3:02 am
puglet
bye Sprite Have a wonderful day
3:04 am
grannyrose
i know pugs. if things don't settle, emotionally, for me, i will go and see doctor. i'm pretty sure it is the up/down of pain levels which are contributing to how i feel. that and the drugs, although i'm not on the heavy-duty stuff yet.
3:05 am
grannyrose
lol, pugs, all i have done for the day is 3 loads of laundry. oh, and remade the bed with clean linen. nothing else, i swear.
3:06 am
puglet
Oh Lordy I just had a huge black spider come out of nowhere right in front of my keyboard! About broke my toe getting to the raid can and back here to put an end to the giant beast-lol
3:07 am
grannyrose
ROFLOL and you are typing with?? from where??
3:07 am
grannyrose
i'm surprised you are in the same room..
3:07 am
puglet
sometimes weeping is a way to cleanse our souls--maybe you just needed to release the stress
3:07 am
Biltong
Oh no, puglet! I have arachnophobia (?) I would've run out the room and not come back!
3:10 am
puglet
I havent seen a spider that big in my house ever before----well it did give me a bit of a fright but I ran for the can and Iam pretty sure I got a squirt on it---well I sure hope I did any way---dont see it any where --put Iam prepaired this time --lol
3:10 am
grannyrose
thanx for understanding pugs, haven't actually boo-hooed yet. i probably need to do so.
3:11 am
Biltong
lol , you are one brave lady, lol.
3:11 am
grannyrose
*stands behind biltong* i'm here for you, pugs
3:11 am
Biltong
lol, rose
3:12 am
puglet
It just might make you feel better Rose-----I have had days when I cry over nothing and for nothing---but I do feel better afterwards
3:13 am
grannyrose
by the way, a sponge mop is a great weapon for spiders...long handle, and the get squished by the sponge which soaks up the green gunge
3:13 am
Biltong
Yes, a "good" cry does help.
3:13 am
puglet
I dont mind stuff like that when I know its there but to think that thing may have been here for god knows how long is something else
3:14 am
puglet
guess I better pull out the furniture in here and try to go on a hunt today-lol
3:14 am
Biltong
rose, I believe you have some very large spiders in Australia?
3:15 am
grannyrose
yeah...big hairy ones, which wave their legs at you, at snigger
3:16 am
Biltong
Oh noooo, lol. I don't know what I would do without my spider catcher (my husband) lol
3:17 am
grannyrose
i tell when of one of those walks across the head-lining of your car...you get out, real quick, and be blowed to the peak hour traffic.
3:18 am
puglet
well the things do come in handy as bug catchers but to share my coffee and babbling with them is another story
3:18 am
grannyrose
and you CAN drive a car from the passenger seat, 3 point turn and park...i know, i did it. didn't stop screaming for a week.
3:18 am
puglet
lol I can just see you doing that Rose
3:19 am
grannyrose
blasted spider sat on the steering wheel and sneered at me. * indignant look*
3:20 am
puglet
how did you get back into the car
3:20 am
Biltong
ROFL, rose, ha ha
3:21 am
grannyrose
big truckie behind me, after yelling at me to get back in, got out of his truck, and shooed it out for me. otherwise i think i'd still be standing there.
3:21 am
grannyrose
and that was 20 years ago...
3:22 am
puglet
rotfl---thats too funny!
3:22 am
puglet
thank God you didnt wreck or cause a wreck
3:23 am
grannyrose
* grinning rather fatuously* let's hear it for the macho male.
3:23 am
Biltong
I agree puglet, it sounds hilarious, but could have been really serious.
3:24 am
grannyrose
car was already stopped, red light...was amazingly simple to put it into neutral, and put the hand-brake on...
3:26 am
Biltong
Have to be off now. Take care. Rose look after yourself and I hope you get to see Braxton real soon. Puglet, happy hunting, lol
3:27 am
grannyrose
next time, i had the son, already prominent at this time, in the passenger seat. dratted thing was walking calmly across the dashboard. i quite calmly said to him, son, when i stop this car in a few minutes, i want you to open the door, AND GET OUT. spider succumbed to the sole of my shoe..lol
3:27 am
grannyrose
xoxox, biltong. hope you have a good one, hun. and thanx for your good wishes for braxton.
3:28 am
puglet
Bye Bilton--take care
3:29 am
puglet
Rose--thanks for giving me a good laugh!
3:32 am
puglet
So I take it you have a fear of spiders then-lol
3:33 am
grannyrose
oh, yeah, the only spider i can stand alive is a daddy-long-legs...which is really weird. they are the most poisonous of all, except they cannot perforate the human skin.
3:34 am
Lindrickway
Oh Rose they are my nemesis as they fly right at you!
3:34 am

3:36 am
Lindrickway
I think they bother me cos they are harmless, had to protect the children from dangers, but they are not dangerous........lol
3:37 am
Lindrickway
there is some sort of twisted logic in there....really!
3:37 am

well, it is. long ago the chat had a button, you had to click that you want to enter your chat. when he updated the site to this version, no button. this began to happen. we said, doc, we need the button. people are accidentally putting words in chat. he said, people will get used to the new way and not accidentally put words in anymore. you don't need a button. years later, here we are.
6:56 am
Scrabbler
But free clues are appreciated.
6:56 am
hurshy
personally i would prefer them not to get accidentally entered but i do not blame the person, i blame the person who took away the button and refused to reinstate it.
6:57 am

and hurshy does not FORGET, you see
6:58 am

I should hope not.

everyone else forgets about the button... doc forgets we ever had a button... but HURSHY REMEMBERS THE BUTTON!!!!!
7:00 am

Well, Doc started working on a new version a few years ago, so maybe someday there will be a button.
7:00 am

I forgot about the button hurshy and you & I joined the same year ... lol

i also remember when wheel of fortune had that big thing that would turn with prizes on it and the contestants had to pick stuff they wanted, instead of getting cash. that was fun for viewers but probably less fun for the contestants.

From what I have heard, there will be no new version. Not enough dollars being generated here to support that.
7:02 am

Hello Molly and Liz.
7:02 am

As there has been no version after several years I figured Doc lost interest.

Yikes, I must get ready for work. It's my on-call weekend. Work from 8:30 til we're done, then on-call til Monday 8am.

Looks like a long weekend for you but I hope it's an easy one!
7:04 am
MollyL
What I refer to as "the internet bonanza" started to plateau and then bottomed out around 2009. Membership on all kinds of boards began to dwindle. I think the newness of the internet started to wear off on a lot of people.
7:04 am
Scrabbler
It will be a beautiful summer weekend so I hope it will be a quiet weekend.
7:05 am
Scrabbler
Parents obsess less about their kids when the weather is nice and they can be outside playing.
7:06 am
MollyL
Well good Scrabs. I hope all the kids are outside getting their fresh air and Vitamin D and you can enjoy your day.
7:07 am
Lizlin
I'm with you, there Molly - sadly know some kids that rarely venture outside :(
7:11 am
MollyL
That was never an option for my kids when they were younger. Outside time every day was mandatory. And I didn't really have to enforce that much, as that is where they preferred to play.
7:12 am
MollyL
Nice to have you back, Liz. : )
7:12 am
Lizlin
Good to be back :)
7:13 am

Though it was a pretty amazing month!

hi hursh, dawg and yay dawg!
8:06 am
hurshy
because, well, i didn't, i never saw fa4. but i DID see her on an episode of a PBS math show called square one. so when i met her, i said, weren't you on Square One once?!! and she was all, yeah, i guess i vaguely remember doing that. she probably doesn't get that one a lot.
8:07 am
hurshy
i wish PBS would be better about releasing their old stuff on DVD. i want to be able to buy square one and also the complete mr. rogers.
8:08 am
hurshy
i don't see how that can't be a money making proposition for them.

found him these great glyceryn tabs for diabetics at the pharmacy.you get 10 or 12 in a tube for under 5 dollars and you can keep them in car or purse or whatever and they are for emergencies when you bottom out in public and you need a safe thing to take to recover a bit
10:16 am
welki
i lost a good friend to a hypoglemic episode. i talked with my endocrinologist about it - he knew i was scared about having lows while sleeping, so he took me off insulin and prescribed a new-ish medicine called Victoza that is also injectable, but does not cause glucose levels to plummet. So that, in addition to some oral meds I take and watching my carbs - controls it pretty well.

Ah 4/5! Listen up! Ho 6/36 babblers! My monkeys put a lot of ef 6/36 in helping with grid. I oohed and ah 5/14 over my fireworks fo4/8 ho5/14 ago.Now here's a story with a sl 4/5 of clues. When I was younger I ro 4/5 in a car with some friends who were drinking&driving which wasn't a good id4/5. They played the radio so loud that it was de 6/30ing and they were speeding too.The cops tried to pull us over, but my friend managed to elu 4/5 the police. I fr4/11ned and told friends to slow down or we'd crash.Friends sl4/5red their words and accused me of being a party pooper and did not he4/6 my warning. My friend went onto the other si 4/5 of the road. Other driver had to beep their ho 4/5 to tell friend to get out of the way. The next thing I knew,I heard screeching of breaks ho4/9ing in my ears. I won't get into the lu 5/14 details of the crash,but I will say that I was the only one fortunate enough to survive the crash.Ever since then, I have sw5/18 off drinking and I'll also never ri4/5 with a drunk driver ever again!Husband is being me4/5 and ru 4/5.My husband is running his fo 4/8 mouth because he wants the computer.He has been in a do 4/6 mood ever since I started babbling. I'm going to give him computer or he will start to yell at me in a nasty to4/4.I'll be back in an ho 4/6 to clue again. Goodbye!I will be back later

Soodle
If you're stirring the pot, say, clockwise, does it follow that all other bodily actions must also be done clockwise? Educate me, please.
6:42 pm
rururocks

6:53 pm
MollyL

MollyL
Hello dear Trif
7:12 pm
Trifioso
how is everyone?
7:13 pm
TraderKate
very well, and yourself trif?
7:16 pm
Trifioso
very well. Did a TON of decluttering in my room today - feel like I am the one who lost all that weight. What DO I keep so much junk for?
7:17 pm
TraderKate
just in case you need it? ... or someone else needs it? ...or just 'cause it was still good, so shouldn't be tossed? lol
7:17 pm
Trifioso
I made several piles - keep, toss, donate, recycle, stuff that belongs in another room, etc
7:18 pm
Trifioso
very little actual trash, of course. more like things I have enjoyed for a while, then the time passed. I have quite a few books I am going to list on amazon
7:19 pm
TraderKate
i have a hard time parting with books... which makes moving day hell on wheels ;)
7:19 pm
Trifioso
I used to have a LOT harder time than I do now
7:19 pm
Kaplan the Magne
that is the essential mission of life. to know what to do with the stuff.
7:20 pm
Trifioso
yes, kaplan. But you can't clean clutter. You can only eliminate it.
7:20 pm
Trifioso
I still need to go through my closet and weed out clothes for donation.
7:21 pm
TraderKate
i don't envy that job... trying everything in your closet on.. then parting with things you may not wear, but still fit
7:21 pm
Minveryork
Hello Trifioso! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.
7:22 pm
Trifioso
hello min dear! how are you>
7:22 pm
Trifioso
no, it's not great Kate, but things need to be weeded out
7:22 pm
MollyL
Oh Trif, I have a walk in closet that is about to get purged like that. I am a bit afraid of the task. But it must be done.
7:22 pm
Minveryork
I'm well. Been saving last one since 3:04 & just hangin' out
7:22 pm
Trifioso
mine is a walk in as well, molly. I took over the entire thing when mr hate left
7:23 pm
Trifioso
Im trying to be diligent in just babbling for a break, min. I have had good momentum all day, and don't want to peter out
7:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Mr Hate left finally? Good.
7:23 pm
MollyL
And I don't need to try on everything to know whether it stays or goes.
7:24 pm
Trifioso
mr hate has been gone for years, kaplan. he recently married his partner of several years. forward ho!
7:24 pm
Trifioso
I will end up trying on a lot of it, molly, but not all of it. Im in the mood to purge, so this is a good time for me to strike it
7:24 pm
MollyL
And Trif is all tangled up with a new he-man.
7:25 pm
Trifioso
we will have been dating 8 months tomorrow. whee!
7:26 pm
MollyL
♥'s and flowers, birds chirping, rainbows twinkling...
7:26 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Oh- I knew that- I thought Minver.
7:26 pm
Trifioso
not sure we will cross paths tomorrow....we did hang out a bit today though, with tertiare in tow.
7:26 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I got confused. I haven't been here much. Sorry. I remember Mr Hate.
7:27 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Dating...
7:27 pm
Trifioso
hang on - I didn't realize min was having issues in that area - everything okay, Min?
7:27 pm
MollyL
I am still rooting for Min to get her doorway to a new and better life.
7:29 pm
Trifioso
I need a clue please - lone A in top row, second column?
7:29 pm
MollyL
Run af5 of the law
7:29 pm
penquis

7:30 pm
penquis
sorry...wrong column....
7:30 pm
Trifioso
thank you!!!
7:31 pm
Minveryork
My husband is once again looking for work.It seems like he has a problem with every job he gets! Really thought this last one was going to work out.Hope it isn't another 2+ years of unemployment for him. He had interview on Friday that he drove 2 hours for. I hope he gets the job.
7:31 pm
Trifioso
I hope so too min!
7:33 pm
MollyL
Oh sorry Min, I must have missed something. I thought you were selling the house and going your separate ways.
7:36 pm
Minveryork
Can't go our separate ways if hubby cannot support himself
7:37 pm
Trifioso
if you really need to go your separate ways min, that becomes his problem, not yours, and I say that with great respect and love
7:37 pm
MollyL
Well, yes you can. You are not responsible for the fact that he can't hold a job. He will get his share of the house sale to support himself and then he is on his own.
7:38 pm
MollyL
What I said was also said with big concern for you, Min.
7:40 pm
Minveryork
For me, it is easier said than done. It will happen when the time is right. The time is just not right for either one of us.
7:44 pm
MollyL
Okay Min, I just hope you remain as concerned about your happiness as you are about his.
7:46 pm
Trifioso
very, very well said molly
