1:23 am

rururocks

about the drug trade out of mexico

1:23 am

jillibus

Well, that's a bummer -- the screen on my desktop just went black and I think the hard drive has crashed. So I'm now on the laptop. Why do these things happen on a Friday night? My office TV died on a Friday night too, and that's been another bummer -- I ordered a 19" Toshiba 10 days ago and it hadn't turned up by yesterday so I emailed them. Phone call from them this morning to say they didn't have any left and they were discontinued. BUT it worked out well -- they still have a 19" with a DVD and will ship it by air at no cost and a big discount because it's also discontinued. It should arrive Wednesday or Thursday.

1:23 am

rururocks

very captivating

1:24 am

rururocks

aw jilli

1:24 am

rururocks

your hard drive wants the weekend off :D

1:24 am

flosey

oh jilli, rotten luck

1:24 am

flosey

good thing you have laptop

1:25 am

flosey

lucky break on the TV replacement

1:26 am

jillibus

Can't have too many computers! At least the desktop was made here and I hope I can contact them tomorrow and they can fix it. And I have a complete backup system now.

1:28 am

jillibus

So, I had 128 words when the desktop crashed. I'll try for a few more -- they were flowing well. (Famous last words...)

1:30 am

rururocks

found the sh 8

1:30 am

rururocks

it'll keep your yom kippur up :D

1:31 am

flosey

that was my first 8

1:31 am

rururocks

*smartypants* :D

1:32 am

flosey

thought so at the time

1:33 am

jillibus

got it, ty ruru (but it has an extra vowel from what I've usually seen)

1:33 am

melonheadjujube

hi, wet to bed early, was awakened by killer charley horses!

1:33 am

rururocks

nice going jilli

1:34 am

rururocks

(pulls out paper towels for melon ) :D

1:34 am

jillibus

ouch, melon -- I've had those too.

1:34 am

jillibus

ru, she went, not wet

1:35 am

rururocks

that's not what she said jilli

1:35 am

rururocks

I take things literally :D

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

you're both right, other than my being perfectly dry. typonese strikes agai.

1:37 am

rururocks

I get the charley horses too

1:37 am

rururocks

eat a banana or an orange and stretch

1:37 am

melonheadjujube

These weren't in tha calf muscles. At the risk of sending ruru into a fit of silliness, both inner thighs siezed up. I was howling, my son wole up and got me some water.

1:37 am

rururocks

I had a horrible Migraine last night.. kept me up all night

1:37 am

melonheadjujube

I did exactly that, Dr ruru (;

1:38 am

rururocks

I love it when my thighs freeze up :D

1:38 am

jillibus

poor ruru :-(

1:38 am

melonheadjujube

I took a major bike ride today. Major for me, about 14 miles round trip. COming back was a steady uphill.

1:39 am

rururocks

ah

1:39 am

rururocks

you didn't stretch afterwards

1:40 am

melonheadjujube

Probably not, now that I think of it.

1:41 am

rururocks

if you overdo it and don't stretch you're done for

1:41 am

melonheadjujube

On another noteâ€”no pun intendedâ€”I am loving my Steinway!!!!

1:41 am

rururocks

you're just stringing us along :D

1:42 am

melonheadjujube

It's the key to my success. I'm just a key broad.

1:42 am

rururocks

keep the pedal to the metal :D

1:43 am

melonheadjujube

haha

1:45 am

jillibus

melonheadjujube

phantom: atheist

1:53 am

rururocks

flosey

1:53 am

rururocks

*blinks innocently*

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

minus punctuation that is rather ambiguous.

1:53 am

jillibus

hopeless

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

OK, a blink is punctuation,

1:55 am

rururocks

a blink is a period piece

1:55 am

melonheadjujube

oops I left a comma hanging.

1:56 am

melonheadjujube

ooh, you got a million of'em don't you, ruru

1:57 am

rururocks

rururocks

brushes hands in self-satisfaction

1:59 am

melonheadjujube

2:36 am

sprite

I think 'most spoken through the nose' should be a word.

2:37 am

rururocks

i'd have to go to a nasal academy to learn that language

2:37 am

sprite

true. But you have to go to the PB before that.

2:38 am

rururocks

ha

2:38 am

rururocks

I didn't have that one

2:38 am

rururocks

thanks sprite

2:38 am

rururocks

2:39 am

sprite

2:39 am

rururocks

I won't make it.. I haven't listed

2:40 am

2:43 am

2:43 am

sprite

'most butt oriented'... not valid either

2:48 am

joso

going to be a grind, only half way through

2:49 am

sprite

hiya joso, not as easy as yesterday's.

2:49 am

joso

not quite, missed ya yesterday

2:50 am

sprite

I played late last night, didn't have time in the day. Missed you too :)

2:52 am

joso

busy day, sounds good maybe. ruby and pug had a great dog a thon chat yesterday

2:52 am

sprite

sorry to have missed it. Yes, it was a good day, Fridays are therapy days for me. Taxing but rewarding.

2:55 am

joso

glad it went well for you. Sorry you missed it too, you'd mentioned it had been a while since you chatted with ruby, but I'm sure she will resurface

2:56 am

sprite

we will find eachother again, no doubt. If not here, then through email. How was your day, joso?

2:56 am

sprite

oh, before I forget to tell you: we found a second hand hometrainer and it is now ours! I am gonna train every morning now.

2:57 am

joso

easy day, 4th day swimming, then caught up on some video I've been stockpiling.

2:58 am

sprite

oh nice! How wonderful you are keeping up the swimming.

2:59 am

joso

excelent day, therapy and a trainer, you must be feeling justifiably virtous.

3:00 am

sprite

a little bit, yes :D I also called the clinic and they scheduled appointments for me. Both next month already.

3:02 am

joso

man sprite, your chart is just filling up with gold stars, soon you are going to be the perfect child that the rest of the class hates, lol

3:03 am

sprite

lolollll am collecting brownie points! My therapist said almost the same yesterday... that in a year I will be in their hall of fame, lol.

3:04 am

joso

you have me grinning ear to ear for you, what a great thing to hear from a theropist

3:05 am

sprite

I thought so too. A very nice boost for me in all this scary shit.

3:07 am

joso

betch babble feels better than normal, good things always feel better when you've earned a reward

3:09 am

sprite

yeah, I think you are right about that

3:09 am

joso

where are you going to set up the trainer, *snicker*

3:10 am

sprite

hahaha for now in the living room. Son has returned to reasonable behaviour. But will keep your suggestion in mind for a next time.

3:12 am

joso

kind of glad you didn't listen to me, would hate for it to blow up and be my fault. good that sonny is being reasonable though.

3:13 am

sprite

oh but I listened! And I will keep it in mind.

3:16 am

joso

mostly just channeling my dad

3:18 am

sprite

were you brought up strict, joso?

3:23 am

joso

no, my parrents raised 3 very different boys and we all had the freedom to become ourselves. But there where rules and we understood them. By today's standards perhaps a bit strict, ie spanking was always on the table. i got spanked about 3 times, more often remeber getting off with a lessor punishment thinking I did deserve a spanking that time. But my dad would never have permmited me to behave towards mom as your son has behaved recently, refuse a chore is ine thing, screeming at mom, unthinkable.

3:24 am

sprite

very clear. We do about the same here, although no spanking. But taking away privileges when mishaving.

3:27 am

joso

yea, most people if they aprove spanking hit their kids frequently, for us it was the ultimate punishment, and very rarely used. Banning spanking may be a good thing as so many people have such poor judgment.

3:27 am

sprite

so very true. I wouldn't object to the way your parents used it. But some people... better not at all then.

3:28 am

joso

dad was also big on making a punishment help us understand the consequences of our actions, like little bro having to restore a sport field almost by hand.

3:29 am

sprite

that is awesome. Yes, that really brings the lesson home.

3:30 am

joso

break a neighbors window, pay for it but also go over and apalogise.

3:31 am

sprite

oh we did the same thing. Apologise in person. When they were small, we would come along and hold their hand, but still had them apologise themselves.

3:36 am

joso

then I've always had an interest in the human mind, which includes alot of experiments with kids, and picked up a few things. like standing in the corner should be 1 min per years age of the child. kids percieve time differently and 5 mins to a todler is an eternity.

3:37 am

sprite

indeed. I learned that one from Supernanny, grin.

3:37 am

joso

but 5 mins to a 13 year old is no problem

3:38 am

joso

3 or less and they don't understand lieing

3:39 am

sprite

exactly. punishments and time-outs should help the child understand, not be for the venting of the parent's frustration.

3:39 am

joso

from day 1 we, humans, have a desire to help. one of the things that separates us from the animals.

3:40 am

sprite

do we? I didn't know that. From day one?

3:40 am

joso

yes, improtant they understand why, not think mom or dad is having an off day

3:41 am

sprite

we have also tried to be honest to them about ourselves... if we DID have an offday and didn't react in proportion to their breaking rules, to apologise later to them.

yes, one experiment put 2 treats (bananas or candies) on the ends of a board with a rope loosly attached, if only one child or monkey pulled the rope comes free, both pairs of participants figured out if they both pulled the board would come to them and they both get the reward, both able to cooperate. but then they got an unexpected result, one would pull faster and get the reward before thier parner, both stoped and got thier treat, but the kids would go back and hold the rope so thier partner could get thier treat, the monkeys didn't bother to go back

3:48 am

sprite

wow that is something. I really didn't know. I like that.

3:50 am

sprite

lol my husband is teasing me... I said I would go train after babble and he said he would make sure I had a map!

3:50 am

joso

alot of these experiments are realy interesting. cats just really truly don't give a damn, dogs are way loyal.

3:51 am

joso

to the machine I take it

3:51 am

sprite

no, for when I am ON the machine!

3:52 am

joso

hehehehehehe

3:52 am

sprite

I like that kind of stuff. I once read that donkeys are actually smarter than horses... if you overtax or overload a horse, it will try and walk for you. But a donkey just stays put until he is rested, or he has a load he can carry.

3:52 am

joso

wouldn't want you to get lost, what a nice guy

3:53 am

sprite

he is such a dear, lolol... wouldn't want him any other way.

3:55 am

joso

oysters start as one gender then switch to the other

3:55 am

sprite

oh right. And some frogs can switch to another gender if there is need for that, I believe.

3:56 am

sprite

Hm... if that is true... I think I learned that from the book Jurassic Park.

3:56 am

joso

according to speilberg dinos do that too

3:57 am

sprite

hey it is true. It is in wikipedia too :)

3:57 am

sprite

about the frogs, that is. Not dinos.

3:59 am

joso

yes, I don't think they have a way of knowing that for dinos

3:59 am

sprite

not without making a real Jurassic Park... which I hope they will never do. Let sleeping raptors lie.

4:01 am

joso

I think we probabaly will some time, when it becomes cheap enough, we do have a real facination with dinosaurs

4:02 am

sprite

we sure do. I think most people will have done a paper on dinos at school at least once.

4:03 am

joso

the smaller the kid, the more facinated

4:04 am

joso

kind of like little kids and the hulk, other super heros are cool but for the smallest tykes the hulk is number one

4:04 am

sprite

I remember my own immense feeling of wonder when I learned some dinos were so big, they had an extra kind of brain in their tail root to help them navigate. They developed it because it took a nerve signal too long to reach the tail.

4:05 am

joso

octopusses kind of have 9 brains

4:07 am

joso

they have a dispersed nural network, but a denser network at the base of each arm and another central dense zone

4:08 am

sprite

fascinating. Nature is incredible, isn't it.

4:10 am

joso

it is, I alwas thought it was a tough thing for a sf writer to come up with a new alien, so many different things already covered here on earth

4:12 am

sprite

very true. Most invented aliens are just a play on an earth animal. ET was kinda cool though.

4:12 am

joso

squids comunicating with each other via skin displays. the guys trying to impress girls with visual poetry

4:13 am

sprite

poetry in motion :)

4:15 am

joso

very romantic untill you see some guys try to get in there by whereing the colours of the gals current boyfriend, try to slip by in disguise, lol

4:18 am

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I'm OK, pups are wonderful, huwband is another story! :(

4:23 am

rubyfoo

nd I think we'll finally get some much-needed rain

4:28 am

sprite

sorry about the husband... it is not easy, for either of you, I know. I hope you know I am thinking of you daily and holding you in my heart and prayers.

4:28 am

sprite

a bit of rain is nice for the garden! We had another way-too-hot-and-humid day yesterday and I am happy to see a bit of clouds and rain today as well.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

{{sprite}} yesterday he went to the supermarket at 6AM and didn't understand why it was so dark....

4:31 am

joso

I've got to get some sleep, been nice sprite, and sorry I've got to go just as you are arriving but just dying here, g'nite all

4:32 am

sprite

loved chatting with you, joso. Sleep well.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

don't die, joso!

4:33 am

sprite

aw poor man... he is deteriorating so fast. Quite a worry for you, all the time, isn't it Ruby. *hugs* my friend. I will email you.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I know he probably shouldn't drive, but he doesn't go far and I think taking away his keys would be fatal

4:37 am

sprite

yes, I think so too. And where you live, there are more elderly people still driving even if they shouldn't. Some choices are hard to make, but I think you are right about it killing him if you had to take away his keys.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

happily, he knows the local roads very well and never drives fast

4:39 am

rubyfoo

off to lunch, see you later, cookie!

4:39 am

sprite

no, he takes his time and has a well-developed automatism going for driving and finding his way.

4:39 am

sprite

bye my dear friend, have a good one.

4:45 am

2 boxes of Kleenex.

9:25 am

Anniebrook

upsetting to the max

9:26 am

kje

I thought it was a really good movie, excellent acting

9:26 am

Anniebrook

Hi kje, the acting was superb the the subject matter was upsetting.

9:26 am

MollyL

I'm sure for the emotionally detached, it is a cinematic beauty. Otherwise it would not have been an Oscar contender. I'm just not able to watch sad movies much anymore.

9:28 am

kje

the subject matter is gut wrenching, but something I see people struggle with all the time. how to honor their loved ones wishes when they don't want a long protracted decline...

9:29 am

Anniebrook

her suffering really got to me and I agreed with the husband's decision at the end. What a movie.

9:31 am

kje

the loneliness of the couple having to deal with the challenges by themselves... lack of support, the question re what does it mean to love someone... extremely tough topic, but I think the movie handled it well in all its uncomfortably messy details

9:32 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody. Just looking at the last few comments, I knew you were talking about Amour

9:32 am

Jillyjill

Watching my m-in-law decline is gut wrenching too. Haven't seen the movie...may not want to

9:32 am

rubyfoo

Great, sad movie

9:33 am

Anniebrook

ruby, did you see it?

9:33 am

Jillyjill

And good morning all!

9:33 am

rubyfoo

Yes, when it first came out, before it won all the award

9:33 am

Anniebrook

after this movie, I am going to dig out a Woody Allen film, maybe Radio Days, that always makes me laugh

9:33 am

rubyfoo

It was first-run locally (and without subtitles)

9:34 am

kje

me too, ruby - a local independent theater was showing it... very somber audience on the exit

9:35 am

rubyfoo

Anne, you can always watch Chocolat again

9:35 am

kje

a movie that always makes me laugh is "Best in Show"

9:35 am

kje

that and Kenneth Branaugh's Much Ado About Nothing

9:35 am

Jillyjill

I have to agree with you annie, life has changed me, I need to go to movies that let me escape or make me laugh...

9:35 am

Anniebrook

Radio Days is it for me. Ruby the scene is

3:34 pm

sammysmom

who here is on facebook??

3:35 pm

Soodle

Lol. I've had 'one of those days'. My son was due into Dublin Airport @ 8.10 am. It took me 90 mins to drive there, & he called me to tell me he had slept in & missed the flight. Grr.

3:35 pm

sammysmom

i got on it but can t remember my password... tried to change it.... that frigging site HATES me... and i do not have the patiience to screw with it

3:36 pm

Minveryork

Hello Anniebrrok! How are U? It turned out my AC was not broken because it started working again, thank goodness!

3:36 pm

Soodle

I'm a Facebooker Sammys. Mainly to creep on my kids, to see what they are up to!

3:36 pm

Anniebrook

Minver, that is great! Im fine and hope you are too.

3:37 pm

Soodle

Min..... I'm dying to hear the outcome with the car..

3:38 pm

3:39 pm

sammysmom

thank you annie... i am not wrong then..facebook is a bitch

3:40 pm

Soodle

Less so now, Sammys. Since I got aniPad, I now download game apps. Theres a few really super word game apps for iPad. No wondermyhouse is a mess. :-(

3:40 pm

MollyL

No SMom, you are not wrong.

3:40 pm

Soodle

And clearly my space bar is wonky. Sorry.

3:41 pm

Anniebrook

i am not a facebook fan

3:42 pm

Soodle

The delinquent son finally arrived home, 11 hours late.... Bearing an early birthday gift. An iPhone 5! I'm speechless.

3:43 pm

Anniebrook

Wow! What a great surprise! Happy birthday Soodle!!!

3:44 pm

MollyL

He is early. Your birthday is weeks away.

3:47 pm

MollyL

And good for you, getting expensive loot from your kid for a birthday present. Cha-ching!

3:47 pm

Soodle

I know, but he won't be home again for another while. Its his birthday tomorrow. I gave birth to him 10 days before my 30th birthday.

3:49 pm

Soodle

I remember being referred to as the 'elderly prima-gravida' in the maternity ward!

3:50 pm

Soodle

To be 29 & referred to as elderly horrifying!

3:51 pm

MollyL

Odd similarity. I gave birth to my eldest 10 days before my 21st birthday. : D

3:57 pm

Soodle

Oh my! I look at my 21 yr old daughter, & frankly wouldn't trust her with a goldfish - never mind a baby. You were very very young, Molls.

3:58 pm

sammysmom

i understand that... i was 30 when i had my son and could hear the other new mothers whispering... who is that OLD WOMSHE IS TOO OLD TO HAVE BABIES.. i had to wait... my first two were 10 and 9,, ( I had to grow my own babysitters)\

3:59 pm

MollyL

Yes, very young and I had to forgo a lot of my "seed sowing" years. But I am making up for that now. Hoo ah!

4:01 pm

Soodle

Speaking of childbirth, I listened to a hilarious account of a man going to some clinic in Amsterdam which specialises in simulating labour for men. Sounds weird, but search you tube for Henry McKean labour. I almost crashed the car laughing.

4:03 pm

MollyL

Eh, we would have died out as a species long ago if men had to go through labor.

4:03 pm

Soodle

Thats why I LOVE MollyL! That Hoo ah gets me every time! Love ya Molls!

4:07 pm

Soodle

And now you have great grand kids, Smom? You must have done something right!

4:14 pm

Soodle

Ivesy, sh + *a or coffee+ we usually eat 3 m*a**s a day. Sorry. Clumsy clue.

4:15 pm

Soodle

I think I botched that clumsy clue. I understand it's a Jewish clue.....

4:15 pm

MollyL

That is sad, SMom

4:16 pm

ivesy3

ty soodle was able to work it out'

4:17 pm

Soodle

So, what do you attribute that to S'mom? The internet? TV?, Apathy?

4:20 pm

sammysmom

a lot of factors.... i thin... maybe the internet...the media........ parents not strick enough........ refusal to take directikoon..... lack of religion....diet..... society in general

4:20 pm

sammysmom

strict enough

4:22 pm

Soodle

Thats too bad. It's terrible to think of youngsters growing up without a sense of awe or wonder.

4:22 pm

MollyL

It's sad that having a sense of wonder has gone down the tubes

4:22 pm

sammysmom

i had to make my kids behave and do the right thing (alone) because walt4er was not intere4sted in raising kids.. so i did it) i made them do theirhomework and read and learn bercause i knew it was the right thing to do.... it was hard and i thought they had the backbone to pass it on... apparently i was wrong

4:22 pm

Soodle

Brain-sharing again, Molls....

4:24 pm

MollyL

People don't tell their kids stories anymore. I don't mean read to them, I mean tell them imaginary, made up stories. Parents no longer encourage imagination in their kids.

4:24 pm

3 out of 4 in each set are succesful, maybe 3 out of 4our "ain't bad", but i still ache for the fourth

People look at me funny when I tell them that my kids used to leave out Irish whiskey, honey and soda bread for the leprechauns the night before Saint Patrick's Day. And that in the morning, they found gold coins (chocolate ones) in place of that.

4:29 pm

sammysmom

great molly...i used to tell my kidrs stuff and stories all the time...... how many young people today know wat a sineater is.......none that i know iof

4:30 pm

Soodle

Some of my happiest memories are of my 3 all snuggled into my bed, listening avidly as I read them stories. Of course, I'd deviate from the book, & tailor the stories to include them, & their various friends etc. trouble was, the following night, I couldn't remember the yarns I had made up the previous night, so there was always continuity issues.

4:30 pm

magzel

thank you for the an

4:30 pm

sammysmom

or how their great grandfathers lived and died or even care??

4:32 pm

sammysmom

or that ther great grandmother was a naturalist way before her time (and accused of being a witch) and passed her knowledge on to me

4:33 pm

Soodle

Molly! I've just had a thought! Will we leave out whiskey, honey & soda bread tonight, and maybe our crocks of gold will be filled in the am?

4:33 pm

rururocks

4:34 pm

And, sure, if theres no gold, we can eat the chocolate!!

Oh good. I'm glad they've been forewarned! I hope they're enjoying themselves.

4:41 pm

California winos on the loose in Ireland Soodle. Sound like easy marks. Time to get painted up. : D

4:42 pm

MollyL

*Cough* *Sputter* Not that YOU ever do such things, but maybe your tarty friends.

4:44 pm

Soodle

Sammysmom, I read a lovely book called The Birth House by Ami McKay, which featured a naturalist. It's a good read.

4:45 pm

MollyL

Naturalist...someone who lives within the tenets of the land...formerly known as Pagans. : )

4:46 pm

5:11 pm

Ok. In a typically Soodle (unselfish to the last) moment, RuRu, I'm giving you permission to give my phone number to all millionaires currently in Ireland. Sheesh! The things I'm p

5:11 pm

sammysmom

i could live very cheaply if i had a millikon bucks............. just go and visit a relative or a friend who already has a million bucks.. you can do that if you have money beause then you will not seen to be freeloading... just dont leave

I love being outside in this weather too. But it's more of an "enjoy nature" thing for me than "work".

10:02 pm

MollyL

Yes, I do like to enjoy the nature too, but if I have to work, let it be outside!
