really, River, when?
12:39 am
flosey
thanks Saan, came in late and can use all the help I can get
12:40 am
Riverdance
she flew out today - meeting her photo friends in
Vancouver and then they are camping on Newcastle Island for 10 days. 48 talented kids meeting up - all smart, talented photographers
12:40 am
saanichcat
it's a strange one tonight. But I am tired though, stayed up too late!
12:40 am
Riverdance
she left Saturday from home, drove to NY to meet up with a friend and they are flying out together
12:41 am
flosey
would be interesting to meet her, River - I'm not aware of Newcastle Island, would have to look it up
12:42 am
Riverdance
if you remember I hosted 24 of them here last August for a week. What an incredible experience. I am jealous of her.....lol! I love each and every one of those kids - the ones I met anyway and most of them are making this trip.
12:42 am
rururocks
i'm bummed that outrear isn't a word
12:43 am
Riverdance
I guess it is about an hour from the city. There are so many of them going, no one host can support them all so this camp ground has large group sites. The kids that live there or driving in are bringing the tents. She packed her sleeping bag and pillow - space savers bags are awesome!
12:43 am
VolleymomDee
he 7
12:44 am
flosey
River, can't find it in the Atlas, - an hour from what city, Vancouver?
12:45 am
Riverdance
she is flying into Vancouver, staying their one night at a friends and then they leave for the island.
12:45 am
Lizlin
I just googled it, Flosey. It's near Nanaimo.
12:45 am
flosey
I'll ask around, hubby was born, raised here on Salt Spring Island,
12:46 am
flosey
ah, thanks Liz - I'll check it out
12:46 am
saanichcat
Nanaimo had coal mines, I guess that's why the Island is called Newcastle
12:46 am
Riverdance
Newcastle Island is a provincial park located on a small island off the coast of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.
12:46 am
Lizlin
I just know Nanaimo for the ferry terminal.
12:46 am
flosey
I'd be glad to put her up for a night or 2 if she has the time to come down here, we could show her around
12:48 am
flosey
when is she coming? I'm going to Toronto 27th
12:48 am
Riverdance
That is so kind but I think she has a full schedule. They have daily photo shoots planned. I wanted to go with her but I got a firm NO. I have a friend on another work game that lives in Vancouver that offered me her home. But Sarah needs this first big trip away on her own. I understand.
12:48 am
Riverdance
*word
12:49 am
flosey
of course, hope she has a wonderful time, it is beautiful country
12:49 am
Riverdance
She was first very nervous about flying that far on her own is why I offerred to go. I got the "look"......lol!
12:49 am
flosey
I remember that LOOK, River
12:49 am
Riverdance
that is why she drove 7 hours to a friends in NY so they could fly out together
12:50 am
Riverdance
that look never leaves her face.....
12:50 am
flosey
raised 2 girls
12:50 am
Riverdance
let me tell you, my son is so much easier.....no LOOK from him
12:51 am
Riverdance
and he listens and doesn't say NO - what a concept!
12:51 am
flosey
raised 2 sons as well, easier I think - but all so rewarding
12:52 am
Riverdance
yes it is.....love them both so much - even with the LOOk, would not trade her in. She really is a great kid!
12:52 am
Riverdance
21 and going strong....
12:53 am
Riverdance
One of these days I will make it out your way. Have never been further west than Chicago. About time I think!
12:53 am

12:57 am
Riverdance
I must get to bed - have to get up for work in 4 hours. Had a long nap this afternoon after my injection so took some time to wear myself out again on here. Hope it works.
12:57 am
Riverdance
that will be nice
12:58 am
flosey
nice chatting, River, sweet sleep
12:58 am

chimputers maybe? Those that monkey in babble all automatically?
3:53 am
zoozzoom
Ruby, do you not have anti-virus software installed on your computer?
3:53 am
zoozzoom
LOL, Sprite
3:53 am
rubyfoo
I thought I did
3:53 am
sprite
which windows version are you using, ruby?
3:54 am
zoozzoom
If so..Ask your friend to start the sick computer up in safe mode and run the anti-virus software.
3:54 am
rubyfoo
I think it's xp
3:55 am
rubyfoo
hopefully, she''ll know what to do. Husband's chair is so low that I can barely reach the keyboard
3:55 am
sprite
there might be your problem. XP is no longer supported by microsoft, which means security issues are no longer fixed and just AV won't cut it anymore. You may need to upgrade.
3:57 am
zoozzoom
Very good point, Sprite!
3:58 am
sprite
thanks, zooz ;)
4:01 am
rubyfoo
I had better get ready for the neighbors
4:02 am

I hope they can help you, ruby
4:02 am

Good luck, Ruby. Hope they can help you.
4:02 am
rubyfoo
thank you
4:02 am
zoozzoom
Snap, sprite lol
4:02 am
rubyfoo
I didn't need another problem today, that's for sure
4:03 am
sprite
ask her to teach you how to make backups too, ruby. You just cannot have your whole life on one computer. It is bound to explode at some point.
4:04 am
zoozzoom
I have mine backing up to the cloud.
4:04 am
sprite
that is the best thing
4:05 am

Just a couple of days ago my email service provider emailed me someone in China tried to use one of my email accounts. So I had to change the password.
4:07 am
sprite
so... if we can have inertion, why not ertion?
4:08 am
zoozzoom
Strange people out there. Why would anyone try and use my email account.
4:08 am
zoozzoom
Because it is Enable :-)
4:08 am
sprite
I have no flippin' idea. It sounds pretty weird. You are sure the message was from your provider and not a phishing mail?
4:09 am
sprite
true, dat. Good point.
4:09 am
zoozzoom
Well I checked the source page and it looked pretty genuine to me.
4:10 am
lynxxx
so they can send a fake email to all your contacts saying that your wallet has been lost while you are in Australia and if they could just send you some money ASAP you promise to pay it back home! Happens all the time. Hello all
4:10 am
sprite
roflol indeed. Hiya lyn :) xxx
4:10 am
grannyrose
g'day lyn
4:11 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Lynxxx. Crikes I am getting worried now. will have to go and re check.
4:12 am
sprite
please do. Phone your provider and ask about the email. It might be all ok, zooz.
4:13 am
zoozzoom
Well there is only four people in my email address book so that would be funny. And all but one are babble friends. So just to let you know. My passport expired years ago and it would be a miracle if I was abroad :-)
4:14 am
sprite
hehehe we trust you to let us know if you traveled anywhere abroad... we might meet up then :)
4:15 am
lynxxx
Do you all still need passports with the European Union now?
4:15 am
sprite
not for all borders, lyn, but still for matters of identification, yes
4:18 am
zoozzoom
Sorry was trying to find a number for the email service provider...The same here in the UK as what, Sprite said, Lynxxx.
4:23 am
zoozzoom
May I have the stats for the lone i please?
4:24 am
sprite
ic5/12, zooz
4:24 am

or what lyn says

Thank you both :-)
4:27 am

did we lose our rose in the computer talk?
4:27 am
zoozzoom
I think so :-(
4:28 am
sprite
come back here rose, we are done. Just waiting for zooz to give us the good news the email was genuine.
4:28 am

4:30 am
grannyrose
there was a report in the news a few days ago, about a big ring of hackers in russia. apparently they have hacked into some pretty ig companies.
4:31 am
sprite
it is human nature, I fear. The more something is protected, the more some people want to get in. And some people love the power of messing up other people's lives, alas.
4:31 am
grannyrose
*big* this b key is still giving me grief
4:32 am
sprite
lol here, you can borrow mine: bbbbbbbbb
4:32 am
grannyrose
now sprite, no need to blubber.....
4:34 am
sprite
good thing I borrowed you some Bs. Or you would have written luer and who would have understood you then, hah?
4:34 am
grannyrose
you would of course.....sister of my soul. you understand me perfectly.
4:35 am
sprite
*hugs rose* And vice versa.
4:35 am
grannyrose
brb, going to put some heat rub on don's neck and shoulder.
4:36 am
sprite
sure sure, call it that if you like. We'll see you in an hour or so...
4:36 am
grannyrose
naughty sprite, he doesn't need any more ideas
4:39 am
zoozzoom
Oh for goodness sake.Only now have I found the IC5/12 and such an easy word.
4:40 am
sprite
a fish, zooz, grin. Don't feel bad. Babble blindness is as common as enable stupidity.
4:40 am
sprite
and vowel words are never easy, even when they are.
4:41 am
zoozzoom
I struggle very much with the AE words.
4:41 am
zoozzoom
although I do have two of them so far!
4:41 am
zoozzoom
Bye for now.
4:49 am

back. Sorry, had to help my girl. Her favorite band is coming to the netherlands and she wanted tickets.
4:49 am
zoozzoom
A band we should know?
4:50 am
sprite
poets of the fall
4:50 am

lol, their website has crashed... might be because of the hits from the netherlands.
4:52 am
zoozzoom
Just did a google search and watched a tiny bit of carnival of rust. Weird looking video lol
4:53 am
zoozzoom
Not my sort of music but hey ho..lol
4:53 am
sprite
a1axmama, welcome to the game. But please enter the words in the Add Word box and not in the chat.
4:53 am
lynxxx
If you want your words to count - enter them into the box on the left and hit Add
4:54 am
zoozzoom
WRONG BOX!
4:54 am
sprite
it is a finnish band, zooz. My daughter loves their music so much.
4:54 am
zoozzoom
I need to take a break anyway..so will be back later..Take care Sprite & Lynxxx

btw, I rest my case concerning rose, lol.
4:55 am

I might take a break too - bye Sprite
4:56 am
sprite
bye lyn, enjoy your evening
4:58 am
grannyrose
and back....i see a newbie on the block. welcome axmama
4:58 am
sprite
either a newbie who doesn't read chat, or a troll, rose. welcome back and that was a quickie
4:59 am
grannyrose
yeah, a speed hump, you might say...lolol
4:59 am
sprite
hahahaha :D
5:03 am
sprite
oh yeah, that weird oc. I always expect it to end in a y.
5:04 am
grannyrose
last post got lost, let's try it again
5:04 am
sprite
that was the hiccup
5:04 am
grannyrose
watching a lot of stuff on tv about robin williams. such a tragic loss.
5:04 am
sprite
what happened?
5:05 am
grannyrose
oh, sprite, he committed suicide
5:05 am
grannyrose
he has been battling depression for over 30 years.
5:05 am
sprite
oh my god. Oh that is so sad. Such a talented actor and... so special.
5:06 am
sprite
yeah, you could tell from his eyes.
5:08 am
sprite
thta is so sad, rose. Am so sorry. Such a blow for his family and friends.
5:09 am
grannyrose
the whole world is going to reel from shock.
5:09 am
sprite
makes me sad
5:09 am
grannyrose
he was only 63, sprite. that's just 1 ye4 older than i am.
5:10 am
sprite
how alone someone can be, even when surrounded by loving family and friends, and adored by half the world.
5:10 am
sprite
yeah, a spring chicken still
5:12 am
grannyrose
lolol, rubber chicken more like.
5:12 am
sprite
*grin* you? Never.
5:14 am
grannyrose
i think axmama saw the messages. i had one on the other night, wanted me to write the words in chat, so that they could copy them. it was on a genuine babble profile, but i am guessing it was actually one of her kids. it was really sweet actually.
5:16 am
sprite
lol, you are so nice, rose. I am afraid my patience for children on babble is limited nowadays.
5:19 am
grannyrose
not surprising sprite, considering what you are putting up with these days.
5:19 am
sprite
like right now, I am miffed because lyn left, as a result. I like Lyn. I like spending babble time with her.
5:20 am
grannyrose
yeah, lyn is good value.
5:21 am
sprite
well, water under the bridge. If it was just an honest mistake, I don't mind that much. We all make mistakes.
5:24 am
sprite
rose, the P has me stumped. The upper P. Could you please clue me the second Pr7/32?
5:25 am
grannyrose
pr7, before + public disturbance
5:25 am
sprite
of course. Jeezz. Thanks rose!
5:28 am
sprite
lol, I just typed in 'retour' about 5 times, so certain was I that it had to be valid and I must have typo'ed it. But our word retour comes from the french and not the english, of course.
5:29 am
grannyrose
*giggle* yeah, and i kept seeing peridot, and there's no d
5:30 am

Good morning all
5:47 am
grannyrose
g'day sukee
5:48 am
sprite
hi sukee :)
5:49 am
sprite
I enjoy them all. Even the nasties. I think the only grids I don't like much are the tiny and easy ones. Like having to find 25 words and being done before you start. But those are very rare.
5:49 am
grannyrose
and for that we are truely grateful....amen
5:50 am
sprite
lol I finally found a way to enjoy keeping babble open after finishin
5:51 am
sprite
you know, normally, I would keep on entering words, and looking for them, even after fireworks. So stupid.
5:51 am
sprite
but now I open sudoku next to it, two windows open, works fine
5:52 am
grannyrose
yeah, i do that all the time. so, tell me, what is happening in your house today?
5:53 am
sprite
rob is moody as hell. Even had a fight day before yesterday, which is rare for us. But Tim is behaving beautifully, helpful and all. Caya is a happy girl, just scored tickets to her favorite band.
5:54 am
sprite
Te5 is happily sleeping at my feet. And I am babbling and sudokuing with my friend rose, so right now, I am happy.
5:57 am

what's up with rob?
5:58 am
grannyrose
outside of the house, yes. i am going to make an attempt to clean the bathroom, some thing i normally do on the weekend.
5:59 am
sprite
irritated that I don't do enough around the house. Telling me off for wanting a tiny bite just before dinner time (because my stomach was so empty it made me feel nauseated). Being passive/aggressive in a major way.
6:00 am
sprite
do it in stages, rose. It really helps. However silly it feels to stop and sit down and read for a bit. But it truly makes a difference for our poor bodies.

ugh, i have tried to go without my 2pm paracetamol and ibuprofen. if i ever do it again, you have my permission to slap me silly with wet tissue paper.
6:06 am
sprite
*hits rose over the head with a guppy*
You twit. What on earth for. Paracetamol is pretty much harmless, and ibuprofen isn't too bad either if your stomach can handle it. Don't do this to yourself. It is automutilation, my psychiatrist would say.
6:08 am
crosshair
silly rose...
6:08 am
grannyrose
i wanted to see if i could go without them. i have been on them for over 2 ye4s.
6:09 am
sprite
ok, now you know. Don't do it again. At some point you are gonna have to accept you found an equilibrium and sustain it.
6:09 am
godthaab
Didn't I just type all the words...yesterday?
6:09 am
grannyrose
yeah, but it's good to know what it is like without the meds.
6:10 am

it is like dusting, thaab, lol
6:10 am

*hits rose again, now with a tr5* Will you listen, for crying out loud? Lolol. Watch it or the next one will be with a rotten salmon!
6:11 am

We are caught up in some weird space-time continuum!
6:11 am
sprite
oh crossy, that reminds me. I went to your book on that website. Do you really want pointers and advice? I'd hate to say something that hurt your feelings.
6:11 am
grannyrose
lol, crossy...poor you....you've started repeating yourself....you know what that is a sign of, don't you?
6:11 am
sprite
oh dear, it is Groundhog Babble Day!
6:12 am
crosshair
I knew what it is a sign of, but I have since forgotten
6:12 am
sprite
forgotten what? :)
6:12 am
crosshair
yes, sprite, there is a comment section there, please feel free to rip it to shreds. that is what that rough excerpt is there for
6:12 am
grannyrose
sprite, it constantly amuses me to find the same words the next day, words i missed the first run through in yesterday's grid.
6:12 am
sprite
oh, crossy, check this one out (hold on, must find the link)
6:13 am

What I posted there, sprite is merely brief unvarnished snapshot of the whole, it is god that you tear it down
6:14 am
grannyrose
ahhhh, alzheimer's...a marvellous disorder....you are always meeting new people, reading new books....and i forget what the third thing is. ( apologies to any babbler who is hurt by this comment)
6:14 am
sprite
ok crossy, will leave a comment there then. I don't want to tear anything down, just may have some pointers to make it more readable.
6:15 am
grannyrose
is crossy's book on his website?
6:15 am
sprite
yes, rose and godthaab, someone told me at some point that the tiles aren't totally randomly picked. There is a kind of series to it. I didn't believe it at first, but it is true.
6:16 am
sprite
aw rose, we may hope that all babblers have a sense of humour. You don't mock the disease or the people suffering from it. Just winking at our own forgetfulness.
6:16 am
godthaab
How are they picked?
6:16 am
grannyrose
ooohhh, have just found it....will read later...and give you my honest opinion, crossy

6:18 am

I don't know exactly, thaab. It seems like it takes last day's tiles, changes a certain percentage, shakes them around, then checks if the result is a grid with at least (I think) 20 words.
6:18 am
sprite
priceless vid, isn't it crossy? My favorite part is where he says to the doctor: what problem, and who the hell are you?

he was a drug user, alcoholic and had problems with depression
7:22 am
MLFAN17

7:22 am
grannyrose
annie, so with you. he had to be one of the best entertainers i have ever known.
7:22 am

Yes, such a loss. It's sad that often the price of genius is a tortured soul.
7:22 am

it was mentioned yesterday online my husband informed me of it
7:22 am

7:24 am

it was almost like hearing of a death of a close friend who you thought was healthy and doing ok
7:24 am

7:24 am

he was amazing. so intelligent, so funny, so quick. he was an amazing person.

I remember those two in Mork and Mindy

cross especially since he had just gotten out of rehab of some kind. i think it had something to do with depression

I saw him in Good Will Hunting.
7:27 am
grannyrose
yes, ruby, i did, at least in good will hunting.
7:27 am
MimiCat
I say that about myself but it seemed doubly true with him. With all the tools we have now for this sort of thing, I don't understand why he couldn't be helped....especially since he had money.
7:27 am
MLFAN17
sad he had just worked with pam dawber on his now canceled sitcom
7:27 am
MimiCat
One of my absolute favorites was Dead Poets Society.
7:27 am
MLFAN17
great film too mimi
7:28 am
MimiCat
And, of course, Good Morning Vietnam...astounding.
7:28 am
MLFAN17
mimi i think he had too many problems going on at once

I forgot about Dead Poets.
7:28 am

7:28 am

mimi yes another fantastic movie good will hunting
7:28 am

ohhh, mimi. yes, dear. dead poets society...it was an incredible film. i cried in the final scenes.

sue i love that song
7:30 am
MimiCat
Yes, I'm sure, but there's a way to sort them out and deal with them one by one. You are so right, though, crossy. I have some experience in this area, you know, and wish more people knew about SMART recovery as an alternative to AA/NA...they actually do provide "tools" to replace the crutch.
7:30 am
rubyfoo
I think overdose of heroine
7:30 am
grannyrose
oh, good heavens...good morning vietnam is one of my all time favourites. he was so incredible. and what about aladdin? where the illustrators had to re-draw the character because of his genius at adlibbing.
7:31 am
Anniebrook
I am going to get Good Morning Vietnam from Netflix and view it again, also Dead Poets. Terrible loss.
7:31 am
MimiCat
It seems many times that people who are given either great genius or great success/wealth that tragedy ultimately appears in equal measure.
7:31 am
MLFAN17
something must have happened to him mentally and emotionally to make him end his life. i dont know if he was taking meds for his depression or not
7:32 am
MLFAN17
mimi yes so often the case
7:32 am
Anniebrook
Mimi, What does SMART stand for?

I frankly would want to stay as far away from the Kennedys as possible!

The approach I've used in counseling is to validate the feelings while diverting attention to coping skills that make sense. There is a lot of technique available for therapists if they just stay open and adjust therapy to the individual.
7:39 am
grannyrose
mlf, not don't, can't dear. my friends have explained to me...depression totally removes the motivation to deal with anything.
7:40 am
MLFAN17
granny that is true and when it starts to effect you physically that is when you really get in trouble
7:40 am
Anniebrook
thanks for the explanation of "smart" mimi
7:40 am
MimiCat
Yes, it does, rose, but there is usually some small motivation internally that can be tapped into if it can be found...takes a lot of "wading through" much emotional baggage but once you get there, it's amazing the renewal of spirit and strength that can happen.
7:41 am
grannyrose
exactly, mlf...it is very difficult for a 'healthy' person to deal with...imagine how hard it is for someone who is not well?
7:41 am
MimiCat
Welcome, Annie...really like sharing that info since I believe in it so much. It's all available online, btw.
7:41 am

11:17 am

Especially with sausages..yum yum!
11:17 am
crosshair
I make my own with a Keen's dry mustard base and add a dollop of honey
11:17 am
MLFAN17
i like yellow
11:17 am
zoozzoom
Ooh that does sound nice, Crossy.
11:18 am
zoozzoom
English mustard I like with in a cheese & tomato sandwich.
11:19 am

I think next mustard i make I will blends some Keen's honey and a dash of HP see what it turns out like
11:19 am

Not too keen on it myself to be honest.

11:21 am

I love HP with sausages:)
11:22 am
zoozzoom

11:22 am
zoozzoom
HP tomato ketchup or HP daddy's sauce(Brown one)
11:23 am
crosshair
the brown sauce
11:24 am
MollyL
What is the difference between HP sauce and Worcestershire sauce?
11:25 am
crosshair
constancy for one, Worchestershire sauce is very thin
11:25 am
zoozzoom
The main difference is the use of distilled white vinegar in place of malt vinegar.
11:25 am
zoozzoom
I did have to look it up to be honest, Molly.
11:25 am
crosshair
both use tamarinds i think and the vinegar difference as zooz says
11:26 am
zoozzoom
Plus you could not put HP auce in a bloody mary..lol
11:26 am
crosshair
lol, no indeed zooz
11:26 am
MollyL
I think your HP sauce is similar to our A-1 Sauce
11:27 am
crosshair
kissing cousins at best
11:27 am
crosshair
A-1 is much sweeter
11:29 am
zoozzoom
Yeah just checked and they are similar but they do have a lot of different ingredients.

11:33 am
crosshair
The sauce wars!!
11:34 am
MollyL
They both seem to go for that vinegar/tomato/fruit combination.
11:35 am
zoozzoom
I think many people go for the sweet & sour flavor the most.
11:43 am
MollyL
I just read a comment that said HP and A-1 are both just "tarted up ketchup" : D
11:43 am
crosshair
each to their own opinion I say...
11:45 am

good thing is that I am not cooking for that person:)

11:53 am
crosshair

11:54 am
Aloyisius
ok, what is marmite?
11:54 am
crosshair
I will raise you some shaved apple wood smoked 5 year old cheddar for that omlette
11:54 am
zoozzoom
Teehee! as they say on the advert.."you either love it or hate it"
11:54 am
zoozzoom
A bit like vegi-mite, aloy.
11:55 am
Aloyisius
"mite" in the word is not very appetizing.. what is vegi-mite?
11:55 am
MollyL
Zoom, I have a friend who calls marmite "beer scrapple"
11:55 am

Sounds yummy, Crossy :-)

11:58 am
crosshair
Power nap time for crossy... poink!
11:58 am
Aloyisius
so, what does it taste like? just very salty or is there a flavor?
11:59 am
zoozzoom
Best not to have too much as you can imagine it would be way too over powering. But when used in very small amounts it has a wonderful taste :-)
11:59 am
Aloyisius
happy snooze, crossy
11:59 am
MollyL
Or you could take a short cut and just have a beer with your eggs : D
12:01 pm

I'm reading all these comments on the internet from people saying they just don't "get it"...how someone with so much fame and money could be so depressed. Alas, what those people don't "get" is depression and how dark and insidious it is.

Absolutely, molly!

uusue2
and hi mlfan!!
1:48 pm

agreed molly and it doesnt have much or anythin really to do with fame and fortune

1:51 pm
MLFAN17
tabby he could have been
1:52 pm
tabbycat
He seemed so manic when he was "on".
1:53 pm
MimiCat
And people often don't want to take the "stabilizing" medication because it robs them of the "high" of the manic phase...they feel they lose their creativity.
1:53 pm
tabbycat
Such a sad loss for all of us and especially for his family.
1:53 pm

and those drugs mellow you out too and some nasty side effects though some say those drugs dont work for them at all

Hi jaxx. Did you have an SS meeting today?
4:36 pm
jaxx7
We did and it was awful!!!!!!
4:37 pm
ChrissieDee
Oh dear :( what happens now
4:39 pm
jaxx7
A meeting on Friday to inspect our house - again. They might have just come out and said that they didn't believe us when we said Ashley was with us from Sun Night to Friday after school.
4:40 pm
bichon
Who's coming to your house jaxx?
4:41 pm
jaxx7
i felt like a convicted criminal. All because they reckoned that no-one in authority knew about it. This is not the case. The school knew, the SW on leave knew, and all they have to do is aske our neighbours as Ashley plays with their children on weekdays only.
4:42 pm
jaxx7
I wouldn't mind but we were trying to help, not cover things up.
4:42 pm
ChrissieDee
You would think they would be supportive not destructive. You are trying to do the best for Ashley
4:43 pm
ChrissieDee
Exactly!
4:44 pm
jaxx7
The meeting was a shambles as only half the people had had a letter inviting them to it. Those that didn't drifted in so the meeting was over half an hour late starting.
4:45 pm
jaxx7
Then the convicted parent and grandparents were grilled intensely
4:47 pm
jaxx7
The police rep spent all the time yawning, he referred to Ashley as Norton, his half brother. the doctor's rep moaned about Ashley missing appointments, that his MMR was 18 months late, and that jess also never went to the doctor as if we had deliberately kept them away
4:49 pm
ChrissieDee
Don't know how you stay calm
4:49 pm
jaxx7
The only one who seemed to be on Julie's side was the Camhs rep. (Child and Adult Mental health service
4:51 pm
jaxx7
he said that he didn't feel there was enough evidence to put Ashley under a Child protection order and that he was there for Norton and all he could say was that he was so much calmer since he moved in with Julie.
4:52 pm
jaxx7
So it was 8 against three as he left after saying this.
4:52 pm
jaxx7
All in all a distressing morning.
4:53 pm
bichon
Who are these people jaxx? I'm confused
4:54 pm
jaxx7
They are the Child protection team of Devon County Council. Ashley's school had reported him as being ill cared for because he had, in one week, not been given a packed lunch, had dirty socks and underwear.
4:55 pm
bichon
Is Ashley a member of your family, a neighbor's child?
4:56 pm
jaxx7
We never send him out without his lunch except on a Friday when they have fish and chips. His feet would make a good anti terrorist weapon as they have to be smelled to be believed and as for his underpants - boys aren't always good about using toilet paper.
4:56 pm
jaxx7
Ashley is my grandson
4:58 pm
bichon
Ashley lives with you sometimes?
4:58 pm
ChrissieDee
(((Jaxx))) nothing I can say but sending a big hug
4:59 pm
jaxx7
They accused us of never going to school parent evenings. I don't know where I sat on an infant sized seat then.
5:01 pm
jaxx7
Ashley lives with us from Sunday night until after school on Friday. It is easier that way because my daughter works nights and isn't there in the morning to get him off to school.
5:03 pm
jaxx7
We felt they didn't believe anything we said and it was just awful.
5:04 pm
jaxx7
We are now to expect un announced checks and other meetings away into the future.
5:06 pm
jaxx7
Thanks for the hugs chrissie. The best of it was that I had a contretemps with a woman purporting to be from Microsoft. Her Nigerian accent was so thick I couldn't understand her. I put the phone down on her as she was so rude and promised me trouble with my e-mail for the rest of my life.
5:07 pm
jaxx7
Since then all I want to do is cry. I am so rattled.
5:07 pm
ChrissieDee
From what is in the press, they seem to go for the easy targets. These monsters who kill little ones don't get checked
5:08 pm
jaxx7
I am hogging the chat so I will go and lurk.
5:08 pm
ChrissieDee
No, don't do that. The,chog is good for venting

I have nothing else to say, chrissie. This has thrown me so badly. After all the trouble with my sight I could do without SS (right intials!) and an abusive Nigerian.
5:11 pm
jaxx7
She didn't even have the courage to leave call details. I spoke to a nice man at TalkTalk and he has given me two codes I can use to block such calls in future. The best of it was he too was Nigerian but spoke perfect English.
5:13 pm
ChrissieDee
I do wish UK companies would bring all the call centres back to the UK

hi again all!

Wow, got a new entry for my physics babblets! hy7/44!
5:59 pm
Bugsaw
hints, please for we non physicists?
6:00 pm
uusue2
starts with the hy5/18 (overactive) + not off
6:00 pm
wvteach
what does it really mean?
6:00 pm
jaxx7
Worked up + opposite of off
6:00 pm
uusue2
it's a baryon containing strange quark(s) (but no heavier quarks)
6:01 pm
Bugsaw
thanks everyone
6:01 pm
jaxx7
The definition is gobbledygook to me
6:03 pm
Bugsaw
I would rather be a strange quark than a heavy one
6:03 pm
uusue2
sorry! baryons are particles like protons and neutrons that contain three quarks, but protons and neutrons only contain what we call "up" and "down" quarks. We have now discovered four more kinds of quarks, all unstable, so particles containing them decay very fast and are only seen in cosmic rays or particle accelerators
6:03 pm
Bugsaw
Should be a song about that
6:03 pm
jaxx7
After my stressful day, I am off to my bed. tc all.
6:04 pm
uusue2
the "strange" quarks were the first non-ordinary quarks to be discovered, back in the 1950s, although people didn't know about quarks back then
6:04 pm
uusue2
anyway, I hope you have a much better day tomorrow, jaxx!! you take care too.
6:04 pm
Bugsaw
sleep deeply jaxx and try to let this day go
6:09 pm

oops, just noticed the time - must take Frank to a board meeting. Be back later for my last 25...

Lauren Bacall has died? Oh no! 3 lots of bad news today then, beginning with learning of Robin Williams' suicide, then finding out that a local lady who went missing 3 weeks ago has been found dead (no foul play suspected) and now this. :(
7:22 pm
crosshair
I jjust got the news feed about her 9 minutes ago
7:24 pm
Jacula
As a smoker, she did pretty well to live to 89.
7:24 pm
crosshair
89 is a respectable age
7:25 pm
Jacula
RW was only 63 and so wracked by depression that he felt hanging himself was the only way out of the pit. Awful for both him and his family. The local lady I mentioned was only 52. Don't know cause of death yet.
7:27 pm
crosshair
a french person of low rank
7:27 pm
Jacula
kje - ro8 was a new word for me. It means a 'pleb', a person of low rank. Sounds a bit like someone who makes French outfits - 'co' word that, though.
7:28 pm

Do you need a more broken-down clue, kje?
7:29 pm

Has she ever wrong-sided you, Crossy, like my Other Half reckons I once did to him when he held out a gentelmanly hand to help me over a wide bit of run-out from the sea? I say he threw me over his shoulder and we both landed on our backs on the sand. He says, I threw him! Stepdaughter was dying to laugh and just let out a few squeaks until we both started laughing, once we'd got our breath back. :)
8:15 pm
Jacula
ruru - where did you get the bondage thing from? I'll tie you up, if that's what you really want. LOL
