zoozzoom

You start your new job soon, Matty?

4:13 am

mattygroves

Monday, yes! A little nervous ;)

4:13 am

rubyfoo

I'll keep quiet -- blame it on the morphine...

4:14 am

zoozzoom

It is normal to be nervous but you will be fine once in and getting on with the job :-)

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Did not see anything, ruby ;-)

4:15 am

rubyfoo

good boy!

4:17 am

zoozzoom

I am sure Dolite is a word.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I thought the q word had two ll's, like in horse race betting -- first five horses -- not that I'm a gambler or anything....

4:20 am

TheByzantine

Dolite
Someone who is happy claiming dole (social security) for the rest of their lives and usually budgets the Â£40 a week for lecky, fruit machines and weed

4:20 am

zoozzoom

I take it there are many ways of spelling words in enable. And a lot of them are are archaic spellings too.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

hey, only the essentils LOL and hello byz

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Ah thank you, TheByzantine, thought it was a word!

4:22 am

zoozzoom

Fruit machines and weed LOL

4:22 am

zoozzoom

They can have my garden weeds for free if they like lol

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Do you get a choice of what meals you would like through-out the week, Ruby? Or do you get what is delivered?

4:29 am

rubyfoo

No choice and sometimes it's wonderful, other times it's mysterious and others, inedible

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I am just Lucky to have it, otherwise I would eat much less

4:30 am

zoozzoom

Well at least the dogs will have extra food if you are not keen on what they bring that day lol

4:31 am

rubyfoo

I've gained back one kiloi!

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Yay! Good for you, Ruby. not much but it is better than nothing :-)

4:34 am

rubyfoo

I still look like a Halloween leftover, but it is a good trend

4:35 am

rubyfoo

I'm eating lots of nuts and dried fruit, just don't enjoy meat any more -- or alcohol

4:35 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby)) You are being hard on yourself I am sure.

4:36 am

zoozzoom

I do not eat much red meat but I do tend to eat a lot of white meat mainly chicken.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

I look like I've left the hangers inmy clothes

4:37 am

rubyfoo

The best things they make are different types if fish, either as appetizers or mains

4:38 am

rubyfoo

And Rufie challenges me for th fish!

4:38 am

zoozzoom

I do not believe that for one moment. you are a lovely lady. Stop being so hard on yourself.

4:38 am

zoozzoom

LOL @ Rufus.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

4:39 am

zoozzoom

And you are too, Ruby :-)

4:39 am

rubyfoo

blushing to match my sweater!

4:40 am

zoozzoom

You have to look in the mirror and say aloud to yourself "today is going to be a good day"

4:41 am

zoozzoom

And then start the day with a little song or whistle to yourself and plan a few things to get done in a chearful mood and you will be okay.

4:41 am

zoozzoom

It does work I have tried it :-)

4:41 am

rubyfoo

I dothat, but without the Mirror! My bathroom Mirror is an antique, so the blur is more flattering

4:41 am

zoozzoom

LOL you are so funny!

4:42 am

rubyfoo

(I don't know why certain words are caapitalized)

4:44 am

mattygroves

May I have *stats* please for the I in the last column, third row and the N in second column, third row?

4:53 am

rubyfoo

And I often don't recognize the cheese. I like them all except chevre which even the dogs won't eat

4:54 am

rubyfoo

When my son was a little boy, he called chevre "sneeze cheese"

4:54 am

zoozzoom

I hate goat chees except when it is toasted. It really stinks when being grilled but taste so much better.

4:55 am

mattygroves

Is there a gentle hint for the in7?

4:55 am

rubyfoo

gentle, but nervous, needing xanax

4:56 am

zoozzoom

4:58 am

rubyfoo

anybody want a xanax? I read that 80 percentof the French take xanax!

4:58 am

TheByzantine

clonazapam is better

4:58 am

rubyfoo

It must be because of themystery foods since your can hide anything in a sauce, even your pantoufle

4:58 am

zoozzoom

No need for me, Ruby. Got my own supply of zombifiy me tablets :-)

4:59 am

rubyfoo

xanax is a blessing!

4:59 am

TheByzantine

I just cancel the day for lack of interest

5:02 am

rubyfoo

I have to get out ofbed because Princess Raffie stands by the bed and cries, loudly

5:03 am

TheByzantine

5:04 am

zoozzoom

Come on, Ruby, get out of bed and get on with the day :-)

5:04 am

rubyfoo

TheByzantine

I'll take Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island too, it's lovely going through the zoo
It's very fancy on old Delaney Street, you know.
The subway charms us so, when balmy breezes blow to and fro.
And tell me what street compares with Mott street in July,
Sweet push carts gently gliding by
The great big city's a wondrous toy, just made for a girl and boy.
I'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy.

11:18 am

rubyfoo

good evening everybody

11:18 am

rururocks

night ruby

11:18 am

Trifioso

its easy to say "oh, just relax and enjoy the ocean" or whatever, but if one is in a situation that is tense and awful, that's hard to do.

11:18 am

rururocks

tense how?

11:19 am

Trifioso

Im not sure that is 100% true, Car....I think things have not gone as planned at all.

11:19 am

car.eeyore

I wondered why she was staying so long.

11:19 am

Trifioso

apparently mr. mr. hate resents her presence, and has let it be known. and mr hate defers to him in everything, so secondo has rather been shoved in a corner and left to her own. it's lonely

11:20 am

rururocks

oh.. they should have sorted that out before she came down

11:20 am

car.eeyore

Dylan has just asked to clean his room...I must go...

11:20 am

Trifioso

yes. I feel sorry for her, but I have learned to stay WELL out of it

11:20 am

Trifioso

see you soon car

11:21 am

rururocks

wishes my Dylan would ask to clean the house :D

11:21 am

Trifioso

no kidding, huh?

11:21 am

Trifioso

wait....why does car have to go if dylan is cleaning?

11:25 am

Trifioso

im going to go too. Have quite a few things to do before I go to get my mom

11:43 am

MollyL

Well, I can only hope Trif's daughter learns a lesson from this experience. Why bother spending time with someone who treats you like you don't matter?

11:45 am

MollyL

And I would not stay "well out of it" if my kid and their feelings were at stake. It is a Mother's prerogative to make sure their kid is in a good place where they are going to feel wanted and welcome.

11:48 am

rururocks

what is weird to me is why would Trif's ex have her come if it causes such a riff in his relationship

11:49 am

rururocks

and why would her daughter want to go.

11:49 am

rururocks

sounds like obligations gone wrong

11:50 am

rururocks

It's not like I'd invite my ex--wife out with me on my first date :D

11:54 am

MollyL

I don't know Ru. Why send a kid off with someone you refer to as "Mr. Hate" who has proven time and time again that his kids don't matter to him?

11:59 am

rururocks

could be a legal arrangement molly

12:00 pm

rururocks

what I don't understand is why mr hate wants her to come if his partner doesn't like the kid.

Well, at least he's not releasing you into the wild. That would just be irresponsible.

12:20 pm

It's been a hard winter - I should hate to be returned to the wild any time before, say, May.

12:21 pm

rururocks

true .. judi.. it's hard after moms have been domesticated to release them so..

12:21 pm

It's still hibernation time in suburbia. Best just to go back to bed.

I'm city centre - all sorts of wildlife remains active all winter here.

I would too though origami:)

2:12 pm

Do you think people really roll on the floor laughing or laugh out loud as much as they post ROTFL and LOL?

2:13 pm

MLFAN17

depends on who you ask but not in a chat room at least we hope not

2:13 pm

rururocks

I think ROTFL is a little above LOL.. I shoot for the ROTFL all the time :D

2:14 pm

rururocks

2:14 pm

I don't ROTFL. I don't ROTF at all. I have concrete floors.
