Greetings Friends

1:11 am

melonheadjujube

tx. My son is going thru another rough patch. Staying with his dad, just a mile away. At least my ex and I are talking. Son is restless and not pleasant to be around, alas.

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

Hi pug! Cute icon!

1:12 am

melonheadjujube

hiya puggy-wuggy!

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry, mel, I know that must be really tough for you.

1:12 am

puglet

Hi Dee and Melon :)

1:13 am

puglet

thanks Dee--was just going to ask Melon how your son was doing

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

he 7 x 2

1:17 am

melonheadjujube

It wears on me. His kindness and sense of humor are not so apparent these days. He's very needy. I need to call his case manager and see what programs might help him.

1:17 am

melonheadjujube

and thanks for thinking of us.

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

Sounds like he does ne4 that kind of support / encouragement.

1:18 am

rururocks

case manager?

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

he 7 x 3

1:18 am

puglet

sorry things are so tough for you Melon--how are you? Last we talked you were not feeling well and Hi Ru

1:19 am

melonheadjujube

I'm doing great physically. My replaced hip feels ten years younger than the rest of me :D

1:20 am

melonheadjujube

Ru, my son has mental health issues. The case manager's job is basically one-stop shopping to match him with programs and services.

1:20 am

puglet

thats good! Happy for you

1:20 am

rururocks

oh.. ok.. got it

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

congrats on the hip, mel!

1:20 am

rururocks

nice your ex is nearby to help and give you a break

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

Alsom I'm practicing for a musicale our synagogue puts on. I'm learning a few piano solos, and accompanying an oboist. All in all about 20 minutes of music to learn. Enjoying practicing.

1:22 am

puglet

well that kind of helps take your mind off of things for a short time anyway

1:23 am

melonheadjujube

For once, ruru. This is the first time in years he's been civil to me. Both my daughter and my ex now understand what I'd been through over the last few years. What's sad is that my son's symptoms came on rather suddenly around age 20, just as he had seemed to be doing well. This is not uncommon. Early 20s is a vulnerable time.

1:23 am

melonheadjujube

pug, music is my #1 therapy.

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

Love that you will get to play in the musicale! The timing of that is perfect!

1:24 am

melonheadjujube

Thanks, VMD re: hip. That operation is a miracle. I'm happiest for the simplest thingâ€”that I go to bed not in pain, and wake up not in pain. Prior to the operation this was not true.

1:24 am

melonheadjujube

If any of the musicale is recorded, I will mos def post.

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

Fabulous!! I would love to hear it!

1:25 am

puglet

that would be nice, Melon

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

Some day I think I will be needing a left hip replacement; just starting to have some twinges... hope it is later, rather than sooner, but it is really nice to hear how well you are doing.

1:27 am

rururocks

you'll have to time it when lickety is around dee :D

1:27 am

melonheadjujube

The newer antero-lateral and anterior approaches are muscle-sparing with a much faster recovery time and fewer restrictions. My hip was bone-on-bone arthritic. Good news is the other hip is fine.

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

I hope it is many years off, ru. I think my lower spine will be the first issue to handle.

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

Fantastic, mel. Surprised both were not affected.

1:28 am

puglet

do they have back replacements? I need one of those-lol

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

I definitely believe in surgery as a last resort. LOL, pug., maybe someday. We live in the orthopaedic capital of the world, so unless Obamacare destroys healthcare completely with all of the taxations on orthopedic products, hopefully, the companies will continue to develop amazing products to help us as we age.

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

The newer hips were developed in our town :)

1:31 am

melonheadjujube

I had a previously un diagnosed dysplasia of R hip, which aggravated the arthritis. The replacement corrects that. As a kid, I used to be able to pop that hip out of its socket which other kids thought was hilarious. I guess I never showed that neat trick to any grown up.

1:31 am

rururocks

hipsofacto?

1:31 am

melonheadjujube

Anyway, at my follo-up appointment, they took x-rays of both hips and I asked the surgeon how my left hip looked. He showed me the nice layer of cartilage on that joint, so no worries (:

1:31 am

rururocks

one of my knees is really arthritic

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

lol, ru! Really interesting, mel. You could have charged $ for tickets :)

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

I am stuck, stuck... hate to go to lickety with 74 left.

1:32 am

rururocks

I hate getting older

1:33 am

melonheadjujube

hipsterical, ru. Sorry about your knee. Funny thing is I had knee pain, too, which was immediately relieved by the hip replacement. Referred pain is a weird thing.

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

my hubbies knees are like that ru; he babies them, hoping he can avoid replacements for awhile. Fortunately right now he isn't dealing with pain like you are.

1:34 am

melonheadjujube

Getting old is not for sissies. All I want is to be able to walk, and keep my own teeth. That's my futile bargain with God.

1:34 am

melonheadjujube

ruru, I thought you were 20!

1:34 am

rururocks

its all those years of begging I guess :D

1:35 am

rururocks

jeez dee. I'm stuck at 93

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

not 93 years, ru?

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

teehee

1:44 am

hootowl

I keep telling the morons that if they start shooting during oh say a bank robbery, they will be killed too!

1:44 am

melonheadjujube

I don't know that Target allows it so much as they've been targeted. So to speak.

1:45 am

melonheadjujube

I still shop at my local Target. It's two blocks away, and it's a nice store.

1:45 am

hootowl

What has Target done now?

1:45 am

rururocks

you didn't read about it in the papers hoot?

1:45 am

puglet

they closed all of our target stores some years ago around here

1:46 am

melonheadjujube

Target hasn't done anything. There's open-carry firearms types who tote their rods in Target stores.

1:46 am

hootowl

It's been kinda crazy around here!...Know about the credit cards.

1:46 am

rururocks

2:22 am

grannyrose

both of us just plain tired. don's migraine eventuated, and he was throwing up yesterday. me, i don't know what's happening. i think i have caught pugs' blues.

2:22 am

puglet

oh and thanks Wor for the imfo I asked

2:22 am

worzel

((hugs)) to Mum and hoping it's not me that's upset you xx

2:23 am

puglet

oh no Rose--so sorry--want to cry and tell us

2:23 am

grannyrose

lol, how could you, mate. no, it's workcover insurance people. they are saying that because of my fibromyalgia they don't think they have to cover my injury. i am definitely on the way to a lawyer now.

2:24 am

worzel

Cheeky buggers - I hate insurance companies, always trying to find a way out of their responsibilities

2:24 am

puglet

they didnt say that! No wonder you are blue Rose--its one thing then another

2:25 am

grannyrose

i simply cannot do anything for more than 45 minutes max. then my hips start to ache, and my back muscles spasm.

2:25 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

2:25 am

puglet

and dont let them push you Rose

2:25 am

Lizlin

Sorry to read that about work cover, Rose :(

2:25 am

puglet

Howdy Liz, hugs

2:26 am

grannyrose

which is fibromyalgia....but it was un5 control before i fell, and it has definitely got worse since the surgery. i think i am going to have to sue, and get a payout.

2:26 am

worzel

ok I'll be back in a bit - hopefully - storms kicking in and me dog's going up the wall so I'm off to try and keep him calm. Take care y'all and have fun and Mum I hope you are feeling brighter soon and glad Dad's head is better. Love & hugs folks xx *poof*

2:26 am

grannyrose

oh, liz, dear. lovely to see you. how are things going for you, hun?

2:27 am

puglet

I would to Rose after trying to pull this crap on you

2:27 am

puglet

be safe Wor

2:27 am

Lizlin

All's good here, thanks but becomes less good when I read about all the rubbish you're putting up with.

2:27 am

Lizlin

Have a good day, worz :)

2:28 am

grannyrose

oh, and i sent that message to eldest son, congratulating him on the imminent birth of his daughter. that was 36 hours ago. haven't heard boo from the b****r.

2:28 am

Lizlin

Problems, perhaps?

2:29 am

grannyrose

ah, liz, i'm just letting off steam...if i thought my news was going to bring people down i wouldn't share.please don't be sad on my account. just a little sympathy and a cuppa will suffice. ;-P

2:30 am

puglet

all this worrying is not going to help you Rose---try to calm down and breath--loving hugs

2:30 am

Lizlin

No, I meant it in terms of sympathy - lots of it.

2:31 am

puglet

Rose you listen all the time to my woes, its the least I can do to listen to yours--so go on and vent

2:31 am

grannyrose

liz, this is the son who divorced me 15 years ago. and he is saying how upset he is because i haven't acknowledged to him about his soon-to-be- born child.

2:31 am

grannyrose

thanx dearest pugs, and liz. i knew you would un5stand.

2:32 am

Lizlin

Grrr! That was a really lovely thing of you to do Rose, to send the congrats. Oh and the grrrr was at him, not you!

2:32 am

puglet

is this not the same son thats dont want you to be yourself and only wants you to be happy-go-lucky all the time

2:33 am

grannyrose

the news of this grandchild is like telling me john smith, over the other side of town is expecting a baby. i really don't care any more. i have grieved and wept for him. now it's time for me to move forward.

2:33 am

grannyrose

yes pugs, the one and the same

2:33 am

Lizlin

That's a good attitude but I still think it was lovely of you to wish him congrats, considering the circumstances.

2:35 am

puglet

I think you have done as much as you can there and letting go maybe the only medicine for you to do Rose as sad as it is

2:35 am

grannyrose

well, it was don's idea. he is so wise. he said if there was a negative response to just ignore it. so i am...i consider no acknowledgement as negative. i have held my hand out yet again, and it has been bitten. no more!!

2:36 am

Lizlin

His problem - doesn't matter whose idea but good for Don :)

2:36 am

grannyrose

sooo, which one of you lovely people are gonna come over here and make my bed for me? it's clean sheets day.

2:36 am

puglet

my thinking is that they or he should be supporting you a bit through all you have been through--thats just my thought on it

2:36 am

puglet

fly me over and I will-lol

2:36 am

Lizlin

Is it warmer there than here??? No! Then I'm afraid not ;)

2:37 am

puglet

I done mine yesterday

2:37 am

Lizlin

Same here!

2:38 am

grannyrose

yeah, well, pugs. my mother always said, sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.

2:38 am

puglet

washed all the bed clothes and hung them out in the sunshine and they smelt so good

2:38 am

Lizlin

btw Rose - I saw your QI comments from yesterday. We saw that last night. So funny. And yes, I'm afraid I knew 7 sheep!

2:39 am

puglet

well I say what goes around comes around sooner or later

2:39 am

gapeach

May I please have a clue for sc8-45? Thankns

2:40 am

Lizlin

Think of a cinema, Peach - the person who shows the movie.

2:40 am

puglet

He just may get a taste of his own medicine Rose when his children grows up and lets see how he f5 about that then

2:41 am

Lizlin

I agree Pugs - they say, what goes around, comes around.

2:41 am

grannyrose

sc8, sc + **roy brown, the meannest kid in town + my name. then past tense for sc9

2:41 am

gapeach

Thanks Liz.....my bad....I should have said sc8-45 the 1st.....sorry.

2:42 am

grannyrose

pick me, pick me..peach

2:42 am

Lizlin

np, Peach - I'm now looking at the other clue!

2:42 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Rose :)

2:42 am

Uneaixoise

hello, all, and tx for the great clues! :-)

2:43 am

Lizlin

Hi Une :)

2:43 am

Lizlin

Love the pic of Lincoln

2:43 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

2:43 am

puglet

I had a friend I showed horses with and her horse's reg. name was Pick me Please-lol

2:43 am

puglet

Hi Une

2:43 am

Lizlin

2:43 am

Uneaixoise

2:44 am

puglet

grannyrose

*giggle* pugs. and g'day une

2:44 am

Uneaixoise

2:45 am

Uneaixoise

am transporting a young lab girl today . . . Lady Mariam :-)

2:45 am

Lizlin

Love labs

2:45 am

puglet

I had a lab like that as a kid named Johnny and dad gave him away and he came all the way back home and I then got to keep him-lol

2:46 am

puglet

they are smart and loving dogs

2:46 am

Uneaixoise

oh, wow, pug

2:46 am

Lizlin

Just like The Incredible Journey, pugs.

2:46 am

Lizlin

That film always makes me cry

2:46 am

puglet

our old neighbors had two red or chocolate labs

2:47 am

puglet

just about Liz-lol

2:47 am

Uneaixoise

labs are sooo sweet . . . and gentle . . . and affectionate

2:48 am

worzel

Have come back for a little bit - lull in the storm and the dog is quiet again

2:48 am

Lizlin

My bro had a choccy lab - she died in December. She was pretty old though. She used to support me when I went downstairs, when I stayed there recovering after surgery.

2:48 am

puglet

they are and great family pets too and good with kids

2:48 am

Uneaixoise

aawwww, liz

2:48 am

puglet

glad you made it through Wor and welcome back

2:48 am

Lizlin

She would wait outside my room in the morning - soooo cute.

2:49 am

grannyrose

wb, worzel

2:49 am

worzel

ty mum xx

2:49 am

worzel

ty pug xx

2:49 am

puglet

how nice Liz

2:49 am

grannyrose

did i ever tell you about my kelpie/lab cross i got from the RSPCA?

2:50 am

Lizlin

Nooooo - do please.

2:50 am

puglet

not that I recall Rose

2:50 am

Uneaixoise

glad your dog's calmed down, worzel -- one of mine is sooo scared of thunder and lightning

2:51 am

grannyrose

he grew to 4' at the shoulder, and could stretch to the top of an 8' door. he was a black shepherd, or groenendahl(sp)

2:51 am

Lizlin

stats for the other 9s pls?

2:51 am

Lizlin

Biiiiig!

2:51 am

Uneaixoise

good grief, rose!

2:51 am

puglet

oh a big dog!

2:51 am

grannyrose

just a little case of mistaken identity, methinks

2:51 am

worzel

Une my dog is demented, I swear. Any little noise and he goes off like a firework. Trouble is he don't shut up for half an hour!

2:52 am

Uneaixoise

aw, worzel

2:52 am

grannyrose

te9, follows in te string of te 4, 6, 8, 9, 7, 5

2:52 am

puglet

what kind do you have Wor

2:52 am

worzel

he's a west highland terrier

2:53 am

Lizlin

Thanks, hadn't plural-ed the the 8

2:53 am

puglet

thats common for terriers to be yappers

2:53 am

grannyrose

it was hysterical. i also had a dingo-cross who was much smaller. strangers would be eying him off, and she would duck behind them and bite their heels.

2:54 am

puglet

cross with what Rose

2:55 am

worzel

I've always owned dogs, but never had one that moans and grumbles as much as this one. Di makes me laugh 'cos it's her dog, really (she got him b4 I came here) but whenever he's naughty or annoying she says "Well he's your dog!" - dunno if she's trying to palm him off on me or just saying that he's naughty like me! The latter, I suspect lmao

2:55 am

grannyrose

uh-oh, worzel, i have been told that those a the most stubborn, obstinate, ornery little so-and-so's that God ever created.

2:55 am

worzel

Mum you ain't wrong there!

2:56 am

grannyrose

pugs, she was dingo/staffy terrier cross. and we think a bit of doberman thrown in as well.

2:57 am

Uneaixoise

wow -- what a combo! LOL

2:59 am

puglet

some years ago in our newspaper someone placed a add in it for a lost cat and said it came to the sound of a can opener--I havent ever forgotten that--I thought it was funny-lol

2:59 am

Uneaixoise

cute! :-)

2:59 am

grannyrose

smart as, une. you only had to tell her once, and she would cotton on so fast. where the black shepherd, well she ran rings around him. the number of times she tricked him, was amazing.

3:00 am

Lizlin

Must've given you a lot of smiles watching them.

3:01 am

grannyrose

absolutely. we all used to laugh so hard. and she would sit there with her doggy smile, loving it, and he would be running around as if to say, what happened, did i miss something?

3:01 am

Lizlin

Who me look on its face?

3:02 am

grannyrose

yeah, that one

3:02 am

grannyrose

it was so funny

3:02 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

3:02 am

Lizlin

Can imagine.

3:03 am

worzel

Mum can I ask a question?

3:03 am

puglet

last night I brought home a treat for each of the dogs and Annapooh was behind me with heres and after a bit I turned around and she had two---she had stollen poor Beulah's(the great dane) and Beulah was afraid to come pass her but was giving me the saddest look--so had to get hers and put her outdoors to enjoy-lol

3:03 am

grannyrose

we had polished wood floors. she would nip him and race down the steps and hide behind the pantry in the kitchen. as he went by, she would dart out and nip him again. his back feet would overtake his front feet in his effort to stop and get back at her.

3:04 am

grannyrose

go ahead, worzel

3:04 am

worzel

Mum a certain you-know-who has been very quiet for a couple weeks. I know you said there were a couple new names to be aware of but I haven't seen them. Has it all died down now?

3:05 am

grannyrose

not sure, worzel. they were on the other night. but they have certainly left me alone. strange that!!

3:06 am

sarah6girls

morning :)

3:06 am

Lizlin

Well, I'm really glad they're leaving you alone.

3:06 am

worzel

ok that's cool. Well, apart from that email I got (which everybody got lol) I've not had any more trouble so let's hope it's all gone away xx

3:06 am

Uneaixoise

hi, sarah :-)

3:06 am

worzel

Good morning sarah xx

3:06 am

puglet

I havent seen no new names either but sometimes Iam blind to that

3:06 am

Lizlin

Hi Sarah :)

3:06 am

puglet

Hi sarah

3:07 am

grannyrose

uh-oh, sarah. i am so ashamed...i owe you a loooong email. i really will make an effort over the next few days, sweetie.

3:07 am

worzel

omg I have just seen a life-size chess board on ebay! I want! I want!!!

3:07 am

sarah6girls

it ok rose am going send you one monday when girlies are at school

3:08 am

puglet

you play chess Wor?

3:08 am

grannyrose

and where are you going to put it, worzel? hmmmm??

3:09 am

puglet

in the garden Rose-lol

3:09 am

worzel

oh pugs you'd laugh. I had never played chess and then about 10 years ago my ex-wife, an expert in chess, showed me how to play one night. I beat her in the first game in about 5 minutes and nobody's ever beaten me since. To be fair though it's the only game I am able to win lol. As for where I'd put it - trust me, I'd find space!!!

3:11 am

puglet

I like chess but not real good at it for no one around here plays it---and I like checkers too got a blue ribbon on that game in school

3:11 am

puglet

good for you Wor---got to have pretty good smarts to win like that in that game

3:12 am

worzel

Talking of not being able to win, dunno if checkers is the same as draughts but I sooo cannot win at draughts! Can't win at dominoes, either. Mind you, I am good at a card game called Bezique. Any of you ever heard of that?

3:12 am

puglet

not I

3:12 am

Lizlin

Have heard of it but not played it.

3:13 am

worzel

Trouble with Bezique is once you've learnt to play it it is so addictive. I've sat and played it for 8 hours straight before now

3:14 am

puglet

is that game on the computer Wor

3:15 am

Lizlin

card game, I thought.

3:15 am

Lizlin

Ooops! Worz said that! Ignore that comment!

3:16 am

puglet

I was just wondering if they told or showed how to play it on the computer

3:16 am

worzel

I don't think there is a computerised game of it pugs. It was originally a Russian invented game. It's a 2-player card game. A lot of people give up on it because they think the instructions are too difficult but they're no tougher than poker - actually it's easier than poker. It's also difficult to find a Bezique game nowadays as they don't make it anymore, but you can find them quite easily on ebay

3:16 am

Lizlin

I realised that after i hit enter!

3:17 am

grannyrose

okay, seeing as none of you are beating down my door to remake my bed for me, i had best go and do it myself....;-P

3:17 am

Lizlin

Taking a break - hugs to all :)

3:17 am

puglet

hugs Liz

3:17 am

worzel

They do probably show you how to play somewhere online, but you have to actually have a proper Bezique game because you need 2 packs of cards and you only use the 7,8,9,10,jack q k and ace

3:17 am

Uneaixoise

me too, liz -- taking pups out to pee -- back in a bit :-)

3:17 am

worzel

and marker cards

3:17 am

puglet

hurry back Rose

3:17 am

puglet

bye Une

3:18 am

worzel

Mum don't go make your bed if you're gonna make it untidy again later! (giggles)

3:18 am

puglet

I will check it out Wor

3:19 am

worzel

Be careful though Pugs - it's VERY addictive lol

3:20 am

puglet

okay, will take the warning Wor-lol You and Di got big plans for your week end

3:22 am

worzel

Not really. I'm going to make some bread in a minute though - ooooo the excitement!! We don't need plans though, just each other xx

3:22 am

puglet

your cinn. bread?

3:23 am

worzel

Not today just a normal loaf. I love the smell and taste of proper bread

3:24 am

puglet

what is your time different from ours Wor--its almost 4:30 am saturday morn here

3:25 am

worzel

it's almost 9.30am saturday morning here. How comes funder isn't allowed?

3:26 am

puglet

oh your time is close to Sprite's then

3:26 am

worzel

Yes - France and UK are an hour apart for 6 months, and then when the clocks change I believe we are on the same time for 6 months

3:27 am

puglet

are yours and Sprite's seasons the same too

3:27 am

rbud

hi all! can I get a nudge for the i ?

3:28 am

puglet

Hi Rbud-long time no see--how are you

3:28 am

puglet

I dont have it but Rose should be back in a few

3:29 am

rbud

oh, a little tired, but okay. had a bad few days, Hubby in the hospital, but he's out and doing okay now.

3:29 am

worzel

Our seasons are the same, but depending on Sprites location the weather in the summer is probably different there. Northern France has the same weather as us, usually, but Southern France generally has warmer weather than the UK. Mind you, the UK being a small-ish island our weather can be extremely bizarre. It can be 80 degrees in the South of the UK and 500 miles North it can be 40 degrees. Such a weird country

3:29 am

worzel

Good morning rbud xx

3:30 am

worzel

brb

3:30 am

puglet

hope it wasent anything too awful bad rbud with your hubby

3:32 am

rbud

well - it could have been. he had a mild heart attack, I guess. Tachycardia - superfast heart rate, and I drove him to the ER. no point in waiting around for our "first responders" in this little town, I just went.

3:33 am

grannyrose

back. rbud. is8, is + vowel + 3 letter word meaning before + not south west. then plural for is9

3:33 am

puglet

Iam glad all worked out well Rbud

3:33 am

puglet

and hope you find time to get re6 up

3:34 am

rbud

they've got him on something that's supposed to help with both his heart and his slightly high blood pressure, but are not sure what caused it.

3:34 am

grannyrose

good for you rbud. and i am so glad he has pulled through, again.

3:34 am

puglet

welcome back Rose

3:35 am

grannyrose

thanx, hun. bed all made. just need a shower, and dinner.

3:35 am

rbud

thanks for the help, got it! :)

3:35 am

grannyrose

yay, rbud. well done, you

3:36 am

puglet

feeling any better Rose

3:36 am

Jivingjenny0

Good morning all, I have just read the back chog about playing chess. My 14 year old grandson has been banned from the chess club at school as nobody including the teachers has ever managed to beat him. Oh by the way can I have a clue for the O in the 5th column please

3:37 am

puglet

Hi Jenny--that stinks and unfair i think

3:38 am

rbud

I have oh4, a past tense.

3:39 am

Jivingjenny0

I agree puglet, but when he was 11 and beating 17 amd 18 year olds they did not like it!!

3:39 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks rbud I now have nbt and nbs and almost half way

3:39 am

puglet

you would think the school would be proud of him and promote his skills

3:40 am

rbud

yw! :)

3:41 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs, i am feeling better. and jenny, what were they thinking?? surely it's a feather in the school's cap to have such a whiz of a chess player. more kudos to your grandson!!

3:42 am

puglet

Iam glad Rose--maybe you will rest better tonight

3:43 am

dizgrannie

Jiving...oo 5/10 for that O

3:44 am

Jivingjenny0

He has Asbergers and wouldn't be able to realise that people don't like to loose and would be quite vocal about their failings and I think that is the trouble.

3:44 am

grannyrose

am hoping so, dear. i find i usually get a reasonable night after a really bad one. i might just up the ante on the pain meds tonight.

3:44 am

Jivingjenny0

thank you dizgrannie

3:44 am

puglet

might be a good ideal Rose

3:45 am

grannyrose

*quiet chuckle* jenny, i know what you mean! my step-son has aspergers. he simply cannot un5stand why other people get so vocally angry with him for being better than them at something.

3:46 am

dizgrannie

Oh jiving. can sooo relate.....have a 11yr old g/son with as my mum calls is 'alphabet syndrome'

3:46 am

puglet

Iam getting off right now, Carol and her bunch are down for the week end and I got four little kids wanting me to take them wading today--so got to do what I need to this morning---love and hugs

3:47 am

grannyrose

love and hugs, pugs. enjoy your day. hope your new meds continue to give you the relief you need.

3:49 am

Jivingjenny0

Adam is a whiz at maths and anything that is logical, but feelings are a trial. My daughter has a very hard life because she has Adam, a 12 year old daughter who is hormonal and her husband is partially sighted (and probably has aspergers too)

3:50 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, jenny. my heart goes out to her, dear. what a busy life she must live!!

3:51 am

dizgrannie

Haven't studied it, but I find most boys with ADDHD or Aspergers have Dads with the same condition

3:51 am

dizgrannie

It seems that the Dad's parents tried to sweep it away.

3:52 am

grannyrose

the jury's still out on that one, diz. if a parent doesn't obviously exhibit the signs, then there is a good chance both parents have a recessive gene of the disorder.

3:55 am

dizgrannie

true Rose, my dtr was a hypo kiddo, her son is ADDHD/OCC and hus Dad can't sit still for 5 mins....but nothing wrong with him OR HIS KID

3:56 am

dizgrannie

hIs**

3:56 am

grannyrose

for instance, my father had red/green colour blindness, i don't. but i carry the gene recessively. my ex definitely was not colour-blind. but my third son is monochromic colour-blind. which means two things. his father carried the red/green colour-blindness gene recessively, and that my son only sees the world in shads of white and black and greys

3:57 am

grannyrose

*shades*

3:58 am

grannyrose

diz, do you mean ODD?

4:01 am

dizgrannie

sorry OCD

4:02 am

dizgrannie

Occupational Compulsive Disorder

4:05 am

grannyrose

oh, my son had obsessive defiant disorder.

4:05 am

grannyrose

he also had ADHD, which made life very interesting.

4:22 am

sprite

good morning all

4:38 am

grannyrose

g'day, sprite. hugs, kisses and all my dear.

4:38 am

4:38 am

hi rose *hug* That is a pretty rare thing, monochromatic colourblindness.

4:39 am

I agree, rolin. I tried it 3 times to make sure enable was being a brat again.

oh, rose, my son's UNESPO project ended last! But he is not sad about it. He made a truckload of new friends and has some vacation addresses over the whole world.

4:51 am

sprite

I am fine, thanks zooz. *hug* How about yourself?

4:51 am

grannyrose

wow, sprite. i bet he is so high!! lol

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Aww well I am glad he enjoyed it, Sprite, I could not get up and do a talk good on him..And making friends too! even better.

4:52 am

grannyrose

zooz, i'm okay, thanx. just concentrate on your good self.

4:52 am

sprite

lol no he wasn't high, he was busted. They had to get up at 6, be in the bus at 7 am, and of course they didn't go to sleep early.

4:53 am

grannyrose

lolol, of course not, teen boys asleep early...never gonna happen.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Oh gosh he will need plenty of sleep then lol

4:53 am

sprite

yes, he is very good and relaxed about things like that. And he took a couple of Ukrainers on a tour through Amsterdam. They had so much fun.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Well he would if he is anything like me..I like my sleep.

4:54 am

sprite

me too, zooz. But you know teenagers... social gatherings are so much more important than sleep, lol.

4:54 am

zoozzoom

They could do an exchange week or something?

4:55 am

zoozzoom

*Sees sprites eyes nearly pop out..not in this house* lol

4:55 am

sprite

yes they could. For now, they have asked him to come to them, in exchange for his efforts during the UNESPO week. He took them to a lot of places and helped them out. He likes them very much.

4:56 am

sprite

hm no, not in this house I am afraid, it is a small house.

4:56 am

zoozzoom

I think that is wonderful..nice to make friends from different places. Makes you more cultured I feel.

4:57 am

zoozzoom

Same here, Sprite, Could not swing a rat by its tail in my one.

4:57 am

sprite

yeah, he did notice some differences in culture. But he also noticed how much we all have in common and that is even more important, maybe.

4:58 am

zoozzoom

Very true.

5:03 am

sprite

I think rose is a lo4 cause today, lol

5:04 am

zoozzoom

Bless her.She could be eating her dinner whilst watching the TV program.

5:05 am

sprite

looking at gravity squirrels, no doubt

5:05 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:06 am

sukee

Good morning, I'm up early on a Saturday doing laundry.

5:06 am

sprite

good morning sukee, how virtuous!

5:06 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sukee :-)

5:07 am

sukee

I love big grids :)

5:07 am

sprite

me too. Especially that first phase in which you find words quicker than you can type them

5:08 am

sukee

YEs :)

5:08 am

zoozzoom

Me too! I want one about 900+

5:08 am

sprite

that would be awesome, especially on a weekend day, zooz. I remember the 744 one, it was a really lovely day on babble.

5:09 am

zoozzoom

I missed that one :-(

5:12 am

sprite

april 21, 2012

5:13 am

sukee

brb, time to put laundry in the dryer

5:13 am

sprite

nice going, sukee

5:13 am

zoozzoom

I was in the middle of my breakdown so was not babbling then :-(

5:14 am

zoozzoom

I bet it was a really high points total.

5:14 am

sprite

no indeed, dear zooz *hugs* Not in the mood back then. And not yet realising how much better you would be feeling in 2 years time.

5:15 am

sprite

13761 points

5:15 am

zoozzoom

Very true, Sprite, I have been feeling so much better..well still am just had a dip which is understandable.

5:15 am

zoozzoom

Wow very nice!

5:16 am

sprite

yes, of course, that is not a breakdown or a depression, that is mourning. Although it is sad and very painful, it is also healthy.

5:18 am

zoozzoom

Just wish I could get rid of my nightmares I have..although I have not been having them as often as of a year ago..so that is good.

5:18 am

zoozzoom

Have your declined at all, Sprite?

5:18 am

sprite

having less is at least progress. But yes, nightmares are really awful.

5:20 am

sprite

no not really. They seem to come in waves. I think they are triggered by something like too much noise, or a scare, or seeing something bad on television in the news. Which is why I don't read papers and don't watch the news. But last night I had to perform for an audience without being prepared, and I was stranded somewhere without money for bus or train. As far as my nightmares go, that is very benign.

5:22 am

grannyrose

i give up, i really don't have enough eyes for this. this film is riveting. will try and concentrate on you.

5:22 am

zoozzoom

((Sprite)) when having them you will now remember that I have put a few euro notes in the bottom of your shoe..so you will never have that one again :-)

5:22 am

sprite

lol rose. Go watch the movie and enjoy. We will be here tomorrow, probably

5:22 am

sprite

roflol, good one, zooz!

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Watch your film, Rose :-)

5:23 am

grannyrose

thanx you lovely people. see you tomorrow. xoxox

5:23 am

sprite

*hugs* rose, and have a grand time

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Toodle pips, Rose!

5:24 am

zoozzoom

Is your husband going on any canoe trips this summer, Sprite?

5:25 am

sprite

yes, he is planning one at the moment, to go with our daughter, in the south part of our country. He sits with maps and booklets and a noteblock and tries to set up a route :)

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Cool so you can then invite your friends over and have a tea party!

5:27 am

sprite

lolol indeed

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Or one of those naughty ones where you buy certain items.

5:29 am

zoozzoom

sister used to do those we call them ann summers..she would go round their house or have the party round hers and sell goods and make money on how commission.

5:29 am

sukee

The reason I have to do laundry so badly is because I put it off and have nothing to wear :)

5:29 am

sprite

*giggles* I am gonna host one of those. But somewhere in october or november. Summer is not a good time for that.

5:29 am

zoozzoom

But she got fed up with doing it in the end but she said it was fun at the time nothing too rude I must add.

5:30 am

sprite

roflollll sukee, oh I know, right! When I still lived alone, that happened to me all the time.

5:30 am

zoozzoom

Love the smell of fresh laundry especially duvet covers.

5:30 am

sprite

yes, I went to one of those about 2 weeks ago, zooz. It was a blast. Laughed so much. And ordered some naughty toys, lol.

5:32 am

zoozzoom

My sister made a good bit of money from those and like you say was a good laugh at the same time.

5:32 am

sprite

now with two teenagers who sport, one of them a girl that goes through clothes like other people through tissues, and a husband who has work clothes and hobby clothes and normal clothes... I do a load every day, sometimes two, or things become nasty

5:32 am

zoozzoom

Wow that is a lot of laundry!

5:33 am

sprite

it is! And we don't have a dryer. Everything goes on a clothesline here.

5:34 am

sukee

The only think I don't like is I have to go down to the first floor of the apartment

5:34 am

sukee

Thank goodness it's only me I have to do laundry for :)

5:34 am

zoozzoom

I think that is a good thing..can you imagine how much more that would cost to use a dryer to dry all that.

5:34 am

sprite

oh, that is not pleasant, no

5:35 am

sprite

oh, true that, zooz. Our energy bill is really lower since the darn thing broke down. But it is a lot of work to keep up with the stream now, grin.

5:35 am

zoozzoom

No I can understand that, Sukee, also got to be careful whilst carrying the basket and walking down the stairs too.

5:35 am

sprite

imagine how nice it will be to have everything clean again and folded and in your dresser, sukee :)

5:36 am

sukee

Yes :) It is always worth it.

5:36 am

sprite

and it smells good

5:37 am

zoozzoom

I bought this cheap washing powder a while ago and there was no scent when the clothes was dry. Was not pleased...Love a nice summery smell to my clothes.

5:38 am

Wolvie

good morning all- figures we get a nice big grid on a day o cant be home lol. going to try and get nbt/nbs before i have to leave

5:38 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Wolvie :-)

5:39 am

sprite

lollll... husband came home with dog, dog panting, tongue out. I say, give him fresh water, he looks thirsty. Husband cleans out the (huge) plastic thing our dog uses as a water bowl, fills it. Dog runs out, ignores clean water, starts lapping up water from a moldy pool.

5:39 am

sprite

aw poor Wolvie :)

5:40 am

zoozzoom

Teehee typical dog mentality.

5:40 am

sprite

Terra is truly weird that way. He refuses tap water, unless he doesn't know it is tap water. He prefers filthy water.

5:41 am

Wolvie

lol sprite- so doggie

5:42 am

Wolvie

one of my kitties loves the water that any plant is sitting in- she goes out of her way to go lap at that when i water my plants lol

5:42 am

sprite

oh lol, Wolvie. Precious :)

5:42 am

sukee

My cat will only drink cold water from the bathroom sink.

5:42 am

sukee

I have to pour it into a cup also, not a bowl.

5:42 am

Wolvie

at least it is the sink sukee :D

5:43 am

sprite

our old cat only drank from the watering can.

5:43 am

sukee

He used to drink out of the toilet but I have a raised seat now and he can't reach it :)

5:43 am

sprite

lol, aren't they funny!

5:43 am

Wolvie

oh- lol- that is going to far me thinks- at least for my cats- i am not home enough to give them water like that

5:43 am

Wolvie

lol sukee

5:43 am

zoozzoom

Perhaps it is like us some people prefer water with a taste of strawberry or some type of fruits. This is animals way of having a flavoured drink..lol

5:43 am

zoozzoom

eww, Sukee, lol

5:44 am

Wolvie

eeeewwww sukee?? lol zooz. flavor indeed

5:45 am

sprite

lol @ flavoured water

5:45 am

Wolvie

yup- gave zooz the top ewww for that lol

5:45 am

sprite

oh, not the can while watering. From the top of the can, when it was sitting in the sink. It was a metal watering can.

5:45 am

sprite

maybe he needed some mineral or something, lol

5:46 am

Wolvie

:D

5:46 am

zoozzoom

hahaha good point, Sprite!

5:47 am

sprite

one of the things I love about animals. They are so funny. Always something you don't expect.

5:47 am

zoozzoom

OK I need 76 more words..going for a break.Nice chatting to you all. Hope to see you all again soon..toodle pips for now.

6:45 am

crosshair

with places like wally-mart and target and giant tiger selling t-shirts and golf shirts for 5 dollars, once you factor in the cost of laundry soap,water and electricity, it is almost cleaper to throw the shirts out after wearing them twice:( to heck with that carbon footprint!

6:47 am

sukee

Really, 2 loads of laundry cost me $9 today, plus the Tide pods. I see what you mean.

6:48 am

7:27 am

hello

7:27 am

Trifioso

oh, it's fine....really, its my bad. I think it should have been seconda the whole time anyway

7:28 am

Trifioso

her real name is fiona, anyway

7:28 am

MollyL

The term husband in law kind of makes my skin crawl. Mother in laws are bad enough.

7:29 am

Trifioso

yes. well. my husband in law rather makes my skin crawl too. recently he sent an email to my ex brother in law, whom he has never met, absolutely FILLED with lies about me. really slanderous stuff - saying I was bipolar, discussing the financial terms of my divorce, and getting almost all of them wrong. I was FURIOUS. Haven't seen him since.

7:30 am

Trifioso

but today is about fiona, so I will smile, be civil and courteous, and wait for karma to do its job. which it will

7:34 am

MollyL

My mother would have referred to him as "the other one". As in "will your ex and the other one be there?" It was a term she used for people she thought deserved no name recognition. : D

7:34 am

MLFAN17

Does anyone have stats for the R on the THIRD column?

7:35 am

sukee

That is as much as I know :)

8:17 am

Crossy has broken hisbig toe(s) many times. Dr. just looks at it and says "yup, it is broken" just need some good sandals and lots of booze/drugs for 2-3 weeks

8:18 am

MollyL

That is why I didn't bother with the doctor when I broke mine. I didn't need to pay someone lots of dollars to tell me what I already knew.

8:19 am

crosshair

sadly, mine had a open wound and stiches to go with it

8:19 am

The oldest example of menâ€™s underwear, the loincloth, dates back to the cave man. We know this because in 1991 a leather loincloth was discovered in the Alps along with the remains of Otzi, the iceman, who lived around 3300 B.C. Scientists discovered that Otzi wore a leather loincloth under his woven grass cloak.

Slow and steady mlf....

11:12 am

MLFAN17

very car lol

11:12 am

MimiCat

Tripped over cat and fell injuring left shoulder and right elbow. Then a few days later cat knocked tumbler of sugared iced tea into my laptop keyboard. People keep asking me if those cats are still alive! The tea was really my fault...know better than to keep liquids close to electronics.

11:13 am

smores

ugh...sorry to hear

11:13 am

MimiCat

The good news is my cardiologist said I can go off meds...hooray!

11:13 am

Wonderful!!!!

11:15 am

car.eeyore

LOL!

11:15 am

MimiCat

I'm telling you, the supplemental CoQ10 I've been taking has really made a difference in my energy level....and it not only helps the heart and all other organs, it aids in reducing risk for dementia.

11:16 am

car.eeyore

phantom: scorpion

11:16 am

car.eeyore

<....runs to the store to get some.....

11:17 am

MimiCat

I like the brand from Stop Aging Now because it also has black pepper which increases absorption by 30%. But it is available on Amazon...isn't EVERYTHING?!!

11:17 am

smores

wonderful Mimi, I've been thinking of trying it

11:17 am

car.eeyore

I'm sold!

11:17 am

rururocks

<--I just tell myself I refuse to age

11:18 am

smores

It's on my after I get caught up list ... lol

11:18 am

smores

lol..ruru

11:18 am

MimiCat

Also, I take supplemental magnesium (and several other things including a green drink) and took extra when I injured my arms because it helps muscles and is really good for leg cramps...honest.

11:19 am

smores

that's my strategy too...but...

11:19 am

rururocks

*thinks the heat has gotten to Mimi*

11:19 am

MimiCat

LOL. I did the same thing as well, ruru, but the mirror keeps telling me it didn't work.

11:20 am

rururocks

green drinks are awful

11:20 am

rururocks

I'd rather go suck a lawn

11:20 am

MimiCat

I'm seeing a lot of articles now about CoQ10. Even my cardiologist said it's good I''m taking it.

11:20 am

car.eeyore

My brain and body stopped listening to me back in the 80's

11:20 am

smores

:)

11:20 am

MimiCat

True, but you have to mix it with something strong in taste. I use spicy V8 which is also healthy, so it's a win/win.

11:21 am

MimiCat

Mine, too, car! My project now is dropping this extra weight....it's like having a Siamese twin that you HATE!

11:23 am

car.eeyore

<-- popping 2 Aleve....

11:24 am

MimiCat

I first learned about green drinks when a friend had terminal cancer and conventional medicine had given up and told her to go to hospice. She stopped all conventional "treatment" and went to a naturopath who put her on the green drink, had her eat fish a lot as well as other things and she improved for about two years and was able to live on her own and have a good quality of life before it eventually did take her. But she got an extra two GOOD years.

11:24 am

MimiCat

Yes, Aleve is wonderful, car....that's what I use as well.

11:24 am

car.eeyore

Wow.

11:24 am

car.eeyore

I think the Good Captain is fighting me this morning....

11:25 am

MimiCat

I also found a natural antihistamine...Quercetin. It really does work. As you can tell, I've been researching natural remedies and supplements A LOT.

11:26 am

car.eeyore

Will also check that one out

11:26 am

rururocks

the only green drinks I like are margaritas

11:26 am

72 Temple Owl

be very wary of aleve. took it fo years then bleeding ulcer after taking it fo 2 days

11:26 am

MimiCat

I used to not believe in supplements and such either but now that I've had some success with them, I'm really happy I decided to give them a try.

11:27 am

MimiCat

It's on Amazon, too, car. Just assume anything I recommend is on Amazon since it's the only place I shop anymore.

11:27 am

MimiCat

Love that green drink, too, ruru!!

11:27 am

rururocks

<---getting nowhere with this grid

11:28 am

car.eeyore

I am on ranitidine too TO....but thank you for the warning!

11:28 am

car.eeyore

Ruru....this is Saturday morning chat...grid is secondary.

11:28 am

car.eeyore

Hey...isn't that the tennis player in the grid today?

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

i crossed my fingers and took 4 coated baby aspiins twice yesteday.

11:29 am

car.eeyore

How did it go?

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

so far, so good, and the pain is much less today so do not need.

11:30 am

MollyL

*Pushes aside the healthy stuff and puts a pitcher of Margaritas in the PB*

11:30 am

car.eeyore

Good

11:30 am

car.eeyore

TY Molly

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

oh hell yes, thatll kill the pain

11:30 am

car.eeyore

I don't like margaritas, so may I offer a pitcher of watermelon martinis instead?

11:31 am

smores

finally past the 200 mark...taking a break

11:31 am

MollyL

I have much better luck with that kind of pain reliever than I do with aspirin or other such things.

11:31 am

car.eeyore

Well done Smores!

11:31 am

MollyL

Car is way into the flavored martini thing of late.

11:31 am

MimiCat

One more tip before I get to work.....this is an old remedy. Take a tablespoon of cider vinegar twice daily...it aids digestion. I have IBS and it honestly has cut down flareups.

11:32 am

MimiCat

Hi, Molly! How long is the learning curve for Windows 8?!! It's a bit of a challenge.

11:32 am

MollyL

Oh my God, cider vinegar is the nastiest tasting stuff on the planet.

11:32 am

MimiCat

I love it just straight but you can mix it into something.

11:32 am

periwinkle

hi all, having a G& T while babbling and giving myself a pedicure. not sure how the pedicure will turn out :)

11:33 am

MollyL

The learning curve is a lot shorter if you do some of the tutorials offered.

11:33 am

car.eeyore

Ewwww...yes it is. Tried taking it once and couldn't do it.

11:33 am

car.eeyore

Nice Peri!

11:33 am

MollyL

Car, that stuff smells like what my thermos used to smell like when I left it at school over the weekend.

11:34 am

car.eeyore

I know!

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

thermos...now that is something you don't hear every day.

11:34 am

rururocks

*thinks that Mimi has been hanging around too many health food stores*

11:35 am

MimiCat

Since the doc I transcribe is off now until the 19th, I'm planning to do one or two tutorials, Molly. It helps that the lady I work for just got it a couple of weeks ago and helps when I'm stuck.

11:35 am

MimiCat

LOL, ruru....haven't actually been in ANY stores. Just doing research and ordering from Amazon.

11:36 am

MollyL

It's probably reading all those "For Your Health" articles on the internet that are glorified marketing for the products they "suggest".

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

has anyone seen scrabbler today?

11:39 am

MimiCat

I'm aware of those, Molly, but I get information from many other sources that don't stand to gain monetarily. There is a lot of literature about naturopathic alternatives.

11:39 am

car.eeyore

Not me

11:40 am

periwinkle

time for 2nd coat of polish on my toes, bbs

11:40 am

Time to get to work. Good touching base with everyone. Have a good Saturday and hugs all around.

My doctor says the six words she hates to hear the most are, "I read on the internet that..."

11:40 am

I just reached half way and need a nap but chores are haunting me. I really should go but.....

4:48 pm

Soodle

I have collected the boy wonder from the airport, got done for speeding, buried a dead cat, cooked a barbeque (unrelated to deceased cat) ironed all the laundry, visited my Dad, and now enjoying a glass of wine.

4:49 pm

Bugsaw

oh Soodle I got stuck at the cat. I hope it was not one you loved.

4:49 pm

Bugsaw

4:50 pm

Marc Freeman

the last re7/32, please?

4:50 pm

Bugsaw

How much did you get dinged for speeding? I hope it is affordable

4:52 pm

Soodle

Bugs, we have a house cat called Dora. He is the best fed cat in Ireland. Then, there are numerous strays which i ( reluctantly) feed. It was one of them who met their maker this afternoon. Unpleasant, but not traumatic.

4:52 pm

Bugsaw

sorry Marc

4:54 pm

Marc Freeman

It's my last 'r' and driving me crazy

4:54 pm

Bugsaw

Glad you are not too distraught then Soodle. I must be off for a bit. Hugs to all Babblers who want one and waves to all Lurkers

5:08 pm

Soodle

Jaxx. I owe you an apology. I vamoosed the other night when you started talking about spooky goings on. I was in bed, in the dark, on my own. I can cope with spooky in daylight, but I knew if I hing around, I'd get freaked. ðŸ˜³

5:09 pm

crosshair

soodles is the type of girl us guys used to love to take to scary movies on first dates:)

5:09 pm

Soodle

Marc, you have no idea how happy I am you got it. I was tearing my hair out!! :-p

5:10 pm

jaxx7

This house is not good for someone unable to cope with spooky. I won't mention it again, promise

5:12 pm

Soodle

Bwah ha ha Crossy. Now I understand why I was popular years ago.

5:12 pm

Soodle

Have you met up with the Aussies, Jaxx?

5:13 pm

jaxx7

No, that joy awaits me on Tuesday after the Social Services on Monday. I think I am going to run away!

5:15 pm

Soodle

Pssh! Nobody with pink hair runs away. It's the law!

5:15 pm

Marc Freeman

thanks soodle I just couldn't see it

5:15 pm

Marc Freeman

I am glad I have hair left

5:15 pm

jaxx7

I'll take your word for it

5:16 pm

Soodle

You'll be grand, Jaxx.

5:16 pm

crosshair

If my da is any indication i shall have a full head of hair well past 70 years of age:)

5:17 pm

jaxx7

I don't think my house has ever been so tidy. I have been busy all day changing bedlinen, towels, teatowels and washing it all. My washing machine is wheezing!

5:20 pm

Soodle

Lol Cross. My Dad is 86. I have more grey in my hair than him. And, Jaxx, no matter what happens, you nd up with a pristine house. Win/win.

5:20 pm

Soodle

'End'

5:20 pm

jaxx7

Ashley will arrive tomorrow and all that work will have been for nothing. he thinks the floor is the place for all things

5:21 pm

*Gets a night light for Soodle*

5:22 pm

crosshair

if it is stuff he desires and uses, pick it off the florr and lock it in a closet. When he wants it back, make him clean a part of the house in ransom.

5:22 pm

I never believed in spooky goings on until we moved here

5:22 pm

he has already 'lost' the X Box because he threw the controller across the room in a fit of paddy.

5:23 pm

crosshair

hup. Hit him where it hurts:)

5:24 pm

crosshair

yup*

5:24 pm

MollyL

A fit of Paddy?

5:24 pm

Soodle

Sorry Jaxx, is Ashley your son?

5:24 pm

jaxx7

It is hard to blame him when his grandad does the same. By the end of two days you can't walk across the living room without almost breaking your neck. That is the point where I give in and pick it up.

5:25 pm

Soodle

Ah! A grandson!

5:25 pm

Marc Freeman

le6/18, please?

5:25 pm

jaxx7

Ashley is my 8 year old grandson who stays with us from Sunday evening until Friday afternoon.

5:25 pm

crosshair

I would set aside a large lock-up closet then

5:26 pm

crosshair

especially for grandda's stuff:))

5:26 pm

Soodle

Relating to Christian fasting period before Easter Marc

5:26 pm

jaxx7

In the only lockable cupboard is my late mother-in-lae's invalid bugghy. Don't ask

5:27 pm

Marc Freeman

thanks

5:27 pm

jaxx7

buggy.

5:28 pm

jaxx7

paddy, without a capital , is another name for temper, molly.

5:28 pm

Soodle

Thanks for the illumination Molls. Even with the light, I still shrink from spookiness.

5:29 pm

Marc Freeman

Down to 150 left I am going to take a rest and come back to it later?

5:30 pm

MollyL

Okay Soodle, I'm guessing you are one of those people who has never seen The Exorcist.

5:31 pm

crosshair

now, molly, do not give her the heebie-jeebies:) Now, the movie "THe Thing" will scare the skin right off of her! :)

5:31 pm

MollyL

I'm a pretty big chicken shit myself. but talk of spooky things in the chat does not make me run away.

5:32 pm

jaxx7

Don't be unkind you two. If soodle doesn't like all things spooky so what. I don't like heights.

5:32 pm

crosshair

Crossy is sorry:(

5:32 pm

crosshair

here, have a puppy out of petty pets:)

5:32 pm

MollyL

We were joking, not being unkind.

5:33 pm

Soodle

You are correct, Molly. I just don't see the point in scaring the bejaysus out of myself watching manufactured scary stuff. There's enough real scary stuff going on in my lifeto be going on with.

5:33 pm

crosshair

can name him Cujo:))))

5:34 pm

jaxx7

Soodle obviously has a vivid imagination. It is the Irish in her

5:35 pm

jaxx7

Just found rats in the grid

5:36 pm

Soodle

Not a bit of it! I'm merely a lily-livered coward.

5:36 pm

MollyL

'Tis a shame I know nothing about being Irish or having a vivid imagination. : D

5:37 pm

MollyL

Soodle, as I said, I was just joking and I am a chicken shit as well. I steer clear of scary movies for the same reason.

5:38 pm

jaxx7

Don't you find obviously scary movies funny? It is the quieter, more subtle ones that do the damage

5:40 pm

Soodle

Oh Lordy, Jaxx. I'd sooner have needles stuck in my eyes than watch a scary movie.

5:41 pm

jaxx7

How about the TV?

5:42 pm

MollyL

Soodle, I'm surprised you were so taken with Breaking Bad. That was a very dark, depressing show that I found difficult to watch on more than one occasion.

5:42 pm

jaxx7

I haven't seen it. What is it about?

5:44 pm

Soodle

Dark & depressing I can handle. Heck, thats how I grew up! It's the devil stuff that freaks me...,

5:45 pm

jaxx7

Ah, the religious aspect

5:45 pm

Soodle

Hey! I'm Irish. The defence rests....

5:47 pm

jaxx7

So am I and not so far back either. I am however from orangemen so should I cross myself now?

5:47 pm

Soodle

But, Jaxx, get yourself a Netflix account & watch Breaking Bad. Seriously.

5:48 pm

jaxx7

Do you think it is my cup o' tea?

5:48 pm

crosshair

Crossy loves Netflix:)

5:48 pm

MollyL

The evil in people scares me more than a supposed "devil".

5:49 pm

jaxx7

I agree, molly, but there are more nice people than evil, thank goodness.

5:49 pm

Soodle

Oh, mudderagawd!!!! Don't tell me I've been chatting with an orangewonan???? Lol rofl!

5:50 pm

MollyL

*Quietly whistles A Nation Once Again*

5:51 pm

jaxx7

I am not an orange woman, I am pink and proud of it. Seriously, my mother in the 1920s used to fight on St Patrick's day as a proddy dog against the catlicks

5:52 pm

Soodle

Bwah ha ha Jaxx! (((())))

5:53 pm

jaxx7

half my lot were Catholic and the other half Protestant so I am a hybrid! lol

5:55 pm

jaxx7

You can chat with the Catholic half and the protestant bit won't listen, promise

5:55 pm

Rollie Pollie

Reds

5:56 pm

Soodle

I bred a hybrid lot as well. My ex was Church of England. I'm Catholic. The kids were left to make their own minds up.

5:56 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Rollie. No reds here only me with my pink hair.

5:56 pm

Rollie Pollie

Sorry, I'm using a new device that I am not used to.

5:57 pm

Soodle

Has anybody checked under the beds?

5:57 pm

Rollie Pollie

Love your pink hair!

There is no room under my bed for anything to hide - too much rubbish under there already

5:59 pm

jaxx7

Thanks, Rollie. A statement of growing old disgracefully that I had done when I retired

6:00 pm

MollyL

Under the bed is cool, it is the other places that scary people lurk you might want to beware of.

6:00 pm

uusue2

hi all!

6:01 pm

Soodle

Hiya Sue

6:02 pm

uusue2

hi soodle!

6:02 pm

jaxx7

Believe me, molly, all cupboards, under the bed spaces and the loftspace are chock a block with three household's stuff.

6:03 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Sue. Just discussing the overcrowded house that I live in

6:03 pm

uusue2

ah. sorry to hear that.

6:04 pm

jaxx7

it is in connection with soodle's fear of the dark in relation to spookiness

6:05 pm

uusue2

oh, I see. So if your house is crowded enough there's no place for scary things to hide?

6:05 pm

jaxx7

That's the theory

6:05 pm

MollyL

Anyway Soodle, I find real live people of the lie a lot more scary than made up boogeymen and gremlins in the movies.

6:06 pm

uusue2

my house used to be like that (a couple of husbands ago) but it is better now. At least the parts my son hasn't cluttered up.

6:06 pm

crosshair

howdy, zuze:)

6:06 pm

crosshair

suze even

6:06 pm

uusue2

hi crossy!

6:06 pm

MollyL

A couple of husbands ago...I love it.

6:07 pm

jaxx7

I have promised myself that i will have a massive clear out but I am fighting a losing battle with my husband who 'rescues' all sorts of things that 'might come in useful one day'

6:08 pm

Soodle

Oh Molly, I whole heartedly agree with you. Right up until I am in bed, on my own, in the dark, and then I start thinking.....

6:09 pm

MollyL

*Wires The Soodle Pit with twinkly white lights and a looped recording of It's A Small World After All*

6:09 pm

have something alcoholic as a nightcap and that will help you stop thinking

6:10 pm

periwinkle

hi all, my decluttering continues. gave some books to two thrift stores this week , along with a handbag

6:11 pm

periwinkle

more books are scheduled to leave next week

6:11 pm

periwinkle

I got a new handbag so one had to go

6:11 pm

Soodle

Gasp! I'm welling up. Molly, nail on head! White lights and Small world. Feckit. You know me too well.

6:11 pm

periwinkle

Feckit :-)

6:11 pm

MollyL

See, there is comfort in the fact that someone "gets it"
: D

6:12 pm

jaxx7

Peri, would you like to come over and sort my clutter out?

6:12 pm

Soodle

:-)

6:12 pm

MollyL

Peri, I love giving books away. I only keep a few cherished favorites but I see no sense in hording a lot of books that I will never read again.

6:13 pm

jaxx7

Molly, you can join peri as well. I can't throw away books.

6:14 pm

MollyL

I don't throw books away. I donate them or give them to people.

6:15 pm

periwinkle

no thanks jaxx I am having enough trouble sorting and giving away stuff that I do not need or want

6:16 pm

jaxx7

I have an arrangement with a friend who takes away all the books I have read over the previous month. She then puts them in the Royal British Legion Bar where they have charity shelves and the books are sold to benefit the RBL

6:16 pm

periwinkle

that is a good idea, jaxx

6:17 pm

jaxx7

I get to read them and then they are put to a good use.

6:18 pm

crosshair

I decutter and sell/give away everything BUT the books. My books stay put.

6:18 pm

crosshair

I loan them out, but want them returned.

6:19 pm

jaxx7

Crossy, you are a man after my own heart. I have a bookcase full of my favourites that I reread over and over. My husband has a bookcase of angling books and the grandchild has a coulple of bookshelves as well.

6:20 pm

jaxx7

I would rather give them away as they hardly ever come back when borrowed

6:20 pm

crosshair

I re-read books in my bookcase many times. The give a warmpth, a soul to where i live.

6:21 pm

periwinkle

that is very true, jaxx. I do not lend books anymore.

6:21 pm

crosshair

warmth

6:21 pm

periwinkle

crossy, I can read typonese

6:21 pm

jaxx7

Exactly, but it is hard to keep them tidy. I read one book every three days or so. I am into David Baldacci right now

6:22 pm

crosshair

that is well because that is mostly what i type

6:22 pm

jaxx7

A further extension of English as she is typed.

6:24 pm

crosshair

If my beloved would let me, I would of converted our living room to a small library long ago, with nothing but a loveseat or fainting couch and a couple of wingbacked chairs with ottomans and a small table to hold beverages of an adult nature.:)

6:24 pm

NANCY

jaxx, what Baldacci are you reading now?

6:25 pm

jaxx7

All in decanters with silver labels eh crossy

6:25 pm

crosshair

ahh yes, some of those nice, heavy crystal decanters..

6:25 pm

crosshair

perfect

6:25 pm

MollyL

A fainting couch? Is that what you all call a chaise lounge?

6:25 pm

jaxx7

I have just finished the Christmas train. The others I have i WILL CHOOSE FROM TONIGHT

6:26 pm

crosshair

no, there is an actual couch type called a fainting couch

6:26 pm

crosshair

google it

6:26 pm

crosshair

you can get modern reproductions

6:26 pm

jaxx7

I am not shouting, merely bashed the Caps key, sorry

6:27 pm

crosshair

it only has one arm and can be plain or very decorative

6:27 pm

jaxx7

Will you go as far as a tantalus?

6:27 pm

MollyL

I'll make sure to get one to keep around for fainting people.

6:27 pm

NANCY

I just brought The Target from the library today. I am on a list for all my favorite authors and they call me when the latest comes out. This way, after I read them, I don't have to store them somewhere.

6:28 pm

crosshair

ya never know, especially after a drink or six

6:28 pm

jaxx7

Victorian ladies often swooned due to tight corsets.

6:28 pm

crosshair

they did indeed, jaxx

6:28 pm

MollyL

Well, that would be a passing out couch and I would hate to keep something so delicate around for that, as they generally get puked on.

6:29 pm

jaxx7

Clearly they couldn't just drop to the floor

6:29 pm

crosshair

mm, yes, must consider the puke..

6:29 pm

crosshair

perhaps one of those world globes with the mini bar hidden inside...

6:30 pm

jaxx7

But this library is simply for you, crossy, so no puke

6:30 pm

crosshair

will have to get a smoking jacket, even though i no longer smoke.

6:30 pm

jaxx7

Don't you think that would be a little tacky and out of place?

6:30 pm

MollyL

To be sure because he never has a drink or six.

6:31 pm

jaxx7

Dark Bottle green velvet - lovely

6:32 pm

crosshair

actually what i do have is a nice collection of kerosene lamps as well as some old ink-wells that i have gathered over the years that will look amazing in my new library

6:32 pm

jaxx7

Now, one of those antique globes that includes things like here be dragons

6:33 pm

crosshair

a nice brass wether station mounted on the wall, a few paintings and it will be good to go

6:33 pm

jaxx7

Perhaps you could change the couch for an antique table

6:33 pm

crosshair

so many possibilities;)

6:34 pm

jaxx7

Do you mean a weather station or a barometer?

6:35 pm

crosshair

the one with all of them, the barometer, the temperature and the wind speed gauge with the little cups you mount on the roof:)

6:35 pm

jaxx7

Finish with a sumptuous persian rug, so elegant. A true Library

6:35 pm

crosshair

now we are talking:)

6:36 pm

jaxx7

A super plan

6:37 pm

jaxx7

Make sure that your first novel is in pride of place

I like it> I believe this will be my permanant wolf icon for babble

7:13 pm

flosey

lovely

7:17 pm

flosey

we have an interesting carving, a young, upcoming 20 years ago, carver we met while he was on the island here came and stayed with us while he carved it, using cedar from one of the trees we had cut for the siding on our house, I'll put in as icon - now he has created quite a name for himself, travels to Europe, and about in competitions

7:18 pm

crosshair

i would love to see it

7:18 pm

flosey

I'll finish this grid, then set it up

7:18 pm

Bugsaw

Oh. It is hard to win all three.

9:48 pm

aebmusica

se6/18(the one after to sew the eyes closed), please

9:48 pm

MollyL

The horse in question skipped The Kentucky Derby. The Belmont was today.

9:49 pm

MollyL

And it is not a requirement to run in all three races.

9:49 pm

rururocks

sounds like the Jockey made a mistake with Chrome anyway

9:50 pm

MollyL

Yeah, there was a lot more to Chrome losing than what the owner was bitching about.

9:50 pm

rururocks

HI molly xxxxx

9:51 pm

MollyL

Ru x did you go for a spin in your new wheels today? x

Jillyjill

I'd of bridge hopped somewhere. Had so much fun in 2006 when we rented a Mustang convertible and drove the coast

9:56 pm

Bugsaw

I don't think the word before means sews the eyes shut

9:57 pm

Bugsaw

so which one means sews the eys shut aeb ?

9:57 pm

aebmusica

according to the dictionary it does.

9:58 pm

Bugsaw

9:58 pm

Jillyjill

<------!!FW!!

9:58 pm

Bugsaw

those are the only se 6,18 words

9:58 pm

MollyL

I must have the wrong dictionaries then.

9:58 pm

aebmusica

it's the word (third after the second 6/32).

9:59 pm

aebmusica

10:20 pm

10:20 pm

aebmusica

ty all and ty penquis for the last clue F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S!

10:20 pm

MollyL

I know it is Pen, I'm wondering if the clues are being overlooked or something.

If it hadn't have been me, I would have found it pretty entertaining too.

10:21 pm

MollyL

*Passes Ru a double* x

10:21 pm
