1:38 am

grannyrose

i was going to ask flosey, how come you are still up?

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

interesting... I'll have to watch for it

1:40 am

flosey

fun, my regular partner is back, she had a holiday off to Europe, unfortunately came back with a nasty flu

1:40 am

grannyrose

it's the true story of alan turing, who made the machine which cracked the german enigma machine.

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

I have been watching prison break on netflix streaming... what an intense show... some of the characters are so evil, I don't want to watch, but the plot is so good, I want to see what happens

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

oooh, not fun to get sick after a vacation

1:41 am

flosey

no, it was nasty, but she did have a lovely holiday

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

1:51 am

flosey

not even half way yet but must get to bed, goodnight Rose - enjoy the rest of your day

1:56 am

grannyrose

i hope you can sleep tonight, dear. xoxox

2:06 am

sprite

good morning all

2:07 am

grannyrose

whoot!!! {{hugs}} sprite

2:07 am

sprite

hello my darling :) So the heat kept you guys at home huh... my luck :)

2:08 am

grannyrose

yeah.....don also said i had already done enough for one day.

2:09 am

sprite

so true. I know some days are worth it to be in agony later, but most are not

2:10 am

grannyrose

tummy still full from lunch. it was a lot later than when we usually eat.

2:10 am

sprite

a nice late supper then :)

2:10 am

grannyrose

how was your night?

2:11 am

sprite

pretty good! Am thinking fitness later this morning

2:13 am

grannyrose

good grief!! sprite, please take it gently, sweetie.

2:14 am

sprite

oh I will. Am aiming for minimal program, just something to get my body moving again. Use the joints, gently use the muscles, no stress or achievements.

2:15 am

grannyrose

good thinking, hin.

2:16 am

sprite

yeah. Biggest challenge will be to get the fitness gym people to think my way. I will have to be firm.

2:17 am

grannyrose

ikr? my gym tried years ago to make me do stuff i just couldn't cope with, but i didn't know about the FM then.

2:18 am

grannyrose

hey, that's an idea....print out the info on FM for the gym.that way th4 will understand where you are coming from.

2:18 am

sprite

same thing for me. I actually had this one guy that changed the settings of my fitness bike while I was on it. And I wasn't as assertative back then.

2:18 am

sprite

that is an idea!

2:21 am

sprite

assertive I mean. I think.

2:22 am

sprite

can't believe I already found 2 x 8.

2:23 am

grannyrose

sprite have you heard about the samsung smart tv's? how what you say is being passed onto a third party?

2:23 am

sprite

what? No darling, I don't watch news. Big brother tvs?

2:24 am

grannyrose

yes, just like in george orwell's 1984

2:25 am

sprite

hm I see. "If a consumer consents and uses the voice recognition feature, voice data is provided to a third party during a requested voice command search. At that time, the voice data is sent to a server, which searches for the requested content then returns the desired content to the TV."
So not nonstop, just when you use the voice command option. But still.

2:25 am

grannyrose

it's really scary....

2:26 am

sprite

so happy we just have a dumb tv :D

2:26 am

grannyrose

exactly, dear. don has turned off the voice recognition on his mobile phone.

2:27 am

grannyrose

we do have a smart tv, but no voice recognition.

2:28 am

sprite

smart move. The scary part is, for me anyway, that A. people don't know this when buying and using it and B. even though right now the data may not be abused, the stuff is there and CAN be abused.

2:29 am

sprite

it is a bit like the... what is the world in english... when the government wants to collect exact data of who lives in your house, what age, etc etc. They did that before the world wars here, and then the nazis came, and all those data were abused immediately.

2:30 am

grannyrose

a census?

2:31 am

sprite

I think so. They used to go door-to-door for that. We call it 'counting folks'

2:32 am

sprite

yes, census

2:33 am

grannyrose

with the 100 page form to fill out, including your grandfather's hat size....

2:34 am

sprite

exactly, and his father's, and the length of his greatuncle's cat's tail.

2:34 am

grannyrose

col....a real belly laugh...

2:34 am

sprite

*grin* My goal achieved for today

2:35 am

grannyrose

ble\ss you, love. thanx

2:35 am

grannyrose

??? where did that backward slash come from?

2:36 am

sprite

made a depressed friend of mine laugh yesterday night as well. Am on a roll, grin.

2:36 am

sprite

twitchy pinky, maybe? Mine is right above the en5 key.

2:37 am

grannyrose

that's where mine is....no where ne4 the e or s

2:37 am

sprite

french for window is not valid. Jeez.

2:37 am

grannyrose

weird....

2:38 am

sprite

a twitchy right pinkie. Or gremlins. It might be gremlins.

2:39 am

grannyrose

yeah, like the /n which appears in tiny urls some babblers post

2:39 am

Lizlin

Hi all and hugs to you two :)

2:39 am

sprite

hi Liz! *hugs* How are you and your husband today?

2:39 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl. all good with you?

2:40 am

sprite

the /n appears when a word or link is too long. It cuts up the word so that the chog doesn't go totally haywire.

2:40 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, so that is why.

2:40 am

sprite

yeah. But your post wasn't like that. It was just a random backslash, lol.

2:43 am

grannyrose

i know, that's why it was weird.

2:44 am

Lizlin

We're fine thanks. Internets being twitchy again :(

2:44 am

sprite

I blame your pink. Or gremlins. It still might have been gremlins.

2:44 am

sprite

stupid internet, Liz :( But great to hear you are fine.

2:44 am

grannyrose

it was for me two nights ago. it kept locking me out. very frustrating.

2:45 am

Lizlin

Are you both OK?

2:45 am

sprite

must be a mondial thing. Same here 2 nights ago, and we had a total blackout as well.

2:45 am

sprite

*looks for conspiracy* Aliens? Sun flares? Gremlins?

2:46 am

Lizlin

Lol!

2:46 am

sprite

I am fine, thank you :) Even considering going to the gym today and start my program.

2:46 am

grannyrose

yes thanx liz. although hips have decided to play up again...darn it.

2:46 am

Lizlin

Not good

2:47 am

grannyrose

did hubby like the joke i se4?

2:47 am

Lizlin

Yes we both did!

2:47 am

sprite

Babble proverb: "It is better to have a twitchty pinkie than hurting hips."

2:48 am

sprite

jokes se4? And I was excluded? Well I never...

2:48 am

grannyrose

sprite i se4 liz a joke, but it is very topical to oz land.

2:48 am

Lizlin

Very true!

2:48 am

sprite

ah, lol, that is why. :)

2:48 am

Lizlin

Very oz joke

2:49 am

sprite

am reading a booklet about narcissism and it describes some cartoons... one of a man standing next to a grave and saying: "Does this mean you won't have the papers ready on Friday?"

2:50 am

grannyrose

i'll send it to you with explanation.

2:50 am

sprite

and another one, where a woman enters the room where her husband is in the process of hanging himself, and she says: "Oh no, not my macrame!"

2:50 am

Lizlin

Giving up for now! My words just aren't entering. Getting loads of red boxes! Hope to catch you tomorrow.

2:50 am

sprite

reminded me of your mother and my father, rose :D

2:51 am

sprite

poor Liz. I hope the internet will behave better soon. *hugs* to you both.

2:51 am

Lizlin

Hugs to you both too

2:53 am

grannyrose

see you liz girl.

2:54 am

grannyrose

sprite, se4.....i hope you can see the irony.

2:54 am

sprite

Lollllll oh that is priceless.

2:55 am

sprite

scroll down, if you like, rose, for two cartoons about narcissists.

2:55 am

sprite

thanks for sharing the joke, btw :D

2:55 am

grannyrose

am so glad you could see the joke. we both giggled like crazy when we read it.

2:56 am

sprite

I love it. It will translate nicely to dutch politicians.

2:56 am

grannyrose

well send it on.....tall poppies need to be cut down...

2:57 am

sprite

so they do, so they do. Politicians are all liars. The sad thing is, the alternative is a dictatorship... not a good idea ;)

2:59 am

sprite

btw rose, interesting point in that booklet. People who grow up under the rule of a destructive narcissist often have underdeveloped (healthy) narcissism themselves. And when we develop that to a healthy level, it makes us less vulnerable to destructive ones.

3:00 am

grannyrose

very interesting, sprite

3:01 am

grannyrose

sprite, it less than 4 weeks before the pain doc. i do so hope he can help me.

3:02 am

sprite

yeah, it is very poorly written, alas, but she raises good points. She says that a bit of narcissism is necessary to be a balanced person. You need to value yourself and appreciate yourself to function. As long as you see and value and appreciate others as well. And on the other hand, you have to have flexible boundaries, so that you don't get confused about what is YOU and what is OTHER. As in everything, there is a balance point, or area.

3:03 am

sprite

I hope so too, rose. Bring the protocol from the poor late doctor and tell them to get the heck on with it :D

3:04 am

grannyrose

exactly...so true, sprite. which is what you and i have trained ourselves to do. although th5 are still times when we fall short of the goal.

3:05 am

grannyrose

sprite, i se4 that in with my referral.

3:05 am

sprite

falling short of the goal every now and then is healthy too, sweetie. We aren't supposed to be perfect. We only are supposed to be ourselves.

3:05 am

sprite

awesome. They will know what to do then, and you can tell them what you need as well. It will work out. I have faith in them

3:05 am

grannyrose

i he4 you sprite

3:07 am

sprite

also, what we already knew but it was good to see it in writing, there is no way to change them, they can only change themselves if they really want to, which is rare. And there is no way to make them see the effects of what they do to others, because psychologically they don't recognise others. Everyone is just an extension of themselves to them.

3:08 am

sprite

am sorry you are in so much pain again, rose. Hips are nasty. Much too central and involved in every posture you can take.

3:10 am

grannyrose

a little late for our parents, sprite. they will never know(at least mine wont) or acknowledge that it is their behaviour which has damaged us.

3:11 am

sprite

that was my point, or hers. They will never know. Even if they were alive, they wouldn't. Because they can't. It is not that they choose to ignore it, it is that they actually don't register it at all. "YOU" does not really exist for them. Everything is ME. Like a small child that views the world only in terms of itself.

3:13 am

sprite

she writes that that is the hardest thing to grasp for the rest of us. Because if you are empathic, it is incredibly hard to imagine someone who has no empathy.

3:14 am

grannyrose

and narcissists cannot acknowledge that th4 are in the wrong...

3:15 am

grannyrose

lol, oh yes, sprite....don cannot walk a mile in my shoes at all.

3:16 am

sprite

because they don't see it that way. If they would be be in the wrong, it would mean somebody else was in the right. And they don't see others as people separate from them. So even if you are right, it is still them who are right. By extension.

3:16 am

grannyrose

yes!!!

3:16 am

sprite

but Don does have empathy. Not to extreme extent, maybe, but more than enough to be a loving husband.

3:18 am

sprite

yeah it is a good booklet. Sharpens my perception of my father and our relationship, and how I turned out as a result. And of what I still have to learn and develop.

3:18 am

grannyrose

too true, sprite. our vicar thinks he is the ant's pants. he is so helpful, stepping up to the mark so many times. and she values that.

3:19 am

sprite

hehehe I think he is too. It is wonderful to have someone like that. We are so blessed.

3:20 am

grannyrose

btw, i found this grid remarkably easy. only a few words which made me go...what the hey?

3:20 am

sprite

yeah it is very fast and easy for me too. Haven't found the what the hey words yet, though. Which figures.

3:22 am

grannyrose

let me know if you need a hand, but i am tipping you won't.

3:22 am

sprite

hehehe not yet :) Thanks for the offer though.

3:23 am

sprite

new babble dictionary word: St5men - they just cannot stay loyal, the cheaters

3:23 am

sprite

or is it faithful?

3:24 am

grannyrose

i am surprised with how i am playing th5 days. i am certainly finding a lot more words than even last ye4.

3:24 am

sprite

*giggles* Same here. We must be sharing a brainwave and lifting eachother to a higher lvl

3:25 am

grannyrose

ooohhhh, i like it...put 'er in

3:25 am

sprite

ok, done :D

3:30 am

sprite

oh! Found two words that are very close to the french window, and related in meaning.

3:32 am

grannyrose

whoot!! yay sprite!!

3:33 am

sprite

*smug* AND I greyed out the U :D

3:34 am

grannyrose

you have every right to be smug, my friend.

3:34 am

sprite

*grins* No I don't. I am grateful for all I am given though.

3:40 am

mattygroves

Are clues down?

3:42 am

grannyrose

what do you need help with, matty? and hello

3:42 am

sprite

no, they work just fine here, matty

3:42 am

grannyrose

ahhh, matty try refreshing lickety's page

3:43 am

sprite

oh, I started postcrossing again! Se4 off 9 cards and will be receiving some as well.

3:43 am

sprite

if you are on a windows machine, go to the page, click on it somewhere and then do force refresh (Control + F5)

3:52 am

grannyrose

dinner ready. hopefully you will be he4 inabout 20 minutes. xoxox

3:55 am

sprite

Hi Crossy

6:11 am

MimiCat

Hello, everyone!

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Hello Miss Arizona

6:11 am

crosshair

How is Scrabby this fine winters day? Tis a balmy minus 18c here atm, but it looks like we may get some sun later on.

6:11 am

crosshair

(((mimi)))

6:12 am

MimiCat

Hey, Scrabber! Long time, no chat! Yep...beautiful here now---in the 80's.

6:12 am

MimiCat

((crossy))!!!!

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I am happy after 4 days of XC-skiing. Now I work for 3 days. I am lucky to have this work schedule. Friday evening we will snowshoe at 6pm with headlamps--a neighborhood hike in the woods, then dinner.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

But Friday's high temp will be 4 F and colder by the evening. We will have fun.

6:14 am

crosshair

I got tired just reading that, scrabby!

6:14 am

crosshair

I try to get out twice/week for a bit of snowshoe fun, but my school schedule gets in the way

6:15 am

Scrabbler

I am so happy to be in the woods.

6:15 am

MimiCat

Sounds wonderful. Is your part of the country experiencing this horrible flu that lasts for 3 weeks? I just got over it and I can tell you it really is a terrible thing. I could not eat a morsel for two weeks and could barely get up to go to the bathroom. Almost went to the hospital twice but was afraid in my weakened state being in the hospital would kill me!! Luckily, I was already on antibiotics for an oral surgery I had planned (had to postpone) so I didn't get a secondary infection.

6:15 am

crosshair

poor mimi:( we have not had so much as a cold this winter (knock on wood)

6:16 am

Scrabbler

We have seen lots of Influenza A in kids. I had a different respiratory illness for 6 wks starting the week before Thanksgiving--laryngitis, then coughing.

6:16 am

MimiCat

I think even the viruses get frozen where you live, crossy!

6:16 am

Scrabbler

You probably had flu if you were that wiped out.

6:16 am

crosshair

Scrabby gets the same temps we do:)

6:17 am

Anniebrook

I had the flu this winter and it was horrid for about 3 weeks

6:17 am

crosshair

A mild winter actually

6:17 am

Scrabbler

But yours are even lower, Crossy.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Hi Annie and Bobby

6:17 am

crosshair

Used to be lower, scrabby, but it is a rare thing to dip below minus 30c now. Not like years ago.

6:17 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs, Bobby is getting ready to go to the workshop

6:18 am

MimiCat

This was a whole systemic thing...every part of my body hurt. I kept hydrated because I know how important that is. I spoke with a doctor who said it is a particularly virulent strain and was routinely lasting 3 weeks--long time for the flu. He said I was doing everything that could be done. Luckily, my daughter checked on me every day and two of my neighbors helped as well.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I need to finish my coffee and get ready for work. I go to the Indian Reservation Tuesday mornings.

6:18 am

crosshair

Did you get this years flu shot, mimi??

6:18 am

MimiCat

It was good to see you, Scrabbler---HAGD.

6:19 am

crosshair

tc scrabby

6:19 am

Anniebrook

bye scrabbs

No, I didn't get one this year, crossy, but they said the flu shot wasn't working for this flu. Apparently, they guessed wrong on the strain this year, so it wouldn't have helped.

6:20 am

crosshair

Well, I still thyink they hti 70% accuracy, so I got mine early

6:20 am

crosshair

wow, check my mad typing skillz!

I read they only hit 30% accuracy. I had the shot and I still got the flue

Still getting my stamina back....unbelievable. I did nothing but sleep for the first week. The second week was the worst---wished I could sleep then.

Hi, Annie!

Hi Mimi

I have a friend in Ohio and she had it for 3 weeks as well but her symptoms weren't as bad as mine. I had to take extra heart medication as well.

Hi Mimi, Annie

At least I lost 6 pounds!!!

6:24 am

dofith

How I wish I could trade places with any one of you northern hemisphere folk for just one day!. We are in the high 30's every day (90 - 106 F) ; it just goes on and on. And out come the bugs. And the garden is crisping up.And my fish tanks are nearly cooking my fish! I hate summer!

6:25 am

dofith

And I want to see snow.

6:25 am

crosshair

I cannot find a site with confirmed data listing the percentage for the effectiveness of the 2014 flu shot. However the 2013 shot was at the sixty-second percentile.

6:26 am

dofith

Just once . Make a snowman. Bucket list.

6:26 am

MimiCat

I'm right there with you do! Summer in Phoenix is routinely 116 degrees. I often say we only have two seasons here...heaven and hell.

6:26 am

Anniebrook

hi dofith, I would rather have the cold weather than heat. I cannot tolerate extreme heat.

6:26 am

crosshair

Too hot for this Canadian polar bear Dofith!

6:27 am

dofith

Mimi, I won't trade places with you, then - at least we have the beach here!!

6:27 am

Anniebrook

crossy, I read that 30% effectiveness somewhere. Perhaps, it was for only one strain.

6:28 am

sukee

They said another strain popped up after this year's vaccine had been put together based on last year. I got the shot and I'm staying healthy.

6:29 am

MimiCat

I think our mild weather this time of year promotes these types of illness.....nothing to kill them off or make them dormant.

6:29 am

crosshair

They also say this years strain type :drifted" and somewhat muatated

6:29 am

crosshair

mutated

6:29 am

sukee

Well, we have had very cold days. It's more a stomach thing that has been going around this city.

6:29 am

crosshair

Wow I need a ghost typist:(

6:34 am

MimiCat

It was so stressful to not be able to work. The doc I transcribe had been on vacation for two weeks and then I got sick for 3 (couldn't have gotten sick while she was on vacation....on, no), so I had no paycheck for 5 weeks.

6:35 am

MimiCat

I was afraid they'd think they could get along without me, but was assured that was not true and when I started working again my boss sent me the nicest email about how much she appreciates me.

6:36 am

sukee

That is good to hear from a boss.

6:37 am

MimiCat

I work at home on a 1099 so I'm not really an "employee" but she owns the company (there are only 5 of us who work for her) so it's nice to be appreciated.

6:37 am

crosshair

Do you still have to deal with the "alien chipmunk"?

6:37 am

MimiCat

LOL...nope. Haven't had to have anything to do with her for over a year.........thank goodness.

6:40 am

crosshair

So, you register as self-employed then, and do your own withholing for taxation purposes?

6:41 am

MimiCat

Yes. It's wonderful to work at home and make my own hours. If I wake up early I can get my work done and have the rest of the day to do whatever I want. Sure beats all those years of going to an office and watching the clock! Of course, I get no benefits and no pay when sick or on vacation but it's still worth it.

6:41 am

sukee

It's like the company I write for, they are always saying they think I am a good writer, even when I get behind.

6:42 am

crosshair

Because, If you do, and work from home, and you dedicate office space for your work that meets the criteria as to square footage, you can use it as a tax deduction and write off all kinds of things

6:43 am

MimiCat

I didn't file last year because I didn't make enough money even with my retirement check but will do so this year. I'm not sure I'll do the write off thing, though, because that always brings you under closer scrutiny and I don't want to be flagged. I'll be speaking to an accountant.

I know! I was sick for 3 weeks and missed everyone so much. The first 2 weeks of that flu I couldn't type due to my hands shaking so badly.

6:46 am

Thorny to the core, crossy! But the flowering, when it happens, is beautiful!

6:48 am

Anniebrook

MY Christmas cactus is blooming I have over 30 beautiful red blooms

6:48 am

Wolvie

niceeee annie ;-)

6:49 am

MimiCat

They are beautiful, Annie. I used to collect cacti and succulents because they're the only things that grow in this climate. Years ago when I moved away from here for a little while I donated all of them to the Botanical Garden here.

6:49 am

Anniebrook

I had throat surgery 30 ye4s ago and my friend brought this little plant. 30 ye4s later, the plant is thriving and blooming

6:50 am

MimiCat

Our big saguaro cacti that you see associated with this area live for over a hundred years.

6:51 am

Anniebrook

I prune it every year and it grows like crazy. It usually blooms about every 3-4 years at Christmas. It was late this year but it is so beautiful.

6:51 am

Wolvie

wow- 30 years- very cool- and well do i remember those big cacti mimi- i lived in scottsdale for 4 years back in the late 80s. i bet the gardens were glad to get your plants

6:53 am

Anniebrook

They are an interesting type of plant.

6:53 am

Wolvie

how big is it now annie?? i have had mine for about 10 years- it is orangish when budding- then had pink tinge as it ages- then whitish then falls off lol

6:53 am

MimiCat

When I got married and moved here from Marina Del Rey, California, I brought all my beautiful plants and they quickly died. So, decided to see the beauty of native plants.

6:54 am

Wolvie

makes sense mimi- i remember being stunned by some of the blooms on those cactis- so many different types- was very nice

6:54 am

MimiCat

I laugh when I hear that saying about "making lemonade out of lemons" because my life has been almost nothing but "making lemonade" and I'm really sick of it!!! Switched to vodka.

6:54 am

Anniebrook

wolvie, it gets very big but I prune it back. I get red buds then the flowers. It looks like it belongs on a desert floor not in a Brooklyn livingroom. I just enjoy having this cactus. In the spring I think I'm going to buy other types.

6:55 am

Wolvie

nice- lots of pretty ones out there- so neat too.

6:55 am

Anniebrook

LOL . Mimi

6:55 am

Wolvie

lol mimi- good thinking

6:56 am

MimiCat

There are so many that are very interesting, Annie. Have you seen the "hen and chicks" succulent? They're pretty and keep spreading and like colder climates. You could even plant them outside.

6:56 am

Wolvie

off to make some breakfast- bb in a bit :-)

6:56 am

crosshair

Must head to class. Take care all, and happy babbling!...poink!

6:56 am

Anniebrook

Mimi, I am going to get hens and chicks then. Should I plant them in a wide low pot?

6:56 am

sukee

Have fun.

6:57 am

Wolvie

my Mom adored hens and chicks :-) they even had them in WVa where she grew up :-)

6:57 am

Wolvie

ttfn all again lol bbl

6:57 am

MimiCat

Annie, do you ever force narcissus bulbs around Christmas? They are beautiful and very fragrant. The bulbs are available in the autumn.

6:57 am

Anniebrook

Mimi, Yes I did that once.

6:58 am

MimiCat

I think you can pretty much plant the hen and chicks in anything anywhere..they are very hearty and just keep spreading. My friend in Ohio has hers outside around the base of a tree and they're thriving, even enduring the snow.

6:59 am

Anniebrook

I am going to go to Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and get the hens and chicks there. Maybe I can keep them out on my terrace.

6:59 am

MimiCat

Most people don't realize that if you get a poinsettia plant, you can plant it in the ground and it will grow and grow. Just don't get it around your pets as it is poisonous.

6:59 am

sukee

Time for me to go make breakfast too. Take care

7:00 am

Anniebrook

Breakfast is calling me too. Mimi, thanks for the talk about cacti. Im glad you are better and stay better. Be back later.

Just got word that our Arizona hostage has been killed by ISIS. Do these people really think this accomplishes anything? Honestly...I had to make blanket statements but those people are simply NUTS. I've seen it first-hand as I once BRIEFLY dated a Syrian doctor and when the subject of Israel came up, his entire demeanor changed in an instant---it was scary. They brainwash them very young. It's ironic that one reason more damage hasn't been done to them by us is the fact that Israel is so close!

9:31 am

I.S.I.S is a plague threatening the entire planet and we must all join in eradicating it.

Sad indeed, Mimi. Negotiating is pointless. ISIS does not want to negotiate. They only want world domination.

9:33 am

I wonder if this is recent or if she has been dead for some time. It's hard to know.

9:33 am

MimiCat

Yes, indeed. It is unfortunate that there are innocents in those locations as well because I would simple say for us to get out of there and let them kill each other. But they don't stop with killing each other--they must bring others into their madness.

9:34 am

Hego, her parents were holding out hope but just found out she is dead.

They cannot be left to their own devices. That is just avoiding the problem--not solving it.

finally got sh 6

10:02 am

Judi

Gotta eat lunch early. Training all afternoon. *just shoot me now* *POOF*

10:07 am

rururocks

Judi gets "trained" a lot.. wonder what that means/

10:12 am

periwinkle

the sh6 is also spelled with a c!!

10:12 am

periwinkle

10:23 am

Enomis65

ne

10:23 am

Enomis65

oops, sorry, hi guys!

10:24 am

MollyL

What i want to know is, how are people supposed to be able to get their work done when they are constantly taking time away from work for "training"?

10:25 am

periwinkle

another question would be, how do people get any work done between training and playing babble?

10:26 am

rururocks

lol

10:28 am

MollyL

: D True, Peri. My guess is that if Judi took as much personal time as they make her spend "in training" she would be considered a slacker.

10:29 am

periwinkle

I thought most computers at work are monitored

10:29 am

periwinkle

lots of people here babble at work. my thinking is if you have time to babble then you do not need a full time job. (I am done venting)

10:30 am

rururocks

probably if it was a babble-porn web-site

10:31 am

MollyL

It depends on where you work. Some work computers are monitored, some are not.

10:37 am

periwinkle

II figured as much, Molly

10:37 am

periwinkle

I even

10:37 am

MollyL

Some companies monitor, but have an "acceptable" amount of time that a person can spend in "free time" on the computer.

10:38 am

periwinkle

Oh?

10:38 am

periwinkle

did not know that

10:38 am

periwinkle

wonder what is considered "acceptable"

10:39 am

Enomis65

te

10:39 am

MollyL

To me, the logical course of action is, if an employee is getting their job done in a timely fashion, it doesn't matter what they do on their breaks or in their "down time". And every job has down time.

10:40 am

rururocks

here in California .. we have get-down time

10:40 am

periwinkle

depends on the job, Molly. I always worked in hospitals and I rarely saw the nurses have any down time

10:40 am

rururocks

Enomis65's next comment is "we"

10:41 am

periwinkle

most hospital social workers do not get breaks either. so it does depend on where you work and what type of supervisor you have then

10:41 am

MollyL

My daughter in law is an ER nurse and she said she has seem people at work playing Babble.

10:41 am

periwinkle

and getting your job down in a timely manner

10:41 am

periwinkle

really?

10:42 am

periwinkle

bbl

10:42 am

MollyL

As far as I know, it's against the law to require people to work more than six hours without a break.

10:52 am

MollyL

Oops, I was wrong. No Federal Labor laws requiring breaks. Lunch breaks either. I still consider it bad labor practice to make people work a non-stop 8 hour shift.

10:52 am

rururocks

next time I go to an ER.. I'll be sure to give out clues

10:52 am

MollyL

And ask for the CLUES iv drip bag.

10:53 am

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! Do you have a problem with the government knowing everything about you? well think on this for a second: In the 1960's the C.I.A needed a new method for spying on people and introduced the "Acoustic Kitty" program. A battery and a microphone were implanted into a cat and an antenna into its tail. This would allow the cats to innocuously record and transmit sound from their surroundings. Surgical and training expenses are thought to have amounted to over $25 million. meow!

12:09 pm

Aloyisius

incredible.. no joke? the cat's meow on that!

12:10 pm

OMG!!!

12:10 pm

12:34 pm

brandyjack

Samsung was hedging and saying that somethings could be recorded accidentally. What they didn't say was that neither your smart phone nor the TV has enough processing power to decode voice commands. So it bundles up the voice and ships it off to a cloud processor somewhere that DOES have enough horsepower.

There has been a lot of press about "Non-vaxxers" of late, and how some say it is up to the parent whether or not to immunize their child. For my evening tidbit of the day I have an article for you by one of our better local columnists by the name of Christine Blizzard, that lays it all out pretty clearly for those who who need clarification on this hot topic.Personally, I think the vaccines should become mandatory by law. Yes, your body is your own, but that freedom ends when it puts other people's young child at risk. http://tinyurl.com/lg6nwtn

I went to my car this morning (went to Macys) and the car was completely covered in ice.

5:01 pm

MollyL

Oh Annie, be careful.

5:01 pm

Anniebrook

There I was hacking away at the windows, scraping, scraping, scraping

5:01 pm

Anniebrook

But I went to Macys.

5:02 pm

MollyL

Yes, and you can reach to scrape some ice and lose your balance. I'm glad you got to Macy's okay.

5:02 pm

Anniebrook

Thanks for your caring, Molly

5:03 pm

MollyL

I have great respect for anyone who can drive in your area, Annie.

5:03 pm

Anniebrook

LOL, I know. I feel for car., Trif, ives, pen. They were hit very hard.

It's not the driving, it's clearing the car that's so difficult if you don't have a garage

5:05 pm

Anniebrook

5:05 pm

5:06 pm

MollyL

No, I meant driving in Manhattan.

5:07 pm

MollyL

5:07 pm

bichon

You didn't drive to Manhattan Annie? Isn't there a Macy's in Brooklyn?

5:08 pm

MollyL

Okay, my bad. Driving in New York in general.

5:08 pm

Anniebrook

Macys is also in Brooklyn. But I do drive into Manhattan. Not as much as I used to.

5:09 pm

Manhattan is cleaned quickly. Remember, tourists, money.
