good morning all
1:44 am
sprite
*gives rose a big hug*
1:53 am
Maisie
Good morning
1:54 am
sprite
*hugs Maisie* Good morning, dear one! How are you doing?
1:55 am
Maisie
You know me, fine thanks. How are you
1:56 am
sprite
all good here. Just waiting for any member of my intervision group to answer my email, lol. I do not have transportation today to go to the intervision meeting. If nobody can pick me up, I cannot go. And oh what a drama that would be (NOT)
1:57 am
Maisie
What's an intervison group
1:58 am
rbud
I actually like it better when lickety comes in later. I'm gr5ful for the list, don't get me wrong, but it's fun to work at it among ourselves, too.
1:58 am
sprite
for the volunteer work I do, we come together with our trainer and our fellow members and discuss some of the telephone or chat conversations we have had in the past month.
1:59 am
sprite
hiya rbud!
1:59 am
rbud
I miss Volleymomdee, she's always fun to watch as she works it all out.
2:00 am
Maisie
Thanks sprite, Hi rbud. I don't even look at the list till I get really stuck
2:00 am
rbud
hi hi! just passing back through for a bit. got to 100 left so far.
2:00 am
Maisie
How is the new baby
2:01 am
sprite
keeping the list hidden until really stuck at the end gives me the most fun.
2:01 am
sprite
what's with Dee then, rbud?
2:01 am
rbud
I don't, either, Maisie, but there's always a big slackback of clueing after the list comes up, seems to me. Kind of an "oh, well, no need to try now" feeling... if you follow.
2:02 am
rbud
Not sure, I still see her at facebook sometimes, but not here any more. Unless she's here when I'm not. Maybe I'll ask, hmmm...
2:02 am
sprite
I very much dislike the unsolicited calling of biggies, so that is why I do no longer play at fliptime
2:04 am
rbud
oh, well, there is that. I always look for that in the back chog, but then I mostly am doing it later on, too, a few hours after flip.
2:06 am
sprite
anyway, most days I get to chat at this later time with rose and maisie and Kam and flosey and you, and whoever else feels likie joining in... so that is something delightful that's come from it :)
2:06 am
grannyrose
cooee and g'ay from me
2:07 am
Maisie
Wondered where you had gone, hi Rose
2:07 am
sprite
there she is. Took some doing to chase you out of the woodwork, my dear. *hugs*** again.
2:07 am
Maisie
What do you mean later time, I've only just woken up
2:07 am
grannyrose
dee doesn't want to be seen in chat because when Trump was voted in, and she said she had voted for him, dee was vilified by those in chat at the time. i was absolutely appalled.
2:07 am
sprite
lolll Maisie :)
2:08 am
Maisie
That's awful Rose poor Dee
2:08 am
sprite
that is the reason nobody should discuss politics in chog. It is amazing, the things people say when someone has the utter nerve to have a different opinion from theirs.
2:08 am
grannyrose
hey Maisie and Sprite. huggggssss for both of you.
2:09 am
rbud
oh, no, that's horrible. I know she says a thing or two now and then at FB, but I just let it go, as I do with others, because I love other things about them more.
2:10 am
grannyrose
hugs rbud.
2:10 am
sprite
I think Trump is a creep, but that does not give me the right to vilify someone who thinks he is great.
2:10 am
rbud
I can't believe anyone here was that mean. Sigh.
2:10 am
grannyrose
exactly sprite.
2:11 am
Maisie
I think most politicians are creeps, just in it for themselves
2:11 am
sprite
amen, Maisie. I always say that politicians are people who are paid to be professional liars ;)
2:11 am
grannyrose
don always asks.... how do you now when a politician is lying?
2:11 am
rbud
it would be easy for us all to go nuts, I've always liked the nice level of civility that mostly goes on here.
2:11 am
sprite
his mouth is moving?
2:11 am
grannyrose
answer.... their mouth is moving
2:12 am
Maisie
I agree with that, and we have wasted enough chat on them!
2:12 am
grannyrose
roflolll sprite.
2:12 am
rbud
that was my guess, too, lol! :)
2:14 am
sprite
I agree, rbud, usually babble chat is very civil for an internet community. Babblers, for the most part, are great people!
2:14 am
grannyrose
we both had the best night since forever last night. slept like babes and woke naturally when we were ready.starting to feel like doing stuff finally.not just keep it rolling, but extra stuff. another might like that and we will be up and away... loll
2:15 am
Maisie
Nice one Rose
2:15 am
Maisie
Nice one Rose
2:15 am
rururocks
Were people really vilifying her or she took it personally
2:16 am
sprite
oh wow rose, you were due a night like that. Several, actually. Am so glad.
2:16 am
grannyrose
no, ruru. i saw what they said. and it was disgusting.
2:16 am
rbud
the only other time I recall being a bit outraged at the treatment of anyone here was when someone was picked on for getting a pup from a breeder. Uncalled-for meanness to a lovely person.
2:16 am
sprite
hiya ru. Dee isn't that touchy.
2:16 am
rururocks
I don't remember the chat but no one in the late night crowd strike me as vilifyers
2:16 am
Maisie
She needs to be here at this time of day, we are nice
2:17 am
sprite
*grins* Most of the time, Maisie... but when we aren't nice, we are being bad and that is even better...
2:18 am
Maisie
Yes but our bad is a bit different and it's usually Rose who starts it lol
2:18 am
grannyrose
unfortunately ruru i cannot remember names or even the date. all i remember is how appaling to treat dee like that when these people had been playing babble and chatting with her for quite some time.
2:18 am
grannyrose
HEY !! i resemble that remark Maisie.
2:18 am
sprite
it is always rose who starts it. I wouldn't dream of starting something naughty. *innocent blink*
2:19 am
Maisie
me neither sprite
2:19 am
rbud
I would have missed it because we were in the hospital last fall during election time. couldn't spend time on a computer, really.
2:19 am
rururocks
Well. trump does bring out strong feelings one way or another
2:19 am
sprite
no need to call names or dates. Let's leave it in the past, where it belongs.
2:19 am
grannyrose
ROFLOLLLL oh sprite, you wicked, wicked lady
2:19 am
Maisie
sorry Rose lol
2:19 am
sprite
rbud, you really had no energy or time to spare back then, of course. Tough time.
2:20 am
sprite
strong feelings are fine, ru. But we can be careful in the way we express them, and not be vicious to somebody with a different opinion.
2:20 am
rbud
well, that and the public access computers in the hospital were limited. I was here a few times, but didn't talk much.
2:21 am
sprite
not easy to join in the banter when your life is all about illness and loss, rbud. I have had a few episodes where I didn't chat much either. Hard to believe, I know ;)
2:22 am
Maisie
sometimes it just helps to be here without saying anything
2:22 am
sprite
true, Maisie.
2:22 am
Maisie
\hows the new baby rbud
2:22 am
grannyrose
as have we all, sprite, as you well know. rbud, we support more than anything here.
2:22 am
rbud
most of the public access computers wouldn't allow access to facebook, which I thought was a great idea, hahaha
2:23 am
sprite
lollllll facebook is one big timesink... and data collecting site. I hear ya!
Good question, Maisie... rbud, how IS that new baby doing?
2:24 am
rbud
oh, she's just adorable, but our son and her mom spent the day sniping at each other in cell phone texts. she wants him to magically change, she has a lot to learn.
2:25 am
rururocks
If that is why dee doesn't chat it is just sad. Everyone likes her and she was really fun at the flip
2:25 am
sprite
oooooo is that lady missing the boat by a long shot... lol! People can change... but only through their own volition, and usually not overnight.
2:25 am
rbud
I spent 30 years wishing my hubby would give up his one really bad habit, (too much beer, too often) but I never tried to change him.
2:25 am
Maisie
and not through sniping
2:25 am
sprite
I can't be a fan of her endless listings, ru, but Dee is a good person and a valued babbler. She deserves better.
2:26 am
grannyrose
okay, i am out of sync here. i know there is a new grandbabby. wose is the father, and who is the mother?
2:26 am
Maisie
you should ask who's the grandma
2:27 am
sprite
I agree, Maisie, never through sniping. But having your first child is definitely a culture shock. Not sleeping the nights through doesn't help matters. And the hormone rollercoaster of pregnancy, birth and feeding is a lady dog. I can understand her being unreasonable.
2:27 am
rbud
Our son is the daddy, and he's a bit reluctant to turn into a domestic type. :p
2:27 am
grannyrose
aaarrrggghhh i know rbud is the granny. who are the parents and how are they related to rbud... pleeeeeas
2:28 am
Maisie
Agree sprite, he'll get there hopefully
2:28 am
sprite
keep up, rose, tsk.
2:29 am
Maisie
Well I must go, have a playdate with our 2 one year olds. See you all tomorrow xoxox
2:29 am
grannyrose
ummmm, take away both their phones and tell them they can have them back once they are being nice to each other.
2:29 am
rbud
his girlfriend is the new mom, and has another cute little boy from a previous relationship. he's about 4 and a half, lots of freckles and red hair. He's fun, too, but drives our son nuts.
2:29 am
sprite
have a terrific time, Maisie *hugssss*
2:29 am
Maisie
lol Rose bye
2:29 am
sprite
oh I like that, rose :D
2:29 am
grannyrose
bye Maisie. enjoy your day sweetie. xoxox
2:29 am
rbud
(the little boy belongs to the girlfriend, NOT our son. trying to be clear here, haha!)
2:30 am
grannyrose
and four year olds are notoriously little stinkers too
2:31 am
sprite
I remember saying here in chat once that little kids should come with an offswitch... and somebody totally blew up at me for that, lol.
2:31 am
rbud
I often wish I could shut son's phone off, but he's 26 now and a bit past my ability to discipline, more's the pity.
2:31 am
sprite
phantom: campaign
2:31 am
grannyrose
i would have traded each of my boys at four for a puppy every time.
2:32 am
rbud
hahaha!!! I hear that, rose!
2:32 am
sprite
his loss, rbud. Boy childs should be answerable to their mums until 28 at least :)
2:32 am
rbud
this one IS a wound-up little handful, but so far he loves his new little baby sister.
2:33 am
grannyrose
may i give you some advice, no strings attached.
2:33 am
sprite
that might be the problem, they forgot to attach the strings to tie him down
2:35 am
grannyrose
although this little boy is not your son's child, could you advise him, quietly, that to make a fuss of him will make a world of difference.
2:37 am
grannyrose
i don't know how my son did it. he has two step-sons and they both listen to him when he speaks out. my son now has three of his own, and the way he runs his home, in tandem with his wife, is staggering.all the kids heed him.
2:37 am
rururocks
If I had a nickel for everyone that blew up at me here i could retire
2:38 am
sprite
you and me both, ru
2:38 am
grannyrose
i have retired.... lolll
2:40 am
sprite
well, some people take offence very easily. And some seem to enjoy being offended more than to accept an apology. Thank God they are the exception here.
2:42 am
rururocks
I had one emotional player tell me I hope you die from aids. But i still chat
2:43 am
sprite
that is a truly awful thing to say to anyone. Am glad it didn't chase you away, ru
2:46 am
zoozzoom
Hello fellow babblers :-)
2:47 am
zoozzoom
Hope you are all keeping well?
2:48 am
rururocks
Hi zooz

Oh just read you comment, Ru. what a nasty thing for someone to say.
2:49 am

Looks like I have scare, Sprite, away lol

Just putting the earlier comments in perspective. There are some "overly excitable" people here sonetimes
2:51 am
zoozzoom
Hope you are well?
2:51 am
zoozzoom
Earlier comments..hmm..will have a quick look back.
2:51 am
grannyrose
i am okay thanx zooz. yourself and the parents?
2:53 am
sprite
sorry, telephone call. Hiya zooz, dear man! *hugs* How rae you and how are your parents doing?
2:53 am
sprite
I wouldn't call Dee overly excitable
2:55 am
rururocks
No. That isnt what i meant sprite
2:56 am
sprite
ah, I wondered, ru. Since she was the one who was chased away from babble chog by things that were said here.
2:56 am
zoozzoom
Just read back..Shame about, Dee. Hope she comes back into the chat at some point although I a not often on at that time of the day here. People can be cruel at times here.
2:57 am
zoozzoom
I remember I was chatting to, Ruby, about trump and saying not nice things about him when someone piped up and asked us not to talk about politics. I could of said we can talk about what we want but I respected her wishes as I think it was offending her. So I stopped.
2:58 am
zoozzoom
I am well thank, Rose parents are doing okayish thanks.
2:58 am
sprite
well I managed to finagle a hitchhike from a fellow volunteer... to the meeting. For going home, I have to hope for the best since she has to leave early, lol.
2:58 am
zoozzoom
There you are, Sprite!
2:58 am
zoozzoom
Can you not leave early with her, Sprite?
2:59 am
sprite
people can easily go too far discussing politics or religion. That is the reason in most chats, those topics are strongly discouraged.
2:59 am
grannyrose
zooz, i had hoped the warmer weather may have picked them up a tad for you.
2:59 am
sprite
I could, zooz, if I really had to. But I trust somebody will be able to drive me home, or at least drop me at the train station.
3:00 am
sprite
warmer weather? Rose, we are heading into winter here, silly
3:00 am
zoozzoom
Rose when we had temps of around 30C my mother still had her hot water bottle on her lap lol bless her. Dad is just very weak and frail.
3:00 am
rururocks
I didn't vote for trump but i can understand why people did. I don't think i would tell someone they are wrong in a harsh way
3:01 am
grannyrose
last i spoke to zooz , sprite, was before we left for europe.
3:01 am
rururocks
I didn't vote for trump but i can understand why people did. I don't think i would tell someone they are wrong in a harsh way
3:01 am
zoozzoom
Exactly, Ruru.
3:01 am
sprite
you have the talent of being able to disagree without putting down the person you disagree with, ru. Some people don't, alas.
3:01 am
zoozzoom
I heard you the first time, Ruru LOL
3:02 am
grannyrose
i am weeping. shooting in Las Vegas. crowds being bullied by army in Catalona. it's too much.
3:03 am
sprite
not. watching. the. news. for exactly that reason
3:03 am
grannyrose
don't sprite. my heart breaks for our beautiful world.
3:03 am
rururocks
Sort of sprite. But i tease the crap out of them ðŸ˜
3:04 am
sandyloo
Interesting chat, I have no problem with people discussing whatever they like. Differing opinions make the world go round.
3:04 am
zoozzoom
That is the thing about news on the TV mainly..It is full of hard hitiing nasty things that is going on all the time,Rose, best to try not to watch too much of it. ((Rose))
3:05 am
sprite
*giggles* teasing is good, ru. Teasing keeps the blood pumping and the laugh muscles trained.
3:05 am
sprite
love you, rose. *hugs*
3:05 am
zoozzoom
Laugh muscles what are they. lol
3:06 am
sprite
hiya sandy! True, dat. But it doesn't work that way for some people, alas.
3:06 am
grannyrose
i give thanx that Don and I were able to make our trip this year.
3:07 am
rururocks
Laugh muscles related to love muscles?
3:07 am
sprite
indeed, rose. So am I.
3:07 am
sprite
yeah, next to eachother, ru. Sometimes they even overlap.
3:07 am
zoozzoom
Oh well if that is the case, ruru my muscles must be puny.
3:08 am
grannyrose
love muscles.... love handles.... don't get them mixed up ruru
3:08 am
sprite
I guess it is a dutch saying that doesn't translate then, grin. We say 'it works on my laugh muscles' when we want to say it strikes us as funny.
3:09 am
sprite
fireflies, btw. Sneaky grid today, with not as much revenue from the gerund as I hoped.
3:09 am

zoozzoom
Makes achange form
3:12 am
grannyrose
are you referring to his ears perchance, ruru?
3:12 am
zoozzoom
Makes a change from him being teased about his ears then.
3:13 am
zoozzoom
Sorry hit the return key before I went to correct.
3:13 am
grannyrose
which brings to mind... how does any woman hold her liquer?
3:13 am

Oh was it about his ear lol
3:13 am

Hello, Sandy :-)

very cold today so I am feeling lazy
3:21 am

I should think Spring is just around the corner for you now. Will not be long before the hot days will be with you!
3:21 am
sandyloo
I went for a walk yesterday and trod on a dugite however, I ran away and was OK!
3:21 am
zoozzoom
Do you not have a hot water bottle?
3:22 am
sandyloo
I had my new puppy with me and she was not on the lead. She is a Jack Russel and I was terrified she would see the snake
3:22 am
zoozzoom
Oh wow! I would of pooped myself to be honest. Not keen on any snake!
3:23 am
zoozzoom
Some dogs seem to be fearless too. Glad she was okay.
3:23 am
sandyloo
I am quite cosy inside actually. I hate snakes as most here are very dangerous. Actually I have to go and bring the horses in so out into the cold I go. Sorry to leave you all alone! Bbl
3:24 am
zoozzoom
Hope you have a great evening, Sandy!
3:25 am
zoozzoom
Don't worry about me being all by my self here. I do not mind...wipes a tear away from my eye with my jumper sleeve..sniff..sniff
3:26 am
rururocks
What is a dugite?
3:26 am
zoozzoom
It is a Snake, Ruru.
3:26 am
zoozzoom
A lethal snake at that!
3:29 am
zoozzoom
Oh these bloody crows..They keep hammering on my roof. I swear they are chipping my roof to destruction. i keep going out and trying to shoo them away but they keep coming back. Who said crows are smart. Do they not get the message. GET OFF MY ROOF!!!
3:30 am
rururocks
Wow. You are almost stark raven mad!
3:30 am
zoozzoom
Ha very funny Ru!
3:32 am
zoozzoom
And just for the record crows are much bigger than ravens in fact these crows are humongous!
3:34 am
rururocks
You want to murder them?😖
3:36 am
zoozzoom
Did look online and lots of people say shoot them. But it is not allowed. although to be honest I do not want to go that far. But I am sure they are damaging my roof. But they will not saty away.
3:37 am
rururocks
Wonder why they are doing that?
3:39 am
zoozzoom
Well some people are there are saying they are trying to get grit into their diet to help digest grains and such. But i live right next to the sea. There is plenty of sand for them to eat as much as they want. lol
3:40 am
zoozzoom
What baffles e more is that most of the other houses around here are left alone it is moslty mine and a few others they are concentrating on.
3:41 am
rururocks
Hmmm odd
3:41 am
rururocks
Spray your roof with bitter apple spray
3:43 am
zoozzoom
You do know how much rain we get here, Ruru. that would not last long. Plus It is rather high up to get to my roof. Did I tell you I am scared of heights lol
3:43 am
rururocks
Oh. Sorry
3:44 am
zoozzoom
I cleaned my parents windows the other day and when I got about five rungs up the ladder my legs started to wobble. And I swear it was getting windier at that height of about 20 inches off the ground.
3:46 am
rururocks
I am not big on heights either
3:47 am
zoozzoom
Glad it is just not me then.
3:47 am
zoozzoom
I have nearly finished that book, Ruru. there are some really weird stories near the end of the book.

I am off to bed. Night zooz

What a lovely job to have. Nothing wrong with getting carried away with books!
4:11 am

zoozzoom
My parents were getting rid of some of their books and I saved one called 'Advice To A young Christian' and inside the front cover a hand written note from a guy called Henry Hope to a Edwin Wozencroft and it is dated January 29th 1893. and the hand writing is beautiful. Not seen calligraphy like it.
4:18 am
ivesy3
now that is a beautiful keepsake to have. .
4:18 am
zoozzoom
Although the book is looking a bit tatty which is a shame. But I could not bring myself to let it get thrown away. So I had it.
4:19 am
zoozzoom
Oh yes I agree. i even tried to look up these two people on a notion of giving them the book but could not find much about them lol
4:19 am
zoozzoom
Well not them personally but their relations.
4:20 am
zoozzoom
Just thought that maybe a family member would love to treasure it.
4:22 am
ivesy3

4:24 am
zoozzoom
I would love to find hand drawn illustration books of flowers or insect etc. Seen a few on the antiques road show but not in real life.

4:27 am
ivesy3

My dad said he had a lot of hand written books from the 19th centuary and he sold them all for £3 at the car boot sale. I was gutted and felt sick as I would have snapped those up in a heart beat.

Kaplan the Magne
You could slap a diagnosis on everyone in this country and it would not predict who was going to commit a massacre.
8:03 am
MollyL
Families tend to be in denial about things like that. And getting rid of guns won't completely solve the problem. People will find other ways (home made bombs) to perpetrate their misguided beliefs.
8:03 am
MollyL
I wasn't suggesting a prediction. Just better mental health resources available for those in need.
8:05 am
Kaplan the Magne
No one should be able to easily purchase semi-automatic weapons and military ammunition. Better mental health resources are needed in and of themselves, for everyone, as a separate issue

I hate it when I do that; Aloy, I feel like I put more words in the chat by accident than anyone else. Sometimes it seems likeI only *see* words when I am chatting than when I'm actually searching for words! (& I get so excited I enter them in the wrong place!)

Hi mkg. That was a nice run of clues for the 8's; wasn't it?

One of my brothers in Missoula has been diagnosed with ALS (he went to Mayo Clinic here last month); & he asked us to come out there for Christmas. The 5 of us are planning to go out there; it's going to look so different with all of the fires since we were out there 2 years ago.

So sorry about your brother. ALS is mean stuff. Actually with snow on the mountains you won't notice as much burn.
10:55 pm
Nef
LOL! That depends.
I have 2 full brothers & sisters; but my Mom died when I was 8 & we were raised by an aunt & uncle with their 1 child (So I think of & call my cousin my sister too since I lived with her longer than any of my other siblings).
Then our dad remarried & I have a half sister & a half brother. It's my half brother that has the ALS.
10:57 pm
NonnieLight
Aww...a big family! That is nice. My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's about 2 years ago. It is slowly taking it's toll on him :(
10:58 pm
Nef
That's another tough disease. And my hubby has MS.
These neurologist-degenerative diseases make aging tough.

Indeed they do! We're learning a lot as we go along. He's got a good attitude which helps to keep us smiling :)
