I had the same problem, peach. Server tantrum :)

omg too true.
2:45 am

I am a bit shaky... major fight with son yesterday, he is still refusing to help out a bit. He actually called me the dutch equivalent of bitch and acted agressively. It ended badly, with him telling me he would go to his girlfriend even though I had said no, and me telling him not to come back if he did so.
2:47 am
gapeach
Oh, sprite, I am so very sorry. I went through much the same with my daughter. It got to the point that I had to take pills to keep my sanity.
2:47 am
gapeach
And it surely can leave you shaken. How old is he?
2:47 am
sprite
was very close to that yesterday. Had to tell my husband even though he is in hospital, and then my husband started telling me what I had done wrong... and I lost it. Cried like a baby.
2:48 am
sprite
he is 17. Old enough to be a little bit more mature, surely?
2:49 am
sprite
did you and your daughter work it out eventually?
2:50 am
gapeach
I'm glad you cried....to hold it in wouldn't help anything at all for you. My daughter was 21 when the hell started. I know I gave my children too much. I made sure they had everything I did not. My mistake. And as for age, hon, I just don't know...I believe when the hormones start raging, we can expect most anything.
2:51 am
sprite
so very true. Am sorry you went through all that. That old saying that everything you give too much, you will get back negatively, seems to be true :(
2:52 am
gapeach
No, things are strained and I still cry at times....she hasn't spoken to me for almost 4 years.
2:52 am
sprite
yeah, and my husband listened when I told him I didn't need criticism, but comfort. That he still was my partner, even though he was in hospital. So he comforted me and I him and that helped.
2:53 am
sprite
am so very very sorry, peach. Such pain. Nobody can hurt us like our children can.
2:54 am
sprite
btw, your question for a clue earlier: E + halt, stay.
2:59 am
gapeach
Her husband attacked me, in my wheelchair....tore the tendons in both arms, injured my roter cuff and had hughe hemotema (sp) from my shoulders to my elbows. I dialed 911 and I lost my whole family. This happened because she was born with two holes in her heart and I was afraid to cause her heart to stop. I'd had 2 strokes in '02 and she and her niece came here and begged me to move to CT where I would get rehabed and then she said she would bring me home....didn't happen. 3 doctors and 2 attorneys begged me to prosecute him.....because of her, I did not. I moved back here...to GA in '09 and although I don't have THAT stress, I just get through one day at a time. Oh, golly, I didn't mean to write a book here. Just know you are not alone...there are many agencies (if it comes to that) that will help you...even if it is just advice.
3:04 am
gapeach
sprite, I was writing to you and the darn thing kicked me off....had to cancel out and come back in. I hope what I was writing to you gets there. It explains a lot.

hello...and sorry for butting in, but i would like peach to know she isn't the only one. my eldest son hasn't spoken to me since my middle son's wedding...7 years ago. i feel your anguish, peach. i have cried myself to sleep on many a night.
3:06 am

sprite, my dearest one, rest, get it together. do not try any reconciliation today. your(and his) wounds are still raw. good that he is talking to Rob
3:55 am
sprite
I hope he will, rose. He is supposed to go visit Rob, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't show up. He only visited Rob once, and that was because I insisted.
3:55 am

hey zooz, you're male, right. how is sprite to handle a recalcitrant late-teenager?
3:55 am

hiya zooz... too true. *hu4* from the sin bin :)

Oh wow just read back into the chog...did not mean to be in-sensitive...i can see there has been a lot going on ((Sprite)) ((Peach))

you are never insensitive, zooz. And God knows I can use a laugh :)
3:58 am

well, then sprite try this for size. Don and i started the deep-clean of mother mac's rooms today. all 4 bins stank, her fridge had yellow gunge on 2 of the 3 shelves, her place-mat was STUCK to her table. aacckk!!
4:00 am
sprite
omg sweetie... how horrid.
4:00 am
grannyrose
*giggle* i asked DH to clean the fridge. he really needs to see for himself just how dirty her rooms get...i have done 3 loads of washing, a sinkful of dirty dishes, 2 bin bags of garbage....
4:01 am
sprite
so sad, rose. She needs constant care, doesn't she?
4:02 am
grannyrose
tomorrow i turn her mattress, remake her bed with clean linen, then check the drapes, and light fittings. *sigh*
4:03 am
sprite
quite a job
4:03 am
zoozzoom
Not sure, Rose if i am honest...teenagers emotions can be very complicated...what we think are important issues do not seem to be the case for them...the triviel things in life still seem to be more important to them...how to handle that..i do not know...I have never swore or hit out at my parents when i was little..well never..that idea would never enter my head..it took me until i was about 18-19 when i could open up to my parents to speak about isues that were important to me...damn..parents have just phoned...they need me...will continue this some other time...Sory about that...love to you Sprite,Rose,Peach.
4:04 am
sprite
love right back at ya, zooz, and thanks.

you can say that again, sprite. the rest of the family don't see it. even getting her to change her pj's and outer clothes once a week is a struggle.

8:27 am
crosshair
with our new vehicle,scrabbs,we are like runners at the starting block waiting for the lawyers to decide if they are done with us or not.waiting on that last phone call.it is agony
8:28 am
phaeton
the G's are not fun!
8:28 am
welki
hey scrabbs - how long of a drive is it?
8:28 am
Scrabbler
Crossy, I want to protect the canoe and the car roof. I will attach the pool noodles to the gunwhales and also lie pool noodles across the siderails.
8:28 am
welki
(and crossy - what's with the vehicle?)
8:28 am
crosshair
then just bungee it down?
8:28 am
crosshair
new 1013 jeep wrangler sahara on order,welki
8:28 am
welki
can you split the noodles with a razor knife and fit them onto the crossbars?
8:28 am
Scrabbler
6 hrs total, but today I am going to a cousin's home 4 hrs from here and stay overnight. Then tomorrow I will drive another 2 hrs to the lodge.
8:28 am
o-o
pool noodles are not a pasta I am familiar with
8:29 am
crosshair
howdy,hego
8:29 am
welki
you'll like it, crossy - i had one, a two door, and it was a lot of fun
8:29 am
crosshair
mine will also be a two door
8:30 am
welki
you'll have to fit out your garage with a hoist and shelf for the hard top during the summer months
8:30 am
Scrabbler
Welki I got a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek 2 wks ago. The Yakima website indicated that my existing Railgrabs would work with my new car's siderails.
8:30 am
welki
pool noodles are always al dente, o-o
8:30 am
crosshair
has freedom top now welki for the 2012 and 2013 models,they come off in panels
8:31 am
phaeton
still not half-way...aargh! gotta eat...bbl
8:31 am
crosshair
i can store the front two panels under the seat;))
8:31 am
welki
the front panels came off separately on mine - the back unit came off in one squarish piece
8:31 am
crosshair
yes,same.why did you get rid of yours?
8:32 am
Scrabbler
I will slit the noodles lengthwise and cover the gunwhales, and also lie noodles crosswise. Does that sound reasonable?
8:32 am
welki
because i had the jeep for the winter, a sports sedan for the summer - decided that one vehicle was enough and traded them in
8:33 am
crosshair
wish i had my jeep,scrabby,i am almost tempted to crash your party;)
8:33 am
welki
if you have them, use plastic zip strips to fasten them, but not too tight or they;ll cut through
8:33 am
crosshair
sounds like it will work scrabby
8:33 am
welki
you only need them tight enough to hold the noodles in place
8:34 am
Riverdance
Good Morning Everyone. Scrabbs are you just loving your new car? I know I am!
8:34 am
o-o
why not just super glue a bear rug on the roof?
8:34 am
welki
and for sure, bring extra rope and ratchets in case something goes a little sideways
8:34 am
Scrabbler
Crossy, you would love this place--remote mountain lake, maybe 2 miles long, 1/2 mile wide. Several campsites on the lake.Three hiking trails go to small remote mountain lakes. One trail goes into the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area.
8:34 am
crosshair
well,this jeep is expensive enough that it is destined to be our only vehicle,winter or summer
8:35 am
phaeton
i have a bear rug for sale :D
8:35 am
Scrabbler
Haha, o-o
8:35 am
crosshair
wife and i love hiking;))
8:35 am
Scrabbler
Yes, River. I am averaging 32 mpg!
8:35 am
welki
yep, they're pricey - not like the basic utility vehicles they used to be
8:35 am
crosshair
mine tops out at $31,900 inc all taxes etc
8:36 am
Riverdance
mine is about 35 mpg.....I actually saw it go as high as 51 mpg while I was on the interstate
8:36 am
welki
you're going to love it, crossy
8:36 am
crosshair
but by comparison.i bought my last car at a bad time,just before the big 3 went belly up in 2004 and my echo was $21k plus tax,so not a whole lot of difference price wise
8:37 am
Riverdance
I have not registered mine yet - doing that tomorrow - afraid on how much that will be
8:37 am
Scrabbler
I am hitting the highway today on my way to the Adirondacks today so I should see a higher mpg.
8:37 am
phaeton
yay!!!half way!!
8:37 am
Riverdance
sounds like a wonderful place you are going to
8:37 am
hego
Have a great time Scrabs
8:37 am
Scrabbler
I had to register my car at purchase.
8:37 am
hego
buon viaggio!!
8:37 am
crosshair
lol,you would have to stop for me when i gas up,scrabby.best i get is 20-22 mpg
8:37 am
welki
scrabbs - pricey, but would it be wiser to stop at a shop and pick up a rack on the way? especially if it's a long drive - you don't want to be futzing around on the side of a road somewhere
8:38 am
crosshair
but i spent ten years getting 45 mpg.i must have carbon credits now:))
8:38 am
Scrabbler
Garnet Hill Lodge. garnet-hill.com. My 11th year in a row. My favorite place in the world. Total serenity.
8:38 am
crosshair
god,i love serenity
8:39 am
Scrabbler
There are 2 canoe/kayak places in the Adirondacks where I may be able to purchase the new clamps.
8:40 am
Scrabbler
And it is just beautiful, Crossy. Birch trees, balsam firs abound.
8:40 am
crosshair
give me a quiet lake,something that floats and a paddle
8:42 am
Scrabbler
The campsites are usually not occupied, so we paddle to a site and spend the day--swimming, reading, playing Scrabble, lunch, make a campfire.
8:42 am
Riverdance
I cant get on that site - said the server is down....ugh! But from the google page, it looks beautiful
8:42 am
crosshair
a huge breakfast and some apples and gorp to go:))
8:43 am
crosshair
yup,site is down
8:43 am
Scrabbler
So, Crossy, do you agree that my pool noodle set-up will be safe for my canoe and car roof? My canoe weighs 12 lbs--Kevlar. hornbeckboats.com
8:43 am
crosshair
you are using bungee cords i take it?
8:44 am
o-o
noisy lakes are decibel stimuli
8:44 am
crosshair
if you do,cris-cross them when you fasten
8:44 am
Scrabbler
I have straps.
8:44 am
crosshair
then one across the bow and one across the stern
8:44 am
Scrabbler
I have multiple sets of straps and I always use bow and stern straps.
8:44 am
crosshair
then the front and reare bumper ones
8:45 am
crosshair
and all should be fine
8:45 am
Judi
Good morning, all!
8:45 am
Scrabbler
Yes, always.
8:45 am
crosshair
make sure your well covering are on of course
8:46 am
crosshair
that way the wind does not get in there and scoop it off the roof
8:46 am
Scrabbler
I was so frustrated last night when I discovered that my Yakima claws weren't big enough to grab my siderails. I almost cried. I needed you, Crossy.
8:46 am
crosshair
you know the drill
8:46 am
crosshair
wish i could of been there for you
8:46 am
o-o
you could do a mitt romney and have a dog sit in the canoe to protect it
8:47 am
crosshair
we used to put the dog at the bow when canoeing to distract the horse and deer flies
8:47 am
Scrabbler
But I knew I had to be creative and resourceful so I thought about using pool noodles.
8:47 am
crosshair
their pelt protects them
8:48 am
crosshair
the noodles will be fine as long as it is all snug
8:48 am
Scrabbler
My canoe is a hybrid canoe/kayak. I sit on the bottom and use a double-ended paddle.
8:48 am
crosshair
and stop half way and check your lines
8:49 am
Scrabbler
I will need a pee break so will check the straps then.
8:50 am
crosshair
lol,yes,ladies and the pee break.my fil used to do the florida run in 2 days.drive for 16 hours,stop then 8 hours and boom,he was in largo.kids had to pee in a can almost lol
8:50 am
Scrabbler
Hahaha.
8:51 am
crosshair
but i am older and wiser now.never turn down a pee break or an orgasm,because you never know when the next one will come along:)
8:52 am
crosshair
and now that i have said that,time for a pea and to put the kettle on
8:53 am
Scrabbler
Hahahaha
8:54 am
Riverdance

9:00 am
crosshair

9:00 am
crosshair

crosshair

9:03 am
Scrabbler

Hi Neil

I doubt Walmart has those.
9:17 am

9:20 am

9:20 am

we now drive an hour do do our shopping but we plan for 2 weeks at a time and do not regret it.my furniture is made by a local shop that has their own wodd mill.they by local,hire local and it creates local jobs and the money stays here

So far DC is winning. Imagine keeping out five stores by just demanding they pay a living wage.
9:22 am

5 is plural of 4 if it's the first sp 5.
1:26 pm
HelenaB
It is! He's a TNR. (for those unfamiliar TNR is trap/neuter/release - they trap feral cats, neuter/spay them, and release. The ear clip is so they can tell from afar that he's been treated before).
1:27 pm

sometimes, a "house" cat gets rounded up and he is then rehomed

Awesome! and yes, I've heard female orange tabbies are rare - something about how the color is passed on. I've looked it up before but it never seems to stick in my head.
1:28 pm

in cats, the orange seems to be tied to the sex of males

I am tryin to fill out an application and one of the questions is "why should we hire you"
How about this for an answer: I am self motivated, hardworking and dedicated. I am a teamplayer and able to multitask. Additionally, I am open to learning new things. As such, I believe I would be an excellent member of your team in your efforts to provide quality health care to our community.
1:38 pm
TraderKate
shorten up last sentence phan..
1:39 pm
phandmd
suggestion?
1:39 pm
TraderKate
I believe I would be an excellent addition to your team, providing quality health care to our community.
or something like it...
1:39 pm
joso
answer with how they would benefit from hiring you, may be, but not necessarily, a list of your good qualities
1:40 pm
phandmd
get rid of as such, I believe...
1:40 pm
phandmd
oh, that is good.
1:40 pm
phandmd
thank you.
1:40 pm
TraderKate
still abit awkward... will think about it if you want?
1:40 pm
HelenaB
does "self-motivated" need a hyphen? nit-picky, perhaps.
1:41 pm
phandmd
not sure, will check.
1:42 pm
TraderKate
i would hyphenate it, but unsure if required...
1:42 pm
HelenaB
I tend to over-punctuate. *hyphens for everyone!*
1:43 pm
phandmd
that would be great, Traderkate. :)
1:44 pm
HelenaB
I would re-word the "i am open to learning new things" line so it sounds like something you are good at and enjoy rather than kind of like something you'd do if you have to.
1:45 pm
phandmd
I was just thinking about that and was thinking of changing open to eager
1:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hi all, i was playing wordsplay.net and it crashed hard, so here i am lol
1:46 pm
phandmd
I see self-motivated both ways, but more often hypenated, so I will go with that.
1:46 pm
TraderKate
still playing with it:
I am self motivated, hardworking and dedicated. I am a teamplayer and able to multitask. Additionally, I am open to learning new things. As such, I believe I would be an excellent member of your team in your efforts to provide quality health care to our community.
As a team player, I am self-motivated and dedicated; and welcome the opportunity to learn new things. I am a tireless multi-tasker. I believe I would be an excellent addition to your team of heath care professionals serving our community in a quality care environment.
1:47 pm
TraderKate
bottom one not top one.
1:47 pm
phandmd
oh, I like that, TraderKate!
1:47 pm
HelenaB
"I am a self-motivated, hardworking, and dedicated teamplayer. I am able to multitask and eager to learn new things. I believe I would be an excellent addition to your team, providing quality health care to our community."
1:47 pm
TraderKate
it's not quite right yet....
1:47 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hey, not to be a buttinsky, but does self motivated go with team player?
1:48 pm
joso
what type of job is it phand?
1:48 pm
TraderKate
see your point, gwen but i think so... no one in the team should have to chase her to get things done...
1:48 pm
HelenaB
i was thinking like "i'm a self-starter" (don't need other people to be on me all the time to get my sh*t done) + I play well with others
1:49 pm
phandmd
Well, I think it does, ... well, TraderKate beat me to it.
1:49 pm
phandmd
I am trying to get a nursing job
1:49 pm
HelenaB
I like Kate's last senteence
1:49 pm
TraderKate
checked on the hyphen... it goes in self-motivated
1:50 pm
TraderKate
you need to put all the versions in a blender and see what comes out...
1:50 pm
joso
nursing for clinic, hospital, partnership, school?
1:50 pm
phandmd
well, this application is for a hospital.
1:50 pm
TraderKate
i personalliy don't like "sefl-starter", but there is nothing wrong with it...
1:50 pm
HelenaB
excellent point, joso - something as to why you want to work THERE specifically - like the educational opportunities at a teaching hospital?
1:51 pm
HelenaB
oh, kate, i was using that only to define self-motivated. I wouldn't use it in this case :-)
1:51 pm
phandmd
well, that asked me why I want to work there first
1:51 pm
phandmd
give me a sec, I will put how I answered that here too
1:51 pm
HelenaB
oh, that's in another question. super.
1:52 pm
TraderKate
meant no offense, just tossing out opinions... some words phrases have become so trite i want to scream.... but if they are scanning them as a prescreen, it helps the application get noticed...
1:52 pm
phandmd
I am a long time resident of Frederick County (21 years) and have a strong desire to serve my community. Additionally, I have had several Clinical experiences at FMH including on 4A. I have enjoyed all of my clinical experiences at FMH

Memorial. Phan, multi-tasker and team player are over used. See if you can say the same thing with different words.
1:55 pm
TraderKate
take out last sentence rework it to show that you leaarned a lot there during your time
1:56 pm
TraderKate
lol, got all that phand?
1:56 pm
phandmd
FMH is used on the application, which is why I didn't spell it out. But will if you think I should
1:56 pm
joso
use your own words, don't over edit, but stress team play, ability to assist others, and ability to work solo last
1:56 pm
phandmd
I like your suggestion about learning a lot there.
1:57 pm
TraderKate
i would spell it out the first time... if you use it again, then short form would be okay, but put the periods in... F.M.H.
1:58 pm
TraderKate
i can be a bit of a nit-picker, sorry...hope no offense is taken :)
1:58 pm
MollyL
It's better to list your experience than to describe yourself. An employer is interested in what you can do.
1:59 pm
TraderKate
bbs break for the peepers
1:59 pm
phandmd
no offense taken at all Trader. I would be stupid to ask for advice and then be offended by it. I appreciate your help
1:59 pm

So, Molly, you are saying to reverse the order of my 2 sentences?
2:00 pm

wish i could help you more, phan, but to be honest, i've never gotten a job from a resume. got one from an email once, tho. good luck to you
2:00 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
bye all
2:01 pm
phandmd
thank you
2:04 pm
MollyL
Their question is why should we hire you? They want to know what you have to offer, not an over zealous description of you. Tell them what you are good at, where you excel in health care. And using FMH is fine when applying to FMH.
2:11 pm
A*n*i*t*a

I once got a job (at Trader Joe's) because in my brief cover letter, I wrote "Pick me, pick me, pick me!" They really liked that, said it showed uniqueness, drive and spirit.
2:21 pm
helenkeller
If you have already demonstrated that you have an excellent command of the English language, then I don't see a problem with throwing in 'I play well with others.' It's a refreshing change of pace from the typical blah, blah, blah.

5:44 pm
lilliann
i still need 143 Crossy but my daughter wanted me to curl her hair and she has long thick hair, so it took over 2hours and my fingers are killing me now.it'll probably be straight in the morning!!
5:44 pm
uusue2
Wow, that is quite a marathon, lilli!
5:44 pm
crosshair
lol,here it is the opposite all the girls seem to want the straight hair
5:45 pm
lilliann
i might be a bit biast here, but i'm glad you're taking them and even if they are disabled, alot of places are disable friendly now and if not, there will be plenty of people to help them
5:48 pm
Soodle
Aw, this sis in law is up her own a**! She refused to let her Dad come to their wedding, because he had a drink problem. He swore he would stay off it for the day, but she wouldn't take the chance & so her brother gave her away. I never liked her from that day to this.
5:48 pm
lilliann
tell me about it Sue. she gets picked on at school because of her hair colour and she told me to curl her hair.i asked her if the other girls have it curly and she said no, but she wants to have it like that as she doesn't want to be bullied anymore so i said they may bully her more as her hairstyle is different but she said she didn't care and i told her there is nowt wrong with being different.it's very boring to look like everyone else and plus they are just jealous of her hair colour which is why they pick on her
5:50 pm
uusue2
well, she's at an age where it's tough to be different (voice of experience here). You are a good mom :-)
5:51 pm
Soodle
What colouring has she, Lil?

Hi Peri. :-)
5:52 pm
lilliann
She sounds lovely Soodle!!so basically it's about her and how she looks.well, i'm really glad you're taking them now and why shouldn't they go, it is their son at the end of the day and if he wasn't born she couldn't have been with him!!i can't wait until next week so you can tell us all about the outcome :)
5:53 pm
uusue2
OK, going off for a bit, back later to finish
5:54 pm
Soodle
So what colour is Morgan's hair?
5:54 pm
lilliann
She has 3 colours in her hair Soodle. red at the nape of her neck and then she has auburn and blond streaks throughout.ever since she was a baby, i've been complimented on her hair colour.if i could bottle it, i'd make a fortune!But she has been called ginger most of her life and i've just told her to ignore them as they are jealous as they have boring hair colours and need to dye theirs to make it more interesting
5:55 pm

pa words, italian for friend, buddy
6:25 pm
lilliann
any extra classes you can get Phan will help and there will be a ward on a hospital somewhere who needs a nurse and then you'll have the experienced trained nures to help you. i was 17 when i started working in a psychiatric hospital, i only had courses from college but i worked there for 3 and a half years and the nurses taught me alot
6:25 pm
lilliann
Hi Lyn:)
6:26 pm
phandmd
That's the way it works. More learning is done on the job than in school!
6:28 pm
lilliann
exactly, but now all the training is in colleges and part time in hospitals.i believe i learnt more and remembered more being hands on and then when i was working i the hospital would pay for me to go to college a day a week to finish off my course
6:29 pm
phandmd
Joso, when I googled Italian for friend, buddy, I didn't get any P words...
6:31 pm
joso
actually means countryman

i went to look up italian for friend and got caught up looking at yahoo news.a 15 year old french girl was bitten in half by a shark and it carried half of her body off.how awful for her, as she died, obviously and her parents.
6:36 pm
joso
hey pen, didn't recognise you, glad you wore a name tag
6:41 pm
MollyL
Thank you for that gross update, L.
: D
6:45 pm
lilliann
Sorry, but it's life or death in this case.apparently it was on the Island of Reunion and she was unsupervised inan area she shouldn't have been because of sharks.5 metres from the beach.they are also saying that there is little shark fishing now as a toxin has been found in teh flesh of the sharks which is poisonous for us so the shark numbers have increased.it's like a Crossy titbit :)
6:49 pm
lilliann
ty joso for the pa words:)
6:49 pm

*Sigh* People usually learn the hard way when it comes to swimming in unsupervised, unguarded waters.
6:50 pm

np lil, tnx for the tidbit
6:52 pm
lilliann
apparently she was with a friend but she managed to swim to shore.the lass was ther with her mam from France to visit her dad who worked there.very sad!
6:54 pm
joso
my tidbit, during world war II a common german document had a spelling mistake. A london forger working for the soe couldn't resist correcting it. Once the Germans spotted this it was easy for any man to spot English forged papers, numerous spies were caught.
6:59 pm
lilliann
that would be right for us...correct grammar!! i've read loads of books about the S.O.E Joso and alot of our spies were caught because of stupid people back home.the agents always had 2 codes when they sent them and if it wasn't right, then that meant they were caught but even though some weren't right when sent some at the other end said, well, it could be a problem on their end as in equipment or time and there were alot captured because of this and because of one french man who was on the german's side
7:01 pm
lilliann
well, there were more double agents but in this one area, i can't remember where now, lots of our agents, ended up being shot or put in camps.
7:03 pm
joso
yes, but overall the bris had it well over the germans in spy games. The germans where lousy spies.
7:07 pm
lilliann
i don't know if that's true or not.i'd like to believe so.there were alot of double agents on both sides.there are still agents' stories we'll never hear, sadly
7:10 pm
joso
yes, most of the brit ones where british with german sympathies. Germans landed in England to spy were, too a man, captured and turned by the brits.
7:13 pm
lilliann
Joso, have you ever read the story about Agent Zig Zag?
7:14 pm
joso
no, have you read about Joan Pujol Garcia?
7:14 pm
lilliann
the name doesn't ring a bell, but i will write it down to read, ty
7:16 pm
lilliann
What did she do Joso? in a nutshell
7:16 pm
lilliann
don't worry, i'll google her
7:21 pm
lilliann
him even, i'll have to read his story joso,ty
7:21 pm
joso
spanish young man who wanted a bit of adventure at start of the war, tried to get a job with the brits, got refused. then sold his services to the germans. then went back to the brits as a double. built a fictitious network of 200 or so spies, the major german spanish network, all false. Never discovered by the germans, as things were falling apart for the Germans his spymaster made a dangerous journey to him to give him warning and a bundle of money, so he could flee the allies.
7:22 pm

looks like a good book lil, saw the plumber movie based on the autobio, but a 3rd party bio is usually better, and time will have revealed much more than the 53 book would have had.

I saw the film with him too Joso but that was after the programme here with Eddie Chapman, explaining everything and then he died shortly after it.he was doing right for the wrong reasons, basically

I tell you; if that man is supposed to stay out of the heat; he thinks he should go outside!
7:59 pm
uusue2
I beg your pardon, kate?? :-0
8:01 pm
lilliann
nef, with men, use the opposite language.tell them to do something and they won't!
8:01 pm
uusue2
sorry, peri, I was distracted by Kate!
8:02 pm
uusue2
right, nef!
8:02 pm
TraderKate
sorry folks, didn't mean to distract ;)
8:03 pm
TraderKate
so nef,.... what do you want to tie him up with?
8:03 pm
lilliann
so much for not distracting us then Kate!! :D
8:03 pm
uusue2
I finally got my Frank to the dentist (he hates it and hadn't been for years); he came out with a referral to the oral surgeon and an urgent appointment tomorrow as he may have an abcess, which may require immediate fixing :-(
8:04 pm
rururocks
she is so sensitive that one .. and yet.. she doesn't have a problem showing us butt cheeks daily :D
8:04 pm
TraderKate
poor frank! that's not good, is he in a lot of PAIN?
8:05 pm
uusue2
he is, kate, although it has been taking a back seat to the cancer for a while now
8:05 pm
uusue2
but he's finally recovered from the chemo enough that I insisted he go
8:05 pm
lilliann
i must admit i was like your frank Sue.i hated dentists for years and didn't. i only went in the end because i wanted the bairn to feel relaxed with them when she was younger.i did have to go alone for the first few sessions though, before i let her see me with a dentist!
8:06 pm
jesdraggon
evening all.
8:06 pm
TraderKate
sue -i thought he was on the mend from his chemo... is he feeling worse again?
8:06 pm
jesdraggon
hah! found the 9! :)
8:06 pm
uusue2
yes, kate, it's his teeth now which have been neglected for a while, nothing to do with the cancer
8:07 pm
lilliann
well, hopefully they can sort it out for him quickly Sue and get rid of the pain
8:08 pm
MollyL
Implying that NEF is into S&M??? And they say "I" lower the tone here???
8:08 pm
uusue2
yes, I hope so, lilli! He doesn't need any more trouble.
8:09 pm
tessagram
Please help! When I enter a word, it does not appear in the list, however, if I leave game then get back in , I see it?
8:09 pm
lilliann
I am sensitive Ru, but my cheeks need airing :D
8:09 pm
uusue2
sounds like you need to refresh or reboot or something, tessa
8:10 pm
lilliann
No, he doesn't Sue, but they'll sort him out, don't worry:D
8:10 pm
tessagram
I will try that. Thank you.
8:10 pm
uusue2
he really didn't want to go but I pointed out that it would be really silly to beat cancer and then die of an infected tooth :-P
8:10 pm
lilliann
Hi Tess.i'd refresh
8:11 pm
MollyL
Always there with the sage wisdom Sue.
: D
8:11 pm
tessagram
The problem is on my laptop, desk top works fine.
8:12 pm
TraderKate
give him some xanax or valium or what-not.... and lots of laughung gas sue... he'll be fine. dentristry has come a long long way since we were kids.... he should be pleasantly surprised, if he gets over the apprehension....has he been given anti-biotics for it?
8:13 pm
uusue2
not yet, Kate, as they don't know if there's an infection or not, although he was on antibiotics all the time he was getting chemo
8:13 pm
uusue2
and yes, he insists on laughing gas so I had to find a dentist who uses it - most in our town don't
8:14 pm
MollyL
Around here they have sedation dentists that will knock someone out to work on their teeth.
8:14 pm
lilliann
i've changed my dentist after 10 years because i can't get into the practice without husband because of loads of horrible little concrete steps, so the bairn and i go to a different one and i hate it. i don't feel comfortable and every time i go the same dentist says something different, as in treatment.it's get them in and out there, but my last one knew everything about us and us him.more family orientated and personal
8:14 pm
TraderKate
... pre-medicate as well if he is fearful... the dentist can prescribe if needed. antibiotics usual for abscess... must get infection under control before work can be done.
8:15 pm
lilliann
i hope you can sort it out Tessa
8:15 pm
uusue2
right, he is scheduled for x-rays tomorrow that should sort out whether or not there is an abcess and then they will go from there
8:15 pm
tessagram
Thank you!
8:16 pm
uusue2
he's not fearful, really, mostly just grumpy
8:16 pm
TraderKate
we await the update. hopefully it is just nasty gingivitis?
8:16 pm
MollyL
I'm sure the dentist will know how to treat it best.
8:16 pm
TraderKate
lol, i would be too!
8:16 pm
uusue2
We will know tomorrow and I will put something in my profile as soon as we do.
8:17 pm
lilliann
i used to have to take valium before i saw a dentist. one of my dentist's charged me £28 pound for 2 tablets. i could have got them for £4 on prescription at the time. this was about 19 years ago
8:17 pm
uusue2
And he really likes the dentist (which is good since I got him out of the yellow pages, after a lot of phone calls about laughing gas), don't know about the oral surgeon yet
8:18 pm
MollyL
Half the battle is liking the dentist.
8:19 pm
uusue2
ok, I think someone is just sticking random letters into some of these st words
8:20 pm
rururocks
especially if the dentist is toothsome :D
8:21 pm
rururocks
<---goes to Hooters Dentistry
8:21 pm
lilliann
He's bound to be grumpy Sue, he's had enough of treatment whether from doctors or dentists, he'll just want o be left alone now for a while until he needs to go back and see the doctors
8:21 pm
TraderKate
....where the statement "spit" has a whole different meaning
8:22 pm
uusue2
that is exactly right, lilli, I feel bad for him but he really can't ignore his teeth any longer
8:22 pm
rururocks
<---for once didn't lower the tone of the chat :D
8:23 pm
TraderKate
lil has an excellent point. he's been poked and prodded enough for a while....
8:23 pm

8:29 pm
dan2bit
misanthrope hates everyone :-)
8:29 pm
TraderKate
there is one for "hates people"
8:29 pm
MollyL
*Thinks Kate needs to put the cork in the bottle*
8:29 pm
TraderKate
that's it dan, but i've never heard a wrod for man-hater
8:30 pm
dan2bit
that's because the patriarchy makes the language :-)
8:30 pm
TraderKate
surely there must be one though... you hear it all the time: she's aman-hater....
8:31 pm
MollyL
Like I said before, misandrist
8:31 pm
TraderKate
not so pc here, entirely comfortable with "mankind"
8:32 pm
dan2bit
misandrist, according to askville.amazon.com though I've never heard anyone use it
8:32 pm
TraderKate
that's what i was asking... means hates both sexes.. but not misanthrope? wonder what the difference is...
8:33 pm
dan2bit
hiya moll!
8:33 pm
MollyL
Hey 2Bit : )
8:33 pm
joso
misanthrope hates both, misandrist hates men, misogynist hates wemon
8:33 pm
TraderKate
hates both sexes vs. hates people... but htat's another kettle of fish
8:33 pm
MollyL
Love the new picture of girlie
8:34 pm
penquis
ty joso for making that finally clear, hopefully to everyone... ;o)
8:34 pm
MollyL
Yes, hopefully.
8:35 pm
TraderKate
thanks joso, was looking at the root and it didn't make sensse to me.. the original question was hates men and hates women... i mis-interpreted the question as men AND women haters as one term... must eat...
8:35 pm
dan2bit
thanks - from her baby cousin's crhistening
8:36 pm
joso
interesting that almost all know misogynist but not misandrist, what does that say about our society?
8:37 pm
MollyL
I don't know, I hear a lot more man bashing than women bashing.
8:37 pm
TraderKate
that misogyny is a problem and misandry is not?
8:38 pm
rururocks
there's no such thing as a man hater :D
8:39 pm
rururocks
misogyny sounds like a soup gynecologist
8:39 pm
dan2bit
because men who need to call a man-hating woman a name have much shorter ones to choose from, that fit better in their tiny brains
8:39 pm
TraderKate
...loves men and would always choose to work with them over women....
8:40 pm
rururocks
man eater I know
8:41 pm
TraderKate

O, that this too too solid flesh would melt, / Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew, / Or that the Everlasting had not fixed / His canon 'gainst self-slaughter. O God, God, / How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable / Seem to me all the uses of this world!

Joseph Fiennes is my favorite portrayer of Shakespeare.
8:58 pm
TraderKate
OMG... david tennant... want to see that! was dr. who for a while.. can't wait til it comes here!~
8:58 pm
stidmama
I think it's actually neighbors doing laundry. Not certain, but it feels like something only partially organic
8:58 pm
stidmama
I don't know that actor, Molly
8:59 pm
MollyL
He played Shakespeare in the movie "Shakespeare In Love"
8:59 pm
stidmama
oh, I don't think I saw that movie. Or maybe I did... hold on...
9:00 pm
stidmama
yes! yes we did! but I was parenting wee ones and so didn't notice much other than being quiet with Tom, and the AMAZING detail of the period costumes.
9:01 pm
lilliann
He is Ralfh Fiennes brother
9:01 pm
stidmama
wondered if he might be, that seems an unusual name
9:01 pm
TraderKate
i liked that movie, thought it was well done; true to the period...
9:02 pm
TraderKate
think it's an irish name?
9:02 pm
lilliann
It sound's familiar Molly, so i probably have seen it, i've seent he film 'Enemy at the gates' with him in it
9:03 pm
lilliann
i think there are 4four Fiennes brothers
9:03 pm
MollyL
He has a face that is hard to forget.
9:04 pm
stidmama
fw. all but a couple were fishy, and all were pretty obvious once I knew the count...
9:04 pm
rururocks
ralph Fiennes was incredible in Schindler's List.. absolutely incredible
9:05 pm
TraderKate
congratulations stiddie!!!!!!
9:05 pm
lilliann
actually, i've just googled him and he has a twin brother and 2 other brothers and 2 sisters
9:05 pm
stidmama
according to IMDB Joseph's full name is "Joseph Alberic Iscariot Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes" *collapses with effort of reading the whole name*
9:05 pm
TraderKate
lol, must be irish....
off to the pb for racism....
9:06 pm
lilliann

rururocks
I like him as Lord Valdemort too in Harry Potter
9:08 pm
lilliann
Ralph Fiennes was the German wasnt he in Schindlers list?
9:08 pm
rururocks
it's a tough movie Stid.. but really a good film
9:08 pm
lilliann
i liked Ralph Fiennes in The English Patient
9:10 pm
lilliann
It was and wasn't a good film because of what it portrayed but Schindler did a good thing in the end and saved alot of people
9:13 pm
lilliann
Can i have a clue for to6/27 please
9:13 pm
TraderKate

9:21 pm
lilliann
well, atleast it's just your name and not you covered in spuds!! :)
9:21 pm
rururocks
I loved the Pianist
9:21 pm
rururocks

9:22 pm
MollyL
Adrien Brody did a great job in that movie.
9:22 pm
rururocks
I generally don't like Nazi movies
9:22 pm
rururocks
he did a better job on Hailey Berry :D
9:24 pm
lilliann
he did Ru, and i'm like you, i don't generally like films like that but when they are true stories, i think we need to watch them, and that is with all war films and people and countries affected
9:26 pm
MollyL
There is a lot of history in those kinds of films.
9:26 pm
rururocks
I find the brutality of the Nazi's hard to watch on film..it's amazing to me that a human being can do that to another human being.
9:27 pm
TraderKate
the great escape was the quintessential movie that should be on the "must watch list" imo...
9:28 pm
lilliann
He did fantastically well Molly
9:28 pm
rururocks
who was the director of the Pianist.? I can't remember
9:29 pm
lilliann
i think the Japanese wer worse than the Germans
9:29 pm
rururocks
oh Polanski.. no wonder
9:29 pm
lilliann
Roman Polanski
9:30 pm
TraderKate

TraderKate

9:31 pm
lilliann
Aye, your'e right about the 'Great Escape' Kate, that is anotherone that should be watched. 50 prisoners of war shot.
9:32 pm
TraderKate

i've watched a programme about it Kate, where they bought the Germans to justice and it was a true story of what had happened and how they all escaped.the film wasn't far off but as all films, they sometimes make it more to sell them

lilliann
Really Molly?
9:55 pm
rocky12

9:56 pm
rocky12
The one with the blonde girl
9:56 pm
lilliann
Well, you obviously haven't watched both or you'd know.The british one is one of the most iconic films in this country
9:56 pm
rocky12
If that clears it up
9:57 pm
lilliann
no, as that is the 2nd one
9:57 pm
joso
litteral cliffhanger ending
9:57 pm
lilliann
I liked the 2nd one but it was nowt like the original
9:58 pm
lilliann
exactly Joso
9:58 pm
rocky12
O ya watch transporter 1,2, and3
9:59 pm
lilliann
In the original, they drive minis on a roof top of the fiat factory roof.my husband has driven a lorry on that roof
10:00 pm
lilliann
yes, i've watched all tree of them Rocky, with Jason Statham, but that's nowt like the Italian Job
10:00 pm
rocky12
Oh in the one i watched they drive minis in the train staition
10:01 pm
rocky12
I like him
10:01 pm
lilliann
That was the Italian Job, but not the original film
10:02 pm
lilliann
diving in....
10:02 pm
rocky12
I'llhave to check out the original then
10:18 pm
lilliann
Rocky, the original Italian Job has Michael Caine in, so you need to google it:)
10:26 pm
joso
the stunt driver of the original very dearly wanted to make a mini go completely around the tunnel. the movie production had 4 red, 4 blue and 4 white mini's. he destroyed 3 of each before they made him stop, saying they needed at least one of each colour.
10:31 pm
lilliann
I never knew that.Not surprising Joso, as in those days, the film was costing alot of money to make with all the different cars they used.
10:33 pm
rocky12
I wouldnt mind destroying stuff like cars it must be fun
10:35 pm
joso
some great shots in the tunnels, they never show a crash, but they filmed all the attempts
10:36 pm
lilliann
I'd prefer to just drive really nice cars and not destroy them:)
10:36 pm
lilliann
I think it was one of the best british films ever made
10:38 pm
rocky12
But what about that teenage boy or girl that likes to destroy stuff
10:38 pm
rocky12
Inside you
10:39 pm
lilliann
No, i still wouldn't want to destroy a good car.i must be getting old :)
10:40 pm
lilliann
i never liked to destry stuff when i was a teenager, probably because of my upbringing
10:40 pm
TraderKate
i never wanted to destroy things when i was a teenager....
10:40 pm
lilliann
we were taught to look after things
10:41 pm
lilliann
If only alot of the children where like that today!
10:43 pm
TraderKate
has nno none ever told you that it is not acceptable to destroy/hurt things?
10:43 pm
rocky12
Some are but if there is useless garbage lying around that no one is ever going to use you never wantedto brake it or anything
10:44 pm
lilliann
No, we were brought up not to
10:45 pm
joso
every boy likes blowing up fire crackers, it's when they start to eye the neighbours cat you have to worry.
10:46 pm
rocky12
And i have been taght not to brake things that are in good condition but the stuff that we could not use like a wooden chair my dog chewed up till thier were tiny pices lying around and it became dangerous to have around a dog we would take it and brake more and then through it out
10:47 pm
TraderKate
and it starts with firecrackers in garbage cans... which i may add, are notgarbage - just the stuff inside is....joso - you fjorgot pullingthe wings off flies and putting the magnifying glass to a grasshopper...

TraderKate
how tall are you rocky?...
10:58 pm
rocky12
I know but i need to see the new board and catch up with my shows
10:59 pm
rocky12
5 foot some thing
10:59 pm
rocky12
I'm not sure
11:00 pm
TraderKate
you do not NEED to see the new board, it will be there for you in the morning.
ya, 5 foot what? do you know that 90% of the height you grow is achieved while you sleep? do you want to grow up short and strong, or Tall and strong???
11:01 pm
TraderKate
you are about to enter a growth spurt.... it will not happen if you don't sleep well and long!
11:02 pm
rocky12
I did not know 90% but i did know the mojarity you get while sleeping
11:02 pm
rocky12
And as for tall or short neither
11:03 pm
TraderKate
your choice, but when you're 30 and 5'6" tall, can't find a girl and are still watching animee for excitement because the good jobs (and pay) go to the tallest, handsomest and most educated, you may remember this little conversation
11:04 pm
jmcnrick
shug is not in the grid?
11:04 pm
TraderKate
i repeat, the new board will be here fjor you tomorrow. turn off the animee and get some shut eye. you'll be glad of it in the morning.
11:04 pm
jmcnrick
maybe it is spelled sug since it is short for sugar
11:05 pm
rocky12
That is not true at all the jobs go to the best fitting person for the job it doesn't matter if your tall or short
11:05 pm
TraderKate

jmcnrick

Jellen

11:24 pm
jmcnrick
i hate hate hate the word. . .
11:25 pm
jmcnrick
it has become very acceptable by people who would never allow "don't play like a girl" or the coarser equivalent. . .
11:25 pm
jmcnrick
all i can say is don't use it around me!
11:26 pm
