a minute. Fun grid?

Haz1558

72 Temple Owl

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Bye Owl

9:53 am

Haz1558

It will take more than one sitting, it requires concentration, dedication and the copious use of morewords.

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

but i hate to leave when the old gang is here

9:53 am

mkg

off to work etc

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Well, I shall tease away some words.

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

a trip to ta4/5 bell is in order today

9:55 am

Haz1558

A culinary clue - da7/32

9:55 am

Haz1558

(It's a special mould for making little puddings)

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

can we serve ta4/5s at the so6/18? or would that be declasse?

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

i am thinking dacoise

9:57 am

Haz1558

Will they fit in with the cucumber sandwiches?

9:57 am

Haz1558

da plus 2016 Olympic city, first letters of not right (direction)

10:00 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Scrabbler.

10:00 am

72 Temple Owl

well i am glad someone found it. i am witless

10:01 am

Haz1558

I must admit it's the sort of thing I see in catalogues, I don't actually possess any.

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

i tried wwII cake this week.turned out fairly well

10:02 am

Haz1558

Oh, you mean you haven't got it yet - clue given below, da plus three letters for Olympic city 2016, first two letters of not right (in terms of direction)

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

just oo quick and easy when the cake craving hits

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

i have it ty. btw did my icon change?

10:03 am

Haz1558

Yes, to the spray painted 'greeting'.

10:03 am

72 Temple Owl

i though it would be apropos to the end of the season.

10:04 am

Haz1558

As of last night, only one set of neighbours still had their Christmas lights going.

10:05 am

72 Temple Owl

i always light them up through epiphany. usually longer, since i am lazy

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Lots of lights are still on around here, but we have tons of snow so that prolongs the feeling of a holday

10:05 am

Scrabbler

*holiday

10:05 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, it does prompt folks to light up again.

10:05 am

Haz1558

Our weather over Christmas was pretty grey and drippy, not festive at all.

10:06 am

72 Temple Owl

ours was not bad. a couple of clippers bringing some nuisance snow and icing

10:06 am

Scrabbler

We got a few more inches of snow last evening and overnight. My driveway had to be plowed out again. I pay $300 for the season and I think I have had 6 or 7 plows done so far.

10:07 am

72 Temple Owl

wow! how many incnes on the ground now?

10:07 am

Haz1558

Do the snow ploughs come out automatically or do you have to ring them?

10:08 am

Scrabbler

Over a foot. We have gotten about 20 inches since just before Xmas. But we will have a "January thaw" starting Friday, with a few warm days in a row, :-(

10:09 am

Scrabbler

Dan the Snowplow Man comes by whenever we get more than 3-4 inches of snow. He lives in the neighborhood. Other people pay per plow-out but I gamble and pay for the season, hoping to break even.

10:09 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, ours is beginning now. i am glad ! there is nothing to thaw. all i want is to be able to hang some laundry.

10:09 am

Scrabbler

Of course the town plows the roads.

10:10 am

Haz1558

You're fortunate to have the service available to you. What does he do in the summer?

10:11 am

72 Temple Owl

we may get over 13 C by the weekend

10:12 am

Scrabbler

He does landscape/lawn work--mowing lawns, cutting and trimming tr5, etc. Many guys make a living doing seasonal work in these manners.

10:12 am

Haz1558

That makes sense - he must like the outdoor life!

10:13 am

Scrabbler

Darn, another kid was just given an appt. I thought I was done for the morning. I guess I have to earn my pay.

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

but you can babble on your down time! just hang with us

10:15 am

Haz1558

Did I tell you about the lady with the chinchilla who rang at 2 in the morning to tell us that it hadn't eaten properly for 2 weeks?

10:15 am

Scrabbler

Grrrr, so rude!

10:16 am

Haz1558

She wasn't too happy that husband wouldn't give her the private phone number of the vet who would specialise in small animals. And no, she wouldn't bother making an appointment for the morning surgery.

10:16 am

Scrabbler

We get calls like that too---ongoing problem that a parent must discuss after the office is closed. No common sense! Wait til the office is open.

10:17 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my! shades of mrs. pumphrey!

10:17 am

Haz1558

It's just bizarre, isn't it?

10:17 am

IndiaJan

Anyone having problems entering words into the grid?

10:17 am

IndiaJan

Anyone having problems entering words into the grid?

10:17 am

Scrabbler

So many people do not think and are not resourceful to search for the answer on their own.

10:17 am

Scrabbler

No, Jan

10:18 am

IndiaJan

Hmm. Must be just me...good morning evryone

10:18 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabbler, i just saw that my social group is going snow tubing next month. i am curius but leery have you ever done this?

10:19 am

Haz1558

Hello, India.

10:19 am

Judi

I would love to snow tube, TO. However, I'm afraid my back would never forgive me.

10:20 am

Haz1558

They'll always need someone to stand and hold coats. I would be that person.

10:20 am

72 Temple Owl

i think there is music apres tube, judy. and i am sure the organizer would give me a lift up to blue mountain.

10:20 am

Scrabbler

I have done it before but not since I almost killed myself doing so. I "caught air", i.e. was airborne, 8-10 feet above the snow, off balance, landed face first into snow bank dividing lanes, then flipped over and landed on my back in adjacent lane. I could have been a quadriplegic or been dead easily. Very scary.

10:21 am

Judi

There you go. It would be fun to ride the ski lift at least.

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

Oh well, scratch that outing. no way. no way in hell.

10:21 am

Haz1558

Gosh, there are obviously things even more dangerous than that scary elf on the shelf.

10:21 am

Scrabbler

I was just reviewing my experience yesterday when I drove past the tubing place. I live across the valley from a ski resort and tubing company.

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

or scary elf trysting with santa each night :0

10:22 am

Haz1558

Or does the scary elf sneak lifts up mountains to lurk beneath snow tubes and hurl people to their doom?

10:23 am

Judi

Tubes bounce. Dangerous if you build up enough speed and are unlucky enough to hit a bump.

10:23 am

Scrabbler

I cannot be the only person that became airborne.

10:23 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabbler,w as there a choice of slopes like in skiing? like maybe you were on a more advances slope?

10:23 am

Scrabbler

Hm, they all seemed the same.

10:24 am

72 Temple Owl

i could always hike or snowshoe

10:25 am

Haz1558

You'd have the fresh air and some exercise without the threat of imminent death or injury.

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

i will hope he meant it when he offered to take me to a show instead. nice indoor recreation.

10:38 am

PMS

s

10:40 am

Haz1558

Okay, well I will have to head in to do some ironing soon. TO, any clue needed for any particular word or are you happy to keep going yourself?

10:44 am

Haz1558

The ironing it is... Bye for now!

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Gotta go. Enjoy the day.

Hey Peri, that is a snappy little word : )

10:50 am

periwinkle

I like almost as much as ergo :)

10:50 am

MollyL

And erstwhile

10:50 am

periwinkle

I am becoming disenchanted with the food pantry. I went there today to sign up for time in Jan.

10:51 am

rururocks

... don't forget smaltz

10:51 am

MollyL

Why disenchanted?

10:51 am

MollyL

Smaltz is good : D

10:52 am

periwinkle

There were 4 volunteers behind the counter and one out front signing clients in. that is a total of 5. Only ONE of them had signed up. I spoke with the person at the table and she said that if that happens I could turn around and go home. see you later. Really? I have been a dedicated volunteer for 2 and 1/2 years and always there when I say I will be. The one time I could not I made sure my friend was there.

10:53 am

10:53 am

Not very friendly of them Peri.

10:53 am

periwinkle

I told here that would be a waste of my time but she was not impressed. I will speak to the chef and one other person who I think might have a little more pull. I signed up for the next two weeks. We will see what happens.

10:53 am

periwinkle

Not very nice.

10:54 am

periwinkle

no order or rhyme or reason as to who shows up cause it is a volunteer basis. So. There still needs to be some structure and there is a sign in sheet.

10:55 am

viajes

that is mean, Peri! I would be mad. That is disrespectful of volunteers time.

10:55 am

periwinkle

If I am not happy in the next few weeks I will back off and look for some where else to volunteer my time.

10:55 am

periwinkle

it is indeed!!

10:55 am

rururocks

i had some problems like that peri volunteering too.. they probably have more people than they need.. that was the case for me

10:55 am

periwinkle

I will see what reaction I get from the chef and the other people I intend to speak with

10:56 am

periwinkle

when I started there were few volunteers and everyone signed up.

10:56 am

Dorens

perhaps there is another organization more in need of volunteers. that one sounds too popular.

10:56 am

periwinkle

I don't know where these new people are coming from

10:56 am

periwinkle

everyoone signed up on the list is what I meant

10:57 am

periwinkle

I like the idea of feeding hungry people. would volunteer at a food kitchen but not near me

10:57 am

periwinkle

but there is none near me

10:57 am

periwinkle

I like doing it and it gets me out of the house.

10:58 am

periwinkle

ok, I am through, thanks for listening

10:59 am

periwinkle

help with right column E pls

10:59 am

MollyL

I don't understand why they are favoring walk ins over people who are signed up to work.

11:00 am

MollyL

Right column e sounds like what you put Preparation H on.

11:00 am

periwinkle

I have no idea, guess they are just glad people showed up. YOu would think they would want to hold on to long time, dedicated volunteers but it does not seem so.

Jilly, can you call the place you got the computer and ask them for help?

It's so frustrating to be bumped a lot.

hello nef

12:18 pm

Nef

hi ruby. I seemed to have killed the chat there for a bit (but at least I found a bunch of words in the grid! :-)

12:19 pm

scrambler

Hi all, In for 5 minutes. :3

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

hi scrambler

12:19 pm

scrambler

hi ruby!

12:19 pm

Nef

hi scrambler.

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

how are you, nef? this is a grey, hard winter so far

12:19 pm

scrambler

Ca va bien?

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

comme ci, comme ca....

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

I need an infusion of Spring!

12:20 pm

Nef

I'm doing okay, ruby. It's bright and sunny and sort of warm here for this time of year; 32 (F)

12:21 pm

scrambler

Je ne pouvais pas Ãªtre plus d'accord, le printemps!

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

there wasn't a single break in the clouds all day -- no precip, but dark

12:22 pm

scrambler

It's on / off today, I want sun and lots of it! Are we asking too much?

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

your French is very good!

12:22 pm

scrambler

hahaha

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

my Ruby will be 10 this month and I think she's winding down and it makes me terribly sad

12:23 pm

scrambler

notice the french evening word!

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

she's on 2 heart meds, so her breathing is better, but she looks old, all of a sudden

12:23 pm

scrambler

oh, that's awful, poor thing!

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

it's funny when there are Fr words in the grid. Maybe there are other languages, too, but I wouldn't see them

12:24 pm

Nef

I don't know any foreign languages, so I tried google translation and came up with some odd results, scrambler.

12:25 pm

Nef

one was about spring and one about pregnancy.

12:26 pm

Nef

ruby, what type of dog is she?

12:26 pm

scrambler

i know french, spanish,italian, latin well enough to get around, and am fond of some obscure languages I have tried to self teach. My daughter has exceeded me now! she knows all the above fluently. We always try to talk to one another with everything mixed in and have a good laugh!

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

she (and all the dogs I've ever had) is a chow chow

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

my avatar is Max, a black chow who died last March

12:27 pm

scrambler

chow chow, lovely!

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

they say that after 3 languages, it gets easy, but since I only have 2, I wouldn't know

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

we've had 6 since 1990, but have had only one make it to 10, that was Rufus

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

they are wonderful dogs -- sweet and gentle but great guard dogs at the same time

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

and the puppy, Ruffino, who came to us after Max, is a knockout!

12:30 pm

Nef

I understand that the larger the dog the shorter the lifespan. We've had 2 schiz-poos since 1991; the first one lived to about 16 years and this one is now 14 years old. I thought he was dying in November; the vet couldn't find anything wrong; so we babied him and he's recovered from whatever was wrong.

12:31 pm

scrambler

my father spoke broken french(canadian) hahaha! It inspired me to get it right! ahaha. My daughter spent 6 months at American University in Paris, She went to Northeastern and had majored in International Business and Languages. I settled her in for a week! loved it. We have also visited Beaulieu sur Mer, Monaco and Monte Carlo. I really wanted to visit Annecy! Our friends who own a place in Beaulieu Sur Mer also own property in Annecy!

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

it's true about the size' evidently St. Bernards only live to 8 or so

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

where in Annecy?

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

we're in Veyrier, 10 minutes away

12:32 pm

Nef

(Both were rescues; the first one we got from the pound and this one was from DH's cousins' wife. They were going to put him down due to behavior problems and we thought we could train him. He's learned; but the biggest teacher for him was the first one.

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

Ruby teaches Rufie all sorts of things an, when Max was still alive, she used to "help" him by opening doors and stuff as he was extremely shy

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

you are smart to get rescue dogs. Chows are wonderful, but they are very delicate for such large creatures

12:35 pm

Nef

really? Wow, I wouldn't have guess that! They are so fluffy that I thought they were sturdily built under all that fur.

12:35 pm

scrambler

Oh, they are sweet little puppies! I am not sure, but I will have to ask my daughter, she has been to Beaulieu to visit the family and they took her there and they have apts in Paris as well , 1me Arondissement, the markets are great there! We visited 4me Arondissement , where supposedly my family hails from., sure enough I found my surname which is also the name of a street there....DesRosiers.

12:36 pm

scrambler

my daughter has a rescue pup....Hank!

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

years ago, when I was married the 1st time, we spent a summer in Paris about 3 blocks from a due Rosiers which was at the foot of Montmartre. It was the only place with food stores open on Sundays

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

rue*

12:38 pm

Nef

DesRosiers? I knew a lot of Derosiers in my hometown! (It's in northwestern Minnesota and was nearly half French Canadian and half German descendants.

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

yes, nef, they are big-boned, but I think they've been inbred for beauty and good disposition and have wound up fragile. We've had two black ones, Cleo, who died at 2 of a heart anomaly, and Max, who lived to 8 but was autistic

12:38 pm

scrambler

I love Montmatres, we went there. Music playing on the streets below, Dali and other artistic venues above and around. We searched for the place where some of the movie Amelie was filmed up there.

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

Annecy is lovely, but it's not Paris!

12:41 pm

scrambler

The DesRosier family came to Canada., some married into the Cree Indian nation and know of a Cree Indian Michelle DeRosier who lives in Thunderbay and has some films and documentaries and a great voice.

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

are there any Crees in your family tree?

12:43 pm

scrambler

Yes, my mothers great bon maman! She was born in Shediac New Brunswick and moved to Quebec with my mothers great grandfather.

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

it's terrific, knowing about your interesting forebears

12:44 pm

scrambler

Phantom: to love is in the grid en francais.

12:45 pm

scrambler

well enough about me, I hope your little petit choux gets better!

12:46 pm

12:46 pm

scrambler

12:46 pm

scrambler

little cabbages! My father used to call us that!

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

good night, little cabbages!!! sweet dreams

Oc 5/14

1:42 pm

Michnick

Are my messages coming through? I don't see them

1:43 pm

MollyL

ot5 like the sea animal, but different second vowel and plural

1:43 pm

Nef

1:43 pm

Michnick

Ah, OK I refreshed & now I see me and the clues. Thanks Molly, Nef

1:45 pm

Michnick

Thanks Molly, those are both from the I immediately to the left, I have those, the one in the 2nd column is harder

1:45 pm

Michnick

OK, thanks Nef, got the PT of theangry word

Michnick

1:54 pm

Michnick

Thanks

1:54 pm

Nef

That's a much better clue than mine. My city is warning homeowners to replace any **** water pipes they may have in their homes.

2:03 pm

Deeha

Whewre my saister lived they came and replaced all the 8888 pipes, thejn they found mthat all the houses had been earthed onto the pipes. They were told they 'were living ona volcano and unless they apid Â£xxxx they would DIE' so they all paid and it was two years later before the water board came and re-earthed them!!Needless to say no-one had actually died!!

2:04 pm

Deeha

I meant *** not 8888!!

2:06 pm

Nef

the same *** pipes? Or new copper ones?

2:08 pm

Deeha

Not sure how they did it as the **** pipes were replaced with plastic! Knowing them they just took the money and pretended they had done it!

2:09 pm

Nef

Well, at least they got rid of the ****! I guess some builder here in mid-America used the cheap metal instead of the galvenized iron they should have used.

2:10 pm

Deeha

Most of our 'bad' ones were Victorian and Edwardian

2:10 pm

Nef

Our house wasn't one of the problem homes though. (thank goodness!)

2:12 pm

Deeha

We had a 'scandal' recently when they found batches of toys had been imported from China and had **** paint on them ( nearly typed it in full!!)

Hello, Glantarell

2:44 pm

TraderKate

hi peri. i managed to hoover up those clues as well.
i am using a computer i'm not too familliar with, i can't get lickety to work... is it because i am on a more recent operating system etc? when i try to copy/paste into the bulk add it tells me i'm adding more words than there are in the grid - it puts lots of extra spaces in and each of the word values numbers are also on separate lines. any ideass?

2:44 pm

Glantarell

Hi Peri, Zooz

2:44 pm

zoozzoom

49 now for me peri..but i know you can do it.

I will persevere, zooz and will finish this one

2:51 pm

zoozzoom

AR bottom

2:51 pm

periwinkle

oh, I got that

2:51 pm

TraderKate

well, it's a lot of extra work, but if i manually delete all the extra blank lines nad numbers, i can enter them, but then i have to constantly go back and forth from babble to lickerty to enter each word.

2:52 pm

periwinkle

I consider it slang not rude

2:52 pm

periwinkle

sound like a lot of work, kate

2:52 pm

Glantarell

i don;t think it's rude either, just not quite polite

2:56 pm

2:57 pm

ChrissieDee

Kate, I had the same problem using ie browser, tried using google chrome on same computer and it worked fine

2:57 pm

stidgmere

You are leaving body parts in the grid Trader? You may need them sometime.

2:58 pm

stidgmere

Oh, I get it ty for the clue, Tr.

2:58 pm

dianedecoder

Trader Kate.... the very same thing happened to me when I tried to use Lickety.... haven't used it on this computer for ages. My solution was to access Babble through Google Chrome.... solved the problem ! Hope this helps !

2:58 pm

stidgmere

And now I'm in the PB. Oh the carelessness of it.

2:59 pm

stidgmere

I use Google Chrome, too since it caused a mess with one of the Adobe things.

2:59 pm

bbs

2:59 pm

Glantarell

and I am missing what got you into the pg gm

2:59 pm

stidgmere

the clue was given by TKate.

3:00 pm

dianedecoder

LOL.... I just saw ChrissieDee's suggestion....
I think windows explorer is getting very erratic... I use Google Chrome for some speed games that I play as well.... much faster.

3:00 pm

stidgmere

I was using Firefox when it went to a new version it messed up the Adobe.

3:01 pm

dianedecoder

I haven't got Babble Expert on this computer, and I think I'm going to miss it :( We are in Arizona for 3 months and I'm on my laptop now.

3:03 pm

Glantarell

i don;t think i could complete a puzzle withour BE

3:03 pm

ChrissieDee

Babbing on the ipad now, it's not as easy as the pc and can't open lickety in a new window to have side by side

3:04 pm

Glantarell

i hate babbling on the iPad

3:04 pm

stidgmere

It is a real help to me to have BE available. But I'm getting better at intuitively picking up words from the grid.

3:04 pm

dianedecoder

I just appreciate having Babble Expert if I'm in a hurry , or if my day doesn't allow me any leisurely play.

3:05 pm

ChrissieDee

You'll be making your monkeys redundant soon stidgmere

3:05 pm

dianedecoder

I know I can email Dr. God or someone to get it, but I forget how to do it.

3:05 pm

stidgmere

I'm in the grid, too TR.

3:06 pm

stidgmere

Oh monkeys are another name for intuitive, I think.

3:06 pm

hi again. Back for a few more words. I'm on a Mac and have never been able to use BE. :-(

3:06 pm

I don't even know how to find BE?..?

You do very well Nef without BE. Someday we will all rise up and throw away our crutches or something like that.

I just got an iPad for Christmas... just learning the ropes, but I have Babble on it !! I LOVE the Facetime feature.... we can talk to our great grandbaby very often, while we are away. She tried to kiss me on it the other night !!

3:08 pm

Glantarell

I use kype to talk to grandhcildren in another country every week. But I am going to the other country tomorrow so this week I can give it a miss :-). I love thta they bring things to the comouter to show me, and take ther computer on tours to show me things thye can't bring.

3:12 pm

dianedecoder

Whatever works, to keep us in touch !

3:12 pm

Glantarell

it is SO much better than phone calls, the little ones can be more intuitive and they definitely remmeber you better

3:13 pm

ChrissieDee

Very true Glantarell but I bet you can't wait for real hugs and kisses

3:14 pm

Glantarell

i am looking forward to being completely smothered tomorrow, although I get there after bedtime so maybe i will be woken on wednesday morning!

3:14 pm

TraderKate

someone posted the link for BE not too long before chritstmas, unfortunately, it is not bookmarked on the computer i am on now. i think crossy has it???

3:14 pm

Glantarell

apparently they all have 'grandma to do' lists

3:15 pm

Glantarell

you can't download BE to an iPad

3:16 pm

Glantarell

4 yr old list involves sharing (muesli) breakfast - which she won;t eat when i am not there

3:18 pm

Glantarell

well, warmer than here at any rate - about 18C if i am lucky

3:19 pm

TraderKate

better than what we are getting here - temps hovering at the freezing mark, but very damp and gloomy, with howling winds :((

3:19 pm

dianedecoder

I am happy for you, Glantarell... we are so lucky that our 10 grandkids are all close, and the Great Grandbaby is only 10 minutes away

3:20 pm

Glantarell

i have 5 grandchildre and one on the way - 3 about 25 miles away and 3 about 2000 miles away

3:20 pm

3:24 pm

Hi Glant

3:26 pm

dianedecoder

Thanks so much, and hi Molly :-)

3:28 pm

Glant and Diane, The Traveling Grandmas : D

3:28 pm

TraderKate

thanks for the BE link molly. unfortunately, it still does it. maybe tomorrow i will try to use chrome if i can

3:29 pm

MollyL

It still does what?

3:31 pm

MollyL

And Glant is right, Babble Expert does not work with Macintosh Operating Systems

3:31 pm

TraderKate

when i copy/paste to bulk add in lickety, it inserts lots of extra blank lines, and the number values for the words are also added on separate lines like this:

word

4

6

next word....

3:32 pm

TraderKate

then it tells me i'm cheating by adding more words than there are in the grid :(

3:33 pm

MollyL

You will have to ask Lickety about that:
licketySplitAUS@gmail.com

3:33 pm

beachboggle

I get the exact same thing, Trader... :-(

3:34 pm

TraderKate

i think it is something specific to this computer - i'm not sure but think it is windows 7, but has IE 2010?

3:34 pm

dianedecoder

TraderKate.... did you see my earlier message???? Exactly the same thing was happening to me, so I changed to Google Chrome to access Babble.... Lickety now works perfectly. ( If you don't have Google Chrome, it is very easy to download ) I don't use it as my default browser yet, but I plan to.

3:34 pm

beachboggle

I am on my work computer; have not had this problem at home

3:34 pm

TraderKate

3:35 pm

3:36 pm

MollyL

Internet Explorer has LOADS of issues. I highly recommend Chrome or Firefox instead.

3:36 pm

TraderKate

i will try the chrome tomorrow if i can, i'm at an internet cafe, not sure if it is loaded or if i will be allowed to downlo9ad it.... anyway, almost out of time, they close at 5

3:36 pm

bichon

love Chrome

3:37 pm

hi nef!

8:41 pm

smores

hiya nef

8:41 pm

Nef

How are you doing, sue? And how is everyone doing tonight?

8:42 pm

uusue2

we are doing pretty well, Nef, my shoulder is better and Frank isn't having too much in the way of chemo side effects, so yay!

8:42 pm

uusue2

how about everyone at your place?

8:44 pm

Nef

hanging in there, sue. :-) DH was doing some of his exercises just now and complains that exercising causes pain!

8:45 pm

uusue2

well, I suppose it does, in some sense...

8:46 pm

uusue2

just found my dog in the grid :-)

8:46 pm

Nef

He's been sitting all day, walks around the "circle path" in the house a few times a day; and since he has PT tomorrow he thinks he should suddenly do all his exercises for the week! MEN!!

8:47 pm

uusue2

ha, I am a bit like that myself, not always so good about doing my exercises between physical therapy sessions - I got a new one to do today, too

8:47 pm

Nef

what's his name? ;-)

8:48 pm

uusue2

lol

8:49 pm

uusue2

seriously, I am hoping to avoid another fusion, I am getting the same symptoms I usually get when my neck is starting to act up - don't need that right now!!

8:49 pm

Nef

I really try to do my therapy at least twice every day. I just want to preserve and increase the function I have and I can do this myself

8:49 pm

negativeneil

You're welcome, smores. :)
[sorry... not really here, doing stuff

8:50 pm

do your therapy, sue! It does help!

hi and bye, multi-tasking neil.

8:50 pm

Hi Sue... and listen to Nef. ;)

8:51 pm

negativeneil

Haha, Nef. Ok... off here again. I'm just "On-Again, Off-Again Neil" this evening.

8:51 pm

scrambler

hi again, back from dinner.

8:52 pm

Nef

that's better than what I called you; but I didn't want to be accused of being nasty! ;-)

8:53 pm

smores

lol...sorry guys, stuck in the grid...down to 30 so can chat awhile :)

8:53 pm

Nef

hi again scrambler; and smores too

8:54 pm

smores

hey scrambler :)

8:54 pm

uusue2

hi scrambler!

8:54 pm

smores

lol...uu what's your dog's name

8:55 pm

uusue2

se4/4 (Italian for evening, or in the song que se4/4 se4/4)

8:57 pm

smores

nice... :) think that was what nef was asking...or maybe being naughty :) never know with nef

8:58 pm

Nef

smores: :-P

8:59 pm

Nef

to be honest; I was looking for a clue.

8:59 pm

smores

lol...

8:59 pm

uusue2

are there really 14 words from that a to the right of the d?? so far I only have 4.

8:59 pm

smores

yay...already had it

8:59 pm

Nef

and I have that word already now that I figured it out

9:00 pm

Nef

I have 8 of the 14 so far and I can't find anymore

9:00 pm

scrambler

still need 121 so will be monkeying

9:00 pm

Lizlin

Hi again :) Can clue for a short while if needed :)

9:01 pm

uusue2

hi liz!

9:01 pm

Nef

there are a lot of ar words, suee. :-(

9:01 pm

smores

Hi again Liz :)

9:03 pm

uusue2

I only have 4 ar words. Sigh.

9:04 pm

Lizlin

They are some weird words - well, I thought so.

9:04 pm

smores

13 ar words

9:04 pm

Lizlin

There are - that should've said!

9:05 pm

smores

lol...1st 3 start that way

9:05 pm

Lizlin

I reckon 6 are common words at first glance

9:06 pm

Lizlin

Hmmm! Well that's such a common word itself - how can you not use that?

9:06 pm

Nef

I hadn't noticed that til you said it, smores

9:06 pm

Lizlin

Those is the only 3 that start that way - lol!

9:08 pm

smores

I know I expected a lot more with that beginning

9:15 pm

negativeneil

Hey you're here again, Lizlin.

9:15 pm

Nef

ARRRGGG! If you can have an ar 4/4 and a pt of it (the ar 6/21) WHY isn't there a present tense of it????

9:16 pm

Lizlin

Hi again Neil :)

9:16 pm

negativeneil

Well that isn't technically a past tense of it, since it's a noun. It would mean being covered in it.

9:16 pm

Nef

(I think I've tried that 30 times today.

9:17 pm

negativeneil

Like if I was covered in feathers, I'd be feathered... maybe even tarred and feathered if tar was involved. But I hope never to be. :P

9:17 pm

smores

lol...

9:17 pm

negativeneil

[think I'll behave myself so that never happens]

9:17 pm

Nef

Oh, I know, neil; it's just I keep entering the same darn words now -- and they aren't right!

9:18 pm

smores

I like the 2nd ar6/21...lol

9:20 pm

Nef

I haven't found it yet, smores; but am looking

9:21 pm

smores

pain in the ahole...lol

9:21 pm

smores

sorry...couldn't help it :)

9:22 pm

Lizlin

If no clues wanted, I'm off for lunch :)

9:23 pm

Nef

Enjoy your lunch Lizlin! :-)

9:23 pm

smores

Bye Lizlin...enjoy :)

9:23 pm

Nef

and thanks for the clue, smores. I think I got it! :-)

9:23 pm

negativeneil

Bon apetit Lizlin.

9:24 pm

Lizlin

Toda Raba :)

9:24 pm

negativeneil

;)

9:25 pm

smores

:) I try not to cuss and therefore say things like ahole...think I'll use the ar6 next time...lol

9:26 pm

smores

that'll be sure to get my daughter's eyes rolling :)

9:28 pm

smores

and yes I know that it is actually a plant

9:29 pm

negativeneil

Haha. Well considering my profile should probably come with a "strong language" warning label, I'm not too offended, smores. ;)

9:30 pm

negativeneil

It's only words.

9:30 pm

smores

lol....didn't think you would be...I am usually not offended by others cussing...just my preference

9:32 pm

smores

my daughter thinks I am so weird when I get mad and call people aholes...or my own little made up curse words....

9:34 pm

negativeneil

Ha. How old is she ?

9:35 pm

smores

15 going on 25

9:35 pm

smores

the eyes they be a rollin' ....lol

9:36 pm

negativeneil

Ok, wait until she's an adult... she'll be saying those words herself I'm sure.

9:36 pm

negativeneil

Life... people... y'know?

9:37 pm

smores

lol...yeah

9:40 pm

Nef

yeah; my dtr. is now 30 and I have to tell her to refrain from the language she uses (even though she was once very offended by it herself)

9:41 pm

smores

I have mild road rage, she either thinks it's hilarious or rolls her eyes when I start ranting. " Friggin' poop for brains ahole..."

9:42 pm

negativeneil

Ha. My parents know better than to try and tell me that... not that Dad would anyway, he uses it himself. Cusses like a sailor! Haha.

9:42 pm

negativeneil

I joke about what a great influence and role model he was... but seriously, he was. :)

9:43 pm

smores

I used to cuss a lot and still do on occasion...I broke the habit when my daughter was learning to talk.

9:43 pm

wvteach

i may be old fashioned - but i was brought up in a family where my parents used any cussing - i raised my sons with out using any of that language with them - i don't know what they do away from me but they don't ever use it around us or their children

9:46 pm

negativeneil

I don't ever use it around children either.

9:46 pm

smores

My dad cussed alot around us, not at us or anything, my mom cussed some, just dammit and occasionally shit.

9:46 pm

negativeneil

And our dad refrained from it more when we were young kids... unless he injured himself or something equally serious happened that elicited an expletive or two... or even a few.

9:47 pm

wvteach

living in a college town, i find it depressing that too many students don't seem to know how to speak a sentence without four letter words

9:47 pm

smores

Nothing worse that hearing the F word or any curse word for that matter come out of a little kid

9:47 pm

negativeneil

That is pretty sad, wvteach. I have to agree.

9:47 pm

smores

agree Teach

9:48 pm

negativeneil

I use them... but time and place. Now and then in my writing they are there for effect, sparingly. And because I'm quoting someone else verbatim who was using them.

9:49 pm

smores

That's cool neil

9:51 pm

smores

not offended at all by it except when overly used like teach just said or when coming from little kids

9:51 pm

smores

Personally, I will continue to say friggin ahole...lol

9:52 pm

negativeneil

Haha.

10:05 pm

Nef

I was raised without anyone even saying "damn" around us. I do say that myself and some mild cuss words; but both of my kids can swear like sailors. I just ask that they don't use that language when speaking with or around me. My son and DIL used to swear a lot in front of my grandson; but once he started talking they've tried to cool it down a lot.

10:07 pm

smores

that's good Nef....that's what made me stop

10:08 pm

negativeneil

Yes. When/if we have kids I'll be curbing it too.

10:10 pm

smores

good for you neil :)

10:10 pm

Nef

start now; because it's a hard habit to break! ;-)

10:10 pm

smores

they're gonna hear it once they start school but still

10:13 pm

negativeneil

Hey. I grew up hearing it now and then and I didn't go around cussing inappropriately... and still don't.

10:13 pm

negativeneil

We were taught not to do that.

10:14 pm

smores

lol...but then again my kids probably thought fudge was a bad thing when they were little...."AWW Fudge"

10:14 pm

negativeneil

Haha. I've always thought it was a good thing myself. Pretty delicious! A little too sweet for me now though. But a little now and then is ok.

10:15 pm

smores

That's true neil, just when they are learning to talk they will repeat everything and sometimes at very inappropriate times.

10:16 pm

negativeneil

Yep. That's why you have to teach them.

10:16 pm

smores

Yeah, they know that now...lol

10:16 pm

Nef

my step mother swore a lot and my half sister and brother were swearing at ages 2 and 4 (when I first met them). I just thought it was nasty then and they still have pretty nasty mouths now as adults; but that's how they were raised

10:17 pm

wvteach

kids model what they hear around them when they are little

10:17 pm

negativeneil

Oh I don't think we have "nasty mouths" even now. "Whakatane" aside... don't ask. :P

10:18 pm

smores

lol....you know I have to ask

10:18 pm

Nef

They do try not to swear around me because I've asked them; and it's still tough for them to do. They did learn about what society does and doesn't tolerate along the way thought

10:18 pm

negativeneil

Well not saying more about that in here, sorry.

10:19 pm

negativeneil

This name at y-a-h-o-o, if you want to know.

10:19 pm

smores

lol...okay neil

10:19 pm

negativeneil

Shoot me an email there and I'll answer.

10:19 pm

Nef

I can leave if you'd like. ;-)

10:20 pm

negativeneil

Haha Nef... not necessary. I wouldn't in here anyway.

10:20 pm

smores

lol

10:20 pm

Nef

(not having much luck with the last 100 here anyway

10:20 pm

negativeneil

And the email thing applies to you too.

10:20 pm

smores

<----ponders now if she really wants to know...hmmm

10:21 pm

Nef

thanks, neil. I know; sometimes my age shows....

10:21 pm

negativeneil

Well it's pretty funny.

10:21 pm

negativeneil

Huh Nef?

10:22 pm

smores

how's that ?

10:23 pm

Nef

not caring for the coarse language and asking my own siblings to watch their language around me...

10:24 pm

Nef

I feel old when I say that.

10:25 pm

negativeneil

Don't think that has anything to do with age.

10:26 pm

smores

I agree doesn't mean your old nef

10:27 pm

Nef

okay, how about old-fashioned?

10:27 pm

smores

:)

10:27 pm

Nef

:-)

10:28 pm

smores

and nothings wrong with that :)

10:31 pm

smores

Down to the dirty dozen

10:31 pm

Nef

no, smores, I don't think so either. The Aunt who raised me (and had been County Superintendent of schools) used to say that a person's intelligence couldn't be measured if they only use 4 letter words.

10:31 pm

negativeneil

Eh. Could be, may not be? And like smores says...

10:32 pm

negativeneil

So don't want the Whakatane story huh?

10:32 pm

negativeneil

And I say that too, Nef. ;)

10:33 pm

smores

lol...actually I do...was gonna finish here

10:33 pm

negativeneil

Oh ok.

10:34 pm

smores

my em is smooremuse@gmail.com

10:34 pm

Nef

I try not to be offended by other peoples' language unless it's aimed at me. And most people here don't swear in the chog either

10:34 pm

smores

not sure why I didn't just do that to begin with...lol

10:34 pm

negativeneil

No. You don't see me doing that in the chog.

10:35 pm

smores

the hell you say...

10:35 pm

smores

sorry...

10:35 pm

negativeneil

Well some don't like to, smores. In case those spam bots grab the addresses.

10:36 pm

Nef

LOL! You're going to slay me now! :-)

10:36 pm

smores

oops...forgot about the ar6

10:36 pm

smores

10:44 pm

I am giving up for the night. I started working on this grid last night and dozed off on it; now I'm doing the same thing trying to get through it. Wishing you all a good night! And Happy Babbling, Everybody! Niters! :-)

10:44 pm

10:58 pm

10:58 pm

10:58 pm

ok, enough for me, early meetings tomorrow so I'd better get some sleep. See you all tomorrow!

11:01 pm
