lovely garden, jilli

1:44 am

I usually have my deck all decked out in flowers, but not this year (only a few) as I knew I'd not be able to take proper care of them :(

1:47 am

here, the Summer's been dry enough that the cottonwoods are dropping leaves, and the magnolia grandiflora are dropping some, too.

1:48 am

wish we could change with you dc...it's been an "un"summer here :(

1:48 am

thanks, just -- it's even lovelier this year but I'm having camera prolems

6:19 am

123

6:19 am

thanks

6:23 am

morning, all. this is going to be a very difficult week.

6:24 am

ok, I'll ask... why is it going to be difficult?

6:24 am

my ex husband's stepfather is dying. If there is no significant change in his condition by tomorrow, he will be taken off life support.

6:25 am

bad week indeed :/

6:26 am

how sad angel, i hope at least he has had a long and happy life

6:27 am

when my dad died that thought helped

6:27 am

he is 73, and is a retired minister.

6:27 am

he is 73, and is a retired minister.

6:28 am

73 seems too young to die, my dad was 83

6:28 am

My dad died at 60 of cancer - 73 is a good age

6:28 am

yesterday, he had minimal brain function and kidneys were failing.

6:29 am

60 way too young

6:30 am

far too young, I get a horrible jealousy when I see so many people older than him. Just not fair

6:41 am

we did get to spend the afternoon with two of our grandangels yesterday. Mom had to go help plan for her grandfather's funeral.

7:14 am

flog

7:16 am

ty

7:27 am

Good day Babblers. TY for that perfect clue, vcj.

7:28 am

Am I all alone here?

7:28 am

hey, scrabs! :-)

7:29 am

Hello Scrabbler! Happy Sunday

7:29 am

Good morning Une!

7:29 am

your welcome i actually didn't mean to type the word. I need keep better track of my cursor :)

7:29 am

hi all...

hello all!

7:29 am

Hi mom2

7:29 am

hey mom and TO!

7:29 am

We all make that mistake, vcj. I was joking about it being a perfect clue.

7:29 am

Hi Owl

7:30 am

I am up and down today... trying to get a little organized this morning.

7:30 am

I have to leave for work in 45 minutes but I am enjoying the smells and sights from the back deck here. I love the smell of the woods after rain.

7:31 am

started my new coupon system yesterday... we shall see if it works better than the old one.

7:31 am

Great smell!

how goes it, mom?

7:31 am

What system do you use, mom2?

7:31 am

Good TO... haven't seen you in a while. We must be on different schedules.

7:32 am

Well, a friend told me to alphabetize and use small envelopes, which actually fit into my old coupon organizer... so we shall see.

no longer on during the workday.

7:32 am

It just seems like no matter what I do I am still the woman riffling through coupons in the aisle, LOL.

7:33 am

Why TO? Did work clamp down on websites? Or are you just busy?

7:33 am

I just use a big envelope, review them before shopping, then put them in order of the aisles.

yes they did. we can get to the dictionary site but cannot access game of day link there, for example

7:34 am

Too bad, Owl.

7:34 am

Yes. I have an envelope for what I will be buying today, use the circular to make list, etc... but if I get there and think I have a coupon for an item that I forgot to put on my list... then I am searching through my organizer (which was organized by categories)... it was just a mess... so I am trying this system.

7:35 am

TO... my husband's job did that recently as well...

7:35 am

Guess what? A tornado came down about 45 min from here yesterday at about 5--closed down both roads, caused damage, but no injuries.

7:35 am

He said that some people were on sites when they had work to do... he was annoyed because he used to go on at lunchtime...

7:35 am

yikes, scrabs!!

7:35 am

Wow... you're in upstate NY, right?

i have a new job and would not have been on except at lunch. but on the bright side, i am getting out and walking every day at lunch now

7:36 am

Yes, it hit Corfu, NY. People video'ed (is that a word?) the funnel--very cool.

7:36 am

It's a shame that a few have to suffer for the many.

7:36 am

I was in a tornado once.... nothing cool about it!

7:37 am

No, it is cool to see, just not to experience.

eek not sure i would even want to see a little one up close. did see a waterspout once - so short lived

7:37 am

Well... good walking is good!

7:38 am

We were traveling in Canada... it was like something out of a move... the sky turned this beautiful purple color and then all hell broke loose.

7:38 am

My poison ivy rash is making me crazy with itching. And I have a few new patches today. I can't wait for this to be over.

7:38 am

meant movie, not move...but I am sure you got it!

oatmeal bath

7:38 am

Had not had poison ivy since I was a kid until a couple of years ago... not pleasant... sorry Scrabbs!

7:39 am

Oatmeal bath is very soothing.

7:39 am

good afternoon all

7:39 am

Hello Queen Jean! Yes, I must buy some today.

7:39 am

not a bad grid today. I'm done

7:39 am

I had it on my back... it was probably good because I could not scratch it but... it drove me insane!

7:39 am

Hi Kallia

with cinnamon and maple syrup

hi kahlia

7:39 am

LOL Esprit

7:39 am

Hi Kallia

7:39 am

that sounds nasty scabs

7:40 am

And walnuts too, Jean?

7:40 am

TO... did y ou change companies or just jobs?

oooh, those might get caught in unfortunate orifices

7:40 am

I slept well last night but since I have been up I am just squirming.

7:40 am

LOL, Jean

;-]

just jobs. and scrabs you will begin your new job soon?

7:42 am

any clues needed?

7:42 am

Sept 29th--I think that is 9 wks from Tuesday.

how are they treating you at work?

7:43 am

Most of the staff found out this past week and many are shocked and saddened. I am the morale booster and keep everyone laughing.

ah no more Richard Head stories after the 29th???

Dr Scrabs

7:45 am

Nice to know you will be missed... good luck Scrabbs...

I have something you will love

speaking of what Nonnie just said

Yes, good luck to you scrabbs! I hope all goes well for you :o)

7:45 am

Boss is finding opportunities to bully me when possible. Example: mother showed up 25 min late with 7 mo old twins, for "recheck" visit--not urgent. I had no available appts for rest of day (full schedule) so I told staff to have her reschedule. Boss found out, was furious at me (not mother) and docked me 30 min of pay.

www.prankplace.com and put in search window that name you call your boss

7:46 am

Hi Nonnie

7:46 am

I will, Jean, later.

don't forget

warning: yuo will wet yourself

Docked your pay? For goodness sake!

7:47 am

I don't even think that is legal. but, what do you care at this point, anyway... what do you do? Nurse or admin?

7:48 am

Checking it now, Jean---wow!

scrabs is a physician

don't you love it Scrabs??

how can the pay of a salaried worker be docked?

7:49 am

Ooh, Jean, the possibilities are endless.

7:49 am

OMG... if he treats you that way, how must he treat other staff members??

7:50 am

He owns the practice so I guess it is legal but it is rude and demeaning.

7:50 am

Are you going to another practice in the area?

just give him a smug smile

there is also an official site called DH world

7:50 am

Still don't think it is legal, particularly for "contract" employees.

Would he have paid you the half hour had you stayed over to work the patients in???

7:50 am

good morning, and weighing in on the side of rational and compassionate employee practices - scrabs, you are doing the best thing to get out of there

7:50 am

Yep, he abuses, degrades, criticizes, bullies, nitpicks, all with great excellence and no shame.

scrabs looking at new snack food on today show. dried corn kernels

7:51 am

TO, employees can be docked but the policy is usually spelled out very clearly and distinctly and is not left up to some subjective feeling of the moment or revenge tactics

7:51 am

I have been job interviewing... and I swear that I want to say... "so... on a scale of 1 to 10 how crazy, irrational, manipulative is the person for whom I will be working???"...

they loook good.

lol mom

7:52 am

Nonnie, no because those twins were part of my afternoon "session" so we get paid to see all patients in a session no matter how long it takes us

7:52 am

Really... they want to know everything about you... I went on one last week... and after the interview I spoke with several staff members about working there... let me just say... glad I did.

Too bad he is such a jerk but thank goodness you're moving onward and upward!

7:53 am

good idea, mom, better to be informed in advance of what you're getting into

7:53 am

Scrabbs... probably just so not worth it... you only have a little while left...

7:53 am

Read Robert Sutton's book: The No A$$hole Rule. I sat and read it at Border's one afternoon a few years ago, it started me on the road to finding a new local job, I e-mailed the author, and now I am leaving!

7:54 am

OMG... am writing it down and buying it!

7:54 am

I have ignored him regarding the "punishment" because it is not worth the hassle and aggravation. Bullies are best ignored.

7:55 am

I am looking for something in the hotel industry... not a ton of jobs right now because it is summer.. but the one interview I went on... did not get a great feeling and then casually spoke to staff after I left... they offered me the job, but I turned them down.

mine is doing all she can to make life miserable. she is actually moving my desk to the one that sits empty because its location is crappy. when the guy who got "my" job looks up i am the only thing in his line of sight. and vice versa.

7:55 am

In your situation ignoring is the way to go... but I have found that bullies are best stood up to... when you do they have no idea how to handle it.

Indeed, no response gets under a person's skin and the beauty is you didn't have to do a thing to him to get to him!

7:56 am

Ah, jeez.... that's a shame TO.

and it costs $ to do this. i don't know how she gets away with it.

7:56 am

Obviously as you are leaving then ignoring him is best... but I had a boss years ago that I stood up to and after I did it was actually a pleasant experience to work for him.

7:56 am

*phone call*

Gotta run...take care all and hope to see you later.

7:57 am

TO... master manipulators are GREAT at justification... you just have to hope that eventually someone catches on.. probably expensive to replace her as well.

7:57 am

here's a sad state of affairs - we provide workshops for teachers on anti-bullying - mainly to teach them how to see it, stop it, etc. among the KIDS - then we hear teachers saying, but what about principals bullying teachers????

mom wroks in some cases not all. i don'tknow what my boss knows about whom but she gets away with it. and now that she has a bout with cancer no one will cross her

7:58 am

What about the fact that they take these classes, their BOEs bpay for them, and they turn a blind eye anyway???? and don't get me started on administrators, LOL!

oh i am sick to deathof the dancing wedding

7:58 am

TO... poor you1

7:58 am

What the heck is the dancing wedding???

here is whatg they do if they are not the kind that backs down (i've had that kind too) they go behind you back and tell upper mgt you are trouble and wrose

8:00 am

OK, I must get ready for work. I will be back later.

8:00 am

We are paying a counselor and the state has given her a grant for this thing that is a female anti-bullying program... guess who is in the group? All the female bullies.... the group is "drop in"... it should be up to the counselor to identify the "at risk" children and then do an anti-bullying session with her "group"... by the way... she tells the kids that she was a bully in middle school.. LOL!

bye scrabs, hope your day is a good one

8:00 am

Bye Scrabbs good luck.

8:01 am

Unfortunately TO... that is office politics... you have to know when to play your cards.

i am just smiling and agreeing. let her get in her final shots

8:03 am

Now, my kid is not bullied... but here is the kicker... the counselor "invites" the kids to her office to discuss her program... then at the end of the year "counts" each child that she discussed the program with so that her participation numbers look like 100%... so she keeps getting state grants for the program... it's ridiculous.

8:03 am

And of course the admininstrator knows all about it.

8:04 am

When I was on the Board of Ed I tried to create criteria for these clubs/organizations that got stipends (don't so much care what the state gives her)... but to no avail.

8:04 am

maybe the bullies know they are bullies and are looking for ways to change

8:04 am

OK... they actually "bully" kids into not coming to the program, as that is their time with the Perceived as Cool Counselor...

8:04 am

there should be some way of comparing discipline outcomes from year to year, mom - number of suspensions for fighting, etc.

i don't believe anything is effective except someone grabbing the perpetrator by the scruff of the neck and laying down the law. based on work with adolescents in a secure detention facility

8:05 am

That would work if these girls ever actually got in trouble... but the administrator just lets them get away with what they get away with because they are mostly jocks... the admin LOVES his jocks.

no counseling can be done until the behavior is checked

8:05 am

If the counselor and the Admin are in cahoots there is not much you can do!

8:06 am

i agree, mom that is a problem

8:06 am

I am not on the Board of Ed anymore... so now I am just a parent... watch out!!!! LOL.

8:06 am

are these girls also protected by parent bullies - that is another phenomenon we've seen

8:06 am

uh-oh spoke too soon:)

8:07 am

JBV.. I think it is great that you run these programs. But they just don't work and they cost districts a fortune.

8:07 am

Oh, no... I am not a bully.

8:08 am

We had a situation a few years ago... something was so against current educational thinking... so I took my BOE hat off... did TONS of research... presented my findings... and it was changed... that's how I do things... emotional blackmail my be effective, but it leaves a bad taste.... best to do things properly. Work through the right channels to have things changed.

8:08 am

well I wouldn't say a fortune, mom, not sure, as it is not my domain, but I'd say it was worth it

8:09 am

And it was changed at the principal's level...

8:09 am

the principal is the key to getting things done at the school level, so one school at a time is better than nothing

8:09 am

The cost for full staff in-service workshops, continuing ed credits, etc... it is significant. And I am not against it as long as it actually accomplishes something.

8:10 am

Well... it was only happening at one school.

8:10 am

Anyway, my point is that you can effect change by working within the system... you just have to be smart about it... no reason for bullying if you are right!

8:11 am

bullying programs don't work because there is no accountability the parents fight the school whenever there little darling gets in trouble they blame it on someone else...in Mass. a 5th grader drew a pic of him shooting his teacher in the head with detail he got a 1 day suspension, now a year later his mother got a lawyer to try and sue for emotional damage to her son!!!

8:11 am

wow

8:13 am

BOEs are entirely too afraid of litigation... I used to say "bring it"!

8:13 am

If you call these parents' bluffs... often they are full of baloney.

8:14 am

it is tough to work at school when the kids laugh if you send them to the office since nothing is going to happen

8:14 am

To hire an attorney to write a letter, etc... cost is minimal... to actually proceed and file the lawsuit is something altogether different and usually not, in the end, what is done!

8:15 am

and even the punishment is really not a deterrent - suspension is just another day off from school

good morning, fellow babblers!

8:15 am

Well... yeah... but my big issue...why is nothing happening???? It's just ridiculous... call these peoples bluffs... eventually they will get the message. But the administrator really MUST document everything and use the policies as they are written.. often they do not.

8:15 am

morning beach.

8:16 am

be back soon -

8:16 am

morning all

8:16 am

Well... suspensions should be in-school with some kind of work attached.

8:16 am

And it can be done... it just has to be school policy.

8:16 am

you are right Mom, the school admin doesnt back the teachers, they back the kids

morning sue

8:16 am

that way the lawsuits are held down

8:16 am

Each situation should be taken individually.

8:17 am

teachers need to sue the school board a few times for mental distress and then they might start backing them

pet lover turnon cbs sunday morning -

8:18 am

cant, kids sleeping

8:18 am

clue me in pls

8:18 am

Here is a great example... the principal and teachers are charged with enforcing dress code. A kid is wearing something, say, inappropriate... I say that the principal should make them wear an oversized, ugly t-shirt... like a scarlet letter.. instead, the principal either does absolutely nothing (usually the case) OR sends the kid home...

8:18 am

was just watching, TO -- so cool!

8:19 am

your right mom. at my kids middle school the teacher get pink ribbons and make the kids tie their pants up with them

8:19 am

I love it, but it will come to an end when a parent tells them that it hurt her kids feelings

8:19 am

Dr. Spoke killed the system

8:20 am

I was at field day and these girls had on shorts that... well let me just say the mystery was over, LOL... anyway, I mentioned to the principal that these shorts were clearly in violation of dress code.. field day or not... he just rolled his eyes and said, "Should I send everyone home?"... I said, NO! Give them one of your staff of XXXL T-shirts and make them wear them... the uglier the better!

8:20 am

hi all

8:20 am

Great idea Sue... great idea!!!!

hi Boo

8:21 am

I offered to pay for the t-shirts out of my own pocket... with catchy little sayings on them... like, "The system must not be working... I can't read the dress code"... LOL!

hi boo.

8:22 am

I work in a lot of H.S. here and I tell the kids that I find seeing their underpant embarrasing and offensive

8:22 am

but again... who were these young ladies (and I use the term loosely).... the jock girls that HE fawns over... ridiculous.

8:22 am

I ask that they pick them up or take them off since usually they are wearing shorts under them

8:22 am

and they usually do one of the two

8:22 am

Seeing their underwear would have been an improvement over what we all had to look at, LOL.

8:23 am

lol

8:23 am

I am in the south so there is still some modesty

i cannot understand why parents permit this. they buy the stuff. i mean come on, why walk around with letters on your rear?

8:23 am

Well.. I plan on showing up at BOE meetings this year to let them know that the dress code should be enforced... and that the stipends that the teachers receive should be earned.

while adult women try to keep from being assaulted with the eyes

esp at work

8:24 am

I work in a school of 3rd thru 6th grade and the clothes are horrible there and you know the parents see what they are wearing!!!!!

8:24 am

good morning all

8:24 am

My favorite is the make-up in my daughter's age group... and I know they are not leaving their houses like that... nor returning home with it on... but at school... look out!

8:25 am

I dont know, it is very depressing

8:25 am

I am going to work in the garden for a bit

8:25 am

bbl

8:25 am

Gotta go... husband is up and looking for grub... bbl!

8:25 am

hi all .. gotta tell you i've been reading this chat and it's no wonder that, when i see these kids in court, i see a sense of entitlement, 'you're not the boss of me," "you can't tell me what to do"

8:25 am

i need a clue to finish. the lo 6/24. I went to the list with 10 left, but just can't see this one.

8:25 am

(and yes, they show up in those clothes)

8:26 am

more lo4/6

8:26 am

(with mommy ... 'not my little darling' rolling off the tips of their tongues')

it's the culture of me, welki. i do as i please.

8:27 am

ty hurshy - fireworks

8:27 am

tx hursh and congrats, wolvie!

8:28 am

I have no children, but I do admit that the passion for pants that fall off your a** befuddles me

8:28 am

hi une

8:28 am

well, no surprise when i see them in adult court a few years later

yay wolvie!

8:28 am

I mean, they can't even walk without holding up their pants. No fun there that I see

does anyone remember their father telling them to go get changed or wipe that gook off face or they were not going out?

8:30 am

yep. sure do, first time i used purple eye shadow. lol

8:30 am

he said it looked like someone beat me.

8:30 am

nope - cause i didn't do it in the first place - mom took me shopping and saw that i didn't buy anything inappropriate

did not do it again that is for sure

8:31 am

the big one for me with my Dad was if he got to the point where he said, quietly "enough" that was it

well there is a novel concept. so hursh have you been permanently damgaed as a result of that?

8:31 am

took a lot to get him there

8:32 am

not that i'm aware of...

i mean has your individuality been squelched?

8:32 am

well peeps - off to fix brunch - have fun

8:32 am

where's the individuality in looking like all the other kids?

;D

8:35 am

heck, my mother wouldn't let me wear make up either ... but there was a friend whose mother wouldn't tell *lol*

looking back seems what they objected to was always the extreme

8:35 am

i love the scene in that house episode where he interviews a young guy with long hair and a tattoo, and doesn't want to hire him... and the guy says, i thought you'd be the last person to have a problem with nonconformity... and house says something about how common 20-somethings with tattoos of asian symbols are, and if he really didn't care what people thought, he'd have a pocket protector etc

hurshy am watching sunday morning which has a pet/animal theme for the features today. btw the baby is getting so big - not a baby anymore

8:37 am

true, owl. i grew up in nyc ... i think that most of my rules were safety based, not 'what the other people think' based

8:38 am

yes, he's been a toddler for a goodish while now

i mean my dad really did worry about my safety if i went out with jeans that looked painted on. appearances DO mean something

ooh looking at dogs in paris accompanying their owners everywhere even inside cafes and the pet cemetary

8:41 am

you're younger than i am, owl (i'm pretty sure) and i know what you mean ... painted jeans for me would equate to hippie, which would translate to liberal, easy and cheap ... sad, but true.

8:42 am

(so i wore them anyway *lol*)

rin tin tin is buried in paris. apparently the original was found by a gi in france

8:44 am

um aren't we one step away from blaming girls for being assaulted due to looking sexy? i suspect people forget themselves as they grow older. when i was in school in the 70s there was no lack of tight and revealing clothing on both genders.

no we are not bonk.

8:45 am

nope, not the way i think the convo was headed

8:47 am

don't get me wrong, kids wear a lot of gawd awful stuff, ridiculous, tawdry and so forth. but i do recall my high school girlfriend in her tube top and second skin jeans and that's a bit more than 30 years ago.

8:49 am

that's just about the time period i was talking about, bonk .. it's not the 'fashion' that's been discussed, but the way our elders guided us through those times, i think

8:51 am

fair enough. i think kids are exposed to a lot more, a lot more quickly. and in some regards their nihilistic attitudes echo those of their elders who seem to have fallen into greed and social apathy. our leaders pretend to be conservative and moral, run off to collect billions from war and pollution. say their prayers and shag their mistresses. it ain't just the kids, as noted.

that is as i recall the gist of the conversation.

time to begin the errands of the day. bye welk

8:52 am

later, owl

8:53 am

good morning, everyone :)

bonk: the feelings of youth throughout the ages

9:02 am

Hi Bonkler, here the sky has gone dark and looks like a heavy rainfall, perhaps worse. Pretty big clouds to get both of us in shot. Might lose net connection!

9:02 am

where are you bonk, pat?

9:04 am

Hi Welki, I'm in Yorkshire, UK.

9:04 am

home of the 'magic roundabout! i must have spent half a day in it, thought i'd run out of gas! lol

9:05 am

finally escaped, found a nice pub where the owner opened a bottle of scotch called, 'sheep dip' and treated me to a swig or two :)

9:06 am

Pretty close to me then. It's sold round here!

9:08 am

must leave for a bit *poof*

9:09 am

Hi Pat -- we are coming to Yorkshire in September!

9:10 am

My husband will want to know the location of that pub, welki!!!

9:14 am

Hi Cybernan, might have some decent weather by then. The last 10 days have been rainy and sunny. Mostly rainy when the builders are here - we have removed a conservatory and are extending instead. The joiners have been delayed so it will take longer than it should - like September instead of end August! Still had to water the garden as the sun inbetween was ok.

9:15 am

clue for the last co 5

9:16 am

Cybernan, find the CAMRA site (campaign for real ale) cos where the beer id good you will find the likes of Sheep Dip and plenty more. I guess the site will prob be www.camra.co.uk. Will check for you - covers the whole of the UK.

9:17 am

HI hope so -- we have rented a self-catering flat in York for 8 the third week -- it will come at the end of our holiday when we are ready for some time on our own and things not so hectic as when on a tour.

9:17 am

usa is your ....and vowel

9:18 am

We're a little nervous about driving on the left, but as I am left handed and used to doing everything backwards, it shouldn't be too bad!

9:19 am

ty pat -- will look it up

9:21 am

It is www.camra.org.uk But not short of good pubs in York and ALL surrounding areas. So no worry. See the Minster before it gets struck by ligtning again. It's beautiful again.

9:23 am

ty -- will pass the url along to my husband -- he will be appreciative, I am sure. We do plan to see Yorkminster Abbey and the Viking museum as well as much of the surrounding countryside as we can manage.

9:25 am

morning!

9:26 am

Don't know too much about Yorkshire, but have been reading up on it. Chose it as the location for our last week because my husband's family emigrated from York about 9 generations (225 yrs) ago.

9:26 am

anyone have the el6?

9:27 am

el 6: like a dwarf, phaeton

9:27 am

Typically, I will be in Hampshire, twixt Southampton and Winchester then. If it is up to my grandchildren I will be fishing. I am a fairly good fisherwoman, tho a bit rusty so me and my 10yr old granddaughter will have to beat the men. They never expect it so, in effect, play against themselves and then SHOUT all the excuses in the world as to why we won. HUH!

Cybernan. Fantastic shop in Hawes, North Yorks. Well worth a visit. All the local delish cheeses. But Nth Yorks has plenty such places. James Herriott, the vet, worked the THIRSK area also not far from York. Ask n York as it has a very very good tourist info service and the VIKING museum is terrific.

1:26 pm

Strange. "ecoli" is not accepted.

1:26 pm

as in e. coli?

1:27 pm

That would explain why.

1:28 pm

:) one of the first things we got to do in the biotech lab - at age 15, was to insert the tetracycline resistence from PBR 322 into E. Coli

1:28 pm

i loved working in the lab.

1:28 pm

such fun

1:28 pm

but, i chose an other path

1:29 pm

Well, I suppose there's more to life than manipulating germs and bacteria.

1:30 pm

yes there is. My specialty came to be hydroponics

1:30 pm

Nifty!

1:30 pm

my career has ended up in Tech Support :)

1:32 pm

how are you this fine day?

1:35 pm

I am fine this fine day. Went to the farmer's market. Got lots of yummy veggies. Came home and sauteed some of them for later tonight. Made a big cucumber, basil and pea shoot salad. Had to stop washing things 'cause my fingers were getting all pruney.

1:35 pm

1:35 pm

1:35 pm

Now I'm just pecking away at Babble and sipping my ice tea. Life is tough.

1:37 pm

1:37 pm

Hi Babble friends. How are you today?

1:37 pm

Hiya, Nef!

1:37 pm

hi, nef. well, thank you, and you?

1:38 pm

1:39 pm

(I'm having a low-key day; it's beautiful weather here today but I'm dealing with a queesy stomach so just not doing much0

1:41 pm

Iced tea? I'll stick to sips of water for now.

1:41 pm

Seain, thanks for letting me know.

1:42 pm

What has made you queasy, Nef?

1:43 pm

Hi Everybody. Wearing her flak jacket, and waving a white flag, Soodle cautiously enters chog.....

1:43 pm

I'm putting it up to too much stress this past week. (Thanks for letting me know how to spell that, Judi. Couldn't figure out queasy for anything! :-)

1:44 pm

Hiya, Soodle. I think you're safe.

1:45 pm

Whew!! As a mam of 3 teenagers, I don't need bickering on Babble!!! lol

1:46 pm

hi Soodle. No one has hit us in the past 1/2 hour I think

1:46 pm

I came in after the rift. I didn't even bother to scroll back to see what it was about.

1:47 pm

Lifes too short, eh?

1:47 pm

Babble should be a no quibble zone.

1:48 pm

I think some people just don't like each other. It's none of my business, and I don't get involved. I don't think others get dragged into it *most of the time.

1:49 pm

As Soodle' steenagers would no doubt say... what.ev.er.

1:50 pm

yep

1:50 pm

Oh, save me from the 'Whatevers'!! I keep telling them that when my menopause hits, I will match them, hormone for hormone!!! lol

1:51 pm

*inserts dramatic eye roll to accompany what.ev.er*

1:52 pm

back

1:53 pm

lol

1:53 pm

I am actually very lucky to have three teenagers. Because, you see, they know EVERYTHING. about everything. Don't know how I ever coped before they came on the scene!!! (tongue firmly in cheek))

1:54 pm

Thanks for reminding me I have to do laundry, dc. Then I have to do some ironing (drudge!). Until the day shorts and t-shirts are allowed at work, I must press my blouses and trousers. Damned uncivilized if you ask me.

1:54 pm

I'm just so glad that that time of my life is now ancient history. :-)

1:54 pm

lol, Soodle. I'm sure they're tweeting behind your back as we speak.

1:55 pm

i pressed pants and hung them, and have shirts in the dryer now :)

1:55 pm

Ha!! No they're not, Judi. Cos their mam is hogging the 'puter!!!!

1:57 pm

Good for you, Soodle. I hope you have them doing chores.

Hi all. Good afternoon.

2:02 pm

I am sitting on my back deck, looking at the gardens.

2:02 pm

very nice, scrabbs

2:03 pm

Sounds blissful, Scrabbs. Can we peal you a grape?

2:04 pm

sonorous grapes. :) mayhap peel one?

2:04 pm

I am eating sugar-free popsicles so as to cool off--sun is now out after a hard rain.

2:04 pm

Peel. Peal. what.ev.er.

2:04 pm

:D

2:05 pm

I have a sweatshirt that says WHATEVER

2:05 pm

How are you and Tom without Jasper, Seain?

2:05 pm

wahhhhhh! I need a laptop so I can sit on my deck, look at the garden and Babble at the same time.

2:05 pm

Awesome, Scrabbler. I want one that says, "Why Bother?".

2:06 pm

judy, just set you computer up with a window view

2:06 pm

Judy, in January I treated myself to a $379 mini-laptop from www.tigerdirect.com. Great decision.

2:07 pm

great idea, dc

2:07 pm

Scrabbler - you didn't get that sweatshirt from my kids, did you?

2:07 pm

ooooo Scrabs sounds like a plan!!!

2:07 pm

lol, Soodle!

2:07 pm

Haha, no, Soodle. Someone gave it to me as a gift probably 15 yrs ago, because I am so easy-going.

2:07 pm

dc, it would be tough to Babble from my kitchen counter . . .

2:07 pm

If there's a Micro Center near you, Judy, they have great deals on rebuilt laptops

2:08 pm

I think I'm at a point where I "NEED" a laptop! LOL

2:08 pm

Check it out, Judy. I got the Acer Aspire One, in blue, and have been happy with it--it serves my needs/wants. Alternative was much more expensive laptop

2:09 pm

I didn't NEED it either but now I can be anywhere in the house or yard, and I take it on vacations to use Wi-Fi.

2:09 pm

Tiger Direct has excellent prices. A lot of stuff you order from Amazon.com comes from there.

2:09 pm

never knew that Judi (and Scrabs). thx

2:12 pm

I got 2 refurb HP laptops (for hubby and dtr) for Christmas from Geek.com for less than $600 (even with shipping). We've bought lots of stuff through them over the years and have always been satisfied

2:12 pm

TY for sharing that, Nef--another good resource

2:13 pm

thx Nef

2:13 pm

Must get anit-itch cream for poison ivy rash...BRB

2:13 pm

sounds like I'm gonna find a laptop I can afford. Woohoo

2:13 pm

oh no Scrabs . . . poison ivy . . . yuk

2:14 pm

oh, yes, there are many affordable windows laptops to be had with just a tad of research

2:14 pm

Yahoo Judy!

2:14 pm

Bummer, Scrabbs. Cortisone is good - dries it up too.

2:14 pm

just love my networking pals here in Babbleland

2:15 pm

If you're going natural - baking soda paste and/or calendula oil.

2:16 pm

I have been applying steroid creams and Gold Bond anti-itch (menthol & pramoxine). Exposure was 7/17 so I am looking forward to resolution soon.

CJ, I saw sometehing on TV, a cardboard contraption that helped you fold laundry correctly. think it cost $20 plus SH& and you still had to fold it. thought it looked like a waste of money

2:38 pm

* giggle *

2:38 pm

It's a waste, Peri...cuz you can get the directions to make one out of a cardboard box on YouTube!!!

2:38 pm

I was in the grid yesterday. do not see me in the grid today

7:14 pm

2nd fl5/16, please?

7:14 pm

Sometimes I buy 1/2 gallon containers and eat it in one sitting--moreso in the past when PMS made me psychotic

7:14 pm

follow the instructions or go to lowes or home depot for instructions from a professional

one who takes flight or a brochure

7:14 pm

7:16 pm

Hi Buff 7 Nef

7:17 pm

Hello -

7:17 pm

I think I can do it--I can, like the little engine that could.

7:17 pm

hi buff

7:17 pm

my flight got in at 12:30 my luggae arrived at 1:15 and I got ot my house at 3

7:17 pm

poor jmc. are you getting reacquainted with your bourbon?

7:17 pm

and yet I had to get up and go see Mother

7:17 pm

I was at Lowe's yesterday and came up with so many projects to do here in my house

la 5,12 anyone?

7:18 pm

no I thought I would drink wine tonight

7:18 pm

Just follow the directions. But I certainly wouldn'teat it; especially a 1/2 gallon container of it!

7:18 pm

Like fa5

7:18 pm

were you one last night when I told about the police raid?

oh wait never mind :D

7:18 pm

rhymes with what you have if you believe in something

7:19 pm

no, jmc, do retell!

7:19 pm

I would do the same thing scrabs if I had any money

7:19 pm

Oh, no, Nef, it would certainly cause constipation, but if I do the project myself I can get a 1/2 gallon of triple chocolate fudge almond crunchy delight ice cream and reward myself

7:19 pm

a police raid, jmc? What happened?

7:19 pm

as you konw I was at a Baptist conference in Utah

7:19 pm

I would rather to DIY projects than pay someone else

7:19 pm

Ahhh! Now THAT makes sense Scrabs!

7:20 pm

jm, I saw you and the Baptists on CNN

7:20 pm

I was invited to a birthday party by one of the board members

7:20 pm

me too scrabs but even diy costs money

7:20 pm

jmc; don't tell us the Baptists got in trouble in UTAH of all places!

7:20 pm

And projects take time

7:20 pm

don't you love it Nef?

7:21 pm

I told them I would have a good time with this

7:21 pm

lol scrabs

7:21 pm

when they knocked on the door we thought we had been too loud

7:21 pm

but it was because we had beer and wine at the party

7:21 pm

and...

7:21 pm

So Tell us what happened!

7:22 pm

apparently it was dry campus so we said we would stop drinking

7:22 pm

who told on you? or were you table dancing?

7:23 pm

the cop and the little nark (wearing a bandana in true nark tradition) said we had to get rid of the alcohol

7:23 pm

so we offered to put it in the truck of the car andthey said it had to get off campus

7:24 pm

so we offered to park off campus and they said that we had to pour it out or they would card us and possibly more

7:24 pm

well, i guess rules are rools.

7:24 pm

(my ID was somewhere else)

7:24 pm

I understand telling us to stop drinking and put it in the car or the car off campus but POURING IT OUT!?!?!

li 5,14 please?

7:25 pm

sounds really like they are a bit anal retentive about it all

7:25 pm

two big cats crossed bred. sudoku

7:25 pm

Yes, far too uptight!

7:26 pm

so my friends started pouring it out (18 beers and 2 bottles of wine) and I said if they wanted it poured out they should do it themselves!

7:26 pm

Alright, time for dinner of some sort then perhaps grotuing tile before bed.

7:26 pm

so everyone sat down and watched the little nark pour it out

7:26 pm

have fun? scrabs!

ok thank you :D

7:26 pm

have a nice dinner scrabs

7:27 pm

hope he got his kicks out of that.

7:27 pm

the cherry on top was the nark saying "I try not to drink" and I said-- either you drink or you don't. if you have to try not to you have a drinking problem.

7:27 pm

bye Scrabs. Good Luck on the grouting!

7:28 pm

the baptists all giggled quitely

7:28 pm

touche` jmc

7:28 pm

LOL!, jmc, it sounds as though you had as much fun watching (and nonviolently harrassing ) the narc!

7:28 pm

anyway I think it is funny to have a police raid of a Baptist party

7:29 pm

definitely a self righteous little pinhead

7:29 pm

that's me--universal nonviolent harasser

7:29 pm

just have to remember next time to move the party off campus

7:29 pm

I think it's hilarious! Did it make the daily paper? I'd love to have a copy of that! :-)

7:30 pm

no thank goodness it did not -- I would have some splaining to do to my Mennonite and Brethren donors!

7:31 pm

if I get arrested it I would prefer it to be for a matter of principle! lol

7:33 pm

Well, I was thinking of the type of police report that gets put in our small suburban paper: "police found several people drinking on a dry campus; alcohol was dumped, all involved were of age" -or something of the sort

7:34 pm

holy rollers rapped for illegal adult beverages on dry campus.

7:35 pm

lol I like lbd's version better

7:35 pm

LBD, I love that! However, our suburban paper is much too boring to come up with swomething like that!

7:35 pm

Nef, our police blotter would have had a heyday with that one!

7:36 pm

something

of 6,39 anyone?

7:36 pm

of + tuna, halibut, salmon, guppies...

7:37 pm

lbd, I forget; you do not live in Msla, do you?

thank you dawg :D

7:37 pm

not in missoula, i'm up north of there...kalispell

7:37 pm

yw, sudoku

7:37 pm

and there I was so close to you lbd!

7:38 pm

truly, jmc!

7:38 pm

just a hop, skip, jump, or two

7:38 pm

I have a sister who is a police detective there and their paper doesn't get a lot of "interesting" stories!

7:38 pm

only about 10 hours right?

7:39 pm

I love Kalispell!

7:39 pm

my husband was a criminal lawyer and the lawyers lounge was always a fun place to be

7:39 pm

the daily interlake is a sorry excuse for news, but the police blotter is a hoot to read.

7:39 pm

depends on where in Utah you were, jmc

7:39 pm

Ogden

7:40 pm

closer to 12 hours, jmc. it's two hours to missoula, and from there, depending on which highway you take...

7:40 pm

it's a distance.

7:40 pm

ah well still in western terms no too too bad

7:41 pm

I've driven that before from Missoula to SLC.

7:42 pm

whoooo hooooo Laura (who's Laura?)

7:42 pm

My friend, JMC - she's on Myspace.

7:42 pm

Oh thank you J.C. dahhhling. I've never finished one before. :)

7:42 pm

I never had any trouble driving through montana

7:42 pm

Laura?

7:42 pm

WTG, Laura! Congrats!

7:42 pm

Yoohoo - Laura, come out come out, wherever you are? ;)

7:42 pm

whoo hoo Laura!

7:42 pm

Oh - there you are! :P

7:42 pm

crappy roads, drunks and wildlife, jmc

7:43 pm

sounds normal to me lbd ;-)

7:43 pm

ahhh there she is, whoooo hooooo LAURA!!

7:43 pm

JMC - remember the beautiful, dark-haired young lady who posted the funny Richard Simmons graphic in a commnet on my My

7:43 pm

lbd, did you hear of us being hit and run by a horse in MT before?

7:43 pm

Oops . . . :P On my MySpace page?

7:43 pm

Well, that's Laura . . .

7:43 pm

i've been hit by a deer and slobbered by a bison.

7:44 pm

hmmm nat so active on all those social pages as you JC

7:44 pm

what happened, Nef?

7:44 pm

did you hit either the deer or bison back?

7:44 pm

I haven't been lately either, JMC . . .

7:44 pm

deer left a hoof print in my rear bumper! bison drool, nasty stinky!

7:45 pm

I've had to take my page down twice in the past fortnight. :( It's back up now, though - and protected more. (Stalker trouble.)

7:45 pm

I was jumped by a deer once and the hoofs dragged my roof! scary

7:46 pm

sorry to hear of the stalker trouble --- I have my own version of that and it is so discouraging

7:46 pm

you can never seem to get away from them

7:46 pm

guess we're their targets, jmc. for all those that get hit by cars, they have to take it out on someone!

7:46 pm

Dumb drunken cowboy riding a horse in the middle of the night, got bucked off and two more drunken cowboys in a big 4X4 truck stopped and the 3 of them were trying to chase down the horse and they chased it right into our car! We had $4000 on our little Colt Vista: front roof, passenger side and rear-end damage

7:46 pm

I guess I was glad the deer more or less cleared me

7:47 pm

bummer nef

7:47 pm

Oh god, the poor horse!!! :(

7:47 pm

did they pay for the damages, nef?

7:47 pm

poor colt vista!

7:49 pm

little cars don't have much of a chance in that instance. i think the horse definitely has a chance of not being hurt too badly.

7:49 pm

The drunk cowboy took the horse "to my farm on the next right there;" and the other 2 jumped in that truck and did a U turn and took off; leaving DH, me, and the 2 kids to pick up the car-top carrier and everything else. The windshield was broken in on me too

7:50 pm

in otherwords you never got a dime

7:50 pm

you all are so lucky to not have been hurt!

7:50 pm

Oh my god, Nef - that's awful! :(

7:50 pm

Yes . . .

7:51 pm

our insurance covered it because the cowboy lied. It was a hit and run. the hiway patrol was going to put out an APB for an injured horse; but the horse was moving pretty darned good that night

re 5,12 please

7:52 pm

ae pls?

7:52 pm

well, i hope the horse was okay, and i hope the cowboy got bucked off again on a thorny cactus!

8:14 pm

hello all, I have a question.

*** waves buh-bye ***

8:14 pm

hi peri

8:15 pm

hi peri

8:15 pm

I was recently on faceboook and a window opened up that said I had a trojan virus. has this happened to anyone else?

whats your question?

8:15 pm

bye autumn

8:15 pm

and apparently my virus protection is not working :(

8:15 pm

actually the pop up was probably the virus

8:16 pm

Are you sure that wasn't merely one of those annoying pop-up adverts, designed to frighten you into clicking on it and buying their product, periwinkle?

8:16 pm

There are many like that . . .

evening all... waiting desperately for Chicken.

8:16 pm

I got off of facebook and turned off the computer.

8:16 pm

if the window says click here to clean the virus, don't do it! that's how you get the virus!

never happened to me... sorry, my mom knows a lot about computers but i'm just playing her babble :D

8:16 pm

I'm sure that's probably what it was, as there wouldn't be a virus warning on a website such as that.

8:16 pm

it said it was from windows. I didn't

8:16 pm

And yes - what lbdawger said is also often true!

8:17 pm

Was it from your actual anti-virus programme though, periwinkle?

8:17 pm

windows doesn't do that ...so that is your first clue

8:17 pm

No, what JMC said is right - Windows doesn't do that. So most likely, it is one of those adverts that pop up - close and ignore it.

8:17 pm

yea, it's one of those nasty little adverts that want you to download their junk, but it also turns out to be a nasty spam thing that can really mess up your computer

8:18 pm

I've seen lots of those - designed to scare you into downloading, as lbdawger's just said . . .

8:18 pm

ah, never thought of that . I feel better now. No it was not from macafee which is apparently not working altho my nephew and brother in law both say it is installed. nothing happend when I click on their icon.

8:18 pm

sorta like the phone calls that tell you that your warranty is about to expire

8:18 pm

They are best closed with the 'X' in the upper right corner, and forgotten about. Never click on anything except that 'X' to close them!

8:19 pm

Yes, JMC . . .

8:20 pm

click on your macafee icon, run scan and let it do it's thing.

8:21 pm

when I click on the macafee icon I just get their logo which blinks on and then off. it does not appear to be working :(

8:21 pm

I am not able to run a scan which is what I wanted to do

8:21 pm

try right clicking

Peri - where you playing Farm Town on FB? I have had that happen in FT.

8:22 pm

Oh no, periwinkle - perhaps you have a virus, which has disabled your antivirus programme then - but perhaps not, don't panic. Can you get a technician to check your computer?

8:22 pm

I was trying to play Scramble. I really like that game.

McAfee may not be able to remove it. It is a trojan and needs to be removed with an anti-spyware program. I had several of them on this pc. Husband cleaned it last night.

8:22 pm

my nephew works with computers but he could not come over tonight

8:23 pm

what kinda geek are you that your husband has to remove it! lol

8:23 pm

I had that happen to me once, and the virus disabled my Norton Antivirus programme. I since learned from a good technician never to use a well-known antivirus programme like Norton or McAfee, because those are the ones the virus-coders write viruses for . . .

8:23 pm

peri, before you panic, did you reboot your computer?

8:23 pm

I did rebot

My vote is to let the nephew disable and remove it.

8:23 pm

It didn't damage my computer in any way though, and I was able to get rid of it just fine.

CLean your history also.

They tend to make your computer run very slowly....

8:24 pm

Yes, go with what sciencegeek suggested - good advice. ;)

8:25 pm

I use AVG which you can down load free or pay for a bells and whistles version

8:25 pm

thanks for your advice. I will try not to panic

8:25 pm

ok, will go now

8:25 pm

I use AntiVIR - it's from Germany, and it's very good. Same deal as the one JMC describes . . .

Don't panic. Just don't click on the pop ups!

8:26 pm

I will never click on pop ups

How is everyone else tonight?

8:26 pm

It self-updates automatically, about three times a day.

8:26 pm

good practice peri!

8:27 pm

peri? do you have system restore in start/programs/accessories/system tools?

8:27 pm

other than a head ache and not enough sleep I am fine science

I just read some terrible news in our local paper. Apparently two of my former students were murdered in Austin, Texas, this past week!

8:27 pm

oh no! science that is terrible!

8:27 pm

Oh no, I am terribly sorry to hear that, sciencegeek! :( How upsetting!!!

I am in shock. It was on America's Most Wanted this week. I did not see it. I saw the obits. 21 and 22 years old they were. AHH. They caught the shooter. It was over a drug issue

8:28 pm

Oh my god . . . :(

8:28 pm

so sad science

8:28 pm

That's really terrible, SG. My sympathies to you.

THis young man owed our victim 7,000 for pot. He went to the apt and shot the boy and then shot the girl because she was in the home.

8:29 pm

yesterday, a four year shot his two year sister; and a three year old shot his four year old brother ... somehow these children go hold of loaded guns

Horrible. I am so saddened. I feel so bad for the parents. I lost a child 9 years ago today and you never get over it!

8:29 pm

Very sorry to hear that too, sciencegeek - no, of course you wouldn't ever get over it. :(

8:29 pm

oh science that is terrible too!

BR - I know it seems to happen every day. But, this is ridiculous - over drug money - pot money !

8:30 pm

I cannot imagine what I would do if my son was killed

8:30 pm

I am so sorry, SG.

I can remember them so well even though I have seen them in 4 years.

Thanks, I am just venting here a bit. I really need to let you guys solve this grid!

If you pray, pray for the Barnett and Gossey familes.

8:31 pm

no no science part of the value of babble is the ability to rant or vent or even tell funny stories

Goosey - oops

8:31 pm

You must've needed to, sciencegeek - which I'm quite sure nobody here minds, at all.

8:31 pm

I will hold them in the Light

8:31 pm

pray for us all

THanks for listening. :) God bless all of you!

8:32 pm

{{{{science}}}}

See you tomorrow at some point. I really need to stay off of here and teach - 4 more days of summer school.

8:32 pm

And you, sciencegeek - and the families of those poor kids! :(

Thanks.

8:32 pm

be well, sciencegeek

9:56 pm

I am a plodder, Jen, with limited functionality

9:56 pm

I was at a baptist party that was raided by the police

9:57 pm

BR! you lie like a rug!

9:57 pm

a plodder!

9:57 pm

jenmo looks up plodder

9:57 pm

you are kidding .. were they mormon cops?

9:57 pm

pretty much ru! lol

9:57 pm

we were committing the crime of drinking beer!

9:58 pm

oh my god.. that is a misdameanor in Utah!

9:58 pm

so all these years of avoidin getting arrested. . . .!

9:58 pm

yes?

9:59 pm

the little narc (complete with a narc headband) brought the police who insisted that we could not take the beer elsewehere but had to pout it out

10:00 pm

unbelievable!...

10:00 pm

was it mediocre beer at least?

10:00 pm

i need the "h" word please

10:00 pm

my hosts started pouring it out and I said if they wanted it poured out they should do it themselves

10:01 pm

I guess I am now consorting with hardened criminals here in babble ...

10:01 pm

actually---I would never tell my hosts--it was pretty lousy beer

10:01 pm

that's me!!!

10:01 pm

hi -- the part of a sword before the blade

10:01 pm

that is hysterical jm..

10:02 pm

to top it off (try not to yawn here BR I know you heard this all before) the narc said. . .

and so sad. you need a cocktail!

10:02 pm

you could say that you were "Pabst-stized" I guess

10:02 pm

"I try not to drink" and I said -- you either drink or you don't

10:02 pm

if you have to try not to drink you have a drinking problem

too true

10:03 pm

I am happily drinking wine tonight

10:03 pm

Sometimes I can't believe we live in 2009..

10:03 pm

well it was Utan ru!

sometimes it feels like the dark ages

10:03 pm

me too.. a nice Cabernet

10:03 pm

are you back home now?

10:04 pm

oddest thing what that the only bars I saw in Ogden were pretty sleazy

10:04 pm

I told my hosts I intended to may a great deal of hay from this story!

10:05 pm

they did n't mind being told not to drink but they were furious that their beer was pour out

10:05 pm

There are many beautiful places in Utah.. but I don't care for the Mormon Church and its work

10:05 pm

it isn't like you were all doig crack or something...

10:05 pm

the other thing I did though ru was to meet with the very very sweet farmer. . .

10:05 pm

doing.. that is

10:06 pm

who was one of 10 (count them) Mormons who refuse to fight in WWI

10:06 pm

thxs, got the h word after conferring with the dictionary

10:06 pm

crack is too much trouble

10:06 pm

wtg Jen

10:06 pm

sorry WWII

10:06 pm

how many wives did he have that farmer?

10:07 pm

only one

10:07 pm

how unusual for Utah

10:07 pm

he told me that his father taught him he should never do anything he could not do in love

10:07 pm

when he was drafted in WWII he thought--I can't kill people in love

10:07 pm

what does that mean?

10:08 pm

alovely guy

10:08 pm

what does what mean ru?

10:08 pm

he took a lot of hits for refusing to fight

10:08 pm

he should never do anything he could not do in love.

10:09 pm

The hits are worth it if you don't believe in killing people. I would never have gone to war.

fo 4/7??

10:10 pm

he saw it clearly to mean that you have to do the right thing regardless of the hits

10:10 pm

there are three of them gin which one?

10:10 pm

he claimed he never had a problem but his wife told me differently

10:11 pm

what did she say?

10:11 pm

she said -- I don't agree with him. But my friends asked me if I really wanted to marry him

last

10:11 pm

she told me how he was invited to retire early

10:11 pm

fo + not out

10:11 pm

Hello again everybody. Just coming up from the grid for a minute. I have 7 left

Hi Nef.

10:23 pm

My party was raided by the police

10:23 pm

the 1st column F is the Fi and drum

10:23 pm

the f that has only one word attached to it

10:24 pm

ging I am an old fo5/20!

10:24 pm

ginge - fo5/20 is a boring old fart that rhymes with what a bored teenager might pick out of a nostril.

10:24 pm

it's the F4/10 if you need thestats

10:25 pm

What??? Jmc. Why?

10:25 pm

doesn't rhyme in US Jac

10:25 pm

an old drum.....not getting it, can it be rephrased, please?

10:25 pm

it was a birthday party of Baptists in Utah where the Mormons reign

10:25 pm

Doesn't it, jmc?

10:26 pm

two different clues jen

10:26 pm

fo= I am an Old fo*** or fart

10:26 pm

'o' sounded as in the word 'oh'.

10:27 pm

got it thx!!!

10:27 pm

10:27 pm

nose pickings is booger in US

10:28 pm

lol jac!

age is a state of mind

10:28 pm

any way the police came to the door and we thought is was because we were too loud

10:28 pm

(easy to say ging when your age is hidden)

10:29 pm

That must be why I feel 18 some days and nearer 90 during others, ginge. LOL

loud baptists!! oh no!

10:29 pm

but it was because we had beer at the party

10:29 pm

now, i am finding the "obvious" words i should have been seeing!!

10:29 pm

Oh heck, jmc!

try to keep thinking 18 jac

10:29 pm

Did they confiscate your booze?

10:30 pm

so the little narc (complete with head band) came with the cop and we said we would stop drinking since we didn't know it was a problem

10:30 pm

ok... so at 8:30 at night it is 80 degrees outside...

10:30 pm

Jen - that's pretty normal for the end of a grid.

10:30 pm

I wish jac they told us to pour it out!

10:30 pm

it just takes one word and then i find the rhyming words!

10:30 pm

oh bummer JMC!

10:31 pm

the hosts were going to do it but I said that if the narc and the police wanted it poured out they should to it themselves

10:31 pm

DR - no need to gloat about having summer weather when we in UK have none. Mind you, what with the hot flushes (flashes) I don't need external temps to make it high summer.:(

10:31 pm

I thought it was funny!

10:31 pm

I would gladly bottle it and send it to you Jac. : )

10:31 pm

If I had bought the beer I might have though other wise

11:10 pm

Thatt read a bit condescending, did't it? Wasn't meant to.:(

no worries

11:10 pm

Some people are not meant to be blonde .. You should see southern Cal. ..

honey, i lived in ca for awhile and saw more trashed hair there than you could shake a stick at.

11:11 pm

LOLOLOL Torg! Not seen them in person, but have seen some photos.

11:13 pm

hello hello I am at my wit's end I need one more re 6/24 to be done..I have the first one that sounds like a former president and I have the one that mean to cover with gold again..help, please

11:14 pm

the other is a large area westie..

think area

11:14 pm

re6 -al foods

11:14 pm

As a former hairdresser, I totally understand. Back in the 60s they were trashing hair by bleaching it with neat peroxide and then backcombing and lacquering it, which took bicarb of soda in the washing of to remove. But then they had the same uppy style done again and wondered why their hair broke off. These days, it's all the hair-straightening and the products that go with it.

11:14 pm

Or to enroll again ..

11:14 pm

thanks both I am thinking...

11:15 pm

no that one is 6/33 torg

11:15 pm

Yosemite is a re 6-al park

11:16 pm

I think it's almost here ruru

11:16 pm

chinese food is re 6-al food

11:16 pm

I love really black hair on a woman and too many of them dye it blonde or worse .. *shudder* streaks ..

eek! blonde streaks on dark hair is so-o unpleasant to behold.

11:17 pm

Erm, I have blondish streaks now to disguise the encrouhing grey in my formerly dark brown hair.

11:17 pm

But my dark hair had become paler.

11:18 pm

i have many different colored streaks in mine :)

i was thinking on level 1,2, or 3

11:19 pm

I've just given my stepdaughter a dye on top of heer dark brown/blonde streaked hair. It was Grand Canyon Red. She's now kinda Sharon Osbourne a few years ago.

11:19 pm

I can't get it..what do yosemite and chinese food have in common she asks herself?

our hair cert. does tend to lighten w/ age. I was once level 3.5 and now am a 5 with too much gray

11:20 pm

abbreviation for normal re* plus atomic particle west?

11:20 pm

She wanted and 'all over red colour' but I warned her that it wouldn't happen with a temorary dye (which is all she'll be allowed during the 6 week school summer hol anyway).

11:21 pm

I got it. Thank you kaz and all for the help

11:21 pm

yay west!

11:21 pm

Jac I think you just described my hair color lol

color was always my fave thing to do

11:21 pm

I was trying to get an 'again' word.

congrats west!

11:22 pm

my brain just flew out the window

11:22 pm

jenmo has 55 left and 699 points-will she make it over 700?

11:22 pm

I have no problem with women coloring their hair but I just prefer a more natural look ..

11:22 pm

Kazz - I was quite peed off that I gave my 'Step' the coulour I asked my hairdresser to give me about 3 years ago.

11:22 pm

she will

11:23 pm

I still need the re5 words ..

11:23 pm

Torg - mine would be dark brown with a hell of a lot of grey now. If you think that looks good in long hair, then fair play to you.

i believe some experimentation is good for one, but ultimately think one should try to stay within one's tonal range

11:23 pm

opp of pro and grease

11:24 pm

two words

11:24 pm

Thanks west !!1

unless one has aone of those rampant wild urges and cannot control oneself. then, anything goes. that's what color correctionists are for, right?

11:25 pm

vw torg

11:25 pm

jenmo just hit 705 points! woohoo!

11:25 pm

Lime green, shocking pink, purple . . .

11:26 pm

11:26 pm

I've had every colour on my face, and a few in my hair. :P

11:26 pm

well i love my fuschia red/ brown / blonde combo

it seemed the thing to do at the time

11:26 pm

con and grease?

11:26 pm

and J.C I think pink is your color lol

11:27 pm

Oh, so you speak to people on here, Kazozz - but log into the messenger, see me online and just log off again? :/

11:27 pm

Oh, I see you've logged in there again, now . . .

11:27 pm

Kazz - my daughter's hair is not dissimilar in colour to yours right now AND she backcombs and lacquers it for nights out.

11:27 pm

Yes, it seems to suit, for some reason. :P

11:28 pm

2 re5 words caly

well, all. it has been fun, but i hear sleep calling my name. i am sure we will meet and babble again sometime!

11:28 pm

11:47 pm

Penalty Box for putting words in the chat, lol! It's full of goodies.

oops.... it's fun to be here hehe

11:47 pm

Do not be afraid ..

11:47 pm

11:48 pm

but i'm all shy and awkward lol i'm always nervous to talk to people

11:48 pm

in case you're wondering, the word you used is the aquatic animal

i figured that out, jilli. hehe. I could have said "pass that swimming animal over here"

11:49 pm
