2:24 am

hello anita

2:24 am

moonwoof

morning

2:24 am

grannyrose

moon, you still here?

2:25 am

moonwoof

yup! what can I do for you? I still owe you for the l word ^^

2:26 am

grannyrose

hugs would be nice...starting to fe4 a little down.

2:26 am

moonwoof

2:26 am

Lizlin

Hi all and hugs, Rose

2:27 am

grannyrose

awwww, thanx. i just realised i have been in this blessed splint for nearly 2 weeks, and it still hurts. i may be facing another lot of surgery

2:27 am

grannyrose

hey liz.have you had a good day?

2:28 am

moonwoof

Im also recovering from shoulder surgery. I empathize

2:28 am

Lizlin

Two weeks more might make the difference

2:28 am

flosey

hey there rose - big hugs, and be kind to yourself, don't push i

2:28 am

flosey

don't push it

2:28 am

moonwoof

but she's also right. 2 weeks isnt that long, depending how intrusive it was.

2:28 am

grannyrose

ouch, moon. i have had my shoulders decompressed 3 times.

2:29 am

grannyrose

thanx, flosey, dear. guess i am impatient with wanting to get on with my life.

2:29 am

moonwoof

Im not sure what decompression is, but I had to have them reattach 2 tendons cause Im an idiot =\

2:30 am

flosey

that is quite normal, just have to be a bit firm with yourself

2:30 am

moonwoof

Really tho... if I can do it so can you =)

2:30 am

flosey

hi moon, not sure I remember you, has it been a long time?

2:30 am

Lizlin

But you know flosey s right and it's what you'd say to your patients!

2:30 am

grannyrose

had that too, in fact when my surgeon did my right shoulder, he knew the tendon needed repair, and went looking for it. i had a bruise all the way past my elbow

2:31 am

Lizlin

Don't think I've met you either, moon but I've not yet been here a year!

2:31 am

grannyrose

yeah, yeah. *sigh* i hear you both.

2:31 am

moonwoof

yup. Im still a small bit bruised. I had it done 3 weeks ago tomorrow, tho, so mostly gone

2:32 am

moonwoof

Nice to meet you, liz! Ive been gone a cpl years, until a cpl of days ago =)

2:32 am

grannyrose

yay, you, moon. are you doing physio yet? or just passive exercises?

2:33 am

Lizlin

I know rose - sounds like nagging but you know it's not meant that way. Loads of sympathy!

2:33 am

moonwoof

just passives and some yoga. Pt starts this week tho and Im excited

2:34 am

grannyrose

ca4 down, moon. it isn't so easy. those muscles are going to have to be re-educated. they will be quite stiff to begin with.

2:34 am

moonwoof

i cant wait to get the little ponce off my back for trying to go too fast

2:35 am

moonwoof

Oh I know. Hence the yoga. But this is a cakewalk compared to the knee surgery I had years ago. At least I can move and stretch and such this time

2:36 am

moonwoof

And this *is* me ca4 xD

2:36 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, moon, we are more alike than you know. it was 12 months ago this month that i had a total knee replacement.

2:37 am

moonwoof

admittedly, I was much younger and less patient when I had the knee work. But this is still loads easier on my mental health

2:37 am

grannyrose

LOLOL....so this is your happy face?

2:38 am

moonwoof

yes! Im starting to get my stuf back together and Im super grateful and excited and looking forward to getting thru it

2:38 am

grannyrose

so agree...not being able to move around nearly drove me insane. just ask flosey and liz. they, amongst others, were such towers of strength for me.

2:39 am

grannyrose

good for you, moon. it is so satisfying when life hands you oranges again.

2:39 am

flosey

and rose, you've been just that for many of us in the past

2:39 am

moonwoof

I had similar support a cpl of years ago, when my life blew up. And I intent to pay it forward, if I cant pay it back. Awesum people here.

2:39 am

grannyrose

*smiling at you* thanx flosey

2:40 am

Lizlin

Thanks Rose. You do the same for everyone :) you're a good friend to everyone here.

2:41 am

grannyrose

so true, moon, so true. and that ruru always makes me laugh. i have been truly blessed by the friendships i have found here.

2:41 am

moonwoof

Agreed. I would love it if he lets me add him to my visit list next spring

2:42 am

grannyrose

awww, shucks, liz. now we will have to widen our doorways, so my head will fit through....

2:42 am

Lizlin

:)

2:42 am

moonwoof

Ru, dart and sprite are at the top of the awesum list, imo. But agreed. Love the people here, pretty much

2:43 am

Lizlin

Agree

2:44 am

grannyrose

and there's volleydee, and periwinkle and stidmama, and zoozoom, and...and...

2:45 am

moonwoof

yup. Lots of them. And it's hardly a contest, as such. i just owe some people who *really* helped at the time ^^

2:45 am

Lizlin

So many and I guess also those who babble when you and I are sleeping downunder rose!

2:45 am

grannyrose

oh, and my precious ruby...not sure if you remember her...rubyfoo, she lives in france with her grumpy hubby.

2:46 am

Lizlin

At least ruby has her dogs for company.

2:46 am

grannyrose

yes, liz, so many....

2:46 am

moonwoof

yup. She was on early last night

2:47 am

grannyrose

oh, goodie. so you caught up with her too. that's great!!!

2:48 am

moonwoof

Its been hell on doing grids quickly, but Ive enjoyed it greatly none-the-less xD

2:52 am

grannyrose

why have you had to do the grids quickly? you're not back at work yet, are you?

2:53 am

moonwoof

oh no. Just know I'll need to practice if Im ever going to beat sprite again!

2:53 am

moonwoof

Only ever managed it once, cause she's a firecracker... but it's good to have goals =D

2:54 am

grannyrose

lol, good luck with that!! she is one fast lady

2:54 am

Lizlin

I'm just happy to complete the grid.

2:55 am

moonwoof

exactly! I did it once, and it'll prolly never happen again, but oh the teasing rights!

2:56 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sprite takes ragging so well, and serves it back in spades. i love her to bits.

2:57 am

moonwoof

yup! totally worth the extra work... and I figure I should work on the chops while I can blame infirmity

2:57 am

grannyrose

good grief, liz, flip over to the ABC. check out what the weather 'girl is wearing

2:57 am

Lizlin

Omg!

2:58 am

grannyrose

you saw it??? gag me with a spoon

2:58 am

moonwoof

There are definately some grids that Im plain lucky to finish (wth was UP with agorot, anyway??) but its a fun game within the game ^^

2:59 am

Lizlin

Switched just in time. Catching up on recorded stuff while I chat and babble!

2:59 am

Lizlin

Not subtle!

2:59 am

grannyrose

moon, tv weather 'girl' was wearing a burgundy dress, with a pale blue jacket, and a necklace of pale blue 'stones'. looked ghastly

3:00 am

moonwoof

aww thats too bad. I love good color mixing

3:00 am

Lizlin

That necklace was just awful

3:00 am

joso

you make me want oz tv

3:00 am

Lizlin

It was huge!

3:00 am

grannyrose

moon, another babblet

3:00 am

grannyrose

3:00 am

grannyrose

hey up joso

3:01 am

moonwoof

well... tbh I dont know of much that can fix a bad statement neck... did I just put a word in chat? Im so sorry!

3:01 am

Lizlin

3:01 am

joso

3:01 am

moonwoof

that's wonderful, scrabs! Mine, on the other hand, are diminishing -- think I need to get some "fresh" ones :-)

5:50 am

Mine are spreading all over on their own.

5:51 am

BUT thanks to the early spring monsoons, my hydrangeas have been blooming beautifully -- have vases of them all over! :-)

5:51 am

Uneaixoise

they love wet feet :-)

5:53 am

Scrabbler

I have yet to plant hydrangeas but want to very much. I am not sure where would be best location or if they would be gobbled up by the deer.

5:56 am

Uneaixoise

they like partial shade and good dirt . . . I've been lucky -- just stuck some from Home Depot in the ground years ago and they've been happy happy happy :-)

5:58 am

Uneaixoise

don't know about the deer prob -- my only plant munchers are bunnies and they are VERY well behaved -- only snarf up dandelion greens and such :-)

5:59 am

Uneaixoise

my mom's bunnies used to give her fits eating her lily buds . . .

5:59 am

I have an area at the edge of my yard/beginning of woods, in shade of hemlocks, very wet usually.

6:07 am

my son wasted so much of his life with drugs. just breaks my heart

6:08 am

crosshair

he is in recovery now ,ivesy?

6:08 am

Scrabbler

But the young often don't want to work hard to create a life with more opportunities.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

But is he making progress, ivesy?

6:09 am

ivesy3

he is in dextox. being weaned off of suboxone. very rough period. they can only do so much..i am hoping this is the last time. i see a little bit of a difference in him. wantin it this time.

6:10 am

ivesy3

havent seen him for a week , as he is in a veteran hospital about 4 hrs away.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Baby steps. He needs to love himself and respect himself enough to move ahead and face life's challenges without drugs. Not easy. Look at alcoholism--so rampant.

6:12 am

crosshair

sorry if i was too forward there,ivesy but i remember your sons story and i have long since talked with babblers like they are family and i am of the direct and to the poin t taurus breed as well

6:13 am

ivesy3

oh no problem crossy. feel this is a place where i can be open and dont mind people asking after him.. makes me feel so not alone

6:13 am

crosshair

babble is unique and special in that regard

6:14 am

ivesy3

he needs to address his issues of his father pushing him out of his life... he is closed up on tht subject. i would like to get my ex and kick his ass

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Have him read the book, "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer. It was life-changing for me.

yes.parent can leave scars that sometimes never heal.my son and i have our ups and down but yesterday in the after grad reception,i looked at him standing there,wolfing down plates of buffet with his peers and took the moment on impulse to go over and give him a big wet sloppy kiss on his cheek.at his age it may the the last and was a fine chance to show him how proud i am

6:17 am

6:20 am

was interesting watching 500+ grads toss the caps at the end of the ceremonies..though i think they should make them round instead of square as those sharp edges sting when all that came back down

6:20 am

7:49 am

Bobby is well, left for work at 8:15 and I had a tooth pulled yesterday, decided to get an implant rather that have a 4 crown thingy. The implant is not that much more and I dont have to redo the crowns.

7:55 am

Anniebrook

wow, that was quick, congrats, dawg!!!!!

7:55 am

BzznBea

I think the implant was a smart move, Annie.

7:56 am

Anniebrook

Bea, I think so too even tho it is very expensive. I think I can pay it out. The surgeon has an execellent repuation and he is nearby.

7:57 am

BzznBea

It will also save down the road as you don't have the wear and tear on the other teeth from a bridge.

7:58 am

Anniebrook

Exactly. I would have had to sacrifice a good tooth to hold the crowns. So I decided on an implant.

8:00 am

BzznBea

This momma cat is still nursing her babies. They have to be at least 10 weeks old.

8:01 am

Wally is a male. He is inside. The momma cat is a feral cat that we are providing food and shelter.

Morning, all! Playing a bit before starting work today. How is everyone?

8:43 am

bichon

Great here Mimi.

8:44 am

MimiCat

((bichon) Back from your travels?

8:47 am

bichon

One of them. Backy from England and the Bay Area, leaving for Virginia next Thursday for a few days. Then we'll be home for 3 whole weeks

8:48 am

MimiCat

Hope you're having a great time. I'm stuck in Phoenix and it's supposed to be 118 degrees today and tomorrow and breaking heat records....ugh!

8:48 am

MimiCat

I will try to live vicariously through you!

8:50 am

bichon

118, how does one live in those temps? I'm sure even a home AC can't make a dent in that

8:50 am

bichon

To make you feel better, it's mega-humid here with way too much rain

8:51 am

MimiCat

Now that I'm in a one-bedroom apt. my a/c keeps me quite comfortable. When I had a huge house, though, it was difficult and in the summer my electric bill was almost as much as my mortgage payment.

8:51 am

bichon

And, the skeeters are voracious

8:52 am

MimiCat

I do remember the humidity and the mosquitoes and don't miss either. However, would love to get some rain. We are dangerously dry now.

8:53 am

bichon

Rain sounds great if you don't have it. But, the green stuff is growing out of control and any walk I take has to be with DEET

8:55 am

MimiCat

Mosquitoes LOVE me. Family and friends always wanted me to go anywhere outside with them because the critters would ignore them and go after me...actually got flu symptoms from the bites...just awful. None to speak of here, though. Will be grateful for that, at least.

8:56 am

bichon

There's always the risk of West Nile and Heartworm for dogs [if they haven't been treated]

8:57 am

MimiCat

We don't even have fleas here...too dry. We do, however, have ticks. We still run the risk of West Nile from the few we do have that seek the stagnant water from untended pools and such. I've been here 30 years and have only been bitten by mosquitoes 2 or 3 times total.

8:58 am

MimiCat

Funny that fleas are smart enough not to live here but not people!

8:58 am

bichon

Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes. So if you have none, then you don't have to treat the dogs or cats.

8:59 am

bichon

Allergies must be less prevelent there too, MimI?

9:01 am

MimiCat

No, allergies are TERRIBLE. People moved here from all over and brought all their plants with them. So, anything you're allergic to grows here. I am allergic to everything in nature and I'm constantly on allergy meds even though I mostly stay inside. I'm my own worst enemy, though....am allergic to cats and have 3! Am allergic to dust and there's plenty of that here. No mold to speak of, though.

9:02 am

MimiCat

phantom: esteem.

9:04 am

bichon

No mold, that sounds great. Do you have ragweed?

9:06 am

MimiCat

Yep...and the olive trees just kill me...have one right outside my bedroom window. The apt. mgt. does have the gardeners spray them down when they start to bloom to discourage the fruit from forming and that helps a bit with the allergies.

9:07 am

MimiCat

Gotta get started on my day. This is the first day I'll be transcribing the alien chipmunk doctor....must get vodka for later.....

9:09 am

MimiCat

I keep saying I should move to the North Pole because I don't think I'm allergic to snow...and, besides, it's cold and these days I look so much better with MORE clothes on!

9:10 am

periwinkle

good luck with the alien chipmunk, mimi

9:11 am

MimiCat

((peri)) Thanks. Will try more of the grid later assuming I'm still sane enough after this day. Bye and hugs all around.

{{molly} still working on your poem

9:40 am

rubyfoo

they are sending me another free coffee maker!

9:40 am

Judi

Good for you, Ruby!

9:42 am

rubyfoo

the capsules are expensive, ut it is very convenient and the coffee is always perfect

9:43 am

rubyfoo

"if you don't ask, you don't get...."

9:43 am

MollyL

Never underestimate the power of contacting Customer Service when you are unhappy with something. I have gotten a lot of free stuff that way.

9:43 am

Judi

Just curious, Ruby. Is the Nespresso made in China?

9:44 am

rubyfoo

My mother used to werite letters to companies and they would always send her stuff. Once she cut her hand opening one of those Polish canned hams and a man came in a fancy car (this was in the 50's) and delivered one to our door

9:45 am

rubyfoo

The last machine was a Krups, so I assume it's German

9:45 am

rubyfoo

previous ones were made in France

9:46 am

rubyfoo

phantom: muesli

9:46 am

MollyL

Oh hell, just looked Nespresso up. The whole deal is expensive.

9:47 am

rubyfoo

I think it's more expensive in the US. When we first started, probably 14 yrs ago, it wasn't expensive. Now the capsules cost about 50 cents/pc

9:48 am

MollyL

I don

9:48 am

MollyL

I don't think the per cup makers are for me.

9:48 am

MollyL

I have yet to have a cup from one that is strong enough. : )

9:49 am

Judi

Hell, no, Molls. I drink it by the pot.

9:49 am

rubyfoo

how much coffee does your family drink would be the operant question and is it all at the same time

9:50 am

rubyfoo

The kind we use (ristretto) is very strong if you use the small cup button and then I put in boiled milk

9:50 am

rubyfoo

when you come to France (lol), I'll make you some VERY strong coffee

9:53 am

MollyL

I grind my own beans, so the whole capsule idea doesn't work for me. But I know a lot of people who enjoy the per cup makers.

9:53 am

Judi

I'm a bean grinder too. Coffee snob. Only like what I buy.

9:54 am

MollyL

: ) My husband used to call me a Bean Snob.

9:54 am

rubyfoo

I used to do that in the old days and that's certainly the best, but this is the simplest for this household where coffee is drunk off and on all day

9:54 am

12:13 pm

MollyL

Ruby, did you see my Ruby limerick?

12:13 pm

12:14 pm

cybernan

12:15 pm

jesdraggon

12:15 pm

isn't there two strange is words?

12:18 pm

cybernan

plural for the 8

12:18 pm

penquis

should have said "aren't", lol....

12:19 pm

penquis

the i have is a plural....

12:19 pm

cybernan

then make it singular

12:19 pm

cybernan

ic 4, is 7, is 8

12:20 pm

penquis

well perhaps i have the i words....don't have any stats...i have two is words (one a plural)

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

12:21 pm

cybernan

why don't you have stats?

12:22 pm

penquis

i try to last as long as i can without them....

12:23 pm

cybernan

but you should have tile stats and word stats under the grid

12:23 pm

penquis

that is true....don't use them much...

12:24 pm

cybernan

can't imagine not using them - I even had to resort to lickety for the last 52 on this one

12:25 pm

cybernan

anyway - hagd everyone - time for me to start the day :)

12:25 pm

jesdraggon

Thanks for the clues, Nan..Have a good day.

12:26 pm

penquis

bye nan!

12:27 pm

MollyL

I don't see the difference between consulting the list and asking for clues. Both are ways of getting help.

12:30 pm

penquis

that is true....but if i keep playing on the website here, i can turn off my computer, come back hours later, and my list will reappear when i come online....can't do that with Lickety....

12:31 pm

MollyL

Then you just copy and paste your words into Lickety using the Bulk Add/Grab feature.

12:31 pm

jesdraggon

nbt :)

12:32 pm

2:55 pm

ick! how'd the game go?

2:55 pm

jmcnrick

good game but we lost. . . we won the series though and kept a big hitting team low on hits. . .

2:56 pm

not as good as in hockey were that gives you some kind of points in the standings i understand. . .

2:57 pm

sc7 pls

i thought if there was a tie at the season's end, # of runs had a bearing? never htought about that before...

no such thing as a tie in baseball. . .you play until someone wins

2:58 pm

i saw that clue this morning molls and it does nothing for me. . . probably the quaker in me. . . .

2:58 pm

MollyL

Flip-flops + rain = a bad idea. My ER nurse girlie says this time of year they get lots of injuries from people who were wearing flip-flops in the rain.

2:58 pm

TraderKate

i meant the standings when it comes time for the rankings for the world series jmc...

2:59 pm

3:04 pm

jmcnrick

3:04 pm

TraderKate

are tevas like crocs?

3:05 pm

jmcnrick

i have been driving barefoot since about 1967

3:05 pm

**jamming dental floss in between lines on my cheeks**

3:05 pm

in 1976 i flipped my 1966 VW bug upside down (i had my seatbelt on) and the battery which was in the back seat burst open and put battery acid on all the shoes i had left in my car when i had got in to drive. . .

3:07 pm

TraderKate

what was your last word? (hoping it is one of the 13 i still need...)

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

i pushed my way out of the windshield and could only find left shoes without battery acid on them. . .

3:08 pm

MollyL

*Shudders at the thought of a car flipped*

3:08 pm

so i put on a left shoe and then stood with my right foot on top of it to talk to the cop. . .

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

made me the worlds biggest supporter of seat belts since all i got was a slightly sore neck while upsidedown

3:09 pm

MollyL

This story reminds me of a Grey's Anatomy episode where they are in a plane crash and Cristina only has one shoe on. She's in shock and that is all she keeps talking about.

3:10 pm

TraderKate

we had a lot of bugs when i was a kid....loved them!

the actually most interesting part of the story was that i was on my way to drop off a poll list to the most liberal member of the Texas state legislature. . . and the man who stopped to help me was the (at that time) lone Republican on the city council. . .

3:12 pm

jmcnrick

he took the list to my friends office and they almost died from shock! i knew he would do it because he was a standup guy. . .

3:12 pm

Hello all. :-). I had to google Tevas. They haven't made it across the Atlantic yet. Fit-flops are my footwear of choice. Inaptly named, but darn comfy. JMC, I was in a terrible crash in a VW Bug in 1978. I lived to tell the tale, but have had a wonky ankle ever since. :-/

72 Temple Owl

hey wait, frarances go through trends, i used shalimar way back

4:27 pm

MollyL

<---Thinks "away camp" is no good for kids, for a lot of reasons.

4:27 pm

Soodle

Its a lovely song, isn't it Lil? I'm a huge Christy Moore fan.

4:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hate all of the new green fragrances, i like orientalsand spices

4:27 pm

MollyL

I agree. Spice based perfume makes me gag.

4:29 pm

bichon

Loved Shalimar decades ago when I wore perfume

4:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

shalimar is spicy

4:30 pm

lilliann

his voice sounded familiar to me,but i don't know whether i've heard others, but when i worked in a psychiatric hospital in teh 80's we took some patients a way for a week holiday and one of the other trained nurses was irish and she drove the mini bus alot so we had to listen to irish tapes alot and i think i might well have heard him then

4:30 pm

Soodle

Oh, I remember going through an Opium phase. A colleague remarked that he knew I was in the office, because he got into the elevator, smelled the Opium, and knew I had been there! I went home & binned my Opium!

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

remember the sparks song "perfume"?

4:32 pm

ChrissieDee

Just looked at the Merriam top 25, can't pick a favourite

4:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:32 pm

Soodle

The only Sparks song I recall is 'This Town Aint Big Enough For Both Of Us.....

4:33 pm

bichon

I don't think hubby would care if I wore perfume, he loves me for my word skills

4:33 pm

lilliann

4:33 pm

Soodle

Yay, Bich!!!!

4:34 pm

bichon

I'd love to know what dogs smell when they sniff other dogs

4:35 pm

ChrissieDee

Like Dior at the moment

4:35 pm

ChrissieDee

Think I'll pass on that experience bichon

4:36 pm

bichon

True, but it just is another enigma

4:36 pm

MollyL

I'll pass too, as they sniff each other's butts

4:36 pm

lilliann

hi bichon. well seeing as they sniff eachothers butts and other parts , i woudn't want to think about it :)

4:36 pm

Soodle

I gt a present of Jo Malone for Christmas. I love it so much, I use it very sparingly. So, if any of you find yourself in my company & smell Jo Malone...... Beware!

4:36 pm

MollyL

L and I are sharing a brain today

4:36 pm

bichon

But, they sleep in our bed...

4:38 pm

lilliann

mine doesn't, i don't have one, but saying that cats do the same thing and mine sleeps on my bed but when she goes to put her bum near me i make her turn around :)

4:38 pm

MollyL

Animal butts in my bed will never happen. Ever.

4:39 pm

lilliann

i think we are molly :)

4:39 pm

lilliann

i don't know Jo Malone molly?

4:39 pm

lilliann

sorry, i meant soodle?

4:41 pm

lilliann

she normally sleeps at the bottom of the bed but when she wants attention she'll come up and head butt me and then turn around, with me pushing her as cat's bottoms with their tails up aren't nice to look at!!

4:41 pm

Soodle

Musky, citrussy, lovely. My sister bought it for me & I love it.

4:41 pm

rururocks

animal butts?

4:41 pm

ChrissieDee

Pencil sharpeners lilli

4:42 pm

MollyL

Oh no, there is too much fruit and herb stuff in that Jo Malone stuff for me.

4:42 pm

lilliann

trust ru to turn up now? do you have an antenna for certain subjects ru?? lol

4:43 pm

lilliann

pencil sharpeners chrissie?

4:43 pm

ChrissieDee

That's what a cat's bottom looks like

4:43 pm

lilliann

i did like showtime perfume from kylie

4:44 pm

MollyL

Oh great. Now I'm getting visuals of cat's butts.

4:44 pm

ChrissieDee

The big one that was on the teachers desk

4:45 pm

lilliann

does it? i would never have said that chrissie

4:45 pm

ChrissieDee

Sorry Molls, rofl really

4:45 pm

Soodle

Eau de cats arse. Next season's essential....

4:45 pm

lilliann

the one that you use to have to turn the handle with chrissie? i can't believe i'm talking about cat's butts :) lol

4:45 pm

ChrissieDee

Not my imagery lilli, old joke

4:46 pm

bichon

My Marco has to sleep with his head next to ours. That's the law.

4:46 pm

ChrissieDee

Yep, that's it

4:46 pm

MollyL

*Decides to not eat dinner after all*

4:46 pm

Soodle

Some things, once visualised, can never be be unseen.

4:46 pm

ChrissieDee

Ok, no more cat butt talk from me

4:46 pm

lilliann

ru, do you have a joke about a cat's butt? :)

4:47 pm

ChrissieDee

let's concentrate on lilli's icon instead

4:47 pm

MollyL

*Goes to the drug store for a do it yourself lobotomy kit*

4:47 pm

lilliann

oh ok chrissie.i've never heard that joke

4:47 pm

ChrissieDee

lol Molly

4:48 pm

lilliann

aye, but you can only see a cheek of me chrissie :)

4:49 pm

ChrissieDee

oh lilli, didn't know it was you :)

4:49 pm

lilliann

well, if you're thinking of losing weight molly, we now know what to say to put you off your food :D

4:49 pm

Soodle

Frontal lobotomy, Molls? Cos, I always say, I'd sooner have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy' ..... ( the old ones are always the best ones).

4:49 pm

MollyL

I may never eat again after this conversation.

4:51 pm

lilliann

aye, but minus beard now chrissie as it wasn't a good look, i just have a bit of a moustache now when i forget to wax it..lol

4:52 pm

MollyL

I was at the bank a few weeks ago and the woman in front of me had her purse dog sitting on the counter. I just don't get why people think animal butts belong where they don't belong.

4:53 pm

lilliann

believe me, molly, i can tell you worse stories than an animals butt to put you off food, especially when i worked with people with special needs

4:53 pm

lilliann

i don't understand purse dogs. a dog should be walking and standing, not put in a bag

4:54 pm

lilliann

it's like micro pigs as pets...what is that all about??

4:55 pm

MollyL

I have no clue.

4:55 pm

ChrissieDee

You've started lilli off now Molls

4:55 pm

bichon

ca 7/40, pls

4:56 pm

lilliann

an expensive pet!!a pig is not supposed to be a pet, carried around in a bag!!

4:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

do owners refuse to see any other point of view IME, at flea markte tues trying to try on boots and owners refused to restrain their pit bull. this in 85 degree heat at 10:30 Am with many folks walking dogs on leashes. they lost my $40 sale without batting an eye.

4:56 pm

MollyL

Since I have no intention of eating anytime in the near future, y'all feel free to chime in with your hairball stories, okay?

4:56 pm

lilliann

lol chrissie, she has :D

4:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

dog looked friendly enough but i was at that point in their space, sitting on grass with shoes off. pretty vulnerable position to find out what it might do.

4:57 pm

MollyL

ca7...ca + first three of baby sheep + you and I are **

4:58 pm

MollyL

"Oh don't worry, he's friendly" was the last thing my friend heard before a dog bit her kid.

5:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

damn it those boots were brand new and my size, like a gift waiting just for me.

5:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is not the dog it is the OWNERS who refuse to recognize reality. I would not want to be around a chihuahua under those circumstances much less a pit.

5:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:01 pm

ChrissieDee

I was walking my yorkie last week when a bull terrier came bounding towards us from behind, turned around as it leapt at me. Nearly knocked me over then came again and bit my arm. Fortunately teeth slipped off my waterproof. The owner said "he just wants to play"

5:02 pm

ChrissieDee

Owner looked as rough as his dog so I was just relieved he put the lead back on and they left

5:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is the type that thinks they are not liable for their dog's behavior either. glad you are ok

5:03 pm

ChrissieDee

Was your friend's child badly hurt Molly?

5:05 pm

lilliann

some owners shouldn't have dogs has they don't treat the dogs right in the first place which is why sometimes they attack, plus some breeds are used for fighting

5:05 pm

lilliann

glad you are ok though Chrissie, it could have turned out ugly for you

5:06 pm

lilliann

you can't always bl;ame a certain breed.i know of dogs that are suppose to be categorised as a dangerous breed and

5:06 pm

lilliann

can be the softest dog going

5:07 pm

MollyL

My friend's kid had a nasty bite. It got cleaned up and stitched at the emergency room.

5:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

and is now proabbly afriad of dogs for life. what a shame

5:08 pm

ChrissieDee

Totally agree, the owners are to blame

5:08 pm

MollyL

A little bit but his parents are trying to make that go away.

5:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

lil, you ave us the ewe cam, i now give you pigy cam

5:09 pm

lilliann

our poodle years ago got attacked and nearly killed by a greyhound.we think he thought he was a rabbit.it's instinct

5:10 pm

ChrissieDee

5:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:35 pm

Anniebrook

Well, thank goodness that is over with. You can get whatever dog you would like to have as a pet. No one else's business.

Warm summer breezes are nice.

6:08 pm

lilliann

MollyL

<---Still laughing at L's f comment

6:09 pm

lilliann

6:11 pm

MollyL

*Ducks to avoid flying objects*

6:12 pm

lilliann

6:13 pm

stidgmere

Lucky you Andree!! Let the natives do the driving.

6:13 pm

Andree

I was planning a rain jacket and umbrella

6:13 pm

ChrissieDee

6:13 pm

lilliann

6:14 pm

lilliann

is that with trafalgar andree?

6:14 pm

MollyL

It's okay L. It's better than slamming two bottles of wine while playing Babble, which others have been known to do. : P

6:15 pm

ChrissieDee

Essential attire Andree

6:15 pm

Andree

with cosmos lillian, i did a trip with them last year in italy and had the most wonderful time , was worried about going alone but a great group and i did not feel at all left out

6:15 pm

lilliann

slamming bottles as in throwing them down your neck like a tequila shot?

6:16 pm

MollyL

No, like drinking them.

6:16 pm

ChrissieDee

Hope you get a great group of travelling companions again

6:16 pm

Andree

i will be away 6 weeks, 3 tours in all

6:16 pm

stidgmere

That would be a huge handicap disadvantage for me Molly I have enough trouble sober.

6:16 pm

ChrissieDee

lol gmere

6:18 pm

MollyL

When it gets to "drinking by the bottle" it's a handicap for anyone Gran Mere. : )

6:18 pm

lilliann

it's just that my hubby does best of britain and ireland and then other trips around britain in a coach andree

6:19 pm

Andree

with trafalgar lillian?

6:19 pm

lilliann

sounds great andree. if you are ever near Durham City, let me know:0

6:19 pm

ChrissieDee

That would be such a coincidence if your hubby drove Andree lilli

6:19 pm

lilliann

yes andree

6:19 pm

lilliann

wouldn't it just chrissie:)

6:20 pm

Andree

my first 2 trips are with cosmos then a cruise with avalon

6:22 pm

lilliann

well, you might well pass my hubby's coach or be parked next to it andree.in fact you'll probably see him before i do:(

6:22 pm

Andree

cosmos is a bit cheaper especially as pay the single supplement and after last year i decided that i am too old to sit in economy for 20 hours so spent some of what i saved on a business class ticket

6:23 pm

lilliann

where is the cruise andree?

6:23 pm

Andree

paris to paris on the seine

6:25 pm

lilliann

trafalgar is expensive.we get a brochure through and plus his passengers have told him how much they pay.but they do have discount ones.he's on a 21 day trip to england,wales,ireland and scotland

6:26 pm

lilliann

no, it's called a cost cutter i think?

6:26 pm

lilliann

but to cheaper hotels and not so much in a day and not as many extras

6:27 pm

lilliann

i don't blame you for upgrading your flight. it's a long flight so be spoilt :)

6:28 pm

Andree

ha ha lillian sounds like a cosmos tour, but i am not going so i can spend time in a fancy hotel

6:29 pm

lilliann

i hope you have a lovely time in paris on your cruise.i'm going to lurkdom now as no-one else is talking:)

6:29 pm

Andree

bye lillian, i must go get dressed for the day

6:31 pm

lilliann

i agree with a low cost hotel as we only sleep in the room.it's been great seeing you again andree, have a great day and tc

6:31 pm

ChrissieDee

Night night all, I'm diving into the grid too to see if I can pick off a few more words before sleep. Thanks for the giggles :)

I love playing with words but have never been good at writing verse!

6:44 pm

lilliann

i nedd to duck behind the bushes now in my trench coat and find some more words(molly said that about me) hehe :D

6:44 pm

MollyL

Mine was kind of low brow, but what would you expect from The Bane Of Babble?

6:44 pm

ChrissieDee

To be fair Molly, I've had a lot of support from all you lovely babblers during recent dark times, hope I didn't pull the chog down too much

6:44 pm

Lizlin

OoooH! Lilli in a trench coat!

6:44 pm

Lizlin

Chrissie - I think that most of us like to support each other, when needed :)

6:45 pm

lilliann

chrissie, no-one can pull the chog down too much.the actual people on here are very caring and will always be behind other true babblers.so shut up :)

6:45 pm

MollyL

I get that Chrissie and I'm glad you got support when you needed it.

6:45 pm

bichon

I try not to bring any woes I have here.

6:46 pm

ChrissieDee

Shutting up....

6:46 pm

Lizlin

But if you did, Bichon, we'd try to support.

6:46 pm

bichon

I know that. Maybe I will

6:47 pm

lilliann

well, sometimes here is the best place to bring them bichon, even if it is a day that you are just feeling down,we'll try and make it a better day for you

6:48 pm

ChrissieDee

Laughter is the best medicine

6:49 pm

lilliann

6:51 pm

ChrissieDee

6:51 pm

rururocks

*pinches lillian's butt icon*

6:52 pm

ChrissieDee

6:54 pm

Lizlin

6:54 pm

lilliann

7:45 pm

lilliann

i want some chickens but i don't kn ow if the neighbours would complain, saying that the dogs around here are noisier than hens but i have a cat who would probably sit infront of the pen and frighten them to death. plus we get foxes and alot of other cats, but, then, my cousin lives near woods and she has cats and her hens lay eggs all the time

7:45 pm

MollyL

I've heard raising chickens is a smelly business

Andree

my friend who has chickens often brings me eggs, so delicious

7:47 pm

lilliann

7:47 pm

gapeach

When you are 7 or 8 years old and have to walk barefoot through the chicken yard....let me tell you, it is NOT a pleasant experience. Been there.

Oh, lilliann, Kentucky is a state sort of middle eastern part of the country. Lots of farms and animals and a lot of people are brilliant but there are some who still drive to the telephone company and the utilities and pay cash for everything. I do love them.

7:53 pm

lilliann

The only spanking my foster father ever gave me was over a big white rooster.....now Dad was an elderly man and it took him quite some time to get the rooster into the coal house (to pen him there while he got the axe), well, now I didn't particulary like the rooster but Lord, he was the only one we had and what about the hens.....so I sneaked in there and let the rooster out. Spanked my bottom....hurt my feelings more than anything.

7:57 pm
