12:24 am

jbp

going through the beginning of the chog... who's meeting what needs? ;-)

12:25 am

jesdraggon

ru apparently has a list, jbp

12:25 am

jbp

(fanning myself)

12:26 am

rururocks

ha.. it's a long list too

12:26 am

jbp

no those words were in the grid last night, ruru

12:26 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

12:26 am

jbp

howdy Liz!

12:27 am

blue33bird

hi all.

12:27 am

Lizlin

I read that you got a job - congrats :)

12:27 am

jbp

thanks! funny story that...

12:27 am

Lizlin

I like stories

12:28 am

jesdraggon

not trouble already, jbp?

12:28 am

Lizlin

Hi blue

12:28 am

jbp

I was told to show up at 8 AM. I did. Working for a major gi-normous corporation means that one has to be met by a 'legit' employee and escorted on to the plant, when one starts out.

12:28 am

jbp

(this is my 5th gig with The Man), and something goes awry every time)

12:29 am

jbp

so I show up, and drive over to where I will be working, and my manager says, 'we aren't ready for you. we had no idea you were coming today.'

12:29 am

Lizlin

And ...

12:29 am

Lizlin

Duh! When did they expect you?

12:29 am

jbp

so I ended up soaking up what I could for about an hour and then came home and took a nap.

12:29 am

rururocks

the r's are killing me

12:29 am

jesdraggon

ahaha

12:30 am

jbp

If they don't have me in "the system" I have no ID. And without it, I can do nothing

12:30 am

jbp

at. all.

12:30 am

Lizlin

But that also means you're not being paid, I guess.

12:30 am

jbp

so fast forward to this evening when I checked my email... I will either be called in tomorrow afternoon, or Wed AM to get set up.

12:31 am

Lizlin

Sounds like a well organised place - not!

12:31 am

jbp

true. but what happens is... for the first week to 10 days I won't be able to do anything because it takes _at least_ that long to get access to what I will need, even once I have an ID and computer

12:31 am

VolleymomDee

re 7 x 6

12:32 am

jesdraggon

so they're going to pay you to not do anything?

12:32 am

Lizlin

what job are you supposed to be doing?

12:32 am

jbp

it is like reinventing the wheel EVERY SINGLE TIME. If I weren't expecting it, it would make me nuts.. This today was a new level of clusterf*^%ery, though

12:32 am

jbp

I'm gong to be working as a technical writer.

12:32 am

Lizlin

Which means ????

12:32 am

jbp

they pay me for the first 7-10 workdays before I can _do_ anything every time.

12:33 am

Lizlin

So like being paid for doing nothing. That can't be bad.

12:33 am

jbp

such is the life of a "contract" employee... god(s) forbid that the Behemoth Corporation should actually be organized.

12:33 am

jbp

Yeah, I do tend to get a bit stir crazy.

12:33 am

jbp

In previous gigs, I've used some of the time to read up on what I will be doing once I can be doing it

12:34 am

Lizlin

Well I hope it all works out for you.

12:34 am

jbp

but in this gig, there is NO DOCUMENTATION. Which, on the one hand is good, but on the other hand, it will be interesting to write process documentation/user manuals when I don't know what the processes are.

12:34 am

jbp

I'm just glad to soon have a job. It's been almost 6 months, and ... yeah.

12:34 am

Lizlin

Trial and error!

12:35 am

jbp

I will miss staying up late with the cool kids playing babble though!!

12:35 am

Lizlin

I'll miss seeing you if our times don't coincide!

12:35 am

jesdraggon

well, this kid isn't one of the cool ones, i guess... off to sleep with 76 left for tomorrow

12:35 am

VolleymomDee

de 7 x 3 so far

12:35 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, Jess

12:35 am

jbp

ah, who am I kidding, I will be here for the flip most nights

12:36 am

jbp

be well, Jess!

12:36 am

Lizlin

Glad to hear it!

12:37 am

rururocks

te740

12:37 am

jbp

so that's me in a nutshell... so to speak

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

ty ru looking

12:37 am

Lizlin

Sounds good though, if chaotic.

12:38 am

jbp

I am not feelin' the love from this grid thonight tho

12:38 am

jbp

tonight

12:39 am

Lizlin

haven't felt the love from the last few grids - perhaps I'm tired.

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

12:47 am

jbp

it's a bony thing

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

still missing 2 7's here

12:47 am

jbp

that ends similar to a pain in the butt

12:47 am

Lizlin

thought it probably was - I'll keep on looking :)

12:49 am

jbp

almost halfway, and I should hit the hay... have a good eve/day, all!

12:49 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, jbp

12:49 am

rururocks

finished

12:49 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Ru :)

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

12:51 am

saanichcat

WOW!! ru!!

12:53 am

rururocks

nice grid for a change

12:54 am

Lizlin

Wish I agreed with you.

12:56 am

12:58 am

Lizlin

Good going, Dee.

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

ty, liz

1:05 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

red boxes

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

hi rose

1:06 am

grannyrose

hey ya dee

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

hope you had a good day!

1:06 am

flosey

me too Dee, gone now

1:07 am

flosey

hi there rose, how's it going today

1:07 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose - hope you've had / are having a lovely day :)

1:09 am

grannyrose

thanx all, have had a lovely lazy day here for once.

1:09 am

flosey

good to hear, rose

1:09 am

Lizlin

Hope you've been completely spoiled.

1:10 am

grannyrose

lol....you said it, and we are going out for dinner tonight. our local indian place.

1:10 am

rururocks

Thinks granny needs a good drill Sargent

1:11 am

grannyrose

they have the best butter chicken we have ever had.

1:11 am

Lizlin

Sounds lovely. Miss good Indian food - nothing like what we got in London here.

1:11 am

Lizlin

Wait til you're in England!!!

1:11 am

grannyrose

ruru, that was yesterday...lol

1:11 am

VolleymomDee

I have never tasted Indian food

1:12 am

rururocks

What!!!!

1:12 am

Lizlin

There's good and bad Dee - and many different styles of Indian cooking. My fav is south Indian food.

1:12 am

grannyrose

dee, it is amazing cuisine. if you don't like it too warm, ask them to leave out the chili.

1:12 am

grannyrose

ruru, i was drilled yesterday. * giggle *

1:13 am

rururocks

Oh..not that kind of drill

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

We don't have any restaurants here, and when we are in cities, hubby really likes French, seafood, or steak places, so we never seek Indian. Some day I would like to try it... as long as it isn't heavy with curry.

1:14 am

Lizlin

Like I said - there are many different styles. My local in London used to do a tandoori salmon - yummy!

1:14 am

rururocks

That is kind of like going to a steakhouse and ordering fish deep

1:14 am

grannyrose

dee, it's the spices which give the typical flavour. indian cooking uses more spices than ready mixed curry powders.

1:14 am

rururocks

Dee...

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

I did some reading about curry a few years ago... usually comprised of 7 or 8 spices... very interesting and complex flavor...

1:16 am

rururocks

Doesn't have to be hot either

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

No, I meant we try different restaurants specializing in French cuisine OR steaks OR seafood :)

1:16 am

grannyrose

exactly, dee. and you can ask the chefs to leave out to hotter spices. which definitely makes it more edible, at least for me.

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

good to know

1:17 am

rururocks

*looks at the sheltered life dee..has lived in Indiana* :D

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

lol.. rural IN... Indianapolis has amazing restaurants

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

and Ft. Wayne has a few really good ones.. not sure if they have any Indian ones... I'll have to check that out

1:19 am

rururocks

You'd to there would be Indian restaurants in Indianapolis

1:20 am

rururocks

Think

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

I wonder if our daughter and son-in-law have tried it. The last few years they have been more interested in sushi, tapas, steaks, seafood, and yuppy type bars.

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

1:21 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Dee.

1:21 am

rururocks

Yeah...dee..

1:21 am

grannyrose

WTG DEE!!!!

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

ty... went quickly til the last 22 :)

1:22 am

rururocks

I got stuck in the b's...

1:23 am

Lizlin

Missing one 8 - not sure what, as haven't listed. I have de 8,

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

funny how one letter makes you stumble... I got down to 1 b, but got lost in the t's and some r's

1:24 am

Lizlin

fl 8, re 8 te 8. What am I missing, please?

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

de 8, fl, re x 2, te

1:24 am

Lizlin

re x2 - that'd be it! Sigh!

1:25 am

rururocks

Well now that dee..has finished we can all rest easy

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

re 8/45 and re 8/60... re 8/60 = to do this to flour again, past tense for cooking

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

LOL, ru... too funny

1:26 am

Lizlin

OK - I'll work on the flour one. Thanks.

1:26 am

rururocks

:D

1:26 am

Lizlin

Got it. Thanks. Looking at wrong r!

1:27 am

rururocks

Let us know if you knead a clue liz...

1:27 am

Lizlin

lol!

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

have you been on the road a lot, ru?

1:28 am

rururocks

Tons

1:28 am

grannyrose

or is that tonnes? ruru?

1:29 am

rururocks

This week I don't have to drive too much

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

I'm sure that gets old when you have to do it week after week

1:29 am

puglet

greetings friends

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

Hello ms. Let

1:30 am

puglet

Happy Birthday Rose and Hi Bee,Liz and Ruru

1:31 am

1:31 am

rururocks

Kje..and doren..and kje's..boyfriend

1:32 am

puglet

well special people need to be noticed Rose

1:32 am

Lizlin

Sounds like fun - hope you'll post photos - even if you stay out of them - I remember from Jilli that you don't want to be photographed.

1:32 am

rururocks

Whoa..happy birthday. ..was that a birthday drill?

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

Happy birthday, rose!!!

1:32 am

puglet

so what did you do on it Rose

1:32 am

grannyrose

yup, ruru. it's that time of year again

1:33 am

rururocks

Lol

1:33 am

Lizlin

And Happy Birthday from me too :)

1:33 am

grannyrose

not a lot, pugs. going out for dinner tonight.

1:33 am

puglet

well hope you have a nice time

1:33 am

rururocks

Buttered granny is on the menu

1:34 am

grannyrose

ruru, didn't i tell you? don's middle name is father christmas....because he....

1:34 am

rururocks

And Don doesn't have a margarine of error.:D

1:35 am

grannyrose

i see on the news malasian government has announced that the airplane has definitely crashed.

1:35 am

rururocks

...switching subjects. ..

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

so they found it?

1:35 am

grannyrose

i am in tears here, seeing these distraught families. it's so sad.

1:36 am

Lizlin

But at least they know, now. Little compensation that it is.

1:36 am

grannyrose

dee, a lot of debris, which could only have come from an airplane.

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

I hadn't seen the news yet, I'll be sure to watch.

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

Do they have any idea yet why it crashed?

1:38 am

Lizlin

This morning they were suggesting that the cockpit might have lost oxygen - it's sealed from the rest of the plane but they don't really know.

1:38 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake!! families are asking why the indian ocean wasn't searched before. it wasn't supposed to be over the indian ocean. why would you search it? dee, not until the black box is recovered.

1:38 am

VolleymomDee

I think that is the most disconcerting part to me... the not really knowing what happend.

1:39 am

Lizlin

It's also a huge area! They used some new maths to try to locate a possible flight path.

1:39 am

Lizlin

life

1:39 am

Lizlin

oops! sorry.

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

It is so strange though how satellites track phones and everything else in creation, but it took this long to locate... really seems odd to me.

1:40 am

grannyrose

agreed, dee. these families need closure. like the families of the titanic, they will have to wait, until we have the technology to search the depths of the seas in the ocean.

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

true that

1:40 am

puglet

It does me too Dee, something just dosent add up on this plane

1:40 am

Lizlin

And until the weather improves. They had to call off the search today.

1:41 am

flosey

fw and off to bed, goodnight all, be back at flip

1:41 am

Lizlin

BBL - sleep well Dee. Rose, enjoy the meal and have a great evening. Sleep well Flosey.

1:41 am

grannyrose

it is over 2 miles down in that particular part of the indian ocean.

1:41 am

Lizlin

And congrats

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

gn flosey, sleep well

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

agree, pugs

1:42 am

puglet

Hi and bye and good night Flosey

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

tt, liz! Thanks!

1:42 am

grannyrose

WTG, FLOSEY. i hope you have pleasant dreams and awake refreshed

1:42 am

flosey

thanks all

1:42 am

puglet

its been what 3 weeks since it went missing

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

Hate to think about their last moments. I hope they had no oxygen and were all asleep before the crash.

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

Well, I am off til the morrow. Have a great bday, rose. Have a great eve / day all!

1:43 am

puglet

bye Dee

1:43 am

grannyrose

night, dee. hope your rest tonight is good. and your tomorrow is even better.

1:44 am

grannyrose

pugs, plane has been missing since march 8th.

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

ty, rose!! Hugs to all! *poof*

1:46 am

puglet

thats still quite abit of time to pass, dont you think

1:48 am

grannyrose

pugs, it is. what is worrying is that the black box will only emit it's signal for a guaranteed 2 weeks. once found, it can be recharged to extract the information.

1:49 am

puglet

I dont understand why they didnt send in a sub to search sooner

1:50 am

puglet

Ive been worrying about our UK friends

1:50 am

grannyrose

can't answer that one, pugs.

1:50 am

grannyrose

pugs??? uk friends??

1:50 am

puglet

1:51 am

grannyrose

1:56 am

grannyrose

1:56 am

puglet

1:56 am

grannyrose

1:57 am

puglet

oh, I bet it is Rose

1:57 am

grannyrose

we are going out to an indian restaurant. and it is also my nephew's birthday this week.

1:57 am

puglet

maybe so but they could at least call and wish you a nice b-day

1:59 am

grannyrose

pugs, what you give, is also what you receive. i have been remiss over the last few years. memories are short...especially if they are male...lolol

2:01 am

puglet

be what it is, I hope you have a lovely dinner out with just your guy

2:01 am

grannyrose

2:01 am

2:02 am

puglet

still really sore and painful

2:02 am

grannyrose

2:02 am

puglet

I spent the day with my friend Carol yesterday. We went out for lunch and then went to her house for awhile

2:03 am

grannyrose

2:04 am

puglet

no, not trying, but it was taxing. I really was able to say goodbye in a good way. Got wonderful feedback from the group and the therapists. It was a good day.

3:46 am

sprite

what? Omg that is hurtful. How careless of them :(

3:46 am

puglet

great! now a few days of rest and Iam sure you are going to see new doors opening up for you

3:46 am

sprite

I hope so! Thursday is Family Constellations, am so looking forward to that.

3:47 am

puglet

she acted like it was not a big deal but still it has to hurt some what

3:47 am

sprite

I would think so too

3:48 am

puglet

Ive been praying for you(which I always do) but Iam hoping things fall through for you on the things you are wanting to get into

3:49 am

puglet

I went and spent the day with Carol yesterday. We had a lunch out and then went to her house for awhile. Was really a nice outing

3:50 am

sprite

my darling pug :) That means so much to me. Yes, I really need the Big Man to show me the way. On family constellations day I will ask the psychiatrist again for the address of his trainer. His trainer is gonna start a new training group in Fall... would be so awesome if I could join.

3:50 am

sprite

oh how lovely, pug! Was Carol able to help you with the reader as well?

3:52 am

puglet

That just might be the door you need! I will keep my fingers crossed for you-----her daughter was---they sent me home with a box to hook up to my computer to get wifi---so soon as I can, I will work on it---but the reader worked fine at their home

3:52 am

sprite

ok found the os. Odd one. Related to bone? Must look up the def. It has the robot ending.
Os + the word for lukewarm, change the middle consonant for a vowel.

3:53 am

sprite

awesome! Did you check on that cable as well, for use without wifi?

3:54 am

puglet

its my computer Sprite(or I guess or network one) I dont have wifi

3:55 am

sprite

I hope it is the door I need! That would be perfect. Anyway, I should find a way to get to work with my dream reading skills, my coaching skills and my meditation skills. The problem is I dont' know how to make myself known, how to 'sell' my skills.

3:55 am

jwr

the os is bone-related -- pre-mineralization state as the bone is formed, if I remember my physiology

3:56 am

sprite

hi jwr! Just looked it up and it says 'resembling bone, bone-like'.

3:56 am

puglet

Hi jwr, long time since Ive seen you

3:56 am

sprite

pug, you shouldn't need wifi to use your ereader. There should be a cord that connects the reader to the computer without needing wifi. Just the hardwiring kind of cord.

3:57 am

puglet

maybe they can help you with that knowledge when you go back for the family thing

3:57 am

jwr

hi pug - i'm in and out, don't even have lurking time. My goal is one over half. If I can make that, I git up 'n go. Always nice to see you guys chatting, tho

3:57 am

sprite

yes indeed. Also, did I tell you my own psychiatrist had to give up her practice (or will per Jan 1 2015) because of the insurance companies?

3:57 am

puglet

I plugged it in Sprite, but with out the wifi, it wont let me on the internet-

3:58 am

sprite

pug, darling, you don't need the internet for the ereader.

3:58 am

puglet

well its nice to see you too jwr

3:59 am

puglet

I can download the books with out it

3:59 am

sprite

always nice to see you too, jwr :)

4:00 am

sprite

yes, you can download the books to your computer. And then by connecting the ereader and the computer with the cord, you can drag and drop the files to your ereader.

4:00 am

puglet

well when I tried Sprite, and I plugged into the computer, it does not show up on my folder like you instructed me on you directions

4:00 am

puglet

the reader does not show up on my computer

4:00 am

sprite

that is odd, it should.

4:01 am

puglet

thats why I thought it was due to not having wifi

4:01 am

jwr

delighted. I can't take any more computer talk right now. My beloved LP was dumped for a laptop. My mouse was attached and worked right away. So the person who was setting it all up left (for Amsterdam -- told him to wave your way, Sprite) and didn't disable the touchpad. So the cursor goes bonkers whenever I type anything

4:02 am

jwr

that's XP

4:02 am

sprite

no, the reader and the computer should communicate without wifi, as long as they are connected through a cable.

4:03 am

sprite

that stinks, jwr :( I am still using xp as well... just got a message that it won't be supported anymore.

4:03 am

jwr

traded in for Windows 8.1. Good luck with the reader.

4:03 am

puglet

can you come over and show me--LOL

4:03 am

sprite

oh I wish!!!!! I so wish!

4:03 am

puglet

I have xp too

4:03 am

puglet

thanks jwr

4:03 am

sprite

ok jwr, will debate upgrading to a newer os. Let me know how it goes.

4:04 am

sprite

xp is the best windows there is. Not many bugs and quite dependable.

4:04 am

sprite

and, soooo easy to work with!

4:04 am

jwr

Sprite -- if you are still using XP STOP. It will not be supported after April 8 which means no more security. Anyone could come in and take what they want and leave a worm behind.

4:05 am

jwr

You, too, Pug

4:05 am

puglet

my computer repairman said that they are thinking of extending the xp for alot of the bank machions and all still uses xp

4:05 am

sprite

ah that would be awesome. I so don't need the stress of that kind of change.

4:05 am

jwr

Good luck, then.

4:05 am

Dachef

xp is fine to use as long as you have semi-decent anti-virus software. All this 'xp is insecure' stuff is nonsense.

4:06 am

puglet

I dont do banking or anything like that online so nothing anyone would want off of mine--lol

4:06 am

sprite

hello Dachef! That is what they told me as well. Firewall and antivirus, should be safe enough. Only no new updates anymore

4:06 am

jwr

The other part is the virus coming in, Pug

4:06 am

puglet

Hi Dachef

4:07 am

puglet

will keep an eye out, thanks jwr

4:07 am

sprite

everybody should have antivirus and firewall. No matter which os you are using.

4:07 am

Dachef

the microsoft updates will cease, but as long as your anti-virus updates regularly theres nothing to worry about. XP is still the most user-friendly OS out there.

4:08 am

jwr

Not at all nonsense, Dachef, but I won't argue it. The "updates" contain security that you can't get elsewhere. That's it. I'm gone. poof

4:08 am

sprite

amen to that, Dachef. Thanks.

4:08 am

puglet

I know Ive had the best of luck with xp

4:08 am

sprite

bye jwr! Have a good day.

4:09 am

puglet

bye jwr

4:09 am

sprite

yes, the updates fix holes in the security of the os, that is true. But a good antivirus program that also detects worms and such will work.

4:11 am

puglet

what does os stand for, if I may ask

4:11 am

Dachef

operating system

4:11 am

Dachef

like windows 7 or windows 8 or XP

4:11 am

puglet

thank you

4:11 am

sprite

operating system. Like windows, or linux.

4:12 am

sprite

and if I would decide to upgrade, Dachef, do you know which newer windows version is the most stable and user-friendly?

4:12 am

sprite

I know Vista was a disaster.

4:13 am

puglet

my repairman also said alot of people are having problems with their emails on the big sites --like yahoo etc. due to all the hackers

4:13 am

sprite

yes, indeed. I use the email I got from my provider, with outlook express.

4:13 am

Dachef

sprite: probably windows 7 is easier to use than windows 8. Might be worth waiting for a new one though. I stlll use XP myself, tho I have some heavy-duty anti-virus software.

4:14 am

puglet

do you have any problems Sprite

4:14 am

sprite

ok Dachef, thank you :)

4:14 am

Dachef

You're probably better off with windows 7 rather than 8 because 8 differs a lot from XP, if thats what you're used to.

4:14 am

sprite

no, none at all, pug, it works very well here.

4:15 am

puglet

Dachef, do you put the anti virus in yourself

4:15 am

sprite

I know XP in and out. Not really looking forward to a new system.

4:15 am

rururocks

Windows 7 sick

4:15 am

puglet

Ive not had any on mine either

4:15 am

puglet

Hi Ruru

4:15 am

lynxxx

I got Windows 7 last year Sprite - its all pretty familiar. Windows 8 looks quite scary!

4:15 am

rururocks

Sucks....

4:15 am

sprite

hey ruru :)

4:15 am

lynxxx

Hello all

4:16 am

rururocks

Hello everyone

4:16 am

puglet

Hi lyn, been awhile for you too

4:16 am

sprite

hey lyn :) xxx

4:16 am

rururocks

I miss xp... too many steps to do simple things with 7

4:17 am

puglet

Is 7 what you have Ru

4:17 am

rururocks

I wish I never had 7 installed. .yes I have 7 and I hate it

4:17 am

Dachef

ruru - yeah, I agree. But if you're not 100% confident with computers, 7 is the easiest change from XP, as 8 is virtually incomprehensible in many ways.

4:18 am

sprite

but recently someone asked me to come play minecraft with them... and I can't because the newest version of mc doesn't work with xp.

4:18 am

lynxxx

7 has got some nice new features but I too miss some of the stuff I used to do automatically - still can't find them

4:19 am

puglet

what is mindcraft Sprite?

4:19 am

sprite

minecraft is a game in which you build your own world, literally block by block.

4:20 am

puglet

like the sims game kinda

4:20 am

rururocks

Sort of God Leggos?....

4:21 am

sprite

no, you actually have to get resources and then build what you want block by block. Yes, a kind of like lego, ruru. Only there is day and night, with all kinds of different challenges, and lots of ways to get the necessary resources.

4:23 am

puglet

a game for people with high brain waves, it sounds like--lol

4:24 am

sprite

lol not really.

4:25 am

puglet

you can state that for your IQ is way up there-lol

4:26 am

rururocks

I am proud of my low brain waves

4:26 am

sprite

yeah right, lol. I can be so stupid it shames me.

4:27 am

puglet

I would not say you have a low one either Ruru

4:27 am

rururocks

Oh I can be pretty stupid if I want to be..

4:28 am

puglet

but from time to time you do have a pit that opens up--lol

4:28 am

sprite

ohhhh yeah!

4:28 am

puglet

acting stupid and being stupid is completely different

4:29 am

rururocks

...look at this face...:D

4:29 am

sprite

*giggles* such a sweet, mad face,ruru

4:29 am

puglet

yeah but its not really yours either--lol

4:31 am

sprite

my little dog is snoring at my feet... so sweet.

4:31 am

puglet

ahhh---mines on the bed snoring

4:31 am

rururocks

OK back to bed for me. ..night

4:32 am

puglet

night Ruru

4:32 am

sprite

night ruru, sweet dreams

4:32 am

puglet

yucky day for us here today--cold and snow flurries

4:34 am

sprite

we had frost again yesterday and tonight. But now the sun is out. Wish I could send you some!

4:34 am

puglet

Iam waiting for some nice weather to go clean up along the river where trash and stuff has washed down when it was up earlier

4:34 am

puglet

please do! lol

4:34 am

puglet

you going walking today then

4:34 am

sprite

*points imperious finger to the sun*

4:36 am

puglet

I joined a chat room to talk to people when I cant sleep, but I dont know about it--I dont really trust those places

4:37 am

sprite

no, be careful there, pug. What we have here in babble is very unusual in cyberspace... so much friendliness and safety. Most chatrooms aren't as safe.

4:38 am

puglet

yeah, I seen that---I think Iam going to do away with it---but on those times I cant sleep the night is so darn long

4:39 am

sprite

try playing some online game then.

4:39 am

sprite

think I know one for you... I'll email you with the specs.

4:40 am

puglet

I usually do but I dont have many I play and sometimes that gets old--but I did join the lex. game that ruby was talking about

4:40 am

puglet

okay, please do

4:42 am

puglet

it seems on that chat line that most are looking for more then friendship and I have enough problems with what I got now so am not looking for more trouble--lol

4:42 am

sprite

yes, lots of that going on in cyberspace. Also, some chatrooms are nice and then one or two persons come along and ruin it all.

4:44 am

puglet

do you belong to any

4:45 am

sprite

no. I found that I like the ingame chats a lot better. If you like the game I sent you the link for, I'll introduce you to my chat friends.

4:45 am

puglet

okay, thanks

4:46 am

sprite

fireflies here

4:47 am

puglet

you use the same name there

4:47 am

congrats Miss IQ--lol

4:47 am

lolol

4:47 am

Miss Game Addict, more like. Wait until you have played this game for 10 years. Makes you very fast as well.

4:48 am

puglet

have a wonderful, wonderful day, my friend, since I know you must go about your day--love and hugs :)

4:49 am

love and hugs to you too, darling pug. Take it easy and take good care of yourself.

Hi Molly, You can a fashion conscious dog there

7:04 am

MollyL

I ask you, what is more optimistic than a beagle looking at the world through rose-colored glasses?

7:06 am

Anniebrook

I believe that is it. I guess she or he is thinking spring is really here.

7:06 am

MollyL

Well, I would jump on that bandwagon, but we have light snow here. : (

7:07 am

Anniebrook

We will be getting snow tonight into Wednesday. I am sick of it.

7:07 am

MollyL

Longest, coldest, most annoying winter ever.

7:07 am

Anniebrook

Ever!

7:08 am

MollyL

I bought some pansies the other day and had to bring them in because they were drooping in the cold.

7:10 am

Anniebrook

I fill up pots with flowers on my terrace but much too cold here and windy.

7:11 am

Anniebrook

I usually wait until the end of April. The wind is very strong off the ocean and then it sort of calms down because it gets warmer

good morning all

7:22 am

morning, wolvie

7:23 am

MollyL

For anyone who has a wood burning fireplace, an outdoor fire pit or who camps...save your toilet paper rolls and stuff them with dryer lint from the lint screen. They make great fire starters.

7:24 am

rubyfoo

what a great idea, molly!

7:25 am

aslindy

You can melt some old candles to mix the wax in with the lint, too

7:26 am

aslindy

If you get your eggs in cardboard cartons, you can use those, too, filled with lint and wax. Tear off one or two to start your fire.

7:27 am

rubyfoo

betterhan the petroleum=based fire starters my husband uses, that's for sure

7:27 am

Wolvie

we save our tp rolls for sculpture race poo- decorate and fill with candy for the kids every year lol. this year crocodile poo. :D

7:28 am

rubyfoo

crocodile poo I hope it's like owl poop, little bones and clean stuff

7:29 am

Wolvie

it is candy- various kinds lol. we decorate the rolls, fill them up and seal them shut- then a little poop gun shoots them out as we roll along the street in the race :D

7:29 am

rubyfoo

see you later, kids, off to the notary and lawyer....wish me luck

7:29 am

7:30 am

Wolvie

it is a good time aslindy. kids love it :-)

7:34 am

bichon

As for dryer lint, only use lint from natural fibers, like cotton and wool. Not polyester, etc

7:34 am

aslindy

good point, bichon

7:35 am

bichon

Mr. Bich is a firestarter maven

7:35 am

bichon

I have to separate the lint from the dryer. We have plastic backs o dryer lint

7:36 am

aslindy

around here, eggs are always in foam cartons, but I found cardboard cartons at our recycle center, so I bought a stack

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

7:37 am

hi scrabs

7:38 am

bichon

Hi Scrabs, good to see you back and feeling well

7:38 am

Anniebrook

good morning, scrabbs :)

7:38 am

bichon

It's a shame about the foam cartons. We don't have foam recycling here

7:38 am

Scrabbler

I make firestarters with cotton balls smeared with vaseline, then store them in a small tin carton.

7:39 am

Scrabbler

I am not 100%, but am trying to be patient,

7:39 am

bichon

That's good too Scrabs

7:39 am

MollyL

I've used those vaseline fire starters before. They are great.

7:39 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, did you have the flu?

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Or cotton pads. And I have used lint from the dryer.

7:39 am

Scrabbler

No, my concussion, Annie.

7:40 am

Anniebrook

Oh dear, that takes a while. No skiing of any kind for you but you know that.

7:40 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, can I ask you a question?

7:41 am

MollyL

How on Earth do you "separate dryer lint"?

7:41 am

Scrabbler

I will go for a walk today. Yes, Annie, of course.

7:41 am

72 Temple Owl

hello all.

7:41 am

Anniebrook

Is if safe to take 2 Aleves every morning? It helps me with the dammmm arthritis.

7:41 am

Wolvie

hi TO

7:41 am

bichon

I dry the polyesters, etc. on a different drying cycle. I don't use that lint. I just use the lint from the stuff I can dry on high heat

7:41 am

Anniebrook

Hi Owl :)

7:42 am

bichon

bbl. Have to drive Mr. Bich to work

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Yes, people with arthritis often take 750 mg twice daily.

7:42 am

MollyL

Oh, I see. I had visions of you with a tweezers and lint.

7:42 am

72 Temple Owl

hi annie

7:42 am

72 Temple Owl

hi wolive

7:42 am

Anniebrook

Thanks so much, scrabbs

7:43 am

Scrabbler

But usual dose is 500mg twice daily. Risk of all such drugs = GI bleeding.

7:43 am

72 Temple Owl

annuie: please be sure to take that on a full stomach. that drug put me in thehospital

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl

7:43 am

72 Temple Owl

hi scrabs. fellingbetter, i hope.

7:43 am

Scrabbler

OTC naproxen = 220 mg so you could take 440 mg twice daily

7:44 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, that is what I take. 440 mg of naproxen but one a day. I hope I dont graduate to twice a day.

7:44 am

Anniebrook

Owl, I am taking the naproxen now after breakfast.

7:44 am

Anniebrook

*once

7:44 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabbler, i think i am going to try to take aspiron when needed again. one tab, full stomach. since every oter painkiller has put me into the hospital, i will chance it

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Annie, that is not a high dose at all, compared to people taking Celebrex, Relafen, etc.

7:45 am

72 Temple Owl

i rarely need pain killer, but when i do it is antiinflammatory i need

7:46 am

Scrabbler

And pills must be swalloed with a good 8 oz of water to make sure pill ends up in the stomach. A pill in the esophagus can cause erosion and bleeding there.

7:46 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, thanks, you have eased my mind

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Good, Annie. I am on the phone with my mother now. She takes 200mg of ibuprofen every morning and that makes her nervous, although I told her that is a dose for a 44 lb kid.

7:51 am

Anniebrook

8:21 am

Scrabbler

I have been eating lots of blueberries to help my brain heal--antioxidants, and extra omega 3's.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Oatmeal is yummier with fruit added, or even fruit jam.

I think being in one's 50's is a critical time to begin caring for one's health for those that have not already done so. So many people deteriorate in their 50's.

8:29 am

There is a book that has just been translated from its original Russian and is a view of the entire LOTR collection, but from the Mordor side of things and it is called The Last Ringbearer. For those who are interested, just e-mail me as i have a translated copy in e-pub format and will gladly share with anyone who wishes a copy.

8:34 am

crossy hugs his universal health care card:)

8:38 am

crosshair

it is not perfect, and by god we pay through the nose with taxes, but it is always there, from cradle to grave

8:39 am

crosshair

for example , i have been waiting 2 months to see a spine specialist, and i fully expect to wait another three before i see him/her

8:39 am

bichon

It doesn't have dental coverage crossy?

8:40 am

crosshair

dental is a different kettle of fish and other arrangements must be made, unless it is emergency dental surgary

8:40 am

bichon

We have to wait for appointments too. Not for every doctor, but for some

8:41 am

hego

I rarely have to wait.

8:41 am

bichon

When I wanted to see a Neurologist I waited 4 months!

8:41 am

crosshair

you are fortunate, here, the top specialists are clustered in the larger urban centres and take time

8:42 am

bichon

I have to make appointments with my GP 4 months in advance. I can see others in the practice, but for him, it's tough. He hasnt taken new patient for years

8:42 am

hego

We may have more here, but not all are great.

8:43 am

crosshair

wow, that is a long time, bichon!

8:43 am

hego

I went to NYC for my foot surgery.

8:44 am

bichon

My GP is so popular, that I have to plan my 3x a year visitis with him when I leave that visit.

8:44 am

crosshair

i can see my GP in a week, then there is always the walk-in clinics if i cannot wait, Ct scans are a week, bloodwork is same day, MRI's take 2-3 weeks. so i cannot complain too badly

8:44 am

hego

Must get on with the day. bbl...

8:44 am

crosshair

tc hego

8:44 am

bichon

I waited 4 months to see a Neurologist in this town. He told me I had Parkinsons. I wanted a second opinion so I went to see a Neurologist at Yale. I waited 3 months to see him

8:45 am

crosshair

and the doc at yale confirmed?

8:46 am

bichon

No, he said I don't have it, just an essential tremor.

8:46 am

crosshair

mm, shows it is always good to get an extra opinion

8:47 am

bichon

Especially when it's such a grim diagnosis.

8:47 am

crosshair

indeed.

8:48 am

crosshair

just a tremor when you do stuff requiring fine motor skill or detailed work with your hands?

8:48 am

crosshair

sorry, if i am being nosey, it is the Taurus in me

8:48 am

bichon

I have a fine head tremor and my hands shale a bit too. But he did give me a medicine which helps greatly

8:49 am

crosshair

that is well then:)

8:49 am

bichon

When I started the medicine, I noticed my handwriting was much better

8:50 am

crosshair

my handwriting looks like a chicken walked though a puddle of ink, stumbled over the piece of paper and died a horrible death. ;)

8:50 am

bichon

People would think I was saying no to them while shaking my head. Now, it isn't as bothersome

8:51 am

crosshair

My friends tease me in that they say they have to send what i write to the ligusitics department of the Royal Ontario Museum for translation

8:52 am

bichon

I've always had bad handwriting, but now it's improved to where it was 30 years ago

8:52 am

crosshair

:))

8:54 am

bichon

bbl

9:23 am

Speedie

bichon - there is a big difference between parkinsons and essential tremor... I am continually surprised that regular neurologists don't know the difference.

9:26 am

bichon

The first Neurologist said, he couldn't rule out Parkinsons, but he saw sign of it. The Neurologist at Yale said he saw no signs of it. That's a big difference and a relieving one

9:26 am

bichon

I first went due to balance problems, which have not been solved

9:27 am

Speedie

I have been through all the meds. There is nothing that works for me anymore.

9:28 am

Speedie

But I hear you about the balance issue.

9:28 am

bichon

I am taking Primodone. There isn't a vast improvement, but some. The balance issues are more worrisome.

9:28 am

bichon

Everything has been ruled out

9:29 am

Speedie

When I took Primodone, I started running into walls. Had to walk slower.

9:29 am

bichon

I haven't had any side effects, fortunately. My father had tremors too.

9:30 am

Speedie

That is what makes the diagnosis for ET.

4:32 pm

4:39 pm

4:39 pm

periwinkle

I have the re8 pertaining to flour and need help with other re8 pls

4:39 pm

periwinkle

re 8/45 - most like Rex the film critic

4:48 pm

montreal13

just found RE8/45 -- make the 3rd re4 "the most"

4:49 pm

montreal13

hi all.. in my final stretch with 23 to go...

4:53 pm

MollyL

It's been snowing all day here. Any hope of Spring is lost. Someone must defeat the evil queen Jadis (Narnia reference)

4:55 pm

montreal13

we're apparently going to miss the next storm that will drop up to 50 cms on the Maritimes !!!

4:57 pm

montreal13

that's 20 inches...

4:59 pm

MollyL

I don't know how you Canadians do it. I would be stark raving mad if we got as much snow as you do.

5:01 pm

montreal13

we're used to it... it's not as bad now as it used to be...although in 2008 we got around 17 FEET of snow that winter...now, THAT was alot

5:02 pm

MollyL

That's the thing, I could never get used to it. Not the snow, not the bitter cold, none of it.

5:03 pm

montreal13

am sure you would Molly if you had been born to it...

5:05 pm

MollyL

I'm really glad I wasn't. I'm much more of a shorts and t-shirt person than a coat, scarf, gloves and long underwear type : D

5:07 pm

montreal13

the thing is, most of us actually love our winters !! i don't ski but used to play hockey on outside rinks + we REALLY enjoy our summers bc they are so short ! we have a saying here: we have 2 seasons in Montreal, summer and the month of july.

5:10 pm

MollyL

That

5:10 pm

MollyL

That is funny. My husband was Canadian (he has passed) and he said the same thing, until he came down here and saw how the other half lives. : D

5:12 pm

montreal13

well, i guess there are advantages to both... a good friend of mine had had enough of it: he now lives half the year in Florida...and laughs at our snowstorms and freezing rains ;)

5:12 pm

MollyL

I'm all for everyone living in weather that makes them happy : )

5:13 pm

montreal13

agreed

5:15 pm

MollyL

I would live in Florida in a heartbeat if it a) wasn't so expensive and b) wasn't so far from my clan

5:15 pm

kje

whereas, you couldn't pay me enough to live in Florida

5:15 pm

kje

hi monty

5:17 pm

montreal13

FW! nice talking to you Molly - have a great day to you and all lurkers "poof" - same here Molly as we wouldn't leave our own clan... hey there kje - heard about your accident: any recurring problems ?

MollyL

You are a good pointer, Zoom : D

5:53 pm

zoozzoom

Teehee...Why thank you!

5:53 pm

zoozzoom

I am annoyed with myself..as i fell asleep yesterday and did not finish the grid :-(

5:54 pm

Jindigo

5:54 pm

MollyL

It's okay Zoom, there are far worse things to have done.

5:54 pm

Jindigo

5:56 pm

Jindigo

ah - I know that one too - missed it. Thanks ZZ

5:56 pm

HarryHood

heh - my clues are lowbrow :)

5:56 pm

MollyL

5:56 pm

HarryHood

5:58 pm

HarryHood

gotta go wash the kids. 66 to go!

5:58 pm

MollyL

Common...of the common people...not to be confused with "come on" as in "come on over"

5:58 pm

MollyL

Pesky kids. Didn't they get washed yesterday?

6:00 pm

zoozzoom

Is that your Dog, Molly?

6:00 pm

phandmd

good evening

6:00 pm

MollyL

Hahahaha! No. I am one of the few people here who does not have a pet of some sort.

6:01 pm

zoozzoom

me neither.

6:02 pm

MollyL

When I first started playing here, I thought it was a word game for dog owners since the chat was all about dogs.

6:03 pm

phandmd

that's funny.

6:03 pm

MollyL

And everyone seemed to have a pet of some sort as their icon.

6:03 pm

phandmd

like me...

6:04 pm

zoozzoom

Your dog looks so friendly in your icon, Phandmd :-)

6:05 pm

phandmd

she is friendly, but she can be a little overwhelming to others as she gets very vocal and excited.

6:05 pm

phandmd

I haven't been successful in training that out of her.

6:06 pm

zoozzoom

Bless...as long as she does not have muddy paws and jumps up on your new clothes..lol

6:06 pm

phandmd

I try very hard to prevent that.

6:07 pm

phandmd

she is a 65 + pound dog, no one likes that!

6:07 pm

MollyL

Ruby does

6:08 pm

phandmd

well, very few people like that...

6:08 pm

zoozzoom

hahaha no i can understand why..after all you do not want to end up on the floor with the weight of the dog..lol

6:08 pm

MollyL

I don't know how tiny little Ruby manages with those big dogs of hers.

6:11 pm

zoozzoom

Ok grid done..next..floss, brush, bed....Happy babbling, Molly, Phandmd & all stealth babblrs...Byee!

6:11 pm

phandmd

6:13 pm

Congrats for what? That was Zoom's cheer.

6:13 pm

phandmd

Oh, sorry. I didn't see his post...

6:13 pm

MollyL

*Thinks Phan is way into the wine again*

6:14 pm

phandmd

wishes... Just didn't see the post... Maybe I should hit the wine...

6:14 pm

phandmd

But that probably isn't a smart idea with this cold I am fighting...

6:15 pm

phandmd

6:16 pm

MollyL
