it may be the sleepiness talking, but this grid doesn't seem very friendly... i was at it for a while at the flip.

we weren't invited, molly, but thanks. I would be the soul of support and discretion in front of my children.

9:54 am

crosshair

smile ,judi and the whole world smiles with you:)

9:55 am

MollyL

Yes, you were not invited. Crashing it is part of the fun in this evil scenario. I'm sure you would be "kind" for your kids sake.

9:55 am

Trifioso

luckily I WAS with valentine when mr hate called, and he was a rock. He helped me think it through, feel it through, etc. To be honest, I really don't know how I feel. mostly I just felt....nothing. which I am taking as a very good sign. I am happy for them. really.

Ah, a much, much better weekend than spending it at the ex's wedding.

9:59 am

Trifioso

god, I hope so ruru. I really frigging hope so.

10:02 am

Trifioso

and I agree molly. I just hope the kids are going to be okay. I am 100% of their emotional support.

10:03 am

Judi

Color me shocked. "crawdad" is not accepted.

10:03 am

Judi

Only one A, that's why.

10:04 am

MollyL

Kids seem to be fine with the "second choices" their parents make, as long as their parents seem happy.

10:05 am

MollyL

I've seen it go the other way, but that is when the parents were not done with the baggage from the first, failed relationship.

10:05 am

Trifioso

I hope so molly. The man mr hate is marrying HATES kids, and girls in particular, so it's never been a comfortable fit....

10:06 am

rururocks

oh jeezus

10:06 am

MollyL

Trif, your girls need a good relationship with their Dad. The step-dad-to-be is just an add on.

10:06 am

Judi

Sounds like a marriage to be made in hell.

10:06 am

Trifioso

whatever. it's between them, not me. I just want them to be okay, tertiare in particular.

10:06 am

FW

10:06 am

crosshair

well,when he marries Mr Hate,he is marrying the entire family,so he better get used to the idea

10:07 am

Trifioso

I agree molly. but my husband in law is ALWAYS present. mr hate doesn't do anything without him, even with the kids.

10:07 am

rururocks

yeah he stuck his .. never mind

10:07 am

MollyL

Having a relationship with someone who was not invested in my kids would be a no go for me.

10:08 am

crosshair

part of the package

10:08 am

rururocks

congrats kje

10:08 am

rururocks

but you should have waited for me

10:08 am

crosshair

yaaa for kje!!

10:08 am

Trifioso

me too. and valentine has MORE than delivered in that ar4. he LOVES kids, he was a great dad to his own when they were younger (they are adults now) and bonus: he ALWAYS wanted daughters, never got any, and fairly DOTES on mine, which they love.

10:09 am

Trifioso

huzzah for kje!

10:09 am

Aloyisius

yay, kje!

10:09 am

And not for nothin' but it sounds like a very insecure relationship between the ex and his new guy.

10:09 am

Judi

He sounds like a true gem, Trif!

10:09 am

crosshair

"sounds like a good man,trif

10:09 am

Trifioso

I have given up trying to figure it out, molly. truly. it's their business now, not mine. I just protect my children, and hope for the best.

10:10 am

crosshair

how old are your children,trif,if you do not mind me asking?

10:10 am

Judi

However, we'll need to see his picture and a CV to advise you properly.

10:10 am

Trifioso

okay, honest truth: my first thought was (and I am NOT proud of this) "I wonder if I can ask for more child support once they are married, as their incomes will be joined"

10:10 am

Trifioso

not at all crossy! Primo is 20, secondo is a week away from 17, and tertiare turned 14 last week.

10:11 am

Trifioso

hmmmm. not sure about the photo thing, but I will see whatI can do....

10:12 am

MollyL

Couples who are attached at the hip, and can do nothing without the other one present, have issues.

10:13 am

Judi

So girls, get you hip reduction sooner rather than later.

10:48 am

uusue2

pretty good, crossy, enjoying my first day of retirement (although I have a student defending his dissertation this afternoon)

10:48 am

crosshair

have you seen suze? NASA is asking the public to help design equipment and groups to track asteroids in the near eath catagory since they only have 5% of those under the largest size pinpointed and tracked

10:48 am

crosshair

yaa for retirement!

10:48 am

uusue2

that is cool, crossy, a lot of things like asteroids and comets are first observed by amateur astronomers

10:49 am

crosshair

they want to try and capture an asteroid soon as well

10:49 am

crosshair

catch and study and rel;ease

10:49 am

uusue2

they've visited a couple of asteroids already, very interesting

10:50 am

crosshair

most interesting is they have uncoverd some radiation isses that would halt a manned mission to mars and they are now developing a star trek type 'shield" for the transport vehicle

10:54 am

crosshair

"seens during the travel to mars,the astronauts can expect to be exposed to a radiation level equal 100 times what we would be exposed to in one year here on earth

10:55 am

crosshair

"and that is not good,considering the length of the voyage

10:55 am

uusue2

yes, that is an even worse problem for interstellar travel; you go fast enough (assuming you want to get there in some finite amount of time) that the stray atoms between the stars hit you with enough energy to be dangerous

10:58 am

crosshair

how is frank doing these days,suze?

11:13 am

uusue2

oops, went away for a bit. Frank is doing ok, still struggling with chemo side effects (especially the runs). Hoping it all eases up soon.

11:14 am

crosshair

11:14 am

11:16 am

MollyL

Oh, I thought you had plans to go see your Dad and then up into Canada.

11:16 am

TraderKate

11:39 am

Erda

Nan: to make a rotary phone call again, but drop the last letter

11:39 am

11:39 am

TraderKate

TraderKate

well, get printin' gurl.....

11:44 am

crosshair

i have a sheet of our now defunct 2 dollar bills:)

11:45 am

rubyfoo

I started collecting US ones when postage was 8 cents and then everytime I had an extra couple of dollars, I'd buy another. I thought it was a valuable collection, but my son and I looked it up and it's only Worth about double the face value

11:45 am

TraderKate

i just put aside a five and ten dollar bill brand new... we'll be all stoooopid plastic bills by fall :(

11:46 am

cybernan

I hope you aren't waiting for them to be worth more than face value, crossy -- we got the sheet of ones and that is still their value

11:46 am

MollyL

Ruby, my kids have proof sets too, not worth as much as I thought they would be by now.

11:46 am

rubyfoo

when my father still had the candy store, now and then we'd find indian head pennies or wartime steel ones

11:47 am

TraderKate

i had some of those steel ones!

11:47 am

rubyfoo

but they're beautiful to look at, n'est-ce pas, Molly?

11:47 am

crosshair

indeed,cybernan.there was too much warning and everyone has one.however i do own a 4 block of 1925 25 cent shinplasters

11:47 am

MollyL

Unless you find a very ra4, out of print coin, most of them are not worth much.

11:48 am

crosshair

it is all in the grade,mint production and rarity molly.i have been collecting for 20 years now

11:48 am

crosshair

and error coins of course and varriants

11:49 am

TraderKate

11:49 am

11:50 am

rubyfoo

or is thatmoseyed

11:51 am

crosshair

it happens when they are ready to switch production and the hopper that held the blanks was not checked properly

11:51 am

TraderKate

the latter i think ruby ;) like journeyed

11:52 am

crosshair

then there are clipped coins that get a bite taken out of them during stamping

11:52 am

rubyfoo

11:59 am

11:59 am

cybernan

sounds good, molly, but doesn't work

11:59 am

TraderKate

12:47 pm

periwinkle

hi hego, hi all. I am trying to declog the bathroom drain with no success. Have tried baking soda and vinegar with hot water 2x and draino once. water still sitting in the sink

12:48 pm

periwinkle

tough grid for me

12:48 pm

hego

spelling isn't important in the chog, but in the game it's kind of key.

12:48 pm

hego

Peri, did you plunge?

12:49 pm

periwinkle

yes, many times before the other attempts

12:49 pm

hego

uh oh

12:49 pm

TraderKate

can you get a snake peri?

12:49 pm

periwinkle

I also used a "snake" and pulled up some gunk, eww

12:49 pm

hego

eeewwwww.......

12:49 pm

periwinkle

I gave it my best shot

12:49 pm

TraderKate

keep using it peri, there msut be more down there

12:50 pm

TraderKate

you may need a longer snake?

12:50 pm

periwinkle

I am not the only one who uses this bathroom and no one noticed the water was going down slowly!!!

12:50 pm

MollyL

Peri, are you using the Drain Max Clog Remover?

12:50 pm

TraderKate

you could also try opening the p trap

12:50 pm

Deeha

I had a clogged shower drain. Called a plumber. But before he came I had a rack above drain where I kept shampoos etc. I always keep them upside down so they run quicker. I forgot to put the top on my Johnsons body wash and the whole lot drained away - but oddly it cleared the blockage. So be careful what you put on your skin!!!!

12:51 pm

periwinkle

Drain full clog destroyer. claims to clear clogs in 7minutes!! hah!

12:51 pm

periwinkle

p trap?

12:51 pm

MollyL

Nope. Any max drain clog remover has to sit in the drain for hours.

12:51 pm

TraderKate

put some in at bed time and clear it in the morning.. a good over night soaking should do it

12:52 pm

periwinkle

I am afraid to use it again since I do not want the sink to overflow

12:52 pm

TraderKate

the loopy part of the drain pipe usually directly under the sink - has a big nut on it to unscrew

12:53 pm

TraderKate

you should bail out the sink - but don't put the water in the toilet!!!

12:53 pm

periwinkle

I just checked and the water went down, YAY for me!!

12:53 pm

TraderKate

<----- peri the plumber :)

1:01 pm

TraderKate

wish there were more of us in the east... surprisingly few considering the population

1:04 pm

hego

st 7 40, can't believe it!

1:05 pm

TraderKate

made me think of stidgemere

1:05 pm

hego

??

1:05 pm

MollyL

: O st7/40 made you think of Gran Mere??

1:06 pm

TraderKate

the st 7 40, sounds kind of like a nickname
....would you pervies prefer to return to yesterday's chog and say it reminded me of someone else? LOLOLOL

1:07 pm

hego

hmmm.... missed that one.

1:08 pm

MollyL

I'm pretty sure Gran Mere is nothing about a st4.
*Thinks Kate needs to flush the brain cells*

1:08 pm

TraderKate

pass me that drain max stuff please ;)

1:09 pm

MollyL

Pervies??

1:09 pm

hego

giggle

1:09 pm

hego

She is a doll actually, and with a great sense of humor.

1:09 pm

toadandtoadette

any other clues for ST7/40

1:10 pm

hego

sounds like what you do for an exam.

1:10 pm

hego

but spelled very differently.

1:11 pm

MollyL

Well built men, plural. Weird spelling.

1:11 pm

MollyL

Oh sorry, not a plural.

1:12 pm

MollyL

st + your wet ground is m****er than mine.

1:12 pm

toadandtoadette

that's an odd word

1:13 pm

MollyL

Yes, there are lots of them in Babble grids.

1:13 pm

hego

Well it is to me.

1:14 pm

hego

definition says slithy, not sure about that either lol.

1:15 pm

MollyL

Twas bryllyg, and ye slythy toves
Did gyre and gymble in ye wabe

1:16 pm

hego

Yes! That's where I've heard that before!

1:16 pm

hego

I knew it was familiar!

1:16 pm

hego

What's a momrath?

1:17 pm

periwinkle

peri the plumber :)

1:17 pm

MollyL

You need to be on LSD to understand Lewis Carroll

1:18 pm

hego

lol, poor Peri.

1:18 pm

hego

Molly, I think so.

1:18 pm

periwinkle

I used the draino again just to ensure that the drain was clear

1:18 pm

hego

and is it?

1:18 pm

periwinkle

Yes!!

1:19 pm

MollyL

*Puts an iced gin and tonic with a fresh lime garnish in front of Peri*

1:19 pm

hego

Hooray!!!

1:19 pm

TraderKate

momrath = anger of a mother

1:19 pm

hego

she deserves it

1:19 pm

MimiCat

And I need to be on SOMETHING to transcribe this totally nuts doctor!!! Hi, all.

1:19 pm

periwinkle

thanks, Molls. and I already had one.

1:19 pm

hego

Good Kate, very good.

1:19 pm

hego

Hi Mimi.

1:19 pm

periwinkle

yours sounds better. I do not have any fresh limes. need to buy some.

1:20 pm

MollyL

See...LSD...and you thought that was chocolate Kate was eating.

1:20 pm

periwinkle

oh dear, how did your first day go, Mimi?

1:20 pm

MimiCat

((hego))

1:20 pm

TraderKate

sorry i dropped out there, went to feed the birdies and make a cuppa. such a luxury not to e pressed for time!

1:20 pm

hego

good for you Kate.

1:21 pm

MollyL

Kate, you are allowed to go live your life. No apologies needed.

1:21 pm

TraderKate

{{{(((mimi)))}}}
haven't seen you for a few days! how's the new job going?

1:21 pm

periwinkle

106 ;eft

1:21 pm

MimiCat

Last week was fine...no crazy doctor...but had to start doing some of hers yesterday and today.....this woman is completely NUTS. I only have to try to do 10 of her reports a day, thank goodness, otherwise, I might lose my will to live.

1:21 pm

TraderKate

go, peri, go!!!!

1:21 pm

periwinkle

my cat is back in the closet :(

1:22 pm

MimiCat

After I do those ten, I can move on to the normal doctor and actually make some money.

1:22 pm

TraderKate

is cat unsure of his/her sexuality?

1:22 pm

hego

lmao

1:22 pm

MollyL

My cat is back in the closet? Is that like Grandma is on the roof?

1:22 pm

periwinkle

haha, no cat. she usually does that when she is not feeling well

1:22 pm

MimiCat

LOL, Kate...I was thinking exactly the same thing!

1:22 pm

hego

love that joke

1:23 pm

TraderKate

perhaps mimi would like some of the aforementioned LSD to cope with said crazy woman?

1:23 pm

periwinkle

maybe the crazy doctor is on speed or something

1:23 pm

MimiCat

Am hoping to get vodka later if I can find a ride to the store. Still too hot here to walk even across the street.

1:24 pm

periwinkle

bl

1:24 pm

TraderKate

maybe doctor is not really a doctor, but plays one on tv?

1:24 pm

MollyL

Love it. Better than bs. : D

1:24 pm

MimiCat

Peri, she actually does sound like she's on something...not only does she talk too fast (thus, the alien chipmunk reference from me) but she slurs her words and says "T" all the time for no reason.

1:24 pm

hego

I'd brave the heat for a drink, though.

1:25 pm

TraderKate

bye peri :)
you've been baking there for ages mimi, time to look at moving to that little cottage you and crossy want

1:25 pm

hego

uh oh, doc sounds highly unreliable.

1:25 pm

MimiCat

I would if I could, hego, but have to be careful with my heart condition.

1:26 pm

TraderKate

ocd and tourettes will both display like that...

1:26 pm

hego

true Mimi.

1:26 pm

MimiCat

You're so right, Kate. Am starting to look in northern CA (so I can bug ruru), Idaho, Colorado and here in the mountains. Can't move until next year, though.

1:27 pm

MimiCat

Kate, you're right, I need to modify her nickname to "alien chipmunk with OCD and Tourette's on drugs."

1:27 pm

TraderKate

when a girl can't even get a vodka fix because it's too hot by opening time, it's high time to move ;)

1:28 pm

hego

somewhere cool.

1:28 pm

TraderKate

does she also have a "crazed look" (actual medical term, lol) in her eye?

1:28 pm

MimiCat

And without pollen, dust, etc. Need to move to the North Pole because it's cold and I don't think I'm allergic to snow.

1:29 pm

MimiCat

Don't know, Kate, will never meet her. I work for a service here and the dr. is in Colorado. I'd frankly be a bit afraid to meet her...just imagine being her patient!

1:29 pm

hego

My fingers are tired......

1:29 pm

MollyL

Some doctors say "tee" for transesophageal echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiogram.

1:29 pm

TraderKate

you don't want to come east then, too much ragweed here.... unless you want to go to nova scotia? canada would love to have you!

1:30 pm

MimiCat

Yes, but that would make too much sense. Besides, she only does women's exams like mammo and such. She says T for absolutely no reason at all....constantly.

1:31 pm

MimiCat

I ADORE Canada and have thought many times about moving.

1:31 pm

MollyL

Hmm

1:32 pm

TraderKate

i knew someone who said "dween" all the time too... i'm sure she didn't even realize it... at first i thought she was eliding "do you know what i mean", but it was out of context for that most of the time...

1:32 pm

MimiCat

Gotta get back to work...at least I'm done with the alien today...now I can transcribe the better dr. and get some reports out so I can make some money...I get paid per page.

1:32 pm

MimiCat

Sobering to think that we Babble people are the sane ones in the world, isn't it?!!

1:32 pm

TraderKate

bye mimi, make lots of cash... gotta get the liquor store to deliver your viodka, and that costs ;)

1:33 pm

MimiCat

Actually have some coming on Thurs. with my grocery order! Bye, Kate. Hugs all around.

1:33 pm

hego

my liquor store delivers.

1:33 pm

hego

I've never used the service though.

1:34 pm

TraderKate

take care mimi, maybe see you later tonight :)

1:34 pm

TraderKate

aredi

1:35 pm

TraderKate

oops, monkey is mis-behaving ;)

1:35 pm

MollyL

Liquor store delivery...I have stories about that from recovering alcoholics I know...probably not fit for Babble chat. : )

1:36 pm

hego

too bad.

1:36 pm

TraderKate

do tell!

1:36 pm

MollyL

Yeah, well people get offended here too easily. They are funny though.

1:37 pm

hego

not Kate and I.he he

1:38 pm

TraderKate

:D

1:39 pm

hego

unfortunately, i must go. bbl

1:39 pm

TraderKate

bye hego :)

1:39 pm

flosey

hi everyone, back to get the last 93 words - hopefully

1:40 pm

TraderKate

hi flosey :)

1:40 pm

flosey

hi Kate

1:41 pm

TraderKate

it just started raining here :(
weather network was not calling for it....

1:41 pm

flosey

ah, nasty

1:41 pm

TraderKate

mother ature is going to blow out canada's birthday candles... BOOOOO!

1:42 pm

TraderKate

nature

1:42 pm

flosey

it's cooler here today than yesterday, was quite hot

1:42 pm

flosey

bridge tonight as usual, so will miss the fireworks

1:43 pm

TraderKate

jill was off to bridge yesterday, must be nice to have a bunch of people to play with!

1:43 pm

flosey

we lived in Aurora 1965 - 1995, (Canada's Birthday Town) they had a parade up Yonge Street every July 1st

1:44 pm

flosey

ah yes, Jill has a 4some Saturday afternoon

1:44 pm

flosey

I often spare in a Friday afternoon game

1:45 pm

flosey

that af5 is an odd word, haven't seen it before

1:45 pm

TraderKate

they still hold that parade flosey as far as i know!
i miss bridge, though i haven't played since college - don't know anyone who plays (and i've probably forgotten every convention i ever knew)

1:46 pm

flosey

We had a fair sized club in Aurora but guess that's too far for you

1:46 pm

TraderKate

it is odd flo, think i saw it once means arabian demon or monster

1:46 pm

flosey

am surprized you wouldn't have an ACBL game in your town, Kate

1:47 pm

TraderKate

aurora is ages away for me flo, i'm down at the end of the QEW now - right at the peace bridge

1:47 pm

TraderKate

ACBL?

1:47 pm

flosey

American Contract Bridge League

1:48 pm

flosey

it's big, and they have tournaments all over creation

1:48 pm

flosey

but also lots of duplicate games around - that's a great way to improve your game

1:49 pm

TraderKate

ah! they may, but i just don't know about it. hesitate to contact the seniors' or ever 50's clubs in town, not ready to accept that i'm not getting any younger ;)

1:50 pm

TraderKate

i used ot follow the duplicate bridge column in the paper, but gave up onit years ago. i used to play contract bridge - but an absolute tyro...

1:51 pm

flosey

phone brb

1:54 pm

TraderKate

burning school houses, sparklers, pin wheels, and screamers!!!! woot :)

1:56 pm

flosey

that was a dear friend from Greece - calling to wish us happy Canada Day

1:56 pm

flosey

we had promised to visit Greece this year but, unfortunately, don't feel that we could stand the lengthy flight

1:58 pm

TraderKate

what a kind friend to remember you today :)
did they used to live in canada?

1:58 pm

flosey

she taught with hubby for a few years and became very good friends

1:59 pm

flosey

her family moved to Toronto, so she visits from time to time

1:59 pm

TraderKate

could you stand the flight to britain? about 5 hours... then stay over for a few days before continuing on - or go overland by train/ boat to complete the journey?

2:00 pm

flosey

think hubby is just not up to any lengthy travel

2:00 pm

TraderKate

i don't think i'd like to be in greece in the summer - i'd melt! and they are having a lot of civil unrest due to economy...

2:00 pm

flosey

I'd love to do it as a cruise but hubby would find that tiresome

2:01 pm

TraderKate

then, finances permitting, how about a nice leisurely cruise :)

2:01 pm

flosey

no, we went a couple times during March break - way back, when we were younger, hahaha

2:02 pm

TraderKate

i'll go with you! though i have seen most of europe, i have not seen any of the mediterranean.. would love to see italy, spain, portugal and most of all greece (archaeology nut) herculaneum is on my bucket list...

2:03 pm

flosey

we did Spain one year, beautiful country

2:04 pm

TraderKate

... and great food from what i hear! (though, unfortunately, i don't care for seafood)

2:04 pm

TraderKate

where did you go?

2:05 pm

flosey

saw a bullfight - briefly, left in disgust

2:06 pm

TraderKate

i don't think i could stand that either flo, can't stand to see an animal in distress. not even these so-called no kill ones...

2:06 pm

flosey

south coast - Marbella(spelling?) and Torramalias - whew, there again can't remember - that was way back

2:07 pm

TraderKate

so did you get some quality beach time in? it sounds great :)

2:07 pm

flosey

while there took a day trip over to northmost tip of Africa - memory is really pretty vague, but enjoyed it all

2:07 pm

flosey

no, no beach time - we were travelling with students

2:08 pm

TraderKate

morroco i guess? did you see a casbah?

2:08 pm

TraderKate

go tho rick's ar ?

2:09 pm

TraderKate

bar

2:10 pm

flosey

yes, we could easily have lost one of our 'girls' - someone tried to get her in between the carpets that were hanging in rows -- fortunately she screamed

2:10 pm

flosey

no bar hopping with students

2:10 pm

TraderKate

do you need any stats or clues flosey? i have actually finished :))

2:10 pm

TraderKate

oh, i assumed college kids, guess you mean high schoolers?

2:10 pm

flosey

have 91 to go, but thanks, I'll just putter through here, not worry about finishing

2:11 pm

flosey

ar5?

2:11 pm

flosey

no just monkeyed it

2:11 pm

flosey

I find, if I go away from it, come back and it there, right before my eyes!

2:12 pm

TraderKate

scary to think what can happen in a strange country with a very different culture... a member of our tour group had a similar experience with a local in the ukraine...

2:13 pm

flosey

wow, really have to be alert - but especially when travelling with students

2:14 pm

TraderKate

it does help to move on, rather than get stuck on one word when there are so many others to find. taking 5 minutes also brings out the fishies ;)

2:14 pm

flosey

one night hubby, a nun and a police officer had to go out searching for a girl - she had met up with someone from her home country, found them in a bar

2:15 pm

TraderKate

this was a university student tour - i htink she was preyed upon because she could not remain to give testimony (she was raped)

2:15 pm

flosey

oh dear, how horrible

2:15 pm

TraderKate

...irrevernce here - sounds like the start of a joke...
a poiceman, a nun, and my husband walked into a bar...

2:16 pm

flosey

what a terrible memory for such a wonderful trip

2:16 pm

flosey

lol

2:16 pm

TraderKate

it was very traumatic to say the least... but to lighter subjects !

2:16 pm

flosey

one spoke Spanish, one French and, of course, hubby who speaks only English

2:16 pm

flosey

and a smattering of German

2:17 pm

flosey

He took German because it was the easiest language to learn (needed to get into U)

2:17 pm

TraderKate

i don't have a word of spanish or portuguese... remnants of german from the late 60's when i lived there, and of course, "cereal box" french ;)

2:18 pm

flosey

hope we're not tying up the chat - in case someone is looking for clues

2:18 pm

TraderKate

i agree, if you are an english speaker german is the closest to our own language... though i read somewhere that there is a much more uncommon language that is closer...

2:19 pm

TraderKate

i think all the lurkerz are AWOL atm.... everyone is out and about "doing important thing" ;)

2:19 pm

flosey

oh, there is something more important?

2:20 pm

TraderKate

clues - get your clues here! stats - we got 'em! step right up, don't be shy!!!!

2:20 pm

flosey

ha ha ha

2:20 pm

TraderKate

there is nothing more important than babble.....

2:20 pm

flosey

ca5/12? first one

2:21 pm

TraderKate

how do you measure your diamond?

2:21 pm

flosey

2:21 pm

TraderKate

i didn't see that one for the longest time... i had listed efore i got it!

2:22 pm

flosey

I'm listing now, need second ca6 and 7,

2:22 pm

TraderKate

hmmmm i keep missing my b's. *lazy typist*

2:23 pm

dianedecoder

you do it to wool

2:23 pm

flosey

I think that's the first one diane, but thanks

2:23 pm

TraderKate

sounds like the start of medicalese for heart and greek it up for the pl

2:23 pm

flosey

immediately after those

2:24 pm

dianedecoder

okay.... saw an earlier ca 6 ... sorry

2:24 pm

dianedecoder

same beginning.... think of "arrest" of the heart

2:24 pm

saanichcat

flosey, to do with the heart, often begins with 'tachy'

2:24 pm

dianedecoder

without the "c" on the end

2:24 pm

TraderKate

welcome back diane :)

2:25 pm

TraderKate

hi saan :)

2:25 pm

flosey

that did it, thanks Diane

2:25 pm

dianedecoder

2:25 pm

2:25 pm

saanichcat

2:27 pm

dianedecoder

2:27 pm

flosey

yes Diane, it is also my BD

2:28 pm

TraderKate

oh, i'm not watching... are they still playing the red sox? i wass so caught up with the hockey, i haven't switched gears to baseball yet... usually wait until the all star break.

2:28 pm

dianedecoder

That is what I meant :-)

2:28 pm

flosey

oh, you remember, thank you

2:28 pm

dianedecoder

They are playing the Tigers today...I think it might be a double header.

2:28 pm

TraderKate

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DE7/32 FLOSEY!!!!

flosey

2:29 pm

2:31 pm

TraderKate

<---- lounging about in pj's cum casual wear... blaming it on the rain ;)

2:31 pm

flosey

thanks Diane, so you saw the roses son Gord sent

2:32 pm

flosey

Allison (daughter) called quite early this morning - we had lots of giggles

2:34 pm

dianedecoder

I just received the most beautiful gift from China... we took care of the neighbor's yard when they went to China to bring home a wee orphan girl. It is a miniature lacquered , hand painted ,folding screen as in room divider! It is so beautiful and I will post a picture or two on Facebook.

2:35 pm

TraderKate

sounds beautiful diane!

2:35 pm

flosey

wow, how lovely Diane - what a beautiful gift - will look for it - or, you might add it to your pics here in your babble bio

2:39 pm

dianedecoder

The Great Panda is the theme and it is painted on both sides of 6 hinged panels.

2:39 pm

dianedecoder

yes... I could add it to Flikr photos.
Flsey, I am not seeing a picture of your roses :-(

2:39 pm

dianedecoder

*flosey*

2:40 pm

flosey

that was in a FB message from my son, Diane

2:40 pm

dianedecoder

okay

2:40 pm

TraderKate

<---- adores pandas - did you know the toronto zoo got a pair from china recently? on loan for 10 years - 5 here and 5 in calgary@!

2:40 pm

sammysmom

2:41 pm

flosey

2:51 pm

dianedecoder

3:14 pm

lbdawger

found it. to get married again.

3:14 pm

hego

i'm loving all these free re's.

3:14 pm

hurshy

ahhhh thanks!

3:15 pm

hurshy

why can't you rewoo someone? i mean there are people who get divorced and then marry the same person over again, so they must rewoo them.

3:16 pm

hego

only way.

3:16 pm

TraderKate

we must get spritey to add it to her list of "outa be words"

3:17 pm

MollyL

Maybe because if you have wooed once and failed, to woo again is for naught.

3:18 pm

hurshy

but what about what i just described, molls?

3:19 pm

hego

I've been rewooed.

3:19 pm

TraderKate

agree with hurshy - just cause marriage busted up, doesn't mean initial wooing wasn't successful... successive wooing to regain the lady love would be a rewooing... but perhaps hyphenated?

3:19 pm

hurshy

and there's hego with the voice of ACTUAL EXPERIENCE!

3:19 pm

hego

But Molly is right, it was for naught.

3:20 pm

TraderKate

lol, i've been rued ;)

3:20 pm

hurshy

oh

3:20 pm

MollyL

If at first you don't succeed, woo, woo again

3:20 pm

hego

lolol

3:20 pm

TraderKate

woo, woo, woooootttt!

3:20 pm

hego

TraderKate

corriander, basil, rosemary, garlic, onionpowder, crushed chilis, sage, poultry seasoning, paprika, parsley, fennel, cinnamon, tumeric, nutmeg, the list goes on and on... but can i find my jerk seasoning????
NOOOOOOO! harrumph!

3:27 pm

hego

mix all those together.

3:27 pm

hurshy

just get on the highway - plenty of jerks there.

3:27 pm

no one will know the difference.

So true Hursh.

Hello all -- just had a call from flosey. Their power went out right after she asked for a clue to re6, and it won't be back until about 5:30 grid time. She didn't want you all to think she was just being rude!

3:28 pm

jillibus

MollyL

And now Wooter is gone again. Whoosh!

3:48 pm

hego

Oh, that wooter!

3:49 pm

MollyL

She is apparently very popular and must respond to her fans. : D

3:49 pm

TraderKate

thanks ddawg.
i am also trying to delete thousands of e-mails....facebook spam... i'm drowning in them!

3:49 pm

hego

I do that twice a day.

3:50 pm

MollyL

Thousands of emails? No spam filter?

3:50 pm

i do that once a day.thanfully gmail seperates them for me for regular email

3:56 pm

TraderKate

if i go onto fb and try to find my way around, i could turn off some of the "notifications" which would help immeasurably...but not having lots of time when on-line, it tend to pput it off in favour of a bit more babbling time - which i'm sure you all understand...

3:57 pm

crosshair

of course we do.fb settings is a nightmare of hundreds of teeny tiny boxes to check and uncheck,and that is how they like it

3:59 pm

crosshair

their product is people and information and they want as much of us to sell as possible

3:59 pm

MollyL

I'm not on Facebook much. From what I've heard, the more time you spend there, the more junk mail you get. Especially if you have a lot of Facebook sites "liked" or that you play games on.

4:00 pm

fb definatly has it's issues

4:03 pm

That's British poop. Or poo, as they call it.

Weedless In New England

4:14 pm

crosshair

sounds like a movie

4:14 pm

Trifioso

unless you need the OTHER kind of weed, molly - that you can get here :)

4:14 pm

hurshy

or a really weird double entendre

4:14 pm

Trifioso

with a doctors note, of course

4:14 pm

crosshair

about someone in new england who lost their stash

4:14 pm

MollyL

Oh of course *cough* with a *cough* doctor's note *cough*

4:16 pm

hurshy

it is pretty ridiculous NOT to allow medical use - i mean it's got much fewer side effects than other meds for similar purposes and works better...

4:16 pm

Trifioso

not that I would know a thing about it. seriously. That particular form of recreation was just never my thing. but I don't judge.

4:16 pm

hurshy

i know about it from reading bioethics stuff.

4:16 pm

crosshair

agreed,hurshy

4:17 pm

crosshair

some of the chemicals they make in labs for our maladies are much more toxic

4:17 pm

Jillyjill

Done with emails....now to babble for awhile!

4:17 pm

Trifioso

welcome jilly!

4:18 pm

crosshair

wb jilly:)

4:18 pm

MollyL

Herbal medicine, and that is herbal medicine, is many times better than chemical medicine.

4:18 pm

crosshair

agreed again

4:18 pm

MollyL

Wooter is back. Woot!

4:18 pm

hurshy

my new favorite medicine however is chemical - topamax.

4:18 pm

Trifioso

Im not sure, molly. i Have been having a persistent medical problem all year, and the herbal remedies just aren't helping. I pretty much have to go with traditional meds, and it's really bumming me out.

4:19 pm

Jillyjill

*takes bow* hello miss molly

4:19 pm

hurshy

don't be too bummed trif - try to be glad we have the options.

4:19 pm

MollyL

Are you buying stuff in the store, or consulting an herbalist?

4:19 pm

Trifioso

consulting an herbalist

4:20 pm

crosshair

just found fr 5/16 and 6/27= fr+ poetic before

4:20 pm

Trifioso

thanks crossy!

4:20 pm

MollyL

Yes, Jacques.

4:20 pm

crosshair

if you can get ahold of some,try a alder bark infusion for migraines

4:21 pm

crosshair

tastes like crap though

4:21 pm

hurshy

crossy is that to take daily as a preventative, or to take when they happen to make them go away?

4:21 pm

crosshair

as it happens.in the early stages

4:22 pm

hurshy

i'll look into it - the topamax is good but the thing they gave me for when it happens doesn't seem to be working that well.

4:23 pm

crosshair

most chemical migraine meds i have gotten for the mrs work to some level or another but the side effects are nasty

4:23 pm

Jillyjill

and now the phone calls begin...brb

4:24 pm

MollyL

The email popularity is over. Now the phone popularity begins. : D

4:24 pm

hurshy

what i love about topamax is that not only has it decreased migraine frequency but it is totally helping my insomnia, just when i had given up on anything ever fixing that.

4:24 pm

crosshair

begins?? i think everyone 25 and under has them surgically fused to the side of their heads

4:25 pm

crosshair

as as for my own insomnia.i am now used to 2 hours at night and a hour and a half cat nap in the day

4:26 pm

crosshair

actually was surprised last night.,was almost 3 hours

4:26 pm

MollyL

No, I meant those in search of Wooter.

4:27 pm

Trifioso

this grid is a tough for a biggie. 167 words in, but have only greyed 4 tiles.

4:28 pm

hurshy

i wonder if any stores would have it, or if i would have to get alder bark infusion online

4:29 pm

crosshair

not sure,hurshy.will have to goolge it locally.found ours in a homopathic/health store

4:29 pm

MollyL

That makes sense. Topomax is also used to treat anxiety.

4:30 pm

mkg

hi all back to get half way. ugh

you shave it and use a tea ball or other straining device and steep it in hot water

for all those canucks of "a certain age".. and for those who aren't - a quick preface. it was 1967 - expo '67 was on, and canada was hosting the world at a hugely successful world fair.... ww II was a generation in the rearview mirror, and optimism abounded ( as the vietnam protests had not gottten into high gear yet). we were young! we were 100 yrs. old, and we wanted to celebrate. FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT READ PIERRE BERTON'S BOOK "1967 - THE LAST GOOD YEAR" please make it a point to do so, it is a small book in comparison to his normal tomes.. and it helps to put things into perspective...and bring back some wonderful memories...i was 6/7 years old at the time, and about to move to germany, but one of my strongest memories is of singing this song at the top of my lungs....
"It was 1967 that he wrote Ca-na-da, which quickly became the most popular song of Canada's centennial celebrations....Over the next few years, Ca-na-da sold half a million copies. There were some 50 different recordings of the song, and some 250 school choirs and bands recorded it. In 1971, Gimby presented the original manuscript and all future royalties to the Boy Scouts of Canada."

-- Alex Barris and Ted Barris, authors of 'Making Music - Profiles from a Century of Canadian Music.'

4:37 pm

hey cross, have you read about what the israeli's have invented for cancer tumors? amazing stuff. my grandson is going to have one procedure soon. they came up with three ways to get tumors to die without doing surgery:

4:37 pm

hurshy

zackly

4:37 pm

Trifioso

ha! just found the pirate roberts....

4:37 pm

mkg

one way is freezing the tumor and it dies.

4:37 pm

TraderKate

LOL @ hurshy! tee hee

4:37 pm

mkg

one way is heat and it dies

4:38 pm

MollyL

Not blithely ignorant. Had Canadian history, trivia and tidbits drilled into my head by my husband.

4:38 pm

mkg

third way is with some kind of lazer beams. you go into a scanner like a cat scan and you feel nothing but the beams go to your body and kill the tumor. amazing stuff.

4:38 pm

mkg

sorry cross that this is disjointed. i kept pushing enter to get to a new line.

Not everything on House was crap.

4:46 pm

hurshy

is is a GOOD show, even if not realistic.

4:47 pm

hurshy

realism is not the only point of things.

4:47 pm

crosshair

i know the show is crap from stem to stern but still entertaining

4:47 pm

TraderKate

very unrealistic, but highly entertaining....ives hugh lawrey :)

4:47 pm

MollyL

Not unrealistic either. Lots of genuine medical conditions were depicted on House.

4:48 pm

TraderKate

isn't tv supposed to be a little bit about escapism from the mundane ?

4:48 pm

crosshair

"i will take vicoin and run bleach through this child to cure him!" hehe

4:48 pm

crosshair

was good fun.had to toss the cable though

4:49 pm

hurshy

it was really more a bioethics show than a medical show

4:49 pm

TraderKate

real medicine, unreal situations re: gregory house - never would have kept his job in real life... but isn't that the point? i adored the show, rarely ever missed it!

4:49 pm

mkg

no too ridiculous to even enjoy. sorry. i dont do well with this stuff or harry potter or the hobbit stuff either. not into make believe except for videos like toy story where it is obviously not real at all, or monsters inc and stuff like that. then i enjoy it. i think the fantastics was also wonderful.

4:49 pm

crosshair

i enjoyed it as well kate

4:49 pm

hurshy

you intensified the situations in order to focus in on hard ethical issues

4:50 pm

mkg

sorry but cant enjoy it because for a kid maybe 10 to 15 it would seem real and then i have issues with him as a roll model.

4:50 pm

mkg

no one believes in toy story.

4:50 pm

time to go for dinner.

what i can't stand is ACTUAL "reality show", makes me think we have descended into the last days of rome... pain, humiliation, laughter at the expense of another is abhorrent to me... though i know they are enjoyed by so many, i don't understand it... screw everyone else and you win....

4:56 pm

hurshy

it is bichon it just isn't in the grid today.

4:56 pm

It is a word, but you would have to use the A twice.

4:56 pm

i agree,kate

4:57 pm

stadia is probably only really greek? while stadium has passed fully into englidsh?

I don't know how you can miss the Kardashians on the internet.

5:06 pm

TraderKate

crossy also does not know the kardassians(and does not want to i think)

5:06 pm

lilliann

me either kate.isn't she pregnant or had the baby.i've seen snippets on yahoo news but i don't take any notice of reality tv...it's a load of bull and people thinking they are celebrities...why? what have they done to be one? and hi all

Oh my God, I have seen commercials for that Essex show. Gag.

5:08 pm

MollyL

Kardashian already had her baby.

5:09 pm

lilliann

5:10 pm

MollyL

Oh I doubt that L. A lot of American people salivate over the British royals.

5:11 pm

lilliann

i've just read ivesy's post. North West?? what is that about? why do celebrities give their children such god awful embarassing names?

5:12 pm

ivesy3

fathers last name is west... so they named the kid north... isnt there a country where u have to have persmission to name your child?

5:12 pm

TraderKate

<-----adores the queen, and is eternally grateful that she is still with us.... god save the queeen!

5:13 pm

crossy loved the queen mum.she was the peoples queen.seems she would drive security bonkers when she would sneak out to the nearest pub at night for a quiet pint

5:13 pm

TraderKate

in quebec, there is an acceptable list of baby names (goes back to the dark ages...) you can't name your baby anything not on the list (officially) very archaeic

5:13 pm

ivesy3

i think the british revere the leaders of their country. its nice.

5:13 pm

lilliann

i'm looking forward to Kate and William having their baby but i won't be gushing about it.i like them as a couple and he is very much like his mam, but i like Harry too as he just gets on with his life and has fun.

5:14 pm

ivesy3

i agree liliann.. seem like very nice young men

5:14 pm

TraderKate

harry's allowed to have more fun.... he' s the spare ;)

TraderKate

one hting's for sure, it's going to be a very good-looking kid....

5:15 pm

lilliann

here, after Princess Di died, alot of people hated the royalty, especially the Queen because of the way she handled it. i don't think she realized how much Di was liked/loved by alot of the nation.that's why i like Kate because she is one of us and no title

5:15 pm

crosshair

at least charles can relax..would not have been able to fit his ears on our coinage anyways...

5:16 pm

lilliann

really Tk? about the baby name list

tc,ivesy

5:17 pm

TraderKate

kate was "upper middlecalss" but now she has a title too. and i don't want to open a can of worms, but... the royal standard does not fly if the monarch is not in residence.... i think the papers were responsible for stirring the pot quite a bit on that one.... get the circulation up to the sky...

5:18 pm

lilliann

bye ivesy and tc

5:19 pm

TraderKate

liliann - yes... though i don't think it will be around much longer - based in the r.c. church of 200 years ago, and a part of their heritage, which they are loathe to give up. hence it has survived to this day as an anachronism

5:19 pm

TraderKate

good nite ivesy :)

5:20 pm

crossy is being naughty and irreverent ;)

if you throw out primogeniture, then where are you lil? the rules must be followed, otherwise you have anarchy... and you're back to the king'smen and the roundheads. inheritance of the crown is pretty much set in stone. if you let personalities enter into it, all you have is a popularity contest - and the winner may be the one with the most money to throw around... let history warn you of what hath transpired befoe...

she earned every dime of her money - she worked from the age of 20- for her whole life, and raised 3 kids too... she was lucky enough to get a good job after the depression (during prohibition) and refused to give it up... she was a trail blazer and a great hero of mine.....of course she inherited, she was an only (and adopted ) child... but my great granparents gave a great deal away for causes they believed in

6:12 pm

crosshair

90% of our furniture is still cast offs and flea market leftovers,but piece by piece we can now change that

6:14 pm

crosshair

the ireland trip was not a sudden whip of the wealthy but a 20 year plan with every dime hoarded

i still shop the sally ann and pick up things tossed to the curb. buteven when i was working for the railway, i was very careful with my money... doesn't matter what you make - it's what you keep... and i guess having so many depression-era people affecting my life it all sunk in...

7:30 pm

TraderKate

might be a while before i get up that way.... do you babble daily?

7:30 pm

lilliann

well, it was in the bath and we would manage to get him half way over and he'd do the rest, but when he came out if we didn't cover him very quickly then we (the bairn)and the bathroom would be soaked :)he was such a relaxed dog, that he would love to lie outside and he would lie infront of the gate and when anyone wanted to come in they couldn't as he wouldn't move for anyone, but he didn't bark much. he never barked when he layed in front of the gate as he wanted to sleep :)

7:31 pm

lilliann

but he would have protected us if needed

7:31 pm

TraderKate

what lovely memories lil! retrievers and labs are wonderful critters :)

9:37 pm

MollyL

9:38 pm

lilliann

OH NO!

9:38 pm

lilliann

9:39 pm

lilliann

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

9:41 pm

lilliann

i can't really talk molly as officially, i'm an Essex girl. i was born in Essex and we moved when i was 6 months old, so i'm not a proper Essex girl as i couldn't talk, dance around my handbag,wearing fishnet stockings!! :)

9:42 pm

joso

sw 6-45 sw * vowel + indian prince, is in the british ***

9:42 pm

lilliann

s and when countries fight against each other and apple juice

9:43 pm

9:43 pm

Jillyjill

9:46 pm

TraderKate

niters pen :)
congratulations jilly!!!!!

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

a bird, in the finch family

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

Wow, read your profile jes...what an intersting job you do have!!

9:46 pm

lilliann

the poor turtle and what will happen to the raccoons?

9:47 pm

jesdraggon

I usually don't do fledglings - i don't have the time or patience. but the lady i pawn them off on is out of town for the week.

9:47 pm

TraderKate

give me the raccoons! i've raised them before... devilish, but oh so cute - and smart!

9:47 pm

jesdraggon

when they are big and mean enough, i'll kick their butts out in the woods.

9:48 pm

lilliann

ah ok, ty jes, we have finches here but i've never heard of pine siskins.i don't think we get them here

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

and evil, kate. you forgot evil.

9:48 pm

TraderKate

but haven't they imprinted on you jes? how will you teach them - it can't all be inate, mom must showe them wheere to find the best food etc.???

9:49 pm

lilliann

and the turtle?

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

I have as little to do with them as possible. They have their enclosure with lots of branches to climb on, and a big tub to splash in. I hide food in the branches and drop stuff in the tub for them to find.

9:49 pm

TraderKate

ship the coons to toronto, lol... coon capital of north america!

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

i'll get some fish and put in the tub too, but haven't been to town yet.

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

They like corn too....*cursing local raccoons*

9:51 pm

jesdraggon

and any of the other animals tht don't make it get fed to the 'coons

9:51 pm

jesdraggon

I tell them so daily, to motivate them.

9:51 pm

TraderKate

<---- trying not to be too squeamish, as the 'coons aare omnivores...

9:52 pm

TraderKate

i used to give my coon babies puppy chow soaked in choclit or strawberry milk.... they do have a sweet tooth!

9:52 pm

lilliann

you had me going there fora moment jes :)what about the turtle?

9:53 pm

TraderKate

lol...jes - you ARE the dragon lady!

9:53 pm

Jillyjill

LOL....the nurse cringed too TK...but that is life...

9:53 pm

lilliann

how did you get coon babies kate?

9:53 pm

jesdraggon

had you going? i'm not kidding - i keep a stash of failed wildlife rescues in the freezer to feed to other rescues.

9:54 pm

Jillyjill

brb

9:54 pm

jesdraggon

the turtle will go back to his pond eventually. that's kind of the standard answer - if they live, the go back where they came from.

9:54 pm

lilliann

omg, really?? well, atleast there dead, i had visions of you giving them live food!

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

I give them live fish

9:55 pm

lilliann

if not then he'll/she'll be frozen food :)

9:55 pm

lilliann

live fish is different

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

and live mice.

9:55 pm

lilliann

aslong as there aren't any vegeratarians and pescarian here

9:56 pm

lilliann

oh no. i like mice :)

9:56 pm

jesdraggon

gotta give them something to work on reflexes so they don't starve when i let them out.

9:56 pm

MollyL

I watched someone feed a snake live mice once. That will put you off your feed for a few days.

9:56 pm

TraderKate

the mama brought them to me. she was a regular at my bird feeder (sunflower seeds) and when she had her pups, she brought them to me every night. you don't know the wonder of nature until a wild mama lets her babies crawl all over you!.... then one day she didn't come, but her babies still came every night, so i became mama coon

9:57 pm

lilliann

let them have the frozen food, can they not eat tinned meat and fish ?

9:57 pm

lilliann

i saw that too molly, it's awful.

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

tinned food doesn't teach them to hunt

9:58 pm

lilliann

stuff the meat in a mouse cat toy and wriggle it

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

the goal is to be as realistic as i can, within the limits of my facilities.

9:58 pm

TraderKate

i htink the point jes is making is that, once released they must find their own food... and there's no sainsbury's and tinne fish in the woods... and they don't have any pocket for their money ;)

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

not the same.

9:58 pm

MollyL

Animal mothers are much better at letting their offspring go than human ones are.

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

a human trailing a cat toy around just teaches them to follow humans for food. that is NOT the goal here.

9:59 pm

Jillyjill

Tell me about that molly!

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

I want them mean and a little scared of humans.

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

there is no coddling or petting or sweet talking.

9:59 pm

lilliann

i know jes. i shouldn't be like this as i eat lambs occasionally and when i watch wild life programmes and watch other animals hunt each other i cringe, but it's life

10:00 pm

stidmama

back again. hey jes, long time

10:00 pm

TraderKate

mama coons keep their babies with them right up until they are ready to have the next litter... then turn on the older ones and chase them off... there is a lot of "hurt" and confusion on the babies' paerts until they get the message and leave

10:00 pm

lilliann

aye, it has to be done for their sakes jes

10:00 pm

jesdraggon

hi stiddy

10:01 pm

TraderKate

stiddie came back :)

10:01 pm

Jillyjill

hi again stiddy!!

10:01 pm

MollyL

*Imagines young raccoons seeing a therapist for abandonment issues*

10:01 pm

lilliann

that's sad kate

10:02 pm

lilliann

lol molly

10:02 pm

lilliann

i couldn't be a vet jes. so hats off to you

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

it's a strange mix of sucker and hard-hearted

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

Okay...Under the Dome is on.... *poof* time for me!

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

bye, jilly

10:04 pm

TraderKate

you'd think so, eh molly?
seems cruel, but a mama coon has a lot to teach her babies about when, where and how to find foood.... they have schedlules laid down for the garbage days... no kidding! they usually range about 1 square km... but more in the real "wild" that's a lot of territory to teach about what fruit/ veg ripens when and where... where the water is, especially in drought etc....

10:04 pm

lilliann

i've cared for people and seen alot die but that was natural, but you have to put animals to sleep so it is different

10:05 pm

lilliann

if you know what i mean

10:05 pm

lilliann

bye jill tc and sweet dreams

10:05 pm

jesdraggon

yeah - i'm in favor of euthanasia as an option for humans too, though.

10:05 pm

TraderKate

it is much more humane than having them suffer with no hope of recovery and a lot of pain lil

10:06 pm

TraderKate

<---- trying not to open that can of wporms at this time of night....

10:06 pm

lilliann

i am aswell jes, after the way i've had to watch people pass away

10:06 pm

lilliann

i know that kate, so why can't we do that to humans?

10:07 pm

jesdraggon

worms are something i've been going through rapidly too, kate; the turtle eats about a dozen a day.

10:08 pm

lilliann

what else do turtles eat jes? and is it a wild turtle?

10:08 pm

TraderKate

without opening up a religious debate, it could be subject to abuse for the gain of the heirs lil... in a nut shell

10:08 pm

lilliann

as in did the dog attack it on a beach?

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

they're supposedly omnivores, but he hasn't eaten anything i've offered except worms. yes, he's wild.

10:09 pm

TraderKate

worms = choclits for turtles?

10:09 pm

TraderKate

maybe he's just eating what his body needs? protein to heal flesh wounds?

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

apparently. I'd expected him to go for the goldfish, but he was all about the worms.

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

totally shuns greens.

10:10 pm

TraderKate

tadpoles maybe? perhaps the fish are too big - or too fast?

10:10 pm

lilliann

i mean as it would have to be written down by the person as in carrying, mind blank, kidney, heart etc cards?

10:10 pm

jesdraggon

fish were smaller than the worms - he didn't even try to catch them.

10:11 pm

TraderKate

lots of amphibians like things like melon..
worms are probably just his dinner of choice, at least he's eating!

10:12 pm

jesdraggon

hah. you guys are distracting me - i failed to notice i'd gotten NBT and am 30 past half way :)

10:12 pm

TraderKate

i would think there would have to be more checks and balances than that liliann,,,

10:12 pm

lilliann

well, atleast he's eating something jes.he might not like fish?

10:12 pm

TraderKate

wooot! jes, go go go!!!!

10:12 pm

MollyL

What a conversation. Chocolates for turtles and euthanasia all in one bout.

10:13 pm

lilliann

if i was in a state that i didn't know who i was and who my family were i wouldn't want to be here anymore

10:13 pm

TraderKate

oh look! molls tuned into an angry bird! lol
nice :)

10:13 pm

lilliann

yay jes :)

10:13 pm

TraderKate

and liliann, if you had 5 million pounds in the bank and no will.....

10:14 pm

TraderKate

nice icon, that is....

10:14 pm

MollyL

I'm also wondering if baby raccoons have day planners so they can keep track of when and where all the discarded refuse is.

10:14 pm

lilliann

i'm never going to have 5 million pounds and if i did i would have a will

10:14 pm

TraderKate

they literally do molly... they are incredibly intelligent creatures!

10:15 pm

lilliann

molly has an angry bird, i can't see it

10:15 pm

TraderKate

molly, don't be silly, raccoon don't have pockets to keep their planners in!

10:16 pm

MollyL

No pockets? Oh, maybe they get that information on Facebook then. : P

10:16 pm

TraderKate

you might have to refresh or close and open babble to see it liliann... my computer was hiccupping and i had to shut down twice to get it to behave.

10:16 pm

lilliann

i still think that people should have the right to choose euthanasia.animals can get it no questions asked but we have to fight for it?

10:17 pm

MollyL

L, animals get it because people choose it for them. Animals don't make that choice themselves.

10:17 pm

TraderKate

that's exactly right molly! back in their cosy dens, they have little laptops and get all the info right up to the minute...

10:18 pm

lilliann

but i won't get into that debate now. i know that molly, but why can't we state this on donor cards(ooh, i remembered the word i forgot earlier) :)

10:19 pm

lilliann

it's our right too isn't it. we don't let animals suffer, so why people?

10:19 pm

MollyL

It's a dicey subject L. Like Do Not Resuscitate orders. People sometimes change their minds in the face of imminent death.

10:19 pm

lilliann

we only choose because they will die slowly and painfully

10:20 pm

TraderKate

ponder this liliann - true story, though the details may be not quite right.. a woman in her 40's was genetically tested for some hereditary disease ALS, i htink... she will certainly get it and eventually die from it... the last years are extremely unpleasant.. she went ot court and sued for the right to die... not in 20 years when she gets bad, but now before she is even sick... where's the line?

10:21 pm

MollyL

Eh, L, not so much. Animals get put down all the time because there is no room for them in shelters and no one has adopted them.

10:22 pm

lilliann

that's true molly.my nan always said if she got to the point that she didn't know us or who she was put her down, her words, not mine and she is now in a home not knowing who any of us are and hitting other people, but could i make the decision to end her life....no, so why do we find it easier for our pets?

10:24 pm

MollyL

I think, because as much as people love animals, we value human life more. We have been taught that human life is not ours to take. People have been killing animals for centuries.

10:24 pm

TraderKate

poor liliann! your nan has alzhiemer's, so sorry to hear that... it's especially sad when they exhibit violence toward others.

10:24 pm

lilliann

well, i suppose that's like angelina jolie, who has had her breasts removed

10:26 pm

lilliann

that is really sad kate, as there might well be a cure or something to help her live a longer live

10:27 pm

TraderKate

but didn't she do that sugery as a "pre-emptive strike"? she had no signs, but didn't want to take the chance that she might develop breast cancer later, so she opted to have them removed... is that correct? she did not opt to die on the chance that she might get the disease...

10:28 pm

MollyL

You are correct Kate. And there is controversy as to whether or not that is the way to go.

10:28 pm

lilliann

aye she does kate and i want to remember her the way she was even though i've cared for loads of alzheimer patients so i know all about the disease

10:28 pm

TraderKate

1'30" until the flip.... not sure i will make it. getting tired

10:29 pm

lilliann

well, the news here said that she had the gene so she could get it in years to come

10:30 pm

TraderKate

from what i heard, the odds of her developing it were extremely high, due to family history and i think an actual genetic screening... still, though i would not pass judgement on what is best for another person, i think it was a bit extreme, especially as sceening methods are very good now, and "fore-warned is fore-armed".....

10:30 pm

sammysmom

having a hard time tonight.... ca 6/24 ?

10:31 pm

TraderKate

ace, jack queen king are playing ca**s
and the pt it for the 6

10:31 pm

sammysmom

never mind i found it

10:31 pm

lilliann

my best friend's nan and mam had breast cancer.they both had breasts removed and she wanted to be tested for the gene but her gp wouldn't do it.she told me, that if she had been tested and the gene was there she would have had both her breasts removed as she couldn't have gone through what her mam and nan went through

10:32 pm

TraderKate

sorry, i goofed... not pt for the 6, but the one who does it

10:33 pm

lilliann

it's a very tough and brave choice to make

10:34 pm

TraderKate

what an awful dilema lil! so glad it doesn't run inmy family! i have a friend here who recently had to make that decision, at first she wanted to remove the breast, but later opted for the chemo and herseptin treatments first.... she seems to have made the right choice, so far, so good

10:34 pm

MLFAN17
