1:30 am

VolleymomDee

not my regular doc, but had a gyn appt and dr reviewed what I should be doing. I think I had pneumonia, but antibiotics helped... now I think it might be a residual asthma. If not better next week, I'll try to get an appt with my regular doc.

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

He said my chest was "rattly"... well, duh LOL

1:32 am

2:17 am

grannyrose

yuch, diz.

2:18 am

grannyrose

welcome back, dear. nice to know you are safe.

2:18 am

puglet

are you feeling better today Rose?

2:21 am

grannyrose

yes, than, pugs. i didn't take a strong pain med until just now. it's not really the knee, more my shin and ankle. it's all related.

2:22 am

puglet

maybe the week end will help you to feel better

2:22 am

grannyrose

pugs, have emailed you. when you are ready, could you please answer. and forgot to ask if what i sent you in my emails helped any.

2:23 am

grannyrose

i'm sort of counting on the 'down' time, pugs. i was nearly in tears in the pool on friday.

2:23 am

puglet

Yes, Rose it did and okay, will check it here in a bit, unless you want me to now

2:23 am

puglet

do you think you are trying too much too soon

2:24 am

grannyrose

no, no, later is fine. even tomorrow is good. :-)

2:24 am

puglet

okay then

2:25 am

grannyrose

i am working with the floatie around my ankle. that makes everything that little more harder to do. also, working in chin deep water...now that's an interesting experience.

2:26 am

puglet

does it seem the water is helping--dont sound like it is too much to me but making you hurt more

2:26 am

grannyrose

and even in the shallow end, when i lie back and pedal my legs, all of me wants to go to the surface of the water. so i am using all my muscles to achieve one simple exercise. not just my legs, but arms, shoulders, tummy..

2:27 am

puglet

so is that making you sore all over then

2:27 am

grannyrose

pugs, it is the whole idea, that i have to work harder, otherwise i cannot build up my tolerance.

2:28 am

grannyrose

*sigh* yes, exactly.

2:29 am

grannyrose

it was nice though, when i looked in the mirror at home, and realised my tummy was flatter, and my derriere was a little smaller.

2:29 am

puglet

I guess its like they say" no pain no gain" it cant be easy for you I know

2:30 am

puglet

that would make you feel like something good is coming from all the pain then-lol

2:30 am

grannyrose

i am dreading when physio finishes, and i have to go to the gym. those fit 20-somethings have no idea of what it is like to live with fibromyalgia. it's no use explaining,, exercise hurts and hurts, and no thank-you, i don't want you to massage it.

2:32 am

puglet

when is this to take place? Better buy up several tubes of ben-gay--lol

2:33 am

puglet

or do you have ben-gay over there

2:36 am

puglet

brb

2:36 am

grannyrose

hmmm, haven't heard of it. i use an australian product called pain away arthritis cream. it's main ingredient is arnica which is great for muscle soreness. and yes, i do ues it.

2:37 am

grannyrose

*sigh* coffee time...okay, love, catch you later

2:38 am

puglet

you leaving Rose

2:42 am

grannyrose

nah, hun. popping backwards and forwards between sites.

2:43 am

puglet

I just didnt want to miss biding you bye if you were--lol

2:44 am

grannyrose

don just googled ben-gay. we can get it on-line. and the site has my magnesium tablets at 3 times the price i pay from the USofA

2:45 am

puglet

do you order most of your meds online

2:46 am

grannyrose

i thought you were leaving for your coffee. two of my natural meds i do. they aren't available in australia.

2:47 am

puglet

I already got it---the water was already hot so I didnt have to wait long

2:49 am

puglet

I got all my paper work done for goverment health care and sent off so now its just a matter of waiting on them

2:50 am

grannyrose

oh, yay, you, pugs. well done. i am proud of you. it is so worth it. i hope so, anyway.

2:52 am

puglet

I hope so too--lol---I had to go to the jailhouse for release papers on him, why that has anything to do with me, I dont know

2:53 am

puglet

so now its just waiting for the goverment and then the clinic

2:56 am

grannyrose

i hope it doesn't make you personally responsible for him, pugs.

2:57 am

puglet

I never thought of that--:( but why would it? Ive never been in trouble with the law

2:57 am

grannyrose

please read them carefully. darn, dinner ready. will check in later to see if you are here. if not, i hope you have a great day.

2:58 am

puglet

I will be here for awhile yet--enjoy and hope to see your return --if not good night--love and hugs

6:10 am

puglet

how is everyone

6:10 am

Trifioso

that's what so great about babble, isn't it puglet? the delight when one signs on and finds a blog full of friends

6:11 am

sprite

you are getting all the winter we didn't get this year, Trif. We haven't had snow or ice or even much frost at night.

6:11 am

puglet

Iam very much better and thanks for the advice

6:11 am

sprite

so true, Trif

6:11 am

Trifioso

and you felt compelled to tell me this WHY sprite?

6:12 am

puglet

it is Tri---I had to go do a few things and came to check in and hit the jackpot--lol

6:12 am

sprite

errrr... shared misery? I would have preferred a stretch of frost and ice and clear skies over the endless, endless cold rain?

6:12 am

Trifioso

understood. if it helps, remember what I always tell my kids - you don't have to shovel rain

6:13 am

puglet

well Sprite, you might not say that with this endless snow and cold temps

6:13 am

Trifioso

big news sprite - valentine is FINALLY moving out of the disgusting rooming house he has been living in, and into a fabulous apartment. I'm SO EXCITED

6:14 am

puglet

thats good Tri

6:14 am

sprite

that is true, Trif. And pug. It could be worse. Still... it is gonna be a helluva summer here with all the bugs. Usually a lot of the mosquitos and wasps and the works are frozen to death. This year... we will get the whole enchilada.

6:14 am

Trifioso

its so great. everyone at the last place smoked - hated going there. It was like an opium den

6:14 am

sprite

oh wowwwwww Trif! That is so awesome! Congratulations!

6:15 am

Trifioso

6:18 am

Trifioso

I guess hot snow is in our future

6:18 am

puglet

even those in la-la land--lol

6:19 am

sprite

hot snow, huh. I guess warm water raining down will be the next thing.

6:19 am

puglet

yeah those temps were short lived, today in the 30's and to stay cold for most of the week and snow showers the first of the week

6:20 am

sprite

brrrrr at snow showers. Have to draw a line somewhere. Refuse to take snow showers :D

6:21 am

puglet

why Sprite? That would perk you up LOL

6:21 am

crosshair

had an interesting apt with the doctor yesterday. was there to check up on some tests the mrs had done. they are so good with the blood work now they can say that my beloved WILL have diabetes within 5 years if she does not change her diet/ weight/ lifestyle. Blood numbers can tell them everything it seems.

6:21 am

sprite

would put me into the danger zone of being perked up, lol

6:22 am

sprite

oh dear, crossy :( Not easy for her. But great to have such early warnings.

6:22 am

puglet

well she has time to change Crossy---thats a plus

6:22 am

crosshair

I love that they can give early warnings now.

6:22 am

sprite

snap :)

6:22 am

puglet

have you gotten to rest up Sprite--and you feeling better

6:23 am

crosshair

seems her cut off is 25 grams of sugars per day or just a tad over 6 teaspoons in all her food and drink per day

6:23 am

sprite

I am feeling good, pug, am so happy with last week. But the body is protesting... second day after overtaxing is always the worst one. tomorrow things will be better.

6:23 am

puglet

alot of sugar comes from starches too

6:24 am

puglet

did you and Bridg have a nice outing

6:24 am

sprite

as pug says, please look into the hidden sugars. Lots and lots of those.

6:25 am

crosshair

will do

6:25 am

periwinkle

I saw in early chat that there is a un8/9 and as9 but I do not see them, help pls.

6:25 am

crosshair

why are you overtaxed, sprite? what did you do yesterday?

6:25 am

periwinkle

will be going for a walk in a bit. supposed to go up to 65 but still in the 40's at the moment

6:25 am

puglet

Hi peri--are you doing better

6:25 am

sprite

enjoy your walk, peri!

6:26 am

periwinkle

yes

6:26 am

sprite

I clued it for you earlier, peri, the un8/9

6:26 am

periwinkle

sorry, sprite, I missed, bathroom break :)

6:27 am

sprite

crossy: I went to a reunion combined with supervision and intervision of my old coaching training. It was inspirational and fun and like a warm bath.

6:27 am

zoozzoom

UN9 what you put beneath carpets.

6:27 am

puglet

Crossy, what about your neck--did you get anything done for that yet

6:27 am

periwinkle

would you pls clue it again, sprite

6:27 am

sprite

lol peri, np. Not above + I *** me down to sleep, plural.

6:27 am

puglet

HEY ZOOM, howdy

6:27 am

sprite

hi zooz! *hugs*

6:28 am

zoozzoom

Bonjour Babblers :-)

6:28 am

periwinkle

ty sprite and zooz. new word for me

6:28 am

sprite

yvw peri

6:28 am

periwinkle

does anyone have the as9

6:29 am

sprite

sorry, no

6:29 am

zoozzoom

I do not have the AS9 yet.

6:29 am

crosshair

asked the dr about that as well, since I have heard no word from specialist in the city. Seems they have a terrible backlog and I am not even near to being placed on the list yet. However, he has heard of a second specialist in another medical centre down there who is currently taking patients, so he will try to refer me there.

6:29 am

sprite

ok crossy, will keep my fingers crossed for you.

6:30 am

puglet

I hope you can get in...you been waiting for along time already

6:30 am

crosshair

until then, I must be very careful as my neck was creaking and cracking horribly yesterday and when it cracks , it is quite painfull. I must baby it

6:31 am

puglet

can you wear a brace on it

6:31 am

sprite

please do baby it, crossy.

6:31 am

zoozzoom

Gosh that does not sound very nice, Crossy.

6:31 am

puglet

I bet the cold weather dont help either

6:32 am

puglet

hows things with you Zoom

6:32 am

crosshair

I could, but I do not think it has come to a brace yet. a brace is good and bad, yes I get support , but bad because all the muscles start to weaken

6:33 am

sprite

yes, if a brace is necessary, you shouldn't wear it all the time.

6:33 am

zoozzoom

That with your apnea..i am surprised you can stay positive and learn at school..Good going!

6:33 am

sprite

our crossy is a hero

6:33 am

zoozzoom

I am well thanks, Puglet, hope you too are doing well?

6:34 am

puglet

just stop turning to look at all them coeds--lol

6:34 am

crosshair

funny thing is my apnea seems to have eased. odd, but true

6:34 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:34 am

puglet

Iam doing okay, thanks Zoom

6:35 am

crosshair

lol, I sit with my back to the wall so they can parade past in front of me:)

6:35 am

zoozzoom

Are you close to exam time yet, Crossy?

6:35 am

crosshair

exam is this Monday. I am so looking forward to it! :))

6:35 am

zoozzoom

I have gone back to classes to learn maths..not doing too well..lol

6:35 am

sprite

oh wow, nice going zooz!

6:36 am

puglet

awsome Zoom

6:36 am

zoozzoom

Oh i have every faith you will pass, Crossy, you seem to be a natural learner from the posts i have seen in the chog :-)

6:36 am

crosshair

it is a good thing, zooz. I wish I had done this decades ago

6:36 am

puglet

will cross fingers Crossy you come away with A+'s

6:37 am

crosshair

you will love going back for classes, zooz

6:37 am

sprite

just doing something with the old brain is great in itself, zooz. It will get easier down the road.

6:37 am

zoozzoom

How are you, Spritey?

6:38 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is to aid me in my job search..but i am not keen on maths...afraid to say i am not very good at it..and find it very boring..just not me..lol

6:39 am

sprite

I am fine! Had a grand time at my 'old' coaching school last week. Part reunion, part supervision, part intervision, part new information. Loved it so much.

6:39 am

crosshair

lol, I love spring. Environment Canada and the local weather service has just issued a heavy snowfall warning. Seems were are to get about 8 inches in a fast 4 hour time frame today

6:40 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like it was good all round then..glad you enjoyed it.

6:40 am

zoozzoom

Does not sund very nce, Crossy :-(

6:41 am

sprite

that spells winter in my book, not spring, lol

6:41 am

crosshair

zooz, I do not know your age, but they teach very differently from what you may remember and it is all to the good. before going back last September, my last experience in classes was in 1980!!. If I can pull a 91% in math, I am sure you will do fine

6:43 am

zoozzoom

I am 50 now..but no..i just can not seem to concentrate on something i just have no interest in...I know maths is very important in life..but i just find it so dull..but i am giving it my best shot...always in awe of people who can calculate large sums in their heads in seconds..lol

6:44 am

crosshair

i am 50 this may:)

6:44 am

zoozzoom

Will you be holding a party?

6:45 am

sprite

ok... my last word is that as9 that peri asked for earlier. Could I please get a clue?

6:45 am

crosshair

it did not hurt that my math teacher was a young thing of 30 and very easy on the eyes;) i know..crossy is a pig.

6:46 am

crosshair

i will be having a grand party. you are invited zooz

6:46 am

puglet

congrads Sprite

6:46 am

zoozzoom

teehee, Crossy!

6:47 am

6:47 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, Sprite, I still do not havethat one either.

6:47 am

o-o

as + way down *o***r in the papaw patch + a un 4 of weight

6:47 am

crosshair

the big 5-0 mid-life crisis time. I already did the vehicle. tearing around in my new jeep. Asked my beloved if i could trade her in for two 25 year olds and she said no, so both those bases are covered

6:48 am

puglet

morning OO

6:48 am

o-o

Hello, pugs

6:48 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:48 am

Kateq

it means leaving out contractions-- it ends in *****ate a bomb --explode it

6:48 am

sprite

thanks, o-o and Kateq. That is one of the weirdest word I have ever seen in babble.

6:49 am

zoozzoom

Thank you, o-o & Kateq!

6:49 am

puglet

thanks OO

6:49 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Sprite!

6:50 am

6:51 am

zoozzoom

Have a grand day, Sprite :-)

6:51 am

puglet

same to you friend--rest well

6:55 am

zoozzoom

i am sure you would not trade your wife in for any other lady, Crossy :-)

6:56 am

rubyfoo

jumping in and hello everybody

6:56 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby :-)

6:56 am

puglet

Hi Ruby, hugs

6:57 am

rubyfoo

we finally got the UK's rain but actually need it; the gharden was parched

6:57 am

rubyfoo

6:57 am

crosshair

((ruby))

6:58 am

zoozzoom

Glad to want it, Ruby...I will instruct the rain to stay there then..lol

6:58 am

zoozzoom

you not to

6:58 am

rubyfoo

I've actually had to water the garden twice this past week

6:59 am

bichon

Water the garden? We still have melting snow!

6:59 am

crosshair

and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!!

6:59 am

crosshair

0.3% of all road accidents in Canada involve a Moose.

6:59 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Bichon :-)

6:59 am

rubyfoo

7:00 am

puglet

Hi bichon

7:00 am

zoozzoom

Wonders how much 0.3% equates to?

7:01 am

bichon

hi yous guys

7:02 am

crosshair

at 30 million people i think that is 900,000 per year

7:03 am

crosshair

if all 30 mil of us drive that is

7:03 am

zoozzoom

wow then that is a lot..gosh.

7:03 am

crosshair

some of our eastern provinces have more moose than people almost

7:04 am

puglet

are you in on that number Crossy

7:04 am

crosshair

no, but i have hit many deer in the past. It is not fun at all.

7:05 am

zoozzoom

Sounds cruel but do you take the deer home and have it for meals?

7:05 am

crosshair

a deer is 150-300 ponds, a moose however, can be 1000,-1500 pounds and up.

7:06 am

crosshair

no, deer killed by impact, get bruising of the meat and it spoils it

7:06 am

crosshair

some do, but i do not

7:06 am

zoozzoom

We have a strange law here in the UK. you are allowed to take road kill home if some-one else kills the animal..but you are not allowed to take it home if you kill the road kil yourself.

7:06 am

puglet

I would guess it would put a mild dent in the car--lol

7:07 am

crosshair

i have found that it is not worth it. we just call the game wardens and they are removed, along with whatever is left of our cars

7:07 am

zoozzoom

A mild dent..lol...yeah right :-)

7:07 am

puglet

thats very odd Zoom

7:07 am

rubyfoo

go prove it, zzoozz! lol

7:07 am

rubyfoo

eer through the windshield are no joke and a moose1!!!!

7:08 am

crosshair

hitting a moose can be a death sentence. it is a very different and very dangerous thing

7:08 am

zoozzoom

LOL..good point , Ruby :-)

7:08 am

puglet

I bet crossy...they are so tall and heavy

7:09 am

crosshair

and ruby is correct, with the height of the moose, the body tends to want to crush the cab and come right through the windshield of the vehicle

7:09 am

zoozzoom

Oh i agree, Crossy, for the most part...here it would nothing much over the size of a fox..unless you live much further north, Scotland say.

7:10 am

crosshair

now, how many times have i told you, zooz, you cannot go around hunting Scots!

7:10 am

zoozzoom

Teehee, you are bad..lol

7:11 am

crosshair

crossy is terrible:)

7:11 am

zoozzoom

But funny..which is nice :-)

7:12 am

zoozzoom

OK i need to go and do some errands...nice talking to you all. Will be back much later in the day...byee!

7:13 am

puglet

bye Zoom

7:13 am

crosshair

tc Zooz

7:15 am

rubyfoo

7:17 am

crosshair

back in 10 min.. semi-poink!

7:18 am

puglet

how are things with you Ruby

7:18 am

rubyfoo

dh is horrible but other wise, i'm feeling better

7:18 am

rubyfoo

I don't think he can help it, being nasty, but it's still very unpleasant

7:19 am

puglet

I know all to well what you mean----how your Lady, she still doing good on the walks

7:20 am

rubyfoo

she is an angel-dog but today it's raining too hard to walk them' they can go in the garden whenever. It is warm enough to have the door open

7:20 am

puglet

It was real nice here yesterday and I took Beulah and Annapooh walking along the river

7:22 am

rubyfoo

you can walk both of them together??? If I tried that with mine, I would be dragged to my death

7:22 am

puglet

Of course they had to get into the river--lol and then they found some kind of dead animal hide and had to roll all over it so today will be bath time--lol

7:22 am

puglet

I dont have to leash them there

7:23 am

rubyfoo

aah. Raffie smells like she was rolling in dead fish, but I think it's because she drinks from the fishpond and then dribbles down her front

7:23 am

puglet

but I have walked them both and its not too bad--the pug is the worse for she wants to go side to side--Beulah is a real dream to walk

7:24 am

rubyfoo

Raffie goes in a pretty straight line but, although she isn't running, she walks a little bit faster than is comfortable for me. I have to get used to it as it's probanbly good for me

7:24 am

puglet

Is Raffie a french name

7:25 am

rubyfoo

Her real name is Rafaella and she comes from Spain. Rufie is really Ruffino and he was born in Italy. But they are all of them (all 7 of our chows) related by blood to the Mi_Pao kennel in Ontario

7:26 am

puglet

oh, thats cool

7:28 am

MollyL

You gotta really love a dog if you will cuddle with it when it smells like dead fish : O

7:28 am

puglet

I hate to leave you alone Ruby, I need to get busy doing some things- Hope the day gets better for you and please tell Crossy bye if he comes back--hugs

7:28 am

rubyfoo

greater love has no man.....

7:29 am

rubyfoo

Molly, I need to send you an e-mail with questions about Alzheimer's. Would you pls send me an e-mail as I don't want to burden the chog

7:30 am

rubyfoo

when they are really stinky, I wrap them in a towel first, then cuddle

7:33 am

bichon

I use a "Gentle Leader" and that makes it easy to walk two dogs

7:34 am

rubyfoo

do you think that would work with (total)135 lbs or so of dog when I weigh about 100?

7:35 am

bichon

Well, that's hard, but it might work. You control the dog by pulling on the leash and the face points to you

7:35 am

rubyfoo

when you come and visit, you can try it.....lol

7:37 am

periwinkle

someone here recommended a book for four year old boys about a king but I do not remember the name. help pls. I have birthdays coming up.

doesnt matter what she writes, people love her lol

8:07 am

Not guessing, read the same article.

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Many popular writers stick to the same formulaic plots.

8:08 am

ivesy3

yes they do.. after awhile it gets boring. for me anyway.

8:09 am

8:12 am

I found the article, Crossy.

8:12 am

crosshair

lol.

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Some popular books are terribly written.

8:13 am

crosshair

oh well. think i will just stick to tidbit(with proper citations for those who demand it)

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Books are like art and music--you like what you like.

8:14 am

crosshair

Arthur Hailey was bad for that. His books were good, yes, but he had an exact formula that he never strayed from and you could see it in almost all of his books

8:15 am

crosshair

Airport, Hotel, Wheels. etc. they all followed the same guideline

8:15 am

MollyL

Musicians can fall into the same trap. REM comes to mind.

8:18 am

crosshair

i tend to avoid pharmacy 'flavor of the month" books for just that reason, scrabby

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and I decided to not read Dan Brown's latest, Inferno, for that reason.

8:19 am

crosshair

if they are yammering about it on the morning talk shows, i run the other way

8:20 am

Scrabbler

That's why I decided to not join the local book club. The suggestions for the following year were all popular books, "light" stuff. Not the right club for me.

8:20 am

crosshair

not that i see talk shows any longer. best thing i ever did was get rid of cable tv programming

8:21 am

crosshair

agreed scrabby. book clubs tend to fall into that rut

8:21 am

hello

8:22 am

Well, people have their preferences so we don't all like the same books, or art, or music. "To each his own."

hi flos

9:31 am

flosey

hi kj

9:31 am

flosey

crossy, are you into Spring yet?

9:32 am

crosshair

second official day of spring and we have a heavy snow fall warning issued with 8-10 inches expected today

9:33 am

flosey

ah, heck - but guess the skiers will be out in force to grab a few runs before things close up ?

9:35 am

flosey

we had one snowfall a few weeks ago - did a fair bit of damage - trees down over hydro wires mainly - but closed a few roads, etc - and power outages

9:37 am

flosey

it was gone in a few days

9:37 am

crosshair

the skiers will ski until the centre of the runs are bare and they are churning up grass and mud with every run ;)

9:37 am

crosshair

we still have lots of ground cover

9:38 am

flosey

hate to think of what that does to the skis

9:39 am

flosey

and how are you and Mrs. keeping?

9:40 am

crosshair

we are doing well, flosey, and you?

9:41 am

crosshair

skiers, as a rule, have money to burn. I do not think they care if they grind the skis up a bit getting in that last run.

9:41 am

flosey

doing well, thanks

9:42 am

kje

This little train, painted black
It comes chugging down the track
With a â€œChoo-choo; Toot-tootâ€
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.

This little car painted blue
It has seats for me and you
With a â€œChoo-choo; Toot-tootâ€
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.

This little car painted yellow
It shimmies and shakes like a bowl of jello
With a â€œChoo-choo; Toot-tootâ€
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.

This little car, painted green
Itâ€™s the fanciest car youâ€™ve seen,
With a â€œChoo-choo; Toot-tootâ€
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.

This little car; it is grey
It takes you places far away
With a â€œChoo-choo; Toot-tootâ€
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.

This caboose; it is red
It will take you home to bed
With a â€œChoo-choo; Toot-tootâ€
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.

My new phones can block numbers. Loving it.

3:33 pm

MollyL

Call block is a beautiful thing.

3:33 pm

Jillyjill

Wish our house phone had an ignore feature like my cell

3:33 pm

hego

oh, yes, Molly!

3:34 pm

MollyL

Ignore feature on house phone = don't answer and let it go to voice mail : D

3:35 pm

Jillyjill

5 rings is too much...LOL

3:35 pm

hego

But call block is the best.

3:35 pm

MollyL

Reset the ring amount.

3:35 pm

bichon

Our house phone always goes to voice mail. Then we get an email as to who it is. Mostly it's sales calls

3:36 pm

bichon

Everyone knows to call on our cells

3:36 pm

MollyL

Mine too Bich, I never answer the land line.

3:36 pm

Jillyjill

My problem is caller ID comes up with private number, which is often sales calls, but also comes up when BIL calls from Canada

3:36 pm

bichon

It's part of our UVerse package

3:38 pm

crosshair

Crossy loves call block. You get one chance under unknown name/unknown number, and if you try to give me a survey ro sell me something, it is a polite goody-bye and to call block you go.

3:38 pm

crosshair

or

3:39 pm

hego

right!

3:42 pm

MollyL

All my land line calls go straight to voice mail. If it's someone I want to talk to, they will leave a message and I will call them back. I am on the phone enough at work.

3:43 pm

crosshair

my land line is being sent back. it is so little used, I can no longer justify the expense.

3:43 pm

hego

I will answer if I am sure who it is, family, etc If not to voice mail.

Hello all. I am learning the intricacies of putting music onto ITunes, compilments of my younger daughter. There is much eye rolling & under the breath muttering, but I think I have the hang of if now. I need about a month off work to devote to putting fave music onto my iphone.

5:02 pm

Soodle

Kje, I envy you. But, now I have about 200 songs.... sad ones, happy ones, ballad ones, ones for every occasion. Delighted with myself.

lilliann

My dad's favourite flowers are daisies..but the bigger ones, but i can't think of the proper name for them.i had them in a garden years ago but i hadn't planted them and he said then that they were his favourite flower and for a man's man to admit that, put him higher in my estimation, than he already was!

6:17 pm

lil*monkey

6:17 pm

MollyL

Oh my, I think of all the classic blues men and that is the one you were thinking of.

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

you can say it, it's not a useable word

6:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No. Mayall. No prizes.

6:18 pm

Jillyjill

but down to 44....must start dinner. Happy Babbling all and bbl! My favorite author ma4/7 and first part of 80's band mo6/27 are in da grid!

6:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

John Mayall's Blues Band?

6:20 pm

MollyL

I think BB King would balk at "Your Body Is A Wonderland" being a "blues" song : D

6:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't care. John Mayall is in the grid.

6:23 pm

lilliann

I did 10 minutes without chatting!! Yay:) hi Jax, i'll have to look, all i know is that they were big daisies, i think they may be called Bella..something

6:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Took my cats to the vet today for the first time.

6:25 pm

jaxx7

The only bella.. I can think of is Belladonna and that is not Daisylike, Lilliann

6:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Felt like a new parent. Sort of.

6:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, but it puts you in the PB, jaxx.

6:26 pm

jaxx7

As long as it is quiet and peaceful in there

6:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

always. With chocolate.

6:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And I'm not in it yet.

6:26 pm

jaxx7

Then i am happy to go.

6:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The PB is a good place.

6:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not like the prisons of America.

6:27 pm

MollyL

*Bets L was looking at the time while she waited for 10*

6:27 pm

jaxx7

Lilliann - Bellis is the latin name for daisies.

6:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

gotta eat.

6:35 pm

lilliann

It is the Marguerite daisy i think Jax

6:35 pm

lilliann

Enjoy Kap

6:36 pm

jaxx7

We have some in our garden and they are lovely

6:36 pm

lilliann

Molly...No i wasn't...much...:)

6:37 pm

MollyL

I want mesembryanthemums to be in a grid some day.

6:38 pm

MollyL

Nope, it's too long, not feasibly possible.

6:38 pm

lilliann

Too long!!

6:38 pm

jaxx7

It would almost fill the grid on its own.

6:39 pm

doseffing

... it's only 17 letters ... it would fit ... but it might be hard to get any more words in the grid

6:39 pm

MollyL

I sometimes wonder who named plants. I mean really.

6:39 pm

lilliann

When i have my back garden done Jax, i may have them

6:40 pm

jaxx7

I think I did very well to spell it at all given that it is 11.40pm here

6:41 pm

lilliann

I think we could make words out of that word...at thye end of the day we are Babblers:)

6:41 pm

jaxx7

They make a nice large plant and the foliage is nice as well.

6:42 pm

MollyL

Oh L, I hope at the end of the day we are more than just people who play Babble, truly I do.

6:42 pm

lilliann

But they spread, and i will only have tubs and walls, and i can't think of the word...two walls with earth in?

6:43 pm

lilliann

I could call myself a few things Molly....:D

6:43 pm

MollyL

Raised beds?

6:44 pm

lilliann

yes..retaining

6:44 pm

jaxx7

if you leave them in the pot, they won't spread that far.

6:45 pm

lilliann

i've never tried them in pots Jax and atleast they'll grow back every year

6:46 pm

jaxx7

It is like mint. That can take over but you plant it in a pot you restrict it to the pot.

6:46 pm

MollyL

And you cut them back

6:46 pm

lilliann

I want to still grow my veg and fruit in pots, so i've got to think about what i'll grow and in my back garden it is sunny all the time

6:48 pm

MollyL

What fruit can you grow in pots?

6:48 pm

lilliann

But i'll still have tubs in the front garden, but i don't want too many as i've still got to be able to llok after them and as i'm not always able too, my plants suffer with hubby being away and the bairn doesn't like gardening and i don't like to force her on it

6:49 pm

jaxx7

Self watering tubs and water retaining granules, Lilli

6:49 pm

lilliann

i have an apple tree, plum, cherry, blueberries, raspberries, tomatoes, strawberries

6:49 pm

lilliann

They are all in pots

6:50 pm

jaxx7

Try espaliers

6:50 pm

MollyL

You have trees in pots? How big are the trees?

6:50 pm

lilliann

it's not the self watering thing jax, it's the weeding

6:51 pm

jaxx7

Mulch them

6:51 pm

lilliann

They are little trees...5ft now i think but grow fruit every year.i can put them into the ground if i want...i might well do when my back garden is done

6:51 pm

jaxx7

bark chippings or black plastic

6:51 pm

lilliann

I've done that in the past but weeds still grow

6:52 pm

lilliann

But, when my back garden is done so i can get to it in my chair i will be able to just potter when i can and blackmail the bairn to help me with pocket money:)

6:53 pm

MollyL

It's too bad that girlie is not of more help to you since your husband is away so much.

6:54 pm

lilliann

She does ironing now Molly which helps...saying that...majority is hers!! :)

6:54 pm

jaxx7

Mulching should reduce the weed growth and pots can be raised off the ground to be easier to reach

6:55 pm

jaxx7

Do you think she would come and do mine? I hate it.

6:55 pm

lilliann

She does hoovering and washing up

6:56 pm

jaxx7

Well, that being the case, I think she does quite a bit. Just make your pots more Lilliann friendly

6:56 pm

MollyL

I love how you all call vacuuming, hoovering. The Hoover people probably love it too. : D

6:56 pm

lilliann

She would do your's and anyone elses if they asked Jax, and be lovely and hard working...it's just me, she not like that for

6:56 pm

jaxx7

is she your grandchild or daughter?

6:57 pm

lilliann

I have to redo the washing up and hoovering she only does twice a week and that is her room and the stairs

6:57 pm

lilliann

My daughter.she's 14 now

6:58 pm

MollyL

Wait, what is the point of her doing it if you have to redo it?

6:58 pm

lilliann

My back garden is being designed on 3 levels with ramps for me jax and there will be raised beds on the outside, and in the middle so i can get around them and plant

6:58 pm

jaxx7

it is those hormones again. I find teenagers can be sweetness and light with people thye are not related to and then show the other side when they relax at home.

6:59 pm

lilliann

I don't redo the hoovering

6:59 pm

lilliann

My husband moans at her for the washing up when he is here too Molly

6:59 pm

smores

hi again :)

7:00 pm

jaxx7

My late son was difficult at home but folk would come up to me and say what a lovely, polite young man he was. Not at home, he wasn't.

7:01 pm

lilliann

At the end of the day she is doing really well at school and i'm a proud mam and i'm also proud when i hear from others how lovely,polite and helpful she is...it just me she's not

7:01 pm

MollyL

Kids her age are capable of a lot more helping out than that L. I'm sorry it's a problem for you, especially when you need it more than most.

7:01 pm

jaxx7

get your husband to do it. mine does.

7:01 pm

lilliann

He works away majority of the year jax...he's away now and i don't know when i'll see him next...which is hard for the bairn

7:02 pm

jaxx7

Mind you, it has taken 44 years to bash him into shape. :)

7:02 pm

jaxx7

and for you.

7:03 pm

lilliann

Aye it is for me too, but the bairn and i muddle through

7:04 pm

lilliann

She will do loads of things for me without asking and then other times it's a battle

7:04 pm

jaxx7

She's a teenager

7:05 pm

lilliann

Being a female doesn't help...Hormones are horrible things!!

7:06 pm

lilliann

When she's 20, we'll probably be best of friends...hopefully, but until then we are too much alike and it will always be a battle

7:07 pm

jaxx7

I bet you and she will be close sooner than that. She can't have a go at her dad as he's not always there

7:07 pm

lilliann

I thought boys were always better than girls Jax?

7:07 pm

jaxx7

Not in my experience

7:08 pm

lilliann

She always sticks up for her dad whether he's here or not...i'm the bad one!!

7:08 pm

MollyL

My boys have always been very helpful. They started doing chores when they were little.

7:08 pm

jaxx7

Boys are more open about being naughty while girls tend to be sneaky

7:09 pm

lilliann

He'll tell her off on the phone and then she's nasty to me after

7:09 pm

jaxx7

What else can she do Lilli

7:10 pm

jaxx7

What are you feeding those boys on, Molly

7:11 pm

lilliann

The bairn was the same when she was little, as that was the way we brought her up to be, but now she's rebelling but i think it's because some of her friends get everything they want for nowt...as in they ask, they get, but we have brought her up, that she has to earn things

7:12 pm

lilliann

Aye, jaxx, she'll always be dad's girl... i must admit i was like that but i had to work for my pocket money and now i'm closer to my mam than my dad as he's a man's man and doesn't quite know how to talk to me now bless him

7:14 pm

jaxx7

Peer pressure can be a bummer. We never had much money and my daughter announced one day that she was deprived as she had never been abroad. We just couldn't afford holidays. Now she has a family of her own she admits she understands so much better that money doesn't grow on trees. They were warm, well fed and had a roof over their head and that should have been enough.

7:14 pm

MollyL

Feeding them on? I don't know, consequences for their actions I guess. If they didn't help out, there were consequences. It was a life lesson.

7:16 pm

jaxx7

I am supposed to be making a birthday card for my B-I-L for tomorrow and now it is tomorrow. I must go and get it done. Night all. Nice to chat and put our worlds to rights. Bye

7:17 pm

Jillyjill

Jus tdid ;0

8:26 pm

crosshair

8:26 pm

8:31 pm

MimiCat

Reading back..you'd be amazed, Jilly, what can be done on both a bike and a car!

8:31 pm

crosshair

first time I have seen it in babble in 5 years, and if another five years go by before I see it again, I shall be happy

8:32 pm

rururocks

nothing worse than a half hump

8:32 pm

MimiCat

....martini talking!

8:32 pm

mkg

the meaning i read had nothing to do with car or bike stuff. was about english usage.

8:32 pm

Jillyjill

<----groans

8:32 pm

MollyL

Yes Mimi, I think she would be amazed : D

8:32 pm

MimiCat

((ruru)) Ain't that the truth!

8:32 pm

Jillyjill

And hello mimicat...LOL on cars and bikes

8:33 pm

crosshair

she was just guiding you there, many of my clues will have no relation whatsoever to what the word actually is. it is a nudge, nothing more

8:33 pm

MollyL

On a bike, sometimes it's a half bump hump

8:33 pm

MimiCat

And, oooh...the gearshift in a car...ouch!

8:34 pm

rururocks

you take things too manually mimi :D

8:34 pm

crosshair

watch out for 6th gear in those sports cars!

8:35 pm

MimiCat

One of my early boyfriends' parents had one of the first Mustangs...bucket seats, gearshift, small back seat= involuntary birth control!

8:35 pm

MollyL

Congratulations to anyone who can half hump in a sports car...contortionists

8:35 pm

8:36 pm

MimiCat

Don't even get me started on skylights, crossy! So many possibilities....

8:36 pm

rururocks

or she was good at ramblers...

8:36 pm

MimiCat

So, it was a clown car, crossy?

8:37 pm

MimiCat

Loved the ramblers, ruru...back seat folds down...

8:37 pm

crosshair

lol, I was the clown,was jammed in the passanger seat with 3 people on top[ of me

8:37 pm

MollyL

People...people...skylights = houses...sunroofs = cars

8:37 pm

rururocks

8:39 pm

crosshair

i must read your book mimi!

8:39 pm

MollyL

If anyone can manage to have trouble with the skylights while half humping, more power to you. Yowza!

8:39 pm

lilliann

Aye, course it is...we're still all waiting for your book and then you can make that excuse!! :D

8:39 pm

MimiCat

It will curl your hair, crossy...everywhere.

8:40 pm

lilliann

LOL

8:40 pm

MimiCat

OK--I'm getting totally out of control. Best leave before I embarrass myself (or is it too late?) Hugs to all...need dinner..

8:40 pm

crosshair

it better, i want to have to break out all the volumes of the kama sutra for parts i do not understand

8:41 pm

MimiCat

I'll give you my notes, crossy....

8:41 pm

crosshair

tc ((mimi))

8:41 pm

lilliann

Mimi probably wrote it:)

8:41 pm

crosshair

mm, wonders how she kept notes with all that going on?...

8:41 pm

lilliann

Or starred in it:)

8:41 pm

MimiCat

ROFL, lilliann!

8:42 pm

lilliann

Sorry

8:42 pm

MimiCat

That's actually closer to the truth than I want to admit...but the book will tell ALL.

8:42 pm

MimiCat

I'm a multi-tasker, crossy.

8:42 pm

crosshair

must be one of those astronaut pens that write upside down and sideways!

8:43 pm

MollyL

Wow, if Mimi starred in, or wrote The Kama Sutra, she is a lot older than I thought.

8:43 pm

MimiCat

Hysterical, crossy!

8:43 pm

rururocks

the skylights are where the legs go molly :D

8:44 pm

MimiCat

ruru, were we ever in a car together? That's absolutely right!

8:44 pm

MollyL

Well, I have long legs, but I have yet to put them through a skylight. Something to aim for.

8:44 pm

lilliann

You really need to finish this book Mimi.If i ever win the Lottery which is highly unlikely i will fund you so you can finish it

8:44 pm

MimiCat

Older than I want to admit to, Molly.

8:44 pm

crosshair

we had a skylight in our motor home. there ya go.

8:44 pm

lilliann

My legs just about reach the dash board and that's wishful thinking!!

8:45 pm

MimiCat

OK, crossy...so you need a table to get those legs out the skylight.

8:45 pm

MimiCat

...preferably with bacon on it...

8:45 pm

lilliann

And i wasn't talking about driving....

8:45 pm

crosshair

mmm,bacon

8:46 pm

MollyL

I'm glad you don't drive with your feet on the dashboard L

8:46 pm

Hi Liz :)

10:16 pm

Minveryork

My lifelong dream finally came true, to attend a B meetup

10:16 pm

Lizlin

I thought you said hi before, lilli!!!

10:17 pm

Lizlin

I'm happy that you were able to do it, Min.

10:17 pm

Jacula

Women are terrible for putting themselves down looks or figurewise. I saw a short film about that once where women were asked to described themselves and then others were asked to describe them. The descriptions were all given to an artist (police one, I think) who then drew them. It was very revealing. I'll find the link, if I can.

10:18 pm

Minveryork

Actually, 1 week ago at th 4/5 time, was playing Scrabble in New Jersey at the meetup. Welki and I won the game.

10:18 pm

Lizlin

I think what you've said is true. I saw something on a TV show, where women had to go and stand near a person that they thought was a similar size to them - there were a group of people of all sizes chosen.

10:19 pm

Minveryork

Actually, welki won it. I was just lucky to be her partner.

10:19 pm

Jacula

It was an FBI artist. Here's the link:

10:22 pm

Jacula

Twister? You must be kidding, lilliann! We'd flood the casualty department. lol

10:23 pm

Jacula

Charades would be fun, ruru.

10:24 pm

rururocks

------ great at charades

10:24 pm

lilliann

no, because we would just lie down on the floor in our comfy positions with a leg crossed here and an arm there:)

10:24 pm

Jacula

But, lil - that's not how you play Twister. lol

10:25 pm

rururocks

10:26 pm

lilliann

10:27 pm

lilliann

Wtg Cos!! :D

10:27 pm

rururocks

:D

10:27 pm

Jacula

Liz - well, the film does show that how we perceive ourselves, for whatever reason, it is not always how others see us.

10:28 pm

Lizlin

That's true - we're very critical of ourselves. I hate being photographed!

10:28 pm

Jacula

Me, too, Lizlin.

10:29 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations cosdem on your fireworks! Hooray for U

10:33 pm

Jacula

ruru - Your icon has brought back happy childhood memories of the shows me and my cousins used to put on for our parent during summer holidays in Wales. I remember one in particular - we were doing the 'before and after using youth-restoring soap' ad from MAD mag. I was the star of that and stood in front of a mirror making one side of my face smooth and the other wrinkly and then going to hid in a wardrobe until my cousins set up the ad and I had to burst out to illustrate it. My uncle laughed so much he nearly choked... and then kept waking my auntie up all that night giggling about it. When I went to visit him in his final days of life many years later in a hospice, one of the last things he said to me was how much he had loved that moment, and he laughed all over again.

10:33 pm

Jacula

Well done on the *~*~*~*. cos!

10:33 pm

Lizlin

What a great memory :)

10:34 pm

Jacula

10:45 pm

Jacula

444-word grid was fun the other day, but it still doesn't beat the 744 one we had.

10:45 pm

Jacula

Une - is that tennis talk?

10:46 pm

Uneaixoise

yep :-)

10:46 pm

Jacula

Thought so. LOL

10:47 pm

Jacula

No clues needed then?

10:47 pm

Uneaixoise

11:03 pm

Jacula

The number of trees set on fire by the storm went un7/36 by the local press because their reporter was too lazy to go and check the area.

11:03 pm

lilliann

I have all the 7's now, ty

11:03 pm

Jacula

So, nothing was said about it and it went un7/36/

11:04 pm

11:05 pm

lilliann

How have you been Jac, long time no see and how is you other half?

11:06 pm

11:07 pm

lilliann

i have that one thanks...we call them the cut here

11:07 pm

Jacula

Lil - I've managed to break a toe and some bones in my right foot, and my Other Half - it'd be easier to tell you via private message on FB. Remind me of your name on there again, please.

11:07 pm

lilliann

11:08 pm

11:12 pm

Jacula

Or even back to Babble business. lol

11:12 pm

lilliann

Sorry to hear about you toe and foot and i hope you are better now

11:13 pm

Jacula

Well, still healing.

11:14 pm

lilliann

I hope it doesn't hurt too much

11:14 pm

Jacula

Have you got di6/55 - the word for the lovely garden flower, the pink?

11:15 pm

Jacula

It only hurts if I bend it the wrong way. So I try not to do that too often.

11:15 pm

lilliann

an6 please...i don't normally ask for many clues but i started this grid gone 9pm and watching telly and chatting as normal :)

11:16 pm

Jacula

an6.18 - the growth on top of a stag's head.

11:16 pm

lilliann

I have problems with my right ankle where i fell badly last year but i didn't go to the hospital...i still have trouble sleeping with it

11:16 pm

lilliann

omg...ty

11:17 pm

Jacula

LOL - it's always the 'should be obvious words' we miss, isn't it? :)

11:17 pm

lilliann

i have the di8

11:18 pm

Bugsaw

hello friends. May I have a clue for the as 7 please?

11:19 pm

maggiej

un 7/36 any hints?

11:19 pm

Jacula

I didn't take my latest break to hospital either, Lil. Waste half a day to be told you've broken this and this. It'll take 8 weeks to heal and take paain killers as and when you need them. I know how to strap up toes if needs be, not possible in this case. It's stopped feeling 'crunchy' now.

11:20 pm

lilliann

Hi Bugs and Maggie...i'll leave it to Jac's as she's a better cluer:0

11:20 pm

Bugsaw

Jac perhaps you should have gone for an Xray if it was crunchy! They have strap on casts now.

11:20 pm

Jacula

Bug - as7 = something split in two, perhaps by the noisy part of a lightning storm (which rhymes with it).

11:21 pm

Minveryork

Hello Bugsaw!How are you doing?Welcome to the chat log

11:21 pm

Bugsaw

if it heals badly, you may have a hard time getting shoes to fit and lots of ladies like their shoes!

11:21 pm

Jacula

Bug - re my foot. Probably should have.

11:21 pm

Bugsaw

hello Minveryork. Which one are you in Dorens picture? I looked earlier and could only recognize jmc

11:21 pm

Bugsaw

ah thanks for the clue Jac. Sounds biblical

11:22 pm

Jacula

maggiej - un7.36 = unreported.

11:23 pm

maggiej

tyvm Jac

11:24 pm

Jacula

y/w, maggiej.

11:24 pm

Jacula

y/w also, Bugsaw.

11:25 pm

lilliann

Jac, is the di6 like the carnation flower?

11:25 pm

Jacula

I'm here for about another 20 mins and then I must go. So, if you need a clue ASK NOW!

11:26 pm

Minveryork

11:32 pm

Jacula

Lill - is that like Black Sabb's 'Snowblind'? Yes, you need a break and to come back with fresh eyes.

11:33 pm

Jacula

Nothing wrong with being little, Min! I'm only little, too.

11:33 pm

lilliann

no, i need to go to sleep but i'm finishing this grid first

11:33 pm

Jacula

Okay, lil. Ask for more clues then...

11:34 pm

lilliann

I can't find the di6, and i plant the bloody things...

11:34 pm

lilliann

excuse French

11:34 pm

lilliann

I knew the di8

11:35 pm

lilliann

I didn't get the end of your clue Jac, sorry

11:35 pm

Jacula

di6 = the meal working class people have in the middle of the day and posh people have at night.

11:37 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I am not so little.Got weighed at the doctor the other day and I did not like what I saw, very surprised!

11:38 pm

Jacula

di8 = di** (popular UK princess minus last letter) + t4/6.

11:43 pm

lilliann

11:44 pm

Jacula

I'll email you Monday probably, Lil, to get in touch again properly.

11:45 pm

Jacula

In the meantime, I'd better get some sleep if I'm to eat a roast dinner for breakfast.

11:45 pm

lilliann

Ok. Look forward to it.Enjoy your carvery:)

11:45 pm

Jacula

Got to get myself psyched up for eating that kind of meal before 8pm!
