good morning all

3:12 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Sprite

3:13 am

Lizlin

Hope all's well with you.

3:13 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Good to see you. I will send you a new series to read today. You might like it. Very well written series about a cop who has become a chaplain, and after a crisis has started working as chaplain in a prison. But he can't forget he is a cop too and when things happen, he works as a detective to solve them.

3:14 am

Lizlin

Sounds good. Thanks. Reading Chainfire now :)

3:14 am

sprite

yeah I am ok. Just very, very tired. But, Rob is feeling better today and will start doing some chores again, which means I can begin to re4 a little, I hope

3:15 am

sprite

ah great! Fascinating, aren't they, chainfire and phantom? I enjoyed them very much.

3:15 am

Lizlin

That's good - for both of you.

3:16 am

sprite

hehehe german for crime scene is in the grid

3:16 am

sprite

not valid though

3:17 am

Lizlin

I'm enjoying Chainfire more than some of the others. I really like the series but think perhaps in places he was too long winded. He's got point to make but sometimes takes too long.

3:17 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} for my two favourite peeps. good morning sprite. g'day liz

3:17 am

Lizlin

Hugs, Rose

3:17 am

sprite

yes I agree. He could have done with a bit more intensive editing in the later books. You can tell he has become too big and famous and the publisher is careful with him.

3:18 am

Lizlin

Very true.

3:18 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Good evening, dear friend. How did your day go? Are you rested a bit?

3:19 am

grannyrose

you could say that sprite. we BOTH came slowly awake at about 9:30am. how was your yesterday and night?

3:20 am

sprite

I think you will love the chaplain series, Liz. The stories are good and well written, but the language is beautiful too.

3:20 am

Lizlin

That sounds good. Don't remember the last time I slept that long!

3:21 am

grannyrose

chap came and measured for the new security door today. it will be 2-3 weeks before it is fitted. :-(

3:21 am

Lizlin

I'll look forward to it. Got lots to read :)

3:21 am

sprite

oh how wonderful, rose. Am so glad :)
My days and nights are bumpy, I am just too tired. Singing was fun. Got a great compliment about my performance this weeked :)
But day ended in a fight with Rob. He can be such an ass sometimes. So I didn't sleep very restfully.

3:21 am

Lizlin

Aw that's tough Sprite

3:22 am

grannyrose

naughty Rob.... what did he do/say?

3:22 am

Lizlin

Great about the compliment though.

3:22 am

sprite

isn't it great, Liz, to know you have several books and series waiting for you to read? I so remember the times before epubs... me standing for a very full bookcase and wondering which one I could rerereread without getting bored.

3:24 am

sprite

he was scratching himself with the new remote and I said not to do that. He blew up and wanted to know if I didn't have anything better to do that harassing me. Nice, after a full week of intensive caring for him and picking up all chores, huh... ugh.

3:24 am

sprite

than harrassing him*

3:26 am

Lizlin

I still retread my favourites though and recently a friend sent me a real book.

3:27 am

sprite

I still love real books and I read them too. And I still reread my favourites often. It is just easier to have enough to read always. And easier to explore new series and books.

3:27 am

Lizlin

That's for sure. I love using my iPad to read. I also love having such a great choice of books.

3:31 am

sprite

rose chasing a squirrel?

3:32 am

Lizlin

Could be! I miss squirrels. Used to love watching them - so agile.

3:32 am

grannyrose

nope, right here. :-P

3:32 am

sprite

lol ok... since you didn't respond to what I said about Rob... I was wondering :D

3:33 am

sprite

squirrels are amazing to watch. I know in some places they are pests, but here they are not and I love love love seeing them.

3:34 am

Lizlin

But then again, though I had squirrels in London, here I have so many different and colourful birds.

3:34 am

sprite

and whales! Don't forget whales!

3:36 am

Lizlin

Season is just starting :) will probably go out for the first time next week or the week after.

3:36 am

sprite

so lovely

3:36 am

Lizlin

Koalas and kangas too.

3:37 am

sprite

I would swap our squirrels with all that too if I could :D

3:37 am

grannyrose

re Rob...still fuming on your behalf. then i sneaked out. i remembered i had some rocky road chocolate which i bought at the chocolate factory on Phillip Island.

3:37 am

Lizlin

I look forward to seeing squirrels in London.

3:37 am

sprite

ooooo *beams over to rose's with a spoon*

3:38 am

Lizlin

I'll stick with the bread we just got out of the oven - smothered in butter!

3:38 am

grannyrose

it is yummy. the chocolatier has used true rose turkish delight in it.

3:38 am

sprite

hold the butter, gimme the bread :D

3:39 am

sprite

sounds interesting, rose!

3:39 am

Lizlin

:) though Rose's chocolate does sound yummy. I just don't eat much chocolate.

3:40 am

grannyrose

it's okay liz. *puts on brave face* i'll eat your share

3:40 am

sprite

ok... things are looking up. Rob just came up and said he is sorry about last night.

3:41 am

Lizlin

That's good, Sprite.

3:41 am

sprite

it would look more convincing if you'd hide the drooling, rose...

3:41 am

Lizlin

Don't force yourself, Rose cos I might force myself!

3:41 am

grannyrose

lololol

3:41 am

sprite

yeah it is. Feels a lot better now.

3:42 am

grannyrose

okay so the man said he is sorry. until the next time.... and i am not a cynic.

3:43 am

sprite

yeah well, none of us is perfect, so that is ok. Next time it might be me being an ass. So it's ok.

3:44 am

grannyrose

*giggle* ikr ? did you read my email?

3:45 am

sprite

yes with lots of pleasure, lol. Will write back today. Today is MINE... not gonna do too much. Arrange for celebrating Tim's birthday on saturday, is all. And take a long shower.

3:47 am

Lizlin

Really happy to have seen you both - time for me to leave. Hugs.

3:47 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Have a lovely evening, Liz

3:47 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz. enjoy your evening

3:50 am

sprite

3:52 am

grannyrose

How did your art show go Scrabs?

5:54 am

Scrabbler

It is on Saturday from 8:30-1.

5:54 am

bichon

Have a great time

5:54 am

Scrabbler

I have so much to do to get ready.

5:56 am

car.eeyore

good morning

5:57 am

bichon

Did you hear that the police may investigate the parents of the boy who slipped into the gorilla area at the zoo in Cincinatti? It wasn't as if th mother was off doing something else.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Hi Car

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Well, what WAS she doing?

6:02 am

lil*monkey

Morning all ! By her own admission, she had turned AWAY from the toddler (even after he said he wanted to climb in the pen) to manage some other children. So I think an investigation is warranted.

6:02 am

bichon

She had other kids and the boy, contrary to her directions slipped in. And why wasn't the exhibit more secure

6:03 am

lil*monkey

And why is 1 adult allowed to bring in more children than she can manage?

6:06 am

EvaNadine

gooooooood mornin babblers!

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Hi Eva. How many weeks now?

6:08 am

EvaNadine

23 weeks this past monday. :)

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Excellent.

6:21 am

EvaNadine

MIL is taking us this week to FINALLY get a registry started. im excited!

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Don't get too much unnecessary stuff. Get the essentials.

6:22 am

EvaNadine

oh, agreed. i figure OTHER PEOPLE will get all the unnecessary stuff...heh

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Babies puke and poop a lot, so have lots of diapers and clothes.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Oh, and they grow...fast.

6:24 am

car.eeyore

I'm helping to plan a baby shower right now and it is so much fun!

6:24 am

EvaNadine

yeah. the book ive been reading gives a number for how many diapers babies go through in the first year. if hubby were to do that math, hed faint!

6:25 am

sandr

Save money and buy terry toweling nappies, re-usable!!

6:26 am

sandr

rale

6:26 am

sandr

oops

6:26 am

Scrabbler

And babies are gas machines and they are fussy the first 4 months, so get the parents gripe water for the baby and a swing is life-saving.

6:26 am

car.eeyore

When I was in Babies R Us the other day, I was amazed at all the stuff they have come out with just in the past 13 years. But I did notice that some of it plays on new parents fears. Didn't like that.

6:26 am

car.eeyore

A swing! OMG Yes! A swing!

6:27 am

Scrabbler

I agree, sandr. Cloth-diapers are ecologically sensible.

6:27 am

EvaNadine

my MIL has been scouring the swaps, mom-sales, and yard sales. shes gotten us a number of different kinds of each thing, since you never know what baby will take to. then, the ones he doesnt want, we can re-swap later! (luckily, we've got the space)

6:27 am

Scrabbler

There are so many gadgets and gimmicks--to heat baby wipes now!

6:29 am

EvaNadine

im very interested in cloth-diapering, but im not sure its for us. financially, it seems to be a wash with disposable diapering, but once im back to work, it means a LOT more laundry...which is already going to be a lot more, just from having the little guy to start with!
plus, im not sure hubby is even remotely sold on the idea...

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work now, so I can reassure parents now about their puking, gassy, fussy, healthy babies, and sassy, defiant, healthy kids, and eye-rolling, sighing, door-slamming teens.

6:29 am

car.eeyore

LOL...thank God for you Scrabs!

6:30 am

Scrabbler

*deep breath* I must be patient and compassionate even when I am not in the mood. Two nights of 6 hrs of sleep = Miss Cranky Pants.

6:34 am

EvaNadine

you can DO it!

6:36 am

car.eeyore

Stats please for the A in the second column?

6:40 am

ahh. i love making lists.
it feels so fulfilling to cross something off when youre done.
sometimes i even write "make list" as my first item, just so i can cross something off right away!

7:12 am

TheByzantine

I do don't do lists and put don't do so I can cross it off.

7:12 am

bichon

not even a shopping list?

7:13 am

7:13 am

7:14 am

TheByzantine

When I list I worry about fainting

7:14 am

mael

I did, thank you! He was born in March, less than two yeatrs between him and his sister which may or may not have been a good idea

7:14 am

Anniebrook

congrats, mael on your new little guy

7:15 am

mael

he's a good little man, sleeps 8-10 hours straight at night (I must have accidentally sacrificed something to an elder god for that one)

7:15 am

Anniebrook

yes, that is wonderful

7:16 am

bichon

My daughter [adopted] was sleeping 12 hrs. a night when we got her at 2 months

7:18 am

mael

it's a life saver. My first was a good sleeper too but this is amazing. He must have gotten the memo that since mama has a toddler to chase around too, waking up every couple of hours was just not going to be a good idea for anyone :)

Good morning, Babblonians!

Hi Judi

8:19 am

MollyL

I'm so DC oriented. I thought Eva's post said Gallery Place

8:27 am

EvaNadine

ugh. i hate having my car serviced -- i never know what of the list of things they recommend REALLY need to be done. and what a decent price is for each item...

8:27 am

EvaNadine

hah molly! i work right by there, so it rings "home" to me as well!

8:34 am

Judi

Are you at the dealership, Eva?

8:38 am

hurshy

i wonder if anyone has put up such info on the web? what decent prices are for various car repair jobs i mean.

8:39 am

Judi

In most cases, I think the cost of labor exceeds the parts needed for repairs. Most places always try to "up sell" you on something else. I hate the up sell.

8:41 am

hurshy

yes, but decent hourly rates in various locales might ALSO be posted somewhere online

8:42 am

Judi

True. Never hu5 to shop around.

8:45 am

EvaNadine

right now my car is at the dealership (which i know always charges more) so im trying to figure if it's worth the savings to take it somewhere else, being that it will take more time...

8:48 am

best of luck eva :) ttfn

Old Crazy Al comes in handy a lot in this game.

9:34 am

Glantarell

He seems less crazy these days, compared to other politicians in your country and mine...

9:36 am

Judi

I would say Al Gore is more irrelevant than anything these.

9:37 am

HarryHood

If I were him I'd be a bitter man. To have your whole future turn on such an arbitrary decision

9:37 am

Wolvie

welll i popped back in and found the 9- was trying for another r from the first column lol

9:37 am

HarryHood

I wonder if we'd even be stuck in Iraq if the supreme court had decided the other way.

9:38 am

Wolvie

we will never know unfortunately Harry- it was a regrettable decision- at least to me

9:39 am

HarryHood

I think gore/lieberman would have been terrific - they both seemed very level-headed.

9:39 am

HarryHood

since then, everything has gone wonky.

9:40 am

rubyfoo

He was prescient and sensible AND smart

9:40 am

rubyfoo

9:41 am

9:42 am

Wolvie

HarryHood

bye wolvie

9:43 am

rubyfoo

bye wolvie

9:45 am

Judi

The press covers the front-runners. Presidential candidates are news worthy. Hence "free" press.

9:45 am

HarryHood

there's a horde of angry voters out there who eat this stuff up - my wife's brother in law is one of them. You have to see the stuff he reposts on his facebook page - very frightening

9:45 am

cybernan

3 surgeons were discussing their most challenging cases....

9:46 am

MLFAN17

does the ab6 come from the 2nd a third column?

9:46 am

cybernan

the first one talked about reattaching the severed fingers of a concert pianist who later went on to play a command performance for the queen...

9:46 am

rubyfoo

Hello Nan, what's the punchline? (like 3 guys walk into a bar....)

9:46 am

rubyfoo

9:47 am

rubyfoo

hi MLF

9:48 am

cybernan

the 2nd one talked about a runner who had his leg mangled in a car accident. After several surgeries the guy won an olympic gol medal.

9:48 am

rubyfoo

holding breath....and the 3rd one?

9:48 am

cybernan

the 3rd surgeon said his most challenging case was a cowboy who rode his horse into an oncoming train.....wait for it.....

9:49 am

Judi

Not sure if that horde qualifies as voters yet. Angry protesters more obvious. A large portion of which are funded by political support groups on both sides. Paid protesters. Many of them don''t even know what they are supposed to be protesting. They get paid, so they show up and create some havoc.

9:49 am

cybernan

all that was left was a hank of golden hair and the horse's ass, but he reattached them....

9:49 am

cybernan

and now he is running for president of the united states

9:50 am

10:27 am

Glantarell

OK bichon. Are you on a low carb diet too?

10:27 am

flosey

ty Glantarell - incidentally, were you the Welsh lady I had chatted with regarding hubby's Welsh relatives?a while back

10:27 am

Glantarell

yes Flosey, I have been off Babble for a while

10:27 am

bichon

Yes, at least for refined carbs, like potatos and white bread

10:28 am

Glantarell

Type 1 or 2 diabetes Bichon?

10:28 am

flosey

we have been in contact with some of them - and found some in Victoria

10:29 am

Glantarell

of, well done Flosey

10:29 am

bichon

type 2. That was discovered 20 years ago. Now I have it under control with oral meds and diet [as well as exercise]

10:30 am

flosey

off now, bb at flip

10:31 am

Glantarell

Hospitals and local medical centres in the Netherlands have been working together to help type 2 diabetics reduce meds or even not take them altogether. There is a video somewhere on this website - and lots of other interesting stuff - http://www.dietdoctor.com/the-food-rev\nolution-2016?utm_source=Diet+Doctor+Ne\nwsletter&utm_campaign=c493e7c5a8-Test&\nutm_medium=email&utm_term=0_41db911777\n-c493e7c5a8-463609085

I thought you were in Wales Glant

10:31 am

Glantarell

I am

10:32 am

Glantarell

But according to my doctiors I have been borderline diabetic for 10 years, so I thought I'd do some research

10:33 am

Glantarell

I am trying to make sure I don't move form borderline to diagnosed :-)

10:40 am

bichon

the best thing you can do is stay away from refined carbs and exercise

10:42 am

Glantarell

I am staying away from as many carbs as I can, which is also helping me lose weight without calorie counting. I was walking 4-5 miles a day for most of last year but seem to have lost my mojo over the winter

10:42 am

bichon

I initially lost 50 lbs

10:42 am

Glantarell

I've lost about 18lbs so far

10:43 am

bichon

4-5 miles a day is really good

10:43 am

Glantarell

Need to lose another 30lbs for myself, docs would probably say to lose 45 but I look ill when I am that thin

10:44 am

Glantarell

funnily enough, i didn't lose any weight walking - and I don't dawdle

10:44 am

bichon

I eat a whole grain cereal [like oatmeal] with flax seed meal in it

10:45 am

bichon

You brobable burned off about 600 calories by walking

10:45 am

bichon

Quinoa is good for you as it is a root crop and not a grain

10:46 am

Glantarell

yes, but the weight didn't change in 2 years of that level of exercise and 'healthy eating'

10:46 am

Glantarell

I like quinoa

11:03 am

bichon

lots of veggies

11:44 am

hurshy

i find that it's about 100 cals per mile

11:45 am

hurshy

but i recently read that short bursts (even like 1 min) of high intensity exercise can boost your metabolism, so i'm trying to add that in to my exercise habits. also green tea is supposed to boost metabolism so i also have added that... iced right now!

11:48 am

Glantarell

When they say 1 minute they mean a really really intensive minute of the kind that makes you feel sick hurshy

11:49 am

Glantarell

did you see the horizon programme with Michael Mosely about exercise?

11:49 am

Glantarell

He tested the theory, good to watch if it is still on iplayer

Well, it helps if the person asking for a clue indicates which da7 they are looking for. The first da7 sounds a bit like a crustacean with big claws that you eat with lemon and butter.

Any clues before I head off to the shops?

7:00 pm

Lizlin

It's usually the US spellings of words that I miss!

7:02 pm

MollyL

You mean those words without the extra U's?
: D

7:03 pm

MollyL

I still don't get that. It's colour but not actour. Humour but not terrour.

7:03 pm

Lizlin

I love the extra u's and most of the other extras too - except I've never seen ether spelt with an a at the beginning except in babble!

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Who said that English was logical? bough, sough, rough etc

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Not to forget cough!

Enjoy your evenings everyone - I'm having a day of cooking!

I usually play first thing when I get up, then check in late at night when you two are playing. I am trying to get /Vol 4 finished before it finishes me!

11:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

good luck! i know how hard writing / editing / proofreading can be

11:35 pm

RoundBarn

my editor is off guiding at Yellowstone, so various parts have stood still. Rasta has an index ready to go--she sometimes comes on and helps with a word here. Some of the chat is fun--today a discussion about cloth versus paper nappies--as those of us who hd babies in Britain have always called diapers. I listened, didn't put in my two cents.

11:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm trying to get nbt without using any helps, still stuck on two, going to have to open up my cheat sheet (I too have nothing to say about nappies / diapers)

11:38 pm

RoundBarn

I'll sign off. Nappies are better for the invironment--and when I had babies, for the first two, paper ones hadn't been invented yet!
