it's okay, friends. apart from the nasty jolt awake, no harm done. sprite, you said you were tired still. another pear-shaped night, hun?
1:47 am

1:47 am

g'day worzel. i know you are lurking, mate. nice to see that you are still with us. at least in spirit...lol
1:47 am
Lizlin
Hi Worz - from me too :)
1:48 am
grannyrose
yeah well running from appointment to appointment doesn't give you much of a relaxing time.
1:49 am
sprite
no, and having to shop and cook for 3 days in succession is still too much for me, apparently. But Rob is back home now, he will shop and cook today. I will do laundry, terra and tonight the dishes. That is all.
1:50 am
grannyrose
just make sure th4 is all, young lady.
1:51 am
Lizlin
Next time insist on kids making pasta or sandwiches one night!

I saw some woman walking down a public city street, wearing pajamas and a bathrobe. How lazy can you get??
9:53 am
Judi
That was this morning, by the way.
9:54 am
PastorJ
I once had a coworker whose abusive husband locked her out when she stepped out in her bathrobe to put out the trash; she had to walk quite a ways to get to a friend who would help her. you just never know!
9:55 am
Judi
Well, this woman was walking with a man and a dog on a leash. It looked a little too routine to me.
9:56 am
PastorJ
glad to know he didn't have the woman on a leash! ;->
9:56 am
PastorJ
...or did you mean the woman had both the man and the dog on a leash? ;->
9:56 am
Judi
lol. Well yes, points for that at least.
9:57 am
MollyL
I see women in the grocery store all the time in fuzzy pajama pants and fuzzy slippers. Apparently, getting dressed to go out is no longer a requirement.
9:57 am
jacq
it's a lack of self resepct
9:57 am
Judi
I think that outfit is required for Walmart.
9:57 am
Judi
Either lack of self respect or just "I don't give a shit".
9:58 am
dan2bit
I think when you're carrying your social network with you in your pocket wherever you go, you end up not thinking as much about the people in your "face to face" world. Not necessarily a good thing.
9:58 am
MollyL
Oh man 2Bit, that is sad, but probably true.
10:00 am
MollyL
Speaking of sad but true, this is an excerpt from an article about the winner of the Miss America pageant.
"For her talent performance, Kazantsev sang Pharrell Williams' "Happy"
while sitting cross-legged on the stage and banging a red plastic cup on the floor."
10:00 am
Judi
Once upon a time, people would have assumed someone dressed like that had just walked away from a hospital or escaped from a mental institution.
10:02 am

12:52 pm

I feel they will vote no when it comes to the crunch.
12:54 pm
bichon
Personally, I hope that. The have much more to gain by staying in the UK
12:55 pm
MollyL
From what I have read, there could be ways to avoid a credit crunch. Personally, I am for Scotland having their independence.
12:59 pm
zoozzoom
Well for me I would like it to saty as part of the UK. Selfish reaons as I have always known England to include Scotland. But if they get the independance that some are seeking. Then I will be happy for them also. Sorry if I used any words that got me into the PB. But I could not be bothered to check :-)
12:59 pm

I was reading Paul Krugman, economic columist for the Times and he didn't think thing would be better for the Scots. What monetary unit would they use?

Well, I won't get into a political thing about Scotland since it seems to make some people petulant.

1:03 pm
zoozzoom
Yes there is a lot of tit for tat tactics going on, Bichon about companies moving to the south if Scotland get the yes vote and the prime minister going to Scotland and trying his talk to persuade not sure voters and trying scare tactics.Not into all that as I do not know how much is true..lol But I am sure scotish people are not stupid. They will choose what they think is right for them.

the re are not too weird, as far as weird goes in this grid
1:10 pm
MLFAN17
lol kje is that supposed to make it easier for anyone to magically find them?
1:11 pm
MollyL
Thanks Zoom, I feel the same way. As far as Scotland goes, I can see why they would want their independence. I think it's easy for people who have not lived under the rule of another country to dismiss that desire of theirs.

However, if the vote is "no", I will assume that there are not enough people interested in real independence. Kind of like those who live at home with Mom and Dad all their lives.

1:17 pm

Well Ireland went independant way back in the early 1920 something not sure about the date to be honest. seemed to work for them.I am not sure about what happens though if Scotland get independance.All this talk about they can not use the pound. Who will own the oil in the north sea etc
1:20 pm
MollyL
Claiming independence is not an easy thing, to be sure. But I think people have a right to live in a country governed by their own people. We Americans are uppity that way since we claimed our independence 238 years ago. : D
1:21 pm
MollyL
And Ireland is not completely independent yet.
1:22 pm
zoozzoom
There was a poll done recently in the UK about if Scotland get their independance a high percentage of people said stuff them they can have it. I am thinking ..hang on ..they are next door neighbours..we can trade with them for starters.We should be supporting one another not getting all up our own bottoms and getting a stiff upper lip.
1:22 pm
zoozzoom
Yes well that is an issue that will run & run I feel, Molly. re: Northern Ireland.
1:23 pm
MollyL
I wish more people felt the way you did Zoom.
1:24 pm
MollyL
Again, "stuff them, they can have their independence" smacks of people who have never lived under the rule of another country.
1:25 pm

The UK is a rather small island not a huge continent like the US and lots of us have Scots, Welsh, Irish and English blood in our veins. David Cameron's heritage is also Scottish. We do NOT rule the Scots or the others they vote for their own Members of Parliament who sit in Westminster, which happens to be in London. I don't want a split but we all have a democratic choice and whatever will be, will be.
1:48 pm
Patxxx
PS I live in the North of England which is not too far from the Scottish border and within easy reach of Wales and Ireland. The US probably has beaches bigger than the UK so don't read our history as if we are all strangers here. We have always thought the UK would play and flight together and it's a shock to think we might end up with border controls etc to go see relatives up the road. It's a wee bit frightening!
1:54 pm
sammysmom
you are right pat.. we have states bigger than the uk. i imagine it would be like a total separation from a child or a parent to be a separate entity. the social, emotional and legal problems are just way too big to contemplate

we treat ourselves to lobster and Dungeness crab every now and then, but it's nothing like fresh out of the sea

5:26 pm

Do they still air that show about those crab boats on the Bearing sea? I kind of liked that one and is one of only a handful of shows I miss after having no cable for what soon will be 2 years

I keep hearing rumours that we are going to be able to customise our "packages" on cable and/or satellite TV. I hate having to buy one package just to get one or two favourite channels.
5:31 pm
crosshair
yes diane, the "a la carte" programming. we have been waiting years for that as well. i got tired of waiting
5:32 pm
crosshair
the original idea was that you got the basic pack, then you would add ten or 20 channels of your choice for a fixed rate
5:33 pm
dianedecoder
I'm all for cutting back to basic TV as well, as I watch very little television..... it's the "other half" who realy enjoys his TV. :-)
5:33 pm
crosshair
my ten would be TLC, discovery, Nat geo, AMC, Dejaview.. and I would have to think on the rest
5:34 pm

very interesting. i saw a fella who did his entire kitchen floor in pennies, polished them all up and put a clear-coat over it all. looks very nice and is inexpensive as far as floor coverings go.
5:47 pm

I think we all have jars of obsolete pennies laying around now:)
5:48 pm

it was well past its prime. When it costs two cents to make a penny, it is time for it to go:)

YAY, gremlinn!!! WTG!!!
10:00 pm
Nef
Sometimes it goes like that, doesn't it?
10:00 pm
gremlinn
Yeah, a blind spot
10:00 pm
stidmama
((((((((NEF))))))))
10:01 pm
stidmama
yay gremlinn!
10:01 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams book....
10:01 pm
Nef
(((((stid)))))
10:01 pm
stidmama
also hello lurkers!!!
10:01 pm
stidmama
Nef! I learned something! Never assume you can teach little kids just because you can teach older kids! *"argh" teacher look*
10:02 pm
gremlinn
The younger, the harder to teach, I'd suspect!
10:02 pm
stidmama
and I also learned that EVERY virus in that community is new to me. I have been there for ten days with students in the room and have had two viruses already.
10:02 pm
Nef
LOL!!! stid, little kids love you more! ;-)
10:03 pm
Nef
Yep. It's important you build up your immunity by taking care of yourself, stid
10:04 pm
stidmama
true that! :-D
10:04 pm
gremlinn
double PB, stid! :)
10:04 pm
stidmama
profound thought about to be unleashed on the chog...
10:04 pm
stidmama
third graders are DIFFERENT from eighth graders!
10:04 pm
stidmama
no way! where????
10:04 pm
stidmama
oh carp. *sitting in PB*
10:04 pm
gremlinn
true that
10:05 pm
Nef
THat means try to cut back on the stress you put on yourself, stid. (I'm a fine one to talk, right?)
10:05 pm
stidmama
didn't have those yet, thanks for pointing th4 out!
10:05 pm
stidmama
doing that -- going to sleep early, slept all weekend (this virus is worse compared to the first), and taking echinacea and drinking lots of things with vitamin c
10:07 pm
Nef
Salt water gargles, and (even thought they say newer research says it doesn't work) I still use the zinc lozenges
10:08 pm
stidmama
ah, salt water. Forgot that one. GrannyRose reminded me that steam might help, so will take a lovely hot shower before I turn in tonight.
10:08 pm
Nef
Are you using the salt water nasal sprays too.
10:09 pm
Nef
Hot shower should definitely feel good, moisture /humidity always helps
10:10 pm
stidmama
no, no way to do them any more, but haven't had any sinusitis, just a terrible post-nasal drip that has lodged in my lungs.
10:10 pm
stidmama
Grant and Tom are taking extra-good care of me since I was hired. A couple more weeks and I might be able to revert to human again.
10:10 pm
rururocks
maybe take a shower and read James Bond's books by Ian Phleming stid
10:12 pm
Nef
not at the same time, ruru
10:12 pm
stidmama
rofl ruru!!!! LOVE his books when I am sick actually, they are bizarre enough that I manage to forget for a while how yucky I feel.
10:12 pm
stidmama
I think I can guess how you want the vote to go on Thursday, ruru?
10:12 pm
stidmama
no, but I do have that lovely soaking tub, Nef... I could read and soak...
10:13 pm
stidmama
maybe with a nice glass of wine. Something good for a deep hacking cough. Probably a red wine, with a lot of oak in it.
10:13 pm
rururocks
I think it's pretty obvious about Scotland.. it's time
10:13 pm
Nef
:-) Sounds like a plan.
10:14 pm
rururocks
something with lemon and honey sounds better stid with junk in the throat
10:14 pm
rururocks
red wine will taste metallic with a virus
10:14 pm
Nef
YES! Great idea, ruru!
10:15 pm
rururocks
maybe a hot toddy
10:15 pm
stidmama
I think there are some good reasons for and good reasons against. I think the time for making necessary changes to the status quo that would make staying in the UK passed long ago...
10:15 pm
stidmama
I have tea with honey, and thanks to Nef reminding me, zinc lozenge with mallow and slippery elm.
10:16 pm
Nef
that should help a lot stid
10:17 pm
stidmama
Red wine usually has too much tannin for me, but I was thinking it would cut some of the thickness...
10:18 pm
stidmama
but I think with the tea, zinc, hot shower... I will be good for tonight. :-D
10:18 pm
rururocks
young red wine has tannin stid.. you need something aged
10:18 pm
stidmama
meantime, I am up to 88 words already!
10:18 pm
stidmama
hm. OLD, like me?
10:18 pm
rururocks
1/3 done stid
10:19 pm
rururocks
sure.. or older like me :D
10:19 pm
rururocks
I'm old enough to be your Father I bet
10:19 pm
Nef
I've just hit 101; but I'm tired tonight and am only trying for half of the grid
10:19 pm
stidmama
:-) my goal tonight is just 100. Too tired to try the whole thing
10:20 pm
rururocks
I have to finish them
10:20 pm
mkg
not a bad grid stid. i have 130. got more than 1oo myself.
10:20 pm

not a bad grid stid. i have 130. got more than 1oo myself.
10:20 pm
stidmama
No, you might be an older brother or cousin, though I think. You talk like you are about a decade older than I am. If we hadn't just had to get a brand-new mortgage I would be retiring in about 15 years. As it is, and since I love teaching so much, I might just go for the full 30.
10:21 pm
Nef
I received a medical report for my doctor after some testing, he told me what the medical condition is and "that it isn't uncommon in older women…." Thanks , doc!!!
10:21 pm
stidmama
I like to finish the grids, but usually it's not possible. My status in the rankings has fallen off completely since I started grad school about 5 years ago.
10:21 pm
rururocks
how old are you stid.. if you don't mind me asking? 41? 42?
10:21 pm
stidmama
ugh. HE could work on his "bedside manner" a bit, the young whippersnapper...
10:21 pm
stidmama
oh no, ruru -- considerably older!
10:21 pm
rururocks
oh wow
10:22 pm
gremlinn
I'm 38, still a baby.
10:22 pm
rururocks
I thought you were younger
10:22 pm
stidmama
almost to "red hat society" status (but not quite)
10:22 pm
rururocks
you are a young'un gremlinn
10:22 pm
Nef
I'm guessing your 48 or so stid
10:22 pm
stidmama
ah, a wee young thing you are, gremlinn!
10:22 pm
gremlinn
But I'm older than I've ever been before, anyway.
10:22 pm
Nef
38 was a fun time! :-)
10:23 pm
rururocks
I hear that gremlinn
10:23 pm
gremlinn
Last year I got to quote Monty Python and say "I'm 37! I'm not old!"
10:23 pm
stidmama
true. 38 was a great year for me. One kid was 12, one was 10.
10:23 pm
rururocks
I'll be celebrating my next birthday in NYC
10:23 pm
stidmama
late 30s, in looking back, were very pleasant.
10:24 pm
stidmama
at the time, I was too young to appreciate them... LOL
10:24 pm
rururocks
40 was really fun for me
10:24 pm
stidmama
really?? what fun!
10:24 pm
mkg
38 was a good time. i had kids ages 4, 8, 10, 12 and 16. and last kid wasnt born til i was 42.
10:24 pm
mkg
at 38 i felt that i was the luckiest lady. and i was
10:24 pm
rururocks
holy cow mkg
10:25 pm
rururocks
that's a ton of kids
10:25 pm
Nef
At 38 my oldest was a first grader...
10:25 pm
gremlinn
Not literally I hope - it would take a couple dozen kids to reach a ton of them.
10:25 pm
stidmama
that is a LOT of kids, but at least they had a mother who loved them. I love my boys, but more than two would have stretched me a little thinner than I had energy for.
10:26 pm
rururocks
I skipped the kidlets.. no little ruru's running around
10:27 pm
stidmama
I think you would have made a fine pater familias, ruru...
10:27 pm
stidmama
for what it's worth. :-D
10:27 pm
rururocks
naw.. I don't think so
10:27 pm
Nef
Same here, stid. When I was a young kid, I loved babysitting and I wanted to have 6 kids. I had 2 and they used up all my energy...
10:27 pm
rururocks
thanks though..
10:27 pm
stidmama
You pretend to be grumpy, but you are kind and thoughtful.
10:28 pm
rururocks
I'm never grumpy here :D
10:28 pm
stidmama
HA! I knew it!
10:28 pm
gremlinn
I pretend to be self-contradictory, but I am.
10:28 pm
rururocks
you are an enigma gremlinn
10:29 pm
Nef
I agree with stid about you ruru. But if you didn't have a good role model it's tough to be the parent you'd want to be
10:29 pm
rururocks
I had crappy role models.. and a lousy childhood
10:29 pm
stidmama
LOL gremlinn
10:29 pm
Nef
and yes, gremlin is an enigma. :-)
10:29 pm
rururocks
I was always afraid I'd repeat my parents mistakes
10:30 pm
stidmama
ruru, I completely understand. I am sorry your childhood wasn't pleasant.
10:30 pm
Nef
We talked about that many years ago, ruru.
10:32 pm
rururocks
such is life though isn't it. I'm happy now. They only ruined 16 years of my life. I've enjoyed the rest
10:32 pm
stidmama
I am very glad to hear that, ruru! Being happy is hard to come by in this world. ((hugs))
10:33 pm
Nef
So you grew up and became a crazy punned on a word game….
10:33 pm
rururocks
you guys bring the punning out of me.. normally I'm very quiet and soft spoken.. ask Doren
10:34 pm
stidmama
hm. *looks for Doren*
10:35 pm
stidmama
ooooh. DOWN to 100. My work here is done... LOL
10:35 pm
rururocks
take care of yourself stid. hope you feel better
10:36 pm
stidmama
thanks ruru. A nice long sleep after I finish this tea and I think we'll be in good shape. **leaves choclits on sideboard* see you-all again soon I hope! *poof*
10:37 pm
rururocks
night stid
10:39 pm
Nef
Niters stid; take care of yourself!
10:41 pm
RoundBarn
hi nef and goodnight. I had 100 on my lawn yesterday celebrating the dedication of my Little Free Library--saw them in Minnesota!
10:42 pm
Nef
I'was entering all sorts of words and just looked up and --nothing entered. I was seeing the ht as th and had tons of words that weren't there.
10:42 pm
RoundBarn
and go to Wis tomorrow to meet Swedes coming to see the farm--there is no farm.
10:42 pm
Nef
Hi RoundBarn
10:43 pm
Nef
how can they see a farm that isn't there?
10:44 pm
Nef
And I have a box of books for your free library too? That's quite a celebration you had for your dedication!
10:44 pm
gremlinn
Is that like how when someone "buys the farm" they can't see anything at all afterward?
10:45 pm
Nef
I've always thought that term meant they died, gremlinn
10:45 pm
RoundBarn
Fell asleep watching the Roosevelts ar friends--so this is brief respite before bed, and going to Wis tomorrow. In addition, Elle's kids are in some trauma, their dad committed suicide so I may stay in Wis and just be a presence while they adjust to school
10:45 pm
gremlinn
Yes, exactly
10:45 pm
RoundBarn
the suiciede was in July but its hit the kids hard as you can imagine--
10:46 pm
RoundBarn
e
lle wishes he'd done it when they were 4 and 6 rather than 12 and 14.
10:46 pm
Nef
oh, my, RoundBarn! im so sorry to hear that!
10:48 pm
Nef
oh dear. I understand her feelings, but it's terrible at any age. (our ex D-I-L is threatening to do the same again...
10:49 pm
RoundBarn
Yeah. Pretty bad summer. The swedes worked on the farm in the 60's, hey don't know it's gone. So I'll drive them around Turtle township and Rock County and give them the books-- vol 3 is out now, have I sent you yours, Nef?--and, our wonderful house got moved so they can see that and the mural barn got moved, too. So I'm going so they won't be totally disappointed. I can also take muy computer and let them hear Dad talking to people they knew.
10:49 pm
Nef
Where will you be staying in Wis?
10:51 pm
RoundBarn
At Elle's. It's only 18 miles from where the farm was. And I can be with the kids some.
10:52 pm
RoundBarn
I know you're tending Ronnie and so he is having a good childhood now.
10:53 pm
Nef
Okay. I think I do have Vol 3, RoundBarn, but I don't see it right now.
10:53 pm
RoundBarn
Signing off. It's a long drive tomorrow and I'm not ready--I'll have a few hours in the morning. Goodnight, Nef--also Gremlin and Ruru o if still there. I lurk and listen to you, talk when Nef comes on.
10:54 pm
Nef
He has so much anger at times though. My son says he thinks I'm trying to be his Mom, but I really am not. He's a big Kindergatener now!
10:54 pm
Nef
Niters RB. Take care and drive safe!
10:55 pm
RoundBarn
Still, better for him to be with you. Sorry Frank's had a set back, and that you're getting a vacation. (See, I lurk and don't comment!)
10:56 pm
RoundBarn
correction--glad you're getting a vacation. Goodnight.
10:56 pm
Nef
(We need to meet up again sometime soon!)
10:58 pm
RoundBarn
I hope to get up to work with Jerry again, but not till Nov at earliest. again goodnight.
10:58 pm
Nef
(((Good Night RB)))

Nef

11:19 pm
Nef
How are you tonight, o-o?
11:20 pm
gremlinn
mass * velocity, then take the plural, then take off the first letter
11:25 pm
Nef
And I'm not finding many words now; so will quit for the night! Good Night and Happy Babbling, Everyone!~!
11:26 pm
Marc Freeman
sorry Nef didn't get your stomach lining clue?
11:27 pm
gremlinn
I think she meant the definition of the om6 (which was my last clue)
11:29 pm
Marc Freeman
yes but it still illuded me
11:30 pm
gremlinn
om4 (foreboding) + a short word some people use for goodbye
