May I please have a clue for any "es" word? Thanks

sorry, peach, the call of nature over-rode you.. i'm doing much better today. had a really good howl this morning, and as usual bounced right back. and dear friend? how are you?
2:08 am

good morning all.
*hugs* for rose. A good howl can do so much :)
2:09 am

peach, yuck on the humidity. i can stand heat...not the humidity.
2:10 am
gapeach
It is really rugged here, Rose.
2:10 am
sprite
humid heat - I hate it too. It is like carrying an elephant on your shoulders all day and night.
2:11 am
grannyrose
it also let DH know just how low i was, and how much pain i was in. i don't think he realises yet.
2:11 am
sprite
very important that he knows, rose.
2:12 am
grannyrose
sprite, i try to hold back..he is so caught up in the care of mother mac. i don't like to put more on his beautiful broad shoulders.
2:13 am
grannyrose
awww, peach. hope you have a fan on you, hun.and drink plenty of fluids, too
2:14 am
sprite
I so understand, rose. But it isn't the way to go. He needs to know where you are, so he can make the right choices when he needs to. And he wants to be there for you when you need him, it'd kill him to find out you held back.
2:14 am
gapeach
I agree with sprite, Rose. I'll bet he will be able to handle it just fine. He knows how much you have done for her and maybe he will be able to help you with her.
2:14 am

2:58 am
grannyrose

grannyrose
oh, yeah, sprite...you, me...and ruby
3:01 am

oh yes! That would be awesome. And jigsaws in between to get away from the tv... and ruby is a marvellous cook...
3:01 am
grannyrose
one day, sweet heart...we will be together...perhaps in monet's garden?
3:02 am
sprite
I would love that. Only one thing lacking... money... must remember to order a big load of that with the universe :D
3:02 am

3:05 am

3:05 am
grannyrose
pugs??? not how it seems...
3:05 am

3:05 am
sprite

3:06 am
grannyrose

Iam not feeling so hot this morning. I got a big hernia and its bothering me--sorry Iam not very talkitive
3:07 am
puglet
I dont know miss marple-sorry
3:07 am
grannyrose
awww, pugs. so sorry for that...
3:08 am
sprite
oh pug, dear one... *loads of healing vibes your way* So painful... hernia in your back? or neck?
3:08 am
grannyrose
miss marple is a detective...an elderly lady...fascinating
3:09 am
puglet
thanks guys-no its in my stomach (about 3 inches above my belly button)
3:10 am
sprite
miss marple is a creation of Agatha Christie. Oldfashioned detective novels. Brillianty adapted for television. Miss Marple is an old spinster, who looks at life in a way she learned from watching small village life. She is adorable.
3:10 am
puglet
and about the size of a grapefruit
3:10 am
grannyrose
pugs, an hiatus hernia???
3:10 am
sprite
oh pug, that is nasty. Will you go to your doctor?
3:11 am
puglet
I dont know rose--I had it fixed about 5 years ago (I had 4) then it came back
3:12 am
sprite
did they just close them or did they put a... don't know the word... put in something to stop the hole on the inside?
3:12 am
puglet
Sprite I dont have a doctor and I dont have insurance
3:13 am
puglet

3:13 am
sprite

Something like that wouldn't be possible here. Am so so sorry to hear that.

3:15 am
puglet
Here I put a damper on your guy's dream trip --so sorry
3:15 am
sprite
oh, I meant someone not having any insurance and no doctor... of course some people can have several hernias, alas. I so wish I could help.
3:16 am
sprite
pug, don't be sorry. There is room for happy dreaming and for sharing and support in babble, and it can all go together.
3:16 am
puglet
Thank you Sprite
3:17 am
sprite
*hugs* hun. Can you at least lie down? Rob had a hernia like that about two years ago and his doctor said to lie down when it hurt.
3:19 am
puglet
Yeah I can Sprite--but sometimes thats hurts worse
3:20 am
sprite
I hope you can find a way to visit a doctor somehow, pug... those darn things don't go away by themselves. I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers and will ask for a solution, ok?

3:31 am
sprite
we will, ruby :)
3:31 am
grannyrose
oh, yeah, ruby..and DH can think what he wants....
3:31 am
rubyfoo
The vet brought Raffie home at 7PM and she seems OK but Rufie was a real problem, wouldn't leave her alone. Finally, I locked her up downstairs and I slept on the couch.
3:31 am
rubyfoo
so that she swouldn't be alone
3:32 am
sprite
you are a darling to those dogs, ruby. Are you broken now?
3:32 am
rubyfoo
It is lovely to see my dear friends in here
3:32 am
rubyfoo
What a day/night, but it' OK now
3:33 am
grannyrose
xoxox to ruby
3:33 am
puglet
Its nice to see you too Ruby-
3:33 am
grannyrose
going to make bed with fresh linen...see you all soon
3:34 am
puglet
fresh linen off the line?
3:34 am
rubyfoo
I didn't think it would be that mch of a problem, but Raffie has a hot spot and vet shaved it, leaving a big open sore and that's what Rufe wouldn't leave alone
3:35 am
sprite
oohhh good is that, isn't it, pug? I love that smell.
3:35 am
puglet
Bye Rose see you later then--x's
3:35 am
puglet
oh yeah! nothing else like it
3:36 am
puglet
Ruby are your chow chow's black?
3:37 am
puglet
I didnt see Ruby taking leave
3:38 am
puglet
Sprite did you recover from yesterday
3:38 am
sprite
no problem, she will be back.
3:38 am
sprite
not yet, pug... it always takes two days to get back to normal for me. Second day after overtaxing is the worst, after that things settle pretty quickly.
3:39 am
rubyfoo
Max, the autistic one (pictured) was black, as was Cleo. All th others have been varying shades of Brown, beige, red, blonde
3:39 am
rubyfoo
What happened, Sprite? I missed that yestyerday, I guess
3:39 am
puglet
I need to step away for afew to get some coffee
3:39 am
sprite
ruby, don't worry, nothing happened. Just my therapy day, it is a weekly thing.
3:40 am
rubyfoo
ack, I thought you fell or something
3:40 am
sprite
no, sorry to make you worry. I am all good.
3:41 am
rubyfoo
I'm so caught up in my own BS that I tend to be selfish.....
3:42 am
sprite
*hugs ruby* Small wonder, dear friend. You have a lot on your plate. I am ok, just waiting for the results on my blood tests to hear more about the liver and sugar.
3:43 am
puglet
Iam back ---Sprite I hope all goes well on your test--and you get back upon your feet real quick
3:43 am
sprite
I will, pug. Have survived much worse, I have faith this will work out in the end.
3:43 am
puglet
Ruby-I went to that site where you got your dogs from and that is a beautiful kennel there
3:43 am
sprite
and welcome back :D
3:44 am
rubyfoo
I think the Mi-Pao chows are the most beautiful but that may just be my opinion.
3:44 am
rubyfoo
Martha Stweart had a Best in Show chow at Westminster and, although he was magnificently groomed, he wasn't as handsome/beautiful as ours
3:45 am
puglet
I love watching those dog shows
3:46 am
puglet
so you have reds now
3:46 am
rubyfoo
they call them red, but actually they have very little red on them, mostly blonde/beige, Brown with black on their faces
3:47 am
rubyfoo
I think breeding for black causes too many genetic problems
3:48 am
puglet
They did have some beautiful dogs there that they pictured but their kennel is the best I think Ive ever seen. Have you ever been there
3:48 am
rubyfoo
I have to go but will see you latyer. I hope you feel better, Puglet!!! xxox
3:48 am
sprite
bye ruby, see you soon
3:48 am
sprite
hug your husband from me
3:49 am
puglet
I have never seen a puppy chow chow I bet they look like little bear cubs
3:49 am
rubyfoo
All of our dogs have been descendants of the famous Jonnie Walker
3:49 am
rubyfoo
you can have him, Sprite!!!
3:49 am
puglet
thanks Ruby have a good one
3:49 am
rubyfoo
yes, they do
3:49 am
sprite
aw sweetie :( I know it is hard.
3:50 am
puglet
Sprite-you dont have to answer if you dont want--but is Ruby's guy mean to her
3:51 am
puglet
I picture Ruby as a little bird fluttering in and out-lal
3:51 am
sprite
I think it would be best if ruby answered that. I spent a couple of days with them and don't pretend to know the ins and outs. All I can say is they don't walk an easy road together.
3:52 am
puglet
It causes me to worry from some of the things she says
3:52 am
sprite
hehehe yes ruby is a bit birdlike. Very small and slender. Strong though, in many ways.
3:52 am
puglet
I dont know if he reads her mail so I havent said anything
3:52 am
sprite
I loved both ruby and her husband very much.
3:53 am
sprite
no, he doesn't read her emails. They have separate accounts.
3:53 am
grannyrose
okay, am back for a short while. dinner on, and cooking.bed made with fresh linen.
3:54 am
sprite
sounds good, rose. Multitasking, are you? :D
3:54 am
puglet
You are just a busy little bee there Rose
3:54 am
grannyrose
as usual, sprite...
3:54 am
puglet
what are you having for dinner
3:54 am
grannyrose
and pugs..
3:55 am
sprite
ever after my breakdown I haven't been able to multitask. But I am starting to be happy with doing one thing at a time. I approach it in Zen style now.
3:55 am
grannyrose
beef lsagne and salad...for all 3 of us.
3:56 am
puglet
sounds good--I even think I can smell it coming through my window-lal
3:56 am
grannyrose
sprite, just ask Our Lord, as to what is the most impotant...
3:57 am
grannyrose
*important*....sigh... am so relaxed here
3:57 am
puglet
do you have to work tomorrow Rose
3:57 am
sprite
I should do that more, shouldn't I, rose. Realised in our talk recently that when I do, I ask for others.
3:57 am
puglet
Iam so glad for you Rose
3:58 am
sprite
that is great to hear, rose.
3:59 am
grannyrose
no, pugs...will let them know i am not allowed to drive...will probably throw a spanner in the works...
3:59 am
puglet
lets all just take a deep breath and exhale slowly and feel his presesnt among us
3:59 am
sprite
oh that is very good, rose. Well, you know what I mean... it is not good that you are in pain and all. But very good there is a strong reason you can't go to work. Your body needs re4, I think.
4:00 am
puglet
so you taking a leave from work then
4:00 am
grannyrose
sprite...please rest in the hands of Our Lord...so much more comfy...lol
4:00 am
sprite
oh pug... you know, I was just thinking, somewhere in the bible it says something about if we come together in his name, he will be there... and I thought, when we come together in babble, it works the same way. No need for physical nearness.
4:01 am
sprite
hehehe will do, rose.
4:01 am
puglet
thats right Sprite
4:01 am
grannyrose
pugs, going to ring both my return-to work officer and my unit manager...wonder what their responses will be...lol
4:01 am
puglet
Have you forgotten Sprite how to just let go sometimes
4:02 am
sprite
yeah I think I have, pug. Maybe I have never known. Am learning though.
4:02 am
puglet
well hopefully Rose they will be understanding
4:03 am
sprite
will be interesting, rose. Please keep us up to speed. Will hold both of them in my prayer as well. To the best possible outcome for all concerned.
4:03 am
grannyrose
pugs...they will most so certainly will haveto be...
4:04 am
puglet
do you know the serenity prayer Sprite? That is a good everyday prayer
4:04 am
grannyrose
sprite, with you and pugs with me...how can i fail...
4:04 am
sprite
oh yes, I know it, pug! It is a lovely one.
4:05 am
sprite
you can't, rose, and you won't. Even all by yourself you wouldn't. You are one of the strongest people I know.
4:06 am
puglet
Only you know your own body Rose and if it cant take the demands put upon you right now then its you that has to make the choices that are right for you
4:07 am
sprite
I second pug
4:08 am
puglet
There is a reason that God gave us pain
4:08 am
puglet
There is a reason that God gave us pain
4:09 am
sprite
I remember at my study, someone asked our teacher at some point why she had to suffer so much. And he said: "Imagine you didn't suffer at all. Imagine you were excluded from the suffering of this world. Now that would be really awful."
4:09 am
puglet
If you are having pain for like walking too much --its like hes saying "NO Rose too much or not yet""
4:11 am
puglet
Have either of you ladies read the book called The Shack?
4:11 am
sprite
no I haven't.
4:12 am
puglet
Its not a long story but it is so good--you got to read it
4:12 am
sprite
just looked it up, looks like a must-read.
Do you guys know the book and movie "Tuesdays with Morrie"?
4:13 am
puglet
Rose must be making her calls
4:14 am
sprite
that is so beautiful. It is about a man, Mitch Albom, who is too busy in life to really live at all. He goes to visit an old teacher of his and finds him mortally ill. This teacher inspires him and many others to really live life. So beautiful.
4:14 am
grannyrose
sorry, my loves..bladder must be emptied...lots to act on from both of you. thanx
4:15 am
puglet
oh that sounds good Sprite---I will have to try and find it--wrote it down
4:15 am
sprite
oh don't say sorry, rose. Bladders rule the rhythm of conversations. Especially amongst women. :D
4:15 am
grannyrose
hmm, the shack...
4:17 am
grannyrose
pugs, the shack...by whom is it written ?
4:17 am
puglet
I dont remember Rose--I will have to look it up
4:17 am
puglet
Sprite might know she just looked it up
4:18 am
grannyrose
ahhh, okay. thanx pugs
4:18 am
sprite
by W.P. Young, rose
4:18 am
puglet
Its a very good story
4:18 am
grannyrose
ahhhh, thanx sprite
4:18 am
sprite
do you have an ereader, rose?
4:19 am
grannyrose
no, sprite.,
4:19 am
puglet
I dont know what that is so I guess I dont either
4:21 am
sprite
it is kind of an electronic book. You can put files on it and read them on the screen. I found the book file for the Shack.
4:23 am
puglet
does it feel like holding a book and can you smell the paper and does it hold the same excitement as turning the page?lol
4:24 am
grannyrose
sprite...know what you are referring to!! i would rather read a book in hard copy. call me weird...not a problem
4:24 am
sprite
lol pug, no. The newest ones do have covers that feel like holding a book. But no to the rest. It doesn't replace loving books. But it is a wonderful way to be able to read everywhere, have lots and lots of books and to share them easily.
4:25 am
sprite
I call you weird, rose. Lovely weird. Wouldn't have you any other way.
4:25 am
puglet
Sprite is our electronic Queen! She will teach us all the newest things out there-lol
4:25 am
sprite
*grin* just hoped I could share the book with you.
4:26 am
puglet
hugs Sprite! I didnt mean to urt your feelings
4:26 am
grannyrose
okay, sprite...
4:27 am
sprite
silly, you didn't hurt my feelings at all!
4:27 am
ivesy3
i think the last name of the author for the shack is young..... also there is a book called the shack revisited
4:28 am
sprite
yes, W.P. Young. Hiya ivesy :)
Tuesdays with Morry is written by Mitch Albom. You will love it.
4:28 am
puglet
I havent read that one--Is it as good
4:28 am
grannyrose
now our dinner is ready... see you tomorrow. xoxoxox to you all
4:28 am
ivesy3
havent read it yet, i just heard of it yesterday. i dont think its the same author though, which is strange
4:29 am
puglet
night Rose--hugs back
4:29 am
ivesy3
oh my bad, it is the same author
4:30 am
puglet
did you read the shack Ivesy
4:30 am
ivesy3
oh yes.. i thought it was great! and you?
4:30 am
sprite
pug: it seems to be very different from the Shack. It takes you to the bible's proof of the trinity. Some call it a bible school in a book.
4:31 am
puglet
oh yes--it was so good I bought several and sent them out
4:31 am
ivesy3
i really enjoy christian reading.. has anyone read books by nancy moser.. book called the lottery and a couple sequels to it.. very good
4:32 am
puglet
now I havent
4:32 am
puglet
thanks Sprite--that thing is nice
4:33 am
puglet
I meant no I havent
4:34 am
sprite
I just read a christian book that I didn't like at all... so judgmental and highhanded. Scary, actually.
4:34 am
puglet
I read all the left behind books and Iam not real sure what I feel coming from them
4:35 am
puglet
what was it Sprite
4:35 am
sprite
am trying to remember... will be able to soon
4:35 am
ivesy3
i read those too pug... intersting but dry at time
4:36 am
ivesy3
ok, time for my mother and son coffee trip to tim hortons.. bbl, have a good day/night all!
4:36 am
puglet
yes some where--I think the first 2 or 3 were the best
4:37 am
puglet
enjoy and bye Ive
4:37 am
sprite
I remember. This Present Darkness, by Frank Peretti.
4:38 am
sprite
bye ivesy, have a good one!
4:38 am
puglet
Sprite is that ereader like a kindle I see on like Amazon?
4:39 am
sprite
yes, a kindle is one brand of ereader.
4:39 am
puglet
can you see the writing really good or is it very small wording
4:40 am
sprite
you can even adjust the font size to your liking.
4:41 am
puglet
oh that would be nice since the smaller prints is getting to be too much for my aging eyes-lol
4:42 am
puglet
Is getting the books on there cheaper then the real thing
4:42 am
sprite
yes, much cheaper. And you can get lots for free as well.
4:43 am
puglet
I might have to check more into them
4:44 am
puglet
I enjoy reading outdoors--does the outside light effect the screen
4:44 am
sprite
yeah and maybe ask around among your friends. Some people want to have a newer one or a smarter one and are willing to give away their old one.
4:45 am
sprite
I have a very simple one, pug, and I can set the backlight to a higher intensity when I am outdoors. It has 3 or 4 settings for that. The newer ones are even better.
4:45 am
puglet
Sprite does it hook to the internet or what
4:46 am
sprite
yes, you can simply connect it to your computer and copy files to it.
4:46 am
puglet
simple is what I like--lol
4:46 am
sprite
same for me. Simple is nice :)
4:46 am
puglet
thank you Sprite for explaining things to me
4:48 am
puglet
You and Rose seem so smart!
4:49 am
sprite
My ereader is an Archos 70. Very simple, but perfect for my needs. Not expensive either.
Lol, yeah, 'seem' being the operative word in my case. Just experience, pug. Feel free to ask anytime.
4:50 am
puglet
did you buy yours off line
4:50 am
sprite
yes I did.
4:51 am
puglet
I find alot of things much cheaper online then in our local stores
4:52 am
sprite
absolutely.It is the same here.
4:52 am
puglet
did you buy new or used
4:53 am
puglet
Ive seen used ones on Amazon
4:53 am
sprite
I bought a new one.
4:53 am
sprite
oh great! Check them out, I think you would enjoy having one.
4:54 am
puglet
I most certainly will Sprite and once again thanks
4:54 am
sprite
my pleasure :)
4:59 am
puglet
You know Sprite Iam feeling so much better now
5:00 am
sprite
oh I am so happy to hear that!
5:02 am
sprite
oh I am so happy to hear that!
5:03 am

crosshair is a wonderful source of information about ereaders too, pug, and also a great source of free ebooks. Ask either of us for a book you want, once you have a reader, and we will try and find it for you.
5:03 am
puglet
server cut me off
5:03 am
sprite
nah, just the normal hiccup at 5 am grid time, don't worry. It is the time the statistics etc reset.
5:04 am
puglet
I like crosshair-he seems such a nice guy
5:04 am
sprite
crossy is a lovely, beautiful, gentle and fun man.
5:04 am

He's my fiance.

Congratualtions!
6:23 am

{{jellen}} I a soooo happy to see you

6:23 am
rubyfoo
hello bizzn
6:23 am
BzznBea
Morning, ruby.
6:24 am
rubyfoo
{{crossy}} are you still here?
6:24 am
hurshy
so what's wrong on this particular day jellen?
6:25 am
Jellen
I'm a little miffed with the man...
6:26 am
Jellen
Turns out he's still in contact with someone I ask him not to be.
6:27 am
rubyfoo
my husband and I have been married since Dec '97 and he still hears from his previous wife. The difference is, I don't care
6:28 am
Jellen
Oh, this is someone who actively wants him in her life.
6:28 am
rubyfoo
hello fan
6:29 am
MLFAN17
hi Jellen
6:29 am
rubyfoo
pretend she's not there and maybe she'll just disappear.....
6:29 am
Jellen
Am I being too insecure?
6:29 am
rubyfoo
but if you discuss it, she'll gain importance
6:30 am
hurshy
when you asked him not to be in contact with her, had he agreed?
6:30 am
Jellen
Yes, I thought so.
6:30 am
rubyfoo
but the days when she contacts him, go and hang out with your friends
6:30 am
rubyfoo
pretend it didn't happen.
6:31 am
rubyfoo
don't let him discuss it
6:31 am
hurshy
well if you agree on stuff then he should keep to it. if he doesn't really agree and he agrees on the outside but doesn't inside and then doesn't go along, then that isn't going to work, if he does that on other thing, that is an unhealthy relationship pattern.
6:32 am
hurshy
honesty, straightforward, clear dealing, these things are important.
6:32 am
BzznBea
Maybe he just doesn't know how to tell her to go away.
6:32 am
Jellen
I think that's what is upsetting me, hurshy.
6:32 am
MLFAN17
First column N?
6:33 am
hurshy
so make sure he knows that, that it isn't so much about her as about the honesty and that if he is just having issues because it's hard to hurt someone's feelings, as bea said, you understand that, and you're willing to help him think of ways and there's latitude there.
6:33 am
BzznBea
Good, hurshy.

There is that damn volcano...
7:20 am
hurshy
in 19-oh-something there was a man put in a prison cell when a volcano erupted and then everyone on the island was killed except him, he peed on his clothes and stuffed them in the air holes and that kept the air inside cool enough that he survived for the few days until someone else came and got him out. and now nobody knows what his crime was because everyone who knew was killed.

name that proper noun...the lady with the scarlet letter
8:02 am
Anniebrook
ding ding ding!
8:03 am
MollyL
And I spelled it right, so no controversy. What did you all think of the kid who was denied his answer on Jeopardy because it was spelled wrong?
8:04 am
Anniebrook
didnt see that program...what was the word?
8:04 am
Trifioso
oh, molly, secondo was SO UPSET over that! also, I told ALL the kids at my tutoring center about it, lest they think spelling doesn't matter
8:05 am
MollyL
The word was emancipation. And Trif, the rules for Final Jeopardy clearly state that the answer has to be spelled correctly.
8:06 am
Trifioso
they could have given him a break, it was a CHILD, and he was going to come in second anyway....
8:06 am
ladycece920
i agree Trif, geesh, i was pleased he got the correct answer
8:08 am
Trifioso
and he was so upset. you just know for the remainder of his life he will be plagued with aholes at school asking him "how do you spell it?"----like THEY could
8:09 am
Anniebrook
that's a shame
8:09 am
ladycece920
so true
8:11 am
Trifioso
phantom: nineties
8:13 am
MollyL
I've read a lot of heated discussions about the Jeopardy thing. One the one hand, there is what Trif is saying. On the other hand, do we teach kids that spelling doesn't matter?
8:14 am
Trifioso
do the people who come in second get to keep the money?
8:15 am
MollyL
Second place winners get a $2000 dollar consolation prize. And he was going to come in second, right or wrong.
8:17 am
RoundBarn
also he people who agree to be on those shows know they may win or lose--was this kid pushed by his folks, as so many young prodegies are? did he really make a choice to be on?
8:18 am
Trifioso
his folks seemed nice enough. I saw the mom try to comfort him during the closing credits, but he was having NONE of it.
8:18 am
MollyL
Hi Roundbarn. Sue and Crosshair have both been singing the praises of the books you sent them. : D

ruru, are you referring to the NBT, NBS,and 55? I guess I don't know too many punk rock bands.

it's because you needed the coffee first to wake up...
11:28 am
MollyL
No, Nef's Brain
11:30 am

And that was kind of the final straw that made me wonder. I'd put toothpaste on someone else's toothbrush, put a load of clothes in the washer and forgot to turn it on (so now I'm behind where I wanted to be in laundry) and one other thing (which I can't remember now)

97 to go, but, alas, there is life outside the grid and I must get some work done. I will leave a plate of cookies here.
11:43 am
Nef
LOL! I DO color my hair, but in my family I'm the one with "difficult" hair. It's baby fine, thin, and very straight so coloring it gives it some body (it's usually foiled, so my real hair color is still there too. I'm telling you that so you don't think I'm a bottled platinum blonde
11:43 am
rururocks
<---knew that already :D
11:43 am

*Conservative nu5 image of Nef eradicated from brain*
11:57 am
Nef
I'm finding I'm forgetting all the plurals here. Either I've entered just the singular word OR just the pl. That's nearly doubled my words now
11:58 am
Nef
thanks for the clue, Molly. Why would spiked hair erase that image of me?
11:58 am
cgypsy
ty nef just went back and found some too
12:00 pm
MollyL
Because spiked hair is far from conservative.
12:01 pm
cgypsy
120 left...must list
12:01 pm
Nef
LOL! It isn't a 12 inch high Mohawk spiked look! It's a "conservative" spike. ;-)
12:03 pm
MollyL
Nef, I think conservative spike is an oxymoron. But I'll take your word for it. : D
12:04 pm
Nef
My hair is between 2 & 3 inches long; the spikes are softer sometimes than others and they are smaller than in my icon too
12:06 pm
rururocks
soft spikes?
12:07 pm
Nef
Yep. I rarely stab DH with them. ;-)
12:10 pm
rururocks
well... if used correctly.... :D
12:11 pm
rururocks
50 is it I guess
12:11 pm
Nef
BRB, I need to go change laundry loads.
12:12 pm
Nef

Lets just say Gabby Cabbies are no longer flavor of the month, and draw a line under it.
3:04 pm
MollyL
So much to be said about "flavor of the month"...but will refrain...
3:06 pm
Soodle
More tea, Vicar? Lol
3:12 pm
MollyL
Golly gosh, I can't seem to find my wh5 gloves and weird hat anywhere. So I will just skeedaddle down to the pub and leave you to have your chat with the Vicar.

Watching 'Bridesmaids' .... again. What a great movie.

*wonders if Soodles next move is Bus Drivers *
3:18 pm
MollyL
You like those "Bridget Jones" kind of movies.
3:21 pm
Soodle
Bus Drivers? Gosh. Never heard of it. IBut I'll give it a miss for now. Focusing all my attention on the forthcoming Breaking Bad.
3:22 pm
MollyL
Bus drivers...as in those y-chromos who drive buses. *Checks the wine bottle empties in Soodle's trash*
3:23 pm
rururocks
not Movie ... move.. from cab drivers (upgrade to Bus Drivers)
3:24 pm
bichon
Only in California are there organic lollipops for the kids
3:26 pm
MollyL
Organic lollipops? Seriously? That's pretty funny.
3:27 pm
Soodle
Aha!!! So THATS why Google didn't throw up anything about the newmovie Bus Drivers. Very very slow tonight, is old Soodle.
3:28 pm
bichon
I think so and during the magic show, one Mom just exposed her breasts and was nursing. and this kid wasn't a baby. I thing the magician probably had a cow
3:28 pm
MollyL
I'm starting to understand some things...
3:29 pm
ivesy3
never saw bridesmaids.. but an american president is on tonite.. and last nite there was an old old movie on with fred macmurray playing the husband of a female president(polly bergen) think it was 1946
3:30 pm
MollyL
I will also refrain from comment on militant, breast exposing, nursing mothers of toddlers. I take enough flak here as it is.
3:33 pm
Soodle
When my eldest was about 7 or 8, he watched a documentary about breast-feeding. He looked at me, utterly horrified, and said, 'Please tell me you didn't breast-eat me'. I happily reassured him.
3:34 pm

3:36 pm
Soodle
<-------retreats to Bridesmaids.. C
3:40 pm
bichon
This was a mixed audience.
3:42 pm
MollyL
I have no problem with breast feeding. I have no problem with breast feeding in public, as long as it is done discretely. I do wonder about women who expose a mostly bare breast to feed their child in public. There are other ways to do this that don't make people uncomfortable.
3:42 pm
bichon
I also think that by almost two, a child can wait to be fed.
3:43 pm
MollyL
By almost two, a child can feed themself.
3:44 pm
Soodle
Did I offend Penquis?
3:48 pm
MollyL
I hope not. And I hope that someday, people can express an opinion in this chat, without it turning into an offense thing.
3:48 pm
penquis
oh no, soodle....no offense taken....
3:48 pm
penquis
i am not easily offended.... ;o)
3:49 pm

Strange, I took your comment about the conversation in chat the same way as Soodle did.

4:03 pm

4:05 pm
penquis
feel free to talk about whatever you want...anytime...i don't understand people taking offense to certain subjects....i can just ignore what i am not interested in... i am happy to do that...but i do understand what you are saying....been here long enough to notice...
4:05 pm
MollyL
Soodle has a good heart and her comments are never meant to offend. Mine aren't either, but that is another story entirely.
4:06 pm
penquis
as i said, i am never offended....only been offput a few times when someone giving clues was somewhat condescending....(no one here now)....
4:07 pm

5:14 pm

But of course!
5:14 pm

8:49 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
joso??
8:50 pm
joso
I don't see anyone named gwen yet
8:50 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
what are you talking about??
8:51 pm
joso
maybe pagemaster is not about you
8:51 pm
joso
seemed a natural for a book doctor
8:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
do i need to look up a movie called pagemaster?
8:53 pm
joso
na, kids flic, you popped up as I started it so if prompted a lame joke
8:53 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
oh, all righty then
8:53 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(a book doctor is an editor, btw, not someone who fixes broken bindings)
8:54 pm
joso
oh, as you are in used books i though you did repairs
8:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
well, i can do minor repairs, sure, but before i was a bookdealer i was a book doctor
8:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
and i still write and edit a little now and then
8:56 pm
joso
do you have an editorial specialty?
8:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yep, unitarian universalism
8:57 pm
joso
thats pretty specific
8:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yep, that's why i'm broke lol
8:58 pm
joso
me too, and I don't edit anything
8:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i'm self publlished, two books for and about UUism, as we call it for short
8:59 pm
joso
I can see the need for a short form
8:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
also published by "real" publishers, but that was a while ago
9:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
one of the folks who was around at the time of consolidation (1961) said our name was as easy to say and rhinoseros hippopotamus . . .
9:06 pm
joso
don't get pagemaster, sucks
9:08 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
advice noted! 8-)
9:09 pm
joso
starting Emperor now, have much better hopes for it.
9:09 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i've been watching dvds of star trek voyager. i promise not to fill up the chat with star trek chat, i'm not a serious trekker
9:11 pm
joso
voyager was much better than the other 2 sequel series, almost as good as the original
9:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
imo, best of all the treks
9:14 pm
rururocks
i just don't see the fascination with Star Trek..
9:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
mainly because they are stuck on the far side of the galaxy therefore no idiot admirals to show up and give them idiot orders. plus, all the smartest characters are women (plus tuvok)
9:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
imo = in my opinion
9:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
the one "token white male" character is kind of a jerk, and later becomes the nurse. ha ha
9:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
star trek was highly innovative (i'm referring to the original series from the 1960s) and i say that while not being a big fan
9:17 pm
joso
still like the original best, inviting submissions from many writers kept it fresh, and I liked the camaraderie the lead characters had, just didn't like kirk
9:17 pm
penquis
DS9 was my favorite...
9:18 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
joso, exactly! kirk was supremely annoying, most of the time, imo
9:18 pm
rururocks
the hammiest actor of all time
9:19 pm
joso
I thought ds9 had a strong start, placed in a very interesting situation, then blew it.
9:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i watched a lot of star trek growing up, having an older brother who was a fan. i just ignored kirk and watched spock lol
9:21 pm
penquis
i think DS9 went through a rough middle patch but picked up... i liked it because it had a little more depth....and somewhat of a longterm storyline...
9:21 pm
joso
I had to fight my brothers to see it, one wanted I love lucy and the other wanted any sport show
9:22 pm
penquis
the only trek series i did not like much was Enterprise...
9:22 pm
joso
back in the time when a house had one tv
9:23 pm
rururocks
we had one tv growing up too
9:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i enjoyed ds9 a little bit, but overall is was dark and depressing to watch
9:23 pm
penquis
same here
9:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i love lucy or sports? wow.
9:24 pm
joso
3 very different brothers
9:24 pm
rururocks
that's a tough call
9:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i can see that lol
9:25 pm
rururocks
I guess it depended on which brother was biggest ?
9:25 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
every once in a while jeffrey combs would guest star, then i would be interested in ds9 or enterprise
9:25 pm
penquis
ouuu....he was very good...
9:26 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
he was on voyager once, playing a character so nasty i wanted to shoot him. he's good at that lol
9:26 pm
joso
flip of the coin, and who got to the tv first
9:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i would have to take lucy over sports, but not a big fan of either one . . .
9:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
and then, let's see, golf over football, curling over golf, lol
9:30 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
well, i'm off, gotta eat the dinner. later, buds
9:30 pm

Hello again Everyone. I was here around noon today and doing well, but then my daughter called and needed to go in for Emergency dental surgery for an abscessed tooth. Now I'm back home and won't finish this again.
11:44 pm
Nef
They cut an incision in her mouth and drained it; but in less than a day it had also spread into her face and she also has a cellulitis with this infection.
11:45 pm
joso
jeees nef, sounds like one serious dental problem
11:46 pm
RoundBarn
sounds awful. Elle drove down with books, but she's at a friend's. She threw in a few words. her Babble name is Alembicc
11:46 pm
Nef
yeah. And to think she was at the dentist having work done on another tooth on Tuesday. :-(
11:46 pm
RoundBarn
alembic, from Tintin
11:46 pm
grannyrose
hello all. nef that is terrible.
11:47 pm
Nef
hi RB. How are you doing today?
11:48 pm
Nef
Between braces, abcesses, root canals, crowns and extractions, that kid has probably $50,000 in her mouth (and she's only 30).
11:49 pm
Nef
alembic from Tintin? Why does that sound familiar?
11:49 pm
grannyrose
good grief!!! do she have bad dental problems as a kid?
11:49 pm
RoundBarn
i had Elle walk around the house and photograph things I think are of value--among other activities. But now she's gone till tmr noon, so I'm doing Babble--far from done. But if I don't close down now, then I'm up too late--the new grid is always tempting!!
11:49 pm

11:50 pm
Nef
Both kids inherited both mine and my DH's teeth problems: I had too many teeth in too small a space and DH has very weak enamel.
11:51 pm
grannyrose
doing okay, thanx.and you, mate? are you chugging along well?

11:52 pm
RoundBarn
for awhile all my daughters were a team on another game, all had tintin names--Elle is still here as Alembic--forget which book--and Gillian sometimes comes out of lurk with a bit of wisdom, she's Rastopopolus. Again, which boo?
11:52 pm
Nef
hi nan, ruru, granny and all
11:52 pm
grannyrose
wouldn't you think they could have inherited something less expensive? like red hair, or green eyes?
11:54 pm
Nef
what game was that RB?
11:55 pm
Nef
Well, they didn't inherit DH's red hair but they did inherit my brown eyes, granny!
11:55 pm
RoundBarn
dont miss the front pages of last week and the week before and presumably this week, NYTimes, why our medical expenses are the highest in the world--but not necessarily our care. We need to get angry--and active. (Nef, I'll ask them)
11:57 pm
Nef
I will check that out, RB; that's sort of right up my alley. ;-)
11:58 pm
cybernan
hi stid - how did the appliance shopping go?
11:59 pm
RoundBarn
The articles give statistics, compare countries, says simple colonoscopies are driving up our costs, and explains why
11:59 pm
Nef
Thanks for the info, RB
12:00 am

I guess I'll look at the new grid and limit myself to ten words.
