1:32 am
rururocks
We just can't live together any longer

VolleymomDee
Maybe you should just buy a house with two apartments :)
1:34 am
rururocks
She proposed that once ...lol
1:35 am
rururocks
I don't think that would work though
1:36 am
VolleymomDee
a lot of years invested, not to at least consider it... being alone in old age is pretty tough :)
1:37 am
VolleymomDee
especially if you don't hate each other... that is pretty unique

My servant days are over though..

1:51 am
Bugsaw
clever move on his part. anything that flies seems to land and poop on every surface in the place before it finds its way out
1:52 am
flosey
I just found it hard to settle down to sleep - had been feeling sleepy. I'll take a better look around in the morning to make sure there isn't any 'remnants' left behind

I go to another doctor for that tuesday
4:09 am
sprite
ah good, that is pretty soon
4:10 am
puglet
that place on my arm was bleeding so bad yesterday I thought I was going to have to go back. After five hours it finely clotted
4:11 am
sprite
oh darling :( That is so long! Make sure you drink plenty today and rest, you hear? Sounds like you lost quite a lot of blood.
4:11 am
puglet
I was only home for a wee bit and that clinic called saying the surgeon had sent over my records and wanted me seen as soon as possible
4:12 am
sprite
that means it is pretty serious, honey. I wish it wasn't. But since it is, I am glad they put a move on things.
4:12 am
puglet
I know--I couldnt get it to stop--it soaked clear through the stuff they wrapped it with, my blouse and coat---I hope I can get it out of my jacket
4:12 am
Dianne
Oh my pug p did you cut yourself?
4:13 am
puglet
yeah me too
4:14 am
puglet
No Di, I had cysts on parts of my body finding out I got diabetes and they operated on them
4:14 am
Dianne
Hi sprite - how are you and your family?
4:14 am
sprite
we are all well, thanks Dianne :) How are you and yours?
4:15 am
Dianne
Oh pug so sorry to hear of this trouble. I knew your sister has diabetes but I didn't realize that you are also diabetic. I hope all will be all right/
4:16 am
puglet
I didnt know I was either until yesterday
4:16 am
sprite
things should get better from here on, at least, pugs. Now that you know what is what and are getting treatment.
4:16 am
Dianne
sprite - we are good, busy working and making the ends meet :)
4:16 am
sprite
good job, Dianne :)
4:17 am
Dianne
Pug - that must have come as quite a shock.
4:17 am
puglet
I need to eat but I just cant seem to
4:17 am
puglet
it was--I had no signs I did
4:18 am
sprite
god I know that feeling, pugs. Remember what you tell me when I have that feeling? To eat a little bit, just to keep the sugar lvl ok?
4:18 am
Dianne
Wow - and you certainly know what signs to look for.
4:18 am
puglet
yeah I know
4:19 am
sprite
it was the same with me, Dianne. No signs. Just going to the doctor for something else, having bloodwork done, and tadaaaa we have a surprise for you.
4:19 am
puglet
I wasent thirsty or nothing like that but I have lost about 80 pounds(which Iam not sorry)
4:19 am
sprite
but that is a LOT of weight loss, darling.
4:19 am
Dianne
What type of clinic do you need to go to?
4:20 am
puglet
Its a new one they just put in about a year ago
4:20 am
Dianne
To deal with the diabetes?
4:20 am
puglet
now I got loose flab--lol
4:21 am
puglet
yes Di--thats where the surgeon has sent me
4:21 am
rubyfoo
good morning
4:21 am

4:21 am
puglet
HI Ruby dear
4:22 am
sprite
hi ruby :) How was your outing?
4:22 am
puglet
Iam feeling better--the fever has gone now to get rid of the infection
4:22 am
Dianne
Pug - you certainly have alot on yur plate lately. I wish you only the best.
4:22 am
puglet
thank you Di
4:22 am
sprite
am so glad, pug. Much better without the fever and a good sign too.
4:23 am
puglet
did you get my mail about Carol? She wont get out for another 3 or 4 days
4:24 am
rubyfoo
I had fun on the outing, but the movie was too complicated and, of course, in French, that I fell asleep for about half of it
4:24 am
sprite
yes I did, only it got overshadowed by your mail about your health, sweetie. Sorry.
Am really sorry for your friend as well.
4:24 am
rubyfoo
pugs, if you can stand it, eat some liver to make you stronger
4:24 am
sprite
hahaha ruby, well at least you got a nice nap!
4:24 am
puglet
well at least you got out Ruby and got a nice nap too-lol
4:24 am
rubyfoo
and the sushi was pretty good
4:25 am
puglet
I like liver, so I will
4:25 am
rubyfoo
I am walking around really tired -- maybe because I am doing so much more
4:25 am
sprite
french for tree is not valid, just to let you know
4:26 am
rubyfoo
I hated livr the way my mother made it (was like shoe leather), but once I learned to cook it briefly and with fried onions, I have come to love it
4:26 am
sprite
good food, good company and a good nap, ruby... sounds like you came out winning on all counts.
4:26 am
puglet
what is a french tree
4:26 am
rubyfoo
and baby dog, when she sees a cat, is barely manageable for me, so I am really working the whole walk
4:26 am
puglet
thats how I like it too Ruby
4:26 am
sprite
arbre = tree
4:28 am
rubyfoo
although my Fr is pretty good, when more than one person speaks at the same time (like in movies or TV), I get lost
4:28 am
sprite
I simply can't stand liver, unless it is not fried but cooked, and sliced thin, as bread topping.
4:28 am
puglet
I dont know what happen to Rose--she came on at flip and said hi and that she will be back after getting her words and she just left
4:28 am
sprite
don't worry about it, ruby, just be happy with all the good stuff.
4:28 am
puglet
I like beef or chicken liver
4:29 am
Dianne
all that talk about food made me hungry - got carrot sicks and olives to munch on.
4:29 am
sprite
ah, real life interfered in some form, no doubt, pugs. Squirrel, meds, pyjama, visitors, sex... you know rose.
4:29 am
puglet
a nice healthy snack--lol
4:29 am
sprite
lol Dianne! Enjoy!
4:30 am
Dianne
It is a healthy snack - but the blue cheese dip?
4:30 am
sprite
am having 2 apples for breakfast here, with some crackers.
4:30 am
rubyfoo
I dip my carrots in Boursin
4:30 am
puglet
how did it go yesterday Sprite? Did you get the things done you wanted to do
4:31 am
sprite
balance in all, Dianne. If you have a healthy snack, you need the balance of a blue cheese dip
4:31 am
sprite
I did, pug, and I rested a lot, with my feet up. Most of the day, to be honest. And lo and behold, I have ankles today!
4:32 am
puglet
ALRIGHT! thats good Sprite
4:33 am
sprite
I love boursin
4:33 am
puglet
I dont know what that is
4:34 am
sprite
it is a soft cheese with garlic and herbs. Very tasty.
4:34 am
rubyfoo
it's a soft, mild chees with garlic and herbs
4:34 am
rubyfoo
snap, sprite
4:34 am
puglet
sounds good
4:34 am
rubyfoo
and there's a type "cuisinier" which is perfect for dipping
4:35 am
sprite
oh, indeed, the one for cooking. Also very yummy.
4:37 am
sprite
one of my favorite quick dishes:
cook pasta.
Meanwhile, fry chopped bacon, add chopped leek, when the leek is soft enough, turn down the heat and add boursin (or any soft garlicky cheese), stir.
Serve over the pasta. Tadaa, done. And sooo good.
4:38 am
puglet
sounds good Sprite
4:39 am
rubyfoo
ooh, quick 50 and off to lunch at Sprite's place. Picking mint for the bartender
4:39 am
rubyfoo
{{big hugs everybody}}
4:39 am

enjoy your lunch, ruby
4:39 am

4:40 am

*hunting for ep words now*
4:41 am
puglet
babble has allot of words Ive never use nor probablly ever will
4:41 am

4:41 am

4:42 am
sprite
wow, didn't know that, Dianne
4:42 am
puglet
thats amazing Di
4:43 am
puglet
everyday on babble I learn new words so its like a english class--lol
4:44 am
Dianne
I learn them too, pug, but mostly forget them in a few days.
4:44 am
puglet
not that I will remember them two days from now-lol
4:44 am
sprite
"While walking down the beach, ywis, I spotted an inia. Riding home with my sonsie wife, we saw some anoas. We traversed a haha on the final stretch home. And, how was your day?"

4:49 am
puglet
flosey had a bat in her house and I asked her if dracula was paying her a visit-lol
4:49 am
sprite
lolllll! What did she say?
4:49 am
puglet
she laughed
4:50 am
sprite
could she get it out?
4:50 am
puglet
her hubby did---she didnt say how it got in though
4:51 am
Dianne
I wonder where she hid while he was taking care of it.
4:51 am
sprite
open window maybe. I like bats, to be honest. But not in my house.
4:51 am
puglet
lol, I dont know Di
4:51 am
sprite
in the toilet with the do4 locked, lol
4:51 am
puglet
I think she said he turned off the house lights and opened the door
4:52 am
puglet
I dont think we have ever had any in the house
4:53 am
puglet
oh, my pretty bluebirds are back making a nest in their little birdhouse
4:54 am
sprite
that is great!
4:55 am
puglet
they are so pretty----and I got teeny tiny leaves sprouting out on the lilac bushes so its spring time at last
4:56 am
sprite
good things to hold on to in all this turmoil, pugs
4:56 am
puglet
I enjoy springtime myself
4:57 am
puglet
hows you weather Sprite
4:58 am
sprite
pretty good today. I see a bit of blue sky, the sun is out and it is not raining.
4:58 am
puglet
is it spring there too
4:59 am
sprite
oh yes, blossoming trees and all, pugs
4:59 am
puglet
is your country's tulip in bloom yet
5:00 am
sprite
it is a bit early still for tulips
5:03 am
puglet
I bet that is so pretty to see all those flowers bloomed out
5:03 am
sprite
and there we are again, past the hiccup
5:04 am
puglet
at least it didnt last so long this morning
5:04 am
puglet
what exciting stuff are you doing today
5:04 am
sprite
lolllll yeah my life is SO exciting!
5:05 am
puglet
have you got any ideals on how I might get that blood out of my white jacket
5:05 am
puglet
well much more then mine
5:06 am
sprite
let me think... babble now. With breakfast. Then laundry. Already did the kitchen. Maybe prepare some stuff for dinner. Rest some with my feet up. Walk Terra. And maybe get Win7 for my computer.
5:06 am
sprite
cold water and lots and lots of it, pugs.
5:06 am
sprite
also... let me find what it is called in english.
5:06 am
puglet
oh you got W7---yeah for you
5:07 am
sprite
ox gal soap? Does that ring a bell?
5:08 am
puglet
theres so much of it Iam worried about getting it out--got my jacket, blouse and two gowns
5:08 am
puglet
yes---I got some of that
5:08 am
sprite
this one:

Dianne
I saw such an interesting program on the Tulip Mania of the 1630's. The early "stock market".
5:09 am
puglet
okay, thanks
5:09 am
sprite
first, rinse with cold running water until no more blood comes out. Then treat with the soap, let soak in for a bit, rinse. Repeat until the stains are gone.
5:09 am
sprite
sounds interesting indeed, Dianne
5:10 am
sprite
ox bile/gal soap is great with fat and blood stains.
5:10 am
puglet
will do Sprite--tyvm
5:11 am
puglet
lol--it was bleed so bad and through everything I finelly took a femine pad and taped it on my arm--I didnt know what else to use
5:12 am
sprite
oh that is so smart! Good thinking!
5:12 am
puglet
I forgot the ing on bleed
5:13 am
sprite
hehehe no worries, it was clear what you meant
5:14 am
sprite
shouldn't you call the clinic and tell them how bad it has been bleeding?
5:15 am
puglet
if it hadent clotted I would have had to
5:15 am
sprite
yeah but maybe they know something better than just drink a lot of fluids and rest...
5:15 am
sprite
bleeding for 5 hours is wayyyy too much, honey.
5:16 am
puglet
but I thought if was good to let the infection bleed out and its right in the muscle of my arm so everytime I moved it--it just poured
5:16 am
sprite
I think you are right about it being good for clearing out the infection. But it is severe blood loss.
5:16 am
puglet
I must say I was getting a tad worried about it
5:17 am
sprite
just give them a call, please, pugs. Ask them if they have any advice on this. Tell them how lightheaded you felt yesterday too.
5:18 am
puglet
well its not bleeding now and it has clotted so I think Iam okay but if it starts back I most certainly will do so
5:19 am
sprite
not about the bleeding, but about the blood loss. I am a bit worried that it was too much. Since you are already weak and the infection has undermined your health, as has the diabetes. Would you call them for my peace of mind?
5:20 am
puglet
okay, will do when they open
5:20 am
sprite
I know for sure that they didn't know it would bleed so badly, or they wouldn't have let you go, pugs
5:20 am
sprite
great :) Please let me know what they say.
5:21 am
puglet
okay I will--and please dont worry for Iam fine right now
5:22 am
sprite
I sure do worry, sweetie, lol. Won't stop until you are all balanced out again, with sugar levels and no infections and feeling stronger.
5:22 am
puglet
He told me before I left that my blood was very thick--it sure didnt seem like it to me-lol
5:22 am
sprite
lol! All the more reason to tell them what happened. They need to have all the facts to help you properly.
5:23 am
puglet
since my fever has left the infection must be leaving as well
5:23 am
sprite
yes, for sure. So glad of that.
5:24 am
puglet
I should know alot more after tuesday
5:24 am
sprite
am doing so well here myself, pugs. With the eating, I mean. No binges at all. Sometimes still skipping an eating moment, but overall doing great.
5:24 am
puglet
Iam so hoping I dont have to take shots

Children with leukemia can be treated, right?
7:19 am

One of them was Gypsy Rose I believe, but I have no idea what the other one was. We had a LOT of cats when I was growing up.

Yes, Bichon, I am always saddened to learn of suffering kids and their parents and sibs.

Bichon, the cure rate for childhood leukemia is upwards of 80% or more, depending on the specific type.

when they have accidents (which do happen) I say NO then take them out immediately and wait for them to pee again, reward, etc.
7:30 am
car.eeyore
We take him out to potty, and he does, but then he comes in the house and will pee again on the floor.
7:30 am
car.eeyore
He was doing really well with potty training, but the last two days he has regressed something awful.
7:31 am
bichon
I kept them on a leash in the house attached to my waistband. That way they couldn't pee in the house. Sounds weird, but it worked. Bichons [males] are notorious for marking in the house.
7:31 am
lynnet
Ours pees three times (learning that the hard way) so we wait. I generally throw a stick for her a few times just to make sure she's done.

what's wrong with eggs?
8:39 am
kje
I was borderline with eggs anyway - would only eat them scrambled, then at a chef's table several months ago they served a raw quail egg yolk in a dashi broth and I thought I would try it... it is just one tiny bite! but that was a mistake. I almost couldn't swallow... several moments of trying very hard to smile and not gag, then finally got it down. Haven't been able to look at an egg since
8:39 am
kje
even just cracking them for baked goods is a little creepy
8:39 am
Aloyisius

kje
they are so slimy
8:40 am
Aloyisius
just change the albumin with heat
8:40 am

I like eggs but they have to be fully cooked - no runny anything so that would gross me out too kje
8:40 am
kje
have you ever dropped eggs on the floor? I once dropped a carton on the kitchen floor as a teenager and they are hard to clean up... they slide all around! I think that was when I first developed an aversion - lol

been trying to figure out win 8 today and have come to the conclusion (for the first time) that, technologically, I am part of the forgotten generation!
1:55 pm
crosshair
i do not care for win 8, they do have a patch for it now that gives you all the power and toys of win 8, but the general home screen of win 7. It is much easier to adapt that way
1:55 pm
welki
feh. forget about it today and go play a round of golf instead :)

Hi, everyone! Wow--I have the rest of today and the weekend off work! Haven't had that happen in months. Lots of projects to catch up on!

Crossy, I live in terror thinking about when this computer gives out and I may have no choice but to go to Win 8....scary.

<-- is going to golf this year. my husband pointed me towards boxes and boxes of golf balls, said buy these, and these, and these ... i said, why? i can only hit the ball 3 feet, i only need one ball :)
1:57 pm
cybernan
fine for you crossy, but I am of the generation that doesn't want or use apps, smart phones or any of that stuff. I want to put an icon on my taskbar that will connect me to the control panel when I want it -- I want to organize my own files and I don't want a bunch of popups asking me to register for all the apps I don't want with no way to get rid of them.
1:57 pm
welki
should rephrase the statement. *is going to swing the club this year*
1:57 pm

good news is that by the time your old girl gives up the ghost, they will most likely have learned their lesson at Microsoft, and Win 9 will be much better

1:58 pm
sammysmom
yay nan... that's the way i feel and get furious when i can't have it my way. i am too old to learn too much nerw shit and don t want to
1:58 pm
cybernan
hoping for that too --- after all, I did manage to skip vista successfully! In the meantime, hubby got a new laptop with win8 and both of us, like martin short, are ready to pitch it on the ice!
1:59 pm
crosshair
then, cybernana, if you buy a new machine that comes pre-loaded with win 8, you will need to use a hard drive wipe program like Killdisk" wipe the drive clean, reformat it and buy a copy of win 7 and do a clean install
1:59 pm
MimiCat
I had Vista on my original desktop and disabled it and changed to XP. I hear Win 8 just isn't compatible with MANY things.
1:59 pm
cybernan
dittto, sammy
1:59 pm

I will tell you now, stay away from Win xp now that it no longer has any support. the hackers will now exploit the hell out of it
2:00 pm
MimiCat
Luckily, my old computer had partitions, so just had to install XP on the other one. Yes, I know XP is a dinosaur now...kind of like me...
2:00 pm
cybernan
still have an xp, but don't use it on line -- only to use old programs that won't run on the newer OS's
2:00 pm
hootowl
Thx crossy - mine is XP!
2:01 pm
crosshair
well, yes, you can set up a dual-boot OS set up as well
2:01 pm

Hoots, i would advise you hunt for what is called a builders copy of Win 7.
2:01 pm
cybernan
boy! -- guess I opened a can of worms here - lol
2:01 pm

And from the info they sent me, 8 is no good but they now have 8.1
2:02 pm
MimiCat
My dear friend got me this HP laptop when my other one died but when I need to replace it, am going for a desktop so if it dies, I can just replace the hard drive and/or motherboard rather than replace the entire computer.
2:02 pm

8.1 is the new home screen interface i just taled about
2:02 pm
cybernan
only if you can figure out how to download it without everything freezing on you, hoot
2:02 pm

What's a builders copy. We've been talking about getting a new cmp but not sure if we can get one with 7.
2:03 pm
cybernan
still want icon links on my desktop and no apps!
2:03 pm
MimiCat
Just do what crossy said and wipe the 8 off and reinstall 7, owl.
2:03 pm
crosshair
that is why you have to install it yourself. Most pre- builts are coming with win 8. If you want &, you will have to do it yourself, or get a friend handy with computers to do it
2:03 pm
hootowl
I'm with you Nan.
2:04 pm

wish I knew how do to that mimi
2:04 pm

You can also have places like Best Buy build your computer for you and that way you have more options.

lilliann
ba8, where you go for a drink,vowel and first 4 letters of where you go to see shows/musicals

9:29 pm
lilliann
It was lovely to see them in there own habitat and flying
9:30 pm
welki
i used to have a nesting pair in my backyard when i lived back east (in new jersey) - they usually had one chick each year, sometimes two
9:30 pm
lilliann
Wow...that's brilliant
9:30 pm
welki
lil, i see two lambs, one in each pen
9:32 pm
welki
it was a beautiful yard - at a junction of a river and a stream, lots of big trees. my neighbors had peacocks that would roost in the trees (what a racket they made - scared me the first time i heard them)
9:33 pm
lilliann
I have loads of little birds nesting in my fir trees...different types of tits,black birds, starlings and others, i also have collared doves who normally nest near my sky dish but not this year and i have a pidgeon, first time this year copmes and feed and the horrible rook type birds
9:33 pm
welki
oh, there are the twins - and another in the other pen!
9:33 pm
lilliann
There is only one lamb with her mam in a pen, and the other mam with her twins are outside the pen
9:35 pm
welki
we live close to parkland, so see lots of different birds here, even in the city - and we live near a river, so get to see eagles, herons, pelicans and hawks - closer to home, flickers, magpies, robins, nuthatch, sparrows and finches
9:36 pm
72 Temple Owl

9:37 pm
lilliann
I have a picture of 2 female peacocks on the bairn's summerhouse last year...i looked out of the kitchen window and thought what the hell is that and then looked again and realized they were.we have a farm nearby and they have peacocks..sometimes we'll see the male one strutting around the village
9:37 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh joy!
9:37 pm
lilliann
Hi TO :)
9:37 pm

72 Temple Owl
hi,lil
9:39 pm
lilliann
I'm loving the other animals you get too Welki
9:39 pm

9:40 pm
lilliann
Aye the male one seems to do all the noise as when we had the females on the shed they were quiet
9:40 pm
welki

Geese get nasty, don't they....i always remember my mam saying when she was younger, in ww2, they had geese and they'd chase her
9:43 pm
welki
wow - you couldn't get much closer to scotland
9:44 pm
lilliann
Aye, a couple of hours away..that's why the Scotish like the geordies...nearer to Scotland, but they don't like majority of English
9:44 pm
welki
yep, they can be (but swans are nastier) - but they make good farm companions. i bought one to keep my girlfriend's horse company, a 'toulouse goose' to be precise
9:45 pm
lilliann
really? a goose and a horse?
9:46 pm
lilliann
Swans are nasty...beautiful though.In England you can't harm a swan...as it's royal
9:46 pm
welki
yes (and they're pretty good 'watchdogs' too, as are roosters - my husband used to have a rooster that would chase anyone who came onto his property
9:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
my neighbor has a pair
9:47 pm
rururocks
nothing worse than being chased by a ...

I keep going back to my lamb cam and i feel sorry for the ewe that had twins as she wants to lie down and rest and they want run about
10:41 pm
lilliann
It doesn't help that she is in the big pen with all the ewes so she has to keep an eye on them so another ewe doesn't pinch one of hers, even though they are ready to drop

I walked through do 4/5 at th 5/12 thirty after work and I dove de 4/5 into this grid earlier and I have oo 5/14 and aa 5/14 over fireworks. I would ra 4/4 this grid one of the most difficult ones. This was a ha 4/6 grid so here's a story of clues for babblers who are in di4/5 need of clues.I don't like to watch sports. Some sports fans are ro7/48 than others. I sw 5/18 that I would never watch sports on TV, but then started to watch Basketball.It is the only sport that I like. I can watch Basketball for ho 5/14. I would ra 5/12r watch Basketball than any other sport. I wish I could take a ri4/5 to an NBA game and go into their locker room. I wouldn't care about the od 4/5 or the smell. I used to play Basketball myself.I was a good th7/48 & could th 5/20 the ball into the ho 4/6. Husband has op5/14 to use computer.Husband is br5/16ing over my babbling and has a do 4/6 look on his face. He ha 4/5s it when I babble. He keeps raising his eye br 5/22 as if to say Are you done yet? He is such a br 4/6! He gets me so mad that I have to remind myself th4/6 shall not kill!I am going to give him computer so we don't get into a he 6/24 argument and I have to suffer his wr 5/20. I am going to go watch the movie Boyz n the Ho 4/6. I am su4/5 to come back tomorrow. Goodnite babblers
