12:49 am

rururocks

is he trying to get your goat?

12:51 am

jesdraggon

nope. he didn't really want the goat, but she's adorable and has cute floppy ears and I'm a sucker for broken critters, you know.

12:52 am

jesdraggon

Bruce is being really nice about it though, and trying to beat the ipod into submission for me.

12:53 am

rururocks

I think that's against the law in Oregon and Washington :D

I already did the shopping and emptied the dishwasher, decided on what to cook too.

4:02 am

grannyrose

4:03 am

sprite

how are you today?

4:03 am

grannyrose

good idea to get stuff done early on a day when heat is forecast.

4:04 am

sprite

yeah. Truly no joy to be running around in sudden heat.

4:04 am

grannyrose

4:36 am

rubyfoo

He's made an appointment with an oncologist for Tuesday. Please let anybody who is interested know as I don't want to dominate the chog.

4:37 am

sprite

will tell rose when she comes back. Let us know how the appointment with the oncologist goes, ok?

4:37 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby)) I am so sorry to hear that.I will hold you in my thoughts.

4:41 am

hydra

Oh Ruby, I'm so sorry. Hope you can beat it again. Sending healing thoughts.

4:41 am

hydra

Sorry all, I've been lurking but just had to pop in when I saw your post, Ruby.

4:42 am

sprite

always a pleasure to see you, hydra. But a sad occasion this time.

4:42 am

rubyfoo

thank you all for your kindness; I will stay away because I don't want peope to feel sad

4:43 am

Kallia

Ruby my thoughts are with you xxx

4:43 am

hydra

Yes, it is. I lost my lovely Flad (my icon) two weeks ago and I'm still crying. That cat was my soul mate for 18 years.

4:43 am

sprite

don't be silly, ruby, we are sad anyway. Keep coming here and use the support system of babble chog

4:43 am

Kallia

I don't think you should stay away though.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Don,t say that, Ruby, It is always best to say what you want to say.

4:44 am

hydra

I agree with sprite away, Ruby. There are heaps of Babble folk who are here for you.

4:44 am

Kallia

Have you got anyone to support you? I know your husband is not well....

4:44 am

hydra

Oops. It should have been 'don't stay away, Ruby'. Some words went missing.

4:44 am

zoozzoom

Some of us might not chat much here.But we are always willing to listen and try and be of some kind of comfort for you.Not much I know.

4:44 am

sprite

*hugs hydra* no wonder you are still crying. Give it time. Mourning a loss is healthy.

4:45 am

hydra

That's so true, zoom.

4:45 am

rubyfoo

My son offered to come back and stay and there are friends asnd neighbors here. What to do about my husband is another qwuestion

4:45 am

Kallia

True that Zoom

4:45 am

hydra

Thanks, sprite.

4:45 am

rubyfoo

Hydra, losing a beloved animal is the same as losing a ong-loved friend.

4:46 am

sprite

indeed, ruby. You can't possible take care of him and yourself through this battle.

4:46 am

hydra

It's nothing compared to what you're going through, Ruby.

4:46 am

Kallia

I agree with that Sprite

4:47 am

hydra

I shouldn't have mentioned it, The focus is on you right now, Ruby. There is a lot to think about and to organise but the most important thing is for you to stay strong and healthy and not get stressed. Let others take the stress.

4:48 am

zoozzoom

Agreed. I think DIL and others might be able to step up to the plate at times like this.

4:48 am

sprite

I truly believe that there is room for everyone in babble chog. Missing a very dear pet is hurting too. And sometimes it helps to know you are not the only one in pain.

4:49 am

sprite

they should, zooz. They have done little enough as it is.

4:49 am

rubyfoo

losing a pet is like losing one of the family. I don't care what people say

4:49 am

hydra

I have to go now. Wishing you all the very best, Ruby. Keep us updated, please. And never forget you have friends here.

4:49 am

sprite

oh I agree.

4:50 am

rubyfoo

THANK YOU ALL

4:50 am

sprite

4:51 am

Kallia

Nothing to thank us for Ruby, you would be the same for anyone of us xx

4:51 am

sprite

*hugs zooz*

4:51 am

sprite

bye hydra, all the best *hugs*

4:53 am

2.5 week till end of this course and the student are being dropped as fast as the teacher can pound out the blue "drop" forms. Too many of them just fooled around the first three weeks, now, for some, there is no way to catch up and get a passing grade;( They will have to miss grad and try again next year;(

6:39 am

crosshair

from a class of 33 at the start, we are now around 15 in total :(

6:42 am

crosshair

It is like watching a car crash in slow motion, of the fifteen I hope to assist the teacher in getting 7 of them a passing grade:( I do not know if it is always this bad in the schools, but it is an eye-opener of just how little the kids learned in their first run through high-school.

6:44 am

Trifioso

6:44 am

JBsAnno

I'm hoping the best for them, crossy, they've got you on their side!

JBsAnno

Good morning, Tri, crossy, bichon, Annie, matty, peri.

6:46 am

Trifioso

I am HOWLING laughing this morning....my son has NO patience with idiots. A man approached him at a the train station and asked which of the two trains on the platform went to Providence, Rhode Island, about an hour away, due south. Before Primo could answer, the man looked over Primo's shoulder and said "LOOK AT THE ASS ON HER! That's beautiful!" Primo put him on the train to Worcester, 60 miles due West of Boston.

6:46 am

JBsAnno

Peri, did you get either 7? I got the co - it's what we type in this box!

6:46 am

6:51 am

crosshair

Reminds me of the time I had a rude "citiot" tourist demanding proper directions since it seemed he could find nobody with a brain up here, and he had been lost for an hour now. I sent him on his way-- up HWY #11 North to Timmins, a full 8 hours NORTH of the border:)

6:52 am

crosshair

I always wonder how far he ended up going...

6:52 am

bichon

North of what border

6:52 am

Trifioso

oh well done crossy!

6:52 am

crosshair

U.S Canada of course

6:52 am

6:52 am

Trifioso

6:53 am

crosshair

Well the quebec border is 6 hours east i suppose

6:53 am

crosshair

But that is not north...

6:54 am

crosshair

Well, I guess i could have sent him to labrador... but he would have caught on:)

6:54 am

crosshair

Guess I should have specified international border:)) my bad

6:55 am

bichon

There isn't anything north of you except for Hudson Bay

6:55 am

crosshair

err... there is a tad more than that, bichon:))

6:55 am

crosshair

I am not THAT far north

6:55 am

crosshair

I would like to be, but alas, it is not in the card

6:56 am

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Hey, we are kids inside. I certainly don't act like an adult most of the time.

7:41 am

Scrabbler

I am goofy, silly, enjoy pranking others, and generally childlike whenever possible.

7:41 am

JBsAnno

You mean those stuffy grown up people who can't laugh at themselfs? Phooey on them, I say, phooey!

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Those people are not happy.

Trifioso

7:46 am

JBsAnno

Try expresso!

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Tag, you're it, Annie. Run away, everybody.

7:47 am

Trifioso

I drank that once, by accident, at 11 pm at an Italian restaurant. Did not go to sleep that night. At all.

7:47 am

Anniebrook

I see you behind the tree, JB...Tag, youre it

7:47 am

JBsAnno

So NOT running. Hiding behind Scrabbler!

7:48 am

JBsAnno

Ha, right where I wanted her - TAG, Scrabbler!

7:48 am

JBsAnno

So, Trif, did you get the house cleaned, laundry done, and the car washed while you were up all night?

7:48 am

Anniebrook

phone again, bbs

7:49 am

Trifioso

sadly no, as it was not at my house - was in Ireland at the time, at a friends house. Just sat there.

7:49 am

JBsAnno

Good times, Trif, good times.

No, she tagged me, then ran away to answer the phone (you know, a very grown up thing to do). I was hiding behind you, and gotcha, you're it! <smirk>

Greetings, Babblers!

9:07 am

Good morning

9:23 am

Judi

Got a hook into a new sofa - found on Craigslist - 85 bucks! I'm psyched to see it. Gonna go look at it tomorrow.

9:31 am

Judi

Where's everyone at today? All done with the grid?

9:32 am

penquis

lurking here...

9:32 am

crosshair

Flean is so too a word!

9:32 am

penquis

sounds like one to me!

9:33 am

sukee

Good morning

9:33 am

crosshair

Fleans used to be used to "bleed' people in the old days, and vets used them right up till the 40's on animals:)

9:33 am

sukee

It is a word with an m :)

9:33 am

crosshair

Howdy, sukee

9:33 am

crosshair

fleam?.. mm, my bad:)

9:34 am

crosshair

was close;)

9:34 am

sukee

I only tried it because you posted that word, not a word I am familiar with.

9:35 am

crosshair

I will go sit in a cobwebby corner of the PB:)

9:35 am

sukee

I meant to be here earlier but I didn't have time, was very rushed this morning.

9:36 am

crosshair

I was gonna say, not your usual time;)

9:36 am

sukee

My shower took longer, giving the cat his medicine took longer, etc.

9:37 am

crosshair

would make life easier with some of these cats if they let use use a dart gun for the meds:)

9:37 am

sukee

Just when I think he is resigned, once in a while he is not having it.

9:38 am

crosshair

I get my hands punctured with claws at pill time;(

9:38 am

Judi

Consolidate, sukee. Give the cat meds while you're in the shower. My cat likes to sit between the shower curtain and shower liner while I shower. Very weird.

9:38 am

crosshair

Though i have learned to "wrap" a cat and it is much better

9:38 am

sukee

Nope, not grabbing a cat when I have no clothes on :)

9:39 am

sukee

I can usually just grab his neck and shoot the medicine into his mouth.

9:39 am

Judi

I find it most effective to just sneak up on them, grab them by the neck scruff, shove the pill down the throat, then run away.

9:40 am

sukee

Luckily, this is liquid medication with a syringe.

9:40 am

saanichcat

crossy, have ypu ever tried "pill pockets" for medicines for the cat?

9:40 am

Judi

Ah. That's not too bad.

9:40 am

crosshair

I have, they eat the pocket and leave the pill:/

9:40 am

crosshair

I just wrap them up like a mummy with a bed sheet now. so much easier

9:40 am

saanichcat

clever cats

9:40 am

Judi

My cats sneer at the pill pockets. Won't even sniff them.

9:41 am

sukee

If it was pills, he would not still be alive I fear :)

I hated giving medicine to cats

9:50 am

rururocks

Didn't mean to kill the chat

9:50 am

You didn't, concentrating on the grid :)

9:52 am

MollyL

Hi there, sir. The check is in the mail.

9:54 am

Judi

And call me 'Sweet Charity".

10:04 am

MollyL

Everyone has the right to a second Babble identity, whether they can afford it or not.

10:04 am

harpjane

Oh, and once the pill is in, hold the cat's mouth shut, blow in their face, and rub the throat. Makes them swallow.

10:08 am

crosshair

Those who wish to have 1,5, or 15 babble identities are welcome to the game. Only helps Dr_g's bottom line:)

10:08 am

Sometimes you cannot see the tree for the forest;)

10:10 am

josephjames

yeah

10:12 am

MollyL

15 Babble identities? Wow. It's like Sybil all over again.

10:26 am

rururocks

at least that person would have someone to talk to..

10:34 am

crosshair

I do not think Sybil knew about the "others" initially. There was just all these memory gaps.

10:37 am

harpjane

The trouble with multiple identities, eventually you make a mistake and other people realize that you are not who you say you are....

10:37 am

MollyL

Exactly Harp

10:38 am

rururocks

*pinches self*

10:38 am

10:38 am

As far as i am concerned, if people want multiple accounts, all the power to them. Does not bother me in the slightest.

10:39 am

MollyL

Of course not

10:40 am

crosshair

we are all just voices in the wind anyways.

10:40 am

crosshair

I have been accused of it;)

10:41 am

Riverdance

Hello everyone.....I am confused.....why would someone want multiple babble accounts.....its not like they would get a different grid for each one. I must have missed something in the chat.

10:41 am

crosshair

Joso and I had a good laugh over that one;)

10:41 am

crosshair

Guess some get a thrill out of multiple account deception

10:42 am

MimiCat

It's comforting being schizophrenic because you're never alone and always entertained.

10:42 am

Riverdance

a whole new level of talking to yourself

10:43 am

There 'ya go.

10:46 am

You're right Mimi. You can chat with yourself and life is a ball

10:46 am

MollyL

And you get double, triple, quadruple the love from people.

10:47 am

I'm glad I have the internet, DirecTV and Roku box for streaming Netflix and Hulu Plus because otherwise I'd have to rely on my own head for entertainment....trust me...my head is a place I like to visit but I don't want to live there.

11:30 am

Peri that is kind of funny.

11:31 am

Oh no!

11:31 am

Did not see that. will look.

11:31 am

Peri, why are you taking your top off while pouring tonic? Something we should know?

11:31 am

hahaha

11:31 am

Focus Molly, I said while taking The top off, not my top

11:32 am

trust me, I look better with clothes ob

11:32 am

hego

Soodle, what time was that?

11:32 am

hego

Peri, me too.

11:32 am

MollyL

Soodle, I know many breast cancer survivors. My mother was one. I'm sure Ruby has the strength to beat this.

11:32 am

periwinkle

it was about 6:30 am I think hego. I had just gotten up

11:33 am

Soodle

4.35 Babble time, Hego

11:33 am

hego

Oh! Terrible. Poor ruby.

11:33 am

periwinkle

but ruby will need help taking care of her husband

11:33 am

hego

She has no support system.

11:34 am

periwinkle

was she in France the last time she had breast cancer?

11:34 am

Soodle

The pair of them are very vulnerable. I really hope her son steps up to the plate.

11:35 am

Soodle

No, Peri. I think she's only in France about 10/12 years

11:35 am

MollyL

Her son stepping up to the plate is a stretch. He doesn't seem like that kind of person. Nor does her husband's daughter.

11:35 am

periwinkle

I know nothing about health care in France. wish she could/would come back to the states

11:35 am

periwinkle

help with either 7 pls

11:36 am

hego

I will try to reach her on FB

11:36 am

bichon

I do worry about ruby too. She's been sick for so long

11:36 am

MollyL

Soodle, I know you sometimes talk with Ruby on the phone. Please give her my best and let her know she is in my prayers.

11:36 am

hego

The thought of retiring far away from home and family is scary to me.

11:37 am

periwinkle

me too, hego

11:37 am

Soodle

I sure will Molls. I'm holding off calling her for the time being.

11:37 am

hego

Never know what canhappen as you age.

11:37 am

MollyL

I agree Hego. There is no place so "lovely" that it beats having family near and medical care that you can understand.

11:37 am

Soodle

I gotta go. I'll be back later.

11:38 am

periwinkle

Soodle, please tell her I am sending positive thoughts her way, pls

11:38 am

hego

So true.

11:39 am

bichon

I just read her post. Oh no. She must come back to the states.

11:41 am

bichon

I'm going to email her.

11:41 am

periwinkle

I do not have her e-mail

11:41 am

periwinkle

does she have family here in the states?

11:43 am

bichon

I'm not too sure. But at least she' have Medicare.

11:44 am

periwinkle

does she have any medical ins. in France?

11:44 am

bichon

no

11:44 am

periwinkle

oh no!

11:45 am

MollyL

Medicare means nothing in France

11:45 am

hego

They have national medicine in France. We are the only western country that doesn't as far as I know.

11:45 am

bichon

I know, but if she returned she could have it here. I know why she can't come back, but I say the hell with it

11:46 am

periwinkle

why can't she come back, financial reasons?

11:46 am

hego

I messaged her and told her that we are all here anytime.

11:46 am

Hello Babblers

4:32 pm

Soodle

Hi everyone. With time differences etc, I'm not sure if you guys know a Babbler called Rubyfoo. Earlier today - Ruby posted that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. I've just spoken with her on the phone & she is stoic. More worried about her husband than about herself. Whether it's prayers, good vibes, healing thoughts, lighting candles..... whatever...... our Ruby could do with them right now.

4:33 pm

cybernan

hi wht, soodle

4:33 pm

wht

Oh sorry to hear about Ruby.

4:33 pm

cybernan

sending prayers her way - ty soodle

4:34 pm

wht

Makes my problem finding the ma6/21 seem pretty minor, now.

4:34 pm

cybernan

didn't her husband have cancer as well? - or was it a stroke?

4:35 pm

Soodle

Hey Nan, Wht, Molls, Blah (i don't think I've met you yet..., but nice to see you).

4:36 pm

Soodle

No, Nan. Ruby's husband was just generally failing, and becoming increasingly more dependant on her. She seems to be more worried about him than herself.

4:37 pm

cybernan

found the ma 6: covering -- could be a ma 6 of snow, could also be a cloak

4:37 pm

wht

Thanks nan.

4:38 pm

wht

And what about Ruby's dogs?

4:38 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!*

4:39 pm

wht

wtg nan

4:39 pm

Soodle

yeah! Another worry for her.

4:39 pm

cybernan

Did she say what the prognosis is, soodle -- or anything about treatment?

4:39 pm

Soodle

Whoo-hoo Nan! Well done.

4:40 pm

cybernan

I was very impressed with the health care system in France, but I'm not sure what kind of support systems they have

4:41 pm

wht

I was having trouble finding the ma5,14. I couldn't see the tree for the forest.

4:43 pm

Soodle

It's a recurrance of a cancer she had 25 years ago Nan. She is seeing the oncologist on Tuesday. And..... She certainly wouldn't like the chog to be dragged down by her woes. So! Could somebody steer me in the direction of that blasted L in the lower right hand corner? Please?

4:44 pm

wht

le4,5 and 5,12

4:44 pm

cybernan

le 5/12 babblet ends with brit thanks

4:45 pm

cybernan

then lose the last vowel for le 4/5

4:45 pm

wht

Nan, it sounds to me like it sould be the name of a transit system to me.

4:46 pm

wht

The se5,12 babblet that it rhymes with is also the name of the transit system in Philadelphia.

4:47 pm

cybernan

must go and get some work done -- back at the flip.

4:48 pm

Bye nan.

6:09 pm

therealblah

thanks for the translation pen...lol

6:10 pm

penquis

people aren't used to having that kind of clue... ;o)

6:11 pm

penquis

they were probably trying to think of a word meaning torment....

6:11 pm

Soodle

The nursery rhyme character ( the pipers son) who stole the pig and away did run, the first 3 letters of what you do when you go into a place (en*) and the first vowel...

6:11 pm

penquis

hence, crossy's comment...lol....

6:12 pm

therealblah

sorry, a newbie and still learning the ropes. there was a very similar clue earlier and that's how i got it

6:13 pm

crosshair

No such thing as a bad clue, some are just more interesting to unravel is all

6:13 pm

penquis

no problem....as crossy said, no such thing as a bad clue...

6:14 pm

MollyL

People usually steer clear of just about spelling out the entire word being clued.

6:15 pm

Soodle

Ah! How nice to see a newbie.you are very welcome, Blah! :-)

6:15 pm

penquis

interesting pic, molly... ;o)

7:08 pm

7:09 pm

i think it is not a good idea to mix wines. though it seemed the polite thing to so, to accept the hosptality,

9:36 pm

penquis

ko 4 x 2...

9:37 pm

rururocks

mix wines?

9:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

sample several varieties.

9:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

sans meal

9:40 pm

rururocks

oh.. I can't do that anymore either.. hard on the system

9:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

not top shelf wines, but that would be mostly lost on me.

9:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

i did think vinho verde would be a good one to jazz up for a summer afternoon's light refreshment.

9:46 pm

rururocks

vinho verde can be a good wine in the heat and humidity

9:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

this was a gallery crawl, first friday, so they were not breaking out high priced stuff. lovely munchies, though.

9:50 pm

rururocks

most people are surprised by how they can taste quality in wines and it wouldn't be lost on someone.. see it all the time

9:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was turned off by my brothers BIL - he is a wine snob and i am not a wine drinker.

9:52 pm

rururocks

I don't care for wine snob's either.. ruins the whole experience

9:52 pm

rururocks

snobs

9:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do know i do not like oaky or tannins. but i drank a chilean red that was not bad. had never heard of the variety.

9:52 pm

rururocks

wine is just food.. goes with dinner.. nothing snobby about it

9:52 pm

rururocks

carmeniere?

9:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, i brought a bottle of local to easter dinner - they go through bottles and bottles - and he and my bro turned up their noses.

9:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps that was it.

9:53 pm

rururocks

that's too bad. sometimes it is the simplest wines that taste the best with dinner.

9:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

now the cab was to oaky tannin

9:54 pm

rururocks

yes.. cabernet is loaded with tannins usually

9:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

as as most reds for me

9:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

well see, i DO know something.

9:55 pm

rururocks

I like to drink simpler wines nowadays.. my food choices have changed

9:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean, i understand if my bro did not like it, not everyone like the same thing. but his BIL gave me a glass of epensive to show me the difference.

9:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

that was tacky

9:56 pm

rururocks

that's just snobby.. and to be honest . .pretty condescending

9:57 pm

rururocks

I like to let people drink what they like and have some variety

9:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, he can be at times, though a great cook and generous host.

9:58 pm

rururocks

It is all about personal taste and not price.. if it is something you like..that's good enough for me

9:58 pm

rururocks

we had the nicest wine in BC and it was one of the least expensive wines on the list.. Jilli, Flosey, Bugs, and Saanich all enjoyed it.. and it was really cheap

9:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

i notice it more when he has had a lot of wine.

9:59 pm

rururocks

hmmm.. brings out his bad personality then :D

10:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was very nice for the galleries to accommoate a large group like ours plus the usual folks just strilling about.

10:00 pm

rururocks

I would say .. try this.. and leave it up to you to like it or not. I would never say you should like this better.. it's more prestigious and more expensive.. that's just moronic

10:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

though i did not see anything that I lusted after.

10:00 pm

rururocks

I like art walks.. very fun thing to do.. they do them in Sacramento and it's a lot of fun.

10:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

the ones in philly are great. we went to one last year but it stalled when we found a bar with $5 martinis. ANd sweord swallowers. that is VERY weird.

10:02 pm

rururocks

$5 martinis sound good

10:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

to see that close up is just bizarre.

10:03 pm

rururocks

I couldn't watch that

10:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is negroni month in town.

10:03 pm

rururocks

I love negronis

10:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

well it is like a car wreck - hard to look away, but i would not seek it out.

10:03 pm

rururocks

I love the bitter

10:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do as well, sweet drinks are not for me.

10:05 pm

rururocks

I can't think of one sweet drink I like

10:06 pm

rururocks

maybe an occasional manhattan

10:06 pm

rururocks

one every 3 or so years

10:07 pm
