wtg melon (I just got it too)
1:02 am
jillibus
clever clue is easy, though -- es + automobile
1:02 am
melonheadjujube
which led to es7, which sounds like a countrified accompanying...
1:03 am
melonheadjujube
"S automobile, driven by Theodore"
1:03 am
melonheadjujube
that's the es7
1:03 am
jillibus
but there is no es7 here
1:04 am
melonheadjujube

Glantarell
morning ursh
1:55 am
Kazzer99
it was really stupid - i was leaving my mums's and she has quite a high step out of the house - some how as i fell i managed to twist thru 90 degrees and landed with a whump acroos the end of my mums front door step which is made of concrete and caught my ribs just below my boobs - went hospital - didnt even xray as treatment is the same for bruised - cracked or broken - painkillers and deep breathing exercises - got to do some of them soon
1:56 am
Kazzer99
also my right knee is killing me this morning
1:56 am
Glantarell
ouch, hope it stops hurting soon
1:57 am

very ouchy kazzer - and all sorts of other bumps will show themselves today
1:57 am
Glantarell

hiya pug :)
3:33 am
sprite
how are you today?
3:34 am
puglet
Im great! How about yourself?
3:35 am
sprite
am good :) An almost free day ahead, looking forward to do it all in a relaxed way today.
3:36 am
puglet
Thats nice--Hope its as you wish it to be
3:36 am
sprite
we will see... no guarantees in a life with 2 teenager children, right? But they are a blessing too.
3:38 am
puglet
Ive got friends camping at our small campgrounds for the week-end---so we plan on eating outside---Plus I got my great nephew staying as well--Hes going home sometime today
3:38 am
sprite
oh that sounds good :)
3:41 am
puglet
Its nice---But Iam really worried about my nephew(hes 7). He has to spend half his summer with his mom and hes been crying for the 2 days Ive had him so far not wanting to go there.Its sad a little boy dont want to be with his mom and I dont know what to do to help him
3:43 am
sprite
oh dear... that IS sad. Could it be he is crying because the whole situation is confusing for him? Going to his mother meaning he has to leave his dad, and the other way around?
3:47 am
puglet
His mother(which is my neice) I hate to say is not the best mother.She has 3 boys each by a different man. Gradyn(the 7 year old) is the oldest. And he likes to see her but not stay with her. He got in my lap last night and crying says "nanny I dont think I can take a month staying at mommy's) Its the court thats set these rules. I just dont know what to tell him to ease his stress over the mess
3:49 am
puglet
It breaks my heart---I dont think a little boy should feel like that towards a parent
3:49 am
sprite
that is heartrending.
3:50 am
sprite
maybe you can give him a simple mobile and tell him he can call you whenever he needs you? So at least he won't feel alone in this?
3:54 am
puglet
This neice and I were very close at one time. After she had Gradyn at age 16 she just completely changed. The men were number 1 . Then the kids. I had to go to court for Gradyn's father to help him get the boy. It was awful having to do that against my neice. But the boy had no one to stand up for him and I felt I had to do what was right
3:55 am
sprite
he is lucky to have you, pug.
3:55 am
puglet
now she dosent want anything to do with me.I just felt I didnt have a choice here. He was going to start school and in 5 years he never had his own bed until he went to his dads
3:56 am
sprite
he never had his own bed? Then where did he sleep??
3:56 am
puglet
Im sorry Sprite to be putting a damper on your day. Iam just upset about the little guy
3:57 am
puglet
either with her and her fellows or couch or floor
3:57 am
sprite
hey I can feel how you worry. You are not putting a damper on my day, and I am here for you. We babblers do, you know.
3:58 am
sprite
omg that is so wrong. You had to step in there, you really didn't have a choice. Sorry your niece feels you betrayed her, but you really had to speak up for the boy.
3:58 am
puglet
Thank you and Im so thankful and glad for this
3:59 am
sprite
wish I could do something to help. I have been in the little guy's position, more or less. What I am thinking about now is how to make that month bearable for him.
4:00 am
puglet
I prayed about that long before we went to court and I just told the truth about the whole matter. He just left 1st grade friday with several awards and he made all A's--Iam not sorry about doing what I had too
4:02 am
puglet
yeah me too. She wont let any of have anything to do with him as long as she has him.Wont let him talk to his dad--But I told him if it gets too bad to go to my sister and she will call his dad
4:02 am
sprite
some ideas: make a calendar with him for crossing off the days? That mobile could be a lifeline for him? Tell him you take his concerns very seriously, that you can't change what the court decided but that you are there for him, that he can talk freely to you etc?
4:03 am
sprite
jeezz his mother is really hurting him to spite you all... what a sad thing. So wrong to isolate him. Small wonder he feels he can't do this. He needs some sort of supporting contact while he is with her.
4:05 am
puglet
Once he is 12 he dosent have to go to her.He asked me friday why he cant say no at 7. He wont talk much about what goes on staying with her. But it cant be very good if he is so stress about having to go
4:07 am
puglet
I can see how he might be pushed to doing something terrible to get out of the mess. Going to my sisters for help while there is all I know to tell him.She lives about 2 blocks from her
4:07 am
sprite
can you encourage him to tell you? If it is bad, might it be possible to reapply to the court to change their decision? Protecting the children should be their first goal, I'd say. From 7 to 12 is way too long for a boy his age.
4:08 am
sprite
that is wonderful. That is at least a lifeline.
4:09 am
sprite
and I can't help wondering what makes his mother the way she is. Sounds like such low self esteem :(
4:10 am
puglet
the only thing he has repeated is that his younger brother is mean to him and mommy lets him but gets mad at him if he stands up for himself. I got to think theres much more than that for him to hate going so bad
4:11 am
sprite
am with you there. Top of the iceberg, probably, what he says about it.
4:12 am
puglet
Sprite, My neice was raised up in the church and she is a beautiful girl with an ugly attitude and it started after she went into her teenage years
4:14 am
puglet
the whole mess is a such a long story---Gradyn has been through so much--its just so sad
4:14 am
sprite
how awful, puglet :( Must be hard to watch her hurting herself and her children.
4:15 am
puglet
I think the court should lissen more to the childern
4:15 am
sprite
amen to that
4:16 am
puglet
Thank You Sprite for letting me shake out this dirty laundry--lol
4:16 am
sprite
am still thinking about either a mobile, but that would be hard to hide, or a beeper maybe? Anything that will give him the feeling someone is with him?
4:17 am
Lindrickway
Puglet, he is very lucky to have you, someone who cares so much for him and is willing to fight for him
4:17 am
puglet
I will bring that up to his dad
4:17 am
sprite
puglet, no problem at all, I feel honored you share it with me. Wish I could help more.
4:18 am
sprite
hi Lindrick, indeed
4:18 am
puglet
Thank you Lin--It was hard for me to testifie against my neice
4:19 am
Lindrickway
Hi guys, sometimes in life we have to do things that we don't want to in order to help someone needy
4:19 am
puglet
sometimes doing whats right isnt always to easiest way
4:19 am
Lindrickway

4:19 am
puglet

4:19 am

big hug to you too
4:26 am
rubyfoo
What a story, pug, but mybe the court wil listen if you have more info. It doesn't sound like Gravyn should ever have to share a bed wityh his mother or with her boyfriends!
4:26 am
Lindrickway
Well off to start my day, hugs to all xx
4:26 am
rubyfoo
It is Lucky that your sister is nearby
4:27 am
puglet
bye Lin have a wonderful day
4:27 am
rubyfoo
Gradyn, sorry my typing is awful because my hands are so cold (poor excuse)
4:28 am
puglet
She has been to court several times over her kids
4:28 am
rubyfoo
Sprite, is it still so cold there? I don't think it's been above 8C in days and is around 6 at night. At least it isn't raining -- yet!
4:28 am
sprite
that alone should tell the judge something, sigh
4:28 am
rubyfoo
that's 50F and 40F, puglet
4:29 am
puglet
well you would think so--but it must not
4:29 am
sprite
yes! Very cold. I am sitting here in my winterclothes with a warm comforter around me
4:29 am
rubyfoo
Yesterday's lunch, without nasty husband, went very well as I ran into a neighbor en route, and invited her to join me, so I didn't have to eat alone. I let Burt stew on his own.....
4:29 am
puglet
its pretty cool here too for this time of the year(its in the high 40's)
4:30 am
sprite
one thing is certain, pug, it makes all the difference that you are there for him. I can speak from experience. Knowing someone is in your corner is so very important!
4:30 am
puglet
Good for you Ruby! Glad it worked out so well for you
4:31 am
puglet
Thank you Sprite--not much you can do when the court is there to fight too
4:31 am
sprite
glad you had a good time, ruby
4:32 am
rubyfoo
it was better than eating alone, that's for sure
4:32 am

*hugs pug*
4:32 am
puglet
Thanks!Sprite
4:33 am
puglet
You havent messed with the fire yet have you Ruby? lol
4:33 am
rubyfoo
that is a very bad story, pug, but, as Wise Sprite said, it is great that you re there. Maybe if Graadyn has a phone that vibrates rather than rings.....
4:35 am
puglet
I know there are thousands of poor kids out there with the same story or worse and its a darn shame our world has to be as such
4:36 am
sprite
*giggles at wise sprite* Not so wise, but I do really care for my babble friends. And I feel bad for Gradyn.
4:37 am

the weather is really off here. It kept freezing well into april, and now it is May, almost June, and we should be able to eat outdoors, sit in the sun, the whole enchilada. But no joy.

hi Kazz, happy to see you. Breakfast sounds good! But sorry to hear you have so much pain.

thanks Pug - just been reading about your nephew - such a shame - is there anyway you could give a cheap cell phone so he can stay in touch whilst he's away?
4:46 am
Kazzer99
well if i hadnt decided it was a good idea to lift both feet of the ground at the same time and then get one stuck on the door way i wouldnt have the busted ribs and bad knee!!
4:47 am
sprite
love it how we all come to the same conclusion... that boy needs a way to communicate with you during his stay. I hope his father and you can come up with something that will work.
4:48 am
sprite
hehehe Kazz, yeah. But it could have ended a lot better, or worse. Shit happens. Apparently it was your turn to have a bit of bad luck :(
4:49 am
Kazzer99
but it is typical - I was just about to start a class in the gym - stretch and tone and i have actually paid for it! but never mind - I will speak with the lovely Claire and she will let me know when i can actually start

5:08 am

the hiccup ate my other post. I feel so sad about your Gradyn, puglet. I hope you and his dad can come up with something, anything, that might work. A preprogrammed cell phone in a stuffed animal maybe.

My German shepherd was the best dog I can imagine and incredibly smart...a 100-lb. lap dog. When I came home from the hospital after nearly dying many years ago and had to be careful going up stairs, she just immediately walked up the stairs with me, pacing herself along with me. I had one hand on the bannister and one on her back. From that day on she never let me go up the stairs alone, even when I easily could. Miss her like crazy and it has been 8 years since she passed.

That is a touching story, mimi! When I was recovering from cancer surgery, my first chow, Rosie, took care of me and wouldn't let anybody come close when I (necessarily) walked her off the leash, she would circle me and growl
9:02 am
MimiCat
She was, as most shepherds, very protective of her home. When someone would come to the door, she would get in front of me and stare at them as if to say "Touch my mommy and I'll eat your face!" But she wasn't an aggressive dog at all under any other circumstance.
9:02 am

,aybe she had a hidden chow gene a s that's what th chows all do
9:03 am
rubyfoo
may I havve the stats, or even a clue, for the 9

From the moment I took her home as a pup she was as perfect as a dog can get. Housebroken immediately, very quiet in temperament, loving and though I thought I was getting her for my children, she was always MY dog!

The word was, when we first starting hearing about not serving the green potatoes, that the green part was a risk for a pregnant women. But even if you're cooking for a whole roomful of them, peeling deep is all that's needed. Now about that clue for the nine. . .

The best part of this onion recipe is that it is baked instead of deep fried so the calorie count is much less.
9:16 am

no, a much fancier one that is only open "for the season". We took sprite there and it has always been very good. But today, Mothers' Day in France, it was awful! and expensive, to boot

the local Italian is always OK, occasionally good, occasionally bad

Hi everyone!
11:09 am
rururocks
hi jilly
11:10 am
Jillyjill
:( I am afraid I have bad news ruru.... Jane has a wedding and I completely spaced that it is graduation here...damn anyway
11:11 am
rururocks
no problem jilly
11:11 am
rururocks
my friends will have me running.. at least I'll see Montana
11:11 am
Jillyjill
We both were looking forward to a meetup....looks like pretty good weather
11:11 am
rururocks
maybe another time
11:12 am
Jillyjill
And where you are going is where I grew up, a truly magnificent area...you will have so much fun!
11:12 am
Jillyjill
And definitly! We'll make it back to the Bay Area sometime...have many friends that live there.
11:12 am
rururocks
the progressive dinner will be fun
11:13 am
Jillyjill
ahhh, is that what is planned...what a great spot.
11:13 am
rururocks
catered.. I don't have to do anything but open wine
11:14 am
Jillyjill
Rough life! ;)
11:14 am
rururocks
..but I have to talk about them.. that's exhausting :D
11:15 am
Jillyjill
I would love to learn more about wine, my knowledge consists of basic serving matches and what I like...LOL
11:15 am
rururocks
that's really all that matters jilly is what you like
11:17 am
Jillyjill
After living in the Bay Area and thus being more into wines for 30+ years, what I really dislike is the 'trending' that occurs, a wine becomes popular, and then you can't find your favs...
11:18 am
MollyL
And talking interferes with all the drinking : )
11:18 am
Jillyjill
LOL...hello there Molly! How are you today?
11:19 am
Jillyjill
and ruru, to resume discussion on wine (and drinking). One of my favs is Gewürztraminer...only have one Washington vineyard that I can get it from...
11:19 am
rururocks
unless you like talking ...
11:20 am
rururocks
there are several nice California and French Gewurztraminers jilli
11:20 am
rururocks
Navarro (in Mendocino) makes one of the best in California
11:21 am
Jillyjill
The problem is that no stores want to carry it since it isn't 'popular'....
11:21 am
rururocks
Joseph Swan has a nice Dry one
11:21 am
rururocks
you can order them to ship to you..it's usually not that much
11:21 am
Jillyjill
I am going to note that ruru...because I really love that wine, prefer less dry however..
11:22 am
rururocks
lemme think
11:23 am
Jillyjill
Have found and bookmarked Navarro...
11:23 am
rururocks
Fetzer makes one.. but it's pretty sweet
11:23 am
rururocks
Fetzer makes one.. but it's pretty sweet
11:23 am
Jillyjill
Poor ruru, I am making him work on a Sunday!
11:23 am
kje
I can vouch for navarro... and they have 1 penny shipping several times/year, so not too bad to order online
11:23 am
rururocks
Navarro is nice.. it's on the drier side.. but has a lot of flavor
11:24 am
Jillyjill
Hi kje...
11:25 am
kje
several of their wines are a little sweeter, just read the descriptions, they are accurate (I on the other hand, avoid the sweeter ones)
11:25 am
rururocks
you might find Hugel (French) where you are too Jilly it's good.. his Reserve Personelle
11:26 am
rururocks
...that's because you are so "sweet" already KJE :D
11:26 am
Jillyjill
I am probably somewhere in-between...not too sweet, not too dry. currently use Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville WA
11:27 am
rururocks
but if you're eating jilly.. drier is better
11:27 am
Jillyjill
Hmmm, now I want a glass of wine....
11:27 am
kje
one place less dry is better is with some of teh spicy asian cuisines
11:27 am
rururocks
exactly kje
11:29 am

12:12 pm

12:12 pm
periwinkle
haha, that is right. I may or might wait until tomorrow. going to a BBQ. not sure if there will be any alcohol served tho
12:13 pm
periwinkle
I am bringing a fruit salad. deciding whether to buy ready made or put together something myself.
12:14 pm
rubyfoo
do you have a flask, peri?
12:14 pm
periwinkle
I will see what the ready made looks like first. I offered to bring something. but others are being asked to bring something whether they asked or not which i think is pretty tacky
12:15 pm
periwinkle
is tacky the right word?
12:15 pm
periwinkle
no I do not, ruby
12:15 pm
MollyL
I agree Peri.
12:16 pm
periwinkle
when I invite people over I never ask they to bring something. if they ask I usually say no.sometimes people bring something without asking and that is ok
12:17 pm
periwinkle
at least they will have veggie burgers for me and some others
12:17 pm
periwinkle
I am stuck with 88 left
12:18 pm
MollyL
Nice that they are being accommodating to vegetarians.
12:18 pm
periwinkle
yes, they are not usually so accomodating, I am surprised
12:19 pm
periwinkle
when I invite people I always ask if there is anything they do not eat
12:19 pm
periwinkle
I was prepared to bring my own veggie burger :)
12:19 pm
MollyL
It's hard to hit all the dietary needs these days.
12:20 pm
periwinkle
I will never forget the time a boyfriend invited me to his house for dinner. his mother cooked a ham!! mind you I am Jewish but that did not matter. The fact that I did not eat meat and he forgot to tell her. She was pretty upset.
12:20 pm
MollyL
Gluten free, lactose free, no meat, no carbs, no nuts...
12:20 pm
periwinkle
he is very hard. I try my best to be accomodating
12:20 pm
rubyfoo
that's very funny peri
12:21 pm
periwinkle
it is very hard.... is what I meant
12:21 pm

<---Just spit water at the typo

12:22 pm

I am trying to remove my comment quickly

I too lament not seeing the heinous violation. Apparently Peri is now off saying Hail Marys in order to repent.
12:52 pm
Dorens

1:54 pm

I can't fault Ikea, really. At least that stuff's not made in China. Shelving and light fixtures are good. The furniture is all hard as rocks - or so I've found.
1:54 pm
cosdem

cosdem
yeah... the wall fixtures are reasonably priced so i dont mind

Nurse Ra7: If Mr. McMurphy doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way.
2:02 pm

2:07 pm
cosdem
i do like richard dreyfuss though.
2:07 pm
cosdem

2:07 pm

Probably because for the majority of the movie, Mr. Holland was pretty cranky about having a deaf son.
2:07 pm

2:08 pm
cosdem
oh its not a word peri.. ra5 is though and theres a ra7 related but the nurse isnt a word

MollyL
No Peri, sorry, it's not a word. But part of it is, that is why I used ra7
2:08 pm

4:52 pm
lilliann
our's is 4/5 and when they first start it is called reception class and then 1-6 , so 7 years
4:52 pm
MollyL
Well now she gets your undivided attention. Probably at an age when she wants it the least. Whee!
4:52 pm
hego
We all spoil them Soodle.
4:53 pm
lilliann
that's the problem hego, too much sometimes
4:53 pm
Soodle
Going back to prehistoric times..... I started school the day I turned 4! My birthday is Sept 4th, and I was unceremoniously enrolled that day!
4:54 pm
hego
It goes by so fast Lill, it's good to enjoy them while you can.
4:54 pm
MollyL
<---October birthday. Always one of the youngest in my class.
4:54 pm
lilliann
now, you wouldn't be accepted at 4 with your birth date as the cutting off period is august the 31'st.the bairn's birthday is october and she was 5, i was 4
4:55 pm
hego
me too. sept. also.
4:55 pm
Soodle
<-------firmly believes you cannot spoil a child!
4:55 pm
hego
I agree soodle.
4:55 pm
lilliann
it certainly does hego.the thing is, they seem to grow up alot faster than we did
4:55 pm
hego
that's true.
4:56 pm
lilliann
i agree that you can never spoil them enough with love but with shop bought things we can.
4:58 pm
lilliann
now that i'm with the bairn all the time as her dad works away she wants my time constantly which isn't good for her or me.wee both need our own time but if i don't give my time to her when she wants it, she throws her" toys out the pram".
5:00 pm
hego
How old is he?
5:00 pm
lilliann
and if i want some 1:1 time with her...god forbid!
5:00 pm
Soodle
Well, (hoping I'm not tempting fate, and clutching the nearest piece of wood) I got the three of them to the age of majority without anybody getting pregnant or addicted to drugs or arrested.
5:00 pm
lilliann

5:01 pm
MollyL
*Sends an email to Soodle kids: It worked! She bought it!*

Soodle

5:13 pm

5:14 pm
MollyL
Oh, that is right up there with 3 year old L yanking men's equipment in the locker room.
5:14 pm
lilliann

5:39 pm
MollyL
We were discussing having guests who have dietary restrictions. I mentioned that it was hard to accommodate all the dietary restrictions of late. In the midst of that, Peri told a story about being invited to her boyfriend's Mom's house for dinner.
5:40 pm
MollyL
Boyfriend forgot to tell Mom Peri is a vegetarian and Mom cooked a ham for dinner.
5:40 pm
MollyL
In response to my comment about accommodating dietary restrictions of guests, Peri made the best typo ever and said...
5:41 pm
MollyL
Yes, he is hard, but I try to be accommodating.
5:42 pm
MollyL
Freudian slip of the best kind.
5:42 pm
rururocks

lilliann
the bairn and i am watching a programme that is about a big dog shelter in london.battersea dogs home and they have cats and the dogs they get in there are unbelievable.expensive pedigree dogs but people can't afford to care for them anymore.it's sad when that happens or their lifestyle changes so they can't look after them anymore, but atleast those people take them to this home than just throw them out on the street
6:32 pm
lilliann
my parents got a dog from there when i was younger and she was such alovable caring dog.i miss her even now
6:32 pm
Uneaixoise
happens here too, lilliann -- people turn their dogs in to a shelter because they can't afford food, meds, etc. But, man, that's cruel for the dogs . . .
6:32 pm
lilliann
wtg peri, tc
6:33 pm
penquis
congrats peri
6:33 pm
lilliann
i wrote that wrong, they aren't all pedigrees

Yay peri!
6:34 pm

afternoon all ::)
6:35 pm
lilliann
well, at the moment with so many people losing jobs, they can't afford to feed families, nevermind animals so atleast they are putting them into shelters so others can rehome them.i've always bought my cars from shelters
6:36 pm
Uneaixoise
o-o . . . can't say that I agree -- I work with homeless pets AND homeless people
6:36 pm
lilliann
no o-o i have just as much concern for homeless people but it is totally different

jesdraggon
if someone wants him
6:40 pm
smores
okay...youre right about that o-o
6:41 pm
Uneaixoise
o-0, what would you like to talk about? Here in Nashville, we have quite adequate food and clothing available to the homeless and working poor -- the big problem is affordable housing
6:41 pm
MollyL
I can't say that I recall a discussion about homeless people. This is a very animal oriented chat.
6:41 pm

talking about what we do to help the homeless comes accross as boasting so it rarely is a conversation starter, 0-0. It doesn't mean we don't care

But hubby won't fly...so it's drive or take the train
8:26 pm
tabbycat
Lots to see along the way though
8:27 pm
lilliann
oh wow tabby. i've always wanted to go to florida and san francisco.my hubby and i want to rent an rv and drive around america
8:27 pm
lilliann
won't the train be quicker and hassle free tabby, but i don't know about the cost
8:27 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i enjoy long distance drives, as long as i have time to stop at used book stores along the way 8-)
8:28 pm
tabbycat
My Belgian friend's brother did just that. Flew to California, rented a car and drove across the country, stopping along the way to see the sights, before getting to her place in the Florida Keys
8:28 pm
tabbycat
They took several weeks to make the trip
8:29 pm
lilliann
it doesn't really make any difference to me what mode of travel i do as i can't just get up and stretch my legs but i do like the one with the most to see
8:30 pm
tabbycat
The train takes about the same amount of time, but would be hassle free...expensive though. But worth it for this trip.
8:30 pm
lilliann
i think i'll have to wait until my hubby retires to do it tabby or we win alot of money in the lottery
8:31 pm
tabbycat
We keep hoping to win the lottery too
8:31 pm
lilliann
it would have to be a few months to really see and enjoy all the places we want to see
8:32 pm
tabbycat
Being able to get up and walk around is one of the advantages of the train and none of the stress of driving.
8:32 pm
lilliann
we were thinking of doing it when the bairn was younger and coming over for 4 weeks but then it meant that he wouldn't have had any more holiday time to take
8:33 pm
lilliann
my hubby has always wanted to see the grand canyon
8:34 pm
lilliann
maybe we could just get on trains and travel or is flying cheap?
8:34 pm
tabbycat
So do we. That would be a driving trip though.
8:34 pm
tabbycat
Flying is much cheaper and faster of course.
8:35 pm
penquis
flying shorter distances can be expensive
8:35 pm
penquis
if you use discount travel sites and plan ahead, you can save money
8:36 pm
lilliann
i want to do it before it is too hard for my husband to help me.he's just 51 but it's a bit of a pain travelling with me so i want it to be fun for him, not me being a nuance
8:37 pm
lilliann
the thing is, it's no use planning a few years ahead as 1, we don't know what's around the corner and 2 prices change all the time
8:38 pm
tabbycat
Traveling in coach on the train is not too expensive, but also not too comfortable for long trips. Round trip from where we live in Florida to San Francisco in the cheapest roomette is over $3,000. That's considered first class though and all meals on the train are included.
8:39 pm
lilliann
we'll do it one day, but atleast i can say i've seen some parts of america when i've flown over it :) and i've been to jfk airport and stood outside
8:39 pm
lilliann
the problem with me tabby is that i need the disabled bit so it's harder to plan and book
8:40 pm
tabbycat
If you only see one city in the US, I'd recommend Washington, DC There's so much to see and do and much of it is free
8:41 pm
lilliann
oh cool and alot of babblers live there(they're all saying no, don't come here)!lol
8:42 pm
lilliann
hopefully one day.i've always wanted to go to hawaii aswell
8:42 pm
tabbycat
Really? We made our first trip there last November for Thanksgiving. We packed so much into each day and felt like we only scratched the surface
8:42 pm
lilliann
but that is expensive from here
8:44 pm
tabbycat
As for the disabled bit...there are much easier accomodations here due to a law passed in 1990,
8:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
well i hate to leave in the middle of hawaii / DC but i'm off, byeeeee 8-)
8:44 pm
lilliann
i was joking about them saying it(well, maybe not to me)aye, i think there are quite a few babblers in washing state, or is that differnt...probably...my geography isn't good
8:44 pm
lilliann
bye gwen, tc
8:45 pm
lilliann
it's not the hotel rooms as such it's sitting on trains, planes etc
8:45 pm
lilliann
on a train, i need a place for my chair but i can't go backwards and i'm not good with tunnels
8:46 pm
tabbycat
Yes, Washington state is different. It's on the west coast on the Pacific Ocean and it rains a lot there. They actually have a rainforest
8:46 pm
lilliann
i get dizzy on planes when we first take off for about an hour and i end up sleeping
8:47 pm
lilliann
really? wow
8:47 pm
tabbycat
Amtrak trains have special handicapped bedrooms and you can get your meals delivered to the room
8:48 pm
lilliann
i wouldn't want my food delivered i'd be happy to go and eat in the restaurant if my wheelchair can get there but i can get into a seat if needed.i just don't like to take up seats when i don't need to, as it means more spaces for others
8:49 pm
lilliann
if i have my hubby i don't need special anything and to be quite honest i don't want it.he'll just throw me up into a bed and around to where ever i need to go to :)
8:49 pm
tabbycat
Don't know if a wheelchair can make it to the dining car. We've only made one train trip so far. We usually drive
8:50 pm
lilliann
well, if we ever do travel on a train in the US, i'll just get hubby to do a fireman's lift and we'll be fine
8:51 pm
lilliann
it's all wishful thinking tabby.hopefully one day it wioll happen
8:51 pm
tabbycat
Our trains are not as nice as the ones there and in most of Europe
8:51 pm
lilliann
our's are crap!!
8:52 pm
lilliann
alot of your's have 2 levels?
8:52 pm
tabbycat
I dream of making a trip over there one day too. Would have to win the lottery though
8:52 pm
tabbycat
Really, I thought they were nice and much faster than ours.
8:53 pm
penquis
can someone clue the last re word please?
8:53 pm
lilliann
not in the uk.the french ones are faster than ours i think.our's are always delayed because there are leaves on the line or snow
8:53 pm
tabbycat
The trains that run in the west have 2 levels. The east coast routes have low tunnels so only one level
8:53 pm
lilliann
no sorry pen, i only have 4 re words
8:54 pm
torgone
French fox
8:54 pm
tabbycat
Ours are often delayed, because they run on tracks that are owned by the freight trains, and the freight trains have precedence. Passenger trains will have to pull onto a siding and wait for the freight trains to pass.
8:55 pm
lilliann
oh really, i didn't know that
8:57 pm

a boss would di***** to his secretary
9:28 pm
lynxxx
those words are almost archaic now
9:29 pm
lilliann
they definitely are lyn which is a shame, but there are so many things that have changed through out the years and alot more to come
9:29 pm
pippingeek
people still do it all the time, especially doctors and lawyers
9:30 pm
MollyL
Yep, I transcribe di******* from digital recordings.
9:30 pm
lynxxx
voice recognition will soon change that I wouldn't mind betting
9:31 pm
MollyL
Voice recognition has a big lag in the medical and legal fields.
9:31 pm
pippingeek
voice recognition is great, but when there are mistakes it takes as long to find and correct them as it does to just transcribe in the first place
9:31 pm
lynxxx
I know my specialist uses voice recognition software to update his files
9:31 pm
pippingeek
and field-specific jargon is definitely where you get mistakes in VR
9:32 pm
cosdem
last dr5 please? :)
9:32 pm
lilliann
i've just read through your profile pipping and you've worked really hard to get where you are. i take my hat off to you. my mam has glaucoma and i have to be tested every couple of years
9:33 pm
cosdem
bever mind duh
9:33 pm
MollyL
Yep Pip, it is the field specific jargon that makes a lot of mistakes in voice recognition software. Some of them are funny.
9:34 pm
pippingeek
aw, thanks lilli! it's a really interesting job, and i get to use lasers to look at eyeballs!
9:35 pm
lynxxx
as I said I'd happily put money on it happening - and I am not a betting person
9:35 pm
lilliann
i know we've spoken before now, as i've just seen your pictures and i remember you saying you were studying but good for you to get through and have a job
9:36 pm
lilliann
mmm, i don't know if i want a lazer to my eyeball :0
9:36 pm
Trifioso
okay, im stuck - any help for the a in the top row? it is fishy? Even the count would be helpful
9:36 pm
pippingeek
working on things, and it's nice to have made some progress. plus the apartment is cleaner after this weekend and i've made a big batch of chicken tetrazzini!
9:36 pm
pippingeek
(first weekend off in 5 weeks, it's lovely)
9:37 pm
lilliann
i think it is an ar word
9:37 pm
pippingeek
it's a scanning laser lilliann, no zapping at all - measures the thickness of your retinal fiber layer
9:37 pm
Trifioso
thanks....
9:38 pm

OH GOD - fish me!
9:38 pm
lilliann
chicken tetrazzini?

9:38 pm
MollyL
Pip, in your field alone, pigmentosa, scleral buckle and retinoblastoma are words that voice recognition makes a mess of.
9:38 pm
lilliann
it's ok trif, i only got it from a clue :)
9:40 pm
lilliann
oh ok, well atleast it won't hurt then.apparently i'm suppose to be getting tested every year for glaucoma, is that right pip?
9:40 pm
lilliann
can i have a clue for all 3 de8's please
9:41 pm
pippingeek
generally if you have it in your family and have risk factors it's wise to do so
9:41 pm
pippingeek
molly i can only imagine the mess it makes of the abbreviations and acronyms we use too!
9:42 pm
lilliann
ty, it's just that my optician see's me every 2 years for my eye test but i was told if a family member has it i should be tested yearly.saying that my opticians are a widely known shop and all about money, and not p[eople
9:43 pm
lilliann
and i had a woman in her 80's notes given to me a few years ago which had her address on, which isn't good, so god knows who got mine as they've lost mine twice
9:44 pm
lilliann
and that was also on the computor that they lost all my information
9:48 pm
lilliann
exactly, especially with computor fraud and they'll have all my details!
9:49 pm
pippingeek
no, the best thing you can do with glaucoma is catch it early and control it, since it is irreversible
9:50 pm
pippingeek
or, the damage it does is irreversible, that is
9:50 pm
pippingeek
hey welki

10:07 pm
jmcnrick
and now it is beeping every minute or two and i can't figure out how to stop it. . .
10:08 pm
jmcnrick
it doesn't bode for a restful night!
10:08 pm
lilliann
can you unplug it jmc?
10:08 pm
jmcnrick
that is what is making it beep. . . if i close it, it grinds with no water. . .
10:09 pm
jmcnrick
i think i could trow the circuit breaker but i would have to go outside and down into the yucky basement. . . something i dont care to do late at night. . .
10:09 pm
welki
no dial, then, eh?
10:09 pm

there is not a power switch in a cupboard next to it

10:10 pm
jmcnrick
no, I wish lynxxx I looked in a couple of them
10:11 pm
lilliann
(meant to ask my hubby that is
10:11 pm
jmcnrick
i think i will just have to either gird my loins. . .screw to the sticking point. . .and go into the basement. . .or just ignore it all night. . .
10:11 pm
jmcnrick
that is the problem with built ins isn't it?
10:11 pm
welki
i vote circuit breaker
10:11 pm
jmcnrick
maybe you can just set it to very very warm. . .
10:12 pm
jmcnrick
*whimpers and whines* but its dark and dank and there are things in the basement. . .
10:12 pm
jmcnrick
i realize this will destroy my reputation in the chog as a strong woman!
10:12 pm
lilliann
i only have a setting for the fridge and the freezer just is frozen when it's plugged in

welki
breaks into song, 't's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew,
Where danger is double and pleasures are few,
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine'
10:13 pm
lilliann
what things?
10:13 pm
jmcnrick
what a great song! i sing it all the time!
10:13 pm
lilliann
just get a torch and make loads of noises as you are going down the stairsd :)
10:13 pm
welki
you'll do fine - want me to call you and be on the phone with you when you go?
10:14 pm

10:15 pm

10:15 pm
lilliann

10:15 pm
lilliann
sorry, i'm no help.i agree with jes.put some ear phones in listen to music
10:16 pm
jmcnrick
not as nuts as the night i spent in logan where they have a connectic sculpture that was designed to run randomly and ran all night long randomly so you couldn't get used to it. . .
10:16 pm
jmcnrick
ear plugs are a great idea!
10:16 pm
jmcnrick
how do you spell connectic?
10:16 pm
torgone
Find the little hole where the beeper is, and put tape over it ..
10:16 pm
lynxxx
if the dishwashing guy had serviced the machine before - then I would ring him up NOW and ask where the switch is
10:17 pm
lilliann
or put a pillow over your ears

10:18 pm
lilliann
so what, lyn's right, if he was suppose to fix it and didn't disturb him as you
10:19 pm
jmcnrick
unfortunately i don't have his number and am not willing to call my sister to get it. . . she is getting up early tomorrow to catch a train to see grandbaby and mom. . .
10:19 pm
jmcnrick
lynxx is right and if it were my house and my phone book i probably would do it. . .
10:19 pm
jmcnrick
i think jack and ear plugs will have to do. . .
10:20 pm
welki
jack, ear plugs and singing dark as a dungeon until you fall asleep :)
10:20 pm
lynxxx
OK far room in the house, towel against the bottom of the door, earplugs and background music
10:20 pm
lynxxx
haha - forgot about jack
10:20 pm
jmcnrick
sounds like a plan. . .
10:21 pm
jmcnrick
tsk lynxxx how could you forget about jack? haha
10:21 pm

haha the company kept me awake welki. . .
10:22 pm
welki

11:01 pm
jesdraggon
dust, pollen, smoke? could be viral or could be allergic. take a temperature - if over 103, needs an appointment. if about 101 (normal) try benadryl. how much does she weigh?
11:02 pm
Jillyjill
Just a sec, will have son weigh him...will have to check temp...will a digital work on a cat?
11:02 pm
Jillyjill
