2:45 am

rubyfoo

I talked my husband into selling his car as he hasn't used it in a long time and it just sits in the garage. He just uses my little vw "UP".

2:46 am

rubyfoo

2:47 am

puglet

2:47 am

rubyfoo

It is still surprisingly cold *around 50F)m but at least the rain has stopped. We were all getting moldy

2:47 am

rubyfoo

I drive but husband does all the grovery shopping and won't let me drive him, even though now I drive better than he does

2:48 am

rubyfoo

How is your weather, miss pug? Have you planted vÃ©gÃ©tales yet? Our toato plants are barely alive and I don't think there'll e much fruit this year

2:49 am

puglet

we are in a little cold spell ourselves. Its 3:47 am and its in the high 40's--its to get into the 70's today but no rain for for a few days

2:51 am

rubyfoo

what do you plant?

2:51 am

rubyfoo

hers

2:51 am

puglet

yep we got the garden planted and so far everything is growing good. Hubby does the veggies and I do the flowers

2:52 am

rubyfoo

all of our flowers are later; the irises just opened last week and the limp-looking roses just started

2:52 am

puglet

we got potatoes-sweet potatoes--tomatoes-cabbage-onions and a few peppers

2:52 am

puglet

OH forgot pickles and pumkins too

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I wanted to plant potatoes, but it's been too cold to do much outside. Maybe this afternoon....

2:53 am

puglet

I hope you can Ruby! Nothing like what comes from the garden

2:55 am

rubyfoo

the only tomatoes I'll eat are the ones I grow. Otherwise they're not Worth the effort and have no taste

2:55 am

puglet

My favorite rosebush just bloomed yesterday and mmm it smelled sooo good! Ive never had a rose with such a stronge wonderful smell. Its has the largest flowers too

2:55 am

rubyfoo

And there is nothing like homemade jams and jellies

2:55 am

rubyfoo

what color is it?

2:56 am

puglet

I know what you mean! I hate store tomatoes

2:56 am

rubyfoo

then

2:56 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

2:57 am

puglet

its a real dark red!---Ive never canned--I usually freeze--I wish I did know how to can

2:58 am

rubyfoo

I make as much currant Jelly as I can as it is a great vitamin c source and is wonderful in deep dark January

2:58 am

puglet

Ive been wanting to start me a grape harvert but just havent done it yet

2:58 am

rubyfoo

my roses were poorly pruned this past year so I don't think we'll get much and the peonies are very late

2:58 am

puglet

that sounds good Ruby

2:59 am

rubyfoo

a hundred years ago, they grew grapes on this hillside

2:59 am

puglet

do you have any growing

3:01 am

rubyfoo

no. Have one cherry tree which is beautiful but has large absolutely tasteless cherries, one purple plumwhich doesn't produce uch, one mirabelle (small yellow) lum which is sick, one quince, two apples and one hazelnut plus strawberries, raspberries, red and black currants and blackberries.

3:01 am

puglet

I keep thinking about the grapes my grandma grew and how good they were when I was a kid eating them. If I grew some I probally wont get the satisfaction of what I remember in my head--lol

3:01 am

rubyfoo

YThe fig mostly forms fruit anddrops it unless the weather is perfect

3:01 am

rubyfoo

3:02 am

rubyfoo

my DIL makes grape pie, but I've never had any

3:02 am

puglet

oooh your yard sounds delightful

3:02 am

puglet

she had the big concore grapes, if Im correct

3:03 am

rubyfoo

it's very pretty but somewhat overgrown with weeds, at the moment, even though I go out every warm minute to pull them out

3:03 am

puglet

Ive never had grape pie either nor figs off the tree

3:05 am

puglet

I really miss my grandma,s cooking. Even though I have fixed some of her dishes, its just not the same as hers

3:06 am

rubyfoo

I know what you mean. My grandmother has been gone since 1969 and I still miss her.

3:07 am

puglet

One thing is that some of the things she cooked with is no longer on the market

3:11 am

rubyfoo

3:11 am

puglet

I got a busy day ahead. The first of the month I got 3 people that I take to town to do all their buiness

3:12 am

3:12 am

6:38 am

rubyfoo

he wasn't happy about it but rlized it as a rational decision

rubyfoo

exactly

6:38 am

crosshair

that would save me about $1,400.00 a year here

6:39 am

rubyfoo

we'll even get some money back and our friend who bought it is taking care of all the paperwork and ding and scratches

6:39 am

rubyfoo

it's more expensive here, but we'll get about 1/2 year back

6:39 am

crosshair

7:30 am

Mom

(((LBD))) good morning

7:31 am

Anniebrook

((Mom)) good morning, I sent you an email about the flashing flooding but the daemon sent it back. Think I did not capitalize the K. Happy you are okay

7:31 am

Mom

pictures, pinochio's pants going up in flames :-)

7:32 am

Mom

Annie, I didn

7:32 am

Mom

't think the letter needed to be capitalize. You had flash flooding?

7:32 am

MollyL

Some folks need that kind of obvious clue. Liars seem to develop a rapt audience.

7:33 am

Mom

morning, Molly.

7:33 am

Anniebrook

The weather channel said there was flash flooding in Paducah, KY

7:33 am

Anniebrook

Molly, I agree.

7:34 am

Mom

Paducah is in the far western part of the commonwealth. Almost to the Tennessee border. We are in the northerner part, on the Ohio border, we didn't get a drop of rain

7:34 am

Mom

thanks for thinking of us

7:34 am

MollyL

We had crazy rain here last night. Anything prone to flooding probably did.

7:34 am

Mom

I keep trying fresh and freshener

7:34 am

Anniebrook

Right now, it is pouring here.

7:35 am

MimiCat

Rain....sigh....none here for months and none expected. Sorry about flooding but so much wish we could get some rain.... Morning, all.

7:35 am

Mom

I hope it lets up soon, Annie. The sun is shining and is 55 degrees, going up into the lower 70's

7:36 am

Mom

hi cool

7:38 am

MimiCat

It's a challenge every year, crossy. We've been in a 10-year drought and can't even depend on monsoon seasons anymore like we used to. Cannot wait to move at the beginning of next year.

7:38 am

crosshair

i will take my 6c over 100f thank you

7:39 am

crosshair

where you mving to ,mimi??

7:40 am

MimiCat

Not sure yet, crossy, but somewhere up in the mountains where there is change of seasons and I can have a veg and a flower garden. Starting to look now.

7:40 am

crosshair

good stuff;))

7:41 am

MimiCat

I'd go back to California in a heartbeat but it's too expensive there. Would love to live in ruru country.

7:42 am

MimiCat

Looking for pretty much what you have, crossy, though much smaller.

Riverdance

Good Morning Everyone - wow small grid - have only 5 left but stuck

7:43 am

Anniebrook

good morning, River

7:43 am

MimiCat

Hi, River! Getting really aggravated at all these small ones. Does Dr. God have NO control over this? And, if not, WHY?

7:44 am

Mom

((River)) good mornign

7:44 am

Mom

((River)) good mornign

7:44 am

Mom

Riverdance

((Mom))

7:44 am

MollyL

Dr. God needs to have the grace of a fisherman, and throw the small ones back.

7:44 am

Mom

there will probably be a huge one coming up soon

7:44 am

MimiCat

There ya go, Molly!

7:45 am

Riverdance

I am on edge today - my best friend is having surgery today - right now in fact - I am very worried

7:45 am

MollyL

I agree Mom, the writing is on the wall.

7:45 am

Mom

((River)) I will say a prayer for your friend

7:45 am

MimiCat

What kind of surgery?

7:45 am

Riverdance

the friend that is in this picture with me

7:46 am

Riverdance

when she had her last child 16 year ago she was over ten pounds and ripped her from end to end.....she had put up with all the issues all these years because she will not be able to drive or lift anything at all for a long time. A hysterectomy and total reconstruction and reattachment of bladder and rectum...Its major

7:46 am

Riverdance

Thank you Mom

7:47 am

lbdawger

ttfn, (((hugs))) to all.

7:47 am

Riverdance

bye lbd and congrats

7:48 am

Riverdance

the surgery started at 7:30 this morning...it is expected to last at least 5 hours....I am sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear from her sister. I will be at the hospital after I get out of work at 4.

7:48 am

Mom

((LBD)) have a great day

7:48 am

MimiCat

Wow, River....she will be hurting for some time. I hope her doctor is kind enough to give her the proper pain relief. I'm sure you'll be there for support so she is lucky there.

7:48 am

crosshair

have to correct you there ,mimi as we do not have it yet.we would LOVE to have it as it is but 5 minutes brom us but still in the hills a bit

7:50 am

crosshair

wow.heavy surgery indeed.wish the best for your friend and a speedy recovery!

7:50 am

Riverdance

she will be in the hospital 2-3 days. Her sister is staying with her the first week. I will probably stay with her the next couple weeks (although I will have to go to work during the day)

7:51 am

MimiCat

Does she still have children at home?

7:51 am

Riverdance

Her kids 16 and 19 live with her so will be a help although daughter is in school during the day

7:51 am

Mom

I need to scoot. River, I will hope all goes well.
I wish everyone a great day. ((Hugs))

7:51 am

MimiCat

Bye, Mom!

7:51 am

Mom

bye Mimi

7:51 am

Riverdance

thanks Mom - hagd - hugs back at you

7:51 am

Mom

((River))

7:52 am

MimiCat

At least someone can, hopefully, take care of the house and get her meals and such, although you never know with teens!

7:54 am

Riverdance

I plan on doing some meals for her that can be frozen when another adult cant be there - lasagna, casseroles, all that will need to be done is to be put in the oven. A couple other friends will be doing the same. We will get her through the worst of it but they have already told her no lifting at all - not even a gallon of milk for at least 12 weeks

7:55 am

MimiCat

Big gray cat on my lap now making it more difficult to type. He is such a gentleman....he always comes up and puts one paw on my leg to ask permission first.

7:55 am

Riverdance

and both of her kids have jobs so it will be a juggle for them but they will get through. Hopefully her ex will step up to the plate and give rides to daughter when needed

7:55 am

Riverdance

Thanks all for listening to me - I should get back to work now. Hugs to all.

7:56 am

MimiCat

Does she have coverage for a home health assistant for awhile?

7:56 am

Riverdance

she works for the State so I would assume she has very good coverage but who knows.

7:57 am

MimiCat

That would be a good thing to set up for her, River, at least at the beginning. They don't have to live in, just come a couple of hours a day.

7:58 am

Riverdance

I will talk with her about that - must go - saving my last 4 for later

7:58 am

MimiCat

OK---I'm going to the PB for this but don't care. So glad Babble allows the worth ruth....none of my other games do and it's so aggravating as it is definitely a valid word!! You can't be ruthless without ruth to begin with, after all!

7:59 am

Riverdance

lol.....

7:59 am

Aloyisius

8:02 am

MimiCat

I often miss my home state, Aloy...guess they're not exactly prepared for film crews there, huh?

8:02 am

BzznBea

Are you bac for a special occasion, Aloy?

8:02 am

Aloyisius

well, people seem to be patient with the inconveniences

8:02 am

cool.girl

i think its the other one i need

8:03 am

MimiCat

Would love to go to Michael Symon's restaurant in Cleveland. Still have so many friends in the northern Cincinnati area.

8:03 am

Aloyisius

hi Bea.. mowing, home maintenance, etc.. always love coming back

8:03 am

Biltong

Hello. Clue for the second th6/21, please?

8:03 am

Anniebrook

he5---plural inheritors, cool

8:03 am

MollyL

The other he5/12 is plural of one who gets money from a will

8:04 am

MimiCat

You're like our "snow birds" here, Aloy. They've all left for the summer, lucky ducks.

8:04 am

Anniebrook

Bilt...it's a plural

8:04 am

Marc Freeman

The th6/21 is about taking corn out of the field. Something like that then pl for the 8

8:05 am

MimiCat

Thanks, Marc!

8:05 am

Biltong

ty, Annie :) Was so sure I'd tried that.

8:05 am

Aloyisius

yes, we are snow birds for a while.. but hubby stays more in Fla. bc of the grove - he will be here in a couple of weeks

8:06 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get a clue for lu7, please?

8:06 am

MollyL

th6/21...plural of the th5 before it. Not mine, but th5

8:06 am

Aloyisius

ty Molly, missed the pl

8:06 am

BzznBea

It is a Christian group, Marc. Created my Martin LU...

8:07 am

Anniebrook

Marc, lu7---Martin Lu**** King and add a consonant

8:07 am

Marc Freeman

I think that is for the first th6

8:07 am

Biltong

lu7 and 8 combo. Type of window as clued earlier

8:07 am

MimiCat

No offense, Aloy, but around here I always say people shouldn't be allowed to live here in the winter unless they pay their dues by being here in the summer! Kidding.

8:07 am

Biltong

Thanks Molly :)

8:07 am

Habes

Good morning all

8:07 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks got it

8:07 am

BzznBea

Sorry. Not the religion. I will shut up now.

8:08 am

Anniebrook

morning, Habes

8:08 am

MollyL

Yes, but she asked for th6/21.

8:08 am

Aloyisius

np Mimi.. lol, we paid our dues since 1971 in NE Oh winters

8:08 am

Biltong

Thanks Marc, got the th6/21

8:09 am

Marc Freeman

sorry, Molly

8:09 am

MimiCat

Hi, Habes!

8:09 am

MollyL

: )

8:10 am

MimiCat

You're right about that, Aloy! Can you believe I actually miss winters? Especially this time of year!

8:11 am

MimiCat

It's interesting how certain states choose their winter homes. Ohio people generally go to Florida and Michigan people often come here to Arizona. No idea why!

8:11 am

Aloyisius

only way I got thru many of the winters was x-c skiing.. otherwise, would have been housebound and nutso

8:12 am

MimiCat

I'm nutso anyway, Aloy, and have no good excuse!

8:12 am

Aloyisius

daughter is in Phoenix.. will be there (hold your breath).. end of August

8:12 am

Aloyisius

I know.. heat!

8:13 am

MimiCat

Ooooh, why in August, Aloy? Must be a VERY good reason to come here that time of year. Would love to meet up for lunch if you can.

8:13 am

Anniebrook

In the wintertime the wind coming off the ocean is so fierce it pushes you along.

8:13 am

Aloyisius

yes.. good reason.. and we will be on our way to a fam. reunion in Pagosa Springs, so relief is one trip away

8:14 am

Anniebrook

But in the summertime the wind coming off the ocean is a cooling breeze which is delightful

8:14 am

MimiCat

Sounds good to me, Annie! Will try to imagine that next time I must go out in the heat!

8:14 am

Biltong

Clue for the first tr6/18 please?

8:15 am

MimiCat

Pagosa Springs is wonderful. Actually, anywhere in south and western Colorado is heaven to me. Ouray is my favorite..charming and where all us hold hippies went to open delis and rock shops!

8:16 am

MimiCat

old hippies.

8:16 am

Aloyisius

Hello nef!

12:05 pm

Hi Jilly. How are you today? Do you have a 3 day weekend going on?

12:05 pm

Jillyjill

No, had one case this morning, then a meeting this afternoon.

12:07 pm

Nef

so you are between things now. Are you still at work, or can you go home in-between work items?

12:07 pm

Jillyjill

Went home *gasps at thought of babbling at work* LOL

12:10 pm

Nef

LOL, we couldn't do it either back when I worked in the hospital; but a few people would play solitary on their phones while waiting for their post-op pts.

12:11 pm

Nef

(Funny thing, I never had time to play games; I was usually helping others during my down time before getting my pts.) --Don't *I* sound sanctimonious? LOL!

12:12 pm

EvaNadine

oh, im not supposed to babble at work??
::looks for car keys::

12:13 pm

Nef

Hi EvaNadine. You aren't a nurse; so I don't know about your work setting

12:14 pm

Jillyjill

Me too! I have a bit of a slow co-worker, who is frequently not found between patients and is a bit lazy. Anyway, today she bitched at the other nurse that the patient had not been entered in the scope computer. The coworker responded that "Well, Jill always does that for me.." Bet that went over well..

12:14 pm

Jillyjill

hello evanadine

12:14 pm

EvaNadine

hiya nef. hi jilly. :)
not a nurse. still probably not supposed to babble, but i need my brain-breaks now and then. :)

12:15 pm

Nef

I think we all need brain breaks at work. Especially if it's one of "those" days

12:16 pm

EvaNadine

and believe me, today most definitely IS.

HI Kate

1:51 pm

Nef

we haven't had tornadoes here where I live; but the rain and cold have delayed everything by at least a month. Farmers have to have their crops in by June 10th here in MN or they can't get crop insurance and it's way too wet.

1:51 pm

Nef

hi pug.

HI NEF

we have a pair of Mallard ducks that have decided to hang out in our fenced in back yard. I don't know why they want to be in the fenced in yard this year; we usually have a pair that seem to settle in to the front yards on our end of the street.

72 Temple Owl

everyone here raves about firefox but my firefox just crashed. Just like ie

8:10 pm

MollyL

I used to use Firefox, now I use Google Chrome.

8:13 pm

MollyL

If your computer is crashing on a regular basis, it could be problems that are beyond what browser you use.

8:36 pm

rururocks

might have more to do with brownie crumbs in the hard drive. :D

8:37 pm

welki

hi folks

8:37 pm

rururocks

hi welki

8:37 pm

welki

how was your trip to big sky country, ru?

8:39 pm

MimiCat

TO, I was having trouble with slow response and also browser crashing so I ran a free AVG scan and then it cleaned it up for me...no more problems. It is convenient because I use it for my security, too.

8:39 pm

MollyL

Brownie crumbs...brownie points gone bad.
: D

8:39 pm

MimiCat

ROFL, Molly!

8:40 pm

8:42 pm

rururocks

sometimes one small change .. can change a house mimi

8:42 pm

MollyL

A regular clean up by AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials and Malware Bytes should keep your computer clean. You need both virus and malware protection.

8:43 pm

MollyL

Ru are you designing Hallmark cards now?
: P

8:43 pm

MimiCat

You're on a roll tonight, Molly!

8:44 pm

rururocks

...thinking about it... all I need is some weemees and a few sayings

8:44 pm

MimiCat

Since I'm here so much, it's very important that I enjoy and take comfort in my home.

8:44 pm

MimiCat

I'm very much into lighting effects. This time I just put a Tiffany lamp in my kitchen in a corner on the counter....really jazzed it up.

rururocks

Babble Hallmark Card moment: " I think you're wonderful.. if I could just figure out how many points that is..."

8:46 pm

MimiCat

I'd like to see the demotivators as cards. There's one I'd like to send to a couple of people I know: "Perhaps the sole purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others." --snark--

8:47 pm

dan2bit

firewords! lu7 & 8 were my last - what my grandpappy called the protestants out by him

8:47 pm

rururocks

My all time favorite is " I just lost 200 pounds of ugly fat.. (then you open the card) "I'm divorced"

8:47 pm

MollyL

Babble Hallmark Cards...when you keir enough to send the very best.

8:48 pm

MimiCat

I can certainly relate to that one, ruru!

8:48 pm

MollyL

Grandpappy probably pronounced it that way too, 2Bit.

8:48 pm

TMI arena

9:03 pm

MimiCat

Saw a couple more words so still here. You know, life is so much about balance. On the one hand, one can be a snooty bitch but on the other hand....well, sometimes there just ISN'T another hand.

9:04 pm

Jillyjill

and welcome back ruru

9:04 pm

Jillyjill

<---need to breath after laughing too hard at mimi;s comment

9:05 pm

9:06 pm

Jillyjill

MollyL

Now thinking of Peri again

9:08 pm

rururocks

9:08 pm

MimiCat

Nah---LET IT FLY!!!

9:09 pm

MimiCat

I didn't really have a good place for it so it was off in the corner in the bedroom and never used it. It's so pretty and now I can see it all the time.

9:09 pm

Jillyjill

I think that's a great idea mimi!

9:09 pm

MollyL

Ru, you need to go on vacation more often
: D

9:09 pm

MimiCat

It uses nightlight bulbs so it is very subtle.

9:14 pm

penquis

9:21 pm

penquis

9:21 pm

MollyL

No, I saw it a while ago. You should keep mentioning it in chat as not everyone looks at profiles.

9:22 pm

Minveryork

9:23 pm

Minveryork

rururocks, where is that wedding you're going to in VT? I'm trying to decide if I should do meet-up at my parents house in Strafford or Burlington. Which would be closer to you?

9:26 pm

stidmama

Min, you and I had the SAME last word!

9:26 pm

rururocks

I"m not sure.. I need to find out... I think it is near that lake you mentioned

9:27 pm

stidmama

If it is near Lake Champlain, that would be Burlington, VT.

Hi again everyone. I had a long day.

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

bye jilly

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

hi nef

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

what made it so long?

10:10 pm

Nef

Sorry, I was reading back in chat. I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up meds today, but our clinic and pharmacy had been flooded out so had to find the new place to get them (and DH can't read maps or directions anymore)

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

that would make it difficult. . .and np i read back in the chog too

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

i just got home from 2 hours of playing volley ball with a group ranging from 25 to 52. . . not counting me!

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

i am already sore. . .i hope i can roll out of bed tomorrow

10:12 pm

Nef

Then we got lost looking for the next appointment; then we bought some plants for the garden and got some of them planted. Then our handyman came over and we have to brace up the living room floor so had to tear out sheetrock across the whole basement for a 4 foot wide strip.

10:12 pm

jmcnrick

tbecause of the flooding?

10:12 pm

Nef

If it was me; I'd take a nice hot bath and some tylenol before bed.

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

i took the tylenol but the hot water heater is dead. . . i boil water in the morning to make coffee and take a spit bath as my grandmother called them. . .

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

i am too tired to boil enough water for a warm bath. . .

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

i understand why baths were not popular until the 20th century!

10:15 pm

Nef

oh, sorry. The clinic and pharmacy flooded Friday eve from a broken water main, but it was the same night we got 3 inches of rain. Our floor has been "bouncy" for years; and it rattles china even when the dog trots across the room these days (and the dog only weighs 11 lbs)

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

oh i see. . .good idea to brace the floor and take care of that!

10:16 pm

Nef

LOL! We grew up calling them "PTA" baths (pits, tits, arse)

10:17 pm

jmcnrick

my grandmother would never have used those terms! haha

10:17 pm

jmcnrick

clue for th ein6 please

10:17 pm

Nef

I have a hutch, buffet, and a secretary in that room. There is a 1/4 inch dip in the floor by the buffet now.

10:18 pm

Nef

Oh, don't worry. I never knew what that meant tip I overheard my a

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

goodness. . . better do it before the floor gives way!

10:19 pm

Nef

Aunts' cousin say it! I just assumed it meant we had to be clean enough for the PTA meetings! (I was raised by the County Sup't. of Schools, remember)

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

haha. . . it does sound like something my great aunt ina might say. . . she was a nurse and so a little more . . . rowdy? less refined? less sheltered? can't quite pick the word. . .

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

down to earth!

10:21 pm

Nef

Our handyman said that we had 2 or 3 options; ignore it, use short cross braces in between each floor beam, or sister the 3 middle beams.

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

so i know you are not ignoring it. . .

10:22 pm

Nef

(I chose the best -and most expensive- fix)

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

sister the middle beam?

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

always go for the best!

10:23 pm

jmcnrick

no clue for the in6?

10:23 pm

skiz

in6 extra in Sunday's newpaper

10:24 pm

onyx

when you sister two beams dont you have to stick another beam in there? thats a clue

10:24 pm

Nef

we'll be putting another 2 X 8 inch floor beam next to the 3 problem beams and bolt them together to strengthen the floor

10:24 pm

jmcnrick

ty onyx

10:25 pm

onyx

sounds like a lot of work

10:25 pm

10:45 pm

i was thinking about you today. . .some friends introduced me to their rescue chocolate lab. . .

10:45 pm

Nef

hi jes

10:45 pm

Nef

BRB

10:45 pm

jesdraggon

wanna outdo them with a rescue mastiff? *hahahhahaa*

10:49 pm

jmcnrick

uh. . . no i think i will pass. . . haha

10:49 pm

jmcnrick

you do know i am afraid of dogs,no? probably no.

10:50 pm

jesdraggon

he's more like a pony really... are you scared of ponies?

10:50 pm

jesdraggon

:D

10:51 pm

Nef

back. Oh dear. a mastiff? those are so huge!

10:51 pm

jmcnrick

no pony ever bit me. . .

10:52 pm

jesdraggon

i've been bitten by ponies...

10:52 pm

jmcnrick

don't misunderstand. . . i think your work is fabulous!

10:52 pm

Nef

You've been lucky then, jmc (or under-exposed to them)

10:52 pm

jesdraggon

this one's too short to ride, but he could pull a cart :)

10:53 pm

jesdraggon

and you'd never fear getting assaulted while walking him :)

10:53 pm

Nef

how much does he weigh, jes?

10:53 pm

jmcnrick

to be fair i wouldn't take a pony into my house in the city either. . .

10:53 pm

jmcnrick

probably underexposed nef. . .not a lot of ponies in the city. . .

10:54 pm

jesdraggon

about 117

10:54 pm

jmcnrick

well at least i would out weigh him!

10:54 pm

jmcnrick

thanks anyway...i think i will wander off to bed. . .

10:55 pm

Nef

oh my! (I have enough trouble cleaning up our yard after my 11 lb. dog has been out there all winter!

10:55 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet!

10:55 pm

Nef

niters, jmc!

10:57 pm

Nef

Jes, do you need any clues?

10:57 pm

jesdraggon

how's DH, Nef?

10:57 pm

jesdraggon

i'll probably need clues shortly - just started though

10:58 pm

Nef

doing okay right now; not terrific (having some dizziness these past few days)

10:59 pm

jesdraggon

vertigo? or related to other issues?

10:59 pm

Nef

we're trying to figure that out before calling his doctor.

11:00 pm

jesdraggon

ah

11:01 pm

Nef

I'm leaning towards either too much hot chocolate (with marshmallows) at bedtime causing high blood sugars (170 + for fasting AM) or orthostatic hypotension.

11:01 pm

Nef

or M.S. again. :-/

11:05 pm

Nef

how's your world doing?

11:05 pm

jesdraggon

no such thing as too much hot chocolate!

11:06 pm

Nef

if you're a diabetic and drinking it at bedtime, there is

11:06 pm

Pinikula

Howdy strangers! :o)

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

My world is mixed bag. work is good, except for not hearing back from the doctor i want to interview

11:07 pm

Nef

hi PINI! How are you?

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

ah, yes. Well, I will try to avoid the diabetes :)

11:07 pm

Pinikula

hiya nef...not too bad...wishing school was over for the year!

11:07 pm

Nef

Looking for a new partner, jes?

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

evening pinikula!

11:07 pm

Pinikula

hiya jes :)

11:07 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, got an associate retiring

11:09 pm

Nef

oh, dear. You need someone before you're back to the 24/7/365 grind again!

11:09 pm

Nef

hey, Pini. I've finished and am willing to clue (but may not be any good at it; I'm tired)

11:10 pm

jesdraggon

luckily this time, it's the part time doctor and not the other full time.

11:10 pm

Pinikula

not sure you want to clue 61 words!!! LOL

11:10 pm

Pinikula

down to 50 now :)

11:12 pm

Pinikula

...and slowing down!

11:12 pm

Nef

I missed a lot of plurals this afternoon

11:13 pm

Pinikula

40!

11:13 pm

Pinikula

<-- I'm a rollin'! LOL

11:13 pm

jesdraggon

home has its moments too... dealing with the drama of the kid dating a total twit

11:14 pm

Nef

Whoo HOO Pini!

11:14 pm

Nef

how old is the kid, jes?

11:14 pm

jesdraggon

16

11:15 pm

Pinikula

I'll take hints for the 7 and 8s!! :)

11:15 pm

Nef

raging hormones or a nerd?

11:16 pm

jesdraggon

raging hormones. he's not really a nerd, though he is (usually, anyway) smart.

11:16 pm

Nef

lu 7/36, lu8/50

11:16 pm

Pinikula

hmmm ... thinking

11:17 pm

Pinikula

got 'em! :)

11:17 pm

Nef

if he was a nerd; I'd suggest some sort of new video game to get his mind off her. She'd get bored watching him play it! :-D

11:17 pm

Nef

mis-spelt religion

11:17 pm

Pinikula

oh, you're evil, Nef!! :)

11:17 pm

jesdraggon

just currently thinking with the wrong head, or he'd realize that a lying, threatening, manipulating, unreliable, borderline illiterate, disrespectful girl isn't a good choice for dating, even if she is physically attractive.

11:18 pm

Pinikula

eeek...gotta kick that one to the curb, jes!!! YIKES!

11:18 pm

Nef

the video game idea? Of course I am! I've been the mom of both at those ages! :-D

11:18 pm

jesdraggon

hah. his dad is the one with the new video game actually.

11:19 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, well, we can't force him to break up with her, really. that sort of move almost always backfires.

11:19 pm

Nef

Pini, are you prejudiced, or is she really that bad? ;-)

11:20 pm

Pinikula

uh...she sounds pretty bad...I'd be scared!

11:20 pm

Pinikula

(she 'sounds' pretty bad)

11:20 pm

jesdraggon

she's really that bad. this weekend, the kid said it would be much easier on him if we could get along, and asked what the barriers to us having a friendly relationship are.

11:20 pm

Nef

OOOPS! Wrong Babbler? That question was for jes.

11:20 pm

jesdraggon

we started with "the ultimatums she's declared, saying that she'll never have anything to do with Jes under any circumstances ever is a pretty big one"

11:20 pm

Pinikula

it's ok...I still think she sounds bad!!!

11:22 pm

Nef

the girl said she didn't want anything to do with YOU? WOW!!

11:22 pm

jesdraggon

we ended up writing him out a list, with specific examples/incidents of lying, threatening, manipulating, treating him with disrespect in our presence, unreliability, and "suspicious circumstances" that we can't PROVE were her lying but are awfully handy. Told him he should ask the same question of her, and he admitted that he wouldn't get any better answer than "they just don't like me" or "they're mean"

11:23 pm

Nef

And you get along with the kid well?

11:23 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, I "make her uncomfortable" but she wants a relationship with kid's "real mom" (or so she claims, until she meets "real mom", with whom I've been conversing regularly, and who also thinks the girl is a twit)

11:23 pm

jesdraggon

Yeah, we usually get along fine.

11:24 pm

Nef

very much a drama queen?

11:25 pm

jesdraggon

oh yes. she claims she hangs out with guys because they cause less drama, but she is clearly a full-on attention seeker.

11:26 pm

Nef

oh dear. I hate people whot think that they should be the center of attention all the time

11:26 pm

Pinikula

* hanging head* yep, she's not long-term relationship material if you ask me!

11:26 pm

Pinikula

* drama be gone! *

11:27 pm

Nef

I wonder what would happen if the boy got sick? Or maybe goes away for a week? (Would she still be there when he came back?)

11:27 pm

jesdraggon

oh, i've specifically told him "i wouldn't date someone who did x" on several different occasions, with several different x

11:29 pm

jesdraggon

he was grounded for several weeks, actually - and during that time, she threatened me, bruce, and bruce's mom all with breaking up with him if we didn't let him off grounding earlier. she didn't actually follow through on that, more's the pity.

11:29 pm

Nef

but see, jes; HE isn't YOU and he hasn't seen her through any reality

11:30 pm

Nef

SHE threatened YOU to cut the grounding? What nerve!

11:30 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, i know. and i'm stuck with not being able to do anything except point out when she's being horrible to him and wait for him to realize she's not worth it.

11:30 pm

Pinikula

I'm thinking that curb is looking pretty good for her!

11:31 pm

Nef

very true, Pini

11:32 pm

jesdraggon

yeah - and when we first grounded him, threatened me with a variety of dire consequences. "don't blame me if he never speaks to you again, you're going to lose him, he's going to hate you, don't blame me if he runs away..."

11:32 pm

Pinikula

down to 28 :o)

11:33 pm

Nef

Go, Pini, Go!!! You can do it!

11:33 pm

Pinikula

NBT / NBS

11:33 pm

jesdraggon

the best one was "don't be surprised if you see me on the news tomorrow!" I asked her what she even meant by that and she just mumbled "i don't know" "you don't know? then why on earth would you say it?"

11:33 pm

jesdraggon

yay pini!

11:34 pm

Nef

jes; what kind of home is this girl from? That is very destructive vicious language!

11:34 pm

jesdraggon

stats for the e?

11:34 pm

Pinikula

vase?

11:34 pm

Nef

er4/4

11:34 pm

Cathyar

don't mean to insert myself into a conversation here (I popped in to clue till the flip), but I went through a similar scenario with my own teenage son and a very disrespectful young lady. I found, the more you protest, the more they want to go against you. For my boy, he eventually saw her true colors when she started gossiping about him behind his back. It fizzled out.

11:34 pm

Pinikula

or the bird without the T

11:35 pm

jesdraggon

from a seriously effed up home, of course. crazy druggie mother who doesn't actually have custody of any of her 4 kids, but lives with gramma (who does have custody) and 3 of the kids - the other is with another relative elsewhere.

11:35 pm

jesdraggon

very fishy e word, thanks :)

11:35 pm

Pinikula

makes sense Cathyar :)

11:35 pm

jesdraggon

no worries, Cath - if it was a private conversation I wouldn't be having it in public! :)

11:36 pm

Pinikula

...perhaps we're just blind until we come to our senses as youngin's...

11:36 pm

Nef

how long did it take him, Cathyar?

11:36 pm

Cathyar

It is difficult, but all you can do is let him know you love him and want to respect his choices, but you fear for his heart (and/or safety).

11:36 pm

Pinikula

oh, shoot...I retract the NBT / NBS...need the center S

11:36 pm

Cathyar

It was about 4 months

11:37 pm

jesdraggon

se5/10

11:37 pm

Pinikula

thx jes...NOW nbt/nbs

11:37 pm

Cathyar

Even though you may not like the girl, encourage them to spend the time at your home, then at least you know what they're up to.

11:38 pm

Pinikula

ooooh, good one, Cathyar :)

11:38 pm

Nef

how long has the boy been dating her, jes?

11:38 pm

jesdraggon

i kinda don't want her to know where we live!

11:38 pm

jesdraggon

about 2 months, but he was grounded for half of that...

11:41 pm

Cathyar

my son lied to me one night...told me he was going to spend the night at a buddy's house and was walking there...mother's instinct kicked in and I knew he was lying so I waited 10 minutes then headed to her house...caught him walking to the girl's house. He saw me and bolted...I chased him down and brought him home and grounded him...after that both the girl and her mother hated me...I even had threatening phone calls from both the girl and her mother.

11:41 pm

Pinikula

eeeeek!

11:42 pm

Cathyar

that's when I realized it's best for me to let it be and hope he sees the light sooner rather than later. I did tell him I was going to get the police involved....this girl's mom was also a pot smoker and allowed her daughter to do it with her.

11:43 pm

Nef

Oh, my!

11:43 pm

Cathyar

anyway...when my boy finally saw the light, I was never more happy. It helped too that shortly after that the girl and her mom moved out of town.

11:44 pm

jesdraggon

Yeah, pot is definitely an issue of contention. I don't actually care if adults want to indulge occasionally, but I don't think it's appropriate to be baking pot brownies with an 8 and a 5 year old... *headdesk*

11:44 pm

Nef

I'm glad that my kids weren't that involved with a nasty person at such young ages!

11:44 pm

Cathyar

how old is your son jes?

11:44 pm

jesdraggon

(i don't know that they let the younger kids actually eat any... but... damn)

11:44 pm

jesdraggon

he's 16

11:46 pm

Cathyar

ahhh...a couple years older than mine when I went through it. Probably all the more imperative you let him make these choices now and learn the lesson sooner rather than later. If you previously had a good relationship with him, he will come around.

11:46 pm

jesdraggon

i certainly hope so.

11:46 pm

Cathyar

sometimes we have to let them make their mistakes young so they learn the lesson.

11:47 pm

Nef

are you serious, jes? I don't even know what to say....

11:48 pm

Cathyar

better than when he is of legal age and could seriously get into trouble.

11:48 pm

Pinikula

need 3 more S's...

they are sh's, I bet

all you can really do is support him and be there for him, still let him know you don't approve, but you won't stand in the way.

Peri, I'm just now finding some time to babble more often...off work for a few weeks.
