1:11 am
cosdem
ironing sucks
1:12 am
Nef
Are you still able to moisten his mouth with those mouth sponges?
1:13 am
Nef
LOL! It really does; but I was also complaining about laundry & cooking too! Those are jobs that never end!
1:13 am
Nef
and are you talking to him about your time together; and does that seem to comfort him?
1:17 am
sammysmom
i used to iron clothes when my kis were small. my mother in kaw bought my 2 girls lovely dresses. one weekend after putting in a 50m hour work week - i decided to do the ironing .. there were 26 beautiful frilly dresses plus all the other stuff for wakter and myself... clled gramma gerry and said next batch of stufff for the girls had damned well better be wash and wear because i woul never do this again... i threw my iron away two weeks later because gramma woukld pick up their laundry ad do it... that was 55 years ago... heh heh
1:19 am
Nef
I made the mistake of buying several tops this past year that are 100% cotton; it's bad enough that even if I rush downstairs & pull them out of the dryer on time; they still need touch ups with the iron.
1:22 am
Nef
you were so lucky to have someone who liked to iron! I don't mind ironing when I have the time; but with son & grandson living here & DH's having so many doctor & dentist appts.; I feel like I never have time for that.
1:28 am

*hugs Liz* Hello dear friend! How is your day going?
2:00 am
Lizlin
Been good thanks - usual sort of stuff. How’ve you been?
2:01 am
sprite
some stressful stuff going on, but minor on the grand scale of things. How about you and your beloved?
2:03 am
Lizlin
All’s really good here. We’ve been busy. Friends came for over 2 weeks, which was lovely but tiring. We went up to the Reef for 5 days, which was great. Now we’re just back in our usual routine. Sorry about your stressful stuff. Hope it’s sorted soon.
2:04 am
sprite
things will work out in the end, I have faith.
Great you had a good time with your friends... and how lovely to look back at the good memories and enjoy your normal routine again :)
2:05 am
Lizlin
:) Didn’t think it was appropriate to chat this morning. Hope you didn’t think I was rude. There was too much other stuff going on.
2:06 am
sprite
no of course not, I felt the same way. Between cos's pain and the silly troll, it was not the place nor the time to catch up.
2:07 am
Lizlin
I don’t chat much these days anyway.
2:07 am
sprite
too busy with life? Or just not meeting up with the right babblers?
2:08 am
Lizlin
The first - don’t really want to spend so much time on the computer. It’s too easy to do that!
2:09 am
sprite
very true.
2:09 am
Lizlin
Not here much longer. We’re going out tonight.
2:10 am

lovely! Where are you going? Something fun I hope?
2:10 am

2:11 am

bye peach *hug*

Just a BBQ - a community thing, so probably won’t stay too late.
2:11 am

could be very pleasant.
2:12 am
Lizlin
Bit cold for us soft Qld’ers.
2:12 am
Lizlin
We actually put on hoodies and tracky

Tracky pants last night.
2:13 am

why not? Take good care of yourself and try to stay comfortable. I was cold tonight and put an extra duvet on the bed!
2:14 am
Lizlin
That’ll come for us before too long!

Time for me to go! Hope the stress lessens very soon. Hugs.

2:39 am
grannyrose
tomorrow i start the maintenance cardiac program. the physio in charge gaily told me i had to start the session by doing " the salt bush".
2:40 am
sprite
the salt bush??
2:40 am
grannyrose
also, i am in need of some psychological help. i am an emotional yoyo at the moment
2:40 am
grannyrose
tina turner... salt bush city limits dance.
2:41 am
sprite
no wonder, sweetie. It has been rather much. And then the new stuff to boot... good for an emotional rollercoaster, with all the pain it brings up.
2:41 am
grannyrose
have been referred, but have to wait until the 28th May, before the clinic can fit me in.
2:42 am
sprite
ugh. Long wait. I am here for you, you know that, right? Please vent to me.
2:43 am
grannyrose
don has been wonderful. except last sunday, he decided to have a tantrum at church.i was so furious that, with rests every so often, i walked myself home.
2:44 am
grannyrose
needless to say i have been paying for it ever since.... loll isn't it incredible what one can do when in a rage??
2:44 am
sprite
omd, that is horrid. He is definitely childish in his tantrum-y bouts :( So sorry, sweetie. You do not need that.
2:45 am
sprite
oh yes. Mines up unexpected reserves. But the price is high.
2:45 am
sprite
don't you drive, honey? You should have made him walk home, and taken the car by yourself :)
2:46 am
grannyrose
*sigh* i handed in my license when i found i couldn't sustain an emergency braking. the pain was/is horrific.
2:47 am
sprite
hm, I understand, wise decision. But painful. (((((rose))))) okay, promise me this, honey... don't ever do this again. Call a cab. It is what they are there for.
2:48 am
grannyrose
not going to happen again !!
2:48 am
sprite
did he promise?
2:49 am
grannyrose
nah.... next time i will just sulk outside. the vicar was very concerned.
2:50 am
sprite
never sulk, lollll. Call that cab. Stay in power and make the man eat humblepie.
2:50 am
sprite
you know I love him, right? But uggggh I do not appreciate his childish tantrums.
2:51 am
grannyrose
apparently they had search parties out looking for me. but vicar did say something quite interesting.
2:51 am
grannyrose
she said... rose, you are always giving, and you are now empty. time to refill yourself.
2:52 am
sprite
amen, rinse and repeat. I like that lady. You listen to her, ya hear? Since you won't take it from me, lol.
2:53 am
grannyrose
sooooo, don and i are definitely taking some time off. prolly late July, after the next infusion.
2:53 am
sprite
awesome. Time to juice up those batteries.
2:54 am
grannyrose
so, tell me. how are the house repairs going? bless Rob for getting on with them.
2:55 am
sprite
oh, btw, called again this morning and was lucky to find a very understand man... he is trying to get the limitations lifted today. If his superior will work with him.
2:55 am
grannyrose
ahhhh, mayhap something to do with my email to them also?
2:56 am
sprite
toilet downstairs is starting to look good. Will be happy as a clam when we can go potty downstairs again, lol. Rob is off to canoe club today, he needs a bit of downtime.
2:56 am
sprite
ohhhh you did? That is awesome. Might well be, though he did not say.
2:56 am
grannyrose
and you sweetie? when is your down time ?
2:56 am
sprite
I have been a client since 2002! He said it was shameful they were giving me such a hard time. Very nice!
2:57 am
sprite
well, let me see... I have the down part down, so to speak, lol. Now about that time...
2:58 am

Yesterday, my big Rufie found animal scat (?? fox?) in the garden and rolled in it. Fortunately a strong friend was here because we had to shampoo him and he's more than 75 lbs
7:44 am
ChampFit
Ugh! Nothing worse than a big dog that's rolled in something smelly. So hard to get rid of the smell sometimes!
7:44 am
rubyfoo
That was plenty of dramaforme, not in need of teenage ngst!
7:45 am
rubyfoo
And he was proud of himself!
7:46 am
rubyfoo
He's a great dog, but not the smartest, just the nicest
7:46 am
ChampFit
Of course! My last dog died a month or so ago, and I miss her so much...but not the mess and not picking up dead things she's killed.
7:47 am
rubyfoo
((champ)) l know how sad that is which is why i have two dogs at a time
7:48 am
rubyfoo
That sounds callous, but l couldn't live here alone without dogs
7:48 am
ChampFit
I did, but the other one passed a year ago. It's time for us to be dog-less for a while. This last round was 18 years straight.
7:48 am
rubyfoo
What kind of dog was she?
7:49 am
ChampFit
Both were rescues. She had a lot of lab in her. But we're finally going to be empty nesters in the fall, so it's time for some FREEDOM!
7:50 am
rubyfoo
With my husband gone, this house would be scary without protective dogs
7:51 am
ChampFit
I totally understand. That's something I definitely miss. Both of my dogs had loud, scary barks. Now I'm surprised when someone comes to the door...no warning system anymore! So weird.
7:52 am
rubyfoo
Exactly! And they know if it's friend or stranger
7:52 am
ChampFit
Well, mine weren't that smart...they made noise regardless! But of course wouldn't hurt a fly. Still...they could scare off a salesperson!
7:53 am
ChampFit
I used to open the door a crack and look helpless while they barked their fool heads off...then shrug and close it again. Ha!
7:55 am
rubyfoo
One of the nurses today was new ans asked that the dogs be confined. l think she needs to get a different job since she has to make home visits to old people (like me) who can't always lock up their doigs
7:55 am
rubyfoo
And most people in this village have dogs
7:56 am
ChampFit
There are people who are deathly afraid of dogs. You're right...she's going to have issues. Lots of people have them.

lneed big dogs here and although they may look scary, l think they'd only bite someone who tried to hurt me.

I'm sure they would, ruby. Dogs know, and they'd want to protect you.

When one of the nurses gives memy daily shot, Rufie sits on my food but doesn't say anything

cos I want to say I’m sorry to you, when I said last night I know how it feels to lose someone close to me I didn’t mean the cat, I meant a person, it wasn’t a husband, I never had one, but the person I am talking about I felt I could confide in him, I loved him, I am talking about my grandpa btw, I was really close to him, I miss him still to this day I’m sorry that I offended you, I’m sorry I made things worse, I tried to comfort and I failed, I’m sorry for that
1:10 pm
MehNameIsHannah
This is the last thing I am going to say on Babble except to ask for a hint, its on my profile: Somehow I managed to get everyone on Babble to hate me. I guess because it seems like I am always trying to get attention. I'm sorry I failed to comfort cos. I'm sorry I failed just to make conversation without seeming like I want attention. I'm sorry I failed all of you. Don’t worry I won’t say anything in the chat unless I need a hint.
1:11 pm
NatashaW
When someone is in an acute stage of grief and loss, it is usually best to focus on them and their experience, and offer loving support, and save sharing one's own experiences of loss for another time. If I am at the deathbed of a loved one, I am probably not in a good place to hear about your past sorrows. You are very young and I can only speak for myself here in saying I for one don't "hate" you, just think you need to maybe take a bit more of a back seat in chatting and let yourself be guided by the tone of the conversation as it takes place. Best of luck to you.
1:12 pm
MLFAN17
we all have had some type of loss

When we had those few days of hot weather I decided to turn of my heating (Economy 7 crap) And since then did not turn it back on. It was 11c in my house the other day LOL Me being stupid still refused to turn it back on.
4:26 pm
Soodle
And the following weekend, I'll be in Swindon, Zooz.
4:28 pm
zoozzoom
Hope you have a good time there, Soodle. I have been there a couple of times but that was many years a go and thought it rather grey and dull.
4:28 pm

Oh, I know. I have the fire lit. I was perished with the cold.

I have been wearing my coat & hat with a tea towel around my neck and a hot water bottle LOL

I would much prefer your temps, NatashaW!
4:30 pm

Tea towel around your neck???? Tea towel??? Do you dry your pots with a scarf? Lol lol
4:31 pm
zoozzoom
Have no scarf. So an old tea towel not used for drying up with anymore has to do :-)

I have rather hairy legs but do not wear any clothes in bed. Hope that was not too much information.
4:33 pm
zoozzoom
Aww thanks, Soodle!

Oh Zooz, I thought you were wearing all that stuff to bed.
4:34 pm
zoozzoom
No no just whilst usong the computer or watching TV etc :-)

6:02 pm

Well yeah, I was trying to be delicate with the term "upper regions". Maybe we should shift gears to the weather. I'm sure we are about to be bombarded with another "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms" thing.

I'm bowled over

The "My hiney's so Charmin shiny" ad is a new low
7:23 pm
hurshy
when are we going to realize that bidets are a far better solution, anyway?
7:25 pm
rururocks
so I googled Eli and came up with Howe
7:25 pm
MollyL
There are people of "sewing machine fame"? Who knew?
7:25 pm
hurshy
i think of the cotton gin more
7:25 pm
Lizlin
Only sewing machine I know was a Singer - my mum's.
7:26 pm
hurshy
or like singer Houston who covered "I Will Always Love You"
7:26 pm
Lizlin
Thanks, Hurshy. That did it for me. Also a town near Oxford.
7:26 pm
rururocks
all these sewing clues have me in stitches
7:26 pm

Chat has turned from body hair to how clean your ass is.
7:26 pm

oops...it was the cotton gin....not the sewing machine....that was Elias Howe, i think....
7:26 pm

if i'm following the thread correctly that is
7:26 pm

Less controversial than this time yesterday.
7:27 pm

that was just awful yesterday
7:29 pm

Sort of a compound Hurshy. Lynxxx clued it as ending in the old Rolling Stones album, Get Your ********* Out. if you can fill that in, (random number of stars there) you've got it.
7:29 pm
MollyL
I'm more than sure that we have not heard the last of the "it's all about me" poster.
7:29 pm
origami
Or her multiple personalities
7:30 pm
rururocks
they'll be back.. with a new alias.. we should be ready for an orphaned lesbian or something like that
7:30 pm
Lizlin
Having looked back in the chat when I woke up, there were several more appearances.
7:30 pm
harpjane
I think just ignoring her/them is the right tactic
7:30 pm
Lizlin
Certainly not feeding :)
7:30 pm
harpjane
encourage her to go to my profile and figure out my email address. I'll take the heat.
7:30 pm
MollyL
I agree Harp. Especially since it/her/whatever seems to hate being ignored.
7:31 pm
Lizlin
Hate seems to be her focal word.
7:31 pm
rururocks
not necessary harp.. we should ignore the trolls
7:31 pm
origami
Egads - I'm a pretty tolerant person, but the grandparent/cat comparisons were too much for me
7:32 pm
hurshy
took googling and morewording combined but i got there
7:32 pm
MollyL
I'm still kind of laughing that there were people here who really believed that was some teenager who was into a game like this.
7:33 pm
Lizlin
And seemed to complete the grids so quickly with no clues!
7:33 pm
MollyL
Yeah, that too Liz. The posers often have no clue.
7:34 pm
rururocks
I was onto he/she/it right from the start
7:34 pm
Lizlin
Do people still have to pay to register on the site - for clues etc?
7:35 pm
hurshy
we've had actual tweens and teens play before
7:35 pm
rururocks
yes.. $15-16 bucks
7:35 pm
hurshy
it's not unheard of
7:35 pm
hurshy
my old pal bex
7:35 pm

My friend's son played for a while - similar age but soon got fed up with it.
7:35 pm
rururocks
this was no teenager hurshy
7:35 pm
hurshy
i know, i'm just saying
7:36 pm
Lizlin
Wow! So she / he paid at least 3 times - must have money to burn.
7:36 pm
origami
Now I feel laughed at :D I do believe she is a teenager. She certainly sounded and acted like one.
7:36 pm
hurshy
i visited bex in newcastle, her mom made spaghetti for tea and we played monopoly
7:36 pm
origami
That's a good point Liz
7:37 pm
Lizlin
Some of what she said sounded like a teenager but definitely got it wrong at times.
7:37 pm
rururocks
Hence the reason for Dr. God
7:37 pm
rururocks
Hence the reason for Dr. God's absence.. he took those proceeds to Vegas
7:37 pm
Lizlin
So actually the site must be maintained because surely if you pay, it breaks a contract if it stops.
7:38 pm
kittychan
I don't think a proper teenager looking for respect and attention would have been so keen to announce that the bus was there etc.

Something I just read on TO's profile. That the internet has created a sadists' playground. I liked the wording and think it's funny to describe this chog that way.
7:45 pm
Lizlin
Just read the profile :)
7:45 pm

there are some really screwed up people on the internet... people that should find other things to do with their lives. People here are mostly nice and easy to get a long with
7:46 pm
