grannyrose

*giving husband evil look* he expects me to'meander 'down to mother macs rooms and pick out her clothes for rehab....and this is after 2 shifts from hell, where i can barely get out of the car when i get home!!! finished one at 9:30pm last night, back at 7:30 this AM. brb *sigh*

4:08 am

ChrissieDee

{{{rose}}}

4:22 am

grannyrose

hey chrissie!! do so hope you have strong shoulders to weep on....i feel so "used".

4:23 am

ChrissieDee

lol, ...offering broad shoulder..

4:23 am

ChrissieDee

I can see you smiling through the tears though

4:25 am

grannyrose

well i did it, hun. went down, picked out mother macs clothes, and as he was leaving remembered to ask about the fresh fruit supply...oh, she still has a mandarine and 2 plums....and by the way...kiwi fruit are giving her indigestion.....arrrggghhh!

4:26 am

grannyrose

chrissie, thank heavens for friends like you.....hope i haven't left your shoulder too wet

4:26 am

ChrissieDee

Withhold the fresh fruit, they might keep her a little longer. (evil grin)

4:27 am

grannyrose

lol....that's the first laugh in a totally evil day....

4:27 am

ChrissieDee

How's your own mum?

4:31 am

grannyrose

good grief chrissie, where do i start? she is so over the top....yesterday morning, you may recollect, she demanded her children to be present at a 8am meeting....then in the midst of all the facts and figures spewed out by the nursing home administrator, she laughed and rubbed her hands together, and said...i'm such an expensive little old lady to keep, aren''t i....it was my bros and i could do, not to laugh out loud at her obvious self-importance....and the administrator's eye-brows disappeared into her hair-line.

4:34 am

ChrissieDee

Wow, how do you cope with an attitude like that. Serve her right if you'd all walked out, though I do know you wouldn't do that

4:34 am

Alexis Elise

Wow! I can't help but overhear...

4:35 am

grannyrose

*grin* chrissie, google the term destructive narcissistic parent...my bros and i have been thru intensive counselling...and we are out on the other side.

4:38 am

grannyrose

pro aboput the meeting? she has decided on her own accord to go into permanent full-time care. none of us kids really want anything to do with her. it is only a sense of obligation laid on us by our deceased father which keeps us attending to her needs.

4:40 am

grannyrose

it's quite sad, really. aged parents deserve full care and attention by their kids....but my mum?....hand me the tontine pillow.

4:41 am

ChrissieDee

Just had a wikipedia quick read. Sounds horrendous rose. You've obviously broke the cycle. Glad she has made that decision, will save you doing jail time ;)

4:42 am

grannyrose

LOLOL, you don't realise how loudly, chrissie...i think the cops would call it justifiable homicide

4:45 am

Alexis Elise

I hope I'm not being nosy here... but it's in chat so I looked it up. I've never heard of that. I can not imagine.

4:46 am

grannyrose

alexis...it's not a widely recognised diagnosis....YET!!!

4:47 am

Alexis Elise

It's very interesting (probably not for you)...

4:48 am

ivesy3

my mother compalins about being lonely. she wants someone there 24/7 entertaining her.. funny thing is she lives in an apart. attached to my brothers house. bad of me, but i dont get along with her. too many childhood memories, too many things she said to me. i force myself once in while to see her, but im a very bad daughter

4:49 am

Alexis Elise

It actually sounds like my brother. He is unjustifiably narcissistic... it's very extreme

4:56 am

grannyrose

ives, there is a great book if you can find it...it's called..children of the self-absorbed...sub-title...a grownups

4:57 am

ivesy3

sounds like my mother.. ty granny will see if i can find it.

4:57 am

grannyrose

agghh, sub-titled...a grownup's guide to getting ove narcissistic parents...written by nina w brown

4:58 am

grannyrose

ivesy, you are not the bad daughter....she is the bad parent. once you read the book, you will be amazed.

4:59 am

Alexis Elise

I'm going to find that book and send it to my friend

4:59 am

grannyrose

and that is "to getting over narcissistic parents"

5:00 am

Alexis Elise

Reminds me of Joan Crawford. She only found her children useful when they were very little and brought her attention

5:03 am

ivesy3

found it on amazon, and also our library system. going to order it from library. then may buy it.ty grannyrose

5:03 am

ChrissieDee

ty rose, this information sounds useful for someone really close to me, will pass it on

5:04 am

grannyrose

good-luck, ives. i really hope you find it useful

5:04 am

ivesy3

i remember first being divorced. son and i had very little money or food. she wouldnt lift a finger. ws mad cuz i left hubby. i nver got over it . she told me. thats the way you wanted it.

5:05 am

grannyrose

yay, chrissie. it's not something one readily talks about. you feel as if you are worthless. it is only because of this book i can speak out.

5:07 am

grannyrose

ives, my mum spent mo4 of my first marriage telling me how my hubby was such a so-and-so, then once i had divorced him, had the audacity to tell me, it was all my fault.

5:07 am

ivesy3

sounds like they may be related !

5:07 am

ivesy3

speaking of parents, this one has to go pik up son to take to bus ... it never stops.. my mantra.. "one freaking day of peace"

5:08 am

grannyrose

probably are...do you have a thomas burton ward in your family history?

5:09 am

ivesy3

not that i know of. but be interesting to check it out

5:09 am

grannyrose

lol, ives...we may be related after all

5:11 am

ivesy3

bbl. have good day/nite all.. and dont let the mothers get us down lollol.(anyway u say that sounds just like i meant it)

5:11 am

grannyrose

9:55 am

crosshair

when we first started babble,roundbarn,we used to get angry and the omissions in enable,now we are fond of it,much in the way you are fond of a handicapped pet in that it cannot do everything a regular pet can do,but you love it just the same

9:55 am

Sorry, te6

9:56 am

reminds me,Mr King is supposed to have two new ones coming,one about a haunted carnival and one that is a part deux to the shining..will have to see how he is coming along with them

9:57 am

RoundBarn

I will learn to love it. I used to play srabble with my cousin in cornwall, she used an oudated british scrabble dictionary and wouldn'ty let me use yob or yobbo. Wonder if the new scr dict has those words.

9:57 am

Judi

I started to watch that movie once, Molly. It was so awful, I had to turn it off. I think the only Stephen King adaptations that worked on film were, Christine (and that's a stretch), "It" and "The Stand". Everything else was pretty much rubbish.

9:58 am

pippingeek

i have a good riddle about the te6

9:58 am

pippingeek

what starts with T, ends with T, and is full of T

9:59 am

we used to have a rule when playing scrabble at other peoples homes in that if it was not in any book that was in the house and it was challenged,it did not exist

9:59 am

Erda

Yes it does, RoundBarn

10:00 am

RoundBarn

Gotta get to work--at what I'm paying my helper I can't indulge any more, we have different words to deal with. I gusee the babble word is poof? for now.

I would add "Stand By Me" and "The Shawshank Redemption"

10:00 am

crosshair

the green mile was also very good

10:00 am

MollyL

Oops, yes, "The Green Mile" too.

10:00 am

Judi

Okay. I have to agree, Molly. Forgot about those. I loved "Shawshank". Movie was better than the short story.

10:01 am

Judi

Didn't realize Green Mile was a King thing. I stopped reading him years ago.

10:02 am

crosshair

i bought the green mile when it first came out in those chapter books.silly me.ended paying over 60 dollars for the entire thing and the year after that the released it as a single book

10:02 am

Gotta scoot. There's more coffee to be had. *POOF*

10:09 am

hootowl

Judi - I don't even remember which King it was; but the first sentence was a nasty description and I never finished it and never tried to read him again!

10:09 am

crosshair

10:09 am

crosshair

lol,hoots,if you are sensitive in any way,do not read stephen king

10:10 am

hootowl

I think he is an egomaniac of the finest water!

10:11 am

crosshair

you have to reseach him a bit.his short story 'last rung on the ladder' is amazing and there is not a single swear word,ghost or goulie in it same goes for quitter incc and the ledge

10:11 am

hootowl

I also think he is sick! I have read many books with killigs of one kind or another and not been bothered. But he seems to enjoy describing every form of nastiness and I will not waste my money or my nerves on him!

10:17 am

mkg

10:18 am

mkg

autobiographies are the brag books. skip those.

10:18 am

crosshair

however,hoots there is tons of good SF out there

10:18 am

mkg

10:20 am

mkg

10:21 am

hootowl

mkg - I have a used book store on speed dial! Part of the problem is where I live. VERY hard to get scifi and old stuff here. They are VERY straitlaced in public. The libray has one row pd scifi in the young adult section. That's why i mail order. But harder and hard to get decent stuff from them either. I HATE 12-15 book series!

10:21 am

mkg

ty for clue. wish iwere smarter

10:21 am

crosshair

if you like sf,hoots go with the old masters.enders game,the cold equasions,flowers for algernon,almost anything by isaac asimov

10:21 am

crosshair

robert silverberg

10:22 am

mkg

crosshair

the liveship seies

10:22 am

crosshair

ok,crossy will shut up about books then

10:22 am

10:23 am

mklein

Try abe.com for an amazing selection of books, reasonably priced.

10:23 am

mkg

by the way, if you havent seen it do see the movie "the intouchables" which is based on true story and in the end you see the real people. it is not only funny but really amazing and happy ending.

10:24 am

mkg

also see searching for sugarman, another movie. it is documentary and AMAZING. you couldnt make this up it is so unbelievable.

10:24 am

hootowl

Crossy - I HAVE read all of those! I am not a kid. Been reading scifi since the 60's. I OWn most of those books. The problem is the new stuff that is more violent and seems to have no end!

10:25 am

mkg

ty for u words. got both. any more seven letter clues?

10:25 am

mkg

hoot, switch genre's. bios are the way to go. reality is better than fiction...............what people have gone through is incredible.

10:26 am

stevedallas

10:26 am

10:26 am

mkg

10:27 am

My granddaugher - aged 5 - was telling me about her ballet class. She said 'we point our toes, we skip, we turn round, we bend down and we all 'parp'!!! I said I am sure you don't. She said 'yes we do, Nana'!!!

Cant watch any TV tonight - it will be all Margaret Thatchers funeral. I really don't know what the woman did to deserve the pomp and circumstance she got

12:10 pm

Deeha

It cost Â£10 million too

12:30 pm

dcseain

My time in Boston makes me want to enter smoot as a unit of measure. Alas, not in the general lexicon.

12:30 pm

dcseain

good afternoon/evening, yall.

12:30 pm

dcseain

And Deeha, i'm not a fan of hers, though her impact did warrant a state funeral, though that cost seems exorbitant.

12:31 pm

uusue2

I've tried to enter smoot too, it certainly wouldn't be the silliest unit of measure I've seen in here. I didn't notice it was in today's grid, though

12:32 pm

dcseain

agreed re not the silliest unit of measure, sue :)

12:35 pm

4:17 pm

periwinkle

good for you. I have been kind of lazy lately

4:17 pm

4:22 pm

pippingeek

okay, oo4 is not in the dictionary, what does it mean?

4:22 pm

MollyL

The press are such idiots. Two major news sources reported a suspect had been arrested in connection with the Boston bombings, when in fact, no one has.

4:23 pm

pippingeek

i just keep praying it's a white guy so it doesn't turn into a racist witch hunt

4:23 pm

MollyL

No clue about oo4. It's one of those made up Babble words.

Marc Freeman

lynxxx there no 'r' or an 'm' that is connected

4:55 pm

4:58 pm

lynxxx

4:58 pm

Marc Freeman

Jilly are sure the **re clue is correct?

4:59 pm

Marc Freeman

I don't see how the 'm' connects

lynxxx

5:09 pm

lynxxx

I am guessing that you ARE talking about flowers pipping

5:10 pm

pippingeek

yes, that is what the ip7 means

5:10 pm

Jillyjill

Ok, 25 to go...must head out for now to get a few things done...bbl to finish

5:10 pm

lynxxx

quite a different meaning over here

5:10 pm

8:17 pm

MollyL

Pardon me, I am abbreviation impaired. : D

8:18 pm

pippingeek

it's all good, it's a new york thing

8:25 pm

MollyL

We had a little debate at work today about whether or not text speak and internet abbreviations and made up words (da for the) are ruining the English language.

8:28 pm

pippingeek

da is annoying to me

8:28 pm

pippingeek

and i've been known to use words like truedat and tryna, but da just seems lazy

8:34 pm

MollyL

I'm just one of those people who has never gotten into it all. I have such great love for words.

8:34 pm

crosshair

not any more than can't and don't etc instead of can not and will not it is language envolution.read David Copperfield sometime and it is amazing what the language once was and how it evolves in just a century or so

8:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

da is so slangy. like randy jackson made up no one really hip would use it slangy

8:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's da bomb

8:35 pm

crosshair

da shizzle

8:36 pm

crosshair

true dat

8:37 pm

MollyL

I find it kind of amusing when kids develop a phrase like it's da bomb and old farts start using it, trying to be hip.
: P

8:39 pm

pippingeek

except "the bomb" is seriously so old, like i knew people saying that in 1996, and most of those kids weren't even born yet. hahaha

8:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey dawg, who you callin an old fart?:P

8:39 pm

pippingeek

i prefer my slang from the 70s, i like to say "right on" to 20 year-olds and watch them not really know what to do with it

8:41 pm

MollyL

It always makes me laugh when I read comments on the internet from people I know are old grannies and they say "you rock". : D

8:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

you got that right, pip. so i don't know about da being textspeak - only lose one letter, hardly worth it!
