1:57 am

dcseain

hi, Kate, and yes it would

2:00 am

TraderKate

nice to see you, though I am ready to go back to bed in a minute... you're up late!

2:02 am

dcseain

yeah. very late dinner.

2:03 am

dcseain

shortly, i'll take some more antihistamine and go to sleep.

2:05 am

TraderKate

first cool nioght we've had in a while, but my sleep cycle has gotten out of kilter with all the hot nights we've had that kept me up so very late... now my brain is just starting to think about going to sleep...damn!

2:06 am

TraderKate

<---really needs AC

2:11 am

TraderKate

hahaha... what Clinton claimed he didn't do is in the grid ;)

2:13 am

gapeach

I did. Bet he did too, eh, TraderKate.

2:15 am

TraderKate

Just as surely as he did have sex with that woman....

2:15 am

TraderKate

hi peach :)

2:16 am

gapeach

Yep. I always felt sorry for her.....didn't she know she would be dumped when it was all over?

2:19 am

TraderKate

she was young and stupid with stars in her eyes.. blinded by power and overome with his brilliance...

but she wasn't that dumb... she kept the dress...with the proof.

2:19 am

gapeach

Sorry to hear about your sleeping......I've had insomina for several years now. It is horrible to try to get a doctors appointment after 4:00PM. I don't know what to do to get myself turned around.

2:21 am

gapeach

Wonder what she is doing now?

2:21 am

TraderKate

it's tough.. mental-pause hasn't helped either.... I've been a good sleeper up 'til about 7 years ago, now sleep cycle very easily disturbed. Frustrating!

2:21 am

gapeach

Yes!

2:21 am

TraderKate

I think she was quietly taken care of.. some cushy job out of sight.

2:27 am

gapeach

That would be good for her.....hope she meets some nice person to love and be loved by.

2:27 am

TraderKate

hmmm.. wiki says she took a masters in psych in London and now is a spokesperson against cyberbullying... never married

2:28 am

cosdem

Monica also came out with her own line of handbags which wasn't successful.

2:28 am

TraderKate

tries to stay out of the limelight, but noteriety follows her...

2:28 am

cosdem

Monica deserves the same amount of blame. She was an adult and she knew he was married. :P hi all

2:28 am

TraderKate

ya, wiki says she did that before going to london...poor thing.

2:29 am

gapeach

Um.....it may be better for her to live in another country.

2:29 am

TraderKate

hi cos :)

2:29 am

gapeach

Hey there, cos.

2:29 am

cosdem

Home from work. May the weekend commence!

2:29 am

mrpresident

yes, she is an adulterous and that doesn't fair well with most

2:29 am

mrpresident

hi all :)

2:29 am

TraderKate

wooo hooo!

2:30 am

gapeach

Hi there, mrp.

2:30 am

cosdem

But lets be honest if it wasnt for Monica the clinton years wouldnt have been as fun to watch

2:30 am

TraderKate

lost respect for all 3 of them over that mess...

2:30 am

gapeach

Hey to dcs, if you are still here. Haven't seen you in a while.

2:31 am

mrpresident

Hilary is but a clutch bag with the name of scorned wife all over it

2:31 am

TraderKate

there were still jogging trips to get a whopper... and of course the "i never inhaled" scandal...

2:31 am

cosdem

but neither doesnt sell like sex does

2:32 am

mrpresident

and if Monica was trying to sell handbags, she went the wrong way! It is like having a kim kard bag... why??

2:32 am

TraderKate

well, at least we now know for sure why she didn't leave him... looking out 10 years and the big picture...

2:32 am

mrpresident

Billyboy promised to get her power if she stayed... for sure

2:33 am

gapeach

Many years ago, I was offered a job in DC, working for a

2:33 am

mrpresident

The most insane bit of scandal I must say is still Tiger Woods

2:33 am

TraderKate

I donn't htink the US electorate would have accepted a divorcee for president.... especially a woman

2:34 am

TraderKate

now hte christian right has to at least begrdginly say that she stayed true to her marriage vows...

2:34 am

gapeach

Senator. I gave it a brief thought and told him "No". I had elderly foster parents to take care of and my oldes daughter was about 4 year old and I just didn't want that lifestyle either.

2:34 am

TraderKate

gawd i'm tired... *begrudgingly*

2:35 am

TraderKate

It would have been a very interesting job peach, too bad the timing wasn't right...what an opportunity!

2:36 am

cosdem

I interned for a Senator during the anthrax scare

2:36 am

cosdem

Anthrax aside.. it was a fun experience.

2:36 am

gapeach

How do you like DC, cos?

2:37 am

cosdem

I love DC. I love Foggy Bottom, Dupont, Smithsonian Square etc

2:37 am

TraderKate

sounds good cos! you must have a few stories to tell...

2:37 am

cosdem

I was living in DC during 9/11 .. quite an experience for sure

2:38 am

TraderKate

scary....

2:38 am

gapeach

Dear God, cos. Glad you are safe now.

2:38 am

cosdem

I remember opening a letter part of my duties.. it was full of profanity and misspelling.. we hung it up on the wall

2:39 am

cosdem

Another letter had a picture of someone's BM in it. there are crazy people out there.

2:40 am

cosdem

I was dating someone who was an assistant speech writer for the Bush White House whille I was an intern for one of the most liberal Senators.. it was pretty fun

2:41 am

cosdem

Oh look this grid has the name of one of the candidates for president

2:43 am

TraderKate

you mean there is someone else besides The Donald?\

2:43 am

TraderKate

that relationship sounds like troublesome fun....

2:43 am

cosdem

Lincoln Chafee.. a candidate for the dem nod.. totally overshadowed by HRC and Bernie

2:47 am

TraderKate

I must toddle off... it's almost 4 AM :(

2:48 am

gapeach

Sweet dreams, TK.

Electile Dysfunction : The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for PRIME MINISTER put forth by any party in the 2015 election year

6:28 am

cybernan

Hi Everyone -- came across this "new phrase" yesterday, and just had to share with the other Canucks on board this am......

6:28 am

doseffing

... select the local candidate ... that's the one you'll have to deal with

6:29 am

JBV

hi cybernan - brilliant - and not only Prime Minister - applies equally well here - the Republic crew vying for the presidential nomination

6:31 am

crosshair

lol, Cybernan. They need a spot on the ballots for "none of the above"

6:32 am

doseffing

... you know ... there is a process to do that ... it's just that the returning officers hate to have to explain it and perform it

6:33 am

crosshair

Was so disillusioned one year, that I voted for the Green Party, and was astounded when, for the first time ever, they actually got enough votes to gain one seat:)

6:33 am

doseffing

... and it is kinda silly ... if you're voting none of the above then the theory is you run yourself

6:33 am

jwr

Back in the 80's, someone ran for City Supervisor as "Nun of the Above"

6:34 am

jwr

Got quite a few thousand votes too.

6:35 am

crosshair

Funny things happen. In the 2001 Census, 2.6% of the population of Brighton claimed to be Jedi:)

6:36 am

jwr

Funny indeed. I just happened to run across that the other day. They started a religion called Knights of the Jedi, almost made it to legitimacy too.

6:37 am

jwr

I think it was one of Mark Steel's programs

6:39 am

crosshair

Locally for town council one year, we had it boil down to a one vote difference between two potential council members. Was chaos.

6:40 am

jwr

That hurts.

6:40 am

crosshair

I think there were endless recounts involved

6:40 am

jwr

It's hard to ever resolve something like that. What did they do.

6:41 am

crosshair

several "spoiled" votes were identified and it was recounted once again. But in the end the difference was still less that 100 votes as i recall.

6:42 am

crosshair

In the end a newcomer ousted a long-timer seeking re-election.

6:42 am

jwr

Ballots can have a 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice these days. I think the ranking takes care of that happening.

6:43 am

crosshair

this was in the late 80's- early 90's

6:43 am

jwr

What population are we talking about Crossy - thousands, hundred thou?

6:43 am

doseffing

... doesn't solve the problem ... only changes it

6:44 am

jwr

what dose? the ranking?

6:44 am

crosshair

at the time i think we were 18,000 strong.

6:45 am

crosshair

Now, i believe the head-count is closer to 30k

6:45 am

periwinkle

good morning all. help with the N pls

6:45 am

jwr

Ah, that's a small tight population for that kind of problem. Leaves hurt feelings behind.

6:46 am

jwr

Hi peri. What kind of help'

6:46 am

doseffing

... yeah ... we haven't really tried it in Canada but we're talking about it ... ... our political situation is different than yours ... you have two parties ... ... we have three major ones and two more regionally successful ones and people are thinking that some form of ranking in the balloting will somehow be more democratic

6:46 am

periwinkle

any kind

6:46 am

doseffing

... top corner ... ni 5 ... think of the tennis player

6:47 am

periwinkle

ty dose

6:47 am

crosshair

ty, dose

6:47 am

periwinkle

help with lone O and lone E too pls

6:48 am

jwr

didn't know it had a tennis connection, just happened to monkey it

6:48 am

doseffing

... o4 ... o + a girls name ... or ... o + faeries

6:48 am

jwr

e is slippery

6:48 am

periwinkle

ty dose

6:49 am

jwr

or did you mean the top one

6:49 am

doseffing

... lone e is eg4 ...

6:49 am

jwr

that's the black insult for white folks

6:49 am

periwinkle

ty dose

6:51 am

jwr

sorry, that's the O, not the E -- I'm backing out, embarrassed. Not a good clue-er anyway.

7:06 am

rubyfoo

I thin of4 is a pejorative for white people -- back in the 60's

7:08 am

rubyfoo

slow snap, jwr lol

7:11 am

doseffing

... oh well ... there' 80% and they're getting to be too hard to find ... .. back later for the list ... luck and sunny skies for everyone ... and if you need rain ... give us a call ... got more than our share coming today ...

Good morning everyone!
So far I'm seeing more phantoms than words - like 'group'! and even 'zealous'!

7:46 am

mrpresident

hi jb :)
zealous is almost there!

7:46 am

LuvWordGames

this is a tough grid

7:50 am

LuvWordGames

lol true

7:52 am

JBsAnno

It's a good word, mrp, a lighthearted word, yet strong and to the point!

7:52 am

Trifioso

hello dear friends

7:55 am

JBsAnno

Trif!! Beware, there be phantoms in this grid today :)

7:55 am

Trifioso

thank you for the warning! I will wear my foil hat!

7:57 am

JBsAnno

Hmm, make sure you fold it so you look 'regal', not like a 'doofus' (clarification- those are phantoms) hee hee

7:58 am

mrpresident

hi trif :))

7:58 am

Trifioso

I have concert tickets for ACDC tomorrow night, which is a bucket lister for me.....and it's going to be raining buckets! in a way, I think that could make it really fun.

7:58 am

Trifioso

good day mr p!

7:58 am

JBsAnno

So, do you plan to wear a bucket on your head?

7:58 am

mrpresident

OMG! ACDC!!

7:58 am

Anniebrook

HI Trif..Bobby wore an ACDC T shirt to the workshop today

7:59 am

mrpresident

Is the best concert! You will love it!

7:59 am

JBsAnno

All kidding aside, I hope you have a great (and not rainy) time!

7:59 am

Trifioso

nah. I think the key to being outside in the rain is accepting that you are going to get soaked. all the energy people spend trying to stay dry is useless. I will have a change of dry clothes in the car.

7:59 am

Anniebrook

I bought it for him about 10 years ago..he treasures it

7:59 am

mrpresident

I have been to many concerts, but the raw rock n roll experience is amazing from them

7:59 am

Trifioso

Im really excited.

8:00 am

mrpresident

hi annie :)

8:00 am

Anniebrook

hi mrp :)

8:02 am

HI Trif, Have a great time!

8:02 am

crosshair

Yes, if it rains, just embrace it as a part of the whole experience:)

8:03 am

Trifioso

its been a good summer of concerts for me, I must admit - neil young, peter franmpton and cheap trick on a double bill, and now acdc. the best part was, the three concerts were at three different venues, so I really feel like I have "done" the boston concert scene this summer

8:03 am

Trifioso

add in lots of live music at local bars, and it's been a good time!

8:04 am

Trifioso

wahoo! car.eeyore is coming over, and she's BRINGING COFFEE!!!!

8:04 am

Anniebrook

Good sister.

8:05 am

Trifioso

I won the lottery twice in that department!!!

8:05 am

Trifioso

and my sisters in law are AMAZING

8:05 am

Trifioso

dear Elizabeth's brain: the word "group" is not in the grid today. please stop trying it!!!

8:07 am

JBsAnno

ooh, just remembered my tea is cooling in the microwave, brb!

8:10 am

JBsAnno

The slinky fish just reached right out and slapped me. I think I need even more tea...

8:11 am

Trifioso

jbs I enjoy your icon so much...the drawing is so clever, and the way it can be two cats or one is brilliant

8:11 am

Trifioso

is icon the right word? avatar? profile pic?

8:12 am

JBsAnno

Thanks, Trif! Icon is the right word. All credit to Jellen, when she gifted it to me. lo these many moons ago, I decided I would always keep it.

8:13 am

Trifioso

it would be a super cool tattoo. if I liked tattoos.

8:13 am

JBsAnno

But, tell me how you see two cats?

8:13 am

Trifioso

one big black one, one little white one sitting in front

8:14 am

JBsAnno

I agree, if I also liked tattoos.

8:14 am

JBsAnno

Aww, I see it now. Double aww!

8:14 am

chrisk

Now I see two cats!

8:15 am

Trifioso

uh oh car was on her way here to let our dogs have a play date. it just started thundering and the heavens have opened

8:15 am

JBsAnno

Oh no! No COFFEE for Trif?

8:15 am

Trifioso

my thought process went like this: is that thunder? oh no! MY COFFEE

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids. Sorry I am tardy. I overslept.

JBsAnno

Hi, Scrabbler! Beware of many phantoms in the grid today!

8:16 am

Howdy, Scrabby:))

8:16 am

JBsAnno

Forgeddabout the dog's play date, they can go take a nap. The lack of coffee is the tragedy!

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Yay for Trif, spared certain disownment, now just dodging the teenage laser eyes.

8:18 am

Scrabbler

I have always liked your icon, JB, but I see just one cat. Should I see two?

8:18 am

JBsAnno

Hi, crossy! Was looking for you to comment on my microwave tea, if it was a travesty or not. :)

8:18 am

crosshair

I wonder if we can also have a cat run for prime Minister?? http://tinyurl.com/omul9fo

8:18 am

Trifioso

darling car has arrived....coffee!!!!! car says hello

8:18 am

mrpresident

good night all :)

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, my kayaking buddy is in the Netherlands with her husband for 10 days so I can either kayak alone today or get errands and chores done. I am doing the latter.

8:19 am

JBsAnno

Thanks, Scrabby! Trif pointed out that you can see a smaller white cat in between the lines.

8:19 am

JBsAnno

Good night, MrP, sweet dreams!! Good to see you today!! {{mrp}}

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Sleep well, mrp, I just got out of bed.

8:19 am

crosshair

Howdy, JBsAnno. My memory is like a sieve of late, and I often find myself using the microwave to put a fire under a cup of forgotten tea:)

8:19 am

mrpresident

you too JB :) ((hugs))

8:19 am

JBsAnno

No kayaking in the house today, Scrabbler!

8:20 am

crosshair

Yaa for scrabby, You must be fit as all heck by now!!

8:20 am

Have a good sleep, MRP

8:20 am

JBsAnno

Phew, my membership in the tea party is not rescinded

8:21 am

crosshair

I keep forgetting ti half-way through:(

8:21 am

crosshair

it

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Silly kitty, Crossy.

8:21 am

JBsAnno

Um, not THAT tea party!

Quickly changing subject - Yay, COFFEE for Trif! Way to go, car!

8:21 am

crosshair

I need one of those USB coffee cup warmers...

8:23 am

Scrabbler

I will shop in town soon then do a long bike ride later. I am fairly fit but fat, as usual. I am thinking of going very low carb for wt loss.

8:24 am

JBsAnno

They're out there, crossy, so many of them! There's even one with 4 more USB ports. Now I want to 'plug' all kinds of stuff into my computer!

8:26 am

JBsAnno

Scrabbler, I will be with you in spirit for housework. That will be my main exercise today, as the outside pool will be drowned in rain throughout the day. Housework, and my gazelle. Tony Little, anyone?

8:27 am

crosshair

be careful though, JBsAnno. Your internal power supply in the computer has a limited output, and if you place too much of a load on it, you may encounter temperature or operating issues.

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Today's housework will be laundry--bed linens. I vacuumed downstairs a few days ago so that is done.

8:27 am

crosshair

I would run one optional external gadget at a time.

8:28 am

Scrabbler

It will be too nice today to spend time inside.

8:29 am

JBsAnno

Oh, I know, crossy, I know. I have a fairly new computer, and the backside ports are for the peripherals, and the two frontside ports are for my phone and portable drive. I laugh at the frivolous USB gadgets, but don't use them :)

8:29 am

crosshair

right now, forexample, I have a usb keyboard mouse combo running and a dedicated wi-fi stick because this old machine does not have internal wi-fi. So, I believe i can sagely add one or two more "toys" to it all without any negative side effects

8:30 am

crosshair

safely*

8:30 am

Scrabbler

You are creative and resourceful, Crossy.

8:30 am

rubyfoo

sagely, too

8:30 am

crosshair

New computers, of course have better power supplies that this old sewing machine:)

8:30 am

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Hi Ruby and Gran

8:31 am

JBsAnno

crossy, have you ever looked at thinkgeek.com? It's good for a fun browse!

8:31 am

crosshair

Not really, scrabby. With computers, I am more of an Idiot-savant.

8:31 am

rubyfoo

I was lurking -- bad nel, but I'm pooped and cross

8:31 am

JBsAnno

Do you have to pump the pedal to play Babble on that machine, crossy? hee hee

8:31 am

crosshair

lol!

8:32 am

crosshair

No, it is the new-fangled one with the hand crank on the side:)

8:32 am

JBsAnno

LOL, hand crank. No pump?

8:32 am

crosshair

:)

8:32 am

JBsAnno

Like the old sinks, I mean?

8:33 am

crosshair

This one still had the factory 20 gig hard drive;))

8:33 am

rubyfoo

and DIL, who is coming tomorrow, revealed her true colors by inadvertently sending me an e-mail, meant for someone else, in which she said "Nancy thinks I'm coming there to solve her problems. NOT!"

8:33 am

JBsAnno

I had a Singer sewing machine with the pump pedal. Made my prom dresses on it.

8:33 am

JBsAnno

Hi, ruby and gran!

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Ruby.

8:33 am

crosshair

I am sorry you had to read that from your DIL, Ruby:(

8:34 am

JBsAnno

Uh, oh. DIL now has a new problem...

8:34 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody I haven't singled out, xx from cross nel

8:34 am

rubyfoo

She'll be here for a week and I won't say a word. I guess it's better to know than not

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Is it a surprise or do you already know her true colors?

8:35 am

rubyfoo

I thought I was a better judge of character but I guess that I wanted to be fooled

8:36 am

rubyfoo

She made a terrible scene at our wedding, in 12997, but I totally forgave her and have been inviting her twice a year to see her dad, on my dime

8:36 am

rubyfoo

1997*

8:37 am

JBsAnno

Aah, ruby, I sympathise, as one who has been in that situation of being on the receiving end.

8:37 am

rubyfoo

I try not to hold grudges, but one large forgiveness was enough

8:38 am

JBsAnno

ruby, just remember - it's her, NOT you. Repeat after me: not my circus, not my monkeys.

8:38 am

rubyfoo

TY, Ruby

8:45 am

bichon

How are you doing ruby?

8:45 am

crosshair

You know you have a problem when you are playing three word games at once:)

8:46 am

MLFAN17

cross what knd of word games are you playing cross?

8:46 am

rubyfoo

I'm feeling much better except where husband shoved me the other night and left me somewhat bruised. Like all abusive husbands, he says it was my fault.

8:46 am

bichon

sheesh

8:47 am

rubyfoo

Nothing to do about it YET, but will very soon. Paperwork is in order

8:47 am

MLFAN17

ruby divorce and restraining order?

8:47 am

rubyfoo

too late for divorce but not too late for a nursing home

8:47 am

JBsAnno

I confess, crossy. I have a problem - words with friends, ruzzle, Babble, wordament, and a couple of others...

8:48 am

MLFAN17

jbs do you play word with friends online?

8:48 am

JBsAnno

Oh, {{ruby}} hugs and prayers.

8:48 am

crosshair

I am playing babble, Bookworm,and Alphabetty

8:48 am

MLFAN17

too late for a divorce.. why?

8:48 am

rubyfoo

The reason I invited his daughter this time, was to help me with the nursing home question

8:48 am

bichon

I play Quote Puzzler

8:49 am

rubyfoo

He's almost 90 and can't communicate in French.

8:49 am

MLFAN17

cross I used to love to play bookworm

8:49 am

crosshair

I also play WWF once in a while as well as Lexulous

8:49 am

rubyfoo

I play scrabble and lexulous, but only one at a time

8:50 am

crosshair

I have a full transferable copy of that if you wish it,MLF. You can mail me for a copy if you like...

8:50 am

rubyfoo

and I come down to the studio and eat junk food

8:50 am

MLFAN17

you have to play both of those with the one you are playing with when they are online rightruby?

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Babble, Scrabble, Lexulous, and Quote Puzzler.

8:50 am

MLFAN17

i saw online somewhere wwf can be played online now though not sure if it is a download or not?

8:51 am

rubyfoo

no, the lexulous game is often just one move a day unless you happen to catch your friend online

8:51 am

JBsAnno

Yes, MLF. I'm PhillyAnno on WWF, and jbsanno on Ruzzle.

8:51 am

crosshair

My bookworm has the benefit of being playable offline if needed

8:51 am

JBsAnno

AARRGG - you mean there's MORE word games?? Oh boy, I'm in trouble now!!

8:51 am

rubyfoo

lex on FB is the slow one. Regular lex is when you're both online and is timed

8:51 am

MLFAN17

jbs wwf do you download it and play or just play now?

8:51 am

MLFAN17

jbs lol

8:52 am

JBsAnno

Bookworm! Had it on a previous computer, and lost it. You'll be hearing from me, crossy!

8:52 am

MLFAN17

i haven't played lexulous in awhile

8:52 am

Scrabbler

I don't like WWF--the board and interface is too busy and distracting.

8:52 am

rubyfoo

if anybody wants me, I'm nelliekelley in Lexulous

8:53 am

JBsAnno

MLF, I have WWF on my phone and on my iPad, as well as my other word games. Babble is the only one I regularly play on my desktop.

8:53 am

MLFAN17

i love wwf but i need a version of it online only

8:53 am

MLFAN17

i have even made some moves for my mom on here ipad lol

8:53 am

uh oh, have to organize dinner

8:53 am

rubyfoo

bye, friends

8:53 am

8:54 am

Most of the word games are apps on both Android and iOS. You can check Facebook, too, if they have it in their list of games.

good morning :-)

9:43 am

hi nan!

9:46 am

crosshair

I am sorry for the loss of your kitty suze, and please give Frank my best as he endures the trials and tribulations of chemo:(

9:46 am

uusue2

will do, crossy, thanks! It's been a tough week (did I mention my son wrecked our #2 car on Monday?)

9:47 am

crosshair

I am glad your son is ok:)

9:47 am

uusue2

me too!

9:48 am

crosshair

All that money you feed those bloodsucking insurance companies will take care of the car:(

9:50 am

uusue2

well, except they're totaling it out; the repair cost is only slightly less than the value of the car. So now I have to decide whether to take the money and leave the car, or if I want to fix it up anyway. It would be nice to have the second car but the money would also be nice.

9:51 am

rururocks

maybe your son can get a job and buy his own car now uu?

9:52 am

uusue2

well, he's still in college, and I want him to focus on his course work - I've told him I'm not paying for any more retakes.

9:52 am

cybernan

al 6, please?

9:52 am

ah... was the accident his fault? or unavoidable?

9:53 am

rururocks

9:54 am

ty ruru

9:54 am

uusue2

his fault, ruru, although he was doing me a favor at the time (took the dogs to the vet, where he had to wait for over an hour as the dogs got more and more frantic; also we'd just put the cat down on Friday, and Frank's cancer is back, so we're all pretty stressed out)

9:54 am

cybernan

*!* ta da *!*

9:54 am

cybernan

gotta run - hagd everyone

9:55 am

uusue2

the accident was as he was leaving the vet - no damage to the other car (an SUV) but my car is small and old

9:55 am

uusue2

yay nan, and bye!

9:55 am

rururocks

wow.. I hope life gets better for you sue. I can't believe all the stuff you have to deal with

9:55 am

cybernan

sorry for your troubles sue - hope it all works out

9:55 am

Judi

Sorry to hear about all of this, suze. When it rains it pours.

9:55 am

yeah, it's pretty sucky right now.

10:00 am

harpjane

sorry about your car, sue

10:01 am

car.eeyore

Yay! We have rain!

10:01 am

uusue2

me too - I'm really tempted to just take the money and tell my son he has to walk to campus (which he's prepared to do - he feels awful about the whole thing)

10:02 am

harpjane

I have a friend who took the insurance money, and then bought the car back from the insurance company for $375.

10:02 am

Judi

If the car is that old and that damaged by the accident, it probably would be best to take the money. Can your son bike to campus?

10:03 am

rururocks

that sounds like the best thing to do Sue.. make him responsible for reckless driving and have him get his own car somehow

10:03 am

rururocks

biking is a good idea too

10:05 am

uusue2

he could bike if the weather isn't too horrible - there are also buses that run every 1/2 hour (so require a bit of planning)

10:05 am

uusue2

and in fact even when he had a car he couldn't park on campus anyway (since we live in town he can't get even a student parking pass) so was mostly walking anyway

10:05 am

Judi

Sounds like he was more distracted (two dogs in the car) and stressed out by family matters.

10:05 am

rururocks

well.. you need your other car to care for Frank. your son should be able to figure it out on his own.

10:06 am

rururocks

I'm really sorry that you have all this to deal with.

10:06 am

uusue2

yes, Judi, the dogs had started to make a fuss and he turned around to deal with them; the car in front of him must have stopped right then (they were sitting in a left turn lane)

10:06 am

rururocks

why weren't the dogs in crates?

10:07 am

rururocks

maybe too small a car?

10:07 am

uusue2

we don't have crates for them, ruru, they are seldom in the car and are generally well-behaved - one of them has a mild skin infection and was chewing on herself - that's what had him distracted

10:08 am

uusue2

and yes, I don't think a crate big enough for the larger dog (60 lbs) would fit in the car (2003 Prius)

10:08 am

Judi

A dog that large should be driving the car!

10:08 am

rururocks

Hey, squirrels are a nuisance. The world would be a better place.

That seems to be her attitude as well.

take the money, and a) keep it, b) buy another old car that's not been totaled. Since the car is not worth much, was the damage severe?

10:15 am

mixi6

fa6,30?

10:15 am

uusue2

actually, no, the damage isn't all that bad, all surface stuff. Hood, front bumper, right front side panel, headlight. That adds up to $4500, and the car is worth about $5300. So it's tempting; I know this car, and it's actually in pretty good shape.

mixi6

Is it drivable? is there some way to fix part (make legal for driving) and take some money? (insurance may frown on this)

10:19 am

uusue2

Insurance is fine with me taking the money and fixing the car. They'd give me about $3800 (subtracting my deductible and the $500 they figure they can get for salvage). So it would be about $700 out of pocket for me, and it could be less if we get used parts and don't care much about matching paint colors.

10:20 am

uusue2

I need to talk to the body shop and see how realistic the $4500 estimate is. If they haven't yet looked for other damage it may not be worth it, but if they have, getting a car worth $5300 for $700 is tempting.

Hi, everyone! ((Car)) Got my job back!

11:00 am

rururocks

that's good news mimi.. good for you

11:01 am

MimiCat

Until my inheritance comes through, my money is tight trying to live on retirement income. My boss had to swallow her pride and ask me to come back. I was gracious. Start on Tues and glad for the extra income. Whew!

11:06 am

rururocks

and you can do it from home correct?

11:06 am

MimiCat

Yes, which is a good thing since I had another attack and my legs aren't working well.

11:07 am

rururocks

wow.. when does this get diagnosed for you mimi?

11:07 am

MimiCat

I can't leave my apt. because I can't navigate the stairs.

11:08 am

MimiCat

The insurance thing is a mess, ruru...need a neurology workup. They think it's because my back surgery failed. I was just getting better, able to move around without the walker and do things around the house and BAM it hit me again....no lead up so you can prepare, just hits full force overnight.

11:09 am

MimiCat

When I went to the hospital the last time they worked me up, down and sideways. I now know everything that ISN'T wrong with me.

11:09 am

rururocks

not good. That's common though.. back surgeries aren't always successful on the first try

11:11 am

MimiCat

I had two surgeries in 2000 and now they have failed. They think the leg problem is tied to that and I don't know what it's going to take to fix it and if there is metal moving around in back...thus the back pain and leg problem. I'm SO tired of this.

11:11 am

MimiCat

I now just want two things in life: the inheritance money and peace. Not even wishing for happiness, just peace.

11:12 am

rururocks

well.. I'd rather have back issues than MS..

11:12 am

rururocks

I would take happiness over anything

11:12 am

MimiCat

Yes, that was a relief.

11:13 am

rururocks

I hope you get back to improving mimi

11:13 am

MimiCat

The reason I didn't have a neurology workup at that time is that this hospital says it does not have a neurology dept!!! Can you imagine?!!

11:13 am

rururocks

wow

11:13 am

rururocks

in a metropolitan area there isn't one?

11:14 am

MimiCat

Such incompetence in this world...really irks me. This is a hospital in a very affluent area, too. Beautiful private rooms with mountain views and the food is really good plus you can order any time.

11:15 am

MimiCat

I'll wait til the insurance is finally correct and valid and then go to a neurologist's office.

11:16 am

MimiCat

Sorry to monopolize the chat...AGAIN. Going to get breakfast. Good day to all. ((ruru))

4:55 pm

Soodle

ChampFit? If you are still onboard.... Wowsers! That was a lovely Sweet 16 party (and gift) your Jennifer got. I'm guessing the night went well...?

Soodle

4:57 pm

Brushing up on my French for our impending meet-up!!

5:00 pm

ChampFit

Sorry...went away for a bit. Thank you Soodle! Surprise pulled off...still can't believe I kept it from her.

5:02 pm

Soodle

What a spectacularly lucky girl she is, Champ! Lucky, beautiful, and blessed! I wish her a charmed life.

5:02 pm

ChampFit

Thank you! Last one...2 more years and finally an empty nest.

5:03 pm

rubyfoo

5:03 pm

ChampFit

I love your petname for her - Smidge. My youngest answers to the name of Mooch, even though she was Christened Suzanne!

5:06 pm

rubyfoo

not that Im falling asleep or anything

5:07 pm

Soodle

(((((Rubes))))

5:08 pm

ChampFit

I had to do the nickname because originally we called her Midget. I was told by a FB friend that it was not PC to call her that, so had to switch.

5:08 pm

Soodle

How are you this evening, Ruby?

5:08 pm

rubyfoo

The next month should be telling. We'll see what I'm REALLY MADE OF (besude sygar abd souce etc,)

5:08 pm

ChampFit

I like Mooch!

5:08 pm

MollyL

Ruby, get some rest. You need it. I have a candle lit for you hoping that better days are ahead.

5:09 pm

Soodle

Stepping in as interpreter for our darling Ruby..... Besides Sugar and Spice.... Lol

5:10 pm

ChampFit

Oddly...I could tell exactly what she meant!

5:11 pm

MollyL

I think there is more spice than sugar. And a little hot sauce too. : D

5:12 pm

rubyfoo

For the moment, it can't get much worse. Oh oh, the stalker is en route. I'm filing a police reporttomorrow

5:12 pm

Soodle

Rubes- every single Babbler knows exactly what you mean & we are all rooting for you. At the risk of sugar n spice overload ..... more(((((hugs)))) to you.

5:13 pm

Soodle

Does that man ever sleep, Ruby? (Serious question)!

5:15 pm

rubyfoo

And one of the policemen is perfect f or Soodle. He used to be a gendarme and wears his uniform very well. He's tall, kind, handsome and distingue.

5:16 pm

Soodle

Champ - that's a funny story about you having to politically correct your petname for your kid. Sheesh!

5:16 pm

rubyfoo

I MSSED that, what was it?

5:17 pm

MollyL

I think this is Facebook talk Ruby.

5:17 pm

Soodle

Jaysus!!!! In her darkest hour, she is STILL trying to hook me up with a man. Ruby, are you in cohoots with my mother?????

5:18 pm

rubyfoo

MAYBEHER ALTER EGO? bUT HE IS TOO GLOLDTO WQSTE AND TALL, BESIDES....

5:18 pm

ChampFit

Go with the hookup! Might be fun!

5:18 pm

rubyfoo

good to waste

5:18 pm

uusue2

hi all! Ruby, I've been reading about your troubles but haven't been online at the same time as you for a while - good to see you!!

5:19 pm

ChampFit

BBL...but don't get talked out of a date, Soodle. I'd need a full report, of course...

5:20 pm

Soodle

Nope. It's in the chatlog. 5.08

5:20 pm

rubyfoo

yes, sue ,happy to see you, too. What a year this has been!

5:20 pm

uusue2

indeed, ruby!

5:20 pm

Soodle

Yessir, Champ!!

5:21 pm

rubyfoo

When I called the other day, they were here in 5 minutes,takingall smallinidents in our iny village very seriously

5:21 pm

Soodle

Hi Uusue. Likewise, I haven't 'seen' you for a while. Nice to see you now. :-)

5:22 pm

rubyfoo

<-- loves living in a small village.

5:24 pm

Soodle

<--- also loves living in a small village. Well..... When I don't know what I'm doing, there are at least 20 people who can tell me! :-/

5:24 pm

uusue2

good to see you too, soodle!

5:25 pm

rubyfoo

uh oh, I chased him out once and he's on the way bacjk.. I am surely irresistible,.

5:25 pm

Soodle

Sue, I read about your vehicular problems. Troublesome!

5:26 pm

Soodle

Ruby, what time does Burt go to sleep?

5:26 pm

rubyfoo

and it makes it easy to be on the straight and narrow\

5:27 pm

rubyfoo

He takes naps whenever he feels like it, nothing impinges on his sleeping

5:27 pm

Soodle

Whatever about being straight, I could never be described as narrow. :-(

5:28 pm

uusue2

yes, soodle, it's been quite a week.

5:28 pm

uusue2

however I am off for a bit - so good to see you all!!

5:30 pm

Soodle

Has the paperwork been sorted yet, Sue? I despair of insurance companies, who promise you the sun moon & stars whilst selling you a policy, then wash their hands of you when it comes to a claim.

5:30 pm

uusue2

yes, it's sorted, the car is a total loss. I'll be getting a check next week. Their value for it is quite fair, I think.

5:31 pm

Soodle

Well thats good. See you soon, Sue :-)

5:31 pm

rubyfoo

When I'm really frazzled I start at 1000 and count backwards by 7's

5:32 pm

rubyfoo

((sue))

5:32 pm

MollyL

Deep breaths Ruby, lots of slow, deep breaths.

5:33 pm

rubyfoo

oofs

5:33 pm

Soodle

I'd get to 993, and start getting palpitations, Rubes.

5:33 pm

rubyfoo

sorry

5:34 pm

rubyfoo

I get to about 700 before I wvanesesace

5:34 pm

5:35 pm

rubyfoo

zzzzz

5:36 pm

MollyL

Yeah, that would probably be a good thing to do Ruby. It would weigh on your conscience later.

5:37 pm

Soodle

You know what, Ruby? I'd forget about backwards 7's counting & pop another Xanax!

5:38 pm

MollyL

Whee! Xanax and morphine and la la land!

5:39 pm

Soodle

<----- Dearly wishes she could access xanax, or canabis, or any other mind altering substance, since alcohol is off my agenda for at least 6 months!

5:50 pm

Soodle

I think my 5.39 post qualifies as a conversation stopper. Maybe it's time for bed. G'night all.

6:40 pm

jesdraggon

6:40 pm

MollyL

I was inspired by the s'mores comment

6:40 pm

saanichcat

too right

6:40 pm

jesdraggon

local news: http://www.khq.com/

6:40 pm

jesdraggon

MollyL

Oh, I can't get into the climate change thing. I'll step out now.

6:41 pm

saanichcat

Molly I meant that in jest; I am getting paranoid about ambiguous comments

6:42 pm

saanichcat

NOT from you

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

are there fires in vancouver WA?

6:43 pm

MollyL

Well I can't blame you there Saan. It seems everything gets taken uber personally here these days.

6:43 pm

jesdraggon

not that I know of, but have been primarily paying attention to eastern and central washington

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have watched the news but the exact locales are not recognizable.

6:44 pm

6:45 pm

rururocks

I tend to agree with that.. while sometimes it is difficult to really understand intent... you'd hope that people could really read things without jumping to conclusions all the time

6:47 pm

saanichcat

thanks ru, you said it better than I could

6:48 pm

jesdraggon

yah... if i intend to be personal, i'll specify :)

I just made the brownie in a cup recipe for my son for dessert. Good stuff.

7:03 pm

ChampFit

Is it a microwave thing?

7:03 pm

jesdraggon

ha4 way

7:03 pm

MollyL

Yes, it's a microwave thing.

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Thanks for the ar 7 :)

7:05 pm

ChampFit

Great idea. Esp. because they're just a one cup thing. You're welcome Liz. Although I'm really not here, 'cause I'm in timeout. :)

7:05 pm

MollyL

Oh, sorry about the nice and easy thing, Jes. Just remember, if anything upsets your delicate equilibrium here, you can always go whine on Facebook.
: P

7:05 pm

MollyL

I like the one cup things because I tend to abuse the whole pan of brownies thing.

7:06 pm

jesdraggon

hah. I can't though - no facebook page. I'll old-school kvetch on LiveJournal!

7:06 pm

saanichcat

too funny Molly!

7:06 pm

ChampFit

Eactly Molly. I don't bake for that very reason.

7:08 pm

MollyL

Yeah, I'm not a Facebook person either. I'm not a fan of "all about me" people.

7:11 pm

MollyL

Some people bring their kids to work. I bring my baked goods to work so they don't end up expanding my waist line.

8:00 pm
