it just doesn't seem that long ago that your dil's brother was diagnosed
12:31 am
jillibus
it's about a year, west. And yesterday son had to have their beloved dog put to sleep -- just old age (14). They are devastated.
12:32 am
westford
I know, I saw that too. So hard for them
12:33 am
jillibus
West, you are so tuned in xx
12:33 am

my best friend and my cousin both had lung cancer and both are well so far
12:33 am

I was reading through the chog after the fact or I would have said something before this
12:34 am
jillibus
good luck to them, west. D-i-l's bro continued smoking until the end. That's a real addiction.
12:34 am
westford
are either of their kids nearby jilli ?
12:35 am
jillibus
Yes, their daughter is very near -- son in Vancouver. Both very caring and in touch. Daughter had been filling in at school for her mother (they both teach there) and is also just finishing her Master's thesis.
12:36 am
westford
that's such a plus when the kids are supportive
12:37 am
jillibus
They have many friends and great support. D-i-l has been on compassionate leave from school, now just getting back to work.
12:37 am

Son is going through a rough time. My ex is no help. My son has good doctors, and things will get better. What I need is me time, which is why I'm up at this hour, babbling and chatting.

12:48 am

if it helps him to get through his illness that's okay
12:49 am
melonheadjujube
Well, that's the bind. It can make things worse for him. He is agitated at quitting.
12:50 am
westford
just be there for him
12:50 am
melonheadjujube
He has a triple bind: learning disabilities, possible serious mental health dx, and a family history of alcoholism on his dad's side.
12:51 am
westford
you said he had good doctors..that's such a plue
12:51 am
melonheadjujube
I've learned to stay calm no matter what, but once or twice he's taken an intimidating tone, which is so not like him. He's been drinking at his dad's, too.
12:51 am
melonheadjujube
Yes it is.
12:52 am
melonheadjujube
That he has good docs.
12:52 am

his dad is not helping much
12:53 am

12:53 am
melonheadjujube
nope. Dick (not his name!) still mad at me for leavin nearly two decades ago. Obstreperous and immature. When my daughter was in 5th grade, she told a teacher her dad was "a ten-year-old with a driver's license."
12:54 am

12:54 am

how old is your son, melon?
12:56 am
melonheadjujube
Thans for being a good cyber-listener westford. I do want to be there for him in a few hours as he is planning to take an early morning run before heading to his daily destination, a part of the "clubhouse model for psychosocial rehabilitation" a wonderful place.
12:56 am
melonheadjujube
21, that age where illnesses like schizophrenia can emerge. That is a possible dx.
12:56 am

8:12 am
smores
Hi bichon...about an inch or two left from Tuesday
8:12 am
starryjess
oops I screw up, I said I needed the second, but I really need the first
8:13 am
bichon
Just when I was able to wear sneakers again
8:13 am
hurshy

8:13 am
starryjess
I'm not sure about that coin

8:13 am
starryjess
ok, yes, the second is the coin
8:14 am
hokie carla
all I can think of is Guilder, and that is not FL
8:14 am
starryjess
yes hurshy
8:14 am
MollyL
There's that word again. I'm not sure it means what you think it means.
8:14 am
hurshy
guilder is the country across the sea - the sworn enemy of fl6!
8:15 am
bichon
kl 5 is a funny word
8:16 am
hokie carla
I know this guy who had never seen TPB, and then he watched it and was like, eh. WTH?!!
8:16 am
hokie carla
wow, bichon - got it on the first guess just from your description.
8:16 am
MollyL
You mean he didn't like it?
8:17 am
hokie carla
he thought it was just okay
8:17 am
hokie carla
not one of the greatest movies of all time
8:18 am
bichon
You have to wonder about people who don't absolutely love TPB
8:18 am
bichon
kl 5 is a S. African ravine
8:18 am
MollyL
There are people with under developed senses of humor
8:19 am

hokie carla

8:21 am
starryjess

8:22 am
starryjess

8:22 am
bichon
fl + double vowel + two more vowels
8:22 am
hokie carla
yep. I've tried all kinds of combinations.
8:22 am
smores
lol...found it, yep it's an odd one
8:23 am
starryjess
got it, thanks bichon
8:23 am
frogface
is it the same as the coin with a different last letter?
8:23 am
starryjess
it WAS weird :P
8:23 am
starryjess
no frog
8:23 am
hokie carla
okay, that's just not a word
8:23 am
bichon
it sounds like a loose woman, but minus a consonant
8:24 am
smores
lol...nice bichon
8:24 am
MollyL
Or the guy, of song, who is told "me gotta go"
8:25 am

hokie carla
I usually call it a board anyway.
8:37 am
hokie carla

8:38 am
hokie carla

8:38 am
hokie carla
thx, jumped the gun
8:38 am
hurshy

8:40 am
MollyL
If you add a t to that it would be an even smaller idea, but not a word : )
8:41 am
o-o
rip van w.....
8:41 am
hokie carla
well, thanks, Molly. found a t word I didn't have (to pee-pee), and that led me back to the in.
8:42 am
smores
t at the front does
8:42 am
hokie carla
so, it is a word - you should try it.
8:42 am
MollyL
: ) I meant at the end of in 5. Clearly I am not communicating well today.
8:42 am
Jen34
I think Molly meant to add a "t" to the end of the in word . . . that, unfortunately, is not a word :(
8:43 am
smores
in5....what a small child might say when they have pee
8:43 am
Jen34

9:33 am
hokie carla
1st was cereal w/ half banana. 2nd is yogurt with granola. So, not exactly hobbit-like.
9:33 am
smores
1st was just a yogurt, usually eat some fruit of yogurt when I first get up...then make breakfast a bit later
9:35 am

1:22 pm

im too broke to use $20 dollar words, so I can only use parts of them at a time
1:22 pm

We were both groping around the gr4/7 as all newbies do :-) Pini was my most patient helper at the beginning, explaining what everything meant.

Bonasa
Hi all--Sorry if this has been asked many times before, but is there an iPad app for playing Babble "on the go"?
1:28 pm
dcseain
No, Bonasa, just the website.
1:28 pm
Wyrd
i can't afford capital letters, punctuation, or complete sentences either obviously
1:28 pm
dianedecoder
I have the same question... just received an iPad for Christmas, and I'm still exploring and learning.
1:28 pm
Bonasa
OK, thanks for confirming, dcseain. I didn't see it in the App store, but wanted to double-check.
1:29 pm
dcseain
There will be a mobile-friendly update to the site as Dr God has time.
1:29 pm
welki
it's not that bad on the ipad - just a little more time consuming if you need to use a list
1:29 pm
dianedecoder
I did get it directly though but not as an app.
1:30 pm
Bonasa
OK, I'll give it a shot "directly" and see how it goes.
1:31 pm
dianedecoder
I played it using a keyboard that my son bought to go along with the iPad.... works like a blue tooth apparatus.
1:32 pm
welki
i like my wireless keyboard, too - typing on the ipad keyboard is a little hard for me
1:32 pm
dianedecoder
You set the keyboard to recognize your iPad. .... I don't know the proper terms, but only that it works !!
1:33 pm
jmcnrick
good to know. . .thinking next birthday the boy will get an ipad. . .
1:34 pm
Bonasa
Yeah, I can see how the onscreen keyboard would be a pain. OK, we'll go with the wireless one.
1:34 pm
jmcnrick
not that he babbles. . .he found babble once through stumbleupon and recognized it as my game and left so as not to crowd me. . .
1:34 pm

9:47 pm
Jillyjill
He is a chemist and was working for an environment testing company on the gulf oil spill
9:47 pm

*anticipating good news* (nice lead in)
9:47 pm
welki
*listening*
9:48 pm
Jillyjill
Contract ended Wednesday...lost the job but the company offered him another one today.... WHEW!!! Thank you dear Lord!!
9:48 pm
Pinikula
wonderful news!
9:48 pm
Pinikula
congrats to your son! job well done!
9:49 pm
Jillyjill
He is a part of that poor jinxed class of 2009 who had the misfortune of graduating college with poor job prospects, a tanking economy and college loans to pay off!
9:49 pm
Jillyjill
Yes, he deserves it, he has a great work ethic and goes above and beyond.
9:53 pm
Lizlin
That's great news Jilly. Really pleased.
9:53 pm
Pinikula
I wish more youngsters had that kind of outlook!
9:54 pm
Jillyjill
It sure is hard to watch your grown kids struggle...*sigh*
9:55 pm
Pinikula
I totaly understand that one, JJ...my oldest is back home and trying to establish herself again...save money and find her own place...it's hard...glad I can offer her a room at the inn :)
9:55 pm
Jillyjill
LOL pini, I have one of each of them, first born is a little less enthused about work...but like going to college
9:55 pm
welki
but you're watching him persevere and succeed - kudos to doing the parenting job the way it's supposed to be done!
9:56 pm
Pinikula
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, JJ, that the other one will make it...not saying that the first is not...just "timing is everything"...right? :)
9:57 pm
Jillyjill
Yah, but he had a real rough start. College (private Catholic nonetheless) screwed up and he found out AFTER he'd moved that he was 3 general credits short of his degree. So he buckled down, found a job delivering pizza, then at Walgreens while he go that straightened out.
9:58 pm
Pinikula
good to hear he had the sense to finish it, JJ!
9:58 pm
Jillyjill
Then he worked for head hunters with spotty jobs of various lengths in chemistry until he landed at this company 1 1/2 years ago, worked for the temp company then the real company hired him on
9:59 pm
gapeach
May I please have a clue for fl6-30 the 2nd? Thanks
