Thank you, Pug. I had a good cry this afternoon, and that really helped.

poor melon. my ex did that with sons too. it hurts like hell, and if you say anything, you are the world's worst. have a {{hug}} on me
1:02 am
flosey
ah mel, sorry to see you go through that kind of bad feeling
1:03 am
grannyrose
mel, nothing you have done is wrong, i am sure of it. you may have made a mistake or two, don't we all. that's how we learn. but you did nothing wrong.
1:03 am
melonheadjujube
Thanks for the hugs and care, dear babble friends. I'm patient. It will all work out. I hope by my upcoming birthday; it's one that ends in zero (just one zero!)
1:06 am
grannyrose
oohhh, that's a good one, melon. it is such an empowering age, hun
1:06 am
melonheadjujube
Thanks grannyrose. I know that. Basically, my daughter is undoing most of the interventions/organizations of the past two years. I think it's just easier for her to think a change of situation will make my son better rather than face the fact he has a serious illness that progresses almost despite any treatment.
1:06 am
joso
a good chance time will help mel, Twain had a great line about how dumb his father was when he was 17, and how stunned at how much his father had learned 10 years later
1:06 am
melonheadjujube
Diagnostically he falls in the cracks.
1:07 am

I got to talk to Ivesy yesterday and all went well for her at the doctors. No strokes but migrane headaches and shes now on new meds.
1:07 am
melonheadjujube
There's cognitive deficits, irritability, blunted affect, etc.
1:08 am
melonheadjujube
yep, joso. My daughter has retreated to being 15 again. She's in full rebellion mode. Best thing is to hang back and not be her audience/target.
1:08 am
grannyrose
who knows, melon? she may well think of something which will help him, and then again she may find out that mom was right all along. either way, thank her sweetly for helping her brother. it will totally confound her.
1:09 am

4:00 am
zoozzoom
Raising my cup of tea to toast, Pugs, in her fireworks moment!
4:00 am
sprite
mostly the wet, zooz. It has been raining cats and dogs here. But this morning seems to be less rainy and more windy.

My city has rounded up several million sandbags based on the potential for flooding.
4:16 am

4:16 am
puglet

4:16 am
rubyfoo
I walked Raffie for the first time today because Burt has been walking her but not disciplining her at all so she is a wild woman. It was a big job, but, by the end, she had calmed down a lot

puglet

4:21 am
puglet
I can see the creek from where I live but Iam up on a hill and Ive never seen it ever get up here but for the campgrounds thats another story

4:22 am
puglet

4:28 am

4:28 am
o-o
I get anxious if a toe gets wet.
4:28 am
zoozzoom

4:29 am
zoozzoom

4:53 am
ivesy3
sort of concentrating on the new meds rite now. when to take them . making sure to drink lots of water.. they can cause kidney stones. dont want them again.. they are horrible. . so quitting is on back burner. more concerned with getting rid of headaches. dont know if headaches are related to the smoking or not.. its a vicious circle

my sis in law is at cankeep.com....there is a gallery there with her stuff and links to her ebay and etsy sales...
4:33 pm
Nef
WOW! Now I'm wondering if she ships anything!
4:33 pm
MollyL
Well, no lack of creativity in that clan.
4:34 pm
penquis
she does some, depending on what you want....you would have to contact her via her Facebook page...
4:34 pm
penquis
my sis in law is known in the family as the person who can do or learn to do anything....
4:36 pm
MollyL
Nice bead work. That is really intricate design.
4:36 pm
Nef
you can be very proud of them, pen. Very beautiful cake work.
4:36 pm
lynxxx
very pretty as well - not heard of bead artists before
4:37 pm
JaxH
how many words are there today? I'm struggling to get past 18!
4:37 pm
lynxxx
only 65 JaxH
4:37 pm
MollyL
No wonder you have taken up knitting Pen. One could get an inferiority complex in that family. : )
4:38 pm
penquis
lol...my niece is the one who taught me....she has done those complicated norwegian sweaters....
4:38 pm
JaxH
Ican't believe theres another 30 somethng words left in here
4:39 pm
penquis
i think my sis in law's beads and small sculptures are amazing....the beads are quite small yet so detailed...
4:39 pm
lynxxx
please don't tell me she is self-taught too
4:40 pm
penquis
pretty much...she worked in a glass place but not in the actual glass work division....that sparked her interest....
4:41 pm
penquis
she reads a lot... ;o)
4:42 pm
lynxxx
some pretty put the bar up too high! it's a lot for us mere mortals to reach for
4:42 pm
penquis
the two of them are quite talented.... creative, artistic, and good with their hands....
4:42 pm
lynxxx
pretty? people!
4:42 pm
rururocks
I'm creative and good with my hands.. not sure about artistic :D
4:43 pm
penquis
my niece once had an order from LL Bean for their board meeting.....she made spring flower cookies but she threw in an extra one that looked just like the traditional LL Bean boot....
4:43 pm
penquis
lol ru....
4:43 pm
lynxxx
everyone loves a handyman. Whats with the skull Ru?
4:44 pm
penquis
she has had weird cake orders.....Han solo encased in ice...a slot machine....
4:44 pm
rururocks
ah.. just thought I'd join BR in gruesome icons, death, and misery
4:45 pm
lynxxx
nice boots - haven't heard of them before
4:45 pm
lynxxx
I think you might be a happier soul than BR somehow
4:46 pm
penquis
Beans is quite well known here in the states....
4:46 pm
rururocks
really?.. could be..although according to him .. I have a mental illness because I pun too much :D
4:46 pm
lynxxx
thanks - might take a closer look
4:47 pm
rururocks
I however don't post grim reaper and death quotes during the Christmas season though
4:48 pm
Nef
oh, ruru; it's okay. We still love you. I suspect that we all have our own individual demons....
4:48 pm
rururocks
lol.. exactly nef.. that's funny
4:50 pm
Nef
I guess I've chatted with BR for so many years here that I appreciate him too.
4:50 pm
lynxxx
this is an outlet for him so I don't mind myself. He is a caring person if offbeat most of the time.
4:50 pm
lynxxx
very caring actually when I think about it
4:51 pm
Nef
I think we all form mental images of each other here; some based on actual pictures, some on icons, and some just totally our imaginations. I won't tell you about how any of you look in my mind though! ;-)
4:52 pm
Nef
and I agree with lynxxx; too.
4:56 pm
Nef
I guess that I enjoy almost everyone that I've ever chatted with here. There are a few people who do bug me; and when they show up I slide the chog off the screen or go elsewhere for a while so that I don't let them get to me.
4:56 pm
lynxxx
but don't stop doing you darned awful puns Ru - life here wouldn't be the same without all the groaning
4:57 pm
lynxxx
you - your
4:59 pm

A friend I've known on a private nursing chat board for about 13-14 years says her Mother refers to her online friends as her "little internet friends" and my friend says her Mom must think we are imaginary friends just like when she was a kid.
5:00 pm
Nef

5:03 pm
penquis

5:04 pm
Nef
It is funny, pen. About 25 of us met up with each other back in 2003 in Las Vegas; there are about 50 or so members from around the world and some have met individually in smaller groups. We are hoping to get together again in Las Vegas this fall
5:04 pm

5:05 pm
MPittore

5:05 pm

5:05 pm
penquis
cool....i met up with people i worked with online at Cybersites (themed community sites) in Las Vegas in 2000....it was a lot of fun....
5:05 pm

I erase it daily. Never know when I'm gonna be murdered and the cops look up my history :P (Yes Yes I know it is never deleted but humor me)
5:07 pm
Nef
LOL, cos! :-D
5:08 pm
MPittore
cos..LOL
5:09 pm
Nef
pen, some of the members of our nurse group are closer than any of their real life friends.
5:10 pm
penquis
i believe that...sometimes it's easier to share your innermost thoughts/feelings when you are not seen by the person you are speaking to....
5:13 pm
Nef
One of the members is a guy in Iowa; when he came up to the Twin Cities back before the Las Vegas meet up, we met at a Perkins for lunch. DH was "concerned" that I was meeting a guy from the internet; so he came along. Afterwards he told me that he needs to remember that I've always had guy friends and he thinks I'm a pretty good judge of character
5:15 pm
penquis
we are expecting 10 to 18 inches tonight.....and tomorrow in the low 20s and windy.....YUCK!
5:19 pm

Man, it's true what they say about perspective. It's a weird and very skewed thing.
5:19 pm
MollyL
Hey there MPitt : )
5:19 pm
MPittore
Hey Molly...waves!
5:20 pm
rururocks
perspective of what molly?
5:21 pm
MPittore
Molly...cracked up at your icon
5:21 pm
MPittore
oops...PB
5:21 pm
rururocks
yeah.. I like it too .. very funny.. especially for east coasters
5:22 pm
penquis
yes, molly...your icon captured my thoughts particularly tonight!
5:22 pm
MPittore
Hey pen welcome to the PB
5:22 pm
MollyL
Perspective as in the way people see things. One person sees it one way, another a very different way.
5:23 pm
Nef
hi Molly and MPittore. (My son bought some groceries and asked me to check them out so I wandered off for a bit)
5:23 pm
penquis
ah...but i don't believe in that "rule".... ;o)
5:23 pm
MPittore
Hi nef...
5:23 pm
MPittore
why not pen there are goodies in here
5:24 pm
MollyL
Pen doesn't eat goodies : P
5:24 pm
rururocks
ah.. so very true here in babbleland
5:24 pm
penquis
oh!...goodies...i forgot....on my way!
5:24 pm
penquis
i can eat virtual goodies... ;o)
5:25 pm
rururocks
...well if THOSE are the rules.. I have virtual thoughts too :D
5:25 pm
MPittore
makes sure PB has plenty of virtual goodies baking more...
5:25 pm
Nef
1 of the things my son bought was some "party flavored" peeps. I just had to taste one, they taste just like all of them.
5:25 pm
MollyL
Let us not confuse virtual with virtuous
5:26 pm
MPittore
oops gained a virtual pound!
5:26 pm
rururocks
oh..yeah.. that's what I meant virtuous LD
5:26 pm
MollyL
This is why I do not send male children grocery shopping. If one of them spent my grocery money on Peeps they would get smacked upside the head.
5:27 pm
rururocks
don't eat those in Colorado nef.. party-flavored peeps will kick your ass
5:27 pm
MimiCat
Hello, everyone! And as the sun sinks slowly in the west...
5:27 pm

5:27 pm
MPittore

5:27 pm
MollyL
Dude...pass the Peeps
5:28 pm
Nef
Molly, it's his own money, so I can't complain.
5:28 pm
penquis
i LOVE peeps!....
5:28 pm
MPittore
Peeps all around the chat...
5:28 pm
MimiCat
My new vice is Pop Chips...yum. I like salty more than sweet.
5:28 pm
MollyL
Oh Nef, in that case, make sure you eat as much as you can of what he bought. Turnaround is fair play.
5:29 pm
MPittore
preparing munchies for later...
5:29 pm
penquis
at Thanksgiving one year someone used peeps to top the sweet potatoes... didn't have the usual marshmallows... i have also roasted peeps over a fire...
5:29 pm
MollyL
MPitt is such an accommodating hostess
5:29 pm
rururocks
I better go for a walk with Dylan before it rains.
5:31 pm
MPittore
Molly I think I have cabin fever from this dam* snow
5:31 pm
MimiCat
Rain? ((ruru)) I'm envious...
5:31 pm
MollyL
I've never understood Peeps. Marshmallow is almost all sugar. Why add more?
5:31 pm
MPittore
but they have sugar free peeps...that's what we get
5:31 pm
penquis
a chacun son gout....
5:32 pm

MPitt, hang on. Topper says 60 degrees on Thursday.
YOWZA!
5:32 pm

MPittore

5:32 pm
MimiCat
We really need the rain here in Phoenix...always.
5:33 pm

5:33 pm
MPittore

5:38 pm
penquis
"winter hurricane"....can't wait... :o(

MollyL
Who said hurricane parties were just for Summer time?
5:41 pm
penquis
i am just glad i don't need to go anywhere tonight or tomorrow...
5:42 pm
MollyL
Good Pen, leave that for the crazy ones.
5:43 pm

6:17 pm
HarryHood

6:18 pm
HarryHood

Nef
I agree, Harry. I'm half way and can't see anything else.
6:18 pm
rururocks

6:19 pm
Bugsaw
that is not fair to Nef ruru. what is up?
6:19 pm
Nef
I have NBT and NBS, Harry, would you like the stats or clues for those 8 blank tiles
6:20 pm
HarryHood
nah - too much work. I've got a pile of old mail to get through.
6:20 pm
HarryHood
but thanks
6:20 pm
Nef
ruru, *I* didn't make the call; she called me.
6:22 pm
Nef
hi Bugs. How are you today?
6:22 pm
JenMO16
hi nef,ruru, and bugsaw!
6:22 pm
MollyL
I think it's plenty fair for Ru to defend himself when someone makes a snide remark about him.
6:23 pm
Bugsaw
I am well thanks Nef. I discovered that I can now point my toe on the bad foot as much as the good foort! ONe step closer to walking better
6:24 pm
cosdem
lol just saw the comment.. thought of that too :P
6:26 pm
rururocks
yeah.. I was just teasing you Cos.. it isn't anyone else's business as far as I'm concerned
6:26 pm
Nef
I'm glad it's getting better, Bugs.
6:28 pm
Nef
It went over my head, cos until ruru commented. Then I was wondering what anyone said-- then went DUH!
6:29 pm
rururocks
I am glad SOME people around here have a sense of humor for the inane
6:30 pm
cosdem
U know what I wonder Ru?
6:30 pm
rururocks
what's that cos?
6:31 pm
cosdem
what in heavens name were the people at little debbie thinking wen they named their muffins "litte debbie's little muffins"?
6:32 pm
Nef
I'm just always a bit slow, ruru,
And cos, the Little Debbie people probably named them that long before the term changed meanings
6:33 pm
rururocks
that comment about humor wasn't in any way directed at you nef.
6:34 pm
rururocks
I am just sick of his hit and run comments and abusive behavior.. that's all.
6:34 pm
phandmd
I guessed I missed something.
6:34 pm
phandmd
on a lighter note, anyone that knows me, knows, I don't cook. Well, I nearly caused my husband to have a heart attack as I cooked dinner tonight!
6:35 pm
phandmd
I figured I would reward him for working on taxes and FASFA all day
6:35 pm
Nef
oh, I know, ruru. I'm just saying that *I* was really SLOW at understanding what you were commenting on
6:36 pm
MollyL
*Just fainted after hearing Phan cooked*
6:36 pm
cosdem
what did you cook?
6:37 pm
phandmd
I know, Molly it is shocking!
Well, I heated up a jar of spagetti sauce and boiled some water and cooked some spinich raviolis. Also, made some cheesy garlic bread.
6:38 pm
MollyL
Ah, it's the jar of spaghetti sauce thing Cos. : D
6:38 pm
phandmd
So, I didn't kill myself to make dinner!
6:38 pm
phandmd
I mean, I didn't want to cause any fatalities...
6:40 pm
Nef
I'm glad your hubby survived the shock, phand! ;-)
6:41 pm
rururocks
OPENING A JAR .. can be very hard work.. I'm impressed Phan :D
6:41 pm
phandmd
I almost sprained my wrist!
6:41 pm

6:42 pm

6:42 pm

6:42 pm

6:42 pm

Don't forget the slaving over the pot of boiled water part.
6:43 pm
phandmd
I did break a sweat!
6:43 pm
rururocks
and knowing when the water is ready too
6:43 pm
Nef
YAY, Jen! WTG!!!
6:43 pm
rururocks
ravioli .. does sound kinda good actually :D
6:44 pm
phandmd
that, Ruru, is the most tricky part. That and timing the bread. It was close, I could have burned it.
6:44 pm
JenMO16
I don't cook either, I have no stove or oven
6:44 pm
rururocks
LOL. phan
6:44 pm
Nef
I've never tried cheesy garlic bread, phand. That sounds *almost* gourmet to me! ;-)
6:44 pm
MollyL
I'll give her points for not going the Chef Boyardee route.
6:44 pm
phandmd
thank you, Molly!
6:45 pm
rururocks
if it were up to MRs Ru.. ovens would be storage for sweaters
6:45 pm
phandmd
so, Nef, the bread was a baguette, buttered, grated some fresh parm and add garlic powder
6:45 pm
cosdem
in my book thats cooking phan!
6:48 pm
Nef
ruru, we didn't have an oven for about 6 years in our old house. We had a cooktop; and the oven was in storage for years because DH and I couldn't agree on if the oven would fit where I wanted to put it.
6:48 pm
rururocks
I prefer having double ovens.. in my next house.. I'm putting them in and a 5 burner wolf range
6:49 pm
Nef
Finally we had a n argument about something, and I just went ahead and put a big old hole in the wall where I wanted to put the oven. :-)
6:49 pm
MollyL
I can't imagine not having an oven for 6 years.
6:49 pm
Nef
(DH *never* fights with me anymore)
6:49 pm
rururocks
lol nef
6:51 pm
Nef
In our first house, I tore down a whole wall when he didn't listen to me about something. I haven't had to do any drastic remodeling in this house yet in 21 years.

6:52 pm
Nef
ruru, I'm not Kathy Bates. It's just that he's learned not to do stupid things after 39 years of marriage.
6:53 pm
rururocks
ah.. that's where I messed up
6:53 pm
MollyL
Bets Mr. Nef sleeps with one eye open.
6:54 pm
Nef
I only did the remodeling when he did some REALLY stupid things that I had told him not to do
6:54 pm
rururocks
lol... good call molly
6:54 pm
Nef
Nope, Molly. I've got him convinced I'm a saint
6:55 pm
MollyL
So we really need to talk about the fact that Ru calls The Princess Bride a chick flick, but he's seen Fried Green Tomatoes. : P
6:56 pm
rururocks
Jessica Tandy would never be in a CHICK flick
6:56 pm
phandmd
agreed, Molly!

Next thing you know he will be talking about the classic Angela Bassett scene in Waiting To Exhale. Burn baby burn.
