12:11 am
jbp
they're all mosaics, and I think I have 2 sizes up right now
12:11 am
Lizlin
Lol, jbp - they weren't! Not enough for my liking anyway but were homegrown!
12:11 am
jbp
do you prefer big or small
12:11 am
jbp
well, to me, mosaics are built and designed of smaller bits... ;-)
12:15 am
jbp
would love an L clue
12:16 am
jillibus
I like either about 256 or 400.

2:05 am
Lizlin
Hi Rose - cool greeting.
2:05 am
Lizlin
How are you all today?
2:06 am
grannyrose
it's amazing, greek orthodox easter, our easter and passover all fall together this year.
2:06 am
Lizlin
Can see when car arrives from the window in here, so I'll stick around until they arrive! I could say until I get fireworks but that ain't going to happen yet!
2:06 am
grannyrose
doing well here also
2:06 am
Lizlin
It's good when they all work out together.
2:07 am
Lizlin
Glad to hear that and to see that Flosey's feeling better too.
2:07 am
grannyrose
no it isn't, cause i usually get to celebrate all three...
2:07 am
flosey
thanks Liz, was a long haul, but finally on top of it
2:08 am
puglet
you will just have to have one big celebration then
2:08 am
Lizlin
Well you still can! 8 days for Passover and only on day 3!
2:09 am
grannyrose
i'm afraid my poor tummy wouldn't take it.
2:09 am
Lizlin
Well celebrate in moderation then!
2:09 am
Lizlin
Or celebrate in full and suffer afterwards!
2:12 am
puglet
Liz your guest that are coming are they celebrating with you or there to just visit
2:12 am
Lizlin
Just visiting - suspect there's a golf championship locally.
2:13 am
Lizlin
But perhaps it's a celebration - I guess there'll be a lot of talk of our Canada / Alaska holiday.
2:25 am
flosey
Liz, is this holiday something in the future? or a happy memory
2:26 am
Lizlin
Last year, Flosey - July. Sadly because we were on an organised tour, we weren't able to catch up with you or Jilli - we had no spare time in Vancouver or Victoria.
2:26 am
Lizlin
And it's a great memory.
2:27 am
flosey
ah, it must be, I've never seen Alaska - I do have a vague memory of you talking about a trip
2:27 am
Lizlin
I'd've loved longer there - great cities. Though couldn't believe how much Vancouver had grown, since I was there in the 70s.
2:28 am
Lizlin
I'd really recommend the Inside Passage Cruise, if you could do it. It's amazing.
2:29 am
flosey
oh, that's for sure - we lived in Vancouver 1 school year, l962-3 - back then I didn't think of driving anywhere, now I don't even know my way around anymore
2:30 am
Lizlin
When my dad worked there, you could see the green roof of the hotel Vancouver from the North Shore - not now - just a wall of glass!
2:30 am
flosey
was talking about that cruise with daughter - she was trying to plan a girlie time, don't think it's going to happen
2:31 am
Lizlin
If you could make it happen, I'm sure you wouldn't regret it.
2:32 am
flosey
we'll see - do plan on another Ontario run late summer - a Cousins get-together - We cousins are it now, non of the previous generation left
2:33 am
rururocks
Girlie time?
2:33 am
Lizlin
I'm sure that will be fun too.
2:33 am
flosey
yes, some I haven't seen in many years, like, maybe 20+
2:34 am
sprite
good morning all :)
2:34 am
Lizlin
That will make it a very special trip.

Crappy here
2:38 am
grannyrose
hello sprite. did your parcel arrive?
2:38 am

things are looking up here, best day I've had for about a month
2:38 am
puglet

2:39 am
Lizlin
Ok - guests arrived. Speak soon.
2:39 am
grannyrose
enjoy liz
2:39 am
sprite
am pretty good. Appt with psychologist in an hour, we are gonna see if we can wrap up the sessions this year. And my te4ager son apologised for his rotten behaviour earlier this week, so that is a good thing :)
2:39 am
sprite
bye Liz, have a good time
2:39 am
puglet
bye Liz, have fun
2:39 am
sprite
what is ailing you, ruru?
2:39 am
rururocks
No i had to pay taxes yesterday
2:40 am
sprite
oh wow flosey, that is awesome! Am so glad :)
2:40 am
grannyrose
wow, sprite. what a turn around!!!
2:40 am
grannyrose
ugh, ruru...nothing worse than handing over money, and seeing nothing in return.
2:40 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Hello my darling! Yes, talked with him yesterday afternoon and it went totally rotten. But after work he came to me and said he wanted to make a 'real' apology :)
2:41 am
puglet
whats a few pennies to you--lol
2:41 am
sprite
ouch ruru.... yeah that sucks. Wish it was a no cure no pay situation... wouldn't they start working for real then!
2:42 am
rururocks
Pennies would have been great
2:42 am
puglet
did he have a bad day at school Sprite and took it out on you
2:43 am
sprite
I don't know, pugs. He did take something out on me, not sure what. Might be trouble with his girfriend... just a feeling I have. But when they are 18 they don't tell you everything anymore, sigh.
2:45 am
sprite
I see you moved to Greece, ruru? Better tax climate? :)
2:45 am
puglet
something must of happen for he had been doing good--you may be right but it still makes for a cruddy day
2:46 am
flosey
FW and now bedtime, goodnight all - last words un6/24
2:47 am
grannyrose
just watching prince william and katie in the blue mountains, NSW. they are such a lovely couple. showing genuine concern for our bush-fire wictims.
2:47 am
sprite
wtg flosey! And sleep well, and may tomorrow be even better than today was for you.
2:47 am
grannyrose
WTG FLOSEY!!! sweet dreams, dear
2:47 am
puglet
congrats and good night Flosey
2:48 am
puglet
they are a nice couple Rose
2:48 am
flosey
yes rose, they are fun to watch - so much freer than the previous generation
2:48 am
sprite
yeah pugs, indeed. I have told him a thousand times that if he wants us to allow for him to be in a rotten mood, he has to tell us that something put him in that mood. That he cannot expect the world to allow for that unless he takes responsibility. Sigh. Will they ever learn?
2:48 am
sprite
I like them too, rose
2:49 am
grannyrose
when they turn 50, sprite...lol
2:49 am
sprite
lol, ok, I won't give up hoping then ;)
How did your baby sit adventure go?
2:50 am
puglet
oh yeah, I forgot about that
2:50 am
grannyrose
was great, thanx. don is such a fantastic grandpa. he sat and played games with deacon on the computer.
2:51 am
grannyrose
don was gob-smacked when deacon asked for his own profile on the computer.
2:52 am
puglet
did he get it? lol
2:52 am
grannyrose
i could hear the pair of them giggling away together.
2:53 am
grannyrose
of course he did, pugs. don is such a push-over when it comes to the kids.
2:53 am
sprite
that sounds so good! So the boys kept eachother busy and you could relax a bit?
2:53 am
grannyrose
yes, sprite.
2:56 am
sprite
I can imagine how this will progress... rose calling up deacon's pa7: "Please can deacon come soon? I need a day off...*
2:56 am
grannyrose
lolol....how did you guess? i am already plotting...er...planning another 'deacon' day.
2:56 am
puglet
gradyn is on spring break this upcoming week and wants to come and stay. Due to having to go to the surgeon monday I cant answer him yet to if he can or not. But Iam hoping it works that he can
2:57 am
sprite
oh that would be great, pugs. And he will be in so much better shape than last time.
2:58 am
puglet
He will and hes doing so good in school too
2:58 am
sprite
am so glad things turned out ok for him, pugs. I know you worried a lot. Is his mum still somewhere in the picture?
2:59 am
puglet
she was the last I talked to his dad--they were going to take her back to court due to having trouble with her again
3:00 am
sprite
I cannot understand that woman. If she doesn't want any of the responsibilities of being a mother, why demand any rights?
3:00 am
puglet
the last time Gradyn stayed W as a real ass to him and Iam a bit leery having him come
3:01 am
puglet
only when she wants that roll it seems
3:01 am
sprite
she is truly weird
3:01 am
sprite
hm, that sucks too, pugs. But maybe with you standing up to W more, things will go bettr.
3:02 am
puglet
gradyn does not want to ever go or wants anything to do with her and right now he has little choice
3:03 am
sprite
at which age can he legally decide not to see her anymore?
3:03 am
puglet
here its 12
3:03 am
grannyrose
good question, sprite
3:03 am
sprite
and he is 10?
3:04 am
sprite
I expect the judge to take Gradyn's wishes into account then. He is so ne4 that legal age already.
3:05 am
puglet
at 12 he can say if he wants to go or not
3:07 am
puglet
its suppose to be in the 70's all next week!
3:07 am
sprite
oh how lovely, pugs. Finally.
3:08 am
puglet
yeah I know! I hope we have seen the last of this snow and cold temps
3:09 am
grannyrose
sprite, did you answer me before? has your parcel arrived, yet, dear?
3:09 am
sprite
I have to go, friends, sorry. Will be back after the psychiatrist appointment.
3:09 am
sprite
rose, no not yet!
3:09 am
puglet
good luck with it
3:10 am
grannyrose
okay, thanx hun
3:10 am
puglet
bye Sprite
3:10 am
grannyrose
hope your appointment goes well, dear
3:17 am
puglet
Rose are you having your heartattack hamburger tonight? This is thursday
3:19 am
grannyrose
no hun, grilled lamb chops....and tomorrow a norwegian cod casserole i only make once a year.
3:20 am
puglet
is the casserole for church
3:21 am
grannyrose
will have take-away saturday, and on sunday we are going out for dinner with son simon, lucinda and all 5 kids.
3:21 am
puglet
oh that will be nice---are you still going to the park sunday with the family
3:21 am
grannyrose
tomorrow is almost a funeral service. the church will have all ornament, candles, flowers, linens removed.
3:22 am
grannyrose
no, hun. too many of them are unavailable. but it's okay. we will catch up with them another time.
3:23 am
puglet
so you are not having a egg hunt then
3:23 am
puglet
well those five kids will keep you busy and entertained-lol
3:23 am
grannyrose
not this year. we will at church on sunday.
3:37 am
puglet
Hi marigold
3:38 am
marigold
hi everyone
3:38 am
grannyrose
hey mari. how are you, hun?
3:39 am
marigold
i am good
3:40 am
grannyrose
lovely to hear, dear
3:41 am
marigold
I think might i have carpol tunnel
3:43 am
grannyrose
oh, dear, mari. been there, hun. the surgery is relatively simple. the diagnostic test is painless.
3:43 am
puglet
Iam heading out of here until later--good night Rose and hugs and wish you a good day Mari---take care E1
3:43 am
grannyrose
xoxox, pugs
3:43 am
marigold
good to no
3:45 am
grannyrose
mari, you need to have the diagnostic test, first. your GP should be able to request it. the surgery? look for a plastic surgeon who specialises in hands.
3:46 am
marigold
I have been messaging my hands. That makes them feel a little. better.
3:47 am
grannyrose
mari, please don't leave it too late. my mother did...and ended up with a limp hand with no feeling in it.
3:50 am
marigold
does it ever come back. even after you have surgery
3:55 am
grannyrose
mari, i am nearly 10 years post-op. not back yet.
3:56 am
marigold
I have heard that it can happen again
3:57 am
grannyrose
mari, if the surgery is not done correctly the first time, it will re-occur.
3:58 am
marigold
I will go to the doctor If It doesn't feel better soon
3:59 am
grannyrose
carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the channel through which the carpal tendon runs, thickens, and the tendon gets stuck and won't move smoothly.
4:00 am
grannyrose
there is also a nerve involvement. hence the loss of sensation which happens.
4:01 am
grannyrose
mari, as soon as you start to lose sensation, please, please, act, and act fast.
4:03 am
marigold
thank you very much for the info. I think I will call my doctor
4:03 am
grannyrose
good for you, mari
4:09 am

((rosie))
4:12 am
grannyrose
hello my darling
4:14 am
grannyrose
have your email. don is giving me the absolute irrits. he claims to forget stuff, but he is only just about to turn 60. i think it's all an act. i could throttle him sometimes...lol
4:16 am
grannyrose
i really feel he is not making any effort. and if i, god forbid, forget something, it ia an occasion for losing his temper, and all sorts of accusations.
4:23 am
rubyfoo
I lost one set of keys and will never hear the end of it, so I know what you mean! But Don is so young to have memory issues.
4:24 am
grannyrose
that's what i mean, ruby. i think it's all a put-on. he does not want to make the effort.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
Maybe he thinks you were getting too much attention through all your physical trials and needs some coddling
4:27 am
grannyrose
yeah, good point. when we were married, i poured out attention on him...he is a pretty good hypochondriac...lately, i have thought, hey, i'm the one trying to recover from bone surgery...give me some support and sympathy, please.
4:28 am
rubyfoo
I think B. resents it when I hear from my son or my sister, although he pretends not
4:29 am
grannyrose
oh, that too, ruby. my kids keep in contact with me, voluntarily...his kids need a swift kick to contact him.
4:30 am
grannyrose
*sigh* for goodness sake! get over it!!
4:30 am
grannyrose
not you, ruby,. don!!
4:30 am
rubyfoo
they both need crossy's big foot
4:31 am
grannyrose
hey crossy??? we need your big foot....please
4:32 am
joso
big foot, is that some kind of euphanizim
4:33 am
grannyrose
ohhh, my goodness! look what the cat dragged in!! g'day sir joso.
4:33 am
rubyfoo
when I whine, crossy always sasys he should come and straighten out my husband lol
4:33 am
rubyfoo
and hello, joso
4:33 am
joso
g'day rose, ruby
4:33 am
grannyrose
crossy is going to be very busy...globe-trotting.
4:35 am
grannyrose
umm, joso? you might want to go into your profile. your icon looks nothing like you, crossy and flosey...lolol
4:35 am
rubyfoo
just found a nifty po7, horse-related, I think
4:36 am
rubyfoo
see you later, kids, on our way to lunch. I have to pick mint for the bartender.
4:36 am
grannyrose
nice, ruby. always good to keep the bartender in good spirits...lolol
4:37 am
joso
I only left that icon up for a few days, seemed too much like rubbing salt into wounds to leave it up
4:37 am
joso
enjoy the meal ruby
4:40 am
grannyrose
here tomorrow is Good Friday. we start the day with hot cross buns. then a church service, when the church is stripped of all ornamentation. the service is funereal. no red or white meat..only fish tomorrow. i make a special casserole of norwegian cog and rice.
4:41 am
grannyrose
*cod*...sorry
4:41 am
joso
gears and cogs are good fiber
4:41 am
grannyrose
well certainly lots of iron....
4:43 am
joso
will be good friday here too, but being a heathen I don't do anything about it
4:45 am
grannyrose
np's joso. each to his own. no judgement from me. just allow me to celebrate the way i would like to do.
4:45 am
joso
same view here
4:46 am
grannyrose
good!!! we are in agreement. how nice is that?
4:46 am
joso
so i gather your recovery is coming along well, I hear you've decided to return to work
4:47 am
sprite
hi joso *hugs* Great to see you. How have you been?
4:47 am
grannyrose
joso, i am going to attempt a return to work, starting the 29th april, for 2 hours only.
4:47 am
grannyrose
{{sprite}} how did it go?
4:47 am
joso
I'm good now, the surgery seems to have done wonders
4:48 am
grannyrose
nice to see, joso. three cheers from me.
4:48 am
sprite
awesome. We talked things through and we both think we can start wrapping things up. No unresolved issues left. Have decided to give it a few more sessions, talking things through, evaluating the therapy. Been with her for years and years.
4:48 am
sprite
am so glad, joso.
4:49 am
grannyrose
awww, love...what a mile-stone. {{hugs}}
4:49 am
joso
oooh sprite, time to take off life's training wheels, that's teriffic
4:49 am
sprite
isn't it? :D Am a bit high, lol, it gave me such a boost.
4:51 am
grannyrose
sprite...please slow down....smell the coffee and the roses...you do have great cause to feel high...but gently pull yourself up...and reflect...
4:52 am
sprite
oh, am gonna make myself some coffee after this grid, good idea!
4:52 am
grannyrose
xoxox sprite
4:53 am
joso
you've earned it, self examination is one of the toughest things to do, a few well deserved victory laps are absolutly in order
4:53 am
grannyrose
i am dancing...in my head...it is such an achievement.
4:54 am
sprite
thanks :) I have come a long way. I am by no means finished, but hell, nobody ever is. Am happy to be me and to be in this skin.
4:55 am
grannyrose
and that is a wonderful feeling, sprite. to be comfortable, in your own skin...
4:55 am
joso
well you've been working hard too rose, technicly heart trumps knee, but my cure was so easy for me, and you are still working hard on yours
4:56 am

lol, sue, ever since my brother moved down to Las vegas , he has gone hand gun crazy. We were talking camping one day and he goes on to say how he can now carry and carry concealed and has 5 handguns to bring. Just in case of animal attack. I said "yup, you never know when the chance will come up to go into overkill mode there, Rambo"

la5 is an alternate spelling of the word with an I at the end. And (of course) it's an obsolete coinage used around the Arabian sea. Those Enable dudes are just plain weird.

Soodle was here and talking. I feel for her. Luckily River will be there soon

I hope all is well with Soodle.

She is so very nice.
7:25 am

We all are sending our best wishes to her

Oh dear. I don't know what is up, but I will send prayers and good thoughts her way.

7:29 am

her profile isn't up--can you share what is the matter? (hi, all.)
7:30 am

I can't find her in the rankings.
7:30 am

I'll find it and copy and paste - brb

Hi RoundBarn!
7:30 am

go to rankings, hit Control F, type Soodle in and you will find it Roundbarn
7:31 am
bichon
You can send her an email to wish her well
7:32 am
MollyL
Soodle has removed the story from her profile. And I think it best we not discuss her personal issues here.
7:32 am
car.eeyore
I agree Molly.
7:32 am
Riverdance
yes she did remove it
7:33 am
bichon
Sorry, was just talking in general
7:33 am
Riverdance
since it is not public any more I dont feel confortable telling her story
7:33 am
car.eeyore
I need some more puppy advice, if anyone has the time.
7:34 am
MollyL
I know Bich, no worries. It's just that the whole thing was brought up and discussed in chat and I think personal issues are only for the person going through them to share.
7:34 am
Riverdance
I agree Molly
7:35 am
bichon
I do, been through many puppies
7:35 am
car.eeyore
Whining. Gak. Driving me nuts. I ignore it, but how do I get him to stop it?
7:35 am
car.eeyore
At night it is really bad.
7:36 am
bichon
How old is the puppy? If he was just separated from his mother, that is natural.
7:36 am
car.eeyore
four months and he has been with us for a month.
7:36 am
bichon
How about a hot water bottle to remind him of his mother's heat.
7:36 am
car.eeyore
We tried his crate in our bedroom last night and it was even worse.
7:37 am
bichon
4 months is old enough to be separate from his mother. We've always slept with our dogs, but I wouldn't suggest that if you don't want to do it forever
7:38 am
bichon
I wouldn't have his crate in your room if that made it worse.
7:38 am
car.eeyore
he is not fully potty trained and the cats eat the food in our bedroom, so I cannot let him just be free
7:39 am
car.eeyore
Right now, for instance, he is in his play area behind me. The cat was just there and he is whining for the cat, who has now moved on. I am ignoring him, but I would like him to stop whining.
7:39 am
bichon
I have to do something for a while. Can he sleep with the cats? I will be back after breakfast
7:39 am
bichon
How about some chew toy?
7:39 am
car.eeyore
Go eat! I will catch up with you later.
7:39 am
car.eeyore
he has one
7:40 am

bichon, I want to write to Soodle but I dont want to be insensitive. I just would like to know if anyone passed away in her family so I would know what to say.

72 Temple Owl
do you use basic orno ads? i can no longer trust beingable to logout and since i oftenuse that mail n a public library i am wary
11:07 am
MollyL
I use basic. I would never, ever use my email on a public computer and not sign out. You open yourself up to a world of hurt that way.
11:08 am
72 Temple Owl
nor would i. isign ou even at home. but the placement of ads makes it impossible more often than not.
11:08 am
72 Temple Owl
trying to sign out orfailing that to go to profile, just opens an ad.
11:09 am
MollyL
The sign out function in Yahoo mail is a drop down, from under your name at the top. The ads don't interfere with it.
11:10 am
72 Temple Owl
they do for me, especially the last week.
11:11 am

12:50 pm

NE 5/10 it is only a plural, Enomis.
12:50 pm
MollyL
Looks like he has no one to complain to since "they" say they can't do it during the day.
12:51 pm
MollyL
Which is BS, they just need to divert the traffic.
12:51 pm
rubyfoo
I complained about our mail being misdelivered to a parallel street (and the reverse) and the postman came whining to me today, saying I should have come to him. If I ever saw him, I would have, but it was twice in one week
12:51 pm
zoozzoom
It is only for 4 nights and this is the final night..i hope.
12:51 pm
Nicky6
"they" always screw things up
12:52 pm
Judi
Sounds like your postman needs to learn to read street signs. Or "Rue" signs, as it were.
12:52 pm
MollyL
4 nights of jackhammering would have me screaming in the street
12:53 pm
rubyfoo
He's new but it's such a cushy job here, he should be more careful. They have nifty little yellow cars. Our last carrier kept her little dog in a mail carton on the passenger seat
12:55 pm
zoozzoom
No excuse, Ruby, lol..if he can not read the street signs hate to think how he manages to read the addresses on the envelopes.
12:55 pm
Judi
Pffth. The US postal service is still driving trucks from 1940 something. Plus I think some of the employees actually compete with DMV employees to see who can be the most apathetic, rude and lazy.
12:55 pm
cybernan
te 6/24, please?
12:56 pm
rubyfoo
Do you still have Saturday delivery?
12:56 pm
zoozzoom
Not sure who you are asking, Ruby, but we do here in the UK.
12:56 pm
Judi
Yep. And they still have express delivery on Sunday.
12:56 pm
rubyfoo
I read that they were stopping it in the US
12:57 pm
MollyL
Well Judi, since the postal service and the DMV refuse to hire anyone but minority workers, it limits the possibility of a friendly work force.
12:57 pm
crosshair
feel fortunate. Everything here is going to super mailboxes at the end of the block. No more door to door. want your mail? get ready for a walk!
12:57 pm
rubyfoo
year ago, when I spent some time in Paris, there were 2 deliveries a day
12:58 pm
Judi
It's being threatened. I could care less. Less junk mail.
12:58 pm
MollyL
Not that all minority workers are unfriendly, but when you know you are getting handed a job, your capacity for being friendly is small.
12:58 pm
rubyfoo
here, they're not minorities, they just ca't read
12:58 pm
rubyfoo
but they probably type better than I do lol
12:59 pm
Nicky6
te +( a wired letter) or a teleg****
12:59 pm
Judi
Supposedly the DMV and USPS do criminal background checks before hiring. However, I've seen some highly "suspect" employees. Even if they are "clean", their sense of entitlement is criminal.
12:59 pm

I love real mail and since my sister (in NY) oesn't have a computer, I get mail from her

I help our postal employees. I save all the junk mail, including all those 3rd class postage paid, bulk return envelopes. Now when I get enough junk mail, I put it all in a box, grab a return envelope at random, tape it to the box, and mail the entire thing to one of those who sent it all in the first place. (remember, there is no weight restriction on those bulk pre-paid envelopes) Keeps our valued postal workers working and I do not fill up my recycle box quite as fast.

1:29 pm

Yes, but the object of the game (according to the HELP section) is:
To list as many words of the highest point value as YOU can find among the random assortment of letters in the cube grid.
1:30 pm

true but it doesn't specify how you are to find them :-)

hego
didn't like them, right?
1:34 pm

I think even the original "guidelines" or "agreed upon rules" have screwed the pooch. Used to be there was no cluing or stat giving at the flip. That seems to be a bygone thing.
1:34 pm
crosshair
though I did keep the rule not to eat yellow snow or spit into the wind
1:35 pm

My sister did throw my original fathers ashes into the air and they went straight into her face..i must admit..it was rather amusing.
1:36 pm

generally if you see STAT in nice bold letters, just give that, otherwise clue the heck out of that babblet!
1:36 pm

Scattering ashes is a very tricky business.
1:37 pm

And not as easy as it may seem.
1:37 pm

Round and round and round she goes
4:23 pm
Enomis65

4:24 pm
MollyL
Yep, people miss simple words like that all the time.
: D
4:24 pm
Enomis65

No, it's just what happens sometimes. : )
4:25 pm
Enomis65

MollyL
Alternate spelling for ____ The Looking Glass
4:27 pm
Enomis65

MollyL
I don't usually see that one right away since it is an improper spelling
4:33 pm

Goodnight Ruby, swwet dreams and tc.I didn't know you were here
5:14 pm
MollyL
You have to look in the bushes L. That is where people lurk.
5:17 pm
lilliann
Aye, but when i lurk and don't chat at all i don't come and say bye or fireworks when i haven't spoken...but then that's me
5:18 pm
rururocks
HI ... bye .. *relurk*
5:19 pm
lilliann
Hi Ru, my little sarcastic friend:)
5:20 pm
rururocks
me? sarcastic?
5:20 pm
lilliann
No, never....
5:20 pm
MollyL
Say hello to my little friend
5:21 pm
lilliann
Well, i've never met him, he could big or small!!
5:21 pm
lilliann
In height that is...
5:22 pm
MollyL
That's a line from the movie Scarface L.
5:23 pm
lilliann
I've never seen it...it doesn't sound like my type of film
5:24 pm
MollyL
Probably not. Guys love it. It's dark, gory and violent.
5:24 pm
rururocks
I ain't little that's for sure
5:25 pm
rururocks
it's an okay film.. not Pacino's best
5:26 pm
rururocks
I love the helicopter touring scene though :D
5:26 pm
rururocks
<----sicko
5:27 pm
MollyL
Our very own Dr. Demento. Oh wait, that's someone else. : P
5:27 pm
lilliann
I think it was on Sky here a few weeks ago and i read the highlights but it wasn't for me...i like some violent and gory things
5:27 pm
rururocks
yeah.. you'd have to past tense that one molly
5:36 pm
rururocks
it's a pretty violent film in parts lillian
5:36 pm
rururocks
especially the hotel scene with the bathtub
5:37 pm
MollyL
I want to know what violent and gory things L likes. (Maybe I don't)
5:38 pm
lilliann
When i was watching something else and the adverts came on i did watch bits of that film, and then turn it back
5:39 pm
rururocks
I generally don't like gory movies either
5:40 pm
rururocks
..and I don't lurk in bushes :D
5:41 pm
lilliann
I don't watch overly violent things.Some of the British films can be violent.i can't think of the one or two with Jason Statham and they were too much for me...I don't want to see men's heads knocked off their shoulders by baseball bats or kicked to death...i know that has happened in real life but i don't want to see it in a film
5:41 pm
MollyL
Do you oogle? Do you notice people?
5:42 pm
lilliann
I like Bones, especially when i'm eating my dinner:)
5:42 pm
lilliann
I did like the Nightmare on Elm Street films
5:43 pm
rururocks
*gets papertowels .. h20 accident*
5:44 pm
MollyL
Bones has gotten boring. And it's lost it's gore appeal.
5:44 pm
rururocks
glad I read your comment carefully and recognized the tv show :D
5:45 pm
lilliann
What series do you have now as we are normally behind ...with the series...(as Ru is here)
5:47 pm
lilliann
OMG, i've just realized the ammo i gave to Ru:(
5:48 pm
jaxx7
relax, Lilliann. Ru can fidnd ammo where others wouldn't.
5:48 pm
lilliann
Hi Jaxx :D
5:49 pm
rururocks
well.. behind is usually the way it happens :D
5:49 pm
jaxx7
Got WWI sorted then?
5:49 pm
MollyL
Oh, you ammo finder you.
5:49 pm
lilliann
Aye you're right..he's a LITTLE ammo finder:)
5:49 pm
rururocks
<---shell shocked
5:50 pm
MollyL
Watch, next L will start using the word premature.
5:52 pm
lilliann
I give up!!:)
5:52 pm
rururocks
that depends on how excited she gets
5:52 pm
MollyL
Oh hush. She will start talking about her hirsute cats again.
5:54 pm
lilliann
no Jaxx, as the bairn wants the computor now for a few minutes...she says so she can get some pictures up.(by the way, she's not normally up this late but it is school hols and she wants to finish this project.....scrap book....it's going to be bigger than the bloody bible!!
5:55 pm
lilliann
*sorry for swearing...
5:55 pm
jaxx7
The BBC are in full WWI mode at the moment. Your daughter should try bbc.co.uk
5:56 pm
jaxx7
My grandson uses worse!
5:57 pm
MollyL
L, we Americans don't really consider "bloody" swearing.
5:57 pm
lilliann
We've recorded them, and she's seen some of them and then got things from the internet and not written everything out in her own hand writing
6:01 pm
lilliann
I said bloody in a shop today when i was telling the bairn off at the till and felt really bad, as i hate hearing parents swear at their children and up here, i've heard loads of parents f and blind at their bairns and i just want to say to them 'excuse me, can you not speak the English language without speaking'?
6:02 pm
lilliann
back soon as i'm getting nagged...
6:02 pm
jaxx7
Several of Nigel's relatives died in WWI. His great grandmother lost three of four sons. Their names are on the local war memorial. An awful waste of good men.
6:02 pm
MollyL
I find it hard to speak the English language without speaking
6:03 pm
jaxx7
be fuddle them, Lilli, ask them not to speak Anglo saxon swear words in front of you.
6:05 pm
jaxx7
it shows a lack of intelligence when they can't find descriptive words in the English language, one of the richest languages in the world.
6:07 pm
jaxx7
I am of the old school. I find it offensive to me when folk swear even when it is not directed at me. I turn off movies where every other word is a swear word. The English schoolgirls seem to be the worst offenders here
6:09 pm
jaxx7
I am finding this grid hard.
6:09 pm
rururocks
*one less viewer for Martin Scorcese*
6:10 pm
MollyL
And Quentin Tarantino. I'm guessing Pulp Fiction would not be Jaxx's cup of Earl Grey.
6:11 pm
lilliann
Am back as i upset the bairn...what's new!!
6:11 pm
lilliann
*i meant swearing:)
6:11 pm
jaxx7
Earl Grey isn't my cup of chai anyway
6:11 pm

6:14 pm
rururocks
<joke was worth the PB penalty :D
6:14 pm
jaxx7
One thing she doesn't do id no4
6:15 pm
lilliann
Jaxx, that is so sad about Nigel's grandmother's sons..One is bad enough, but 3...That poor women, what she must have gone through
6:16 pm
jaxx7
I really don't know. Losing three and all buried abroad as one was never found
6:16 pm
lilliann
Phone..hubby
6:18 pm
jaxx7
That is an interesting side to WWI - the cemeteries and monuments. perhaps your daughter could research them. They are still kept so beautifully after all this time
6:20 pm
MollyL
Hey Jaxx, you've been around a long time. Any interest in becoming a registered member?
6:21 pm
MollyL
Oh, sorry. The "lack of profile" confused me.
6:21 pm
jaxx7
For some reason I have no profile tho I have filled one out. I get the firework display and the stats but my name remains black
6:22 pm
ALC
Grandma in Italian is a five letter word not four
6:23 pm
jaxx7
No4 is a sleeping sickness not an Italian grandma
6:24 pm
jaxx7
Molly perhaps i should contact Dr God
6:26 pm
Babs1
my name is also name for grandma in some European countries so I'm told.
6:27 pm
jaxx7
I am getting nowhere fast with this grid. 45 left.

6:30 pm
jaxx7
It has gone past midnight here so I think I will go to my bed. Say bye to Lilliann for me. Bye all
6:30 pm
Babs1
isn't it late out your way..prefer babble to sleep?
6:31 pm
jaxx7
I spend the day doing housework and the evening do e-mails and then babble
6:31 pm
jaxx7
I must go tho. Bye again
6:32 pm
Babs1
what about you ruru?
6:33 pm
rururocks
I sleep
6:33 pm
rururocks
I try to wrap up babble daily however.. being a total addict
6:34 pm
rururocks
I email hundreds of emails daily no matter where I am.. so it's not late here anyway. I'm just chillin' at the end of my day :D
6:35 pm
rururocks
thinking about going for a walk and doing some errands
6:36 pm
rururocks
I guess I like talking to myself a lot too :D
6:37 pm
MollyL
You want to come color Easter eggs with us? I swear, I would do that every year even if I lived by myself.
6:38 pm
lilliann
Am back..Jaxx, she has already written and has photos about the different monumnets for the dead soldiers and the missing ones and about poppies and how they came about
6:39 pm
lilliann
Oh, i missed saying goodnight to Jaxx
6:39 pm
MollyL
OH NO!!!!!
6:40 pm
lilliann

MollyL
You never know, he might have mad knees too.
6:44 pm
rururocks
..sore knees
6:45 pm
MollyL
Oh that's right. Not mad knees, bad knees.
6:45 pm
rururocks
all those years of begging
6:48 pm
MollyL
*Cough* Probably not a good idea to get into a discussion of the causes of bad knees.
6:49 pm

7:03 pm
cosdem
i cant im supposed to be very very ill.
7:03 pm
rururocks
we wouldn't know cos.. I will keep my lips sealed
7:03 pm
Lizlin
So I'm supposed to wish you better?
7:04 pm
cosdem
at least thats what my boss thinks
7:04 pm
cosdem
wasnt feeling well yesterday so took both days off. feeling ok today lol
7:04 pm
rururocks
I heard your boss was a new member here
7:04 pm
lilliann
Lets hope he or anyone he knows babbles then Cos!
7:05 pm
Lizlin
Do you have legal sick days in the US. One of the strange things here, well to me at least, is that they have 2 weeks sick leave every year, so take sickies when they want.
7:05 pm
cosdem
im a state employee...
7:05 pm
lilliann
Glad you are feeling better Cos:)
7:05 pm
rururocks
we have sickies around here all the time Liz :D
7:05 pm
lilliann
HI Liz :D
7:05 pm
Lizlin
Hi Lilli :)
7:06 pm
cosdem
oh we get a few personal days and we can save our OT pay for days when we want to call in sick
7:06 pm
Lizlin
Sure, you take sickies in England too - but not planned ones, where you tell them in advance that you're taking a sickie!
7:06 pm
MollyL
Most employers here offer 5 to 10 days of sick leave, depending on how long you have worked the job.
7:06 pm
cosdem
i get 1 sick day for every 30 days
7:06 pm
cosdem
carries over to next year as well..
7:07 pm
Lizlin
Like my friend says, I'm taking a sickie next Monday - and tells her boss that.
7:07 pm
MollyL
The phrase "take sickies" is KILLING me.
7:07 pm
rururocks
I never get sick
7:07 pm
Lizlin
It's an Aussie phrase, I think.
7:07 pm
Lizlin
Abbreviate everything here.
7:07 pm
cosdem
a co worker saved up all his sick days never calling in.. now he has enough sick days to call in sick for 6 months til he retires. nice.
7:07 pm
MollyL
Or it ends in o, y or ies
7:08 pm
rururocks
or an a
7:08 pm
Lizlin
And call people with red hair, blue-y!
7:09 pm
MollyL
I think it's slightly abnormal to never take a sick day
7:09 pm
rururocks
that's so funny that's what we call monica lewinski
7:09 pm
lilliann
I think?well it was when i worked that you got 14 days sick with pay...i'm not sure now
7:09 pm
Lizlin
Anyway, glad you're feeling better, Cos.
7:09 pm
cosdem
I agree Molly! unhealthy too
7:09 pm
cosdem
thanks liz :)
7:10 pm
rururocks
I take sicko days
7:10 pm
Lizlin
In teaching, we could take time when we were sick but there weren't specific days. Self certification after 3 days and medical certificate from doctor after 5 days.
7:10 pm
Lizlin
Still got paid in full.
7:10 pm
lilliann
But unless we had a doctors note we couldn't say how long we'd be off for
7:11 pm
cosdem
we are allowed to call in 4 days in a row without them batting an eye
7:11 pm
MollyL
I'm going to figure out how to incorporate "take a sickie" into my vocabulary. It will have nothing to do with sick days though.
7:11 pm
cosdem
but the 5th day you have to have a note lol
7:11 pm
Lizlin
Let us know when you've figured it out, Molly.
7:11 pm
MollyL
I think it's insulting for an employer to demand a doctor's note.
7:12 pm
cosdem
I have a case of workers comp. and now i have to go to the doctor every 2 weeks to get the OK to stay working
7:12 pm
Lizlin
I agree - it means a lack of trust - but then again, I know some people who would've taken full advantage of that.
7:13 pm
cosdem
a kid chipped a tooth so i had to get it fixed by the dentist .. and doing WC is soooooooo complicated.
7:13 pm
MollyL
Workmen's comp is such BS. They will do anything not to pay.
7:13 pm
cosdem
they surprisingly enough approved my case
7:14 pm
cosdem
already had the procedure done. just have to go to follow ups
