aha the chat is finally working. howdy babble buds. i need some shoulders tonight

12:14 am

fo 7

12:15 am

hello do -- *shoulder is here*

i just got back from the hospital. thought my 34 yr old son was having a stroke

12:15 am

eek

12:15 am

everything ok adhd?

12:15 am

whoa, Do -- scary! Is he ok?

thank G it wasn't. he's got an enlarged heart, super high blood pressure and he keeps passing out

12:15 am

oh Do .... how scary. will be be okay?

12:16 am

oh geez, that doesn't sound good

12:16 am

((ADHD))

tests upon tests. he's home now and will see a specialist tomorrow. high cholesterol, high BP

12:16 am

did you know all that already adhd? or justfound out all that tonight

he had what they thought wasa a heart attack last year, but he's been doing well for over a year

12:16 am

it's been 6 months today that my hub's son died from that exact thing - enlarged left ventricle

12:16 am

he was 32

knew about the enloarged heart, but everything else has been under control... until now

oh wow helen...

12:18 am

same here adhd - he had a 'scare' about 3-4 years ago - then started to work out, lost weight, ate right, never cheated, but there's nothing to be done once it's enlarged

12:18 am

how awful, helen

we called the ambulance a week ago cuz he was passing out from severe vertigo (new)... violent vomiting... fluid in his inner ears that won't clear up

did he have any other symptoms helen?

12:18 am

adhd - it's kinda freaky this is happening to you, i send you well wishes and healing thoughts

my dad had his first attack at 33

thank you so much helen

Clues are up!

i hate to see him like this.... he's my adhd kid and i'm used to him bouncing off walls

tx lickety

12:20 am

he was taking bp meds, it was under control - nope, just one evening, he felt tired & sluggish, went to bed early & he had a 'heart attack' at 10pm, his partner called 911, but it was already too late - no warning

12:20 am

my dad had his first at 36 and was gone by 44

we'll know more this week... fingers crossed...

12:20 am

Thanks Lickety!!! Hey, (((ADHD))) So sorry.

12:21 am

adhd - i'm sure his adhd isn't helping, the more he takes it easy, the better off he'll be

omg hk... my son is complaining of fatigue, heaviness in his chest, tired and sluggish, with vertigo and vomiting and a general feeling of "I just do't feel right"

12:21 am

YAY Lickety!!!!

12:21 am

ty LIckety

wow huga... hope he had nothing hereditary

12:21 am

{{{{{{{Do and Helen}}}}}}}

12:21 am

My fingers are crossed too, ADHD.

12:21 am

that's the thing with young people, it's hard to slow them down (cause they're bullet-proof, dontcha know?)

my son is having ahard time controlling his lipids, but it's genetic (not from me, from my dad)

12:22 am

he had an enlarged heart, and apparently a hole from having scarlet fever as a child

12:22 am

Thanks yet again, Lickety!

12:22 am

I remember it well, HK!

yep... bulletproof... excellent word

12:22 am

funny that this came up, it was 30 yrs ago today, since the last time I saw him

my dad too huga, but he survived it. had a massive MI 5 years ago, bipass, but he's just not the same and we're expecting to get the phone call any time.

12:23 am

stid - ty, you are always comforting :)

wow. i'm so glad i came here when i got back. you guys are so great to "dump" on

12:23 am

{{{{{ hugabugs }}}}}

12:23 am

{{{Hugs}}} :...( sad when people die suddenly like that. My granny never got over her dad's sudden death

12:24 am

He died 4 months (to the day) before my wedding

aw huga. i'm so sorry. it must seem like yesterday tho. i lost my mom 12 years ago , way too young too, and it seems like i just talked to her yesterday

12:24 am

Hi everybody. Wow, looks like I peeked in at a godd time

12:25 am

Hi Nef!

12:25 am

hi, Nef

12:25 am

funny, i purposely stayed off the chat today cause it's been such a sad day for me, but here we are - right on topic

aw.. my mama was trying to make it to see my son get married, but died 2 weeks to the day before... can't imagine it being my wedding... you poor dear

12:25 am

that was supposed to be "good"

12:25 am

I wish he would have had a chance to meet his granddaughters, and I wish I had gotten to know him as an adult.

on a lighter note... letttttttttt's BABBLE!!! like my EYEglasses?

12:26 am

hi Nef -- it's a good time for you to be here.

brb... thirsty... missed dinner and now would be a good time for chocolate.

12:26 am

Hi Nef

12:26 am

{{{{Hugs, HK and ADHD}}}}}

12:26 am

love the eye glasses, DO

12:26 am

ty nef

12:27 am

I changed my icon back to my dog Sterling with his BCGs (Birth Control Glasses, a Babbler told me they called them in the service)

12:27 am

very good eye glasses, DoDo!

12:27 am

*thump* --- that was me crashing into the keyboard -- goodnight all :)

12:27 am

Niters Nan

12:27 am

I think a quote from Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon is very appropriate for us --- "Misery shared is lessened, Joy shared is multiplied"

12:28 am

since caring for post-op surgical heart patients has been my specialty for 34+ years; if any of you need to talk sometime; let me know

12:28 am

Hi GW... how appropriate

12:28 am

Adorable, relarion

12:28 am

good nite nan

12:28 am

night nan -- I'm crashing soon too

12:28 am

that's nice gw

Hey Sprite

12:29 am

Woulf, you remember the most amazing, wonderful things!

12:30 am

eeeeeks another K-grid. But the pain is softened by finding you all here... and Woulf *hug*

12:31 am

thanks stid :-) -- though it isn't too hard to forget my doppleganger's writings (though I believe he is the older, so I guess I am the 'ganger)

12:31 am

aww, shucks, sprite *drags toe in dirt* {*Hug*}

12:32 am

hi all, late flip!

12:32 am

lol Woulf, was I a bit invisible? Hugs for you and yours, how are you all doing there?

12:33 am

off to the penalty box, Nef! I think there are still some goodies there though... ;)

12:33 am

And that's one big OOPSIE for Nef!! ROFL 8-D

12:34 am

Now you see why I try to stay out of chat late at night <blush>

12:34 am

already had it, Nef ;)

12:34 am

We are doing pretty good, sprite

12:34 am

Nef, get Babble Expert!

12:34 am

i'm gonna close up shop here, it was good to chat

12:34 am

bye, helen

12:34 am

good nite everyone, i'll be keeping you in my thoughts adhd

night helen... tx for the hugs :)

12:35 am

(((HK))) Take care.

12:35 am

no need to blush, Nef -- just stand proud and stick out your tongue at those who mock you!

12:35 am

fare well, helen

12:35 am

'night HK, good to see you again

12:35 am

with babble expert it cannot happen that easily, Nef, perhaps it is worth a try? Would be nice ot have you in the chat more often :)

12:35 am

farewell, hk

12:35 am

{{{helen}}} sweet dreams

12:35 am

how does one get babble expert?

12:35 am

I just got CR 8!

12:35 am

Babble Expert?

12:35 am

woohoo, stid!

12:35 am

write to lickety and he'll put you on his list and send you the link

12:35 am

what have I missed out on

12:36 am

email Lickety for Babble Expert (still beta)

what does it mean to be beta?

12:36 am

testing stage

12:36 am

night helen, hi ADHD

12:36 am

in testing stage

12:36 am

ahh, I read about that earlier and made a mental note about it, but haven't yet emailed

12:37 am

Beta = not guaranteed to have all the bugs worked out

12:37 am

beta means he's still working on it and welcomes suggestions from people using it

hi sprite!! howyabe?

12:37 am

I entered "Irak" just for fun.

12:37 am

Lickety has made a lovely browser based on internet explorer with some features that make things easier.... even if you don't want to use the clue list

12:37 am

If Babble Expert is his new beta; he hasn't designed it for Macs yet (and needless to say; that's what I have)

is that what beta always means?

12:37 am

Beta always means "in testing" -- there may be bugs and updates are anticipated

12:37 am

always for software, adhd

12:37 am

with computerprograms yes

i just love the new babble expert. particularly the resources. you don't have to navigate anywhere... self-contained

12:38 am

WHERE YOU GUYS AT? i'M AT 102 LEFT

12:38 am

ADHD - not good, but hanging in there. How are you? Some entries in the chat suggest that you're not ok :(

tx. i operate some pretty complex programs, but not familiar w/any web stuff

i'm as ok as a mom could be under the circumstances. my poor baby... it was so funny, cuz i brought him in and his wife stayed home w/the kids. everyone thought i was his wife (cradle robber lol)

12:40 am

Funny, AD.

12:40 am

I must have missed what is with your baby... is he ill?

she's not real good at giving sympathy (admittedly so), i was happy to be there

my baby is 34

12:41 am

emailzed! yay for lickety programs

12:41 am

lickety is wonderful

lucky more than funny... blessed with good genes (and spending a fortune in moisturizers lol)

12:42 am

is your son ill, ADHD?

lickety is our angel

12:43 am

1:06 am

Bit worried about today. I'm scoring in a cricket match and I've been up all night waiting for my family to come home from Spain and their flight was delayed. They got home at four o'clock so not worth going to bed!

1:07 am

:) Hugs, thanks.

1:07 am

1:31 am

1:32 am

ra7

1:32 am

I think Hugs found the ep7, not asked for it?

1:32 am

:o) thanks Sprite

1:33 am

I need just 2 more 7's

1:33 am

hello everyone

1:34 am

hi, loredana

1:34 am

There is a co7/36 Hugs

1:34 am

I am doing so lousy today... I have ho8, and only co7, ho7 x 2, and ra7.

1:34 am

hi loredana

1:34 am

oh..... ok, i just assumed that hugs has one of the babble versions

1:34 am

Heloow lore

1:34 am

I have all the 8's co, cr and ho

1:34 am

hi loredana, fmitch

1:35 am

Hi pink, it's how we used to play before lists came along.

1:35 am

thanks Hugs

1:35 am

nice looking grid today babblers hey hugs sprite jellen

1:35 am

and the 7's are ac, co x 3, ep, fo x 2, ho x 3, and ra

1:35 am

hi, FMitch

1:35 am

and for those not using the lists, it still is ;)

1:36 am

dont believe you sprite you never do "lousy"' lol

1:36 am

Hi Jellen. Very true sprite :), back to the grid now.

1:36 am

the only time I use the list is if I'm running out of time, and have to push it

1:36 am

lore, believe me, I am not even halfway and slowing down

1:36 am

same here, Hugs. And then I love the list ;)

1:37 am

yep, it's so handy to know exactly where it fits in alphabetically

1:38 am

yes, if you know the place and the length, you know the word soon enough

1:38 am

I always keep trying dino... and I know it is not valid in enable

1:39 am

often, I know exactly what word I've missed without even looking at the grid for it

1:39 am

I keep hoping enable with update their word list

1:39 am

exactly... it speeds things up considerably. But I am not in a hurry today

1:42 am

I get much more satisfaction doing it on my own and the help of my friends

1:42 am

I shamelessly use every clue in the chat, though ;)

1:42 am

hi, herin

1:42 am

hi lady

1:42 am

oh yes, so do I

hows it going

1:43 am

Hi lady

waves back

1:43 am

ha ha thats what my friend says

1:44 am

Found today's fish = sc5/14 and pl

1:44 am

hey infernal

1:44 am

Good for you, Hugs

1:46 am

Greek god of love is back, haven't seen him for a while :)

1:47 am

and his collegue of war, FMitch ;)

1:47 am

I'm a huge coffee drinker...but I've been cutting my coffee intake somewhat, PLUS I've been mixing half normal and half decaff together to make it. Weaning myself off without getting the caffeine headaches

1:48 am

and the temple is here today... haven't seen that one in ages

Thats a really good idea hugs, i couldnt live without my coffee

1:48 am

thanks Hugs, had not seen the temple yet

1:48 am

but not a crwth or ywis in sight

1:49 am

and the hairy no5 dolphin is a phanton today

1:49 am

there's a prefix that goes with that temple to give you a 7

I was sooo wanting fossile yesturday

1:50 am

hey herin

1:50 am

*dying to ask about temple

hey Lore

1:50 am

wow Hugs, thanks!

1:51 am

1:53 am

dr7

1:53 am

i am off to do yuky Cs cya

1:54 am

bye lore, enjoy

1:54 am

usually my c's suck so bad, but i only need 4

1:55 am

I am exactly at the halfway point now. Can't think past the pain today, it seems.

1:56 am

got the bottom row done now

r u okay sprite? i just woke up and see you have pain?

1:56 am

way to fo hugs

1:56 am

sorry go not fo

1:56 am

Ther are some very very silly words in todays grid, even by babble standards!

1:57 am

I have this speedo staring at me in the face

1:57 am

must take new medication that does not mix with my painkillers, so I am back to my old painkillers that did not really do the trick. Plus side effects from the new meds... it's been a long time since I've had this much pain.

1:57 am

i keep seeing the phantom coroner

hugs the sprite

1:58 am

and I was so sure coronair was a valid word, pink, but it is not :(

from what sprite? i'm a nosey nursey

1:58 am

thanks lady :) Hugs are great!

1:58 am

*Hugs* Sprite

1:58 am

thanks Hugs :)

1:59 am

((sprite))

1:59 am

damaged pelvic region, ADHD (don't know the english words). Delivering my babies I damaged pelvic bone and lower spine.

2:01 am

when did this happen Sprite?

you poor thing. i'm still trying to get the right cocktail for pain, i understand the frustration and the agony.

2:01 am

when did this happen Sprite?

2:01 am

i think its called the coccyx sprite

2:01 am

thanks for the hugs, Jellen :)

2:01 am

my little girl is 9 now.

epps sprite

do u think the coccyx was fractured?

2:01 am

thanks pink, that is a new word for me :D

2:02 am

and it's been going on all this time?

the coccyx is the tailbone

2:03 am

yes Hugs. Couldn't walk at all after my little one was born, can walk now with a cane. So things could be worse.

and you are so young, i'm so sorry for you.

2:03 am

and the pelvic bone, ADHD. And they say it is not fractured, 'just' damaged.

and how was this damage incurred? rapid birth? large head, small pelvic opening? do they know?

2:05 am

well, I have 2 wonderful kids and a great husband, so I have a lot to be grateful for. I have just trouble accepting I cannot do what I used to be able to... slow learner, huh? Last year total burnout and now deep into depression and exhaustion... it is about time I learn.

2:06 am

I just found the temple!

2:06 am

I've fallen into a depression too... the only thing that keeps me sane are my online games and friends

2:07 am

the longer it's taking me to find full time employment, the lower I get

poor sprite... i can soooo empathize, however, i'm much older than you. last year at this time i suffered depression (wouldn't come out of my room for months, or eat, or talk on the phone, or watch tv, just sat in the dark)..

2:07 am

when my son was born, his head was already 'set'. Don't know the english word again, sorry... you know, when the skull bones can slide over eachother to make birth easier? That did not happen with him. And there was something grown on the lower spine, that broke off giving birth to him. He had to be vacuumed out.

oh my.

2:08 am

oh my!

2:08 am

and then when my daughter was born, she did not breathe and she had to be rushed out. That damaged the pelvic bone further. Bad luck all over, but they got her breathing and that is what counts.

2:09 am

(((((Hugs))))) thank god for babble and babblers ;)

are your children healthy and well?

2:09 am

yes they are, they are healthy and wonderful

i wish i had babbling a year ago

2:10 am

How old is your son?

i'm crashing... it's after 3am.

2:10 am

it is really a great community here. You can vent and get lots of hugs, and no pity parties :)

2:11 am

my son just turned 11

2:11 am

hope you sleep well, ADHD. *hug*

2:11 am

I can alreadyt tell this is a better support group than *official* ones.

my best to yyou sprite... AND your beautiful kids!! and my heart goes out to you too huga.

2:11 am

sweet dreams ADHD... hope all goes well

it truly is jellen.

2:11 am

I agree, Jellen!

2:11 am

and you get fireworks too :)

tx huga ... nite all.

2:12 am

fireworks and movies even :)

2:12 am

Sleep well, ADHD. I'll hold you and your son in my thoughts.

2:12 am

my daughter is 11 too Sprite, but she'll be 12 in Dec.

2:12 am

No movie for me, just good old fashioned fireworks

2:12 am

same here FM

2:12 am

a little older than my eldest than. Nice age, isn't it? Can you cope with the depression and raising your kids?

2:13 am

Congrats Hugs

2:13 am

My other daughter is 28, so she's no problem at all. If there is one, it's that I don't see her as often as I'd like

2:14 am

If Britt's father would leave me alone, it would make my life much easier

2:14 am

He calls at all hours when he's drunk...

2:14 am

can't he let you go or does he keep pestering you?

2:15 am

omg, that is lousy!

2:15 am

We've been separated for 9 yrs now...

2:16 am

after 3 yrs, I had a long distance relationship with a gentleman in Texas...it lasted 2 years... so I guess we split up in '03.

2:16 am

is he the father of your youngest?

2:16 am

last night, my ex called again around 11, and he dragged this up

2:16 am

yes he is... my 2nd husband

2:16 am

my god, Hugs, what a pain in the ****

2:17 am

when we were married, he said he had one thing missing in his life, and that was his own child.

2:18 am

so after much thought, I agreed to give it a go... I was 38 and didn't think there was a chance in hell, as I had had severe uterine scarring from infections

2:18 am

sure enough, I got pregnant on our first attempt

2:18 am

had Britt at 39

2:19 am

by the time she was 2, he decided it wasn't what he thought it would be, he couldn't handle the responsibilities, and didn't want to quit drinking.

2:19 am

big hugs for sprite and hugs you girls are something else be proud hold your head up and love yourself

2:19 am

I gave him the option... us or the bottle... he took the bottle and has been true to her ever since.

2:19 am

thanks lore :)

2:20 am

do away with second rate men hugs you are too good for that

2:20 am

:o) thanks lore, I keep having to remind myself of that

2:20 am

did you know... I'm a born again virgin... man free for 2 years

2:20 am

Hugs, you must be so hurt and mad as hell at that sob... and not really able to show the rage because he is Britt's father... no wonder it wears you thin

2:21 am

let the drunk love his bottle... you have a wonderful gift (your daugther) love yourself and her

2:21 am

and she adores the ground he walks on

2:21 am

better a born again virgin than making do with a second rate man... I agree with lore! You deserve the best.

2:21 am

a few months back, Britt had to write a story on her hero... she wrote about him. It broke my heart, but I couldn't let her see that

2:22 am

hey you two you got me on my soapbox ... and yes have been through the drink and abuse crap, onlyt after 53 years can i say i am on the road to loving myself and taking care of me not no broken down men

2:22 am

he has never ever asked for visitation.... some times it's 3 to 6 months before she hears from him

2:22 am

isn't that always so? Kids are so loyal. Can you vent your feelings somewhere, Hugs? Keeping it in because you don't want to put that stress on your kid is so hard.

2:23 am

he never deserved you and he does not deserve your daughter, nor her love... really!

2:23 am

I try to vent with my mother as the sounding board, but it always turns around to her complaining about her ex husband

2:24 am

yay lore! Good for you, hun, and thanks for sharing.

2:24 am

*wraps arms around Huga* Honey, I've been reading. And I have something to say very quickly as I was just stopping by. I know your pain, I've been there, *still* there as a matter of fact, but I take comfort in the fact that my daughter now sees that her father isn't what she thought he was and she is coming around.

2:24 am

I am here for you, doll. Anytime

2:25 am

my oldest daughter hasn't seen that about her father. and I'm so afraid that Britt won't see it either

2:25 am

It just takes a bit of time.

2:26 am

my first husband was a gambler, lost the house, the car, and left me up to my ying yang in debt. Rachelle was 3.

2:26 am

Everyday I look in the mirror trying to see that Big L across my forehead. ;o)

2:26 am

jeezzz Hugs, you've had your share of ugliness! *hugs Hugs*

hi everyone i am reading this, i dont know what to say other than hugs

2:26 am

Honestly. People (I say people, because women are just as guilty as men), always manage to do something spectacularly stupid in front of their children which leaves them questioning. And unfortunately, you have to be the one to not only answer, but smooth out the edges.

2:28 am

no way, Hugs. No f****ing way. The only L that should be there is the L of Love. Be proud of yourself, you are a hero.

2:28 am

I know my luck with men all stems from my low self-esteem....

2:28 am

Huga...you're gorgeous!!!!

2:29 am

my father walked out on his family he left his two kids by themselves while my mum was at work (I was 5) his ladyfriend picked him up in the drive, he never came back, i knew what my father was i still loved him..... my mother reared us two... i love my mother she is my rock..... hugs can you read between the lines here. Your a special lady just like my mum

Hug the only losser stamp on anyones head is those creeps that treated you badly.If i had my way, id arse kick ever single man that treated good women badly n that goes for the reverse to

2:29 am

thank you ladies... I really needed to let off some steam

2:29 am

And you're *my* hero.......

2:30 am

Hugs.... hun, don't make the mistake to make that a judgement about yourself. Your low self-esteem stems from something as well. And getting as far as you did, against all pain and hurt, is a sign of courage and strength. Be proud of yourself.

2:30 am

F.L.Y., huga...

2:30 am

Finally. Love. Yourself.

2:31 am

I'm overweight, have been as far back as maybe 11 or 12... and as I grew older, I just felt less than those without that problem

2:32 am

anytime you need to, we'll be here, Hugs. And my email is in my profile, if you feel like ranting and raving about that sob without having to worry about your daughter noticing. And I am really overweight too.

2:32 am

Me too

2:32 am

I need to find a way to lose 60 pounds very quickly

2:33 am

if you find it, let me know

2:33 am

I just might, huga

2:33 am

I just night.

2:33 am

it's such a vicious circle... the doc says do exercise, but I'm too tired and get puffed out just going up and down the stairs

I am probably the 'baby' of this group but i was raised by 2 loving people that are still together after 40years i went out with a complete S.O.B and it has taken 3/4 years to undo 3 years of his damage. I have come to the conclusion my weight wont change as of the stupid drugs needed to stop my brain having a holiday so i went, meh feck it, im going to eat healthy and i am, I also tossed out 5 large garbag bags of clothes that made me feel bad.

Hugs do swimming really good for you. so is yoga, basic class, and a good instructor will tell you 'if you cant do this do it this way instead' and if they dont walk out the class and complain. i have before

2:35 am

I love swimming, but you have to wear a swimsuit, and I can't stand the thought of anyone seeing me in one of those.

hugs mmmm yoga?

2:35 am

I need my own private pool

2:36 am

*hugs everyone* And with that I must away. My body is trying to play catchup on the whole 96 hours debacle last week.

2:36 am

bye, Jade

i heard this lady that walked about her washing line and lost weight. Seriously though if the thought of showing off skin and being uncomfortable in public you can rent yoga dvds

2:37 am

goodnight Jade and thanks

2:37 am

*hugs Jade* thanks for reaching out, and good night!

Jade go to sleep now : )

2:37 am

goodnight. *hugs huga tight*

2:37 am

hugs Jade back

2:37 am

I'm going, I'm going....sheesh.....*yawn* *poof*

Hugs seriously the only person that can love you is you, pick a body part you do like, um even if its a little to and think, i like this about myself and work on it from there

2:39 am

I like my eyes... I think I have nice eyes

2:39 am

perhaps walking, Hugs? And anyway, it all starts with trying to feel better with yourself. I am fat, but my husband thinks I am the sexiest thing on this earth. What I mean is, it is all about how you feel about yourself. You are great.

See there you go, I like my boobs and will say i am having a fantastic boob day and ill tell all and sundry

2:40 am

YAY! Good place to start then... love your eyes. This may sound real stupid, but I couldn't find anything ok about myself for ages and a book that really helped me was Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life.

2:40 am

I actually have started walking a bit. Not far, but it's a start. I had a stupid ingrown toenail for about a year, and finally had it removed at the beginning of April. It's a lot easier to walk now

2:41 am

Actually, I had great boobs.. a little droopy now, but still

I started to read Bob Greens Better life diet and have tried to take into my head things that are needed to change

2:41 am

wonderful, Hugs! Don't bring yourself down by saying 'not far, but...'. You have started walking. That is really great.

2:41 am

My docs are always after me to start walking--helps the mood as well as weight.

Hugs, i am a 16 D and today i am wearing a half cup padded bra woot woot

2:42 am

Even I do some walking, with the cane. Every step is one step that counts :)

Sprite has that cane got a name?

2:43 am

not really, it is a black one and I always say it is kinky :)

2:43 am

I've got a temp position where I work 5.5 hrs, 3 times a week. During my afternoon coffee breaks, I take the mail and walk it over to the mailbox about a block away

2:44 am

there a go... Sprite and her kinky kane!

ha ha sprite

2:44 am

yay! That is actually very good, hugs, better 3 short walks each week than one big one!

Hugs my mum has finally admitted that i may never have a full time job again but shes happy if i am and i am happy doing the volunteer stuff

2:46 am

I had a job where I was Office/Finance Manager of a branch office. I had been there for 21 years, and they let me go because I didn't have any proper accrediation in accounting

pfft there loss

2:46 am

after they reclassified all the finance positions across the board

2:46 am

it is not the job or anything else that makes you worth something... it is the simple fact that you are you, very unique and worth the very best this life can offer.

2:47 am

i second that Sprite!!!! still havent got all my Cs lol

2:47 am

sh*t, that must have hurt too, Hugs. But I am with lady, it is their loss.

2:47 am

BUT, it was the one place were I was completely confident. I knew that business inside and out. I was THE go to person. I trained new managers coming in... I knew the computer program from every little table... it was my domain

2:48 am

I don't think I have found another word since this topic came on, lol, lore. Words can wait ;)

2:48 am

I haven't either... and I think this is the most I've talked in ages and ages

2:49 am

a tough blow, Hugs, really. Must have felt like rejection all over again. They are totally stupid to have let go someone like you.

I have decided that i want a new week right now, first my friends little bro dieing and then my friends neighbours best mate was killed in the train wreck yesturday I have decided to grab life by the horns and stop being its door matt. Oh and on another note i have porn boobs happening, i am lieing down and they arent

2:50 am

Talking is good, I think, Hugs. Real sh*tty things are better shared. Even if you have to handle them yourself, there is no reason to handle them alone... and plenty reasons not to!

2:50 am

I thought I'd work there till I retired. I knew every worker, their wives and kids, their birthdays, some of the kids birthdays, anniversaries, etc. These people were my extended family

Hugs Companys always let the best workers go its stupid and i agree with sprite

2:51 am

Hugs have you ever thought that after the events at your old job your time there was spent and that another door would open for you where you could have more time for yourself and a lot less stress

2:51 am

you will be sorely missed there, Hugs, even if they don't admit it.

2:52 am

Oh, I'm sure they do... and I miss them all too. Any time I see one of the trucks from their fleet, I get a little pang in my heart

2:53 am

I bet. Try feeling you deserve better than that, and something better will find you. You are so worth it.

2:53 am

it's funny, I haven't been there, it'll be 2 yrs on Thursday, yet when I talk about the business to other people, I still say "we do this and we do that"

Hugs thats a pretty standard response. Have you thought about talking to someone professionaly? even if it is for a short time

Hugs thats a pretty standard response. Have you thought about talking to someone professionaly? even if it is for a short time

2:54 am

that means you are still in mourning over the loss, Hugs. Not strange at all.

opps

2:55 am

hugs your life sounds so much like mine.... the stories the same with work... i got shingles last Sept kept going to work for a month then collapsed through exhaustion ... went home with owners blessings ... had to take them to court for my money ... they said i walked out!!

2:55 am

actually, when I went to the doc's yesterday, we decided that some counselling would be helpful.

thats a good thing

2:56 am

oh gawd Lore

2:56 am

I really think it will be helpful, Hugs, though probably not easy. Good for you!

2:56 am

Counselling can be very helpful.

grr lore bad company

2:56 am

also a stupid company, lore. *hugs*

2:56 am

all the things you are saying have happened to me want you to know i have got through it and we will all help you too hugs

2:57 am

I really enjoy the place where I'm temping now. The controller is awestruck with my abilities. It's just too bad that I can't afford to live on that little bit.

2:58 am

have faith, Hugs. Follow your bliss and things will work out fine. There are always more solutions than we can think up ourselves.

2:58 am

no worries sprite herin hugs because i was devastated as this person was meant to be a friend and i was helping him out but there you go i have come so far in the last 8months and can only tell you hugs the things i felt

2:59 am

for about a week now, I've been weepy. Could cry at any given time, and feeling so oppressed. Just talking tonight seems to have lifted a bunch of weight off my chest... (and no, the boobies are still drooping!!)

2:59 am

betrayal hurts really bad, lore. Good for you to take them to court and stand up for yourself.

2:59 am

Hugs if that drunk keeps annoying you we will send herin over to kick his butt hey herin.. I always say to myself be happy try to look on the brighter side of life no matter what as there are people worse off than us

Hugs lay down squish your boobs together and thing 'PORN BOOBS;

3:00 am

after having kids, boobies are supposed to droop a bit, Hugs. My husband says he loves the feel of them, they are softer now ;)

Yep

norc is a wod

word

3:01 am

herin... I have to pull them up from the sides if I lie down... lol

thats when you do the best 'porn boob' impersonation

3:01 am

it is true that there are always people worse off than us, but take your pain seriously, Hugs. If you're hurt you're hurt and each emotion demands attention and care.

3:02 am

so is hork, lady. Won't take though :(

3:02 am

I love you girls... you make me feel so loved, and cared for and belonging

3:02 am

great minds and all that, I was trying to get halfway before making a start on upstairs today !

4:04 am

Upstairs is probably bracing itself.

I did just dash up and strip the bed, think I heard some groans of 'at last' !!

Did you tell em to do it themselfs Krays>

4:06 am

But it's lovely when you get the weather to hang laundry outside.

4:07 am

No herin, only our bed, kids do it themselves anyway !

Oh, lovely. I've never seen the show live - seen snippets on TV, of course. You'll come out dancing yourself!

I had tickets for my 19th birthday

4:51 am

well done pink

4:51 am

hello granny

4:51 am

hey atalante

4:52 am

Hello everyone - especially METAL !!!!long time no see

4:52 am

hi lynxxx

Hi everyone

I am a bad hostest

lynxxxie! it's good to be back Babbling again. **shivers thinking of another computer meltdown**

Yeps Metal that sounds bad

4:54 am

hey metal thanks for naming your kitten after me lol

4:54 am

hi lynx :)

4:54 am

*wonderful* kitten names

yup... fan on power supply quit working (bearings locked up) so fan didn't work so power supply massively overheated and died dead as it could die

yvw lore

4:54 am

Hi Granny - how's the grid tonite?

4:55 am

i've got 2 - just started LOL

eppps times a hundred

4:56 am

1 more than me though!

ty Ata, Spot is called that because of the reasons cited in my profile but also because my bf vetoed Holstein

4:56 am

LOL! holstein would have been fab :) but "Myth" is just wondeful wonderful

but, since He and I are STAR TREK geeks, Spot (Commander Data's cat), Lore and Data worked well as names

Ha ha

Metal gone to think geek and checked that out on startrek toys?

I have individual pictures of each one... maybe I need to post them somewhere online

4:57 am

Ode to Spot. fabulous

4:57 am

its 6 am now, will probably be here till 6 pm since its 236 needed

Spot's a wonderful mama too... we were worried since she was a feral cat but she's been great

She was probably someones pet Metal that didnt care for her

no I haven't herin but I will

perhaps she was a pet at some earlier time... but she was very wild and skittish when we first started feeding her

Metal thinkgeek has startrek toys and its all very geekie and i love it

5:03 am

poor babe, well I'm glad she found you, metal!

cool, I'll mention it to bf when he gets home from work in a couple of hours

5:04 am

why dont i show up as "online"?? because i use "desktop" and dont log in or out?? any ideas?

so are we Ata. We were grieving over Rock's death and having this one (and her subdivisions) to care for has meant a great deal to us. No critter will ever replace Rock, but Spot and the clowder have their own special place in our hearts now

5:05 am

you can't see yourself Granny

Poor Rock Metal

5:05 am

but sometime i do lynx! ?

5:05 am

I'm sure ... and wow, kittens must have been a surprise! (a gorgeous one!)

Speeking of geekie have a trible Metal

5:06 am

I think it may have changed Granny - the Online tab - never been able to see self in Friends

5:07 am

PS I can see you Granny

Good morning carlee.

5:53 am

Hello, carlee.

5:54 am

i see the re combo is back...that pretty much just ruined my day

Hey carlee

5:54 am

yeah, chat can get intertwined sometimes, lol. I am reading James Patterson too now, and I love him as well.

they have come to spoil my tv

5:54 am

James Patterson is fun

5:54 am

you'll *love* "The Lake House"

5:55 am

oooh me too sprite

Have you read Maximum Ride By James Patterson its a teen sci fi

5:55 am

I read 1st to die, and now I am reading Alex Cross.

5:55 am

No too many re words and no really weird ones.

5:55 am

Haz - Do you like the pic in my icon of my friend's dog Lucie's moment of bliss? I thought of you when he sent it to me.

5:55 am

oh *gorgeous* Jac!

5:55 am

not yet, lady, just started on him.

5:55 am

1 re word is too many haz

5:56 am

awwww adorable Jac

5:56 am

i've read all his books. waiting for the 6th in the series!! Love Cross series.

It is a teen fiction it would be a bit to old for your kids

5:56 am

Lucie is beautiful!

5:56 am

also so well written, good language, it is such a pleasure to read. And exciting, lol.

5:56 am

you must read the lake house, sprite, it has things similar to sprites in :)

5:56 am

I've read a lot of the Patterson books, but I think the Cross ones are the best. I can't keep up with them, there's so many. Has anyone read the Alex Macall Smith books which take place in Botswana. They're about a lady detective

5:57 am

Haz - don't let Spangle hear you say that! LOL

5:57 am

oh yes bichon.....have latest to read now.

5:57 am

I must recommend looking at this pic for anyone who's got a dog: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aylaleia/ 532673629/ *giggle* know the feeling?

5:57 am

Yes, bichon, he also writes books based in Edinburgh - they're all gentle and humorous.

5:57 am

Greetings everyone!!!!!

5:57 am

*writes down author*

5:58 am

hey movie my man! Wzzp?

5:58 am

I've never read the Edinborough books. Are they similar to the Botswana ones?

morning movieman

5:58 am

I think Spangle would agree - lovely glossy coat.

5:58 am

Hello Movieman!

5:58 am

Speaking of authors, has anyone heard of Shaun Hutson?

5:58 am

hi movieman

5:58 am

hi MM

5:58 am

don't think so, movieman, what does he write?

5:59 am

brrrrr scary books

5:59 am

Hello, Movieman.

Ata is that your friends puppy>

5:59 am

No, they're completely different. Some are written about Isabel Dalhousie, a kind of philosopher, others are based on his series in the Scotsman newspaper about a fictional address called 44 Scotland Street - it features stories about the various inhabitants. I have been know to laugh out loud at some of their adventures.

ooohhhh! the whole gang is here :))

5:59 am

Urban thrillers mostly, Sprite, with the occasional horror thrown in for good measure

6:00 am

yup, he's growing up so quickly! 10 weeks old now!

6:00 am

sounds good, Haz! Errr movieman... how horror? Gory horror?

6:00 am

bichon - I love the slow pace of the Botswana ones, although they're not to everyone's taste. I gave my husband one to read on holiday and he kept waiting for some action!

6:00 am

I shall look out for those Scotland Street books tomorrow ready for my holiday in Westward Ho! next week.

6:00 am

yay mrP *hug*

6:01 am

I love her insightfulness.

6:01 am

Reasonably gory, Sprite, but they may be too gory for some people's tastes......

6:01 am

Let me get the titles for you, Jacula.

Very cute puppy

6:01 am

Thanks, Haz. That would be helpful.

6:01 am

I don't really like gory. I love thrillers though.

6:02 am

Good morning Babble Team. MrP---I hope you are doing well and being a patient patient.

6:02 am

I love anything Alexander McCall Smith writes! I just got the newest Botswana book.

6:02 am

lol @ patient patient

6:02 am

Mr. Hutson has his own website if anyone is interested.....www.shaunhutson.com/

6:02 am

and hi Scrabbler

6:02 am

6:10 am

Scrabbler - glad Callie is on the mend. What stories did the cats and dogs tell you?

6:10 am

Oh good, it's always comforting when others share your opinions on books. I sometimes hesitate in case others don't enjoy them.

6:11 am

OH GOD YES scrabbler...

6:11 am

Just starting 2nd mug of tea thanks, Scrabbler.

In our village there is a great cat rescue organization called the Ten Lives Club, so they have adoptees at various places in town, including the vet's. There are kitten brothers, maybe 10 wks old and so DAMN cute. One is orange and one is grey, and they have to be adopted together. The staff put mini-bandanas on them. I just noodged them up yesterday.

6:15 am

yessssss carlee! With a slice of lemon in the neck of the bottle.

6:15 am

yeap...and you stick a lime wedge down the neck of the bottle...is a very pale beer..nice flavour...very " yuppie" beer

6:15 am

lime

6:16 am

true Ragalla, lime it is

6:16 am

Has anybody else read 'The Pi5/12 shop on the left bank' by T E Cathcart. It's a factual book, based around the author's experiences of buying a pi5/12from a pi5/12 shop in Paris (hence the left bank). He goes into amazing detail about how the instruments are constructed, their history etc. It's technical but so interesting - and of course there's the bonus of it being set in Paris.

6:16 am

In Amsterdam, as sprite will testify, there is a Cat Boat (rescue centre afloat).

Scrabbler youll end up taking them home if your not careful

6:16 am

Haz - No, I haven't.

6:16 am

true Jac

6:16 am

when we got our puppy it was all i could do to take just one of them!

6:16 am

brb

6:17 am

unless u IN mexico..then lemon is lime and lime is lemon...go figure...speaking of which I have been asked to go play soccer tomorrow the world against the "mexicas" where I used to have a work contract...

6:17 am

oops mexicans...

6:17 am

Add it to your list, Jacula!

6:17 am

But the rabbits might harm the cats or the cats could hurt the rabbits.

6:17 am

if anyone likes random factual books - Victoria Finlay's books on colours and gemstones are just amazing

6:17 am

Will do, Haz.

6:17 am

The Dante Club, by Matthew Pearl--great book

6:18 am

you might need another week off, Jac :D

That is true maybe you could spread the word

6:18 am

6:18 am

Good morning, Aloy, Nono, petemcb, and anyone else doing this dandy grid!

Morning scarlet

9:06 am

:-)

9:07 am

hi there, Scarlet! Missed you the past couple of days.. did you get the message that someone was concerned about you and wanted you to email?

9:08 am

No, Aloy. I haven't been chatting at all... middle sister had some pretty serious surgery on Monday, and I've been taking out my nervousness on gardening, pulling weeds, clearing sidewalk parameters to lay down some mulch... etc.... bending to nature's will instead of twirling in my own sadness... but, thank you very much. Who was asking?

9:09 am

ooh, Scarlet.. hope the surgery went well... sorry your sister has to go through this.. let me look.. be right back..

hi scarlet

9:10 am

Thank you, Aloy. You are very kind, and I appreciate your concern. Hi, there, greenbayladi!!

hope sister is doing well now scarlet

9:10 am

*pops in just in time* heya scarlet -- hope all is going well...any updates on your sisters condition?

9:10 am

Morning Scarlet. I've had my no** in the grid and did not know you were here. I hope your sister is recuperating nicely.

9:11 am

Thank you, Nono... as well as can be expected. Hi, EvaNadine. No updates yet, but she is recovering slowly... Thank you Merk... you are all so wonderful!

9:12 am

That's what friends are for.

9:12 am

The positive thing is that it is NOT the C-word.. and we are so shakily relieved...

that is a definitely a good thing scarlet

9:15 am

The condition was diagnosed as fistulas from the bowel to the outside of her body... very, very agonizing... now, she has had the surgery to remove all seriously eroded tissue, and her pain is extreme... all with a good prognosis for the future...

sounds very painful. what is the expected recovery time?

9:17 am

About three to six weeks... and Sitz baths when she can stand... right now, she is taking some powerful pain medications, doesn't want to eat... but is being a very good patient...

9:17 am

ac6,24; 7,36

9:17 am

found it, Scarlet... it was shdybr8, all i could remember was "spring break" lol

9:18 am

I wouldn't think "bragirl" would need any additional support.

her appitite will return when the pain starts to ease i'm sure

9:19 am

why

9:19 am

From what the doctor told her, any woman who has had a baby knows the episiotomy pain, X-10... she never had a baby, but I have... Oh, thank you so much Aloy. I will look for her, unless you have the e-mail address? Yes, Nono... I told her that, but laid down the law to at least nibble some saltines and take a sip of tea or juice. We are such a small family... I am the eldest of three girls, and they are my "babies" forever...

ac + no4,5 then the pl.

9:20 am

LOL, pete...

9:21 am

sorry, Scarlet.. I don't have her email.. she was asking if anyone had seen you lately and said she was concerned and so she wanted you to email her ..

9:21 am

"bragirl"........"support"........ rim shot.

9:21 am

thanks, scarlet.

9:21 am

bragirl, pete is being punny!

9:21 am

Hahhahhahah, pete... drumroll!!

9:21 am

ty

9:22 am

aierp

9:22 am

That is very sweet, Aloy. I will look for her. Thank you for passing it along. When do you leave for OH? Please wave to Copley when you're going by... :-)

9:25 am

does anyone know how many total words there are today?

9:25 am

236, pete

9:26 am

we are going back this evening Scarlet.. so I am rushing to finish the grid.. oops , phone call..

9:26 am

:-)! Oh, gosh... what a headlong slide into pressure, Aloy!!

9:27 am

thanks, Scarlet. Makes my 109 look a little feeble.

9:28 am

lol, keeps me hopping..

9:28 am

LOL, pete. I like the larger grids... to take my leisure and discover the well-hidden words... hard to describe the quiet elation at finding the "treasures"... LOL, I guess I'm a real BabbleAddict!

i got 343 word

9:28 am

Do you mean 343 points, greenbay?

yes

9:29 am

Keep at it, gbl... you'll find many, many more!

yes i;m sure

9:31 am

What a perfect sound I'm hearing for Babble-Digging... the Three Tenors in concert, singing Ochi tchorniye... so powerful and happy!

9:32 am

the washing machine is competing with the radio here.. much prefer the three tenors!

9:32 am

I love them... and my heart is broken about Pavarotti...

9:32 am

stuck on ta5.18.. will trade that one for another needed clue..

your are mutitasking aloy. that's good

9:33 am

oh no, Scarlet.. don't tell me .. what happened?

9:34 am

Late last year, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer... ironic... my mother adored him, and that is what she suffered...

9:34 am

LOL... I usually do the math, and THEN drive myself to the brink of madness, Aloy!! LOL

9:47 am

maybe I'll just put it in the chat log and she may see it.. it has to do with Black Bellied Whistling Ducks

9:47 am

Ooooh, Aloy... my very favorite aria... Nessun dorma... for you!! (Chillblains and goosebumps)

9:48 am

oooh, Scarlet, I can hear it now.. (-:

9:48 am

de5,12

waaaaaaa I'm not getting my babble fireworks!

9:48 am

hi every1

hi tez

9:50 am

Blast it all, Nono... Way to go!

9:51 am

hi greenbayladi

9:51 am

anyway, for the past week huge numbers of these BBWDucks have been flying in a pattern from SW to NE every evening around 7pm... so what? What is weird is that about a half an hour later, they fly in the reverse pattern from NE to SW.. that is not normal and we have no clue as to what is going on. We can only speculate that the fires in Lake Okeechobee have messed them up if they are headed there to spend the night.. Nono, congrats on finishing... I hope you got the video?

9:51 am

Here I am stuck on a short one again: re 5,12 ... the final one.

9:51 am

de5,12

9:52 am

de get rid of rodent

9:52 am

re + to put more grass plugs in the lawn?

9:53 am

hey how many words today?

9:53 am

huh? That's over my head, Aloy. I have the re 5 that means to put the corsage on again, but the one after that has to do with grass plugs?

ok i finally got the video

nice reward today

9:54 am

Oh duh! Wake me up, will you? I was goiing up instead of down.

now i have to go treat my cats for fleas so they will hate me the rest of the day :(

9:54 am

ah, glad you saw it Nono.. (-:

9:55 am

well, when you order a premade lawn, Merk, you order it from a *** farm... does that help?

happy babbling everyone

9:55 am

Great, Nono!! Aloy, that is very odd flight patterns... maybe it is the fires, and their senses tell them to avoid the smoke scents...

9:55 am

bye, nono.. see you next time

9:55 am

ty for not giving up on me Aloy

9:56 am

LOL, Nono... until another day, then... kisses to the puddie-kats!

9:56 am

never, Merk! But did you get the plural of that?

9:59 am

hi there all

hi jbp

9:59 am

Aloy, do you have a clue about he cr8? I've tried to extend it from the frog-speak, but no luck! LOL

10:00 am

Mine says 13+ hours left, bunny.

OK, it switched back, was getting scared, still have 22 to go.

10:03 am

Fireworks

10:03 am

Way to go, Merk!! Well done.

Lol, now every time I see one of em hacking, I'm gonna think of that.

10:14 am

I always thought that was "harf", jbp! lol

10:14 am

at least for my guys

10:14 am

gals.

10:15 am

Hahahhaha .... glad we have that straightened out, jbp!!

10:19 am

10:20 am

LOL! Leave it to you, EvaN!! :-)

10:20 am

indeed, eva

10:20 am

i feel the same way about "palindrome" a word like that should BE one

I was in the gifted program in school and my grammar teacher was a nut job, loved her, but really whacko. We had to spell out words when speaking in sentences on Friday if there were more than 6 letters in them.

10:21 am

"Able was I, ere I saw Elba"!\

10:22 am

i agree jbp! and really, phonetic should be spelled the way it sounds!

10:22 am

has any1 got any of the 8 letter words y if so plz plzzzz help me

10:22 am

So should "phone"

10:22 am

there's an online game called Kingdom of Loathing, and one of the levels is all in really silly palindromes

co 8 is plural of co 7 - to rust or chemically wear away

10:23 am

Cooling off from the heat, Haz, or gardening?

11:05 am

HI, peri! How did it go?

11:05 am

Hello periwinkle.

From the heat - it's probably nothing compared to what you're used to, but it is warm.

11:05 am

Very hot for gardening today. I'm leaving it until later.

11:05 am

I think it went well. The position is for pet food demonstrator and the product is Natures Variety.

11:06 am

We have been hitting the high 70s and low 80s lately... unseasonably warm for the first week in June. Good news there, peri!

11:06 am

It would only be 2-3 days a week and the pay is not as high as I would like it to be but will go higher. Also got a free bag of cat food for Zoe-Anne.

11:06 am

So...you taste a big spoonful, lick your lips and say YUMMMM!

11:06 am

I should hear back from her by the beginning of next week.

We should hit 90 today, but for June, that's pretty mild. I'm happy.

11:55 am

Right, I'd better drag myself into the kitchen to get the meal underway. As for smoked salmon, does the rest of it being so good for you not outweigh the salt problem? It's delicious anyway, enjoy!

3:48 pm

hi Jellen

3:51 pm

hello magzel and jellen :)

3:51 pm

ac 6/24 clue, please?

3:52 pm

Hi folks, not playing today, just testing out my new laptop!!

hello mag and jellen

3:52 pm

New laptop? Congrats

hello liz and congrats on the new laptop

3:52 pm

ac plus lymph **** and pleural

3:52 pm

ac6.24 = ac+lymph ****

3:52 pm

Right, it works fine. Hi Jayr!

3:53 pm

ty. Not in my vocab, Magzel and Granny

3:53 pm

you know, re: the troll situation, i'd hate to make babble only accessible if you pay, but maybe the chat can only be available for pros. it's just silly that we have to e mail dr. g every time.

3:53 pm

and everyone, of course

3:53 pm

thanks jean

yw mag

3:54 pm

ch 5/14, i think it's the 3rd one.

3:54 pm

It would be sad to make chat only pro. It's how I got hooked, everone was so kind.

singing group in church mag?

3:54 pm

i know, but if there's no selective mute, i'm not sure how else to solve the problem

3:54 pm

Yes, I've just joined, and everyone has been very supportive. I hope to make myself useful someday.

3:55 pm

If we could really NOT get engaged with them, they'd give it up. But it's sooooo tempting!

3:55 pm

maybe access by age if not pro

3:55 pm

I like to welcome new players. Everyone has been great to me, too

3:55 pm

hello again

3:55 pm

We have some decent players who are young

some of them have some real hangtime though and it is difficult to wait them out

3:56 pm

I'm on holiday in the Lake District just now, so will only be in and out for the next few days (OK Jayr, my life's a holiday isn't it!!)

3:56 pm

have that one espirt

if it's the one above it's like the sound a fan makes only C starts the word instead of w

3:57 pm

also have the musical one, and the bug sound and the one ending in o

but I don't think blocking non-pros is the answer...most of us started as non-pro and got sucked in by the helpful players using the chat.

3:58 pm

me too, that's how i started, but it just seems silly that we have only one person who can solve this problem for us

3:58 pm

ignoring is the best solution... *resolves to be more resolute in the future...*

3:58 pm

yes, that would be the best solution

I wish we could click on their username and block the person themselves.

3:58 pm

ch 5/14, first?

3:59 pm

jean, i'm so slow. it was the first one you gave a clue for, thanks

3:59 pm

right, i've been on other sites that do that

3:59 pm

LOL sherb, write that out 50 times.

3:59 pm

Hi FM

3:59 pm

Evening Liz

hello liz

4:00 pm

Hi FMitch

4:00 pm

And Nonnie

4:00 pm

LOL... I always think I can shame them into giving up, or at least have some fun at their expense... but most of them are so thick, or so self-absorbed that they don't get it...

4:01 pm

ch 5/14 ch and makes mad, replace the last vowel with 4th vowel

4:01 pm

I think you're right, sherb

4:01 pm

i just can't stand seeing their horrible spelling and grammar. makes me crazy.

4:01 pm

Having pro status does not mean all trolls are eliminated from the equiation, ther are a few pro trolls.

4:01 pm

ty, magzel

4:02 pm

hmmm... *ponders who FM can be referring to...*

4:02 pm

Being dim here but what exactley makes someone a troll??

4:03 pm

...someone beginning with g...?

give me some words is a good example

4:03 pm

OMGBBQ THIS TALKING IN CAPS AND GENERALLY OMG UR THE SUX ...................................... .............................

why oh why would someone pay money only to be banned from the site?

4:04 pm

...or 'giv me sum wods...'

4:04 pm

<~~lightbulb switches on TY

4:04 pm

The approach is a tad more subtle but just like Chinese water torture is equally effective.

4:04 pm

I've changed my icon to a pic of where I am just now.....You Like?

4:04 pm

Trolls like to ruin chat (let alone the game) for everyone. It's how they amuse themselves.

4:05 pm

or just dominate the chat with totally inane twaddle for hours on end Jellen.

4:05 pm

It's beautiful, lizmac

beautiful liz, where?

4:06 pm

thats beautiful

4:06 pm

Stunning Liz

4:07 pm

well, if inane twaddle makes you a troll, which of us is innocent? ... ;)

ahahhaha sherb, I was thinking the same...

4:08 pm

Oh that stung sherb!

4:08 pm

Dead right Maisie!!

4:08 pm

No it's my son's dog and he's a cockerpoo, although I think he does look more like alabradoodle. He's a loveable thug.

4:08 pm

nope, every one of my words drips with wisdom and erudicity!

lol ata

4:09 pm

Just let me know if I get too inane. Sometimes that's the way the brain turns. :^)

4:09 pm

especially the sekrit cod words

4:09 pm

I have a cocker and a lab so I can imagine LOL

4:09 pm

co7/32, anyone?

I don't think erudicity is a word

4:10 pm

I'm dog sitting this weekend and looking forward to it

4:10 pm

Jellen - what your feet are when they have lots of hard spots on them

5:19 pm

oh so do i inge, i just noticed it on the box when i was making my ham n eggs for dinner

5:19 pm

cause everything happens at once at school, and feels like there's no time for anything

5:19 pm

ah but then it's followed by that horrible emptiness

5:19 pm

nope. i like empty.

5:20 pm

sitting. sitting will be nice.

5:20 pm

5:20 pm

i hated it when the kids left, esp the ones that were graduating and leaving for good

5:20 pm

i've already claimed the front seat.

5:20 pm

5:21 pm

5:21 pm

Hi hursh and Scrabs

5:21 pm

actually, the kids are fine. it's all the other extra crap that's getting me.

5:21 pm

You must be exhausted, feather. Are you at 29-30 wks now?

5:24 pm

uhoh, your baby's a quitter!

5:25 pm

ok, my goal is 50 words, lol

5:25 pm

yesterday's grid had more interesting letters

5:25 pm

yes there was a troll earlier nut

5:25 pm

ok... I am not seeing the ho6,21 that comes after the ho8

5:25 pm

ta muchly, jellen

5:25 pm

I made it past half-way!

5:25 pm

Jade, so far it is safe. And we have our resident police officer/pirate/troll rejector here---Nut

5:25 pm

i missed yesterday's grid

5:25 pm

well, was it a funny one?

5:26 pm

plural, carlee

5:26 pm

carlee...its the ho 5/12 plural

5:26 pm

what time was it in?

5:26 pm

just a plural of ho5 carlee

5:26 pm

maybe an hour & a half ago nut

5:26 pm

ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:27 pm

what's wrong, carlee?

5:27 pm

here's an example of why i'm so tired. yesterday, faculty meeting before school, regular school day in which the project we were going to do was totally screwed up by the parent volunteers and had to be re-prepared and done today, baby shower after school, quick bite to eat and work on fixing the project, then kindergarten orientation for next year's parents, then finish fixing the project. i left the house at 7:45 am, got home at 9pm.

5:27 pm

~{]P-/ arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!

5:27 pm

I had the same problem, carlee, as with ho5 I had used the other R that doesn't touch the S

5:27 pm

whoa...you looked like the troll we had earlier carlee...LOL

5:28 pm

sounds like the parents are the major obstacle, feather

5:28 pm

Too many things in one day, feather, both for you and Percival

5:28 pm

i FEEL like this grid turning me INTO a troll

5:28 pm

uh oh

5:28 pm

yes...poor lil percy!

5:28 pm

beware of the carlee monster

5:28 pm

beware of the carlee monster

5:28 pm

it comes down to if you want something done right, do it yourself. i did that, and the project went beautifully today. of course, it's our biggest project of the year, most time intensive too.

5:29 pm

5:31 pm

see you all tomorrow

5:32 pm

we turn the class into an ocean, the kids make 4 to 5 foot ocean creatures. the parent was supposed to use the overhead to trace all the creatures in preparation. she asked to do it at home, i said sure. gave CLEAR directions. my aide had to go get the creatures yesterday, (in the middle of our center time) as the parent had gone on a week long trip. we get the creatures, find out that not only are they not labelled for each kid as asked, they're not even cut apart from the huge roll of paper. AND instead of having a side A and a side B (reversed) they were all side A! talk about stress.

5:32 pm

nite peri

5:32 pm

bye, now peri

5:32 pm

ms. ten boom

5:32 pm

thank you for letting me vent!

5:32 pm

Bye Periwinkle--good job on a tough grid today

5:32 pm

co6,21 sounds like the shortform for the name corinne

5:33 pm

What a disappointment, feather.

5:33 pm

we tried to trace them on the back, but they didn't even match up in size. i ended up redoing them last night.

5:33 pm

ugh... pain feather....

5:33 pm

vent? convent?

5:33 pm

parents are so stupid

5:33 pm

Just popping in to say g'nite.......I been working away at the grid.......finished now...so am off to bed!!!

5:33 pm

disappointment isn't even close. try colossal frustration. i was almost in tears by the end. the kids were so good with trying to help tracing them, but it was a huge waste of time.

5:34 pm

bye, Flask!

5:34 pm

thanx carlee.

5:34 pm

<POMPOM TOSS> for flask..woot woot

5:34 pm

That sort of extra, definitely isn't in our budget. Just the way it is I guess.

7:27 pm

Happy dining Saphyre.

7:28 pm

oh, boy, judi, i'm right there with you. he first year is definitely the hardest. so many triggers. i spent the first year weeping just about every other day.

7:28 pm

Those are very rough times Judi. Think of the good times, and know that you're not alone.

7:28 pm

Good, someone was asking about Scarlet the other day, concerned.

7:36 pm

by the way, judi, i have a lovely photo of my dad on my dressing table. i say good morning and good night to him everyday. it helped to lessen the blow of the triggers.

7:36 pm

T-storms passing by again. I feel a drink of vodka coming on, and perhaps mosey to the front step to watch the storm over the ocean. I love t-storms.

Geesh, Lori. I'd be suffering from withdrawal if I went that long without Babble.

8:30 pm

ty ibdawger

8:30 pm

when i had my hair cut i donated it to locks of love. i recommend it to anyone planning on cutting 10 inches or more.

8:31 pm

and grammaterri1

for sure dawg, especially black people that can grow their hair long

WOW, thats a lot of hair to cut off

yw majmom

8:31 pm

it was, but worth it.

naw mine grows that long in 14 months lady

i realize it's a lot to do

8:32 pm

at first they didn't want to take mine, cuz i color it. but then they changed their mind.

but I just keep it all pinned up lol

8:32 pm

10 inches isn't as long as ya think lady, leave me with shoulder length hair everytime

brb break

This lady has alopica and she was totally bald, they tatooed eyebrows on her and they gave her this wig that was made to her head, she had a sparkle in her eye when she made her all pretty

8:36 pm

ahh, that makes me feel good inside hearing that herin.

And the best thing was they didnt turn her into plastic barbie, they just fixed her nose which she broke as a child and lazer eye surgery as she had to wear contacts which kept getting ick in her eyes (no eyelashes) she looked lovely

8:39 pm

i bet she feels good about herself now too. hopefully, that will help her with her health.

8:39 pm

lol...greetings all...i happen to pop on when gramma terri was saying 10 inches isn't as long as you think. had to review the chat as i was a tad frightened at what the topic might be!!! lol

8:40 pm

hi, Dispatch

hi everyone

8:41 pm

Hi dispatch! yeah, that would be a bit shocking to read.

8:41 pm

Hi HK!

hi lbd!

8:42 pm

8:44 pm

hi, pam

my hubby's 6 year old granddaughter voluntarily cut off 14 inches of her blond hair after a talk at her school - they put her picture in the town paper (a big, big picture!), she lives in tennessee

8:44 pm

hi dipatch, jellen, pam, herinfern, grammater

8:45 pm

you are right dawg, I just learned that, so proud of myself

8:47 pm

Hi, everyone--could someone clue the last pe 6/21? Thanks

i'm not going to be cluing, a measly 133 to go for me

well the wine stopper can be more (-ier), but the flavor can't, huh

8:50 pm

lbd--aren't the 3rd and 4th letters the same?

8:50 pm

since it's a comparative word, it would depend on what you were comparing the oakier taste to...wouldn't it?

I had the eeriest thing happen today, my grandkids were playing on my laptop today, I use the pad, but I put my wireless mouse on for them, after they went home, I went to my room to babble and my mouse kept moving all over the place, I was thinking virus or something, then saw the usb thingie and laughed, took it out and went and found my wireless mouse and put it away

8:51 pm

ooooh GT's laptop is possessed!
