surgeon says i have torn the ligament in my knee from the outer aspect, across the knee, through to the medial aspect. splint stays for 3-6 months.

1:34 am

moonwoof

D=

1:35 am

moonwoof

I thought you just had knee surgery...

1:35 am

grannyrose

he is desperately trying not to have to operate. if he does, he will have to re-shape the prosthesis. :(

1:35 am

puglet

Oh no Rose--are you going to have to have more surgery

1:35 am

moonwoof

Were you being too active >=\

1:36 am

moonwoof

awww

1:36 am

grannyrose

woof, total knee replacement 12 months ago, fell at work, foot skidded on wet floor, tore the ligament.

1:37 am

grannyrose

i'm weeping he4....am so disappointed.

1:37 am

puglet

Are you going to have to take a leave from work Rose

1:37 am

moonwoof

and now it's retorn...? You need to be easier on you =(

1:37 am

grannyrose

i've only had the splint for 6 weeks, now he's talking 6 MONTHS. my god....

1:38 am

grannyrose

pugs, so long as they can offer me work which doesn't involve patient care....and at a desk....

1:38 am

moonwoof

That does suck. I empathize grreatly. But really... you know you need to do it. He wouldnt lie to you about it, if you didnt need it.

1:39 am

moonwoof

Its going to be hard... but knees are really important!

1:40 am

grannyrose

yeah, i know. i should be thanking my lucky stars and God that he a conservative surgeon. he was quite up front, and said he really doesn't want to operate again.

1:41 am

grannyrose

anyway, crying over....sorry to dump on you all, you are such lovely people.

1:41 am

moonwoof

That Is a good start, agreed. I have faith you can do this. Maybe we need to send you more books or something to keep you on you cr5

1:42 am

gapeach

Rose, please remember that you have a lot of people praying for you and sending positive energy. Hugs

1:42 am

grannyrose

i am a bit worried about DH. now he has me to worry about, as well as his mum...

1:42 am

moonwoof

Im even willing to skip the hippie stuff, if it'll help... where can I send books...?

1:42 am

grannyrose

aww, thanx peach,and woof

1:43 am

moonwoof

=D

1:43 am

ChrissieDee

((((Rose)))) so sorry it's bad news. Can only second what peach said x

1:43 am

grannyrose

lol, hippy is good, so long as your talking about flowers and lovebeads...and not that dreaded part of anatomy which spreads as we get older.

1:44 am

moonwoof

of course!

1:44 am

grannyrose

thanx chrissie, it's a real bummer.

1:44 am

gapeach

brb

1:46 am

moonwoof

Perspective is always a bit of a weird thing, imo... but at least this is just *possibly* life altering and not life threatening. I guess I'll just ask Dr God for bigger grids so you stay seated longer =)

1:46 am

grannyrose

like the way your mind works, woof.

1:47 am

moonwoof

I get quite a bit of guff for it, honestly, but it works for me and mine ^^

1:47 am

puglet

Rose I know you are upset with that news, Iam very sorry for you.We are all here for you to dump on whenever you need to and we all pray for you and You will get through this. xxxs---

moonwoof

Oh youre not even close to that, so far as I can tell.

1:51 am

grannyrose

you're very kind, woof. th5 are some who wouldn't agree i'm sure.

1:51 am

ChrissieDee

No rose, this is the place you can off load anytime

1:51 am

puglet

1:51 am

puglet

(cant) ss

1:51 am

ChrissieDee

You are always so supportive to others

1:52 am

moonwoof

Agreed. You have plenty of karma accrued.

1:52 am

grannyrose

back to desk duties only, no patient contact...may walk short distances so long as the sp;lint is in place

1:53 am

ChrissieDee

:) like the idea off karma in credit

1:53 am

moonwoof

he hasnt gotten you into the full leg brace yet, tho, right?

1:53 am

moonwoof

The Karmic Credit Plan (tm) is an adorable thought, imo ^^

1:53 am

grannyrose

oh, yes he has, woof. from thigh to ankle

1:54 am

moonwoof

Hmm. Ok. Then yea, that's not a happy place. I *hated* that thing

1:57 am

grannyrose

roflol

1:57 am

moonwoof

Hated that time, but the desk yoga was a good distraction from the brace =)

1:58 am

moonwoof

I fidget a lot tho. Surprising, Im sure xD

1:59 am

grannyrose

yeah, i would never have guessed

1:59 am

moonwoof

I put the B in subtle!

2:01 am

moonwoof

Which, when you sound it out like that, is really Not subtle and has some irony involved.

2:04 am

moonwoof

Anyone frustrated enough for clues?

2:04 am

moonwoof

I wager not, but figure I'd ask before I go back to reading ^^

2:04 am

puglet

Edinburgh's great......but I don't think the east coast is getting the best of the weather right now, but a little cooler may be a respite for a couple of days. Just back from a trip to the lake district, it's certainly warm enough there !! Enjoy them both.

grannyrose

4:23 am

puglet

I felt unworthy about going to church and I have prayed many many times to be able to kick the habit. And to be free of them to one day stand before the lord free. I guess this is my cross to carry until it happens

good morning all

4:28 am

puglet

Ruby my great dane Beulah has started a weird thing here lately

4:29 am

rubyfoo

I think we all have some kind of oral fixation. I'm a nailbiter which is disgusting. And it's all related to animal groomingQ

4:29 am

puglet

(((sprite)))how are you doing

4:29 am

rocky12

As long as youbelife you can cuz if you have daubt it will all far apart

4:29 am

rubyfoo

{{sprite}}!! how is Rob and how are you?

4:29 am

rubyfoo

what is Beulah doing? You are talking to the "expert" on weird dog behavior (Ma!!)

4:30 am

puglet

when we go to the river or I let her out for a run --she jumps in the car and dont want to get out

4:30 am

rubyfoo

Max, the autistic*

4:30 am

rubyfoo

how old is she?

4:30 am

sprite

*hugs* right back at you!
Rob is more or less the same, got his second injection yesterday and it doesn't seem to change much. He just refused his pain medication in order to be able to feel the actual situation. Nurses were shocked. Waiting for the doctor to show up and discuss things with Rob.

4:31 am

puglet

the first time I hollared and hollared for her --couldnt find her and just happen to get something from the car and there she was.

4:31 am

rocky12

Lol

4:31 am

rubyfoo

I worry about you all the time, sprite, and hope you are finding reserves of strength you didn't know you had

4:31 am

puglet

she is 3

4:31 am

sprite

but good news too: Rob had a talk with Tim and now Tim is being so helpful and positive! He apologised for the grief he caused me too.

4:31 am

rocky12

Awe

4:32 am

puglet

thats good Sprite

4:32 am

rubyfoo

It sounds like she's having anxiety attacks.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

That is very good news about Tim; Rose was right when she said that Rob needed to talk to him. You shouldn't be the only "bad cop"

4:32 am

rocky12

Ya my dog is 15 almost 16 she is on her last legs she cant even chew kibble she eats can food

4:33 am

sprite

you are so sweet, ruby. And yes, I do. I am certain that the support from you, my babble friends and my real life friends, is the reason I have those reserves. It is amazing how strongly I can feel the good thoughts and prayers and wishes.

4:33 am

puglet

I open the back door for her to get out and she goes to the front. I open the front door and she goes to the back again

4:33 am

rocky12

Lol

4:34 am

sprite

sounds like she needs all the security she can get, puglet... the unknown outdoors may be too much for her.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

we're not your "real life friends"??!!??

4:34 am

puglet

Iam so glad Sprite that the family isnt on odds.That is a relief to you Iam sure

4:35 am

rocky12

We let her go in the house cuz she cant make it down the stairs

4:35 am

rubyfoo

I think Beulah needs hugs and maybe a little Xanax or Prozac

4:35 am

sprite

yes it makes a lot of difference. We can relax when we are home now, and share the chores evenly, and we are all feeling better for it.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

I have to go now, see you all later XXOX

4:35 am

sprite

ruby, YOU are a real life friend! We met and spent time together!

4:35 am

rocky12

Bye

4:35 am

puglet

4:36 am

rubyfoo

for sure, sprite

4:36 am

sprite

4:36 am

puglet

4:36 am

5:34 am

5:42 am

grannyrose

sprite...yay for you

5:43 am

sprite

rocky, that counts just as well. As Atalante told me when I started playing here: cheating is when you look up the actual words in a solver. All the rest is research :D

Morning, Christa

6:47 am

Anniebrook

hello hello everyone

6:47 am

BzznBea

Morning,Annie.

6:48 am

bichon

Hi there, this grid is tumping me

6:48 am

bichon

*stumping

6:48 am

Anniebrook

hi Bea, How is little Remy? getting any more sleep, bea?

6:48 am

Anniebrook

hi bichon, me too

6:50 am

BzznBea

I've been sleeping well. Mom and baby are getting a good 4 hours at a time at night. Everyone is feeling much better.

6:50 am

BzznBea

Amazing what a week will do.

6:50 am

Anniebrook

Sounds like things have settled down

6:52 am

Anniebrook

ajar

6:52 am

BzznBea

I think so. Daughter is still feeling drained but that is what breastfeeding will do.

6:52 am

Anniebrook

drat! sorry

6:53 am

bichon

don't be sorry and ty Annie

6:54 am

bichon

Can you imagine breast feeding twins Bea. I saw one woman on TV who was doing that. After she fed both of them, she pumped!

6:54 am

Anniebrook

bichon, how is this hot weather treating you? It was 97 he4 yesterday

6:55 am

bichon

It was around that here too. Do you get a sea breeze Annie. I've watched so much TV in the AC yesterday afternoon. Then hubby came home and we did the same

6:56 am

BzznBea

I can't imagine, bichon.

6:56 am

Anniebrook

Yes, we do get a breeze from the ocean..makes things more liveable

6:57 am

bichon

Growing up in Rockaway, it was always a savior at night

6:57 am

Anniebrook

I love living near water

6:58 am

bichon

Wish I could move back to Rockaway, but of course Sandy messed that up.

6:58 am

BzznBea

Bichon, my daughter had an appointment with a lactation consultant. I was amazed that there was such a thing.

6:58 am

Anniebrook

oh yes, rockaway is still a mess

6:59 am

bichon

Yes, and there are baby dula's. She comes to the house and teaches you everything there is to know about baby care

7:00 am

bichon

I wish I had such a thing.

7:00 am

BzznBea

Yes, my daughter's neighbor is a doula.

7:00 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody, I couldn't resist. I learned about baby care from my gradmother, via the telephone because I was in Ill and she was in Brooklyn

7:01 am

Anniebrook

hi ((ruby))

7:01 am

BzznBea

I got to feed Remy from an infant cup last night. Amazing.

7:01 am

rubyfoo

bzzn" my "trick" for breastfeeding, learned from my Greek pediatrician, was a pint of Guiness stout everyday and a quart of whsole milk

7:01 am

rubyfoo

I had enough milk for triplets!

7:02 am

rubyfoo

and the baby slept through the night at 8 days

7:03 am

BzznBea

I know dark beer is good for milk production. There are ow recipes for lactation cookies.

7:03 am

rubyfoo

that is funny, lactation cookies!

7:03 am

wvteach

good morning all

7:03 am

rubyfoo

and he stil likes Guiness and he's 50!

7:04 am

rubyfoo

hello teach

7:04 am

wvteach

hello ruby

7:04 am

Anniebrook

gm, teach

7:04 am

bichon

My Mom came to stay with us for 2 weeks after my son was born. All her baby care ideas were from the 40's. She wanted me to sterilize the bottles.

7:04 am

wvteach

hello annie

7:05 am

rubyfoo

my mother was like that, too, she wanted me to weigh the baby before and after every feeding. She thought breastfeeding was disgusting. Thank God for my Russian gradmother and Dr Spock

7:05 am

wvteach

used to be a lactation consultant - decades ago

7:06 am

BzznBea

She is producing enough milk for now. May have to do something to increase production later on.

7:06 am

bichon

Pumping would increase the milk

7:06 am

MollyL

Why Bea?

7:06 am

rubyfoo

just no supplÃ©ments. If the baby fusses, just sugar water. Production will keep up with demand as long as she doesn't try to lose weight

7:07 am

bichon

My mother thought he should have been on a schedule. How do you do that with a newborn?

7:07 am

BzznBea

I think that would be an amazing job, teach.

7:07 am

rubyfoo

I was heavier nursing than when I gave birth

7:07 am

wvteach

it was very interesting - the questions women had - did help a woman with twins

7:07 am

MollyL

Bich is right. Breasts make milk dependent on the need for it. The more you nurse or pump, the more milk gets made.

7:08 am

rubyfoo

I was rather chubby during that period but lost it as soon as I stopped

7:08 am

MollyL

Really Ruby? I'm surprised. Nursing is great for the metabolism. I lost all my pregnancy weight in two weeks.

7:08 am

rubyfoo

It's the only time I had a real bosom

7:09 am

BzznBea

When Remy starts demanding more and Caity needs more milk for when she works, she may have to do something at first to boost her supply.

7:09 am

rubyfoo

I nursed for 8 months, weighed less the day after giving birth than before I got pregnant but ate and drank so much while lactating, that I weighed 129 lbs!

7:10 am

BzznBea

I am always handing Caity a glass of water, fruit and snacks while she is nursing.

7:10 am

rubyfoo

only gained 9 lbs during pregnancy because I was in school

7:10 am

wvteach

asa he demands more, she should be producing more naturally - when she goes back to work and is pumping, the pump will not stimulate the breasts as much as the baby does, so have her nurse as much as she can while she is at home

7:11 am

Angelsong

cr

7:11 am

rubyfoo

and now, onto the bike. Today is a big day for the Tour!

7:11 am

rubyfoo

See you ke=ids later

7:11 am

wvteach

enjoy your day ruby

7:11 am

BzznBea

Bye, ruby.

7:14 am

MollyL

Teach is right. I'm not sure what the "need for a boost" is all about.

7:24 am

wvteach

Riverdance

I shouldn't be here - very busy at work but had to stop in for another minute

8:28 am

Uniquity

That E on the left - I have the 8/9 and the et5. Is the fourth a fish? If not, can someone clue me? This grid is kicking my butt but I am determined to finish.

8:34 am

jmcnrick

i am having no luck with it either crossy

8:35 am

hego

8:35 am

EvaNadine

think of the King and I...
ET8, ET8, ET8...

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

and so an and so forth

8:35 am

8:35 am

Uniquity

I had to use morewords. They go on and on and on. Frequently shortened and said in a group of three.

8:36 am

jmcnrick

oh ty evan!

8:37 am

grant

great clue, Evanadine

8:37 am

hego

Crossy, is starting at the wrong e.

8:37 am

hego

it's goes from the left.

8:38 am

hego

it goes

8:38 am

crosshair

oh!! THAT going on forever.had the wrong word altogether in my mind.ty

8:38 am

hego

yay!!

8:38 am

EvaNadine

we all did, crossy. :)

8:39 am

hurshy

i am so sad about cory monteith. i feel silly about this but, i am anyway.

8:39 am

hego

It is very sad, Hursh.

8:40 am

crosshair

i could be sad if i knew who he was

8:40 am

hurshy

he was canadian, crossy, so you really should know

8:40 am

crosshair

no idea

8:40 am

hego

Some sad young man who wasted his life.

8:40 am

EvaNadine

he was one of the starts of Glee, crossy. died a few days ago of a drug overdose.

8:40 am

crosshair

i do not watch television,remember or read any tabloids

8:40 am

crosshair

never saw glee

8:40 am

hurshy

he was an actor on the show Glee, who had struggled with drug addiction since he was 13 (i guess prompted by his parents' divorce at that time)

8:41 am

hego

I don't watch that either.

8:41 am

jmcnrick

it is always sad when people die young. . .he was only 2 years older than my boy. . .

8:41 am

crosshair

that is sad.drugs take our best and brightest youths

8:41 am

hurshy

but he was by all reports a very NICE young man and he and one of his co-stars had a nice romance going and by all accounts were hoping to start a family together...

8:42 am

jmcnrick

he was doing well professionally and starting a family. . .

8:42 am

hurshy

i dunno, one always wants to believe the best of celebrities even though it is so rarely true... one should really save one's sympathies for the children's families in india and nigeria and so forth i suppose

8:43 am

hurshy

still i can't help it i am sad about him too

8:43 am

hego

it's much easier to empathize with individuals, Hursh.

8:43 am

jmcnrick

i disagree. . .being sympathetic to one person doesn't keep you from being sympathetic to another. .

8:44 am

jmcnrick

in fact i believe that caring about one person opens the door to caring about others even wider. . .

8:46 am

hurshy

yeah

8:46 am

jmcnrick

stats for the corner m please

8:46 am

hego

When you see someone on a show often, they become someone you know.

8:46 am

hurshy

on the brighter side i am very excited for the royal baby to come

8:46 am

Uniquity

It has been heavily reported in my provincial paper. Family and friends all rave about his character. It is hard for me to think of him as a drug addict, but obviously he had his issues. A shame.

8:46 am

hego

It's the way the brain works.

8:46 am

hurshy

well there is really no reason you can't be nice AND an addict

8:47 am

jmcnrick

i am excited about the royal baby too. . .

8:47 am

hego

that is true also.

8:47 am

hurshy

i have a secret hope that the baby will be born on my birthday - but the odds are low

8:47 am

hego

Me too JMC

8:47 am

jmcnrick

actually some of the nicest and smartest people i have known were drug addicts. . . mainly heroin. . .

8:48 am

hego

I keep thinking of Diana now.

8:48 am

jmcnrick

when is your birthday? that would be cool!

8:48 am

jmbdobie2

8:48 am

8:48 am

jmbdobie2

howdy all...

8:49 am

jmcnrick

8:49 am

jmcnrick

is the baby due before that?

8:49 am

hego

lets see momrath, no....

8:49 am

hego

it was due 2 days ago.

8:50 am

hurshy

they never officially announced the due date. kate offhand said to a friend the 13th, but her mom offhand said to a friend something about it being a leo, which would mean after the 23rd...

8:50 am

hurshy

there is conflicting info

8:50 am

jmcnrick

oh i thought they didn't give out info like that!

8:50 am

jmcnrick

well as i am a leo i will root for the leo!

8:50 am

hego

channel 2 lied to me, then.

8:50 am

jmbdobie2

ooo so close hego your word is actually two words

8:51 am

hurshy

well a lot of people have been treating kate's offhand comment as really official (and i mean why WOULD she say it if it weren't but...)

8:51 am

hego

I'm intriqued

8:51 am

jmcnrick

ha! got it. . . hego remember jmb said it was 4/6

8:52 am

hego

I'm looking, dang.

8:52 am

jmcnrick

maybe she meant the 13th of august or the friend got it wrong. . .

8:52 am

jmcnrick

nbt

8:52 am

hego

lol got it

8:52 am

hurshy

name that proper phantom! keeps the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold

8:53 am

hurshy

8:53 am

jmcnrick

hurshy led us down the primrose path to the PB!

8:54 am

hego

thanks for the word anyway, Hursh

8:54 am

hurshy

sorry sorry sorry

8:54 am

hurshy

i totally can't figure out the earlier clue for a th7 about lawyer speak

8:54 am

hego

hahahaha

8:54 am

jmcnrick

so today my task is to look up old appellate cases that i was the attorney on so that i can sign up for new appellate cases. . .

8:54 am

jmbdobie2

pretentious or clever? I think it was great fun either way.

8:54 am

hego

8:55 am

jmcnrick

8:55 am

hurshy

OH i thought it was a word that MEANT lawyer speak, thanks hego

8:55 am

hego

have fun with that JMC.

8:55 am

hego

yw

8:55 am

hurshy

i sort of think law would be interesting but i just need a regular schedule and amount of sleep so i guess i can't be a lawyer.

8:56 am

jmcnrick

there are lawyer jobs that are regular. . . i just find the boring. . .

8:56 am

hurshy

it's sad that careers can't just be about the content of them, that they have to be about other stuff like that too.

8:56 am

hurshy

oh what kind of ones are they jmc?

8:57 am

jmcnrick

i just wish i had a steady income. . . sometimes anyway

8:57 am

joso

lawyer speak like herein

8:57 am

jmcnrick

probate rarely takes more than the time you want to put into it. . .

8:57 am

hego

Hi Joso

8:57 am

hurshy

that's wills and stuff?

8:57 am

jmcnrick

ty joso that was just enough more for me

8:58 am

jmcnrick

yes. . . writing them too unless you get the ra** call to the death bed. . .

8:58 am

hurshy

but what about any where you're more, like, helping the downtrodden

8:58 am

jmcnrick

real estate . . . .

8:58 am

hurshy

can those have regular hours

8:58 am

jmcnrick

landlord tenant can be fairly 9 to 5 . . .

8:59 am

hurshy

cool

8:59 am

hurshy

well if i went to yale law and i did pro bono work they have tuition forgiveness.

8:59 am

jmcnrick

social security claims. . .

8:59 am

jmcnrick

can you get into yale law school? *impressed*

9:00 am

hurshy

i dunno, i haven't tried, but i would think i could, i mean i would at least have a shot.

9:00 am

jmcnrick

my sil and her hubby both went th***. . . i only spoke at an event th***

9:00 am

jmcnrick

i never did well in school. . .

9:01 am

jmcnrick

pro bono (free) or community low pay work?

9:01 am

hurshy

i dunno the exact conditions, i'd have to check

9:01 am

jmcnrick

really anything but litigation and appeals can be fairly 9 to 5 if that is what you want. . . you just don't make as much money. . .

9:02 am

hurshy

yeah i am not money driven, just making enough is fine.

9:02 am

hego

ce 6?

9:02 am

jmcnrick

haha i am not money driven either but i do find myself work driven. . .

9:03 am

jmcnrick

oh well i must toddle off to the library. . . even if i am not money driven my creditors are! bbl

9:03 am

jmcnrick

79 left. . . *poof*

9:03 am

hurshy

ce6 is NOT ceasar. once i went to a deli for lunch and they had ceasar salad on the board and i said, it's spelled caesar and the girl was like, really? and i was like, really. but she did not rush to change it after serving me, even though there were no other customers. sigh.

9:03 am

hego

bye........

9:04 am

hurshy

i have never gone back.

9:04 am

hego

nobody cares about spelling anymore, hursh.

9:04 am

hurshy

I DO

9:05 am

hego

Even the newspapers have lousy spelling and punctuation.

9:05 am

hego

me too.

9:05 am

EvaNadine

speaking of caring about spelling, i just sent an email to the World Market folks letting them know that one of the buttons on their website is misspelled. :/

9:06 am

hego

and will probably stay that way, Eva.

9:07 am

hurshy

websites are hard to correct - who do you contact? we have an extra S on an internal Yale site that drives me bonkers but I can't get it fixed.

9:07 am

EvaNadine

working in IT, i know that often, those sorts of things are designed by the web team, and often, the copy editors dont look at them, since they arent, yknow, COPY.

9:08 am

hurshy

the woman i spoke to about the S claims she doesn't see it.

9:08 am

EvaNadine

is there a Webmaster or Contact email address?
if you send a message there, it SHOULD get directed to the web department. but like hego noted, oftentimes those sorts of errors dont rise to the level of importance it takes to correct them.

9:09 am

EvaNadine

hah. id love to see this mysterious, erroneous S!

9:09 am

hurshy

it's "messsage"

9:10 am

EvaNadine

well, perhaps shes a snake. they like extra S'es. ;)

11:01 am

crosshair

crossy has ten years of carbon credits from driving the echo for a decade;)) time to cash them in

11:03 am

Judi

Ten years is a long time to have any car. You are more than due for a newbie, Crossy.

11:17 am

crosshair

indeed,judi

11:17 am

mkg

we use our cars 12 years minimum. i am in year 7. todays cars last a long time. we have toyotas.

11:18 am

mkg

i am told that if you buy a car that is one or two years old, you do well financially. not sure but i want to try that one out next time.

11:18 am

onyx

hondas last that long too, i had over 250k miles on the last one i had

11:19 am

mkg

i have only one p word. any clues for the others? my p word is pr 4 5. two vowels after the pr.

11:19 am

crosshair

mine is a 2004 toyota echo.it has been flawless till just this year and now it is,brakes,evap system,just small things cropping up that cost 400 a month.the new vehicle will cost me less than that but i thank it for the problem free decade

11:19 am

Judi

You guys are brave. I start to get nervous when the warranty expires!

11:20 am

onyx

my next car i want a plug in

11:20 am

crosshair

i have a extemded 6 year bumper to bumper coming with the new one:))

11:20 am

mkg

cross i would still hold on a bit........sometimes we have several things go bad and then all is fine for another year or two. but your call.

11:20 am

phandmd

I don't know about Toyota's warranty, but Honda's warranty is very short, like 3 years (at least on 06 when we bought ours)

11:20 am

mkg

bumper to bumper always has "ifs"and "buts"

11:20 am

Judi

Yes. Hondas are very reliable and relatively problem free. Maintenance is just so expensive. 6 years is about my limit with a car.

11:21 am

crosshair

my rule of thumb was to always hold onto a vehcle as long as the monthly upkeep never exceeds the monthly payments of a new one

11:21 am

mkg

we have either 7 or 8 year warranties bumper to bumper.

11:21 am

mkg

good rules cross. interesting.

11:21 am

onyx

never bought the warranty. that is a good rule cross

11:21 am

Judi

3/36 Warranty is still Honda's stand-by. Never had to replace anything but oil and tires in that time frame.

11:21 am

mkg

we never buy with loans so never thought that way. but good idea to consider

11:21 am

phandmd

anyone have a clue for the er 5?

11:22 am

Judi

Er5 = the home planet.

11:22 am

crosshair

well,if i can ever afford to buy cash outright i would reconsider my options of course

11:22 am

Judi

Oops. I'm an idiot. Disregard that.

11:22 am

phandmd

wouldn't that be EA 5, Judi?

11:22 am

mkg

er 5 to build something. boys used to have er***or sets...metal peices

11:22 am

phandmd

No, you aren't an idiot.

11:23 am

MollyL

Wow, never buy with loans. I wish I had that option.

11:23 am

phandmd

there it is! and you can slap me with a fish for that one.

11:23 am

mkg

a man gets interested in sex when he has an er***ion.

11:23 am

11:23 am

Judi

Never bought a car without a loan. *Sigh*.

11:24 am

crosshair

lol

11:24 am

mkg

thump it down? NO. we put on credit cards totally that and who ever spent 30 k on a car?

11:24 am

crosshair

nor i ,judi

11:24 am

MollyL

Just once, I want to see the look on a car salesman's face when he says "And how would you like to finance?" and I say "No finance, I'll write you a check"

11:24 am

crosshair

sorry my credit card charges 20%.i would rather the 2.7% at the dealer

11:25 am

MollyL

Oh my God, I would never put the price of a car on a credit card.

11:25 am

onyx

That would be nice Molly. Powerball is 100mill this week

11:25 am

Judi

Interest rates are so low now. Better off getting the loan than putting it on a credit card.

11:25 am

crosshair

can you imagine,molly 20% on a price of a car??!

11:26 am

crosshair

yup,2.7 % i can deal with

11:26 am

MollyL

However, I think mkg is saying they put it on a credit card and then pay the card right off. Which is the same as having 20 to 30 grand available. Wow.

11:26 am

crosshair

wow,indeed

11:26 am

Judi

Unless your credit is shiite and they won't give you a loan.

11:27 am

crosshair

yes,a crapoa credit rating changes things a tad

11:27 am

crosshair

crapola*

11:28 am

MollyL

I would never keep a credit line so high that I could buy a car with it. Too much chance for bad things to happen if your wallet gets stolen.

11:28 am

Judi

I feel sorry for one the cops I work with. He just went through his 3rd divorce. The wife hosed him good and then stopped making payments on the mortgage and car. His credit rating went from 800+ to less than 500 in the course of 6 months. He is one furious camper right now.

11:29 am

MollyL

He's lucky he has any money left at all after 3 divorces.

11:30 am

Judi

I have told him he's far too kind and generous to EVER get married again.

11:31 am

onyx

He needs a better lawyer

11:32 am

rururocks

who is this you're talking about?

11:32 am

Judi

He has a good lawyer now. Going through the process of getting his name taken off all the joint accounts. He made the mistake of trusting the ex to do the right thing and uphold her promises. BIG mistake.

11:33 am

Judi

Ruru - one of my cop friends.

11:33 am

rururocks

oh

11:33 am

onyx

i been married for 20 years, i still don't trust. never trust...

11:34 am

Judi

Love is a many blundered thing.

11:34 am

onyx

So true judi

11:34 am

rururocks

It's hard for men and women to live together as a rule

11:36 am

Judi

Well, I've been married for 28 years. I'm comfortable giving him the benefit of the doubt on most things now. :-))

11:36 am

crosshair

20 years married and i trust my beloved with anything and everything:))

11:36 am

onyx

your are a lucky person cross

11:37 am

rururocks

nothing worse than a cop with a 500 credit rating

11:38 am

onyx

and a loaded gun

11:38 am

rururocks

I was thinking attitude :D

11:38 am

crosshair

my better half saved my life.even if she took it now,we would just be even;))

11:39 am

Judi

Oh, he's had some therapy. He's a former Marine and been a cop for over 30 years. He is a very honorable guy. But, women do him wrong.

11:39 am

rururocks

Judi.. divorce is pretty common among officers no?

11:39 am

rururocks

Sounds like he keeps choosing the wrong women

11:40 am

Judi

Divorce is VERY common for police officers, unfortunately. Stress, shift work = all major contributing factors.

11:40 am

kje

I have a hard time believing that someone has been divorced 3 times and it is always the other person's fault

11:40 am

crosshair

usually best if a cop marries a cop.then both sides understand

11:41 am

rururocks

but then they both have guns crossy :D

11:41 am

kje

lol ru

11:41 am

crosshair

lol,there is that

11:41 am

kje

doesn't matter, in most states they can both have guns anyway

11:41 am

crosshair

just have to hope the mrs is not the better shot

11:42 am

rururocks

depends on if there's a Walmart nearby I guess

11:42 am

crosshair

lol,they sell guns in wal-mart down there now??!!! my god!! soon you guys will have them as prizes in cracker jack boxes;))

11:42 am

Judi

Oh, I'm not saying he's an angel. He re-married his first wife after a quicky divorce. That lasted about 8 months. 3rd marriage lasted 10 years. As soon as she knew she was eligible for a cut of his pension, she started cheating on him and spending a butt load of money at the casino.

11:42 am

kje

wallmart has always sold guns

11:43 am

crosshair

wow

11:43 am

rururocks

it's easier to get a gun at walmart than a pack of cigarettes

11:43 am

kje

that is actually true, ru

11:43 am

rururocks

or a porno magazine

11:43 am

crosshair

they sell tobacco in wal-mart down there?/!! holy crap!!

11:43 am

Dorens

or cold medicine

11:44 am

kje

don't get me started on the pseudophed!

11:44 am

Dorens

insane, yes kj?

11:44 am

kje

they will now only sell in packages of 10... and can ony buy one at a time... so allergy season, and I have to buy several times/month... wtf

11:44 am

crosshair

well,just buy a gun first then,then hold up the pharmacy

11:44 am

Judi

Ha ha, Dorens. So true. We can buy guns but we can't buy the ingredients to make our own me4. Outrage!

11:45 am

kje

and this in a state where I can legally buy mary jane!!!

11:45 am

MollyL

Judi...love is a many blundered thing is a keeper.
: )

11:45 am

rururocks

with a prescription kje

11:45 am

EvaNadine

i feel your pain, kje. so aggravating!
my hubby doesnt need allergy meds, so i make him buy some whenever i buy it so i have twice what i need and only have to go half as often.

11:46 am

Judi

Personally, I think there would be less crime if everyone would smoke a little weed. Everyone would be too mellowed out to do anything criminal.

11:46 am

Dorens

my very very straight 63 year old cousin just moved to Washington (Spokane) to help her son. He is growing mj and she will be his HR manager, bookkeeper, etc. I'm trying to convince her to try it

11:46 am

rururocks

yeah.. but the ice cream sections at the store would be picked over more judi :D

11:47 am

kje

lol dorens!

11:47 am

crosshair

it is so much better for arthritis and bursitis and many other things than the chemical cocktails they feed us now,judi

11:47 am

MollyL

And the Cheetos section

11:47 am

rururocks

LOL

11:48 am

Judi

Hee hee. There would be munchie flash mobs in the snack aisles!

11:48 am

Dorens

I do believe it will be legalized eventually.

11:48 am

MollyL

Well she can't be that straight if she is going to work for a weed seller.

11:48 am

kje

actually, in randomized control trials, MJ does not do better than other pain meds at all, not even close. It is an effective antinausea med though

11:48 am

Dorens

it is her son. And marijuana is legal in Washington. Believe me, she is straight.

11:49 am

Dorens

He is not selling it he is growing it. He is a botanist.

11:49 am

kje

I'm with the libertarians on the drug legalization thing... take the profit out of it and the assoc crime goes down

11:49 am

rururocks

I haven't smoke pot since I was 20 I think

11:49 am

kje

ok, the botanist comment is hilarious... instant image of a cop show and an arrest

11:49 am

Dorens

I have.

11:50 am

kje

I wouldn't dare now... I'd risk losing my livelihood

11:51 am

MollyL

But officer, I'm a botanist!

11:51 am

kje

that... and I really don't need an increased appetite ; )

11:51 am

Judi

*Pictures man holding up diploma for SWAT team to see* Okay, stand down, everyone. It's okay. He's a botanist!

11:52 am

MollyL

Judi!! : D : D

11:52 am

rururocks

Do they do blood testing on you kje at the hospital

11:52 am

kje

cheetos do sound kind of good right now... or some brownies... wonder if I have all the ingredients for brownies...

11:53 am

Judi

Hmm. I can see where this will probably go. The U.S. govt. will require you to have an agricultural engineering or botany degree to be able to grow your own.

11:53 am

kje

random drug testing is in all fed contracts

11:53 am

rururocks

wow

11:53 am

kje

state boards tend to frown on practitioners using drugs ; )

11:53 am

Judi

Mmmmm. Brownies...

11:53 am

MollyL

*Imagines mass registration in the Botany departments of universities*

11:54 am

kje

warm from the oven...

11:54 am

Dorens

yeeah, they frown on it.... but random drug testing from the feds... that would kill the desire in my opinion

11:54 am

kje

with a scoop of Bi Rite brown sugar ice cream with gingered caramel swirl...

11:54 am

rururocks

gaaaaaaaaah..I'm trying to lose weight here stop

11:54 am

Judi

Yeah. Losing your job for smoking a doobie would really suck.

11:54 am

MollyL

Random drug testing in lots of professions.

11:55 am

Dorens

i do want to try that icecream kj. sounds incredible

11:55 am

rururocks

not in the wine biz :D

11:55 am

kje

I've never worked anywhere with random drug testing before now

11:55 am

Dorens

not usually for the professioinals... more for the "non"-professionals in my experience

11:55 am

kje

I have also never done any illegal substance... nada

11:55 am

rururocks

I'm sort of anti drug anyways these days

11:56 am

kje

I'm anti using them, but pro legalizing them

11:56 am

rururocks

and I didn't inhale

11:56 am

MollyL

Oh sorry, yeah, "non-professionals".

11:56 am

kje

no seriously... nada. Never tried a cigarette either. None of that ever appealed to me

11:56 am

Dorens

ah, if it were legal I'd like to smoke once in a while now. Not a lot, but once in a while.. nice feeling

11:57 am

rururocks

pot should be legal however.. it's just silly to me

11:57 am

Dorens

research showing it really can be dangerous for adolescents though...

11:57 am

rururocks

*imagines Doren giggling on babble*

11:58 am

kje

yep... kids caught with pot spend more time in jail than for some violent offenses... f'd up

11:58 am

Judi

I agree, ruru and kje. Marijuana busts are such a nuisance for cops. In the meantime, people are highly addicted to me4, heroin, cocaine, etc. Now that's the stuff that will f*ck you up for life.

11:58 am

Dorens

someday I'll do it and see if Ru can here me giggling//

11:58 am

rururocks

I'll know by the spelling Doren :D

11:58 am

MollyL

Not to mention all the high dollar folks tweaking out on their abuse of prescription drugs.

11:59 am

Dorens

now that made me giggle Ru

11:59 am

Dorens

wait. i misspelled hear (here) and I am NOT high at all

12:00 pm

Judi

I was just going to mention that, Molly. Only it's not high dollar folks. Armed robberies of pharmacies is on the rise. Oxycodone, hydrocodone, etc., are all in "high" demand from addicts.

12:00 pm

rubyfoo

and perhaps if they stopped the "war on drugs", they could put that money into education and health care. Same goes for immigrtion reform.

12:00 pm

Dorens

yup. prescription drugs are one of the major addictions of teens these days

12:00 pm

rubyfoo

Whoops, fell off my soapbox

12:00 pm

rururocks

That Rush has been on a tear lately Judi :D

12:00 pm

MollyL

True Judi. But I think we learned from the Rush Limbaugh thing that it's not only the low lifes who have addiction problems.

12:01 pm

rubyfoo

should've left the soap in

12:02 pm

Dorens

haven't we known that for a long time? Hollywood celebrities, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Miles Davis? Addiction problems always -- but then again, maybe they're low lifes????

12:02 pm

Dorens

rush just taught us that it conservatives can have addiction problems as well

12:03 pm

Judi

I dare say Rush learned his lesson in a very expensive way. Also, not only do we have doctor shopping, we have pill mills run by unscrupulous doctors.

12:03 pm

kje

speaking of immigration reform... was laughing this morning about all the rednecks stirred up bc Marc Anthony sung at the all stars MLB game - so proud to be american

12:03 pm

Addicts come from all walks of life.

12:04 pm

all the ones offended my a "mexican" (which he's not) singing God Bless America... the twitter feeds went wild according to CBS

12:04 pm

Dorens

indeed they do

12:04 pm

I read some of the tweets - so sad

12:05 pm

Dorens

ah, well I still am a twitter virgin, and hope to keep it that way

12:05 pm

rururocks

<---twitter virgin too.. but yes the Zimmerman Case shows us racism isn't quite dead yet

12:06 pm

Dorens

it will be a long time before racism dies... and particularly reverse racism

12:07 pm

rururocks

that's kind of outrageous kje.. I hadn't heard that

12:07 pm

MollyL

Not a Twitter virgin. I lost it, but quickly re-virginized myself. Not for me.

12:07 pm

Judi

* hates Twitter *

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

1:23 pm

crosshair

of which we are very proud

1:23 pm

Foffle

-you lucky devils!

1:24 pm

crosshair

so smooth,it is a sin to add anything but a wee drop of branch water just to release the aromas

1:24 pm

Foffle

I'm a Scot and very much ith you on that

1:26 pm

crosshair

never bruise the whiskey by throwing ice at it;)) just waters it down

1:27 pm

Foffle

agreed. the funniest thing I saw was in a little bar on Skye - an American tourist asked for a local scotch.....

1:27 pm

crosshair

here we now actually have "cooling cubes" they are made of highly polished soapstone and come in a pack of 12.you freeze them and pop 2 or 3 in your drink to keep things cool without watering it down

1:28 pm

Foffle

with COKE and ICE

1:28 pm

crosshair

acck!!!

1:28 pm

crosshair

sin!

1:28 pm

Foffle

the whole bar fell silent and just stared at him

1:29 pm

1:29 pm

Foffle

like he was an alien

3:57 pm

Soodle

Oh Teach! Well done. Hat tip to you!

3:58 pm

bichon

Why does Frank need a new Oncologist?

4:01 pm

Deeha

wrong word - mohare- wool made from large rabbit!!!

4:01 pm

Soodle

Gosh, Bich. I don't know. I guess we'll have to wait till Sue comes back. Hugs to both Sue & Frank. ((()))

4:02 pm

Soodle

<Loads of 'wrong words'.....

4:05 pm

Soodle

Upside of slow chog...... I'm actually finding some words....

4:05 pm

MollyL

Soodle, I think a relationship between you and Joe Fin would be perfect. Just the right amount of Irish/British angst.

4:07 pm

Soodle

Molly. Forget about angst. If Soodle got her Soodle claws into Joe, angst would be the least of his worries....

4:08 pm

MollyL

Angst was a nice way of saying sexual tension. <---
Soodle's fault.

4:09 pm

Soodle

The defence rests M' Lud!

4:12 pm

flosey

ra

4:12 pm

Soodle

Oh, boy, but it's hot here these days. No euphemisms.....just hot! Nobody here has air conditioning, and people are beginning to get cranky.

4:12 pm

flosey

hi everyone, in and out again today

4:13 pm

Soodle

Hi Flosey :-)

4:13 pm

flosey

gorgeous day here today, warm, sunny, with lovely breeze

4:14 pm

flosey

bet jilli's down swimming

4:17 pm

Soodle

Unprecedented weather here. Just like yours, Flosey, just no breeze. My office has no aircon, the windows don't open, loads of printers, 'puters, copying machines, all generating heat. Its like a sweatshop!

4:18 pm

bichon

Yikes, what was the temp. It was 95 F here today in Connecticut

4:19 pm

flosey

ugh, your employer needs to at least supply a fan to circulate the air - and wouldn't it be unfortunate if a window was accidentally broken

4:21 pm

MollyL

<---Loves the way Flosey thinks

4:21 pm

bichon

ar 5/12, the first one, pls

4:22 pm

Soodle

We have fans, but all they do is move the warm air around. Lol! If it was raining, I'd be moaning. If it was cold, I'd be moaning. It was 92 F today. Blue skies, no rain & guess what? I'm moaning!!!

4:22 pm

flosey

4:27 pm

flosey

it was a bit vague, molly - brain is a bit foggy

4:27 pm

Soodle

Sounds like a flower by any other name

4:28 pm

MollyL

It's an electrical term.

4:28 pm

flosey

thanks Molly, got it

4:29 pm

MollyL

Soodle, you need to see "Shakespeare In Love" if you find Joe Fin pleasant to look at. You will have to suffer through Gwyneth though.

4:30 pm

Soodle

On my 'Must See' list Molls!

4:31 pm

Soodle

<---- just love Moll's clue @ 4.27! :-)

4:32 pm

MollyL

That list gets longer by the day. By the way, House Of Cards was nominated for several Emmys.

4:33 pm

Soodle

I'm not surprised to hear that. But, more importantly..... When are they going to show the final episodes of Breaking Bad?

4:34 pm

bichon

August, I think. I only watched it a couple of times and didn't care for it. I must be strange

4:35 pm

rocky12

Hi

4:35 pm

MollyL

August 11 starts the last half of the final season here. Don't know when you will get it.

4:36 pm

MollyL

Bich, it's very dark and very intense. I can understand why people don't like it. Also, I am no fan of Bryan Cranston, but I did get hooked on the series for the writing.

4:37 pm

Soodle

Oh, Bich.... I got totally addicted to Breaking Bad. I'm currently watching the whole series again, in preparation for the finale.

4:38 pm

bichon

I watch lots of dark and intense shows, like Game of Thrones, but I thought this was too edgy.

4:38 pm

MollyL

Without getting into details, there are a couple of things I expect from the ending of this show. If I don't get them, I will be VERY disappointed.

4:38 pm

rocky12

I saw the fisrst 10episodes i liked it but not anoughf to keep up with it

4:39 pm

MollyL

Bich, define: edgy. Because to me, edgy and dark and intense mean the same thing.

4:39 pm

Soodle

The Brits do period dramas to perfection, like Downton Abbey etc, but you guys in the States win the peize for gritty realism!

4:40 pm

bichon

It was the who meth scene that turned me off. Too sketchy.

4:41 pm

bichon

Now, I loved "The Wire" which was also about the dug dealing scene

4:43 pm

Soodle

Our national TV station, RTE, made a pretty good series, which I believe has been syndicated. Its called Love Hate. Its not bad! I'm not sure if you guys will get it.....

4:44 pm

Soodle

If it's shown in the US, it will probably need sub-titles. Very strong Dublin accents.

4:44 pm

bichon

We never got the original Danish series, "Forbrydlsen". It became "The Killing" in the US. It was a big hit in Britain

4:45 pm

bichon

pr 6?

4:45 pm

flosey

4:48 pm

You're welcome Flosey.

4:50 pm

lilliann

Aparently it's going to be re-made for the U.S audience like the Killing and Wallander

4:50 pm

bichon

What is Love Hate about? We started watching "The Bridge" and like the first episode

4:51 pm

bichon

Watched all the Wallanders and have read all the book

4:51 pm

lilliann

Are you going away Rocky, and how many have you got on this grid today?

4:51 pm

MollyL

What is on Hulu is the straight broadcast in it's original form. I don't know what they are doing for regular TV.

4:52 pm

lilliann

I don't know Bichon as it's not showing here until next week apparently, according to wikipedia

5:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Orange is the New Black.

5:45 pm

MollyL

If you say gullible slowly, it sounds like oranges.

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No it doesn't.

5:47 pm

MollyL

Another failed attempt at humor.

5:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm having a moment because I can't remember the name of the ice cream man on my block in Flushing when I was a kid. Damn Facebook, who even cares?

5:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's a Netflix series. Damn good.

5:48 pm

5:50 pm

crosshair

5:51 pm

crosshair

lol,a rare busy,happy time when bills can be paid off and we emerge from the panic zone

5:53 pm

crosshair

there is nothing finer than going to the bank,paying off the credit card in it's entirety and getting that 20% interest off your shoulder and telling them to stuff it

5:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

o gee, everyone goes in the PB today for a little fish th4 word.

5:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Telling whom?

5:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Do we even have a PB anymore?

5:57 pm

crosshair

20% ru.it is evil

5:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know. I was just trying to get you to say it again. Small thrills.

5:58 pm

MollyL

That is a high interest rate on a credit card.

5:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yay Crossy.

5:58 pm

rururocks

jeez.. i'd get another card

5:58 pm

crosshair

5:58 pm

crosshair

5:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, mine was a small thrill of trying to get you to say th4 again. I live in a petty world.

5:59 pm

crosshair

i still do not know what word you are reffering to.guess i will be in the pb all night

5:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My back is hurting.

6:00 pm

MollyL

6:00 pm

crosshair

crosshair

6:01 pm

MollyL

I've always considered it all in good fun, but this place has gotten uber sensitive.

6:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am insensitive and boorish.

6:02 pm

crosshair

i am cool with it

6:02 pm

crosshair

i make my best breakfasts in the pb

6:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I love the PB. It's where the cabana boys are.

6:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

or are they fake too?

6:02 pm

lilliann

There are certain words, that we can't help saying in chat, but i'll gladly go to th Pb just for a drink:) There eras cete :D

6:02 pm

crosshair

what about cabana girls??

6:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Since I am already in the PB by choice, why does "Homo" get to be a word?

6:04 pm

crosshair

but hetero does not?

6:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know, I know, we have wops, dagos and hebes too. Enable has issues.

6:04 pm

MollyL

Lack of interest in cabana girls.

6:04 pm

crosshair

and us crackers:)

6:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lack of interest in anything. Too darn hot.

6:04 pm

6:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have to go check FB and see if anyone has answered my ice cream question.

6:05 pm

crosshair

you must try them.easy to make,but limit yourself to two

6:05 pm

penquis

if they are only served in the PB, i can say something naughty....

6:05 pm

lilliann

Not that i use eras and cete in every day language but eh, i get alcohol in the pb!! sometimes us using words in chat from the grid gets over the top, especially when they are everyday used words!i think that some people get a bit too finickety!

6:06 pm

lilliann

Hi Pen:)

6:06 pm

penquis

hi lilliann...

6:06 pm

crosshair

i just go with the flow and try to have fun

6:07 pm

crosshair

because,at the end of the day,you may try dozens of word games,but ever notice how you always come back to babble??

6:07 pm

lilliann

i'm only here for fun Crossy, which is why it annoys me when people get finickety about certain words that we use all the time

6:08 pm

crosshair

well,let's you and i dance then ,lillian!

6:08 pm

lilliann

is your post aimed at me crossy??

crosshair

6:09 pm

crosshair

life is so damn short

6:10 pm

crosshair

so,may as well dance

6:10 pm

penquis

i think that using asterisks for letters in common grid words in chat is a bit counterproductive, since it just calls attention to the words....

6:11 pm

MollyL

It's a game. And it's a chat where people come to have fun. Some people need to get over themselves.

6:11 pm

crosshair

i love the various ways people clue,some are not much better than spelling it out,others are lovely and creative and make you tink.all are different and interesting

6:11 pm

crosshair

think

6:11 pm

MollyL

I agree Pen. And so is constantly chatting using grid words to call attention to the fact that you have "got them".

6:13 pm

crosshair

i do not analyze my conversations for words in the grid to any great detail.it it happens,bad crossy,but i try to avoid it

6:13 pm

rocky12

Hi pen

6:13 pm

Jillyjill

6:15 pm

lilliann

there are days where i'm happy for cryptic clues and otheres where i need a more blatant one plus, sometimes i don't get the U.S /Canadian clues, the same as you all won't get the Brit clues.but i'm happy for any clues, especially as someone has gone out of there way to give them, whether i get them or not

6:16 pm

6:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never am serious when I call PB for people using the words that are common- it's just a silly way of saying GOTCHA. And when will people realize that the PB is a DESIRABLE place to be?

6:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ONLY A GAME!

6:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have to go do something else. anything else. back hurts.

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

Love your comment kaplan, and agree entirely!

7:03 pm

MimiCat

It's funny...when I tell him I'm staying on my own from now on so I don't get hurt, he still doesn't get that he's the one who caused this....ignorance is truly bliss.

9:40 pm

harpjane

oooh, i was thinking about Oklahoma. lol

9:40 pm

MollyL

*Ha4 is in the grid, hands over Babble tiara*

9:41 pm

harpjane

I hate it when I don't even see myself....

9:41 pm

harpjane

so does this mean jilly should go to the pb?

9:41 pm

MollyL

We will just let Wooter have another shot of gin. It's better that way.

9:41 pm

Jillyjill

<----heads to PB...cabana boys here I come!!!

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

sorry, didn't mean to ignore people, just got distracted by hubby right after i said hi...

9:45 pm

TraderKate

welcome back jes :)

9:45 pm

MollyL

Is he serving you food naked again Jes?

9:45 pm

jesdraggon

the PB has been redone as a cabana? sweet!

9:46 pm

harpjane

naked? where? you're trying to distract me, arent' you?

9:46 pm

Minveryork

FaceBook is extremely slow.Wonder if the heat effects the internet. Is anybody else having problems with FaceBook?

9:46 pm

harpjane

is the te7 a compound word?

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

no, the kid's around, and that would probably embarrass him.... just discussing an author.

9:46 pm

Minveryork

yes

9:47 pm

TraderKate

no problems earlier min, i will go see...fb he4/5 i come...

9:48 pm

MollyL

True, I imagine a son would be startled at the image of naked father serving food.

9:48 pm

penquis

i can say with conviction that serious trauma would result...

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

guess it would depend on how they were raised, Molly. But this particular kid spent many years with a super-conservative mother and stepfather who would probably die of shock at the thought...

9:49 pm

MollyL

<---Thinks Pen may have experience with this
: D

9:50 pm

penquis

yes, but professional, not personal.... ;o)

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

Well, heading out for the night. Have a few chores before pillows....good luck Jane!!

9:50 pm

MollyL

Professional naked food serving. What a job!

9:51 pm

penquis

10:07 pm

TraderKate

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

hey, are there margaritas in the cabana?

10:08 pm

TraderKate

ALWAYS jas :))

10:08 pm

penquis

*slurping loudly*...um....margaritas?....

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

:P

10:09 pm

penquis

*taking another turn around the dance floor, glass in hand*....

10:09 pm

TraderKate

well, at least there used to be.....

10:09 pm

penquis

off to bed now....really!

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

*bows to penquis* May I have this dance?

10:10 pm

penquis

aw, thanks, jes....just one before i go!

10:10 pm

jesdraggon

*takes the drink and dances off with it*

10:10 pm

penquis

you must have been attracted by my summer tie....

10:10 pm

jesdraggon

I knew you'd be understanding! ;)

10:10 pm

TraderKate

the orchestra strikes up a rhumba....

10:10 pm

10:12 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, pen

10:12 pm

TraderKate

it's bigger in here than it seems - kind of a tardis-head ;)

10:13 pm

jesdraggon

*wonders if Kate meant to call penquis big-headed...*

10:14 pm

TraderKate

au contraire... the head is perfectly sized form our view point - but OH-LALA, the room in there once you're inside.. all kinds of stuff stored in here!

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

mh? what the crap kind of word starts with mh?!?

10:15 pm

TraderKate

( kate never deliberately insults anyone)

10:16 pm

TraderKate

the name of the guy that created the scale of hardness for minerals/

10:16 pm

jesdraggon

that's impressive, Kate... how do you vent your frustration at people doing stupid things without insulting them?

10:16 pm

TraderKate

wherre talc is 1 and diamond is 10...

10:17 pm

jesdraggon

and nokia is 12 apparently... or so says a blogger I read, and now that you mention it, she JUST wrote a post about that scale.... *headdesk*

10:17 pm

TraderKate

so they don't know they 've been insulted? if i need to vent i don't do it directly.... soooo un-canadian ;)

10:18 pm

jesdraggon

ah, i see

10:18 pm

TraderKate

ya, if someone really pisses me off, i give them a verbal shot.... they don't know they've been hit until they're down ;)

10:19 pm

jesdraggon

verbal ninja!

10:20 pm

TraderKate

htis is the real def. of the mh word, but i find that people get it form the hardness scale hint...
the reciprocal of an ohm, a former unit of electrical conductance.

10:21 pm

TraderKate

i can be... but not when tired i tend to bite my lip then, as i am more likely to be very direct, so i just sut up.....

10:21 pm

TraderKate

shut up, that is....

10:22 pm

jesdraggon

Hah. I just get direct.... not polite enough to be a Canadian am I

10:22 pm

TraderKate

:)
i can work with that if required (just don't tell anyone).....

10:22 pm

rocky12

Did you offer some one a donut ;)

10:23 pm

TraderKate

canadian is a state of mind.....

10:24 pm

rocky12

Are canadians really afraid of the dark cuz in "how i met yourmother" they say canadians are afraid of it

10:25 pm

jesdraggon

heh. i've about gotten to the point at work that someone says "canada" and I want to throw things though... no fault of yours, of course, but I've had 3 health certificates for canadian travel in a row that have been total cock-ups. (mostly due to our state officials, and one due to a doctor who SHOULD KNOW BETTER doing it wrong 4 different ways on the same cert.)

10:25 pm

rocky12

;)

10:25 pm

jesdraggon

he's only been doing this job since 1975, you'd think he'd have figured it out by now!

10:26 pm

TraderKate

poor jes!!!! on behalf of all canadians evcerywhere, and the useless state officials, and ithe semi-incompetent doctor I APOLOGISE!!!!!!

10:27 pm

TraderKate

note to americans: canadians will apologise for ANYTHING.... (except what they actuallly are responsible for)... then you can.....bleeep

10:28 pm

jesdraggon

hahahahahah

10:28 pm

rocky12

My friends canadian and he gets soo mad when we make fun of canada like how you guys are super nice and how you think curling is a sport

10:29 pm

jesdraggon

Especially frustrating since we're only a 2 hour drive from the border, so it's not an uncommon request

10:30 pm

TraderKate

it's true! if we bump into someone... or have a near-miss accompanied by the two-step shuffle, everyone apologises...(sorry, excuse me) even though there is no fault - or the apologiser is actually apologising for the fault of the other pedestrian)

10:30 pm

rocky12

And the way you pronance stuff about.............wait when you type it it looks the same ............lol you know what i mean

10:31 pm

rocky12

"About"

10:32 pm

TraderKate

i hear ya jes. border town here - read "culture clash"

10:33 pm

rocky12

Do you know how to spell canada C"a"n"a"d"a"

10:33 pm

jesdraggon

are the te7 and 8 super obvious in retrospect?

10:34 pm

torgone

Fairly obvious ..

10:34 pm

rocky12

C-"a"-n-"a"-d-"a"

10:35 pm

torgone

They have more to do with the 2nd te4/4 than the first

10:35 pm

TraderKate

10:35 pm

10:50 pm

TraderKate

10:52 pm

jesdraggon

and wasn't THAT an awkwardly constructed sentence? hah.

10:52 pm

jmcnrick

i will always be disappointed that hoss is not an accepted word. . .

10:53 pm

jmcnrick

haha no but i do sometimes open mouth and insert foot!

10:53 pm

Minveryork

My extra money is nice, but summer school is ALOT of work

10:53 pm

TraderKate

11:28 pm

11:30 pm

rocky12

11:31 pm

grannyrose

kate, they metcalled me, and 25 people turned up. very embarrassing to be the subject of a metcall in your place of work.

11:32 pm

grannyrose

pethidine, rocky. morphine makes me very sick.

11:32 pm

rocky12

Well hopefully i actually sleep tonight but it doesnt matter what time i wake up cuz i'm not doing anything tomaro

11:32 pm

rocky12

As long as it makes you loopy ;)

11:32 pm

grannyrose

when i first fell, i screamed and screamed. made a banshee sound like it was singing a lullaby.

11:32 pm

harpjane

I don't know if the sign would have kept me from slipping, granny. I think I pretty much ignore them. Sorry for your accident.

11:33 pm

harpjane

where are you going in 5 days, rocky?

11:33 pm

TraderKate

no doubt rose! doubly humilliating! i hope they were helpful and not gawking...something out of the ordinary will always attrat attention - if only to break up the momotiny....

11:33 pm

rocky12

Are you going to sue for not putting up a sighn

11:33 pm

rocky12

Sleep away camp

11:34 pm

rocky12

In pensilvainya

11:34 pm

grannyrose

jane, i usually see the signs, and th5 were none. other people who saw me fall, said th4 weren't any signs out. one tends to walk a little more flat-footed if the floor is wet.

11:35 pm

grannyrose

rocky i am seriously considering suing them. wearing this thing 24/7 is no joy, i can tell you. the only time it comes off is when i have a shower

11:37 pm

rocky12

I hope thats often cuz those cast tipe things dont let your skin breath and then it get really sweaty and smelly

11:37 pm

rocky12

Pesonaly i say you should sue them

11:38 pm
