grannyrose

oh for goodness sake, ruby!! how on earth did you do that?

3:17 am

grannyrose

do you have the antibiotic eye-drops or cream?

3:17 am

I tried no to touch anything! And used hand sanitizer when I got home, but I must have touched my eyes while there. Dumb moi

3:18 am

rubyfoo

Since it's probably viral,like a cold,I am just bathing my eye with articifical tears andwill see what happens.

3:18 am

grannyrose

ugh, ruby...don't you have enough to deal with, dear?

3:18 am

rubyfoo

It's no big deal and I am very reluctant to use asntibiotics

4:41 am

4:42 am

grannyrose

i did email you dear....but this is so much better.

4:42 am

sprite

:D sister in sausage!

4:46 am

grannyrose

4:49 am

sprite

phantom: hitherto

4:49 am

grannyrose

we saw some amazing canna lilies and grasses in master's. i think...and himself agrees...we need to visit the local council for advice.

4:49 am

sprite

oh wow!

4:50 am

grannyrose

we have a small part, at the front of our block, which never dries out...even during summer.

4:50 am

sprite

such a joy, beautiful flowers

4:51 am

grannyrose

we are at the bottom of the slope in our road...everybodies water drains into our block.

4:51 am

sprite

so in summer you go to your neighbours and tell them they should water more often :)

4:52 am

grannyrose

we have found 4 canna lilies which should thrive in our backyard...i have suggested rose for a start in the front yard.

4:53 am

sprite

awesome :)

4:53 am

grannyrose

ahem...* roses *

4:53 am

sprite

do you think you'd do well in the front yard, darling? Would hate to have to uproot you...

4:53 am

grannyrose

although...himself did slow at the fertiliser for roses...and said...see, you would grow really well with this stuff....

4:54 am

sprite

roflol, Don an me both!

4:54 am

grannyrose

4:54 am

4:55 am

4:58 am

grannyrose

5:04 am

sprite

I really don't understand why he7/32 is a word, but he5 isn't.

5:05 am

grannyrose

sprite, i did write to pugs...i am not sure i can afford both her's and roy's airfare over to you and rubyfoo.

5:07 am

sprite

aw sweetie. We'll see how things work out. It might be ok for him to let her go for a couple of weeks... or he can pay his own way... please please don't worry about it.

5:07 am

grannyrose

*giggle* yeah, sprite, why isn't he5 in the dictionary?

5:08 am

sprite

in our dictionary? Because it isn't funny. Just a word that should be valid.

5:08 am

grannyrose

i hear you sprite....i will try to sort it out closer to the time.

5:09 am

grannyrose

ugh...i was talking about the enable dictionary...and now....

5:09 am

car.eeyore

Trif's Primo would do something like that.

7:35 am

Soodle

Yup. We'll give Michael Flattley a run for his money.

7:36 am

Riverdance

Your on

7:36 am

Soodle

Crossy cheeky?? Never!

7:36 am

car.eeyore

I am very excited today...Dylan has his first violin lesson! He asked to learn how to play!

7:36 am

:)

7:36 am

Riverdance

When do you visit Ruby?

7:36 am

Riverdance

Good for Dylan

7:37 am

Soodle

It willbe May, hopefully. Should have been April - then my daughter bought me a Christmas gift of a week in Gran Canaria in April! Lucky ole me, eh?

7:38 am

Riverdance

I always wished to learn a musical instrument but my folks couldnt afford it.

7:38 am

car.eeyore

Wow! Nice!

7:38 am

car.eeyore

Do it now River!

7:38 am

Riverdance

Wow that is awesome

7:38 am

Soodle

Car, my first thought was - RuRu's dog is learning the violin???

7:39 am

car.eeyore

Now that would be something!

7:39 am

Riverdance

I should

7:39 am

Riverdance

Lol soodle

7:39 am

car.eeyore

I may join him, but learn the cello

7:40 am

Soodle

My younger daughter plays the violin, guitar, mandolin, ukelele & drums. She's actually quite good.

7:40 am

Riverdance

I love thecello and bass

7:40 am

car.eeyore

The woman teaching Dylan can play any instrument, but her main one is violin.

7:40 am

Riverdance

Wow again.

7:41 am

Soodle

I'd loveto be able to play the saxophone. My favourite instrument.

7:41 am

car.eeyore

Zack is learning to play that now...you would fit right in he4 Soodle!

7:41 am

Riverdance

You are jazzy!

7:42 am

MollyL

*Puts on some Coltrane for Soodle*

7:42 am

Soodle

Lol.

7:42 am

Riverdance

I was thinking piano.

7:43 am

Riverdance

We could have our own babble band

7:43 am

Soodle

Thanks Molls :-). The opening of Your Latest Trick by Dire Straits just melts me.

7:43 am

Soodle

Band of Babblers!

7:44 am

MollyL

Oh no, no Babble Band. The bar tab would be astronomical.

7:44 am

car.eeyore

No, the band gets fr4 drinks!

7:44 am

Riverdance

But the PB would be a fun place with all that jamming

7:45 am

Soodle

Yeah. And people would throw money at us. (Maybe tomake us stop...)

7:47 am

Riverdance

I need to get up and walk my cane so later folks. So happy to see you all.

7:47 am

MollyL

Yes Car, I know the band gets free drinks. But the tab they would run up would be too big for any bar owner to spot.

7:47 am

car.eeyore

Never! The cabana boys will pool their tips together to cover us!

7:48 am

MollyL

Rose colored glasses live

7:48 am

7:52 am

Diet coke for me with a dollop of Captain in it, please

7:54 am

crosshair

your mention of the sax had me end up listening to Kenny G. i had forgotten how good he is:))

7:54 am

MollyL

Nope, sorry, I don't serve diet drinks anymore. Too much gunk in them.

7:55 am

car.eeyore

Fireworks!

7:55 am

car.eeyore

Ok...just the rum then

7:55 am

crosshair

Diet soda is too full of crap.. shudder.

7:55 am

car.eeyore

Regular coke makes my face hurt...waaaaay to sweet

7:56 am

car.eeyore

Any clues needed before I go?

7:56 am

crosshair

Yes, stay with the rum and a splash of water to release the aromas. much better for you

7:56 am

crosshair

by splash i mean 1-2 tbs

7:57 am

car.eeyore

Three fingers...of a linebacker!

7:57 am

crosshair

ahh, the old three fingers measure:))

7:57 am

MollyL

Measure? What is measure? : D

7:58 am

crosshair

Used to love that with my big paws. three of my fingers come 3/4 of the way up the side of a whiskey tumbler;)

You're welcome. Another frozen day here in Illinois.

8:40 am

fuzzybunny

And in Maine as well.

8:42 am

fuzzybunny

Paul I see you are new here, welcome!

8:44 am

PaulN

thanks fuzzy... I love the word games. This one I'm not sure of because after sifting through words I know, then it becomes so tedious having to trudge through to complete.

8:44 am

PaulN

tire

8:45 am

PaulN

and... I'm not good about switching back to the add word box after I've commented on here. Ugh

8:45 am

mattygroves

Three left - anyone care to aid? I'm after re6/21

8:47 am

Frances

re6/21 employ someone again

8:47 am

fuzzybunny

Paul, have you discovered Lickety's Babble Clues or Lickety Pro? They are very helpful in finding the obscure words.

8:47 am

fuzzybunny

Ty, Frances!

8:48 am

mattygroves

How do I miss such obvious words?

8:48 am

Frances

You're welcome

8:48 am

mattygroves

I'm now afraid to ask for the other two - they're probably dead simple

8:48 am

fuzzybunny

Precisely because they are so obvious!

8:48 am

PaulN

oh yes, my routine is after trying the words on my own, to then use lickety, and then after that going to a page with "with that start with.." then the fourth page I open is for definitions to hopefully learn the new word.. it all starts taking a loooong time

8:48 am

fuzzybunny

The simple ones always trip us up.

8:48 am

Frances

I usually miss the ones spelled out across a row.

8:49 am

mattygroves

Hah! I've missed those. Or singulars of plurals I already have

8:49 am

PaulN

does lickety pro offer something good that would speed this up?

8:50 am

mattygroves

Paul, the Expert tool allows you to have one box to enter words (if one word) or chat (if several) and automatically enters words into Lickety's list for you. Having said that, it doesn't work on Mac.

8:50 am

fuzzybunny

Paul, the easiest site to use for finding words is morewords.com

8:50 am

PaulN

ooohhh... Thanks for the suggestions. I'll likely try both.

8:51 am

mattygroves

The other thing I often do wrong is looking (say) for a six when I should, in fact, be looking for a five

8:51 am

fuzzybunny

The expert tool also let's you have open on the right hand side morewords, which will help you find any word.

8:52 am

mattygroves

Am I again missing something obvious for the non-reflective mi6/21 and the ar6/24? Those are my last two

8:52 am

fuzzybunny

Here is the link for Lickety Expert

8:52 am

fuzzybunny

http://r46.me/BabbleClues.html

8:52 am

robwhy

Clearly does not work on Mac. Bummer

8:52 am

crosshair

ty for ne 7, Paul

8:53 am

mattygroves

Nope, it doesn't. My home computer is a Mac (on it now) so I go the tedious route :)

8:53 am

pippingeek

matty, the ar6 is like body protection with a different spelled ending - think a 4 letter word you already have

8:53 am

Frances

How do you get Lickety to open morewords on the right? I have to open that in a separate window.

8:53 am

robwhy

I just fill in as many as I can, watch for clues and then give up

8:54 am

o-o

mi + many wedding cakes have more than one layer: ****

8:54 am

fuzzybunny

On the top tool bar click on options and then in the dropdown click on morewords and it will open on the right hand side. Then you can resize that window by moving the dotted line bar.

8:55 am

PaulN

robwhy... I have strongly considered that plan.

8:55 am

crosshair

ty for ar 6, pippin

8:55 am

mattygroves

Thank you o-o

8:55 am

fuzzybunny

Good clue o-o, thanks

8:56 am

PaulN

My ideal of babble would probably be to give it about a half hour time limit with no ability to use outside sources.

8:56 am

crosshair

for for mi 6/21 o-o

8:56 am

pippingeek

ty o-o

8:56 am

pippingeek

but then it would be boggle

8:56 am

crosshair

I would hate having to play babble while racing the clock

8:57 am

crosshair

try that with the 744 word monster we had once, paul:)

8:57 am

PaulN

mi 6/21.. take a good look at yourself when asking.

8:57 am

Frances

Brilliant! Thank you. It is actually the resourses tab, not options.

8:57 am

mattygroves

Thank you pippin - that's me all done - FW

8:57 am

fuzzybunny

I enjoy the luxury of finding a few words, walking away, and then coming back for more.

8:57 am

PaulN

good point crosshair

8:57 am

robwhy

I play every day with no expectation of fireworks lol

8:58 am

PaulN

robwhy... i start that way... but then the competitive drive kicks in and i just HAVE to finish the darned thing.

8:58 am

fuzzybunny

Glad that helped Francis. I didn't have Lickety open when I gave those directions.

8:58 am

crosshair

Babble works because it is laid back. if you really want a race, paul. If you prefer to play fast we have a group that plays the grid at the "flip" and they pride themselves on finishing as fast as possible with little or no clues.

8:59 am

pippingeek

yay, early NBT, now i can get to the meat of things

8:59 am

robwhy

If I had to finish it I'd have to sit here all day and all night

8:59 am

PaulN

and fuzzybunny... i agree with you too.. i love coming back to the game and thinking, 'oh, there it is." i love finding those new ones.

8:59 am

Frances

Thank you fuzzy. I now have the perfect setup.

'morning folks

9:00 am

crosshair

Howdy, welki

9:00 am

pippingeek

hi welki!

9:00 am

o-o

I only finish the grids in which I find all the words.

9:00 am

fuzzybunny

Sometimes after I walk away from a grid my brain will keep working and I will have to run back to the laptop and try the new word I just thought of.

9:00 am

PaulN

crosshair... yes, the laid back is good. but after I've found the first half of the words... it no longer becomes relaxing, but more like a chore.

9:00 am

pippingeek

me too, o-o

9:00 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

3 degrees and piles of snow here.

9:02 am

pippingeek

oof, scrabs, that sounds rough

9:03 am

crosshair

paul the first year I played this game, i used to kill myself to finish every grid, every day. That eases for most over time. I have learned over the years that there are other qualities that babble is unique in possessing as far as word games go. I no longer have a mad obsession to finsih every grid;)

9:03 am

Scrabbler

The major routes are closed around BUffalo, but I am fine down south here.

9:03 am

fuzzybunny

10 degrees here and wishing for piles of snow.

9:03 am

crosshair

tons of snow here and minus 14C

9:03 am

PaulN

thanks welki. i took a quick look. that might indeed be what I'm looking for. I used to LOVE playing Yahoo's Word Racer and they took it down.

9:03 am

Scrabbler

I cross-country skied yesterday and it was wonderful on piles of powdery snow.

9:03 am

pippingeek

i still like to finish every grid I play, but some days I come in just to socialize and don't actually start the grid (I am a little compulsive about my stats)

9:04 am

fuzzybunny

I like your weather crossy!

9:04 am

welki

there are scads of former word racers at serpentine, paul - you'll no doubt meet up with some of your old friends

9:04 am

pippingeek

I mainly play on the weekends because then I know I will have time to finish

9:04 am

PaulN

-2 and small drifts on the Illinois plains. brrr

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, same here. I HAD to finish every grid the first few years, then I stopped that. Now I aim to pass halfway on most grids. I finish the smaller ones.

9:05 am

crosshair

Bright blue sky and an amazing day to hit the trails!

9:05 am

welki

me too, scrabs (and crossy) - lost the 'need' to finish and to be here constantly to clue

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Sunny now but the snowband will hit us again soon.

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Life is easier without that obsession. I have so many other things to do.

9:08 am

Agreed, scrabby;if i need to obsess, i only need to bring out my novel-in-progress, or dive into my next thesis or assignment;)

What some refer to as an obsession, I find to be fun.

9:09 am

Hi All

1:14 pm

rururocks

gm mh wb

1:14 pm

hego

Glad Ruby got a laugh. :)

1:15 pm

hego

Ruru is speaking in tongues.

1:15 pm

rururocks

just abbreviated :D

1:15 pm

rururocks

trying to keep up with molly

1:15 pm

hego

(knew that)

1:16 pm

hego

Molly loves abbreviations.....NOT!

1:19 pm

hego

My favorite thing in Babble is when I get exasperated and just type in something ridiculous and it's accepted.

1:20 pm

rururocks

I tried that last night too with the ar6 and it worked

1:20 pm

hego

See! I'm onto something!

1:21 pm

cybernan

good morning/afternoon

1:22 pm

hego

Hi Nan, how are you?

1:25 pm

rururocks

you are enabling enable then hego

1:25 pm

cybernan

good thanks, hego

1:25 pm

hego

good one Ru.

1:25 pm

hego

Nan, what did you have done?

1:26 pm

cybernan

had the inside half of my right knee replaced

1:27 pm

hego

Oh, I had a total last year. It's painful.

1:27 pm

rururocks

I've always heard a full replacement is better nan is that not true

1:27 pm

cybernan

it is a quicker recovery than a full knee replacement because the kneecap isn't affected.

1:27 pm

hego

I have never heard of a partial. actually.

1:28 pm

hego

They make you walk immediately either way.

1:28 pm

cybernan

It depends on the problem, ruru -- in my case there was no cartilage loss on the outsides of my knees, but bone on bone on the insides

1:29 pm

rururocks

oh.. I need a full knee for sure on my left one.. someday

1:29 pm

hego

You will know when, Ruru.

1:30 pm

rururocks

that's what I'm afraid of
:D

1:30 pm

rururocks

probably when I have to get on my knees and start begging again :D

1:30 pm

hego

Poor baby.

1:31 pm

hego

That bone on bone stuff is a Bi 5!

1:31 pm

cybernan

a bit of advice for anyone looking at knee, hip or shoulder replacement....google bregg cryo-cuff -- best investment ever. When it is applied in the recovery room and worn 24/7 for the first 2 weeks, it cuts healing time in half!

1:32 pm

hego

Is that an icemachine?

1:32 pm

rururocks

i'll check in with you when I have it done nan

1:33 pm

cybernan

yes

1:33 pm

hego

I have one of those, but had to take it off for therapy.

1:34 pm

cybernan

mi6 following the reflector, please?

1:34 pm

hego

And when I couldn't stand it anymore. lol

1:34 pm

Nef

Good Afternoon, Everyone.

1:34 pm

rururocks

hi nef

1:34 pm

hego

Hi Nef.

1:34 pm

Nef

Wow, nan, you are doing marvelous!

1:34 pm

cybernan

of course, not to physio, but at home or in the car...

1:34 pm

rururocks

more mitt Romney nan

1:34 pm

Nef

hi ruru & hego

1:34 pm

hego

Don't have that Nan. Just looking at m.

1:35 pm

hego

loln good clue

1:35 pm

rururocks

(if our country can take it)

1:35 pm

hego

right

1:35 pm

cybernan

happy to say I was able to ditch the walker in favour of a cane around the house this morning.

1:36 pm

rururocks

ugh.. I don't do well with pain

1:36 pm

Nef

Good for you, nan! What kind of drugs are you on?

1:36 pm

hego

I was in rehab for 2 weeks Nan. Physio twice a day.

1:36 pm

cybernan

ty ruru

1:37 pm

cybernan

oh -- I will start physio 2x/week on Monday, but have daily exercises

1:37 pm

hego

I was on percocet. One or 2 as needed.

1:37 pm

hego

And I needed.

1:37 pm

rururocks

<would need stronger drugs that that <---weenie

1:38 pm

cybernan

just taking tylenol extra strength for the pain -- seems to be ok. Don't do well on the strong narcotics -- too many bad reactions.

1:38 pm

hego

Well they start you with morphine, Weenie.

1:39 pm

hego

I don't like them either, but before therapy, a good idea.

1:39 pm

Nef

I had the cartilage repaired on the inside of 1 knee and removed in the other; this was back in the '90's, and I just remember long rehabs for both (& it hurt -- A LOT!)

1:39 pm

hego

And after.

1:39 pm

Nef

I'm glad surgeries and pain meds have advanced over time...

1:39 pm

cybernan

can't take morphine -- tried hydromorphon this time, but it gave me the shakes, so got off it asap

1:39 pm

hego

Yes, Nef, very painful. But worth it.

1:40 pm

hego

Those drugs can be tough to take.

1:41 pm

rururocks

not for those with experience :d

1:41 pm

Nef

I'm like you nan, I can't take much of anything. They gave me percocet capsules, and we took out half the med but I still fell off my crutches so I stick with extra str. Tylenol now (allergic to NSAIDS)

1:42 pm

hego

uh oh

1:42 pm

rururocks

I can't take NSaids.. upsets my stomach too much

1:42 pm

rururocks

Tylenol is useless to me

1:42 pm

hego

I live on aleve.

1:43 pm

bichon

Can you take NSAIDs with food

1:43 pm

rururocks

I can't.. they really get to me

1:43 pm

hego

Always with food.

1:43 pm

Nef

yeah; but if it's the only pain med I can tolerate, I've convinced myself it helps.

1:43 pm

cybernan

aleve is hard on your liver, though

1:44 pm

rururocks

I think Tylenol is a placebo

1:44 pm

hego

I take only one a day. Liver doing fine.

1:44 pm

bichon

Tylenol is a very strong, non-narcotic pain reliever

1:44 pm

hego

Actually Tylenol is tougher on the liver.

1:44 pm

rururocks

hego (wine liver tested)

1:45 pm

Nef

I can take half a tramadol for severe pain; but even that knocks me out (now you know why I don't drink)

1:45 pm

hego

lolol true!

1:45 pm

rururocks

I could put my liver in the Olympics

1:46 pm

hego

Nef is an easy buzz.

1:46 pm

bichon

Not drinking alcohol helps with meds

1:46 pm

hego

I'm kind of jealous.

1:46 pm

rururocks

nef <---a cheap date

1:46 pm

cybernan

he 7, please?

1:46 pm

hego

I was thinking that also.

1:47 pm

rururocks

beneficiary of a trust nan

1:47 pm

bichon

inhe***, to get money from your parents when they die + a conjunction

1:47 pm

cybernan

ty ruru

1:47 pm

cybernan

it would be a fish!

1:47 pm

Nef

Yeah. so many kids have tried sucicide using Tylenol and killed their livers that now they are trying to cut out the extra strength Tylenol and cut out the arthritis str. Tylenol that it's going to be harder to get in the future

1:47 pm

rururocks

<:))))3)))><

1:47 pm

bichon

re 6, pls

1:48 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da! *!* -- gotta run -- kids arriving soon. hagd

1:48 pm

rururocks

to bring back an employee bichon

1:48 pm

hego

What about the folks who need those drugs, that isn't fair.

1:48 pm

rururocks

bye nan

1:48 pm

bichon

ty ru

1:49 pm

Nef

I AM a cheap date, ru. My DH used to tease me about that: he could "afford" to date me while he was in college! ;-)

1:49 pm

rururocks

awww

1:49 pm

Nef

YAY, Cybernan, WTG!!!

1:49 pm

hego

I would like to split a bottle of wine with Nef.

1:50 pm

Judi

*elbows hego out of the way and holds out glass for wine*.

1:50 pm

rururocks

<---would love to make a few cocktails for hego

1:50 pm

hego

Hey! Judi

1:50 pm

hego

Someday Ru.

1:51 pm

Judi

Hiya kids! The Dell tablet I got for Christmas bit it, so I'm back to using "old sparky" the desktop.

1:51 pm

hego

<---loves her desktop

1:51 pm

Nef

LOL! hego (&Judi) I'd have maybe 2 - 3 oz at most; Some sharing! :-)

1:52 pm

Judi

I'd actually prefer a desktop, but we'll see what Dell allows in the pending return.

1:52 pm

rururocks

<---has more than 3 oz

1:53 pm

hego

a lot more

1:53 pm

Judi

Yeah. 3 oz is like one mouthful.

1:53 pm

Nef

That is crazy, Judi! That's too soon for a tablet to die! (mine is 2 years old already

1:53 pm

rururocks

most of the wine I drink is lower alcohol though

1:53 pm

rururocks

not the high test California or Australian stuff

1:54 pm

hego

Like what, Ru?

1:54 pm

Judi

Tell me about it, Nef. I'm rather miffed about it. Has power, but now won't turn on. *grumble*

1:54 pm

Nef

I figured the bottle of wine we'd share would be - what? 8% at most?

1:54 pm

rururocks

mostly French and Italian country wines

1:55 pm

rururocks

I am liking simpler wines nowadays

1:55 pm

hego

No wonder I never get drunk over there.

1:55 pm

rururocks

HA.. that's probably because you eat a lot over there

1:56 pm

hego

:D

1:56 pm

Nef

What is the difference in alcohol, ruru?

1:56 pm

Nef

(percentages, I mean)

1:56 pm

rururocks

Many French wines I enjoy now are 12% - 12.5 %

1:57 pm

rururocks

Many California wines are 14.5% - 15%

1:57 pm

hego

Really!!

1:57 pm

rururocks

just due to sugars in the grapes and conversion mostly

1:57 pm

Nef

Yowser! I thought wines could only be up to 12%!

1:57 pm

hego

That IS high teat.

1:58 pm

rururocks

There are plenty towards 17%

1:58 pm

hego

um, high test.

1:58 pm

Judi

Wow. Glad I don't drink Cali wines. I prefer the New Zealand and Chilean varieties.

1:58 pm

hego

I like New Zealand

1:58 pm

rururocks

<---J'adore New Zealand

1:59 pm

hego

Marlborough

1:59 pm

Judi

Can I retire with you, ruru?

1:59 pm

Judi

I've never been there, but I want to live there.

1:59 pm

hego

I would rather retire in Napa myself.

1:59 pm

rururocks

hego

That's why you looked so fun.

2:05 pm

hego

Judi is a blonde. hehe

2:05 pm

Nef

I suppose, hego. I do like driving a fun car; but because DH is difficult to get in & out of a normal car height; we have a Rav4 (which I hate) :-(

2:05 pm

Judi

Well, I will be again when I get my roots touched up next weekend.

2:06 pm

hego

2:07 pm

hego

As long as you believe it, I guess.

2:08 pm

rururocks

some of me does :D

2:08 pm

Judi

I too had to up-size to a higher profile vehicle because of my balky back. Subaru Forester. Plus, it kicks ass in the snow. I just drive over the Fiats and other toy cars for extra traction.

2:08 pm

hego

I will not ask which part, I promise.

2:08 pm

rururocks

I have a lexus four wheeler too judi the SUV

2:09 pm

hego

Bill has an Outback and loves it.

2:11 pm

rururocks

I have two cars right now.. three this summer

2:11 pm

Nef

Wow. I missed some stuff lately; but didn't realize I've been missing THAT much

2:11 pm

hego

So what is the new one?

2:12 pm

Judi

He was spending too much time with his cars, Nef.

2:12 pm

rururocks

I'm going to get an R 8.. afterall

2:13 pm

Judi

Pardon my blondness, but what is an R 8 ?

2:13 pm

hego

2:13 pm

2:14 pm

Judi

Well, okay then! PUUUUURRRRRRR!

2:15 pm

rururocks

they have to give me papertowels when I go to the dealership

2:15 pm

hego

For the drool. I hope.

2:15 pm

Nef

Good for you, ruru. I wish you both the best in the future. (my son & his ex finalized their divorce in April; but all of a sudden, she has no place to live; so he's letting her stay at his place until she finds another place. (She's bipolar and currently ON meds; but still nuts)

2:16 pm

Judi

LOLOLOLOL. Well ,yes... the drooling can get embarassing.

2:16 pm

rururocks

yes

2:16 pm

Judi

Of course, splaying yourself across the hood and rubbing your face on the windshield is a dead giveaway too.

2:16 pm

hego

Not so good, Nef. You need to have closure.

2:17 pm

Judi

Then the salespeople do the drooling.

2:17 pm

rururocks

that's good news nef.. she DIL sounded like a load on the family

2:17 pm

rururocks

it's so funny judi.. the audi salespeople could care less..

2:18 pm

rururocks

2:18 pm

hego

they are filming it and posting on FB, for all you know.

2:19 pm

rururocks

filming what?

2:19 pm

hego

Your drooling performance.

2:19 pm

Judi

Apparently they can afford to be blase. They must sell a lot of Audis.

2:19 pm

MollyL

(Ru, you are supposed to be jealous of all the Facebook people who "know")

2:19 pm

rururocks

ah..

2:19 pm

Nef

They both totally need closure, hego. I'm trying to keep my nose out of it; but I worry about this for 2 reasons: my grandson definitely changes (for the worse) around her; and my son needs to get out & meet new people.

2:20 pm

hego

They are very popular right now.

2:20 pm

hego

Nice cars.

2:20 pm

rururocks

oh.. I don't really get the facebook thing

2:20 pm

hego

Just as well Ru.

2:21 pm

MollyL

Oh Nef, you need to give your son a swift kick in the behind. Hasn't he learned by now?

2:21 pm

hego

Nef, who has custody?

2:21 pm

rururocks

That's what I have come to

2:22 pm

Judi

What does the 8 start with?

2:23 pm

rururocks

he8

2:23 pm

Judi

Ty.

2:23 pm

Judi

Got it

2:23 pm

Nef

custody is supposed to be equally shared; however she hadn't had him for about 1 1/2 months and has been considering giving up custody. Her therapist told my son to wait 6 months before going before the courts & asking for full custody (because if he did it now she could come back and sue for it later)

2:23 pm

rururocks

a partially frozen herman :D

2:23 pm

hego

Could I get a hint for the second ar 6?

2:24 pm

rururocks

more of a artist

2:24 pm

hego

ty

2:24 pm

Nef

phantom: thief

2:25 pm

hego

these young people seem to lead very messy lives.

2:26 pm

rururocks

bi-polar is tough

2:26 pm

Nef

The problem is that her family (right now) wants nothing to do with her; & my son has a very soft heart for injured and broken things.

2:26 pm

BzznBea

Hi, folks...How about a clue or the first ar6, please?

2:26 pm

hego

That may be why he got involved in the first place.

2:27 pm

rururocks

can you spell codependent for me ? (mr. Rogers)

2:27 pm

Nef

it is, hego.

2:27 pm

Nef

LOL, ruru!

2:28 pm

rururocks

bzz not leg + beginning of pee

2:28 pm

Nef

Ar 6/24: not a leg, + start of pee

2:28 pm

BzznBea

Thanks!

2:28 pm

MollyL

Bea, be forewarned, Ru can't spell the medical word for pee

2:29 pm

MollyL

Apparently Nef can't either

2:29 pm

Judi

Tinkle? Wee-wee? Number 1?

2:29 pm

Nef

but he's close enough that I got it, Molly

2:30 pm

hego

giggle

2:30 pm

rururocks

that kind of pisses me off actually :D

2:30 pm

Nef

would you prefer that we clue that it's a chemical part of pee?

2:31 pm

rururocks

it's the component of pee

2:31 pm

rururocks

I was just trying to leak out the clue

2:32 pm

hego

groooan....

2:32 pm

2:32 pm

Judi

2:34 pm

hego

2:34 pm

Judi

hee hee. Yeah. Twinkle. Like fairy dust. That's just how I go... er roll.

2:34 pm

MollyL

Urea is not pee. It is a chemical compound found in pee.

2:34 pm

hego

We know Molly, we know...

2:35 pm

Judi

Like, ureally pissing me off?

2:35 pm

rururocks

2:35 pm

Judi

2:35 pm

MollyL

(((Buys the world a Coke)))

2:36 pm

Nef

oh, my. I taught my kids to use the correct terminology (for body parts & functions) as soon as they could talk. There were times it may have been embarrassing; but it was so much better than using the wrong terms

2:36 pm

rururocks

(sends Barry Manilow to molly's house)

2:36 pm

hego

While you folks study the urology books, I willsay bye for now and have a great weekend.

2:36 pm

4:51 pm

4:53 pm

Trifioso

excellent choice! Big kiss

4:53 pm

MollyL

Yessiree, that is a quiet bosom all right

jaxx7

better than i was, thanks

6:52 pm

stidmama

I saw that GR, sorry about that, but I was BEAT. Stayed up past midnight my time (thanks to coffee) but hit my limit and just collapsed. Hey all! I am supposedly grading papers while watching a show... *waves and relurks* I

6:53 pm

jaxx7

Ah, multitasking

6:53 pm

grannyrose

*cracks whip* get going stid

6:53 pm

stidmama

yikes! *grabs pinky finger and moans about lost percussion career...*

6:54 pm

jaxx7

You are a hard woman, Rose. lol

6:54 pm

grannyrose

*giggle*

6:55 pm

grannyrose

absolutely, jaxx. have to keep these young 'uns up to the mark, you know....lol

6:55 pm

stidmama

I will grade two sets of papers and brb... quick multiple choice quizzes... *poof-lite*

6:55 pm

jaxx7

I have tried but without any joy. can I borrow that whip? Only for beating the young you understand

6:56 pm

grannyrose

*ducks behind don* pfft....you can't get me....

6:56 pm

grannyrose

you're not into self-flagellation, jaxx?

6:57 pm

jaxx7

No, I am afraid not. Don't you use birch twigs for that?

6:58 pm

grannyrose

you can use anything you like, i am thinking. personally i go for a wet tissue...

6:58 pm

jaxx7

Not much flagellation from that, Rose. lol

6:58 pm

grannyrose

isn't that the point??

6:59 pm

jaxx7

A bit soggy.

6:59 pm

grannyrose

i might hurt myself with anything else....lol

7:00 pm

jaxx7

Guess there is that but it defeats the object where the young 'uns are concerned.

7:01 pm

grannyrose

true, but you might make them laugh so much that they will be more compliant.

7:02 pm

jaxx7

Thinking of my two grandchildren, they will never be compliant. Both of them have too much to say for themselves, particularly the 9 year old.

7:04 pm

grannyrose

maybe you could use a squirt bottle of water, and spray them every time they start arcing up.

7:05 pm

jaxx7

They would think Grandma had gone mad and would join in the game. The last thing they have is fear of this old crone

7:05 pm

grannyrose

lolol....true

7:30 pm

grannyrose

*nasty headache go away* poor you, stid. for once i am pain free. this new chair wedge cushion don bought me has given me some amazing comfort.

7:31 pm

stidmama

woo-hoo for pain free! *approving look at don*

7:32 pm

grannyrose

it definitely is all about posture isn't it?

7:33 pm

stidmama

sometimes! Today I woke up pain free, was having a great time at the bookstore, bent down to tie my shoe... hip slipped and now recovering (after Tom reset it) on the sofa. Again. *sigh* At least we got it fixed quickly.

7:33 pm

grannyrose

i can even sit in the pews at church. up until lately don had to carry in a chair from the narthex which is a good deal higher than the pews.

7:34 pm

stidmama

7:34 pm

grannyrose

ouch, stid. i bet you were in agony until you got home.
