puglet

Hi and Hugs Rose and congrats

2:06 am

Jackanory

hey there pug and rose

2:06 am

puglet

Hi Jack

2:07 am

grannyrose

;-) thanx my dear. hugs and kisses.

2:07 am

Jackanory

Its' been a while pug how are you?

2:07 am

grannyrose

hey ya jack. how are you tonight? and pugs, hun, are you doing okay?

2:08 am

puglet

Iam fine Jack, thanks--how has your guy's day been

2:08 am

Jackanory

I'm well thanks rose, and you?

2:09 am

grannyrose

quiet here, pugs. no church today, felt a little 'off' this morning.

2:09 am

puglet

from doing too much yesterday

2:09 am

grannyrose

nice, jack. that you are well. have you been busy, hun?

2:10 am

grannyrose

okay, okay, pugs. wanna come over here and do it for me?? i know, hun, that was an unfair question.

2:10 am

Jackanory

Fairly busy, last day for my son at home. He's back to uni tomorrow

2:11 am

puglet

I sure would Rose--lol

2:12 am

puglet

are you going to the pool tomorrow

2:13 am

puglet

Is that the only child you have Jack

2:14 am

Jackanory

Yup, just the one

2:14 am

puglet

Is this his first year at the uni

2:15 am

puglet

brb coffee

2:15 am

Jackanory

No this is year 3

2:16 am

Jackanory

I've been lucky that so far he's been home for summers though

2:16 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. haven't had a message to say it ISN'T on, so will be up at 5:50am. as don says in surprise, there are 2 5o'clocks in a day. poor man.

2:16 am

grannyrose

what's he studying, jack?

2:17 am

Jackanory

He's studying music composition, maths and chemistry

2:18 am

grannyrose

egad!! what is he? a masochist? lol. obviously he is very intelligent.

2:19 am

Jackanory

Just likes studying and has always enjoyed and been good at maths - which is probably where he's headed job wise

2:20 am

grannyrose

good on him, jack. unlike my step-son who has asperger's. he is going to be the eternal student. he is very gifted, but no social skills.

2:22 am

Jackanory

That's tough, interesting people with that condition though

2:24 am

grannyrose

there have been quite a few through history. i am so in awe of him...his maths skills and his memory. he actually reads a physics te4book like i read an agatha christie novel...lol

2:25 am

Jackanory

Sounds like he'll make a good academic! Is physics his area?

2:25 am

grannyrose

where is your son hoping to go with all that knowledge, jack?

2:27 am

Jackanory

He's not sure. I imagine he'll do postgraduate study somewhere but needs to alk to somebody about what to do with a pure maths degree. He's less interested in the more applied stuff like statistical modelling which would more easily result in a job

2:27 am

Jackanory

talk

2:27 am

grannyrose

jack, to be an academic, he will have to relate to people with a lot less brain skills than he has. i think of him as an einstein or similar. who knows where he will finish up? his father despairs of him ever having a job which earns an income.

2:28 am

Jackanory

Research work might suit him?

2:29 am

grannyrose

hmmm, pure maths...could lead to space travel to the nth degree. what an amazing person your son is.

2:30 am

Jackanory

He is pretty amazing but I am somewhat biased ... He's a lovely person which is what matters the most

2:30 am

Jackanory

I got lucky there

2:31 am

grannyrose

that is so wonderful, jack. i love it that you and he are able to be so close.

2:33 am

Jackanory

Yes, lucky there too

2:34 am

Jackanory

How's your knee rose?

2:35 am

grannyrose

hang onto it with both hands, dear. keep your mind open, and let your boy be free to choose his path through life. i wish you both every happiness possible, and him, all that he needs to be satisfied with his life.

2:36 am

Jackanory

Thank you, great advice and lovely of you to care

2:37 am

grannyrose

jack, not too bad. with the fibromyalgia, i have spasms. i start hydrotherapy(hopefully) tomorrow. i know that once i have built up the tolerance to standing and movement, i willo be able to return to work.

2:38 am

Jackanory

Good you are making progress, I hope the hydrotherapy is enjoyable and helps. Sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia, I gather that can be really unpleasant.

2:41 am

grannyrose

lol, jack. i was told 11 years ago that it is not a disability. one day i am going to show that doctor what it is like without treatment. silly man!! it is now recognised as a disbility which qualifies for a pension....and i am supposed to be able to return to my usual work. yeah, right!!

2:44 am

grannyrose

BUT.... to fulfil workcover requirements, i will continue to attempt to return to work. hopefully, get back to my work hours and duties. THEN i will retire. that is the ace up my sleeve. i will soon have enough monies to retire on.

2:45 am

Jackanory

Have you had it all that time? That's mean. Good on you for doing what you can with the system. I bet retirement sounds good!

2:48 am

Jackanory

Is this grid tricky or is it just me?

2:48 am

grannyrose

jack, have had it for over 30 years, probably closer to 40 years.

2:48 am

grannyrose

a few strange words, jack.

2:49 am

grannyrose

do you have ca6?

2:49 am

grannyrose

and the italian good-bye

2:50 am

Jackanory

not ca 6 but all the other cas

2:50 am

grannyrose

would you like me to list the 6's and 7's?

2:50 am

Jackanory

I've got lickety up so can check them but thanks rose

2:50 am

grannyrose

3:32 am

puglet

I am, thanks and glad all is well with you

3:32 am

grannyrose

3:32 am

puglet

did you go out walking backwards? lol

3:33 am

grannyrose

how's mrs zooz doing, zooz? is she okay?

3:33 am

zoozzoom

My washing machine blew up Friday..just as all the shops had closed and all my dirty clothes were all sodden inside the drum...had to take them out and dry them...not very nice...still got a new machine yesterday and clothes all clean now..lol

3:34 am

grannyrose

ugh, faux pas!!! that is crosshair. sorry, zooz.

3:34 am

puglet

Rose, it was warm enough here yesterday, that when my friend came we had coffee out at the picnic table.

3:34 am

zoozzoom

That is good news on the steamed veggies, Rose...well done...i love steamed veg.

3:34 am

grannyrose

nice, pugs, very nice, hun.

3:35 am

zoozzoom

hahaha not backwards..no, Pugs, but i did go out for over three hours.ended up at my parents for a cup of tea before making my way back :-)

3:35 am

puglet

happy you got your clothes all done up Zoom

3:35 am

grannyrose

isn't that always the way? shops close...washing machine decides to not work...

3:36 am

puglet

oh wow Zoom---great job!

3:36 am

zoozzoom

It has warmed slightly here..i can feel spring in the air...Yippie!

3:36 am

o-o

steamed veggies need an anger management course

3:37 am

zoozzoom

hahaha..good one, o-o...lol

3:37 am

puglet

we had 50's here yesterday but the temp have dropped to the 20's now

3:38 am

puglet

lol, OO, and hello and congrats too

3:39 am

o-o

Hello, all.

3:39 am

zoozzoom

Hello, o-o :-)

3:40 am

zoozzoom

So whats your plan of action today, Pugs?...anything exciting?

3:40 am

puglet

so Zoom, did you get a wringer type of washer--lol

3:41 am

puglet

whats exciting? NO plans--:(

3:41 am

zoozzoom

Funny..lol..No i got a new fancy one with digital dials of which i still do not know what they do..but i am sure it will make me dinner too..if only i can find the right programme on it..lol

3:43 am

puglet

hey I want one of those! sounds like one nice machine there

3:43 am

zoozzoom

Oh sorry to hear that...maybe phone a friend and ask them for coffee or goto a cafe with them for a chat?

3:44 am

puglet

my friend came yesterday--I will find something to pass the day away with

3:45 am

puglet

How about you? You got a exciting day ahead

3:45 am

o-o

I am going to watch the shape of shadows change in coincidence with the rotation of the

3:45 am

o-o

Earth

3:45 am

zoozzoom

To be honest i wanted a machine with simple dials with just on off cottons delicates and that's about it..but they did not have any of those in stock...typical just have the more expensive models in stock.

3:46 am

puglet

Oh God, OO that does sound exciting--lol

3:46 am

grannyrose

o-o. too funny, dear.

3:46 am

grannyrose

and WTG O-=O!!!

3:46 am

zoozzoom

Well having my tea..talking to you..babble a bit & then to parents..make them lunch and chat with them for a few hours..come home...and muck about here doing odds and sods no doubt..lol

3:47 am

puglet

they hid the cheaper ones Zoom--lol

3:47 am

puglet

are you walking there again

3:48 am

zoozzoom

Yes, Pugs, i do not have a car..so it is either walk or bus for me when i do journeys lol

3:48 am

grannyrose

zooz, my digital machine drives me nuts. if i accidentally start it with the wrong program, it takes me nearly 10 minutes to stop it, and get it to start the program i want.

3:49 am

puglet

can you get a bike? Or do you know how to peddle

3:50 am

zoozzoom

Not good, Rose, The first wash i did with the machine yesterday was a bloody two & half hour cycle..and i could not find a way to stop it..did not want to turn the power off just incase i broke it..i am not domesticated as you can tell..lol

3:50 am

grannyrose

how about roller-skates? would so become your image, zooz.

3:51 am

o-o

I had a bike but was cured of it going over the handlebars into a snowbank.

3:51 am

grannyrose

yeah, zooz. it's insane. i am so used to my old top-loader...

3:51 am

zoozzoom

I have two bikes, Pugs, both need new chains and sprockets but no shops in this area do cycle repairs..there are a few more things that need doing to the bikes which i can not do..so need a shop to do them.

3:52 am

puglet

LOL, OO at least you didnt climb a tree

3:52 am

grannyrose

lolol, o-o. poor don was once hit by an ambulance at a round-about. and they didn't stop to take him to hospital, either.

3:53 am

puglet

probably be cheaper to just get a new bike or a used one at some roadside sale

3:53 am

zoozzoom

Oh hahah have done similar, o-o, such a learning curve..but still got back on and carried on..i have even been ru over when on a bike..went over the bonnet of the car..it was hillarious really..no damage to me except pride.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

Yes i agree, Pugs, might just do that...as these two bikes i have are top of the range bikes..so cost a lot of money for parts..i was really into cycling in a big way back then.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

they still look brand new now..lol..i like to look after my things as best i can at least.

3:56 am

puglet

maybe you can sale those or trade them for just a plain one

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Hey!, Rose, what image of me doo you have in your head..Rollerskates...your taking the pi**...hahahaha

3:56 am

puglet

can you roller skate Rose

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Oh no, Pugs, will never sell them....love my bikes..to me they are like old vintage cars..ok that just sounds weird i will shut up about the bikes..lol

3:58 am

puglet

I understand Zoom---I feel the same way about my saddle and horse stuff

3:58 am

grannyrose

used to, pugs.

3:59 am

zoozzoom

*imagines*rose on roller skates with a pink trck suit on...and head banner skating up the path..lol

3:59 am

grannyrose

oh, absolutely, zooz..lol

3:59 am

zoozzoom

with her walkman on..with wires plugged into her ears..lol

4:00 am

grannyrose

lolol, you forgot the ice-skates....

4:00 am

puglet

does paint a nice picture at that--lol

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Not seen Joso here for a while..does he still do babble?

4:01 am

puglet

I think he was here last week once

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Oh man i tried ice skating once..nearly fell over and grabbed this blokes jumper and strectched it all the way to the ground ..where i fell gently onto the ice..his face when he saw the state of his jumper..hahahaha

4:02 am

grannyrose

yeah, he does. but he did say a month or so ago, that he wouldn't be here regularly.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

Well as long as he is well..that is all that matters.

4:02 am

grannyrose

oh, gosh, zooz...i can so see that happening. roflol.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

I have never been since, Rose, me and ice...we just do not get along with each other..i hate it and i am sure it hates me..and i am fine with that..lol

4:04 am

grannyrose

well it hates your tushie, or your tushie hates it..take your pick.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

How far are yu now from returning to work, Rose, and are you looking forward to it..or are you getting used to not working?

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Both i think, rose, lol

4:06 am

grannyrose

zooz, looking at the beginning of april for a return to work. yes, in one way i am looking forward to it. i miss the 'action' if you know what i mean.

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Yes i do understand what you mean, Rose, April is not that far away..so that is good news for you :-)

4:08 am

grannyrose

but...i am also so tired of working...i would so like to retire...waiting for bank to get it's act together, then i can make an informed decision.

4:10 am

zoozzoom

I have 16 years to wait before i can retire..although i am still out of work and turned fifty recently..does not bode well for interviews..who wants to employ a fifty year old when they could hire a younger person :-(

4:10 am

grannyrose

zooz, i have been working since 1970...i figure it is time for the government to support me. but, according to don, i have to use up my superannuation first.

4:11 am

grannyrose

yeah, zooz. i so feel for you mate. with all your experience, and it counts for nothing against your age. it is really so sad.

4:11 am

zoozzoom

I must admit i do not know how it all works, Rose, so if don says you have to..i will take his word for it...sorry i am no help there.

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Here i know you have to pay into the sysytem for about thirty years for you to be able to get a state pension..do not know anything about any superannuation thingy.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

I did have a private pension running for about 18 years..but that fell to the waste side when i stopped it and i never re-started it..so it must be worth nothing now.

4:15 am

zoozzoom

So i will have to rely on the state pension...thats if it is still going by the time i retire..lol

4:16 am

Jackanory

fw. night all and happy babbling

4:16 am

puglet

night Jack

4:16 am

puglet

oh and congrats too

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Jackanory!

Hi, ruby...yep, hate these little grids.

I almost never finish, but at least with the big ones, it's fun to play

I thought that was a cross between a deer and a goat, or maybe that's a geer

6:43 am

check. it is to love to excessive degree

6:44 am

so my second thought was the correct one

i know someone who does, but i don't

7:24 am

so i can attest that she loves it but not answer questions about how to use it :)

7:26 am

i am excited about using it. does that make me crazy

Could I get a clue for ne6, please?

it's a babblet we have not infrequently

7:28 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

7:30 am

MollyL

Isn't not infrequently, frequently? : P

7:35 am

hurshy

not necessarily

7:36 am

hurshy

when it comes to amounts of time, there's not just two options, this or that, it's a scale where any increment is possible, so they aren't strict opposites like yes or no.

7:37 am

hurshy

some babblets come up once or twice a year, some maybe once a month, some once a week, some every other day... so i wanted to express that this wasn't an every other day one but also not a twice a year one...

7:38 am

MollyL

Alrighty then.

hi Molly, My back still hurts but not as much. It is a pita.

7:56 am

suefrad625

ok, i just vacuumed the living room and dinning room. understand neither is more then 14 X 15. I have laminate flooring through out and a rug in the living room in the center with lots of floor around it. With my Kirby i had to use both the head for the carpet and the hose for the floors. This thing did as good as the Kirby in half the time and effort. WOW, i thought if i let go of it on the carpet, it would run down it and out the window. I will let you all know how it washes the floors.

7:57 am

Investing in a good vacuum is always nice. I spent years and a lot of money on Hoovers and Eurekas. When I finally got a Dyson I was amazed at how much better it was at the job.

8:09 am

I have spent years investing in a cleaning woman/man. I'm always amazed at how easy it is to do.

Ah, you are fortunate. I don't have the dollars for a cleaning person.

8:11 am

gramma

Well, that was a quick little grid. I always want more on a Sunday in the off seasons. (Which is any season other than fall)

8:12 am

gramma

Molly, I am fortunate. I also can't do it because my body won't work properly

wow, nbt took no time at all!

8:33 am

13 degrees here, molly, and our snow has turned to concrete (and everything that melted the day before yesterday is now ice)

8:34 am

MollyL

Gross, ice is the worst.

8:35 am

it's awful. The sidewalks are particularly bad; I've been walking the dog in the street.

8:36 am

That is such a Catch-22. Slip on the sidewalk or take a chance of getting hit by a car.

8:53 am

What did you want yesterday TO?

8:55 am

72 Temple Owl

something yesterday, i suppose. now i just want to finish and enjoy the warm sunshine. have to shoverl snow out so it melts.

8:56 am

rururocks

Ok..

8:58 am

72 Temple Owl

oh. i remember...something about the chog being less gloomy and creepy after i left

9:00 am

72 Temple Owl

or because you arrive. not sure which.

9:00 am

rururocks

And your comment of the chat is odd and creepy when I entered? You mean..why all the drama and departing ..it is only a chat

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

it WAS od an creepy beore i left. sometimes it is that way

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

and then i usually just fade out or surf other plaes for a whilr

9:03 am

72 Temple Owl

my keyborad is crap

9:03 am

rururocks

It can be when a certain player has his death and dying profiles

9:03 am

72 Temple Owl

along with my ba typing

9:04 am

72 Temple Owl

ok i am not getting it. i thought you said it was less creepy because i left.

9:04 am

rururocks

Along with grim reapers...skulls..etc..

9:09 am

rururocks

Creepy to me is inappropriately searching out another player her and ogling private photos..and commenting on it..and yet no one other than a few players did anything about it or were offended by it.

9:10 am

72 Temple Owl

not sure why that would come up out of the blue . almost like looking to pick a fight. i don't know anything about the other issue. can it be dealt with in the real world?

9:11 am

rururocks

That is what my profile. ..skull..and comment was about..

9:13 am

rururocks

Someone crossed a line..and no one other than a few players like myself give a shit...about it..

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

ok. i want to know if your comment was about me yesterday.

9:14 am

rururocks

No..it wasn't about you..was your comment about me? Be truthful

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

no

9:15 am

rururocks

Okay

9:15 am

Trifioso

oh geesh....good morning. I need to change my profile pic I guess, and RIGHT NOW

9:16 am

72 Temple Owl

and not sure why you think that. well, ru, i will say this about the other: each person sees this site as she or he wishes to see it. some players have real life friendships and connections here. They share things that they do not share with other players as in friendship in real life. the outrage you share at your friend being stalked would not translate to other players; i doubt they even know.

9:16 am

rururocks

Hi trip

9:16 am

Trifioso

hi ruru

9:16 am

72 Temple Owl

hey, trif ! love the hat

9:17 am

Trifioso

me too, but .....skulls! I thought that was a thing we were doing, so I posted that photo. took it down, tout suite

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

i do know this: in my area, they are very aggressive in pursuing on on line threats and issue

9:17 am

Trifioso

and hello TO

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

trif: put up what you like. it's a hat, for goodness sakes.

9:18 am

rururocks

The player isn't my friend...but I felt badly for her. And yes I have made friends here too that I have met and talk to...

9:18 am

72 Temple Owl

i have no idea of what you are speaking a nd i doubt others do.

9:19 am

Trifioso

please, I have stepped in enough babble mires to last me a lifetime (JC)

9:19 am

rururocks

I will ask Doren...If she can let you know

9:20 am

72 Temple Owl

trif: i think a reasonable person as in legal reasonable person standar would NOT be offended at your hat.

9:20 am

Trifioso

its just a pro pic. not really an issue. I switch them up anyway....

9:20 am

72 Temple Owl

i dont know because i am not wanted to know and that is ok.

9:21 am

rururocks

? How do you conclude that? What?

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

and on that note, the snow is calling to be unshoveled so it can disappear

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

i can dream, can't i? :)

9:22 am

Trifioso

I am sorry you need to shovel, TO. this winter is ENDLESS

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

trif, i can see the light at the end of the tunne. and that is enough.

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

these snow piles are so huge and packed, they need help to melt before it gets cold again this week. good exercise.

9:25 am

Trifioso

there are snow piles at my local mall that will still be there in JUNE

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

and dangerous. cannot see around them when walking and driving

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

but i do love your new pic! hahaha

9:26 am

Trifioso

thanks. and ruru - I am really, genuinely sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience here. babble is supposed to be fun, and a good community. awful when then gets tainted by someone crossing a line

9:28 am

rururocks

I agree trif..and really ...it is mostly fun..other than a few people. ..I try to and do have a good time here

9:28 am

72 Temple Owl

the line is crossed too often now. it is just a matter of who is doing the crossing and to whom. i remember some knoxk down drag out fights over language and appropriate behavior when there were minors present.

9:30 am

Trifioso

on a word related note - is the d fishy?

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

and a lot of it is justified by the right to express ones self in a free country and free cyberspace. but there is a line between freedomn of expressiona nd civility.

9:30 am

Trifioso

nm - psychic cluing always works for me. the SECOND I ask, I find the word

9:30 am

rururocks

I don't agree with that TO... The chat when I am around seems normal to me

9:31 am

Trifioso

we had an issue with that at the local school - some kids made a VERY unkind FB page about a classmate, and when called into the school, with their parents, the VERY first thing one of the dads said was "My son has first amendment rights, you can't touch him."

9:31 am

72 Temple Owl

it is not constant, but it is here. and i think it is easier to let go if not done to one's self or ones friends

9:31 am

Christa

Good Morning Babblers

9:31 am

Trifioso

good morning christa

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

that is outrageous to me and you , but not to everyone. is my point

9:32 am

Trifioso

indeed. the dad didn't get the bigger issue, at ALL

9:32 am

Trifioso

just because you can doesn't mean you should

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

there is leality and there is civility. civility is very much a dying concept.

9:33 am

rururocks

Actually there are laws about cyber bullying

9:33 am

Trifioso

there are, but when you have a dad starting the conversation from a challenging, defensive position, it gets ugly VERY fast

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

by the time legalremedy is obtained, much damage has been done.

9:34 am

Trifioso

this facebook page, which was called the "I hate timmy" page, had members in town, from the school, but also from places like Malaysia and other countries. seriously.

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

it is like, you still are all the terrible things i said about you, i just cannot say them in public any more. now what good does that do?

9:35 am

Trifioso

what good does saying them do anyway?>

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

sadly, i believe you.everyone needs a dog to kick at that age. growing up is hard.

9:35 am

rururocks

I think your civility line gets crossed sometimes TO as you might miss understand a comment and rush to react to it. I usually wait to see what else is said

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps. ea4 of us have limits. mine are very narrow when it comes to religion.

9:37 am

rururocks

Ah... that's were the first ammendment rights come into play

9:37 am

Trifioso

there is one babbler who drives me NUTS over the way they ask, nay, DEMAND clues, and then complains when they don't understand them. But I say naught, as I am figuring it's probably just me who is bothered, and no one asked me, so I stay silent. well, until now

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

and there is amny a time i crack a joke without realizing its effect and i regret it. but some folks never regret; self expression is more important

9:38 am

Christa

Enjoy the day, bye for now.

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

ah m- thats where civility somes into play. this is a social acitivy, not a legal arena. and i see some parallels with trif's example, if loose.

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

crista,the convo is heavy...do come back laterpls.

9:39 am

Trifioso

its a big community, with lots of us in it. of course we dont' always think the same about things. but I have also found there is NO problem the chog can't solve

9:40 am

Trifioso

------> just found a seven, feeling highly smug

9:41 am

rururocks

Not all jokes go over well..for even professional comedians..it is all about taking it a bit easier here..and not sweating the small stuff

9:41 am

Trifioso

amen ruru (wait, too religious?) hahaha

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

well, ru, that is true but we don't get to define for others what is the small stuff. except for those with which we are truly connected by family or friendship. legally, as in eeo cases, that is the law

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

hahah trif

9:43 am

rururocks

I was speaking for myself TO

9:44 am

72 Temple Owl

still true to me

9:45 am

Trifioso

TO, I have to gently disagree, but only because I know my sisters -- I would not DARE to try to define their "small stuff" - trust me, there would be hearing and hair loss

9:45 am

rururocks

Then that is really your issue and not mine

9:46 am

72 Temple Owl

ok let me backtrack, something is off track...i think i said that we don't get to define small stuff. and ru, i don't care but i am not talking about anyone's issues and not sure why you say that

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

but it has been a very enlightening covo.

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

happy babbling,a ll!

9:49 am

rururocks

What I am saying is that if someone's upset by small stuff..that is really their choice. This chat is often a lot of small stuff and apparently people read into comments here and misunderstand the meaning of what is being said all the time.

9:50 am

mab

one tends to project on internet cohorts, as one knows so very little about them. there are people here that i see as bullies, or worse, but that is simply my idiosyncratic point of view (although i bet i'm right).

9:51 am

Trifioso

I think a lot of tone and inference gets lost in translation having to read comments rather than hear them as well

9:51 am

mab

additionally, i think it is difficult to present one's true self in a chat log such as this. not enough space or time.

9:52 am

rururocks

That is exactly what I was trying to say to TO

9:52 am

Trifioso

oh that damn volcano got me again! NBT at last

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

no doubt. but soem folks do like to hammer home thefree speech point. if i say something in jest to somemone and they take it the wrong way - well that NEVER happends to me i am just hypothetical here ;) - i have the right to say it but if i continue to do so, what is going on with me here?

9:53 am

Trifioso

I think I tend not to prescribe motive to such things, TO - I think people just have WIDELY varying sense of humor.

9:54 am

Hi scrabs...

A propos nothing: A guy on Italian TV pops in as the devil, even has hair swept up on both sides to resemble horns. When asked what he does in his free time, he said he plays games on the Infernet....

9:54 am

MollyL

I think one of Ru's original points got lost. Someone here felt stalked, said they felt stalked and nothing was done about it. That bothers me.

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

and even if i think it is sweating small stuff, is my need to be witty more important? sometimes if i offend someone unintentially here i will consciously tone it way way down for days to think

9:55 am

mab

what to do?

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

hi molly! and it think this began with i have not witnessed this nor heard of it before nwo

9:56 am

rururocks

Not if you are here to play GAME . And laugh

9:57 am

72 Temple Owl

so, is this to be a general topic o f discussion? we can use BabAnon.

9:57 am

72 Temple Owl

erda: funny!

9:57 am

Erda

Thank you, TO

9:58 am

72 Temple Owl

way too heavy for those seeking amusement today.

9:58 am

72 Temple Owl

mab brings up good points

9:58 am

rururocks

I think it is a good discussion

10:00 am

rururocks

Mab's..points are right on the money

10:00 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, but heavy. i mean, people have troubles emough for themselves and want diversion. but i meant, if there is a threat to a babbler perhaps it should be aired via Babanon and discussed. gee, jc threatened me. no to do about that

10:01 am

mab

except for extreme behavior (stalking), what one says has more to do with oneself than it has to do with those to whom it is said. here or anywhere.

10:01 am

MollyL

People talk about their troubles here all the time. Illness, depression, death.

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

and as out front as that behavior was, not everyone saw the shenanigans as something malevolent and to be dealt with.

10:01 am

rururocks

That isn't true To..A lot of us tried to get rid of JC..and he didn't just limit himself to you

10:02 am

jaxx7

Can I put my 10 pence worth in here? A lot of thr trouble today lies in the fact that people today all have rights but not responsibilities. They don't see that others have rights as well, they are totally self obsessed. An old lady once said to me that the only 4 letter word you don't hear today is duty. The internet is fine but you can't pick up on the nuances of language and the cues you get when face to face. now can we please get back to 'playing' the game as it is all a bit heavy for a Sunday afternoon.

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

oh yes, and it is a wonderful outlet. i found the site ahortly after my marriage was ending and it was great comfort to me, actually.

10:03 am

72 Temple Owl

well, what i am saying is he had his supporters; not everyone saw him the same way. that amazes me, but we are a diverse lot.

10:03 am

Scrabbler

TY, jaxx. I remind myself that I do not have to read or participate in the chat if I choose not to.

10:03 am

72 Temple Owl

ty , jaxx for sharing your opinion.

10:04 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabs, how is miss bea?

10:04 am

jaxx7

It is just that: my opinion. Free speech people

10:04 am

mab

good point, scrabbler. one does not have to involve oneself in the chat.

10:05 am

mab

point well put, jaxx

10:06 am

Scrabbler

About the same. Twisted head, wobbly. I have her in a small box so she can lean against the walls. She can sit up and clean her face. She is eating on her own. But I feed her a watery mix of a product called Critical Care (made for ill herbivores), and give her meds.

10:06 am

72 Temple Owl

i saw the photos. do you tink she is improving and do they know what is wrong?

10:07 am

mab

poor bun. lucky to have you.

10:07 am

MollyL

It's unfortunate that discussion is often not welcome here. And then the gossip starts in emails and that is how things fall apart.

10:08 am

Scrabbler

Head tilt is thought to be either a bacterial inner ear infection or a protozoan brain infection--much debate. So she is on 2 meds. I had a rabbit wth this 14 yrs ago and nursed him back to good health after 5 wks. He had a residual head tilt but was happy.

10:08 am

hoping for the best.

10:08 am

72 Temple Owl

what you describe seems hopeful

10:09 am

Scrabbler

I am doing all I can for her.

10:09 am

jaxx7

How old is this bunny?

10:09 am

72 Temple Owl

i am sure you are.

10:09 am

scrabbler, you are a VERY good mom to your fur babies

10:09 am

Scrabbler

I got her almost 6 yrs ago as a rescue bunny and she was 1-2 yrs old at that time.

10:10 am

mab

one does well to understand one has little control on the internet. who knows (or cares) what poeple discuss via email.

10:10 am

mab

it seems pointless to upset one's self

10:11 am

72 Temple Owl

and ms. molly: not sure when i have spoken with you lst but date went very well. lovely program, lovely place, and i made it through the reception without spilling anything or tripping. :)

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Trif, I am loving her up as much as possible. I took her to an alternative vet yesterday, for acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy. In 2000 I took Peter Rabbit there when he had head tilt.

10:12 am

JenMO16

hi al

10:12 am

Trifioso

mab, I would agree with that to a point. When someone lashes out, via a public forum, includes information that is not true, or takes personal information about someone without their consent and uses it -- I have huge issues with that

10:12 am

Scrabbler

Yes, mab, I ignore what I choose to ignore, and exit when I want. I wish more people here did that rather than escalate the tension.

10:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jen

10:13 am

JenMO16

hi scrabs!

10:13 am

rururocks

Right on trif...

10:13 am

mab

me too, some times, trif. but hard to correct or control.

10:13 am

jaxx7

I am a great believer in acupuncture for people. have never heard of it for animals but can see no reason that it won't help your bunny. Unfortunately she is an elderly rabbit but it could make her more comfortable.

10:14 am

Trifioso

and I did speak up about that once, after someone did it here. and the backlash was surprising, but so was the support I got. Not sure I would do it again, though

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

hi jen

10:14 am

JenMO16

I have a feeling a HUGE puzzle will be coming on soon!

10:14 am

JenMO16

hi TO!

10:14 am

jaxx7

As I say to my grandson when he swears at the X-Box - it is just a game.

10:15 am

rururocks

What was that about trif?

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. just in time for the work week. :)

10:15 am

mab

it's the wild west here, or the outback or something.

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

mab, the web is often described that way.

10:15 am

Trifioso

hmmm. I hope you are right, jen, but I have to admit, and this is JUST MY OPINION (heh) I like a big grid on a weekend. too much to do on a weekday to babble for long

10:16 am

JenMO16

I agree Trif!

10:16 am

jaxx7

I agree, Trif.

10:16 am

jaxx7

two minds with but a single thought

10:17 am

mab

it is just that way. best to realize that when someone says something ugly it has more to do with them than whomever it is directed at. i repeat myself.

10:18 am

jaxx7

My grandchildren have arrived so I am off to get Sunday tea. BBL

10:18 am

mixi6

bye jaxx

10:18 am

72 Temple Owl

bye, jaxx

10:18 am

mab

cheers, jaxx

10:18 am

Trifioso

how lovely! have fun jaxx

10:18 am

72 Temple Owl

and bye, all. bb tonight.

10:19 am

mab

bye temple.

10:19 am

MollyL

Trif makes a good point. People should be very careful about the personal things they share here. That information can be used for not so nice purposes.

10:20 am

rururocks

It used to be that if someone dared to bring up politics. Religion..certain players would stomp out of the chat..isn't this chat kinda like hanging around the water cooler for anyone other than me?

10:21 am

JenMO16

I apologize to anyone who may have seen me post this yesterday, but do you remember the man that died at Arrowhead Football Stadium in Dec. because he got in to the wrong car and I knew him?

10:21 am

mab

there are virtually no rules; silly to attempt to impose them.

10:21 am

MollyL

Chat forums are usually for discussion. At least they are everywhere else on the internet.

10:22 am

mab

i remember, jen

10:23 am

JenMO16

the guy was charged with manslaughter for punching him

10:23 am

mab

i hope justice is done. such a terrible thing.

10:24 am

JenMO16

I do too...

10:24 am

mixi6

jen you may ant to reread your post for bad context. lol

10:26 am

JenMO16

bad context?

10:26 am

Trifioso

we do have a pb, mab....its lovely! there is almost always chocolate in it

10:26 am

Good Enough

note to self: do not tell people i know jen when getting into a car

10:26 am

rururocks

Maybe in this age of zillions of water bottles. .no one remembers water coolers

10:27 am

MollyL

I find it interesting that when there are 30 minute discussions here about dogs, cats or teaching, no one jumps in and says "can't we just get back to playing the game"

10:27 am

Trifioso

we have one at work ruru! In true public school fashion, we each have to pay $15 a year to use it

10:28 am

rururocks

...guilty as charged on the dog stuff ..lol

10:28 am

Trifioso

whats worse? the people who LIVE to rat out those who didn't pay, but take water anyway. (eyeroll)

10:29 am

Trifioso

....guilty as charged on the teaching stuff.

10:29 am

mab

puppies and kitties don't usually carry the same emotional charge as 'issues'

10:32 am

rururocks

I am always interested to see what people here have to say about issues..it is way more interesting

10:32 am

JenMO16

can I get a clue for the O on the top for NBT?

10:33 am

rururocks

I have also gone through life learning to not walk on eggshells

10:33 am

mab

interesting can be dangerous, but if you want freedom ( and who doesn't) you have to be prepared to see stuff you don't like.

10:34 am

mab

thoughts of overly heated kitchens arise.

10:34 am

rururocks

Why didn't you join this discussion earlier mab...

10:35 am

rururocks

You actually are getting my point across more clearly than I tried to do

10:35 am

JenMO16

help with the top O?

10:36 am

Trifioso

oa 5. 10 jen. made of stuff horses like

10:41 am

Scrabbler

Really, telemarketer? Calling on a Sunday morning? Good bye.

10:42 am

JenMO16

Salvation Army?

10:43 am

Scrabbler

I did not hear his whole spiel.

10:44 am

JenMO16

guess you can't reeat anything

10:44 am

crosshair

howdy again my friends:)))

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Nice try. I try all sorts of re- words.

10:45 am

JenMO16

hi crossy!

10:45 am

Scrabbler

Hello Crossy. Congrats to Canada in ice hockey. They were a dominant team.

10:45 am

mab

hi crossy

10:45 am

crosshair

tyty:)) we are proud of them:))

10:45 am

mab

yes! well done canada!

10:46 am

Scrabbler

And our team underperformed.

10:46 am

crosshair

most of our pubs opened at special hours just for the last game

10:47 am

crosshair

even had the hockey games running on the whiteboard in the English class:)

10:47 am

JenMO16

now I am starting to type in words and the letters aren't in the puzzle!

10:48 am

JenMO16

going to have to go....my nephew has a Boy Scout Blue and Gold banquet today...back later

10:48 am

bonkler

i hope the nhl is excluded from olympic activity from here out

10:49 am

bonkler

canadian heretic over here, but they have no business at the games and rui the spirit of it. millionaires and corporate sponsors won, not the country

10:49 am

crosshair

Olympic teams are always made up of the best that the country has to offer, regardless of source

10:49 am

Scrabbler

I do that too, Jen.

10:50 am

crosshair

the sponsors always win, but we have to take what good we can from it all

10:50 am

Scrabbler

I do miss the days of when the Olympics were amateur athletes.

10:50 am

mab

i don't know anything about it, bonk, but i would bet money you're right

10:50 am

crosshair

if we hunt for ill, that is all we will see

10:50 am

crosshair

like the doping scandals of the 80,s

10:50 am

crosshair

Russian teams that were so doped up the ladies were growing handlebar mustaches

10:51 am

bonkler

i remember a skier being pulled from the blocks, years back, because their skis had the manufacturers logo writ large, had to tape over the m before being allowed to compete.

10:51 am

mab

there's something wrong with mustaches on women?

10:51 am

crosshair

well, not if they wax them first:))

10:52 am

bonkler

there'll always be cheaters (hi ben johnson) but this junk isn't olympic in any sense

10:53 am

crosshair

you should come to our Paralympics on blue mountain, bonkler, your mad blood would be calmed by true gaming spirit

10:53 am

bonkler

i donate to the paralympic movement

10:54 am

crosshair

it is amazing to watch. they are ture skilled atheletes

10:54 am

crosshair

true

10:54 am

bonkler

true olympians in spirit and deed

10:55 am

crosshair

that contraption they ski in if their legs do not work!! wow! I get scared just thinking of it.

10:55 am

mixi6

I think there should be caps on income to 10 time lowest paid employee (or contractor) for both sports and industry.

10:55 am

crosshair

it is like a soap box derby car cockpit balanced on a single ski

10:56 am

crosshair

I think bill gates would fight you on that idea mixi:))

10:57 am

crosshair

besides we have to cut him some slack. he just gave away 2B towards getting computers to school students

10:57 am

bonkler

if the pros want to compete, they should do so at a salary cap for the olympic year, say what the average luge athlete makes. the rest of their pro salary being diverted to support kids and paralympic sport. and they should be required to practice ad compete as a team in qualifiers, so missing a bout a third of the pro season.

10:58 am

crosshair

mm, sounds like a financial nightmare

10:58 am

Scrabbler

Yeah, what is wrong with moustaches on women? I come from a long line of hairy Italian women.

10:59 am

crosshair

do you wax yours scrabby?

10:59 am

crosshair

if so, that is fine, otherwise it tickles too much

11:00 am

mab

the crossy rule : D

11:00 am

crosshair

:)

11:00 am

crosshair

not a rule, more of a guideline:))

11:00 am

Scrabbler

I used to bleach it, occ waxed it, now I just shave. So do my sisters and cousins.

11:00 am

mab

:|D

11:01 am

Scrabbler

Once I had a young patient stare at my face and reply, "You have a moustache. Are you Italian?" She had learned from her family.

11:03 am

crosshair

had a patient for you in my English class on Thursday scrabby. 19 year old lass had a total meltdown during a particularly tough persuasive essay assignment;(

11:04 am

crosshair

one of 3 assignments going at the same time and she just went over the high side over it all

11:04 am

crosshair

citing those damn sources in APA makes mee feel like joining her:(

11:05 am

mab

footnotes!

11:05 am

mab

maddening!

11:05 am

crosshair

nope..footnotes are dead

11:05 am

crosshair

if you see one, squash it like a bug

11:05 am

crosshair

before it breeds

11:06 am

Scrabbler

Yes, following the rules when writing papers is tough, but you can only learn by practicing. Adolescent females are very emotional and histrionic--our worst patients.

11:06 am

Judi

*Gasps* When did footnotes die? I never saw the obituary.

11:06 am

mab

no more footnotes?

11:06 am

crosshair

only see footnotes now in scientific notations and such

11:07 am

mab

no one under 23 should be allowed in university without a nanny or governess

11:07 am

Scrabbler

Crossy is our English prof now. So no more ibids and et als

11:07 am

crosshair

still have headers and footers however

11:08 am

Judi

Thank goodness footnotes went the way of the dinosaurs. Do you still have to list your source materials if you do a term paper - or any other bloated assignment?

11:08 am

crosshair

lol, I will NEVER be a grammer overlord, scrabby. as a matter of fact, in babble, I let my hair down, and if anything about my typing irks someone, they can complain to the management

11:08 am

mab

but, but.... where do you put your citations?

11:08 am

crosshair

oh yes, judi

11:09 am

crosshair

can take hourse to get a citation page just so.. maddening

11:09 am

crosshair

all at the end , on it's own page mab

11:09 am

crosshair

hours

11:10 am

Judi

Okay. Well, that makes sense. Term papers are the major reason I dropped out of college. Tedious, pointless, infuriating. I'm all for giving credit, but if it's not going to be published, chill out.

11:10 am

mab

ohhhh. that makes sense.

11:10 am

crosshair

sorry, judi, they are, if anything, even more retentive about citations

11:11 am

crosshair

they are at this time retiring the MLA format

11:11 am

Judi

I suppose that makes sense too, since you can pull just about any source material off the internet these days.

11:12 am

crosshair

they were not worried so much about it being published or not, they are more worried about plagerism

11:12 am

Scrabbler

I mostly took math and science courses in college. My visual-spatial mind does not do well with abstract topics.

11:13 am

crosshair

I find that generally, math people do not do well in English and English types tend to crash in math

11:13 am

Scrabbler

The differences in our brains is fascinating. I saw a 14 yr old boy that is a violin prodigy. His mother showed me a video of him performing. Amazing.

11:13 am

crosshair

because in math, there is, of course, only one right answer, while in English there are shades of grey

11:14 am

Judi

That's me. English brained. Mathlethically deficient.

11:14 am

crosshair

same here, judi

11:14 am

crosshair

took just enough math to meet what they demanded

11:14 am

Scrabbler

And my best subject is math--I like symbols, diagrams, lists, etc.

11:14 am

crosshair

got a 91% but I still hated it:))

11:15 am

Judi

All this talk of college has made my brain cramp up. Time for the Sunday afternoon nap. Ta for now! *POOF*

11:15 am

Scrabbler

Sleep well, Judi.

11:15 am

crosshair

tc, judi

11:16 am

crosshair

taking a college English lit now, and I am sitting at a 96% , but there are still many papers to hand in before it is all over on march 26th:/

11:18 am

crosshair

speaking of which, i will brb. have to set up a split screen on this monitor. that way i can babble and work on an English paper at the same time:))

11:19 am

mab

well done, crossy - 96%! very very good!

11:20 am

crosshair

do i get a cookie?? :))

11:21 am

mab

at least.

11:24 am

Scrabbler

And a gold star, Crossy.

11:25 am

crosshair

yaaaa!

11:26 am

crosshair

think i shall do what the scots do and go "commando" under my robe in June:))

11:26 am

Scrabbler

Yes!

11:27 am

crosshair

like Robin Williams did in Patch Adams:)))

11:27 am

crosshair

will be a hoot!

11:27 am

11:29 am

Jillyjill

And of course, so easy that one word is laying across bottom row not hiding at all!

11:30 am

crosshair

11:30 am

Jillyjill

already beginning to see that

11:33 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jill

11:33 am

Jillyjill

Hi there scrabs!

11:35 am

Jillyjill

Weather here perfect for what I want to do today...which is sit and do nothing! It is snowing, we have 8-14 inches predicted and winter storm warning until tomorrow. Jammies and babble!

11:36 am

crosshair

11:39 am

i hate weak tea. Wife made me some earl grey the other day and i took one sip and had to put a dollop of something in it just to give it some taste

11:41 am

crosshair

we are back to good conditions scrabby nd it is down to minus 18 tonight, but it will be like a hard iron plate. much grooming will be needed

11:41 am

Jillyjill

Hello sweet ruru dear..

11:43 am

rururocks

no.. just touched by all the love in the chat :D

Jillyjill

From where winter started here, as in nothing, we are sure getting our fill now!

11:43 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, I bought a skate ski package and used them for the first time yesterday, but conditions were icy.

11:43 am

Scrabbler

((Ruru and Dylan))

11:44 am

Jillyjill

<---feelinf rather wicked today.. ((ruru))

11:44 am

rururocks

me?.. sort of.

11:44 am

crosshair

it is tough when it is this icy, the ski edges have a tough time getting a bite when cornering

11:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I need packed powder, so must wait.

11:45 am

crosshair

skis end up going chattering across the top of the hard spots and over ya go!

11:45 am

Jillyjill

LOL...actually meant me ruru...that's what leading a teen retreat fri/sat and no sleep will make me

11:45 am

Scrabbler

SO I will go snowshoe now, then shop in town. Bye, kids.

11:46 am

Jillyjill

See you later scrabs...have fun!

11:46 am

11:53 am

rubyfoo

I liked watching the Dutch speed skaters and the womens moguls

11:53 am

Jillyjill

tree branches stick out far enought a well is created from snow landing on top of them, then more snow further covering the gap, people ski into them and can't get out, smothering them

11:53 am

rururocks

now curling......

11:53 am

Jillyjill

Watch it ruru...I like curing...

11:53 am

crosshair

power nap time for crossy, need a break from this English paper anyways

11:53 am

11:53 am

rururocks

THere's a REAL Olympic sport :D

11:54 am

Jillyjill

See you later crossy

Crossy, I lost my son to cannabis psychosis when he committed suicide by standing in front of an express train. After over 15 years of mental problems due to cannabis, he took the omly way out that he could see. I know cannabis helps with pain but, beware, the d*** stuff is insidious. Gives with one hand and takes with the other.

noted. It is not for all, nor an answer to all ailments

4:58 pm

uusue2

((((jaxx)))) how awful that must have been for you!!! I cannot imagine losing a child...

4:58 pm

o-o

My condolences, jaxx

4:59 pm

crosshair

i am sorry for your loss jaxx

5:01 pm

Soodle

Jaxx. That is unbearable. Truly unbearable. That you can come on here & share that pain is mind boggling. You are in my thoughts & prayers.

5:02 pm

jaxx7

it was awful at the time but it was 8 years ago and things have eased. Christmas will never be the same again for us. Of 6 young men who suffered from psychosis and who were in the local mental health unit with Tim only one is still alive and he is disabled. the rest committed suicide.

5:02 pm

crosshair

every medicine, natural and pharmaceutical has its dangers. I thank you for sharing this with me , jaxx. things must def be considered carefully

5:04 pm

crosshair

we have entire first nation villages hooked on Oxycontin:(

5:04 pm

jaxx7

The irony was that Tim would never have it that cannabis was to blame for his state of mind and he had it in his bloodstream when he stood in front of that train.

5:05 pm

crosshair

though the formulation has been altered for this medicine it remains to be seen what the outcome will be

5:05 pm

jaxx7

All I ask is that you be aware, Crossy.

5:05 pm

crosshair

((jaxx)) ty for your concern

5:06 pm

MollyL

Sad conversation : (

5:07 pm

jaxx7

I have made it my mission to dissuade youth from taking the stuff. It is not easy when you hear high school teachers telling classes that cannabis should be the drug of choice as it is safe.

5:07 pm

crosshair

i am honored that you have room in your grief to share your thoughts with me, jaxx

5:08 pm

jaxx7

I wouldn't want your family to live through what ours did

5:09 pm

Soodle

Jaxx, forgive me. I'm just unable to imagine the horrors you have been through. My mind just won"t allow me to go there. All I can do is offer my deepest condolences, and as much support that a forum like Babble will allow .

5:10 pm

jaxx7

I manage by living a day at a time and have done since Tim started having problems. If I get to the end of the day in a calm state of mind then.... on to the next

5:11 pm

jaxx7

I think this is enough doom and gloom. Back to Babble

5:11 pm

harpjane

hello 52 to go

5:11 pm

Soodle

Hoe old was Tim when he died?

5:12 pm

jaxx7

just 30

5:14 pm

Soodle

Jax .my heart goes out to you. I pray infrequently, but I will pray for you this evening.

5:15 pm

jaxx7

Thank you. remember my dear husband too who lost his only son and is still grieving

5:17 pm

MollyL

Wow, heavy stuff.

5:17 pm

crosshair

yup. must must be shared from time to time

5:17 pm

crosshair

but must*

5:18 pm

jaxx7

I agree, molly. Time to change the subject I feel.

5:18 pm

crosshair

yup.time for something different. How about some dity limericks?

5:18 pm

crosshair

dirty*

5:18 pm

jaxx7

Ditty or dirty?

5:18 pm

Soodle

Next time anybody on Babble sees me moaning or giving out, feel free to give me a kick up the arse.

5:19 pm

jaxx7

I still love a good moan, Soodle and as a Capricorn I am pessimistic too.

5:20 pm

harpjane

How's your weather soodle?

5:20 pm

crosshair

i am a Taurus and as such i tend to plow all that under and see if it will grow flowers

5:21 pm

MollyL

Anyone have any good puppy stories?

5:22 pm

Soodle

Lol jax. I'm the most untypical Virgo onEarth. Not a hoot do I give about most stuff.:-)

5:22 pm

jaxx7

have you? I only have arescue cat who uses my house as a hotel until something annoys her. Then she goes to the neighbours down the road.

5:23 pm

Soodle

Hiya Harp. Weather here not too bad. No snow no frost or ice. Just murky.

5:24 pm

jaxx7

The water is beginning to drain away, thank goodness. The Daffodils are out, the birds are colourful and Spring is just around the corner.

5:24 pm

harpjane

My niece had a blast on the west coast during that storm a few weeks ago. She grew up in a land-locked state.

5:25 pm

Soodle

But, theres a definite stretch in the days.. And the daffodils are breaking through. Jees. I LOVEdaffodils

5:26 pm

jaxx7

So do I. A really cheerful flower.

5:27 pm

Soodle

Where was your niece, Harp?

5:28 pm

harpjane

south west coast, sorry i don't know more than that

5:29 pm

jaxx7

In britain, Harp?

5:29 pm

Soodle

Was she here in Ireland?

5:29 pm

MollyL

Cheerful : D

5:30 pm

Soodle

Cos the storms here, on the Atlantic Coast were pretty spectaular....

5:30 pm

harpjane

Ireland, she is at Trinity College for the year.

5:31 pm

jaxx7

They were to exhilarating to begin with but went on too long

5:31 pm

jaxx7

so even

5:32 pm

Soodle

Ooh Good for her. Trinity is a very prestigious college.

5:32 pm

Soodle

Where in the world are you, Jax?

5:34 pm

Soodle

Harp, have you ever thought of visiting?

5:34 pm

jaxx7

On the South Coast of England in a small seaside town called Teignmouth (pronounced Tinmuth) in between Plymouth and Exeter in Devon.

5:34 pm

harpjane

I'm hoping to come this summer, either August or September.

5:35 pm

harpjane

There's a Brian Boru Harp festival in Limerick and/or a bicycle ride at Giant's Causeway. We're trying to decide which we want to do.

5:36 pm

Soodle

Woo-hoo!!!!!! Another Babbler is coming in May!

5:36 pm

harpjane

I think we should go the the harp festival and then do the ride on our own, without group support.

5:37 pm

Soodle

Harp. I grew up in Clontarf. Scene of Brian Boru's defeat!

5:39 pm

Soodle

2014 is going to be the year of the Irish Babble meets!

5:40 pm

harpjane

2 left

5:41 pm

harpjane

wow, soodle, I'll be sure to go there. Are you aware of any millenial BB activities?

5:43 pm

Soodle

Not off the top of my head, Harp, but, if i knew you were coming I could suss things out.

5:43 pm

jaxx7

Thanks for listening everyone. I am off to my bed. I did the ironing today and I let it build up (I hate ironing) so I am tired. Night.

5:45 pm

Soodle

The Battle of Clontarf was in 1014. There will be loads of stuff commemorating the event!

5:47 pm

Soodle

Jax. It was a privilege chatting to you this evening. I look forward to chatting again. X

5:47 pm

crosshair

gn jaxx and ty

5:49 pm

harpjane

That's why the harp festival is happening. There's going to be an attempt to set a world record for number of harps in a parade (playing Brian Boru's March!)

5:52 pm

Soodle

Oh my! Penny slowly dropping.,, you play the harp, Jane?

6:02 pm

harpjane

uh, yes.

6:02 pm

harpjane
