VolleymomDee

That would make it tougher.

12:49 am

flosey

the puzzle can be made smaller though, for better fit

2:44 am

grannyrose

hello sweetie. how are things today?

2:45 am

rubyfoo

((rose))

2:45 am

rubyfoo

in a holding pattern. How about you? Have the meds kicked in?

2:46 am

rubyfoo

what is the disability payment system there? In France, I think people make as much money working as not

2:46 am

grannyrose

{{{ruby}}} the meds kicked in last night..i slept for 8 hours straight. and lasted until 4:30pm before muscles started to spasm. so, am doing really well.

2:49 am

grannyrose

ruby....have been thinking about that. i need to make an appointment with the appropriate people to discuss my options. today was really busy at work. had my first taste of 5 theatres running, and only 3 staff to recover the patients. got a bit ha4y, i can tell you.

2:50 am

rubyfoo

if the economics would allow it, I would think you'd be better off at home, fully recovering for a while, before tackling those insanely long days on your feet!

2:51 am

flosey

hi rose and ruby, good to hear you are feeling positive results from meds, rose, I'm off now, just finished, last words, ar6 and 7

2:51 am

grannyrose

*smiling at you* yeah, i know...but i still have the investment property to pay off.

2:51 am

flosey

goodnight and hugs

2:51 am

grannyrose

WTG FLOSEY!!!!

2:51 am

grannyrose

sleep well, dear friend. see you on the morrow

2:52 am

rubyfoo

yay flosey! jut started

2:52 am

flosey

tks rose and ruby, I found it moves along nicely ruby - along with Lickety's help

2:56 am

rubyfoo

if you took home "cases" for a while, at only a few hrs/week, could you collect disability?

3:00 am

grannyrose

yay, DH has just fixed the vacuum cleaner...the stupid woman who comes to clean mother mac's rooms, yanked on the power cord so hard she broke the wires inside the cord.

3:02 am

dizgrannie

FWs night all

3:02 am

grannyrose

WTG DIZ!!!!

3:02 am

rubyfoo

hell and bye and grats, dizgrannie!

3:03 am

rubyfoo

hello* whoops

3:14 am

grannyrose

and done. ruby, that is an option....i did do home nursing for a while. but the income is very variable.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

my grandmother used to work "baby cases", but that's many many years ago

3:19 am

rubyfoo

the home nurses here make as much money as the MD.s

3:20 am

rubyfoo

when Burt was bitten y the dog, a nurse visited for months

3:21 am

rubyfoo

and I learned a lot from her (can give shots now, can change deep dressings, et)

3:21 am

rubyfoo

of course. the MD's don't make very much. less than the vets!

3:27 am

grannyrose

lol, isn't that just the way....i mean an animal doctor earns more than a human doctor...if you see what i mean....

3:28 am

rubyfoo

we are Lucky with out vet. she mKES HOUSE CALLS AND ONLY CHARGES 25 EUROS BECAUSE IT'S ON HER WY HOME (AT EAST THAT WAS FOR rUBY)

3:28 am

rubyfoo

whoops, didn't mean to shourt

3:28 am

rubyfoo

or even shout*

3:31 am

grannyrose

s'okay....can't hear you over here, anyway.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

smll voice, even shouting

3:33 am

grannyrose

and dinner is ready. i think i had better go. have fun with the grid, dearest. see you tomorrow?

Anniebrook

Im still on the B\

Sunny day here too..still a nip in the air though..good to hear you are having nice weather too, Annie.

7:34 am

Anniebrook

B

7:36 am

hokie carla

36F and sunny here right now. Supposed to get up to 55.

7:36 am

Anniebrook

nice!

7:37 am

hokie carla

was 60 something yesterday, and I suspect my husband either turned off the heat or turned the AC on because it's freezing in here this a.m.!

7:38 am

Anniebrook

can you turn the heat back on?

7:38 am

hokie carla

yes, but I'm too busy babbling. ;-)

7:39 am

hokie carla

I'm drinking coffee, so that should help.

7:39 am

Anniebrook

first things first, I always say

7:40 am

hokie carla

and of course my kids still wore shorts to school. there were days when it was like 25 out and off they went to the bus stop in shorts.

7:41 am

Anniebrook

my grandkids do that. Im in a winter coat and there they are in shorts.

7:41 am

zoozzoom

You get that here too, Hokie..people with t-shirts on and it was like 1c outside...they must be mad..lol

7:41 am

Anniebrook

This grid looked easy at first.

7:42 am

Riverdance

wassup folks

7:42 am

Anniebrook

Hi River!

7:42 am

zoozzoom

Hello, River.

7:42 am

hokie carla

I used to have a rule that if it got below a certain temp they had to wear pants, but I got tired of arguing with them. If they want to freeze, they're old enough.

7:43 am

Riverdance

my son is 16 and wears shorts every day to school....i have bigger battles to take on than that one

7:43 am

hokie carla

wassup, River!

7:44 am

Riverdance

Annie I totally agree about the grid - looked easy and then came to a grinding halt with 101 to go

7:44 am

Anniebrook

River, even when there was snow on the ground?

7:45 am

Riverdance

through every storm Annie - cute at the bus stop in shorts and a winter jacket - at least he wore a jacket

7:45 am

smores

Hi again :)

7:45 am

hokie carla

mine consider a hoodie a jacket. So, shorts & hoodie with a T-shirt underneath everyday.

7:46 am

Anniebrook

They are all the same. When I saw my grands (on a visit) I almost fell down. In the twenties, shorts and a hoodie. I said Im coming back in the summer.

7:46 am

hokie carla

and if it's raining, they think the hood is an umbrella.

7:46 am

Anniebrook

LOL , youre right~

7:47 am

smores

lol...seems t be a lot of that going around. My two both wear pants, but consider a hoodie a coat

7:47 am

2:18 pm

sprite

Francis Pope is an actor/writer

2:18 pm

bichon

So what does this all mean? Is he going to modernize the church or is it the same old

2:18 pm

sprite

same old same older, I think, bichon

2:18 pm

MollyL

Mario is his middle name.

2:18 pm

cosdem

Excited. I have something to do tonight now. I get to research the new pope :)

2:19 pm

MollyL

This was a very conservative choice.

2:19 pm

bichon

Oh well, secular me will return to babbling

2:20 pm

cosdem

is he close to the curia?

2:20 pm

2:23 pm

bichon

He looks grim

2:24 pm

2:24 pm

cosdem

ok i take it back. he looks better now that hes talking

2:24 pm

movieman

Why does the Catholic Church nearly always elect Popes who are at least in their 70s?

2:25 pm

bichon

It takes a long time to get very set in your ways

2:25 pm

cosdem

he looks friendler than Benedict :P

2:26 pm

sprite

cos: He has affirmed church teaching on homosexuality, though he teaches the importance of respecting individuals who are homosexual. He strongly opposed legislation introduced in 2010 by the Argentine Government to allow same-sex marriage. In a letter to the monasteries of Buenos Aires, he wrote: "Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God." He has also insisted that adoption by homosexuals is a form of discrimination against children.

2:26 pm

sprite

lol bichon... too true

2:26 pm

bichon

What about birth control, female priests?

2:26 pm

uusue2

4:40 pm

crosshair

4:41 pm

sammysmom

4:41 pm

crosshair

4:45 pm

MollyL

SMom, I am familiar with all of them and think a great deal of their work. I think we are both physical and mental and that our thoughts direct our physical outcome.

4:45 pm

crosshair

some chemo days when i was down in the city,i was litteraly on my hands and knees in the corner of a washroom puking my guts out and dragging myself back to the chair.got to the point where the dr,s themselves would come and get me,but never give up

4:46 pm

crosshair

my arms looked like a junkie road map,but you think on a goal and grind to it

4:47 pm

crosshair

as you may or may not know,many cancer centres here and in the us have a ships bell in the lobby that patients ring when all the treatment was over and i swore,i promised my wife and son that i would ring that god damned bell

4:47 pm

sammysmom

yup molly and cross... i am a believer in that, and because of that i can still walk an use my hands to crochet.. oa and ra are a bitch, but so is ca and other things that attack us but old age ain't for wimps and i will fiight to the death ( aand beyiond for others if i can)

4:48 pm

uusue2

unfortunately if you are stage 4 your treatment is never really over, but at least you might be able to pause every now and then

4:50 pm

crosshair

cancer is never over,suze,i stand a 10% chance for the rest of my like of developing a new cancer totally unrelated to my others.it is the price you pay.you are never over it,you just have clean periods.2 year,3,5,10 we live for those laspses when cancer cannot find us and live for today and our famlies

4:50 pm

crosshair

life

4:52 pm

crosshair

i have had more radiation in the past ten years due to scans that drs advise me to take the pat down when i travel and not use the airport scanner

4:53 pm

crosshair

Having faith and confidence in a person is a wonderful gift. And it bolsters their faith and confidence in themselves.

you do not get scared of cancer.you get angry at it.think of cancer as a slimeball taking your purse but you have a baseball bat and that is your will and determination.now go and bonk it on the head

4:57 pm

ch1212

Thanks, crossy. Pretty much my whole family passed from it (mom, dad, grandparents, brother, aunts) and I'm now the average age of them all, so I wonder how I will do. They all fought -- very hard -- and were heroes to me.

4:57 pm

uusue2

Lol Molls! I watched the 'performance'. Crossy, he is 76!

5:06 pm

crosshair

gads..going to have to go through it all again ina few yers.they should give it to a 30 year old

5:07 pm

MollyL

In order to "get where you need to be" to become Pope, you have to be well into your sixties.

5:07 pm

Soodle

A thirty year old WOMAN Cross!

5:07 pm

MollyL

Actually Soodle, I find him quite charismatic. I hope he will be good for the church.

5:08 pm

Wolvie

soodle has the right idea. :-)

5:08 pm

gapeach

Hey y'all......I misspelled Dr. Wayne Dyer's name. I have been a fan of his forever. I have a live lecture 2 cd set, if anyone needs it, I will be glad to send it.

He certainly has a friendly, benign countenance. I don't know what his politics are. The Soodle Jury is out!

5:09 pm

MollyL

Um yeah, a Jewish Pope.

5:09 pm

gapeach

The lecture is on the Power of Intention.]

5:10 pm

MollyL

That is a good one Peach. I have heard excerpts from it.

5:10 pm

crosshair

lol,sorry got carried away there,molly

5:10 pm

Soodle

Hello (((Gape))))

5:10 pm

Jillyjill

The jillyjill jury out also, a little concerned at how quickly the decision was made and very concerned Ratzinger still in the game...

5:10 pm

gapeach

Would you like me to send it to you, Molly?

5:11 pm

gapeach

((((((SOODLE)))))))

5:11 pm

MollyL

Thank you Jill. I am concerned at how quickly it happened as well.

5:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly, i ccould not believe the olks most networks shipped over to do commentary.

5:11 pm

Soodle

Uncharted territory, Jilly!

5:11 pm

gapeach

How are you, dear Soodle.

5:11 pm

Wolvie

well, not going to give my 2 cents on the church, as i am certain it would offend some babblers. :-)

5:11 pm

MollyL

Yes, and they still botched the translation in several parts.

5:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

they had not a clue. i guess it is a slow news day, since they have covered it so heavily.

5:12 pm

gapeach

must eat now....bbl

5:12 pm

Jillyjill

clue for the tr7?

5:12 pm

ch1212

Jilly, I agree. My beloved studied in Roma and met Ratz before he became pontiff.

5:12 pm

Soodle

Hey Gapeach!!:-). :-) things ok ish here. And you,my dear?

5:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was getting ome pizza and the guys were clued to the tv, so i did get to see him

5:13 pm

ch1212

The new one is pegged as a theological conservative, so it's doubtful any big changes forthcoming.

5:13 pm

Jillyjill

Can't help, at my age, recalling what was said after Vatican II "It'll take 40 years to undo this."

5:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

the whispers in the loggia blogger calls him paparatzi. he is a scholar, that is the gist of it

5:14 pm

gapeach

I've been under the weather a bit., Soodle. Need your prayers please......need to find food.....bbl

5:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

well jully, there is a devotional group out of long island who claim there was a vision saying basically the same thing re the V2 changes

5:15 pm

ch1212

So no married priests then ... or at least, none officially.

5:16 pm

Soodle

Gapeach... My prayers ( for what they are worth) are with you, honey!

5:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

those olks scare the crap out of me, with their dire predictions if the changes are not undone.

5:17 pm

Jillyjill

We simply cannot return to pre-Vatican II. They'll find a large amount of American Catholics will leave the church.

5:17 pm

Jillyjill

Can I ask again for clue on tr7?

5:17 pm

cosdem

Just read Jorge was one of the more liberal cardinals voting. Thats scary considering hes a pretty strict social conservative

5:18 pm

Wolvie

jilly that is the word i am stuck on.

5:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

ii frankly have come to think of us as a breakaway sect a la the rothodox church.

5:18 pm

ch1212

Jilly, I have a growing sense that the RC Church is headed for another great schism.

5:18 pm

Jillyjill

;) nice to have company wolvie!

5:19 pm

About a million years ago, when I was in school, I challenged a priest with all my doubts etc... He just said to me,Mary, PTLA. Praise The Lord Anyway. Sincethen, thats what I've done, rightly or wrongly. Right now,with a very close family member unwell, I am still trying to praise the Lord. Its tricky

5:23 pm

She said she had been feeling under the weather.

5:23 pm

And Soodle, your prayers are worth a lot. Quit berating yourself.

5:23 pm

ch1212

So true, soodle. I rejoice in my faith, even as I struggle with my church.

5:24 pm

MollyL

There is nothing wrong with any religion. They all seek to know God. What is wrong is the people who "interpret" them.

5:25 pm

stidgmere

Hello all. The world turns. Hope springs and when there is a possibility, show love. That's all from the great Northwest where I got my hair cut today and the furniture got a nice polish.

I am actually starting Bible Class so I can interpret it eventually tomorrow.

5:26 pm

always remember,that faith is not limited to the walls of a perticular church or sect.what is the saying "whenever 2 or more are gathered in his name" , never feel constricted by a particular church.if you are unhappy,change it

Hey Jill. I had an interesting conversation/disagreement with a Non-Catholic today who did not believe me when I said that The Immaculate Conception has nothing to do with virgin birth.

5:41 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...or anything to do with Jesus' conception.

5:42 pm

Jillyjill

The church hubby and I were married in was the Immaculate Conception...

I think the Hindu's are into the do-over thing.

8:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:36 pm

Yes, that might be the way, wht.

8:37 pm

Anjelica needs to find a show she'd be a good fit in. She'd have been great as Cora.

8:54 pm

Minveryork

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?

Idol is done. The premise is over.

TO, it is actually pretty big news. I was texting with a co-worker in Sao Paolo just after it was announced. We had a good chat but I never got my work questions answered.

8:55 pm

lbdawger

tadone! finito

8:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

2 more stinking words and i WILL need clues.

8:56 pm

bookwomen

hello, I am tired of this grid too. still 36 left

8:56 pm

welki

have at it, owl - we're ready

8:56 pm

MollyL

A new Pope is huge news.

8:56 pm

wht

And to be fair, they were having to move pretty fast at that point.

8:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is, wht, but there are so many misconceptions and sterotypes perpetuated.

8:57 pm

wht

What surprised me was I saw the announcement on TV, went to my desk and the wikipedia article for the archbishop from Venezuela already had him listed as the new pope.

8:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

and fw and i bid you adieu.

8:58 pm

welki

i might have been less surprised at who was chosen if i knew more about the past process and where Pope Francis stood in the last papal election

i was hoping for a capuchin but a jesuit is just too much. rome ouldn't survive a capuchin!

8:59 pm

cosdem

wiki editors are fast to dot hat. they want their names on the page as last edited... dont get me started on wiki editors

8:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

i understand he and the former pope were the top contenders

8:59 pm

cosdem

According to unnamed sources, Francis came in 2nd in the 2005 conclave. about 40 votes behind ratzinger

9:00 pm

cosdem

as a child of italian parents living in argentia, it was probably a compromise choice.. an italian but not really.

9:00 pm

9:01 pm

LuwandaHL

could I please have a clue for ar6 and ar7

9:01 pm

welki

thanks, owl - 'see' you tomorrow

9:01 pm

wht

Well having a Pope who has taken a vow of poverty and appears to be serious about it will be an interesting cultural change for the Vatican.

9:02 pm

MollyL

And that part is being a little underplayed, Cos. That he is from a Latin American country but not really Latin American.

9:02 pm

welki

van gogh, matisse, rembrandt - and then their feminine counterpart

9:02 pm

cosdem

News calling him the first latino pope makes me laugh

9:02 pm

welki

for sure, wht

9:02 pm

cosdem

that, wht, is interesting to me. we'll see if it continues in the vatican

9:04 pm

Minveryork

Bye 72 Temple Owl! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

9:05 pm

MollyL

This will sound weird, but this man looks like a Pope to me. Ratzinger never did.

9:05 pm

Minveryork

Hello LuwandaHL!How are you doing? Welcome to chat log

9:05 pm

cosdem

I thought the same Molly

9:05 pm

MollyL

Maybe because I find Ratzinger scary looking.

9:05 pm

cosdem

Ratzinger looked pure evil.

9:06 pm

wht

Of course they wouldn't let him see the secret report on the scandals in the Vatican until he had already taken the job.

9:07 pm

cosdem

last sp5 please?

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

that was subdued? haha!

9:31 pm

MollyL

Hmm, I step away for a moment and when I come back, JMC is in the park with Mary Poppins and Bert flying a kite.

9:31 pm

well girls just want to have fun

9:32 pm

9:33 pm

tu + double consonant + open up and say **

9:33 pm

lilliann

mary poppins is one of my favoutites along with chitty chitty bang bang. probably because i grew up on those

9:33 pm

cosdem

JMC is feeling Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

9:33 pm

jmcnrick

i am more of a south pacific and showboat fan

9:33 pm

MollyL

*Bets a hundred bucks Cos copied and pasted that*

9:33 pm

cosdem

uh oh i broke the chat

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

hardly cosd

9:34 pm

lilliann

i do like south pacific, but i've never seen showboat. i love the king of i and the sound of music

9:36 pm

MollyL

Rogers and Hammerstein wrote the best musicals. No one seems to have been able to even come close since those two.

9:36 pm

lbdawger

Yeah, subdued. Jim is usually in the corner talking to himself, Jerry is usually cussing at the computer and growling for his wife to help him. Bob and Pat are usually cracking jokes and teasing each other, and Randy is usually working on an English paper. Yeah, we get a lot done in class! lol

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

showboat is wonderful. . .lots of racial issues like south pacific. . .and again without rose colored glasses. . . ol'man river alone is worth the price of the ticket

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

well at least they all looked at the kindle for a few minutes. . .which one was the guy who was hitting on me?

9:37 pm

lbdawger

Rogers and Hammerstein and Lerner and Lowe were amazing co-writers and creators of wonderful musicals. I love Showboat!

9:37 pm

MollyL

Ol'Man River is one of the best show tunes ever. But it MUST be done with the proper voice. I've heard horrible renditions of it.

9:38 pm

lbdawger

that was Pat!

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

trixie is jerry's wife?

9:38 pm

lilliann

i was brought up watching musicals as my mam loves them and when i was younger we lived in 15 minutes on a train away from london city and my parents would regularly take my brother and i to see musicals and plays

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

well i was happy to do it and to get to "meet" you as well

9:38 pm

lbdawger

yes, She's a nice lady, a bit domineering but that seems to work for them.

9:39 pm

MollyL

Brigadoon is my favorite Lerner and Lowe musical.

I didn't get to sp 5/12 a lot of time babbling today. I en 5/10ed Babbleland at 9:00 and st 5/10ed the grid. I sp 5/12 an hour finding words.Then I op4/5ed up the chat log to look for some more clues. I gave up after finding 153 words so here is a story of clues. Sh 4/5! My ir 5/10 hubby is hi 4/5ing at me to get off the laptop. He's such a br 4/6! So much for my story! I really wi 4/6 we had 2 computers. I am going to sh 4/6 down this game & give hubby laptop so he doesn't get ir 6/18. I am going to go watch the film Mr. Holland's Op 4/6. I will return to this websi 4/4 tomorrow. Goodnight to my fellow babblers!

9:40 pm

Shirlockc

at 16 years i was blue and sad, 'til pa said go out and get a lad ...

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

i never liked brigadoon but that is probably because i saw it with robert goulet who i thought was terribly overrated.

9:40 pm

MollyL

Lilliann, my Dad took me to musicals too. It's a great childhood memory.

9:40 pm

The best (and most critical) review I read of Les Miserables (the movie) began "It will be a good day when Hollywood finally gets over it's crush on Anne Hathaway..."

9:48 pm

lilliann

the film, was that nicole kidman?

9:48 pm

Pinikula

thankfully her part in the movie was short lived

9:48 pm

rururocks

nicole kidman is miss le miserable

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

if it were that would explain why it was no good. . . talk about overrated!

9:48 pm

Shirlockc

10:25 pm

MollyL

He scared the crap out of a lot of kids.

10:25 pm

Pinikula

...but the puppet and the music box were fun: What do you see? You people looking at me? Truly Scrumptious...

10:26 pm

MollyL

That reminds me of my kids, always closing their eyes at the "dead kid" part of Stand By Me.

10:26 pm

Pinikula

...and "Hushabye Mountain" to the kids in the caves.

10:26 pm

MollyL

I always wanted a Toot Sweet.

10:26 pm

lilliann

10:27 pm

Pinikula

and Gpa...

10:27 pm

Pinikula

10:27 pm

Pinikula

humming: Toot Sweet Toot Sweet

And (as usual) Nef, you are the good soul who made that happen. I'm sure it was a rare treat for your friend.

10:49 pm

lilliann

that's great for her and good for you too nef

10:51 pm

Nef

Molly, I love kids. I would have had 6 of my own if it would have been possible. My dau says she's never going to have any and my son and DIL say they won't have anymore (due to her psych problems). What's a person to do?????

10:51 pm

Pinikula

*back*

10:54 pm

Nef

Those kids call me "Gramma Jenny," but 3 1/2 yr old girl started calling me just plain old Gramma on Monday. She said "I know your really Gramma Jenny; but when it's just us I'm going to call you Gramma instead" My heart melted. :-)

10:54 pm

lilliann

i would have had atleast one other if i could have done.i'm just waiting for my daughter to get older so i can have grand bairns

10:54 pm

Pinikula

how sweet!!! :)

10:54 pm

MollyL

Awwww!

10:54 pm

lilliann

awww, that is so sweet nef

10:55 pm

lilliann

it just shows how much they care about you

10:55 pm

Nef

Their grandparents are all dead; and even if they were alive, they'd be half a world away. SO they "need" a Gramma!

10:56 pm

lilliann

my next door neighbours are like adopted grandparents to my bairn as my mam and dad don't get to see her much

10:56 pm

MollyL

That

10:56 pm

Pinikula

...and you "need" them, too, Nef! :)

10:56 pm

MollyL

That's it. I need to adopt some grandkids.

10:56 pm

lilliann

that is so sad but atleast they have you and you ahve them nef

10:56 pm

Nef

(and I got to play with dolls and color and water paint and make pipe cleaner dollys and, and, and>>>!)

10:57 pm

Pinikula

oh, Nef...you're just a kid at heart!! LOL

10:57 pm

Pinikula

(just like the rest of us....right?)

10:57 pm

lilliann

i miss doing all of that stuff now that my daughter is 13

10:58 pm

Nef

Yeah, Pini; but laying on the floor and getting up again isn't as easy as it used to be! :-)

10:58 pm

Pinikula

I hear ya there!

10:58 pm

MollyL

It's so boring when they get to be teenagers.

10:58 pm

lilliann

i use to have more fun playing with plastercene and making all sorts of things than my daughter

10:59 pm

Pinikula

gimme a box of legos or lincoln logs and I'll be a happy camper for hours!

10:59 pm

lilliann

isn't it just molly, plus their mouths run away with them

10:59 pm

Pinikula

or tinker toys even!

10:59 pm

lilliann

i love lego

10:59 pm

MollyL

Ooo, Tinker Toys.

11:00 pm

Nef

that depends, Molly. I was the car pool mom for after school activities for my kids and their friendsand up til they were old enough to drive; they thought I was cool

11:00 pm

MollyL

Oh I was too Nef. I drove a van full of kids everywhere until they all got to be driving age. My son's friends all call me Mom.

11:01 pm

Nef

I play Duplo with my grandson all the time. I guess he told his parents the other night that the reason he likes to come here is that I play with him all day.

11:01 pm

lilliann

i wish i could drive my daughter and her friends all over

11:02 pm

lilliann

and i loved mechano, my brother always got it and we'd build it together

11:02 pm

MollyL

I'm sure people were confused at my son's wedding when he and 12 of his friends kept calling me Mom. : D

11:02 pm

lilliann

saying that, mechano has certainly changed since we were bairns

11:02 pm

Nef

We fostered a friend of our daughters with us her junior year; a lot of daughter's friend still call me Mom.

11:03 pm

Nef

what's mechano, lilliann?

11:03 pm

lilliann

that is so nice though molly.it means that you were special to them

11:04 pm

MollyL

It's what we call Tinker Toys Nef.

11:04 pm

MollyL

No, erector sets.

11:04 pm

lilliann

that's great that you fostered nef.more foster parents need to be found throughout the world

11:05 pm

lilliann

it is metal and you put it together using nuts and bolts nef

11:05 pm

Nef

Oh! How has it changed, lillian? Ronnie is still a bit too young for them (he broke 2 long sticks trying to sword fight with the dog); but we have our son's set that he will usesomeday

11:06 pm

lilliann

actually, i spelt it wrong, it is meccano

11:06 pm

Nef

Oh! Erector sets! Yes; I haven't seen any since I was young (I'd wanted to get a set for our son when he was 10 or so but couldn't find it)

11:07 pm

Nef

BRB

11:08 pm

MollyL

<---Laughing at Nef's grandson sword fighting with the dog.

11:08 pm

lilliann

wel, the meccano sets or erector sets now are more up to date as in are battery operated when built and look more up to date as in planes ,cars etc

11:09 pm

Pinikula

(sorry...distracted for a few)

11:13 pm

Pinikula

my dau posted a vid on a Swiss Drum Corps...pretty impressive...I also saw a note that a cousin accepted my invite to view my tree on ancestry...hope he doesn't faint! LOL

11:13 pm

Nef

Molly, the dog bit the stick and broke it in half and when it happened the 2nd time, he nipped Ronnie and -- there's been no more sword fighting with dogs since then!

11:14 pm

Pinikula

thankfully, he didn't need "3rd time's a charm!"

11:14 pm

MollyL

Apparently the dog let someone know he is not to be messed with. : D

11:15 pm

Nef

I'm going to have to lok for some good erector sets in a couple of years then, lilliann. Thanks for the info!

11:15 pm

MollyL

Ebay is a treasure trove for stuff like that.

11:16 pm

Pinikula

can probably "make" one, too...from pieces at the hardward store :)

11:17 pm

Nef

The dog claims Ronnie as HIS; right from the start, he'd guard that child and has been with him every minute he's here. The dog is now 14 yrs old and tiny schitz-poo and thinks he's a puppy around kids.

11:18 pm

Pinikula

too cute!

11:18 pm

lilliann

yw nef,as molly says, ebay,amazon even other shops.i didn't realize how many different types of meccano were out there until last night when i was looking to buy something for my bairn's friend

11:18 pm

Pinikula

that's like my Koda...he "protects" me...guarding me by sitting my lap when I'm relaxing...

11:19 pm

RoundBarn

to thode of you talking abt erector sets: my brother inherited one from an older cousin in the early thirties--metal, nuts, bolts, a small motor--we all played with it. He's just died at 83, I need to write the family to watch out for the erecror set. It will be somewhere, he never threw away anything. They must be all modern, now, and not as creative.

11:19 pm

Nef

And he gives nips as necessary when Ronnie gets too rough. (He's never injured him or even left a mark; but it startles Ronnie enough that he stops whatever he's doing

11:20 pm

Pinikula

what a nice keepsake, roundbarn...keep it in the family for all the following children! :)

11:20 pm

lilliann

i definitely would round. that woul;d be a great thing to keep in the family and pass it down

11:21 pm

Nef

RoundBarn, that sounds wonderful! My older sister is the one who got the Erector set; the rest of us only got to play with it once she wasn't interested in it anymore

11:22 pm

RoundBarn

You could probaably find an old one on ebay. Our two sets of lincoln logs have disappeared. I should query the various families as to who has them.

11:22 pm

lilliann

but it may be that as it is that old that it is not as safe as todays kits so can't be played with but great to show and keep and may well be worth some money

11:23 pm

Pinikula

my parents kept my siblings' Fisher Price toys...looked for some replacement pieces on ebay...they should never get rid of them...they're worth some bank!

11:24 pm

lilliann

as now health and safety comes in alot.so what we played with when we were younger can now be hurtful to children

11:25 pm

cosdem

hello again

11:25 pm

RoundBarn

do have a cow drinking cup and a stanchion in my living room, and a nose leader and trocar (for bloat) and a dorn husking tool. Maybe I should open a museum.

11:25 pm

lilliann

they always say, if you buy one of something, but 2 and keep it in it's box as it is worth more, but we can't all afford to buy 2 of something

11:25 pm

MollyL

There is BIG money in vintage toys.

11:25 pm

Pinikula

sounds interesting, roundbarn (where are you from?)

11:25 pm

Pinikula

wb cos

11:25 pm

Nef

WOW! I just was on eBay checking for erector sets and there are lots of them; including some that look like my sisiters. :-) Thanks, guys!

11:25 pm

lilliann

wb cos

11:26 pm

MollyL

Told you Nef, it's a treasure trove. I have found some great stuff on Ebay. Most of it from years gone by.

11:26 pm

Nef

hi cos!

11:26 pm

lilliann

i haven't got a clue what you are talking about round :)

11:27 pm

MollyL

Sounds like antique farming stuff Lilliann.

11:27 pm

Pinikula

that's what I was thinking, molly

11:27 pm

lilliann

round, are these used for animals on farms/ranches?

11:30 pm

Pinikula

i think we lost him/her

11:30 pm

RoundBarn

pinikula I'm from southern wisconsin we had the 2nd artificial breeding co-0p in the country, 3 months after NJ

11:31 pm

cosdem

i like to buy toys from the 80s on ebay :)

11:31 pm

Pinikula

gotcha...makes a bit more sense now...so, your museum would be a tribute to old farming gear?

11:32 pm

Nef

I know what they are and they are used on farm animals (I was giving DH his shot when Round Barn posted) . A trocar was used for bloat on cows; but we use trocars to insert chest tubes on pts. who develop pneumothoraxes too

11:32 pm

lilliann

sorry round, i'm from england so i don't quite understand what your'e talking about.i take it your from a ranch? bulls? can you tell me what those things you said about earlier are used for as i'm interested

11:32 pm

MollyL

Cos, isn't it amazing how many people have the originals, still in their boxes? I think Lilliann is right. People buy two and save one.

11:33 pm

Nef

With the name Round Barn I wondered if you were from southern MN or that area

11:33 pm

lilliann

oh ok ty nef

11:33 pm

MollyL

Isn't the word trocar in grids sometimes?

11:33 pm

RoundBarn

I'm new here, I forgot to enter. Yes, farm stuff--did you know that all the advances for women--dirth control, in vitro, fri osen semen, came from cow research? (See, I'm shpwong you how interesting my book is--see roundbarnstories.com)

11:33 pm

Nef

yep

11:34 pm

lilliann

yes i think it is molly.

11:34 pm

lilliann

actually it was in just recently i think

11:34 pm

Pinikula

nice segway, RoundBarn! :)

11:34 pm

MollyL

Although I have no clue what "bloat on cows" is.

11:35 pm

torgone

I think it's like "press on nails" ..

11:35 pm

Nef

cows eat alfalfa and they get a lot of gas in their rumen stomachs

11:35 pm

lilliann

i didn't know that round.i will go and have a look late as it is nearly dawn here and i should go to bed

11:36 pm

lilliann

and cows have 3 stomachs

11:36 pm

Nef

they poke a trocar into their side and let the air out

11:37 pm

MollyL

Oh gross, it lets out cow gas.

11:37 pm

Nef

is it 3 or 4 stomachs? (I can't remember; I was a "townie" girl)

11:37 pm

RoundBarn

nef, my first cousin is adr in Mnpls. He played in the round barn with us all. Bloat is what cows get when they can't burp--I have a whole chapter about bloat in my book--you need to puncture them fast or they die. If you get to them soon enough you can put a hose down their throat. Cows can burp and not fart, horses can fart and not burp. Maybe you don't want me on chat.

11:37 pm

lilliann

well as long as you're not too near you'll be alright molly :)

11:37 pm

MollyL

Hi Tor : D

11:37 pm

Pinikula

You're a wealth of information, RB...welcome to the Grid!!! LOL

11:38 pm

lilliann

omg, round, that is really interesting about the farting and burping. i never knew

11:38 pm

MollyL

Kind of hard not to be near when you are piercing the cow Lilliann. Nasty job.

11:38 pm

RoundBarn

it's four stomachs. I tell it in my story when I travel with the vet at 12. lilliann, my first child was born in England. Dual citizen.

11:38 pm

Nef

LOL! This is better than talking about chin hairs in "women of a certain age", RoundBarn! :-)

11:39 pm

Pinikula

touche', Nef!

11:39 pm

lilliann

mm, not good molly

11:39 pm

MollyL

Cows can't fart, who knew?

11:40 pm

Nef

I think that most people would poke a hole to get rid of the gas rather than have a huge cow worth lots of $$$ die.

11:40 pm

MollyL

All those stomachs to digest and no way to alleviate the gas. Seems like a defect in the "making process".

11:41 pm

lilliann

4 stomachs round? i always thought it was 3 off tv programmes and my hubby as he worked on a farm when he was younger.one is enough, nevermind four

11:41 pm

lilliann

i definitely have to read your book round

11:41 pm

MollyL

I wouldn't want to be the one who has to ram a hose down a cow's throat either. Not fun.

11:42 pm

cosdem

wow. not sure if I want to know :)

11:42 pm

Nef

they usually don't get gas unless they get into something very different to eat.

11:42 pm

RoundBarn

Yes, the lord seems to have made a mistake, doubling the stomachs. Like our useless appendix. God probably said, "oh oh."

11:42 pm

lilliann

it's not good putting your arm up the back end end either to see if thery are pregnant or not molly

11:42 pm

maggiej

tr 7/28?

11:43 pm

MollyL

So, no refried beans for cows. Got it.

11:43 pm

Nef

(my sister is a vet up in NW Minnesota. She loves her job as much as I love mine)

11:43 pm

RoundBarn

Nef, you know a whole lot. They shouldn't eat new, fresh growing grass in the spring except in moderation.

11:43 pm

Pinikula

sorry, no clue, maggiej

11:44 pm

RoundBarn

Can I come see you when I get to Mlps in June?

11:44 pm

maggiej

np

11:44 pm

MollyL

tr7...prefix for three + movie - ****shank Redemption

11:44 pm

lilliann

tr7, triple george bernard, or tr

11:44 pm

Nef

sure, RoundBarn!

11:45 pm

Pinikula

thx molly and lilliann!

11:45 pm

maggiej

tyvm

11:45 pm

lilliann

better clue molly

11:45 pm

MollyL

And Lilliann, thank you (not) for that graphic description of "cow checking".

11:45 pm

Nef

We call that a meet-up (in Babble terms)

11:45 pm

Pinikula

we've reduced chat from musicals to cow gas....will wonders never cease! ROFL

11:46 pm

MollyL

Cows must be really grumpy with all that poking and prodding and ramming.

11:46 pm

MollyL

Not to mention the bulls doing their business.

11:46 pm

lilliann

by the way as i shorten names and i might upset people doing this as i seem to upset alot lately including my visiting parents but can people call me lil or lilli as it makes me think i'm in trouble and getting told off wehen people say the whole name, even though that is not my real name :)

11:47 pm

lilliann

well, it wasn't that graphic molly, i could be more so :)

11:47 pm

MollyL

Okay L.

11:47 pm

RoundBarn

Sorry, I hadn't finished talking to Nef. Oh, she got it. I lived there for a while a couple years ago. Lng story. Wonderful cousins. I like how so many of the Mlps buildings are painted--all sorts of murals. Our town could take a lesson but we seem to learn little, keep getting in expensive commitees to tell us what to do and then we don't do it. We are Lincoln's home town. I'm halfway through Team of Rivals. It is riveting.

11:47 pm

Pinikula

I know what you mean, lil!

11:47 pm

Nef

LOL, lilli! Will do! :-)

11:47 pm

lilliann

i must admit i wouldn't want to be a cow or the person with their arm up to their elbow molly :) lol

11:48 pm

MollyL

L, have you forgotten what childbirth is like? : D

11:48 pm

Nef

Don't worry, lil and Molly. Vets have very LONG gloves!

11:49 pm

lilliann

l is fine too, no need for capitals, takes too much energy to press the caps lock down :)

11:49 pm

Uneaixoise

OMG it's gonna be Rafa and Federer tomorrow in the quarterfinals!!!!!!!!!

11:49 pm

Uneaixoise

sooooo exciting!!!!!

11:50 pm

Pinikula

hi une...and gl to them!

11:50 pm

Nef

Actually, Round, we live in an older north suburb of St. Paul (not too far from the State Fair ground

11:50 pm

MollyL

Look, I don't abbreviate. I am only doing that for you. Don't ask me to type in lower case. It's against my thing for proper writing.

11:50 pm

Uneaixoise

hey pini!

11:50 pm

MollyL

Une, did you design today's grid? Pups and pee are both in it. : D

11:50 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL

11:51 pm

Nef

hi Une! That's exciting!

11:51 pm

Pinikula

egads, I didn't have the baby doggies!!!! (only 87 more to go)

11:51 pm

lilliann

i certainly haven't molly, i ended up having a consultant with his arm up inside me trying to get the placenta that was stuck inside of me out and midwives looking on and all the theatre staff and all i wanted to do after 25 hours of labour was to sleep but also hold my daughter

11:52 pm

Nef

(only 201 left for me now, Pini. Want to race? ;-)

11:52 pm

lilliann

oh, alright then molly.i'll let you off :0

11:52 pm

Pinikula

*cough* not a chance, Nef!!!!

11:52 pm

MollyL

I love how you folks across the pond call an operating room a theatre. It's like there is a little performance going on in there. : D

11:52 pm

Pinikula

<-- afraid I'd lose!! LOL

11:53 pm

lilliann

well there was that morning :0

11:53 pm

rururocks

i'll race,,

11:53 pm

Pinikula

it used to be that way, Molly...

11:53 pm

Nef

LOL! Not a chance, Pini! :-D

11:53 pm

Pinikula

Are you done, ru?

11:53 pm

Nef

ruru; I bet you're done already; right?

11:54 pm

lilliann

so is it an operating room in the U.S then molly?

11:54 pm

rururocks

:D

11:54 pm

rururocks

:D

11:54 pm

Pinikula

GMTA, eh, Nef? :)

11:54 pm

MollyL

Yes, a theater is where we go to see shows.

11:54 pm

Nef

yep, lil

11:54 pm

Nef

true, Pini.

11:54 pm

Pinikula

yes, lil...no audiences anymore

11:55 pm

MollyL

Oh there are still audiences. But they are med students or interns.

11:55 pm

lilliann

i must admit, it would have been great if i could have seen loads of my favourite shows perform infront of me whilst some man's arm ws deep inside of my stomach :)

11:55 pm

cosdem

junior mints anyone? (seinfeld reference)

11:56 pm

Uneaixoise

cos LOLOL

11:56 pm

Pinikula

true, Molly, but not as many as there used to be

11:56 pm

MollyL

Speaking of mint, if you have not had Edy's Limited Edtion Mint Cookie Ice Cream, GO BUY SOME RIGHT NOW. It is amazing.

11:56 pm

Uneaixoise

sounds fab

11:57 pm

rururocks

<--- doesn't need any further investigations of limited edition ice cream

11:58 pm

Pinikula

I think I'm going through withdrawals...haven't had chocolate in 3 days!!!

11:58 pm

rururocks

<--- more ice cream and my ass has its own area code

11:58 pm

lilliann

i bought a cake pop maker last week and the bairn and i have had so much fun using it....sorry, nowt to do with ice cream

11:58 pm

MollyL

*Waves a fan over Pini*

11:58 pm

torgone

Going to buy some ice cream right now ..

11:59 pm

RoundBarn

nobody commented on how all advances for women came thru cow research--maybe I didn't get it posted. I'll shut up abt cows and get back to taxes unless called back by popular demand some day. You haven't heard about garget and heel worm and lotsa things yet. Many of my stories are sweet---

11:59 pm

cosdem

*faints* MOllys still here?

12:00 am

Pinikula

keep going, RB....after the flip!
