Why would it land you in the PB? However, I am not smart enough to know the answer :)

2:12 am

Dachef

*in the voice of Darth Vader* I find enable's lack of acknowlegement of the word 'deathray' to be....disappointing.

3:08 am

sprite

ptsd got triggered in group, rose, and then again in family therapy. But I weathered it reasonably well.

3:08 am

grannyrose

3:08 am

sprite

a tad, at the very most, joso. Rose belongs here. :)

3:09 am

puglet

3:10 am

puglet

Sprite did the family therapy not go well

3:11 am

Lizlin

Just be sure that the cruise stops at ports near all of us!

3:11 am

joso

*chance

3:11 am

sprite

3:11 am

sprite

3:11 am

Lizlin

3:12 am

grannyrose

3:12 am

sprite

I was, pug, but barely. So all in all it is a bit... restless inside of me this week.

3:12 am

3:17 am

i've got to tell you all a story. ages ago, don and i were leading a motorbike ride down to the gippsland area of our state. don really didn't want to go to Sale. so he planned the entire ride to miss it. on the ride, at a roundabout, he took the wrong exit and the whole ride ended up in....you guessed it....Sale.

3:20 am

sprite

roflolllll!

3:20 am

Lizlin

lol!

3:20 am

joso

hehehehe

3:20 am

puglet

lol--thats funny for sure

3:21 am

grannyrose

while we were away our GPS unit kept giving us wrong instructions. coming home, don took over and ignored the instructions. the GPS went berserk. don said, you have my permission to cancel the instructions if you like, and if we end up in sale, throw the GPS out of the window.

3:22 am

puglet

lol!

3:22 am

joso

ohh, I like don

3:22 am

sprite

roflololollll

3:22 am

puglet

so did the gps make it home too

3:22 am

Lizlin

Gotta love sat navs!

3:22 am

sprite

nothing beats a good man with a sense of humour

3:23 am

Lizlin

How about a bad man with a sense of humour?

3:23 am

grannyrose

once i cancelled the trip instructions we all, including the GPS regained some modicum of sanity.

3:23 am

sprite

I kind of outgrew the bad boy fascination, grin

3:24 am

sprite

*giggles* And here I am, still using maps...

3:24 am

puglet

really Sprite?

3:24 am

sprite

yeah, pug. My former boyfriend was one. Much more fun in the distance than as a partner.

3:24 am

Lizlin

My hubby used to laugh at me in London. We'd set the sat nav and I'd ignore it 9 times out of 10 because I knew better routes! Sat nav used to get sooooo upset!

3:25 am

joso

suddenly no longer part of the conversation, I see this migrating to shoes and shopping next.

3:25 am

Lizlin

Lucky me! Good man! Good sense of humour!

3:25 am

Lizlin

Not for me Joso!

3:25 am

sprite

you are SO part of the convo, joso. We need you. We love you.

3:25 am

sprite

shoes? Not interesting. Shopping? A drag.

3:26 am

grannyrose

oops, girls , the joso is getting restless. quick, someone do something!!!

3:26 am

Lizlin

For sure we do!

3:26 am

puglet

Hugs Joso, heres a kleenex

3:26 am

Lizlin

Get out the tutu, Rose!

3:26 am

sprite

and you are both, joso. A good man. With a sense of humour.

3:26 am

joso

sorry sprite, have nothing to contribute to the goodman badman debate, ask my brother

3:26 am

grannyrose

hey, sprite speak for yourself, shoes are always an important topic...lolol

3:27 am

sprite

don't worry, joso, bad boys are overrated ;)

3:27 am

puglet

yep, nice guy and funny too and -----------------

3:27 am

sprite

lol rose! Well I do need new ones. My pedicurist said so. Appointment with podotherapist next week.

3:28 am

sprite

btw, joso, I see you have your dog icon back! Long time ago. Only... not sure about the profile text in this case :D

3:28 am

Lizlin

Love living here! Rarely wear shoes, other than flip flops!

3:28 am

sprite

oh sounds divine, Liz

3:29 am

Lizlin

lol, Sprite - just had to go and read the profile! Not sure what Flosey or Crossy would think!

3:29 am

grannyrose

liz, naughty girl...they are thongs, no matter what the americans say...* giggle *. you's an aussie now, girl

3:29 am

Lizlin

Thongs in the UK have a different meaning. Can't bring myself to refer to flip flops as thongs!

3:29 am

joso

ah, haven't updated the text yet

3:29 am

sprite

thongs? I thought thongs were butt flossers?

3:29 am

puglet

thongs here are underwear

3:30 am

Lizlin

Exactly, Sprite.

3:30 am

grannyrose

whoot!!!! aussie, aussie, aussie!!

3:30 am

Lizlin

First time I heard flip flops called thongs here, I laughed so much!

3:30 am

sprite

lol... will try and remember, rose. And not mix them up. Would be funny, a UK thong on my feet.

3:31 am

puglet

I bet Rose has thongs and flip-flops

3:31 am

Lizlin

Definitely Aussie Aussie Aussie but I have to draw the line somewhere! Have to sheepishly admit, do want England to win the cricket!

3:31 am

sprite

*pictures rose in tutu, thong and flipflops*

3:31 am

grannyrose

nope, just 2 types of thongs....

3:31 am

joso

butt flossers, flosey is going to have a few choice words for you

3:32 am

sprite

hehehe joso :)

3:32 am

grannyrose

i hang the flip flops off the ea4

3:32 am

Lizlin

lol!

3:32 am

sprite

amazing, rose. And you still are looking hot!

3:32 am

Lizlin

Actually I have got a pair of flip flop earrings - worth the pb for that!

3:33 am

sprite

3:33 am

sprite

:) And now I can go in myself and enjoy all the goodies... *looks innocent*

3:33 am

grannyrose

3:34 am

3:35 am

rbud

3:35 am

Lizlin

3:35 am

"Hey honey, please get my thongs for me? I left them at the hairdresser's..."

3:36 am

sprite

enjoy your dinner, Liz *hug*

3:36 am

puglet

3:36 am

3:37 am

sprite

*Big grin* I think so, rbud

3:37 am

rbud

in one of the sinkholes we explored, a possum lives in and around the steps going down into it. it was actually begging for food. when DH put his hand out to pat it, it sniffed his shirt sleeve, decided it smelled like good tucker, and promptly bit him, through his shirt sleeve.

3:54 am

sprite

awwww! Poor Don!

3:54 am

puglet

oh no, poor Don

3:55 am

puglet

3:58 am

grannyrose

when you see the photos you will be amazed. these are small volcanic craters, which once were just a hollow under the crust. at some stage the top collapsed and left a small crater, open to the air.

3:58 am

sprite

puglet

3:59 am

grannyrose

one of the land-owners, in the 1800's, land-scaped his, and it is planted as a formal garden. just amazing.

4:00 am

puglet

4:00 am

grannyrose

some werepart of people's property, others are public/government owned.

4:02 am

Hows things with you Ruby

4:20 am

rubyfoo

cold here,but no precipitation we're almost cold enough for snow and I'm not looking forward to it

4:21 am

rubyfoo

my son is now in regular touch, so I am much happier, even if the "situation" hasn't been moved forward. At least he's helped me organize a pan of action

4:22 am

puglet

we had snow and cold temps until this weekend and we now have this freaky warm spell that is putting us in the path of storms today

4:22 am

rubyfoo

4:23 am

puglet

Iam so happy for you Ruby. You need him to be there for you

4:23 am

puglet

yes we do Ruby and we are under a watch for them today along with bad winds

4:24 am

rubyfoo

4:24 am

puglet

we've already have had a thunderstorm and heavy rains this morning

4:25 am

puglet

its still dark out and cant see the sky as of yet--thats what I hate most. Can not see the sky

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I feel the same way. When we have the bad windstorms at night, it iss much scarier than in daylight

4:27 am

puglet

I know, in the light you can pretty well read the signs of a bad storm coming

4:27 am

ivesy3

4:50 am

{{{{{{{rose}}}}}}}

4:50 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake! are we into miracles now, joso?

4:50 am

o-o

the profile pic is intended to add emphasis to the quote in the profile.

4:50 am

joso

yea, wasn't buying it myself

4:51 am

sprite

yeah, I guessed as much, o-o. Not sure about God, but am very sure the church is hostile towards women.

4:51 am

grannyrose

o-o, some women in my mother's former church insisted on calling God, her. which is completely against what the bible says. the word is ' abbe ' i believe, which means father, not mother.

4:53 am

as the man said, who almost died and was asked if he had seen God while he was deadish: "I did. She was beautiful, voluptuous and black."

*giggle* sprite, my friend june and i have this delightful discussion every so often. we can imagine adam saying, but SHE gave it to me....

4:53 am

joso

I would think god, ya know being god and all, is whatever he-she-it damn well wants to be at any given moment.

4:54 am

sprite

*grin* indeed. And I think so too, joso.

4:54 am

grannyrose

something to think about, God has the face of your worst enemy.

4:55 am

ivesy3

i agree with joso!!!!! yeaaaa

4:55 am

sprite

I, for one, can't believe there is a Father if there is no Mother. And on a more serious note, I also think it is impossible to define God. There are no human words that can catch the essence.

4:55 am

sprite

oh rose, yes. That is a very good one.

4:56 am

ivesy3

a person has to have great faith to belive that a being created all the universe.....just poof and it wsa there

4:56 am

grannyrose

sprite, the bible tells us, heaven is completely beyond our perception. i really get a giggle from all these preachers claiming th4 they know what heaven looks/feels like.

4:57 am

mab

g-d is ineffable

4:57 am

sprite

on the other hand, ivesy, look at for instance a ladybug and convince yourself it is a random act of nature...

4:57 am

ivesy3

how about the books people are writing claiming they were in heaven.. even the little boy

4:57 am

sprite

rose, too true. As soon as people think they KNOW, they have stopped believing.

4:57 am

sprite

hiya mab :)

4:58 am

mab

hi all.

4:58 am

mab

just here for an insomniac moment

4:58 am

joso

hey mab

4:58 am

ivesy3

i know sprite... sometimes when i look at things i say wow god really did a beautiful job... other times i say... y does god let this happen...

4:59 am

sprite

had to look up ineffable. Yes, indeed mab, that is what I mean

4:59 am

sprite

same here, ivesy. That is about the hardest part of faith, I think. Hunger and war and suffering... murdered children, abuse... hard to figure out how God can let it all happen.

5:00 am

ivesy3

i say god y, did u let my son become an addict.. but i know it wasnt god.. it was my sons choice..but y did he give him that choice... goes on and on

5:00 am

sprite

sorry you can't sleep, mab, but glad to see you

5:08 am

joso

thats simple, free will. free will means some people will make evil choices. just like free speech, if you want free speech, be prepared to hear some things you don't like.

5:09 am

puglet

didnt think Dr. God was going to let me back on

5:09 am

joso

rough time connecting?

5:10 am

mab

we have free will, as joso says. perhaps g-d does not intervene. an idea.

5:11 am

puglet

keep getting red boxes and having to refresh

5:11 am

o-o

There are about 34,000 different Christian groups in the world since AD 30. This is according to the World Christian Encyclopedia published in 2001.

5:11 am

mab

not that, if inclined, one should not ask for intervention

5:12 am

grannyrose

hello, hello

5:12 am

grannyrose

oh, good, back in

5:12 am

puglet

you there Rose

5:12 am

o-o

What I find so intriguing is how all these people are inclined to tell us about what we are told we are incapable of understanding.

5:12 am

mab

that's what we get for discussing theology

5:13 am

grannyrose

da4 babble lost my last 2 posts.

5:13 am

puglet

I had trouble too Rose and Sprite must be too

5:13 am

sprite

same for me... babble had more than just a hiccup

5:14 am

grannyrose

exactly, o-o.

5:14 am

puglet

yeah we are all back!

5:14 am

sprite

true, o-o

5:15 am

puglet

so true OO

5:15 am

sprite

lol mab :)

5:15 am

mab

a big hiccup and a message from dr. g-d.

5:15 am

sprite

ok, may I please beg a clue for the de6/36?

5:16 am

mab

divine intervention?

5:16 am

mab

sugar, sprite.

5:17 am

mab

uses the big point letter

5:17 am

o-o

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.

we are in god's presence

5:17 am

grannyrose

combo word meaning ' right ' de + cross + ***pic of capricorn/cancer

5:17 am

sprite

thank you both

5:18 am

sprite

we are always in god's presence, then, here in Babble. We gather in the name of dr. God.

5:18 am

grannyrose

lol, sprite...love it

5:18 am

puglet

A realationship with God does not just come from going to church, I think

5:19 am

sprite

definitely not, pug. And we don't need a church to gather in His name either.

5:19 am

grannyrose

right pugs. our relationship with God becomes real for us when He steps in, and changes our lives, for the better.

5:20 am

mab

no, it comes from attending shul :]

5:20 am

o-o

When I am delusional, I have my own gathering

5:20 am

mab

kidding

5:20 am

sprite

one of my favorite bible quotes is (don't know the exact wording) that when you take one step towards God, he takes a whole lot of steps towards you.

5:20 am

grannyrose

awww, o-o. [[hugs]] mate

5:20 am

sprite

lol mab! :D

5:20 am

sprite

o-o :D :D

5:21 am

grannyrose

ah, that was what one of my lost posts sa4.

5:21 am

puglet

the most real relationship with him is the one behind your own eyes

5:21 am

sprite

really? We DO share a brainwave, rose :)

5:22 am

sprite

that is what I like in the Jewish faith. That nobody can tell you how your relationship with God is... but that you have your own unique one.

5:22 am

grannyrose

on our way home today, i saw a sticker on another car's back window. it sa4...' coexist '...and the letters were all symbols of the major religions.

5:22 am

sprite

oh that is awesome, rose!

5:23 am

mab

good one

5:23 am

o-o

Having heard a few fire and brimstone preachers, I am not sure God coming my way is a source of comfort.

5:23 am

sprite

googled it. That is a brilliant find.

5:24 am

grannyrose

i thought it was rather good. it echoed how i felt about religion. we all are walking towards God, we just choose different paths.

5:24 am

sprite

oh o-o, those Old-Testament preachers? Scary people. As soon as I get the feeling they forgot that God is love, I stop listening.

5:24 am

mab

i agree

5:25 am

sprite

amen to that, rose. I always say each religion is a beam of the same star.

5:25 am

puglet

I agree too and OO no other can comfort as He

5:25 am

grannyrose

sprite, you found it on google, now th4 is awesome.

5:26 am

mab

in judaism we often use 'ha shem'

5:26 am

sprite

lol rose, that was easy. Google 'coexist religions' and images, and you get a whole page full of examples.

5:26 am

sprite

what does ha shem mean, mab?

5:26 am

mab

it means 'the name' and skirts a little the pronoun issue

5:26 am

grannyrose

just saw them, sprite. wow!!!

5:26 am

sprite

oh, that is nice!

5:27 am

o-o

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

5:27 am

grannyrose

mab, is th4 the same as yahweh?

5:28 am

mab

not sure, rose. i don't think so. we don't actually have that term.

5:29 am

o-o

must be a catch ... or I speak a tongue of incomprension

5:29 am

mab

we do sometimes say yud hey vav hey which is the name of g-d,

5:29 am

sprite

yeah, it isn't that straightforward, alas, o-o. *hug*

5:30 am

mab

those are the hebrew letters and some say that's yaweh

5:30 am

sprite

YHWH, right? Or something like that? In transcription?

5:30 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sorry o-o. was cught up in a discussion on ha shem and yahweh. perhaps you can enlighten us?

5:30 am

mab

but not in judaism

5:30 am

mab

yes sprite. sorry, i explain badly

5:30 am

sprite

no, not at all, mab. It is fascinating to me.

5:32 am

mab

in judaism, the idea is that we do not know how to pronouce g-d''s name, so we use the letters

5:32 am

mab

it's that way in the torah

5:32 am

sprite

that makes sense to me. We need something to 'call' Him and talk about Him, since we are human. But it is good to have a 'name' that acknowledges we don't know the Name.

5:32 am

grannyrose

oh, so we put in vowels to make it pronounceable?

5:33 am

mab

when we see the letters, we usually read 'adonai'

5:34 am

mab

'master' in hebrew

5:34 am

o-o

there is no trinity? and god's name is not god?

5:36 am

sprite

definitely not God, I think. That is just a human label for convenience's sake. Trinity... I don't know. That is a whole other ballgame.

5:36 am

mab

g-d is one for jews. big theological concept beyond me to explain

5:36 am

o-o

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ... I sometimes call god The Word

5:37 am

sprite

not a bad label, o-o

5:37 am

mab

that's rather good oo

5:37 am

puglet

Kind of says how important words just are, dont it

5:38 am

sprite

yes, important, but... what is the word... not reaching far enough

5:38 am

mab

that's why we love the word games

5:39 am

grannyrose

o-o, perhaps to leave the Trinity out of the discussion. most religions agree there is one major God. and th4 is what links us all. by what name is not important, the concept is.

5:39 am

puglet

look how far we reach just right here with words

5:39 am

sprite

hehehe true :) Especially Babble. Where else can we look for common and uncommon words while discussing The Word?

5:40 am

o-o

That is why for me the only concepts that are important are two. Have faith. Understand, "Thy will be done." I am the way I am because God has chosen me to be.

5:41 am

grannyrose

absolutely, o-o

5:41 am

sprite

and however difficult your road is, o-o, your existance has meaning. To me, for one.

5:41 am

puglet

maybe so OO, but look at the help you give others right here

5:41 am

mab

two jews, three opinions, they say, but applies to everyone i reckon

5:41 am

sprite

lolol mab, how apt!

5:42 am

sprite

yes, goes for each religion

5:42 am

grannyrose

lol, mab...goes for every religion

5:42 am

sprite

pug, that is another of my favorite quotes: God has no hands but ours.

5:42 am

sprite

snap, rose my dear soul sister :)

5:42 am

grannyrose

omg, sprite....will you please stop reading my mind?

5:43 am

sprite

never, rose. I like your mind. I love your mind. And I love to read. Tsk.

5:43 am

grannyrose

lololol

5:43 am

ivesy3

my cousin always tells me ..god cant help you becuz you dont step aside.... let go let god.

5:43 am

sprite

oh I like that one, ivesy.

5:43 am

grannyrose

nice, ivesy

5:44 am

sprite

did you guys ever read that Memo from God?

5:44 am

puglet

no

5:44 am

grannyrose

looking for it now

5:45 am

mab

well, it is said that g-d did not part the red sea until the jews stepped into the water, a sign of faith

5:45 am

sprite

here is a link:
http://tinyurl.com/pxc3hnk

5:45 am

sprite

didn't know that, mab. I like that.

5:46 am

mab

of course moses had to browbeat them into doing it

5:47 am

grannyrose

sprite, so profound, and so true. all good to hang onto.

5:47 am

sprite

handpicked by God, so he could :)

5:47 am

sprite

I think so too, rose. Especially the part about letting go and not worrying, and the part about being grateful for what we have.

5:47 am

o-o

If let go means not trying to understand and not ask for help ... like show me the path I am to follow ... than does the bible have credence and truly ignorance is bliss

5:47 am

mab

moses, why did you lead us into the wilderness? there weren't enough graves in egypt? yada yada yada

5:49 am

sprite

I think asking for help and trying to understand are different from worrying. Worrying is quite literally hoding it in your hands all the time and plucking at it. Trying to understand is opening your mind to encompass more of understanding your situation.

5:49 am

sprite

lol mab, indeed. Nag, nag, nag.

5:50 am

grannyrose

sprite, hopefully you can find this...it is a prayer of joe seremane south africa. called you asked for my life....i try to read it every day, it makes me truly humble, and contrite, when i realise how many times a day i turn from what God wants me to do for Him.

5:50 am

ivesy3

that was a great memo... going to print it when i get to work tomorr..

5:52 am

o-o

Oh, how is one like me to understand what a gross of professionals could not? And, God could have saved me a lot of money if I am supposed to have the capacity to understand what makes absolutely no sense

5:53 am

sprite

found it. Love it. Yes.

5:53 am

o-o

But whining serves no purpose

5:53 am

sprite

*gives o-o a big hug* It is a tough journey.

5:54 am

sprite

rose, someone I know wrote such a beautiful song about God... will try and translate it for you and send it by email.

5:54 am

puglet

OO, maybe you are putting too much trust is the understanding of man--and as it says in the Bible we wont ever understand all there is to His ways

5:54 am

sprite

oh and to you too, pug

5:56 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} from me too, o-o

5:56 am

o-o

what I do understand is God's will shall be done .... what I think or do is meaningless.

5:56 am

mab

that's beautiful, rose. thanks.

5:57 am

mab

i think what people do is tremendously meaninful

5:58 am

sprite

and I want to see it once again... what you think and do and say and share has meaning, o-o. To me, for one.

5:58 am

grannyrose

mab, sprite, it is also heart-breaking, when you understand just how much you individually fail God each day. i try to change one thing in how i live each day. it might be the same thing for several days.

5:58 am

sprite

I agree, mab

5:58 am

mab

so true rose

5:59 am

puglet

I dont think God would see your thouoghts or what you do meaningless OO. Nor do I think people who cares here thinks that either. We all were made in his image and if we look at each person we meet along the way it just might be we see bit of him is each one

5:59 am

sprite

I don't want to see it that way, though, rose. It is not failing. When we try, it is good enough. We are not meant to be perfect.

6:00 am

sprite

I agree with you there too, pug. We all carry a glimp of God's Light in each of us.

6:00 am

grannyrose

it shouldn't be such a struggle, but it is. pugs, i love your attitude.

6:01 am

sprite

ok, rose, help me here. I get confused with the thou's and thy's. Honorary used, 3rd person, is Thy?

6:01 am

grannyrose

* snort * sprite, one of my favourite sayings is...i may be a christian. it does not mean i am perfect, just forgiven. ( read believer in God )

6:01 am

puglet

I dont think God meant our lives or our faith to be such a struggle through out life, I think we as human makes the journey that way and if we didnt have failures we wouldnt need Him

6:01 am

sprite

hehehe I like that, rose. I am about as imperfect as it gets.

6:02 am

grannyrose

sprite, thy is a belonging pronoun, like your

6:03 am

sprite

da4. Is there a Th-- something for... sorry, 2nd person, not 3rd. In stead of You?

6:03 am

grannyrose

thou is a noun like i

6:03 am

o-o

In Summa Theologica. Aquinas argues man is capable of knowing God.

6:03 am

grannyrose

thee??

6:04 am

sprite

ah, thanks rose, then I need the Thou for the translation.

6:04 am

sprite

Thee? See, there we go again. Those Thees and Thous and Thys are confusing!

6:04 am

puglet

I think we all know him in a small dose but none knows the whole of him

6:04 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

6:05 am

sprite

googled it, found a very handy table.

6:05 am

sprite

exactly, pug, that is my feeling too

6:05 am

sprite

and, may I add, I have struggled immensely with God and faith for most of my life. It was not that I didn't believe. I did. But I also believed God loved everyone but me.

6:06 am

good morning my friends

6:06 am

I think of Him as the purest whitest light ever--more so then the sun,yet it dont burn the eyes yet it could blind

thou is nominative, thee is objective, thy and thine are possessive

6:06 am

the omnis are interesting ... as is the proposition all that is bad in my life is my fault.

6:07 am

mab

i so much like especially the last paragraph of the seremane prayer

6:07 am

sprite

pug, in the books I have written I only ever mention the word Light for the divine power. :)

6:07 am

mab

that's where the hope is

6:08 am

sprite

argh o-o.please don't believe that. No way it is your fault. If that were true, a little child being beaten and abused would be to blame for that as well. I am pretty sure it doesn't work that way.

6:08 am

sprite

mab: true. And hope is very important to me.

no matter if any of you believe this but once in a very very dark time in my life He came to me in the light of day while on my knees scrubbing the floors in such a light

Howdy Bacon Lover! lol

6:12 am

o-o

Yes, pug. How wonderful. If God came to see me, he likely would send an angel first to gag me.

6:12 am

sprite

closest I have ever been to God is after I miscarriaged. I was hurting so much, but all the while it was like there was this warm cape around my shoulders, giving me comfort.

6:13 am

puglet

oh OO, youre funny---your words helps so many

6:13 am

sprite

if He did, o-o, there would be no gagging! Comforting, more like. Respecting too. You are worth much more than you think.

6:13 am

mab, are you a messianic jew?

6:14 am

we HAVE a body,but we ARE a soul and have been given a finite time to walk this planet.all we need to do in this life is live as best we can with ourselves and our god,because in the end those are the only two we have to answer to. So smile warmly,laugh often,celebrate the small victories as they come,do a kindness as it is contaigous and pray we leave the world in just a bit better condition that when we first set foot upon it

6:31 am

mab

sweet dreams, rose. thanks again for sharing the prayer.

6:32 am

puglet

Is that really Gods fault OO

6:32 am

MLFAN17

i got the th6 which is a belief in God

6:32 am

sprite

night rose, sleep well and dream even better. *hugs*

6:33 am

sprite

6:34 am

MLFAN17

6:34 am

MLFAN17

:)

6:34 am

grannyrose

* poof * now add the tr3 which means three, mlfan

6:34 am

o-o

as an omnipotent, God could have conjured a different result.

6:34 am

MLFAN17

can anyone give me stats for any 8 please?

6:34 am

6:35 am

6:35 am

puglet

prehaps that would not have been the best for you---and you may not know that for along time to come OO

6:35 am

sprite

rose and pug, sent you the email with a translation. Forgive my english errors.

6:35 am

MLFAN17

i am out of here poof

6:36 am

puglet

He does tell us all things works out for the good, I think

6:36 am

puglet

bye Fan, hand

6:36 am

o-o

Again, why ask if I will receive only what already has been ordained?

6:37 am

puglet

thanks Sprite

6:37 am

crosshair

i can think back in my life and count so many disasters that altered the path of my life so that i am where i am today. i do not think of them as spears thrown at me by and angry god,but more like rocks in a stream that alter my course to a unknown future. would i have met my wife if i had not moved up here from toronto? most certainly not. Would i have gotten the jobs i did if i never had been run over by that car in 79? probably not. Would i have the same outlook on likfe if i had never gotten my 3 doses of the big c? definatly not.

6:38 am

mab

again, does g-d intervene? it's a question.

6:38 am

sprite

yep, there's one of my knots as well, o-o. I think, maybe, that asking puts us in the right mood and mode to receive. That the asking is for our benefit, not for His.

6:39 am

puglet

I cant answer for Him,OO, but talking to him gives one hope and you are here for a reason or you wouldnt be

6:39 am

mab

well put sprite

6:39 am

o-o

If God does not intervene that asking is meaningless.

6:39 am

sprite

definitely a question, mab.

6:39 am

mab

and well put crossy too

6:40 am

puglet

OO, He does things on his terms not ours

6:41 am

o-o

how else is the bible to be understood accept by an understanding we are capable of .... if we are incapable of understanding the bible why believe in it?

6:41 am

mab

mmmm, disagree oo, but it's a discussion worthy point

6:42 am

sprite

one of the things that make it hard to discuss, I think, is that the whole concept of God isn't just a mental thing. It is also emotion, and energy, and not just logic.

6:42 am

puglet

and He is not the one that shovels out the bad but he will make the bad into good in his time

6:42 am

o-o

sure, which is exactly why what I what is a futile exercise

6:42 am

mab

possibly g-d gave us the raw materials and free will and let's us go to...

6:42 am

crosshair

i just wish the church of king james time had never edited the hell out of it.the British museum is trying to restore a 4th century copy and i am most interested in the final outcome

6:43 am

o-o

I do not believe there is free will if only God

6:43 am

o-o

God's will counts

6:43 am

sprite

you may be right, o-o. I just don't know.

6:43 am

puglet

I feel the same Crossy--much have been taken from the Book through time

6:44 am

sprite

same here, crossy. I have always felt it kind of ridiculous to take literally a bible which has been translated first and then edited.

6:44 am

o-o

we make choices and if they are not God's we are sinners

6:44 am

sprite

God loves sinners. Or he wouldn't have created so many of us.

6:45 am

puglet

OO, we were all born so but we do matter

6:45 am

o-o

God could of purged evil and sin

6:46 am

o-o

sin has a component of intent .... how could we be guilty of a sin that adam and eve committed?

6:47 am

sprite

I agree. We are responsible for our own adult choices. Not for those of others.

6:47 am

crosshair

i do not spend my life trembling at every mis-deed or bad thought o-o ,i just live my life as best i can,pay things forward when i can and every day try to be a better person than yesterday. If there is no hope at all,on the 7th day he could of flung the entire works down the drain and worked on the dolphins or bees instead.i am sure they would run the planet better than us

6:47 am

puglet

You just have to have faith OO-either you do or you dont. Like the wind in a way, you feel it but cant see it and it can be evil in itself or mild and caressing

6:48 am

mab

i've heard jazz musicians discuss how they're going to play a tune; inevitably one will say 'just play.' in life, maybe just live.

6:48 am

crosshair

indeed,mab,the best way to do it,is just to do it

6:48 am

o-o

Ultimately, I am a believer .... I hang onto a faith in a god who says he/she has a good plan for me.

6:49 am

sprite

amen, o-o. I am very glad you are alive. And a babbler.

6:49 am

rubyfoo

hello again, everybody

6:49 am

puglet

Are you a scholar and teacher, mab? how do you use your Hebrew?

6:50 am

crosshair

off topic for a sec,but is anyone here entered in the november book in a month writing contest?

6:50 am

crosshair

((ruby))

6:51 am

A*n*i*t*a

6:51 am

sprite

not me, never heard of it, crossy. Should I be?

6:51 am

mab

i tried that once.

6:51 am

sprite

wtg Anita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:51 am

puglet

6:51 am

puglet

w2g Anita

6:51 am

A*n*i*t*a

6:51 am

mab

it's a fun thing.

6:52 am

mab

great exercise

6:52 am

A*n*i*t*a

6:52 am

sprite

sounds like fun.

6:52 am

puglet

bye Anita enjoy

6:52 am

mab

very bad novels

6:52 am

sprite

enjoy, Anita, and have a grand day

6:52 am

crosshair

well,it is almost over now,sprite but you can google it. you have to write a 50,000 word book in exactly one month. that is about 2000 words a day leaving one day for editing and the winner get published

6:53 am

sprite

yeah, I googled it, crossy. Looks like fun. Maybe next year. As mab says, nice exercise

6:53 am

mab

nanowrimo.org

6:53 am

puglet

oh Sprite, you would like that! Did you do it Crossy

6:53 am

crosshair

http://nanowrimo.org/

6:53 am

crosshair

snap

6:54 am

sprite

oh but it is national. Only for americans then.

6:54 am

o-o

I could use my Amnesia Chronicles

6:54 am

crosshair

if only you could remember where you put them:)

6:54 am

rubyfoo

hahah

6:54 am

mab

he he

6:55 am

sprite

if I only could remember to write... errr... what was it again?

6:55 am

o-o

of course, they are more appropriately short stories

6:56 am

crosshair

2000 words of clean copy a day is a tough grind

6:57 am

rubyfoo

molly was going to help me write my memoirs, but she's disappeared. I miss her

6:57 am

puglet

what did you write Crossy

6:57 am

crosshair

best to have a support person to edit as you go and help with retyping

6:57 am

sprite

yep, that would ask a lot of dedication, crossy. Especially if the end result should be good. Who the heck READS all those 301,000+ novels??

6:58 am

mab

the idea, though, is you don't have time to revise. you just churn it out.

6:58 am

sprite

molly will be back, probably, ruby. She put her foot in her mouth a bit and has withdrawn, but that has happened before and she always comes back.

6:58 am

crosshair

no, puglet, i did not enter this year

6:59 am

MimiCat

Crossy, so glad you're here right now. Have you tried Pandora on your Roku? It's music streaming and you create your own "stations" with the types of music you want played on them....it is fabulous!

6:59 am

rubyfoo

I hope so, sprite, as she was always ironic/funny/critical and, generally, interesting

7:00 am

mab

and i think nonwrimo is not a contest actually. just a challenge.

7:00 am

sprite

*hugs ruby*

7:00 am

puglet

Is she related to you Ruby--lol

7:00 am

crosshair

i think the best way is to start with bullet note and ideas,because you have 11 months to prepare. remember there is no one watching you 24/7. you can have all the rough copy you wish at the ready by oct 31st

7:01 am

sprite

hm, that would be cheating, crossy

7:01 am

rubyfoo

are you saying I'm critical? Ironic? funny? moi???? lol

7:01 am

crosshair

((mimi)) i ended up not getting a roku,but a smart tv.it has all the goodies inside already to stream whatever i want off the net

7:02 am

puglet

I think you are funny and interesting, and Iam not sure just what ironic means so wont comment on that

7:02 am

MimiCat

See if Pandora is available...I'll bet it is.

7:02 am

sprite

42 left. Am very much enjoying this gr4 on this Sunday, since I have all the time in the world today.

7:02 am

crosshair

i think it looks like great fun and i plan on entering next year

7:03 am

sprite

irony is kind of saying the opposite of what you mean, to emphasise the actual meaning. It is a bit tongue-in-cheek.

7:03 am

rubyfoo

I'm not ironic pugs, more like I view the world straight on

7:03 am

puglet

that chat has been over the mountain too today

7:03 am

sprite

indeed

7:04 am

crosshair

and you have not lived till you are sitting comfortably in your la-z-boy chair and playing babble on a 51 inch hdtv;)

7:04 am

puglet

I like you Ruby and thats straight on!:)

7:04 am

sprite

whahaha that will never happen to me, crossy. Happily playing from behind my puter.

7:05 am

rubyfoo

it's mutual, red-haired pugs!!!!

7:05 am

crosshair

the money i am saving (90 a month) by having no cable tv is paying for both the smart tv and for netflix in record time, sprite

7:05 am

puglet

couldnt you go any bigger Crossy--lol

7:06 am

crosshair

yes,i saw a 70 incher there last time i was in

7:06 am

crosshair

:)

7:06 am

rubyfoo

the problem here is that every time we try to upgrade anything, we need a technician to come and explain it and then it'snever without glitches

7:06 am

sprite

aw crossy, I am not worth such a thing. Almost never watch tv.

7:06 am

o-o

Is â€œironicâ€ the most abused word in English?
http://blog.dictionary.com/ironic/

7:06 am

crosshair

but i wanted lcd hdtv and not projection

7:06 am

rubyfoo

o-o please!!!!

7:06 am

crosshair

it is ironic,o-o

7:06 am

crosshair

lol

7:07 am

rubyfoo

we watch TV in bed because it's the only place in the house warm enough at night

7:07 am

puglet

you must have a huge room Crossy

7:07 am

puglet

where you can cuddle Ruby?

7:08 am

sprite

hah *smug* I didn't do badly with my definition of irony then, o-o :)

7:08 am

rubyfoo

our bedroom is just big enough for the king-size bed and the TV at its foot; ythe rst of the BR is a sitting area (for putting on shoes, etc

7:08 am

crosshair

that is exactly why we did it the way we did,sprite.we did not watch all the crap on commercial television,but still wanted to pick and watch the odd movie or show,but on our terms,not theirs

7:08 am

rubyfoo

NOT! hahah

7:09 am

puglet

lol, now now Ruby--if not with hubby then furry kids?

7:09 am

o-o

sardonic too

7:09 am

sprite

hm, forgot that one. Must look it up.

7:09 am

rubyfoo

can you imagine my 2 big stinky, dirty kids in the bed? OMG

7:09 am

crosshair

well,puglet, 51 across is roughly the size of a standard china hutch, so i removed the dining room table and chairs and turned that entire area into an entertainment room

7:10 am

MimiCat

Two shows on Netflix for you, crossy....Leverage and Kidnapped. Really good.

7:10 am

rubyfoo

sometimes they both get on my lap 130 lbs of fur

7:10 am

crosshair

i want to see orange is the new black as well

7:10 am

sprite

ah. Sardonic is more derisive than ironic.

7:10 am

crosshair

dirty puppies

7:10 am

rubyfoo

crossy, have you seen Luther?

7:10 am

sprite

argh ruby, no. There wouldn't be room for mr ruby for sure.

7:11 am

crosshair

no,i have not,ruby

7:11 am

puglet

well glad I didnt use it then ----

7:11 am

rubyfoo

stinky big dogs, especially with this dam p weather

7:11 am

MimiCat

I tried watching "Orange" but just didn't like it....others seem to, though. Also, they have "The Killing" and are extending it themselves so it ends well...also quite good.

7:11 am

rubyfoo

it is worth it and there are 3 seasons, available on Netflix (which I don't get), I imagine

7:11 am

rubyfoo

Also, the big C. It was great to be able to laugh at "our" isease

7:11 am

crosshair

they are upgrading our netflix as well.think the rollout started last wed,mimi

7:12 am

MimiCat

Ruby, I agree...Luther is very good.

7:12 am

crosshair

so many good things to watch,so little time

7:12 am

o-o

would you ever use this one, sprite? gormless

7:12 am

sprite

so many good books to read, so little time left for tv, lol

7:12 am

crosshair

got that right,sprite!!

7:13 am

sprite

gormless? Lol, sounds great. Must look up meaning, hold on.

7:13 am

rubyfoo

Idris Elba is amazing!

7:13 am

crosshair

between english classes,life and the odd nexflix show,i am lucky if i get to read a book a week!

7:13 am

puglet

with babbling and the chatting and reading very little time for tv for me

7:13 am

MimiCat

I couldn't watch them if that's all I did, but I "watch" while on the computer and doing other things.

7:14 am

crosshair

my poor little e-reader is stuffed to the brim with books

7:14 am

sprite

ooo I like it, o-o. Not sure if I would use it, but it is a fun word. I know a few people like that.

7:14 am

rubyfoo

I read in the afternoons in front of the fire, but from 8:45\PM onwards, it's TV time

7:14 am

puglet

what do you like to read Ruby

7:15 am

o-o

I have used sciolist and ultracrepidarian

7:15 am

sprite

lol! That is awesome. Great words if one is able to use them.

7:16 am

rubyfoo

I like short fiction, much of it by Canadian or Irish women plus the New Yorker and the Int'l NY Times -- that takes up my 2 hrs of reading time

7:16 am

puglet

OO, are all these big words in your head or are you using something to retreive them

7:16 am

crosshair

right now i am reading Boys Life by Robert R. McCammon a good book and i highly recommend it

7:17 am

sprite

hm, I am definitely an ultracrepidarian. I hope not a sciolist though.

7:17 am

sprite

what kind of book is it, crossy?

7:18 am

o-o

I often absquatulate

7:18 am

MimiCat

#20 in the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series is out in two days...can't wait...have read of them. It's the most fun you'll ever have reading..great light funny books.

7:18 am

rubyfoo

7:18 am

MimiCat

Bye, ruby...stay warm.

7:19 am

sprite

7:20 am

puglet

bye Cat

7:21 am

crosshair

it may sound like a "young" read but it has surprising depth and is really for the 18+ crowd

7:21 am

MimiCat

Pug, you're the first to call me Cat....I like it! Poof!

7:21 am

puglet

Iam wondering if you guys IQ even register on the scales-lol

7:21 am

sprite

7:22 am

crosshair

7:22 am

crosshair

7:22 am

sprite

7:22 am

puglet

I really doubt that on any of you guys

7:23 am

sprite

7:23 am

sprite

and always remember it may take a genius to be really stupendously stupid ;)

7:24 am

crosshair

though i am busting the grading curve in my current english class.the kids hate me,but when they need peer review for the mark,i always end up with 5 or ten papers in front of me lol

7:24 am

puglet

I feel like Iam in a collage class here but I do learn! lol

7:24 am

sprite

hehehe crossy. They certainly don't hate you. But envy you, yeah, probably. I think you are a bit of a role model for them... very nice.

7:25 am

sprite

pug, you are a very very smart lady. Don't sell yourself short.

7:25 am

crosshair

7:29 am

crosshair

and in the halls,ever 3 girl is pregnant it seems

7:29 am

crosshair

lol

7:32 am

sprite

very good, crossy. As long as you don't faint and don't panic, you are already helping a lot

7:33 am

puglet

might not hurt to put a change of clothes in the jeep either

7:33 am

crosshair

how to turn a kid with you fingers,how to ease things along without tearing,how to unwrap an umbillical cord from around the neck and to leave the cord intact for the paras etc,etc

7:33 am

sprite

lol am so glad I took a break to hang up the laundry. Imagine it still sitting in the machine just now, ugh.

7:33 am

o-o

but don't absquatulate with any babies you deliver

7:33 am

crosshair

lol,sprite,i was in the delivery room to catch my own kid and the afterbirth,i do not think i will have an issue

7:33 am

sprite

better not, lol, or the police will make sure you don't absquatulate anywhere anytime soon

7:34 am

puglet

7:36 am

puglet

7:45 am

puglet

w2g Sprite, so I guess you are leaving

8:43 am

crosshair

yup.imagine those arrows painted bright yellow each with its little light tower and generator

8:43 am

RoundBarn

there are so many words from well known books that aren't in the gr** (that word is so often in the gr**)--like tharn, and all the Tolkien words, and even the Alice words--

8:44 am

welki

and the relief felt by someone who thought they were lost and then saw the arrow :)

8:44 am

crosshair

yes,many of Tolkeins words are not valid ones

8:44 am

Mubner

Crossy, where on earth do you discover this stuff - I am well informed thanks to you.

8:45 am

crosshair

but some catch on. Did you know that the name "Wendy was not in use before it was penned in peter Pan?

8:45 am

RoundBarn

to say nothing of the terrific Pratchett words--do any of you read Pratchett? Night Guard is worthy of a Pulitzer.

8:45 am

crosshair

lol,munber

8:46 am

crosshair

i will have to look that novel up,roundbarn

8:46 am

welki

hi mubner and roundbarn

8:46 am

RoundBarn

yes,
I knew that abt Wendy. We get trendy names from celebrities--most don't stick around but you can date a person who bears one

8:48 am

Mubner

Hi everyone, Happy Sunday

8:49 am

RoundBarn

hello, everyone. Crossy, DON't read that book until you've read several that have Sam Vimes in them--that is the pinnacle. Try Jingo first. If you haven't yet become a Pratchett fan. He's read by millions in England--why not over here?

8:49 am

crosshair

have never read him

8:50 am

crosshair

but sadly there are always too many books and too little time

8:52 am

crosshair

munber,about 3 years ago,i started doing crossy,s tidbit of the day just to make my own contribution to babble and it caught on to such a degree that i now get e-mail if i miss to many days and asking for more tidbits.i look forward to putting them up every day and to make sure it is something really different

8:53 am

RoundBarn

Don't read his first two--je's just warming up. They are fun later. I just listened to Going Postal on tape--great reader, and a satire with depth. You come to love the disk world. Our distorted world in a clear mirror. And very funny. You'll love his Leonardo da Vinci character--and the dictator Vetinari (of the Assassin's Guild) who is Vimes' equal in brains.

8:53 am

Mubner

Well, Crossy, you set a fine example of service to others, I enjoy them very much.

8:55 am

RoundBarn

I am always sorry when I miss a tidbit, Crossy. I can't stay on the grid very long at a time or I won't get my work done--and at my age, de+++ is always a threat--I guess it is at any age--and I don't want to leave my great work ubfinished! So takes discipline.

8:56 am

RoundBarn

Question--what were they digging up all the time in God's Little Acre?

8:58 am

RoundBarn

or trying to find--i suppose google would have a quick answer. My dad referred to the corn patch that was his responsibility as Ron's Little Acre

8:59 am

crosshair

indeed, roundbarn,but do not be afraid of it or of spelling it,after all,it is just another part of life and merly another step in our travels

8:59 am

crosshair

damn computer is chugging.making it very hard to type

9:01 am

crosshair

back in 5 .must fold a bit of laundry

9:01 am

RoundBarn

words--Mark Twain, too, and other colloquialisms or old fashioned (we get enough Scottixh and Welsh)--why not dast? "I adsn't" or however spelled.

9:03 am

RoundBarn

crossy I'm not afraid to spell it or say it, I've certainly been too too close to it--live with my daughter's--I just want to be here long enough that I don't leave an incredible mess behind me, and my GREAT WORK! Also, I like being here.

Wasn't she named Jilly? Did the dead fisherman--did Marcy swimming with the waterbugs--gotta go look, there was another. Can only get my old books off the used book places on the net, now. Crosy, most are cheap except one which goes for $150. Rast, I just heard from the children of the chief, he told them he was in that book, so he read it. And thank you, Crossy.

11:15 am

zoozzoom

Ads as in adverts or the letter AD..in either case by the way i am not seeing.

11:16 am

zoozzoom

It all looks normal to me.

11:16 am

CadFan

K - I think it's something off with my son's computer - off to figure out how to banish them

11:16 am

crosshair

if you are plagued with them,and use goggle chrome as your browser,i suggest you use the free ad block plug in

11:16 am

zoozzoom

You need to have the block Ads on.

11:17 am

zoozzoom

Crossy is the best one to guide you on that :-)

11:17 am

crosshair

what i said:))

11:17 am

crosshair

sometimes i get it right:)

11:17 am

crosshair

just enough to lead me on however

11:21 am

crosshair

my son taught me how to find the start/run/cmd/ipconfig info for subnet mask and gateway info for setting up those hard wired modems they have now(thank go i do not use one)

11:22 am

crosshair

wi-fi all the way baby!

11:22 am

zoozzoom

Wi-fi is so much easier.

11:23 am

crosshair

true words!

11:23 am

crosshair

i do not care if the beams from it going through my head take a year off my life,cause fighting with the other way would take three off of it!

11:24 am

zoozzoom

lol

11:24 am

crosshair

i am thinking on the bright side of it and hoping it may be curing some yeat undetected,early cancer hidden somewhere.that way i get a 2 for 1

11:25 am

zoozzoom

Well you never know, Crossy, lol

11:26 am

crosshair

lol,may be poaching my kidneys for all i know.one thing i do see however is the schools remain hard wired

11:27 am

zoozzoom

Probably costs to much out of the school budget to change maybe.

11:27 am

crosshair

but i am told the last of the old tower hard wired systems will be gone after this year.after that it will all be wi-fi and laptops

11:28 am

crosshair

yes,she says they keep the schools on a short leash budget wise

11:29 am

crosshair

much of the stuff is refurbished and donated by big offices who are upgrading their system

11:30 am

how bacwards compatable will the new x box be?

11:33 am

crosshair

backwards

11:34 am

zoozzoom

I really want the xbox one to be able to use tabs on internet explorer..as having only one widow open is such a bind.

11:34 am

crosshair

i have never surfed the net on a console

11:35 am

zoozzoom

Not much, Crossy...for the very lastest 360 games you have...you will have to use the cloud to be able to daownload a newer version of the game to work on the newer console..same with the PS4.

11:35 am

You have to print out, fill in the blanks and scan back in......

going to google for a pdf converter.

12:39 pm

I've used interactive forms before, I was hoping this was one. guess not.

1:54 pm

Aloyisius

1:57 pm

Scrabbler

acini di pepe is another wee pasta

1:57 pm

crosshair

i hate cooking that bitty pasta,it is always either too little or too much as it is very deceptive when dry as to what is needed

1:58 pm

Scrabbler

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_p\nasta

1:58 pm

Aloyisius

I have problems too with directions for adding pasta.. dry weight or volume?

2:01 pm

Scrabbler

Funny story which happened an hour ago. I was putting my toddler greatnephew into my sister's Jeep Wrangler. I was buckling him into his car seat when I saw a cat tail waving in the front seat! A Siamese cat (that I had never seen before) had jumped into the front seat!

2:02 pm

Aloyisius

wanted to go for a ride!

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

I think that butternut or pumpkin soups are my faves, with or without apples.

2:03 pm

Aloyisius

since we had the best apple crop ever from our tree, we have been putting apples into everything

2:03 pm

rururocks

okay.. back to housework.. thanks for the break

2:03 pm

Aloyisius

have SO much fun, ruru!

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

The cat was very friendly and let me pick it up. It had a collar with 2 tags--one was "Bark Avenue" and the other, which I hoped was a name and phone number, showed "MEOW."

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

Bye, ruru.

2:04 pm

Anniebrook

bye ruru :(

2:04 pm

Aloyisius

hmm, not too helpful.. why would any owner put things like that on a tag?

2:05 pm

Scrabbler

Silly tags.

2:06 pm

Aloyisius

oxymoronic.. a tag is supposed to be informative

2:06 pm

sammysmom

so, scrabbler..... do you have a new pet???? heh heh..

2:06 pm

Aloyisius

so the cat's name is Meow and it lives on Bark Avenue, great

2:07 pm

sammysmom

remember dear. if you feed it..... it OWNS you

2:07 pm

Scrabbler

I keep a bag of cat food near my front door, for neighborhood cats that visit, so I fed this one on the front deck. She gobbled it up.

2:07 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, aloy, I was laughing when I saw those tags!

2:07 pm

crosshair

72 Temple Owl

2:19 pm

sammysmom

aloy, did you know that we had an earthquake here several days ago?... i noticed that chuckie and sammy were acting stranger than usual and asked my daughter , she said me kitty was also.. so she googled it and we did have a small quake , so let that be as lesson to us insensitive humans, listen to what your bosses are trying to tell you

our 2 black bombay cats go one further,they knock on doors.first they find if there is any leeway in the jamb,if the door is a tight fit or if there is some movement in the latch. if there is any movement at all they will start tapping the door with their paws in a sweeping motion,pounding the door off the jamb

2:20 pm

Scrabbler

ty, magzel.

2:20 pm

sammysmom

they feel vibrations and hear things that we cannot , i also think they are more aware of atmospheric pressure than humans and god klnows they are smarter than most

2:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

their odd behaviors is why i love cats

2:21 pm

Scrabbler

My bunnies can push doors open, if the door is not fully closed. They push with their noses.

2:22 pm

Scrabbler

I have read about nursing homes which have resident cats. The cats will stay with people prior to death, so the staff knows when a person is going to die.

Scrabbler

That happens to me often, Aloy.

2:31 pm

Aloyisius

such a pain in the butinsky..

2:31 pm

Scrabbler

Owl, the cat had a collar so someone up here must own it. I live in a development up on a big hill, in the woods, with about 140 homes.

2:32 pm

Scrabbler

2:38 pm

magzel

thanks scrabs

2:43 pm

Scrabbler

I need to take a shower anyway. I took care of the baby starting at 7 so that my sister could sleep more. He slept in bed with her and she slept very poorly overnight. He and I played inside for a while then went for a walk in the stroller, then played outside.

2:45 pm

Aloyisius

you are a super duper Aunt, Scrabbs.. I'm sure your sister really appreciated the break!

2:49 pm

Scrabbler

She needed it. He co-sleeps with his parents. My sister struggled to sleep with a toddler slopping all over her.

2:50 pm

Aloyisius

co-sleeping is an issue; our daughter has compromised with their infant. He sleeps in a co-sleeper, but when he needs feeding, she takes him into the nursery so her husband can sleep. He gets up at the crack of dawn every morning

2:52 pm

Bugsaw

when you say co-sleep Aloy, do you mean in the same bed or the same room?

2:53 pm

Aloyisius

in a co-sleeper attached to the parent's bed

2:53 pm

Aloyisius

Scrabbs, is your sister still breast feeding the toddler?

2:54 pm

Scrabbler

Jaxson is my greatnephew--my 25 yr old nephew's son. Jaxson's mother did breast feed him, but not any more

2:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, i am done. i

2:56 pm

Scrabbler

Geez, Owl, I am struggling to get to halfway.

2:56 pm

Bugsaw

well done TO

2:56 pm

Aloyisius

oh, ok.. sounds like Jaxson needs his own room, and so does Mom..

2:56 pm

Aloyisius

yay, TO.. wtg, congrats!

2:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, i was on autopilot earlier, stuck in that horrible place between exhaustion and sleep. it did help me to nap

3:00 pm

Aloyisius

am stuck on te6.24, maybe if I post I will see it

3:00 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Jaxson needs to be trained to fall asleep on his own in his crib in his room. That would be better for everyone.

3:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye all.

3:01 pm

Aloyisius

hah, it worked.. the muscle paralysis if you don't get a certain shot

3:01 pm

Scrabbler

But Jaxie is so damn cute. We just love him so much. I will post a pic on FB.

hi babblers (crossy - went out and picked up a roku today - works great, lots of free programming in addition to the paid stuff)

4:49 pm

crosshair

they are well worth the price.like i said,once we got hooked up,we dumped cable tv

4:49 pm

crosshair

we pay for netflix ($7.99) and save $90 a month by not having cable tv

4:50 pm

welki

what do you do for live programming like news?

4:50 pm

crosshair

at this rate,by new years day,the money we have saved by cancelling the cable tv will have paid for the 51 inch hdtv in its entirety

4:50 pm

crosshair

for news,i like cnn.com

4:51 pm

crosshair

i do not need the talking heads.i just read that i wish of the news and they have a good intuitive layout

4:51 pm

howdy peri

4:52 pm

4:53 pm

welki

hi, peri

4:53 pm

sadly,i weighed it all,and none of what i liked on cable was worth 90 a month plus tax

4:53 pm

i have been waiting for fed approved a la carte tv for 2 years since i have first heard of it..got tired of waiting

4:54 pm

Yes welki...well known to us old nurses!

8:42 pm

welki

i like that idea, o-o. i can tell you that, when i was a girl, i spoke to holocaust survivors on a regular basis, my relatives. i was not connected emotionally to the family members lost, so they were mostly lessons in how to listen to my elders. the common theme, in those lessons, was always, 'choose life."

8:49 pm

welki

there is a trilogy of frankl's books - i think i'd like to read all of them

8:50 pm

o-o

Life is thrust upon us all without our consent ... we have no choice in our genetics or our upbringing ... to find meaning we must challenge everything we have been told and vitiate any genetic deficiencies we encounter ... if the holies are correct, we must find the essential purpose an other-worldly has assigned us .... or create out own purpose which then may lead to meaningfulness ... I have discovered my purpose and meaning involves raising my life as an alarm of how not to go about that task.

8:51 pm

welki

and yet, in your words, i find that in one regard, you're the lucky one - you have a belief in 'the holies.' religosity aside, sounds like you have some hold on faith
