Hello, West, and I refuse to go to the PB for saying your name!
Yeah, I always forget that
west gets a pass today under circumstances?
we show up a lot dart lol
jilli is queen mother
I think the second an8 should not be a word if they will not accept "pissy" as a word....
anyone have the count on the se 7?
have an se 7 48
There are 10 se, including se7,48
ty kate
thanks kate
didn't have the pt
ym, glad am able to help...don't get a chance o9ften
ym westie
se 7 is a stupid word I think
REmember DEnnis of Chicago Bulls fame? He is in the puzzle as a word.
it is how do you se7 something
the one in the wedding gown?
We are being se7'd right now, and our roads are a mess....
still don't see haters of scananavians...
it's not a word just one I tried
Yes LOL!
bad for car jai...and high heels
it was a false clue Kate. try haters of dope instead
but there are 2 x an 8?
ro6 is too a word
Yes, there are two
thanks, bugs.....tricky babblers should jpoin me in box for japing
didn't mean to confuse you kate and certainly didn't mean to give a false clue
there is only one 9
didn't realize it was a ghost...don't worry about it, west
I looked for a long time to find haters of swedes.
ty, jai...x 2
speaking of ghosts, I keep seeing "minutes" in the puzzle
go to the PB bugs lol
I am married to one and didn't know there might be a word. Laff at me for looking
haunting someone else earlier
Guilty as charged. I am off with herring

hello flosey
bye volley
hi flosey!
hi flosey !! how was bridge?
very good tonight west, we won
always good to hear
ty
scores are always double checked though but dont expect that to change
silly 20 something girls outside my house screaming because they saw a raccoon.....no wonder can't concentrate
yuck critters
love bandits, very intelligent. destructive t5hough
have fostered a few through the years
and they do such cute little things with their 'hands'
had a coon fight in our back yard just last night - I threw out some old bread and they were all determined to fight for it! incredible noises...
we had a problem with rabid ones awhile ago and that is scary
oh no rbud they wouldn't share?
yes, very noisy fighters....keeps down the injury level
all very fat and healthy-looking, living off our garbage and scraps, lol!
rabies can be problematic....
love the bum waddle
screaming again...
all God's creatures have a place in the choir..
our dog always wants to get out and get those darn coons - yap, yap, yap! - they're all bigger than her, lol!
westie, they're very tactile...can literally see with paws. brain wired so they can visualize what they feel but can't see. think clams/crayfish on streambed
the littler the dog the bigger the ego
shhh! she thinks she's a BIG dog! ;)
girls screaming, not coons...
lol
<sorry rbud ssshhh>
are you both out in the country?
Toronto...raccoon capital of canada...reaslly
we were more or less in Westford but here we're in the city..can't blame them though all their habitats are being destroyed
more coons /sq mile than anywhere else (maybe even all of n. amer.)
I'm right on the edge of the woods in a tiny town.
wow I didn't know that
so the screaming girls have probably seen them before?
plenty of habitat for coons just easier pickings with people around
we have foxes raiding our garbage, too.
and the deer eat my garden...
yes, just flighty little screamers...must think it an attractive fem. trait
too bad they can't all shop at the super market
must be some boys around
had problems with deer my last place. coulsn't bear to scare them off. so beautiful
think you're right westie...performing
is it that really high-pitched "squeeeealll!" they do? I hate that, son's GF is like that.
don't know if you saw the beautiful pictures cybernan posted of deer in her garden kate they were magnificent
YES SQUEEEEEEELERS
did see someon'e deer pics, nice
crap, we all just said de4, off to the PB with us, lol!
more useless trivia... in "wild" usually one rsaccoon per sq. mi. and thsat is their range..no further
oh all right lol
PB full mtonight account westford showed up
but there are lovely snacks in there. dc stocked up on yummies
I resemble that remark
you are loved westford, don't take it to heart
but but you said it was crowded now that I'm there lol
not because you're there. because you came on line and were greeted by all and sundry
not your fault
Oh phooey, another biggie.
oh now I get it lol
hi jilli it's not so bad
should be moratorium on we4 today
hi jilli
jil come on in the water's finme
hello, jilli!
that's consoling, TK
Hi everyone!
rbud - no quiz tonight, but how's headache situation?
hi jilli
great icon jilli and recipe
love your lambs, flosey
thanks
LOL flosey :)
Hi all
hi diem
jilli how nice to have a guy at the dock
hello diem
Well, tried to get an appointment with "regular" doc, who's never seen any of us. They seem to want to refuse. Son's not had much trouble today, but still going to work on an appointment.
hi diem
easy peasy recipe jil...yummy
west, he's not always there.
oh but what heaven when he is !!
I like easy peasy recipes
never had had dungeness crab bet it's sooo good
have*
rbud - keep at it. don't worry.maybe his old paediatrician?
Jill now you got me starving in the mood for a crab feast
west, it's something like lobster
they all stopped taking people with medical cards, that's why the new one. but none of us have ever been to him yet.
me too, diem!
they make it so complicated, don't they?
mmm now lobster I know
hoping for at least a referral to a specialist if nothing else.
you'd think if they were busy, they wouldn't mind passing you on...
maybe go to yellow pages. find specialist. call. tell them you need dr. to get a referral. often work closely with other drs. in area/building
oh, now they're saying they don't want us after all, since we never came in for initial appointments...is it our fault we don't get sick much? :P (they never said we should back then, either!)
sounds like a load of hooey to me
I haven't given up, will try something else tomorrow, going in for an annual checkup with my women's health Dr., thank goodness she hasn't thrown me out yet.
ask to speak directly to the doctor sometimes office staff think they're holier than thou
the worst they should do is try to bill you for a perceived missed app't
and I signed papers back then to have the kids' records sent to them, now they say they don't have them. sigh!
lucky to get dr. on phone...can't bill it?
must find records...go back to ped. dr.
yes, will get it sorted out. (hopefully!)
I still go up to Westford for my mammograms
he's 18 right?
yes
so easy, yeyt so hard...............
ped. should still see him? prob. have his records still
ped. should still see him? prob. have his records still
our health care system definitely needs an overhaul wonder if it will ever happen
if obama has his way it will
isn't there a bill in congress now?
nm, think that's a drug bill
past half way, I'm off to bed, goodnight all
be back in the morning
well done, flosey -- I've been doing other things as well as this so only have 27 words so far
gn flosey, sleep well
too much babbling; not enough babnble
they seem pretty well straight forward tonight

oh, did you read back? dr god was here just after flip
forgot to watch for nbt, have it
goodie
firewords
wtg dart

YAY Dart the Amazing!!!

WTG Dart
nbt

nj jilli
Oh well, I guess he was just letting us know he's around
TK, dart is always a whiz
nbt jil well done.
bet she can really
Jilli you may have mail (if i did it right)
type fast
i didnt see him...only got the message...connection problem..if it persists call dr god ...about 10 times
it was right before the flip, actually, I just looked...
i'm still waiting for babble expert. other request at same time as me got the (download?) 2 days ago
same time the troll crept in...
i stand corrected
what's the troll
little heathens who only want to curse and talk nonsense - pests.
just went back to the chat start -- no Dr G -- but I see from just below here that it was before the flip...
must have missed them. been in and out cooking
I believe this one seriously insulted Pini.
so...if there was a troll maybe that's what he meant by doing his duty -- getting rid of it
no carol at end, 2 nights running, guess she's given up
hello all :))
yay, got the an8
hiya mrp :)
that's probably it. there was someone that popped in asking how to play...didn't follow after that
had to duck out for a bit - back to finish last 23 words

yes, Lickety's list was up yesterday
my gremlins kept me from seeing it til today. it was a disaster. melded yesterday's list with one from day before
hi hi hi hi hi hi

I think I had something like that once a while ago. Don't remember what fixed it
hi josh
hiya, josh!
hi josh -- finished yet?
i had to delete everything manually, then copy/paste again.

Ah, yes, of course -- and a date
fireworks

No problem.
Hello
Hello herin.
hi fern
I just got a complete list of movie remakes I think i just said no about a bazillian times. How are you all
I'm fine, thanks.
good fern, and you?
Annoyed as its very windy
http://tinyurl.com/5lntc5 this is the list of movie remakes someone needs to stop the abomination.
Greetings all, how goes the grid today?
hi FM
Hi FM
Good afternoon FM - nice grid.
well, I am nbt with 112 left. a long way it seems
Hey Wolvie and good afternoon Haz.
You lot and your word finding. Bad for the eyes or the brain or something.
hi uni
Uni!!!!
Hello Uni. It's not great for the beam end either.
Ah so I can blame babble for my posterior then?
In living colour.
Are you still away visiting Uni?
Absolutely. It's about to be written up in the Lancet as a worrying new phenomenon. Not your posterior in particular, you understand.
Oh yes. We are looking to take in a theme park today, but the weather looks not good. Ah well. We will survive!
lol
I wonder if babble can be blamed for my posture as well? And/or posturing?
that's my excuse . ;-)
Theme parks in the rain are not too bad as you will get wet on the rides anyway :)
What's the theme of the park? Something tells me that with small boys in tow it won't feature needlecases and their manufacture.
Oh imagine a babble theme park!!
there is a cute little roller coaster and a water slide and a flume ride and things of that nature. It is an annual trip, always taken somewhere around my birthday
sorry almost used a plethora of ! but managed to keep it to just the two.
Yes, FM, get your creative juices flowing!
That sounds on the exciting part of civilised, Uni.
Hello all! FM, I love your Babble PB pic!
hi scrabbler
Good morning Scrabbler.
Only ever done 1 roller coaster, the one at Blackpool when I was a child. Wouldn't get me on one now unless I were to get a HUGE amount of money for doing it.
Indeed, civilized. I suppose it is not so much a theme park as an amusement park. I used to think such words were interchangable.
Hi Scrabs - have you only just seen them?
The theme part would have to contain some suitable punishment for trolls.
I still enjoy roller coasters, althoguh I don't know for how much longer.
I just now looked at them myself FM - very cool
On Sunday someone told me and I think I was given a link. Nice of you to put Hazel next to my fiance, George, just to make Hazel feel better and to keep the paparazzi away from me and George.
As a a child and teen one does things fearlessly but as you get older mortality kicks in
(Mentally patting Scrabbler on the head and mumuring soothing noises)
HI Scrabler
LOL Scrabs I put them together a couple of years ago now. HAve so many ideas for new versions but just no time to indulge right now.
*telling George that Hazel is delusional again*
Women in particular seem to have some physical change in their 20s/30s which makes them ill on rides. This is sped up by having children, it seems. I know no (biological) mothers who can do/like rides.
hello everyone
Perhaps you should consider polygamy? or an exchange program? Haz has george every other Sunday and Weds through fri and Scrabs gets him the rest of the time? Hello Liz!
Uni, I recall going on a very simple fairground ride with older daughter when I was pregnant with younger. I had to signal to get me off within about 15 seconds.
Yes, Uni, I did not have motion sickness as a kid but I did when older and now in the last few years I am ok again. Even just 5-6 yrs ago I puked on plane rides and I was ok with flying in April.
Well, hello Liz!
Hello Liz!
Hi Liz of Sark!
hi Liz
:) what a warm welcome :)
We've spotted a rare bird.
How is life on the Island of Sark?
Lifes good thanks Scrabbler :) And with all of you I hope?
May I remind you Haz and Scrabs that t'was I who had GC first and I lent him to Haz for a couple of weeks just to cheer her up and never saw him again.
All is good when we are in Babble Land!
much to generous FM. ;-)
LOL Uni...by the way...reading down the chog....I've always hated theme park rides but when we were just in Spain I went on loads of them and had a ball!
GC mentioned you, FM.
Rats, I have to get ready for work. Waaaaahhhh. Bye all. Enjoy the day.
I know Wolvie, but glad to see he hasn't forgotten me.
Lizie
Aha! Liz, you are putting holes in my theory. Now I will have to delete the chat so the opposition never occurred.
awe bye Scrabs.
Herin! Hello!
Bye Scrabbler. Keep taking the tablets, you know it's for the best.
LOL Uni, sorry! And I have two kids :)
Scrabs is away? Au revoir!
No, Uni, there's always an exception that proves the rule, and let's face it, Liz is pretty exceptional.
Yes, Hazel, my dose was increased, and with no apparent side effects either. I will keep smiling.
bye scrabb
Good for you, Scrabbler!
Maybe is the children are really really cute the motion sickness never kicks in? that would explain why Lori still doesn't do rides...
Someone has to stay by the coats.
LOL Haz I am just mad! Wait till I jump out the plane...
that was my job when an ex and I took his daughter to Chessington - I was quite happy to hold coats, bags and cameras.
Live dangerously :)
what will be next Liz? wing walking?
God no!!!!! I'm terrified enough of the parachute jump never mind wing walking - I have a terrible fear of heights!
Customers needing help...must go :) Have fun all x
I'm feeling sick thinking about it and I don't even have to do it.
bye liz
Bye Liz.
well. I just monkeyed my last 8 word. odd one
and I haven't found a single word yet - such is the way with chatting rather than babbling :)
lol - some days I do one, some another. :-)
Yes, but you'll find them once you set your mind to it.
the one would let a garden grow at its own pace. ;-)
Where is Lori, anyway? Surely she's not standing by coats already?
Indubitably Haz :)
either that or she has the hoover out again
hello all
FM, I will respond, I promise
Hello peri.
hello peri
Hi peri, no prob dear :)
Right I guess I had better gird my loins and get back to the long list of things to do and work, gah!
A shame - see you later, FM.
bye FM
I know but if I don't go now and do stuff I won't have time to babble later.
and I am out tomorrow as it is my Mums birthday.
You speak sense.
TTFN and Happy Babbling
Bye FM!

Hi all! I see we have a regular length grid today.
hi red!
Hello red. It's regular and friendly as well.
excellent to hear I can use friendly.
Now is my icon showing something like a butterfly? or still the samovar?
I have 5 left - went to the list with 20 left - and I am just not coming up with the we 6/33 - clue please?
butterfly if clicked on, samovar when not
Butterfly when you click on it.
we6 - past tense for we4/8
never mind - found that
good I just changed it. hi kje.
gm red
I love the coffee maker. :-)
hi kje
Yes, I figured it was time to retire it though. I took the butterfly this past weekend....
kje how your latest team?
Hello
hi herin

Nice!, Maybe you can miss some of the swime flu waves?
Hello
hi herin

good morning everyone;)

CROOOOOOSIE
:)))
Hi cross.
Happy freakin Tuesday, Babble buds!
hi judi

crossy,s hwere1 hide the women and children..scratch that dont hide the women..oww! wife saw that! say howdy to mrs. crossy everyone:)
Well done Wolvie.
Dang, Wolvie! Good job!
Hello cross, Mrs Cross, herin, Judi et al.
Yah WOlvie.
Hello, Mrs. Crossy. We've heard soooooo much about you!
Hi TO the sweetheart of Crosshair!
Cross i have a tshirt for you: http://tinyurl.com/agwqdb
love the shirt,but ill tell you one thing herin.those machines lie!! ive yet to get my bacon!
always sold out it seems:(
awww poor crossie
you know how silly i look standing there with a plasic bag under that thing and all that comes out is hot air?
Eeesh. My office is infested with tiny little ants today.
dont eat toast over your keyboard judi;)
Oh Judi thats awful.
That's not the problem,
morning, all.
hi angel
They were here in the spring. More ant traps are in order. What can I say. I have such alluring pheremones.
i use pet proof ant baits.they have some peanut butter mixed with ant poison that they take and carry back to the colony
the ants must be getting ready to create a new nest they swarm here before they do that
and hello everyone
well its blowing a gale here and raining and horrid and once again i missed it all
howdy jacq;)
heya crossy
Hiya, Jacq! I use regular old ant traps. No pets around here to worry about - just cops.
hi jac
crossy is angry..."droid" should be a word:(
hi jaq and anyone else i missed
lol
hello lady
It's going to storm this afternoon, but I'm glad of it... cools stuff off, its been so hot we have had fish kills due to heat only.
as any sf book lover should agree
heay Wolvie
any clues before I head out?
News says that they have actually ruled Michael jacksons death a Homicide... wow.
Yuck. Boiled fish.
have just started Wolvie, but thanks anyway
ahh do we have the final verdick on jacksons death?
I think his doctor had better start consulting lawyers.
verdict even
they say Propofol and a combo of other drugs.
okey doke - I will see everyone tomorrow!
tc wolvie
Bye Wolvie, have a good day.
bye wolvie
Bye Wolvie, have a great day!
clue for ma 6/24
ahh did a jim morrison eh?
He's been lawyered up for quite some time, Haz. The guy is screwed. I think he shoudl have just referred ol Jacko to a sleep clinic and had done with it.
He certainly seems to have been unwise in his prescriptions. I'm using understatement font.
It's a bit bizarre that anyone would think that was an appropriate use of that medication! and theres no real way that Jackson could have administered it to himself....
ma6/24 - a male, not he, not she but ** , wrap up with a vowel
rule #38 in the celebrety overdoing it hand book: "always sleep on your stomach whith your head hanging over the side of the bed"
I think lots of the doctors are going to get hung out to dry
TY Haz, I foudn that!
Crossie you are a bad bad man.
Hi Boo
Glad it worked, red.
True, red. He just kept throwing money at doctors until one agreed to use sedatives. Drug addicts will get their fixes by any means necessary.
hi red
i am indeed naughty herin
I think i just found a video website that solved the grumpy gusses
Haz I don't understand your clue
I hate to say it, but I am glad that the case is a bit high profile, because it does highlight the problems with prescriptions etc, and irresponsible use of medicine...
Oops. I just realized I should be sitting in the PB. For use of a bug word.
When you think about it, by the time he was dead, Michael Jackson was a prime example of the abuse of medicine and surgery.
enough money can bypass any set of rules that get laid down
Boo - try, ma, a baby louse, a vowel at the end.
mornin babblers!
Cross I just read that line totally wrong
heya Eva
Hello EvaN!
Hi Eva
how are we all this morning?
Hi, Eva! LOL, herin!
I'm well, cross is cross and Judi is besieged by an4/4.
Seriously I read that as ''enough money paid down can get you laid
Seriously I read that as ''enough money paid down can get you laid
also true
Hi eva. and herin this is probably also true.
ok I think i need bed if i am a) saying that b) typing this bad
ive seen big shots at our local airport get out of the car,go through a small gate,right onto the 12 seat executive jet and they are off in 10 minutes to the states,no customs or line ups.soo i imagine money can also by a blank rx pad with a person to fill them
lolololo. Actually, knowing Crossy, that's probably what he really meant.
lol herin that as well
Oh yes, Haz, MJ and the surgeries were really scary....
crossy was innocent,herin had the naughty mind
I know. Mind and body shattered - very sad.
looks around. I am innocent
uh huh
everyone here is innocent.
People are going to come forward any moment claiming to be Spartacus.
of course we are,now that we have that sorted out we can keep going with total abandon;)
clue for the 9 plz
I am not spartacus, I swear it
I am innocent. Really I am.
MM - mi9 - Christina Rosetti's bleak season (think Christmas carols)
Hiya, movieman. Try not to step in the innocence.
ta haz
and hi everyone
You're welcome.
I was never a fan of Christina Rosetti, sadly for me I am sure.
Ok i have to get up and go out at some unhuman time of the morning when its lovely and freezing
thats a amazing clue haz...if i had a clue who christina rosetti is:(
Ditto, Crossy.
She is a poet.
She was a poet, cross .
In the bleak 'mi9' frosty wind made moan... etc
morning babblers :)
tis the season that herin is in
Good morning Nono.
sadly i just know enough poetry to blindside some unsuspecting lass..turns out she saw right through me;/
Hi Nono.
Hiya, Nono!
morninig all!
i am happy to report that, despite having to have a needle in my arm yesterday, i am bruise-free! its a rarity!
well congrats evaN
Good morning Dorens.
Hi dorens nd congratulatios EvaN.
Just say no to purple, Eva!
yaa for eva! i bruise like crazy,they think they are ahab going after the white whale im sure of it;(
well good morning, good day and goodnight. I must go.

Bye herin.
bye herin
The cereal of Moby Dick: Call me Oatmeal.
hello all - could i please have a clue for the ma6/24
then they miss the vein and start moving it back and forth and left and right for ten minutes till i finally say"i think you have made enough hamburger at that spot,ho about tapping a new well?
ma6/24 - ma plus a louse egg, finish off with a vowel.
had to be sure to play it up for the BF all day yesterday, but now im back to work...hehe
hi Ursh
that was bad judi..groan
ty haz
You're welcome, ursh.
now,everyone get your mind out of the gutter and come down to the se*** with mine:)
phantom = how i feel this morning. dimw**
<--- first time player: can u NOT use a letter the same time in one word?
"Tudor" is not accepted. Hmmph.
No, a letter can only be used once in each word.
if you mean twice, afflamed, then no you cannot
That would be correct, afflamed. And welcome!
kk ty
Right, I must get something else done. Enjoy the grid! Bye for now.
bye bye Haz
think this might be the fastest nbt i've ever gotten, but then again it might be the first time i paid attention to that
Bye!
i can save my words and come back to them later (like after work) ?
later haz
I'm over half way, but not NBT. I a still missing the I. inthe middle, looking now.
yes afflamed, they are automatically saved
Bye haz, have a great day!!!
or whats left of your day.
red it is a frequent word in the grid, for what that's worth
nice. Ive got to show my BF this game he'll go crazy over it.....too. :))
going crazy is an apt expression. many of us are seriously afflicted
Ok now I am no blank tiles.
bbs
wtg red
lol He and I live on opposite ends of the USA and we play online to connect. WOW is our main game
and AFFLICTED is my main name on most of our games
welcome aboard afflamed,i must warn you this game is a tad addictive
only a tad, crossy??
well,not really ive quit many times;)
crossys first lovei s bacon.
hehe
one day the word bacon will appear in a grid and the circle of life will be finished
word games are my true addiction, and adventure games like oblivion, world of warcraft and fnal fantasy
Please tell me Mrs. Crossy is rated above bacon.
lol afflamed,im going through oblivion as we speak;)
she is indeed judi
I seem to lately have a running problem, hve not finished too many grids lately, though yesterday I did lol....
though she draws the line at bacon perfume;(
i love that game, I always end game then start a new character lol
who could possibly not finish yesterdays grid... it was soooo tiny
in WOW its impossible to endgame, which is nice, theres always more to do
I almost didnt Nono! partly because I worked.
I agree, Nono. It took me about 18 minutes to finish that. Irritating really.
lol afflamed,wife has played it three times through,this is my first(couldnt get it away from her)
yes Judi, I was all set for a nice sit down at the puter and it only took me about 15 minutes give or take a couple and it was done, leaving me no excuse for not getting some work done
Well I would like to see a much larger grid on a day I have off....
hi everyone; welcome to Babble, afflamed (-:
hi aloy
morning Aloy!
want fun with oblivion afflamed? go through it as a magic user,no bows no blades hehe only what you create with alchemy
howdy aloy!
ty! i thot aint was finally in the dictionary? (not a personal preferance BTW)
Hello Aloy, How are you?
welcome to the Enable dictionary, afflamed... a world unto itslef
Afflamed, this game uses a rather old dictionary, but aint is not a word.
lol ill try that, I always pick alchemy as a focus, love herbalism.
was doing super duper till I went for a physical yesterday and got a pneumonia shot.. feel icky today
Oh aloy, I am sorry.
oh, sorry aloy... nice we have a decent sized grid for you
reminds me,to ask the doc about h1n1 shots.they are sposed to have the first bach ready here for nov
hey, where's tragic st**.. haven't seen her lately and she's in the grid today
chatting with Babblers makes me feel better (-:
I recvd 1 flu type shot and had the worse year ever so Im never doing that again, I trust my antibodies
oops, lost my eyeballs, lol
hah, aloy. and when the grid is this size there's usually more chat, it seems
i would get it every year afflamed,you havent lived till your white cell count has been zero for a bit:0
red I have a question about the swine flu shot.... as a primary care giver for someone who is prone to pneumonia and chf, should I get the shot?
(the hah was at losing your eyeballs, by the way)
yes
Probably Nono, its a two shot series, plus the regular flu shot, but yes. you probably should get it.
oh i get a flu shot every year.... the flu is a far worse alternative
I admit, i never get the flu shot.
Plus it appears that I had the swine flu back in june.
bad red,bad
ok will have to arrange it with my doctor then
oh my red
Well, I wash my hands and have rarely gotten the flu.
wow, did you really red?
ooh, not good, red.. how long did it last?
The swine flu itself is not that bad, but if you have problems like asthma, COPD, its bad.
I had mono for 16 months 4 years ago - ugh the worst but Ive been good ever since. For some reason teh flu shot made my antibodies take a year off.
spend one winter laying on your back breathing through a straw and you get enlightenment in a hurry
ABout 6 days, the hoopla about the flu is amazing. Its actually milder than the regular flu.
but red, it has killed... you had a mild case and that is good, but it has killed children
dang it work requires me to get ready - Nice to meet u all and Im sure Ill be back....
Yes, as does the regular flu each year.
bye bye afflamed have a good day and come back soon
People forget the regular flu kills children and adults each year.
i agree the media overblows these things... sensationalism is rampant in the news
i think a lot of the hoopla about swine flu is because it appeared in a non traditional season for flu
phantom: dimwit
actually on your stomach while someone pounds yer sides to loosen the mucus:( lol well we have dextromethorapan(sp) for that now lol
But I also wear a special respirator mask any time I now come into contact with patients with the flu.
I had a patient come into the er the other day with obvious flu/cold symptoms and he thought he could just not wear a mask, well...he found out differently.
clue for mi 9 pls
in the midst of the colder season.
lol red,when i was ill ,i was the one to mask up to protect me from everyone else lol
Twist Shakespeare's "A Mi*Summer's Night Dream"
crossy hates those masks;(
LOL . *imagines red clamping a mask on an unwilling patient* Cootie Patrol!
Cross, with your Cancer hx I imagine you were neutropenic.
indeed red,
yup, Mask On.. or git out
good clue aloy:)
Yes, I think the pt was very selfish. Most of the time once we point out that they feel bad, dont want others to feel so bad, they pop it on....but this guy...
I dont really mind the mask, but I am probably one of the few, all the staff are complaining.
red,you hear bout that dr in the states who refuses to treat smokers unless they quit? cant recall the name...
I didnt...and that seems a bit unrealistic. Hard to really tell if a person has quit or not.
can agree or disagree,though it must be agrivating as hell treating a patient for lung ailments for 2 years and watching them light up when they get back to thier car
I think for some people once they find they have Lung Ca, they just decide not to bother to quit, I mean, they think, "what worse can happen?"
i see it at the princess magrett lodge all the time here
my dad's doctor told hiim it just didn't matter much when he was diagnosed with endstage lung ca. he certainly didn't smoke much then tho
I think Dorens that your dads doc was correct, at the end there, I mean, really? What worse can happen....
But with EMphysema, its possible to slightly improve lung function by quitting.
oh absolutely, red
if your to the point of pallative care,then yes i can agree
i can't understand how one can smoke with emphysema
It is a very strong addiction, and I think its pretty hard to break....
well. halfway and nbt.. i either list or go do something productive... much to do today
Alright, I need to take a small nap, Will be back for 89 more words. Have a happy daya ll.
kk tc red
you too red
have a good snooze, red.. (-:

Lovely.

Hello, Babblers! How are you today???
and somebody tell me what the 9 starts with
TOGs are doing well. I'm looking forward to school more than they are, but they're excited about gathering their school supplies... We've been doing lots of biking recently... and enough swimming that TOG-boy got swimmer's ear...

na****, sorry
glorious and too funny for anything :)
=D
:)
My granddaughter lives with me...she has a blankie that is crocheted. She puts it over her head, and walks around, looking like a little ghost! Too cute- she is going to be 2 the 7th
speaking of Great, i have been calling the cats "Marty the Great" etc. and i said something to husband about a list of Greats - Peter, Catherine, Sheila...
awwwwww
and he was like, "Sheila?????"
i guess he was never a preteen girl.
I'm like "Sheila???' too.
vi, i was counting on you!
me, too
ANd I even was a preteen girl once.
did none of you read judy blume???
Thought not a very good one, when it came to pop culture.
sheila??
Ahhh, that explains it. Couldn't stand Judy Blume! lol
nope!
Judy Blume was way to recent for me
My prude of a mother would not allow her books in our house....
and I had a son so no never read much
well, one of her books is "Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great".
she was pretty much banned over here!
hi all
Ah yes, I recognize the title.
Hi, jm
banned???
Banned? It was practically the opposite over here. She was SO in.
banned.
well, not officially banned! but generally considered inappropriate
hmmmm
God forbid, I should read a book that talked about getting your period....
oh really lol!
trying to figure out how inappropriate she could be
Nobody minded if we read books about periods, but I thought why on earth would I want to?
What is so funny is that when I was NOT around her, I talked like a sailor and cracked people up
but I was at the start of her popularity, so everyone was just shocked at the content lol
what little I read I didn't like that much but never seemed bad enough to censor
Can't think of anything less interesting!
but sheila and the turtle books and stuff didn't have that sort of stuff in them anyway.
don't think that was the main thrust of the book, vi, just happened to happen
No, but my mother was not a real reader...reading to her was tackling "Good Housekeeping"
I was stuck with my son reading these really boring sport books that were all exactly the same
boys sports books are boring, but scifi was what my boys liked most
but I read better books to him -- Once and Future King, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, The Three Muskateers
Well, in my opinion, all these "real kids with real issues" books are all exactly the same, too! lol
I am with you vic
I met my husband -to-be in 8th grade, and he introduced me to Robert Heinlein and Asimov and all those great ones... my mother didn't mind those for some reason
I just lived on Ursula le Guin and Tolkien and stuff like that
hey everyone
Hey, Jen
these days, it seems, anything that will get these kids out from the video games and reading the written word is considered a godsend
Yeah, I was fantasy through and through when I had my choice.
I got tired of Sci Fi in the 9th grade. Assimov was good but Robert Heinlein always read like a teenage boy's wet dream
Hello, JenMO.
i liked the babysitters' club :)
hi Jen
You got that right! I mean- making love to your daughter????
On the subject of books, I managed to read all seven Harry Potters in less than two weeks!!!!
and sweet valley
and nancy drew
Alan Garner *bliss*
Not to mention Stranger in a Strange Land where the leader screwed all the adoring women and knocked them up
But I couldn't help laughing and rolling my eyes (strictly internally, mind you) when my daughter's teacher recommended she read Junie B. Jones instead of fairy books, because it's more real...
My Favorite books were horse books, especially "The Black Stallion"- I had that one memorized!
When we got home I explained to my kids that Junie B. Jones is just as much fantasy as "Fairy Chronicles."
teachers have no business recommending INSTEAD OF reading!!!!
ooo all the Horsey books were good
you must read Alan Garner books to the ToG in a few years, Vi
Oh, yeah- and pretending that your bike was a Palimino with all the trimmings....
sp.
Never read Alan Garner, Ata. I'll check it out.
I loved reading aloud to my son -- we would read the book -- like To Kill a Mocking Bird -- and then watch the movie and talk about how they were different
I love reading aloud, too.
But the best was Once and Future King --- the best book I have ever read I think
*fa6* you really must. for yourself and the kids. Elidor, Weirdstone of Brisingamen, Moon of Gomrath etc. They are another attempt at English mythology, and he manages it better than Tolkien
My daughter HATES the movies they make from books...
Sounds intriguing.
*throws water at Ata's face*
I'm on a crusade to bring Alan Garner to Americans!
I just love Babble chat! You never know...you just never know!
it is TH White and the basis for Sword in the Stone among other things
On the subject of books, I managed to read all seven Harry Potters in less than two weeks!!!!
vic why are you throwing water at Ata?
Did you enjoy them, movieman?
cos she's mean
Because I made her fa5, jmc!
they are very readable mm
MM, that was a feat I could not do...
Certainly did, vic
Good! =)
you guys!
(or not)
I'll probably read them again in a month or so
I ordered the boxset from Amazon for £35
gee, i wish i could read that quickly... so many books to read, so little time (thanks to babble?)
seems like if you made her fa5 you should throw the water in her face
I thought I did!
I finally finished Potter -- they are my airplane reading material
I remember a "For Better or Worse" comic one day...Grandpa had come to saty, and was sleeping in the little girl's room...the last frame showed him in her bed, reading Harry potter and plugged into headphones, while the daughter of the house slept in the basement!
Morning all. Movieman, it's time for me to re-read them all again too. Wonderful, rich writing!
Ata, I threw water on your face, didn't I?
I thought ata made you vic fa5? I am confused as usual
hi ch1212
Although on occasions I did stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning reading them
yep *wipes face*
lol, jmc! Well, everyone just put on goggles and jump in the water, and it won't matter any more.
Of course, MM...how else do you tackle Harry Potter but in big gulps???
*splash*
Water Fight! Water Fight!
*adjusts snorkel*
I carry the hose! *spppppppppppppllllassssssssshhhh*
*movie aims his water uzi at jai*
Movieman, I am certain you have seen District 9. My beloved and I went last weekend ----absolutely stunning. The best of science-fiction in the old school tradition of juxtaposition, and commentary on our current culture.
*moves towel pile out of the way*
hello all. *ducks and quacks*
Have we had a Health and Safety Risk Assessment carried out yet?
Not yet, ch, but I will do!!!!!
*hurls large water balloon at Haz*
*Jai screams and says, "I'll melt! I'll melt!"
*filling water balloons*
Ooops - didn't mean to get in the middle of the water fight. (I can chat later after the fight subsides) :)
*Points hose at Haz and Stidmama
haz!!!
*puts large bubble around CH to protect her*
*empties bucket over stidmama*
*points hose at ch1212*
:-D THIS IS SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!! *running around in the water*
Haz always babbles in mackintosh and souwester with umbrella on standby.
*turns on the sprinkler system*
*gasp! snags hidden hose and lets Vi have it*
clue for ti 7 pls
Good thinking, Haz. A wise precaution.
*stops and watches rainbows in the water*
"I'm melting! Oh, you horrible people, ruining my precious wickedness......* <fades>
*points hose at boo*

You're letting me have the hose, stidmama? Why thank you! ;)
more shy boo
great clue jai and jmc
rofl at jai
rolf
<smile>
*looks in cupboard for dry towels*
Uh oh. Should we gather jai's remains and try to dry them out, or should we just wash away the mess?
I think if she drys off she will be okay -- only the wickedness ashed away
I am NOT a mess...I am turning into a ghost and rattling my chains at you
*washed
*grabs red slippers from remains of jai and RUNS*
(I want to go to Rome, I want to go to Rome...)
*fierce look at stid* put them back stid!
*Oh, I'll get you for that* <runs after Stiddie>
Wait, those weren't red slippers, they were red FLIPPERS! I don't think jai's allergic to water at all!
nononono! finders keepers. They's mine and I am going to the eternal city to eat gelatos and spaghetti until I pop!!!!!
My wickedness is! LOL!
stid that is not finders keepers that is stealing
I guess that's the theory behind baptism, eh?
bad stid
(giggling and cheering all on from the safety of the bleachers)
Just don't pop in the Sistine Chapel. They'd have problems repainting.
er something like that vic
Just don't clack the heels together or you will find yourself in a dry, dusty farmhouse , all in black and white....
*unable to hear jmc as I am stuffing face with ravioli*
*wakes up and asks....* Auntie M? are you there?
As long as she doesn't turn the Sistine Chapel black-and-white...
you're home stid!
"I saw you...and you...and you...and you,...."
*slips the flippers from stids hand*
well, drat. was hoping to be someplace the dishes don't need doing. oh well *shrug* at least it ain't Kansas
(say that three times fast)
LOL enjoy jmc!
On the 30th I actually have an audition to play the Wicked Witch of the West!
* hands jai back her flippers*
Only here would a water fight turn into a trip to Oz.....
ooooh Vi! I think you'll make a GREAT wicked witch!
well glad to help you practice vic
Excuse me all this running around in babbleland is against the health and safety rules !!
*TY*
*checking rule book*
CAITLYN!!! ((((((((hugs)))))))) hello!!!!!
It's been a lifelong dream, stidmama. I have to decide wether or not to try for Glinda as a back-up.
Good afternoon all (((stid )) great to see you
no it says in chapter 7 that running around in the chog is encouraged
Hello, caitlyn!
hi caitlyn
Wow. *tries to imagine Vi in pink*
I tried to tell them, caitlyn. Thank goodness for another voice of sanity.
caitlyn, are you a spoilsport????? We like to get all wet and run aorund in cyberland...Oz...whereever......
Scarier than the Wicked Witch, isn't it! lol
:-P
Vi, as long as it's not type casting! :D (I'm sure it's not.)
jmc if you read chapter 9 sub section 2b you will see the rule has changed.
*shudder* I think green is more your color... LOL
Im not really a spoil sport lol
Well, it wouldn't be right for me to say, ch1212! ;)
wait a minute... *peruses ch 9 sub 2b* THIS IS WRITTEN IN CRAYON!!!!!
But chapter 11 subsection 6d voids all changes not sent in writing more than six years in a dvaenc
*advance
Its the only thing I could find
LOL. My daughter is playing the character of Lucy in You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, and the family is trying hard not to laugh too much at that!
rofl. this is just too much fun.
hmmm if it is in crayon maybe it was done in time
HA! NBT!
Haz hide the crayons
how old were you when you wrote it cait?
wtg stid
Hand check! Everyone hold out your hands and we'll see who has wax under their nails.
We can't have unauthorised use of the crayons. It's the thin end of the wedge.
They'll be using highlighter pens next.
*checking rule book*
True, Haz. When you start with crayons you never know when you might end up with... *gasp* IMAGINATION! *shudder*
Or crayon around their mouths -- I remember munching on a few as a kid :) LOL Haz.
*holds hands out hoping no one notices uneven nail lengths*
*tossing rule book in water*
oh no! it's MELTING!!!!
all I have is mud under my nails
that's a good place for the rule book
Well, if any scraping of nails and examination of evidence is to be done, I vote for CSI New York to be employed.
Haha it has stopped you running around for 5 mins to cool off, so it has worked
I liked the regular CSI better
pooh cait we were about done when you showed up! :-P
LOL
*gasp* caitlyn! *readies water balloons*
Call in Mac and Stella, Haz
*puts the towels back in the cupboard to stay dry*
100 words!!!
Diversion tactics are always good. You shouldn't mess with caitlyn, she has policemen in the family. 'Move along there'
wtg stid
So, I am going to take a break from this madness and go eat breakfast before I head into town.
Oh, that caitlyn! She just wanted to distract us so she could swim laps by herself. Booooring.
cu stid
Bye stidmama.
I need to find a dill pickle recipe bbl
So glad to see you-all. If FM shows up, tell her hello please. *poof*
Bye, stidmama! Don't forget to take a few crayons along for a snack!
Well I needed time by myself Vic Bye stid see you soon
And bye, jmc. Don't forget to add a few pickled crayons for extra color!
bye stid -- I'm right behind you (swinging door closed)
mmmmm pickled crayons *poof*
Bye, ch1212. I don't need to remind you to bring crayons.
la la la still here, on phone
*looks around* Well. Who's left?
Oh dear wondering if people are leaving because I stopped them running around
Bye ch1212
Hi Ata !! How are you?
good ty!
*caitlyn's guiltmonster rears its ugly no-fun head*
got a last glance before closing the window -- I really just need a pickle recipe caitlyn {{{hugs}}}
Oh that wont work Vi I have had children !!
*poof for real*
Bye jmc
Never you listen to her, caitlyn. They need to be kept on the straight and narrow.
I know Haz
She's the one who brought it up, not me!
There's Vicuna doing the backstroke....
And she is splashing !
Nonsense. And I quote,"Oh dear wondering if people are leaving because I stopped them running around"
That looks like a guiltmonster to me!
LOL
ANd it's the guiltmonster who's splashing you. I'm the one sitting here on the edge thinking about lunch.
You can tell the difference because I am vastly lovelier.
Oh Vi I dont think you love me any more
Oh, and now the guiltmonster has company - the self-pity-monster! LOL
(Of course I love you, caitlyn, dear!)
Are they breeding? I don't think that should be allowed either.
They are all banned from my house!
Proper order, caitlyn.
But if you wish to believe that I'm leaving now because of all the terrible things you've done, well, I can't help that, can I? ;)
(Really, I must go fix lunch. See you all later!)
You cant put that on me, I refuse to take it.I know you are going to have lunch
See you later, Vicuna!
Bye Vi
Oh we have a bright light outside the window.
The sun?
I think so
I had forgotten what it looks like.
there's a liiiiiight over at the frankenstein place
We've had more glimpses of it than last summer, but heavy rain at times as well.
Are you calling ME a monster Ata :)
noooooo!
LOL
Is your jet lag all gone, Ata?
nooooooo!
Ata are you still in the USA or home now?
hoooooooome!
Are you having difficulty removing your finger from the o key?
Welcome home, did you have a good time?
nooooooo lol
I did! I might be going back earlier than I thought too ...
Do tell!
Oh work, fun or emigrating?
Im holding my breath here!!
um ... well ... I always assumed I'd be moving over there at some point, with Hobbit. But last night husband and I had huge argument over - get this - the fact I bought oatmeal and raisin cookies - and told me to leave the house. of course I didnt, but I don't think we'll be togther for much longer!
Oh Ata thats sad, Im sure it will sort its self out.
it's sad, but inevitable
How long have you been together?
Were they really, really expensive cookies?
no! they were a bad use of his money or something
His money !!
He's obviously trying to claw back the money for the new door.
yes, his money. absolutely
This is not good. (I'm using the understatement font again)
Did he leave last night as you rightly didnt? (and did he eat the cookies?)
nope, he stomped upstairs ad refused to talk to me
no, I ate the cookies. big issue
Oh Ata I feel for you
*sigh*
hello, ata ...it sounds like he is picking fights so that when there is a separation he can blame you and not himself
Hi phae
hello everyone
hi all, dont mean to intrude Ata...but he sounds just like my guy!
oh yes ... everything is my fault!
Hi lou
hi cait
men!
g'day
Ata did he go to America with you?
Hi josh
hey josh
nooooo, he was Busy
Not all men, Ata, not all.
I think things are looking a bit clearer now.
oh, i didn't come prepared to defend my gender - can i take a pass without letting all the other men down this time?
Of course you can josh
we all know there are good ones and bad ones of both sexes
Absolutely true.
oh yes
sorry josh :)
s'ok. i certainly have done my share of "women, huh?" type complaining to my mates

less terrible maybe, but not better :)
hi all!
hi Ata
ach! why are your meetings so long??
{{{{{{{ATA}}}}}}}} did you have a good time away?
hi ata
wonderful, yes!
we have 32 projects to go through and feel the need to discuss every one of them, we also need to find out about policy decisions. As we get them approved and signed up it should be shorter, lets hope so
it's nice to have you back
for a while *she says darkly*
gosh I hope so --- you have to discuss each one every time? you couldn't like group them?
that is the second time today you have suggested you are going away again ata --- what's up?
unfortunately not at this stage, some issues are a repeat so we get quicker as we go through it
ata? dark?
j your turn. yours too ata
I think a 2 hour walk is just creeping to your dog lol
husband telling me to leave *his* house cos I ate a pack of oatmeal and raisin cookies yesterday. divorce looms!
oh and people took you so seriously on facebook!
lol!
lol and I thought that after the phantom phleas he couldn't get any more childish
its true though!
what I just took my turn!
go again
apparently I spend all his money recklessly, and he can't deal with sustaining my "lifestyle"
cookies?
there dorens :-P
of course not. Oatmeal and raisin cookies... extravagant!
exactly, sprite!
cookies as a lifestyle?
hmmmmm have you tried "half of everything" on him for size and see how his "lifestyle" changes!!
*imagining cookie bars where people lie on sofas indulging in cooies--haze covers their shame*
cookies are deeply significant lol
those cookies are a symbol here. Come to the dark side... you know why!
absolutely!
huh?
*rushes off to clear house of all cookies, significance like that I could do without*
dark chocolate?
so he told me to leave the house last night cos he couldnt deal with me. I ignored him
that was the proper response
'Thinking - husband/cookies....cookies/husband.... .' ???? Hmm I know which I would pick - any day!!
hand him his car keys next time he says it, honestly mid life crisis?
lol so you should. Since when is it HIS house? Perhaps you can tell him there are cookies outside the house?
since I don't eat sugar I guess I would be stuck with the hubby
lol Soodle!
oatmeal raisin cookies are worth it, though. were they good?
I'll keep my hubby over cookies but that is only because he maintains my "lifestyle"
obviously he has something else on his mind -- I hope it clears up
your turn j
:-P
I picked the sw5est hubby in the world, so I wouldn't pick the cookies. But luckily I can have both!
and if they were homemade, and fresh baked......
now Doren don't make me waiver on my choice lol
seriously Ata you OK?
fireflies btw. Ata, if you ever need a place to stay for a bit, just call and I will send my love to canoe you and yours to our place.
they were *really* good, and so necessary cos I'd been on a long walk with the dog and got lost in the woods, it was just a tiny bit creept. needed sugar!
awwww thank you dear
*creepy
congrats sprite
Ata - I am very familiar with the Male Mid-life Crisis. My ex had a pretty spectacular mid-life crisis. they can go pretty bonkers!
Way to go spritey!!
whoo hoo sprite
what was freaky it that he'd either gone through the rubbish bin to see what I'd bought or got through every item on my tesco receipt
and "ex" being the key word here, lol
and absolutely - I'm not leaving, he can if he's having an angst fit. I have animals to look after!
Yikes. Ata! How old is he?
hang on a minute they weren't even his cookies, seriously I wouldn't have controlled myself
oo ata I am sorry -- we are joking and he has obviously turned this into a real thing
36
I didnt. I really yelled at him. Which I hate doing, but I just couldn't take that
it is as silly as the fleas, Ata. Let him find a nice little apartment, sterile and white and free of living things and filled up with cookies.
he has a problem, ata?
give him a hug and ask him what is worrying him
And is this behaviour out of character for him?
tell him something he did this week that you appreciated
he has no problem. He IS a problem.
36 is too young for midlife these days
no, he's been being an idiot for about 2 years now. Sprite knows! this is just the last straw, and I'm not putting up with it!
now I don't want you to get paranoid but my ex turned funny at the same age, lost loads of weight, criticised me for not and generally everything I did was wrong.
36 IS midlife for some people who only live to their 70s
and jmc - it *is* funny - it's just stupid and silly - just real as well
this is too sad
wtg Ata! Chin up and spine strong, and stay proud of yourself. He is acting like a silly, petulant kid.
sounds very familiar, katie. I even got a lecture on not sticking to weight watchers yesterday with the cookies! me: yeah, I know. I'm not worried. deal!
well it is funny I agree (let me tell you brain tumor jokes sometime) but I want to be supportive of you too
Ata! Life is short. Too short to put up with that sort of gob-shitery. You know yourself - you deserve better than than. I don't need to tell you than.
we once had a blazing row because I had burnt his dinner and I had to point out that I had been cooking his dinner for 10 years and only burnt it once.....he learnt to cook.......he burnt it a lot more often lol
doesn't sound good, does it ata? and speaking of midlife crises, my ex turned 40 and then that was it....moped around in a dark mood for five months and then told me we were getting divorced. no ifs ands of buts
does he have redeeming qualities, ata?
my husband and I got through some rocky times by making sure we told each other something each day that the other had done that we liked -- sometimes it was really really hard to think of something
exactly. to be honest, he;s just given me an excuse to tell him where to go. he's been a nightmare for too long, and I'm too nice generally
right now? none! well. um. he fixes my html coding for me ...
I didn't realise how bad things were until I was out, good on you for knowing.
does that offset him berating you for eating cookies?
You can pay someone to fix your coding
it is not a question of offset. things are not tit for tat.
sorry I am clearly out of sync with everyone else
it is a great technique, jmc, but it might be too late for that? It is not a recent thing, as Ata said already.
I will come back later.
we were very close to divorce sprite
no it doesn't! and actually I feel almost calm now because he has set my path for me. I'm not dealing with feeling guilty about eating a cookie for goodness sake! Sometimes the little things just kill you
stay jmc!
bye jmc *hug*
My counsellor asked me what I would miss when ex & I split (I'd taken it badly) and when I did the list there wasn't one thing that was specific to him rather than just someone in your life
if you want ata but I argue for the effort even after two years of nonsense
jmc your opinion would be valued, a different experience is always worthwhile
I'd love to be able to do something like jmc said. About 4 days out of 7 I don't even *see* husband though. I totally don't know him anymore
if both partners would participate, it might do a lot of good, jmc.
have you ever had counsleing?
we joined a couples support group
we started the process ourselves of appreciating each other each evening.
but it really takes two who will put in loads of effort, or it will not work.
we would do three things: I appreciated you today for. .
Same here Katie. I found that it was the fear of being on my own which kept me with a control-freak. When matters were taken out of my hands (he just ran away) I found that life was in fact better. Our standard of living went down, but quality of life soared.
THe best thing that happened to day was. ..
although listening to you today, it seems like it might be late for that, sounds like you have little to appreciate right now
My gift to you today was. ...
I *want* to argue for the effort, but when I know the effort will be worse for me than saying "enough" ... that makes no sense, I think, but I have very bad depression stuff and bipolar depression and another year of this will send that screwy as hell, I can feel it, adn I'm not prepared to live through that for any man!
that is pretty intensive, jmc! Good for you both.
oh that fear of being alone..... haunted me. and now, even tho i have a terrific man in my life, I seem to need my alone time and space, I really have grown to like it
*is making a note of jmc's words*
we found that by concentrating on the positive on both sides we got over the rocky parts better.
even though some times we would say "Appreciate me, G*d D**n it, and it better be good" lol
if you can find positive, then it is certainly a good thing... it is certainly worth trying
my ex told me he would never marry me as I was too fat to be his bride, it all ended there and then
roflol, if you can laugh together like that, you are almost halfway already :)
OUCH
the primary reason people break up is because of lack of communication and not really looking for the positive
You should break up with him katie! ouch
that man wasn't worth a nanogram of your love, time or energy, Katie!
any way I know I sound like little mary sunshine here
I had my hair done a few weeks ago, and he just looked at the result in utter disgust and said it looked awful, he hated it, and wasted his money *facepalm*
and thank goodness you do, jmc!
jmc, please, you don't at all. It is great input.
(and check out my new pic for a joyful thing!)
but when my husband went deaf we were blessed because we were forced to communicate intentionaly
wow, yes, I can see that
great photo ata!
that was this morning :)
Ah!! A deaf husband. Now thats something to envy!!!
great pic, Ata, I really don't understand what his problem was with they way your hair looks there
and the gift thing was really important because it is easy not to see when someone is being nice to you.
it didnt' conform to his standard of what I should look like
my husband always brought me tea with honey and lemon when I was sick and I HATE tea with lemon and honey
but he *thought* of you
I am not sure I'd call it a blessing, jmc, but you seem to have managed to handle it positively
I bet it were the fluffy black ears he didn't like ;)
yes but I could have thought--we;ve been together x years you'd think he'd know by now I hate honey in my tea!
Ata. Look at the chog. Rooting through rubbish bins? Examining your Tesco receipts? telling you your new hairdo is horrible? The man is a waste of time and space
I know - it's just got to a stupid state now. Of course today he's all "I'm sorry I didn't mean it". But this time, I'm not accepting it
why not ata? maybe he is concerned about your health?
to back up the other side I have really close friends who nearly split at the same time as us, they had talked about who moved out and where to etc. To give the ex credit he phone up the one who was going to leave and told them that they could be making the worst decision of their lives and to at least talk, he was in tears when he told her. 4 years on they are great together and show that it can be worked through
because ... he's chosen to go out tonight rather than come home and talk about it. among other reasons!
you have tough decisions to make ssorry i was gone, i just had someone come to luck at my crumbling chimney flues
and because I was almost scared of him last night, and I refuse to allow myself to get into that situation
maybe he's embarrassed
it is not like you haven't done about everything to get through this together, Ata. But you cannot do it alone. And I think it is important to keep your self respect. He's been very hurtful for a long time and you suffered seriously. No relation is worth going bananas over.
not crumbling flues! sounds awfully diseasy
no just awfully expensive, i'm waiting for them to come up with the estimate
well as sprite noted this has been going on for a while and I don't know the whole story.
Do you have any kids, Ata?
he's not embarrassed, he informed me that we were not discussing the issue any more cos he was right and I needed to see that!
106 words of 227 -- first time playing, gonna call it quits for today. no fireworks, sadly.
nope, no kids, thank goodness
ohhhh doesn't sound good
and you should never be afraid of your partner
Aimsly, that is terrific! Fireworks are an extra, not a must. I hope you enjoyed yourself.
i don't mean about the no kids, just his not talking now
How long have you two been together?
do you have joint accounts?
When I had been single for about 6 months I had to work late I was driving home (to my own house) and couldn't work out what was wrong, I suddenly realised that I didn't have a fist of fear in my tummy about the cold shoulder there would be because I hadn't made it home in time to cook dinner
aimsly
oh yes, jmc, he's pulled this sort of weird shit for ages now. invisible fleas in his side of the bed so the bed clothes needed changing every other day for months, my car being inhabited by his dead mother;s spirit ... all sorts of things!
Thanks Sprite - see everyone later. Ata, take care of yourself <3
good job aims
didn't realise that I had fear until it had gone!
wtg aimsly bye *waves*
absolutely Katie - that's why I always run to Oregon for a month or so of just not having that constant tension
yay aimsly!
if you have joint accounts you need to go first thing in the morning to close them.
sheezzzz Katie, ouch. Being single after that guy must have been quite a relief. As heaven.
*lawyer kicking in*
bye aimsly be proud of yourself
ditto what j said
very good advice!
hubby is still a revalation of loveliness, he's not perfect just perfect for me
okay I need to run to the farmers market {{{{{ata}}}}}
yes, and I want to go and see a solicitor to at least see what options I have and their outcomes. I'd rather know these things!
I am full of good advice!!! LOL
bye jmc
bye jmc x
ty ty for your advice jmc
bbl
whenever you're ready j
the knowledge is certainly worth having Ata, I would get that advice quickly so you know where you stand and what you can do about it.
Katie, imagine how it would be if our hubbies were really perfect! I'd kick him out. I swear. My love has a load of oddities (as have I) but he is loving and warm and supportive to me. What more can I ask?
I was married 20 years - 3 kids. 2 yrs ago, he vanished. Police traced his credit cards to Bangkok. (he is 54!) Haven't seen him since then. He phones occasionally, drunk as a lord - blaming everything on me!
oh ata - that picture IS fantastic
oh joy! what a man!
Hi people. Ata, I'm just catching up in the chog and I want you to know that he sounds mentally off.
ewww soodle, sounds dreadful
ty dorens, it makes me smile!
exactly sprite. If I have to work late he greets me with a glass of wine and a hug :-)
Does not contact the kids at all. Our son turned 19 today, and he got an email from his dad, wishing him a happy birthday.
craziness, Soodle. Cruel on you! Must have had a helluva time.
good, you must keep smiling. lucky you that you can!
one of my best friends had something suspiciously simialr happen - husband vanishing to Bangkok!
At least they have you Soodle, just as well!
Lol ATA, maybe they are hooked up together!!
song from chess... one night in bangkok and thte worlds' your oyster
lol yes... the bars are temples but the pearls ain't free!
I think they might be!!
seriously can't they just buy a whole new wardrobe and dye their hair like women do
Dorens ...I hope its crabs, not oysters!!!! lol
LMAO soodle
haha soodle
I think it wouldn't matter much what someone would do to get through a midlife crisis, as long as it wouldn't make him hurtful to others. Putting someone down constantly is a very cruel thing to do. Leaving wife and kids like that too, btw.
some very interesting news for all you bibliophiles... http://dvice.com/archives/2009/08/new- wireless-so.php
some men just have a defective gene, and turn into total a**holes midlife
How is the grid today? I'm just coming to; had a coloscopy this AM and don't know if I want to think hard this evening
they do! why is that?
pardon? you said what about poor ole crossy?
Hey - who is the winner? I have my 3 kids. what has he got? He is 54 - looking down the barrel of old age. Miles from home, and with 3 kids, who would not spit on him if he was on fire!!
I did well until 100 and haven't moved since
ouch Nef, hope you are ok now. It is a good grid. Some wonderful finds, the biggies are real words. A few babblets, nothing really crazy.
absolutely, soodle!
I went to the list at 99 to go
i's done
then I'll sit back and join the chat instead.
crossy, you are not one of those guys :)
;)))
you take your wife champagne in bed on your anniversary you are certainly not one of those men
sony is anoincing thier new e-book reader today..see addy below 3:23 p.m:))
I need one more word. The mi 9. Anyone out there have pity and give me a clue?
damn typos
And, Ata, my last words are 'there is life beyond a bullying control freak'.
mi9 is the centre of the cold season.
Annie, that is one of the great finds :) When the night is longest.
and there are some nice men out there---rare, but they exist
not the middle of summer
oooh crossy - I have a photo you'll be envious of, according to FM
i try very hard not to ramrod decisions and choice down my better halfs throat,can become a nasty habbit if you dont watch out
mi*+wi6
You know, I couldn't stand living with a person who always finds fault with others. Marriage is supposed to be a union of 2, working together to make one union. It sounds to me like somewhere, somehow, someone forgot that reason for the marriage
Oh yes there are, and Ata deserves a wonderful one. Some day. When she wants him :)
Thanks!!! I am done.
wtg Annie
Yay, Annie!!
congrats Annie
yaa for annie!
Hi folks. I was quietly Babbling and reading all the hubby horror stories on the chog (I had one like that, too). Anyway, I just went in and gave me partner a kiss 'for being a lovely man'. He's now looking nervous & wondering if I'm after something. LOL.
makes me edgy when that happens as well jacula lol
roflol, Jac! Stories like this sure makes one appreciate her own hubby.
*hugs crossy for being a lovely babbler*
Lol Jac!!!
lol jac, I did the same, keeps them on their toes
ohhhh, Atalante, I was SO hoping your temporary FB post was a joke... I'm sorry
lol Katie
Ata, Sorry you are having a hard time of it. Close the bank accounts (good advice from jmc) and go see an attorney to see what your options are. I would try marriage counseling
Crossy: http://tinyurl.com/m8ppah
Hi all. Been reading the chog. Sorry to hear about things from Ata. Just remember, Ata, the problems are his, not yours. If he criticises you for eating cookies, tell him it;s your body and your business.
to completely change the subject. A football from my football team was stabbed in the legs on saturday and is still critical in hospital, another's father died on the way to the match on sunday on the motorbike his son bought him. Now we are losing to our arch rivals, there is trouble in the stadium and hundreds rioting outside, boy it has been a bad week to follow west ham
AND your cookies!
hi Sally :)
oh we've just scored!!
DH and I are mentors in our churches' Marriage Prepare Program for engaged couples. We stress that it takes a lot of work to have a good marriage; but lack of communication will make any marriage hell.
*footballer
lol ata! my black kitty(serius black) does the same thing with the tub spout
yay West Ham!
Oh god they are on the pitch now
FM said something of the sort :)
must be off, bye all, *hugs*
'Bye Sprite. ((hug))
Good night Sprite. As BabbleRabble would say - Be well. XX
*sneaks back for an extra hug for Jac*
sorry to hear your going through problems ata:(( we are always here to lend an ear for a babble buddy:)
Aw thanks, Sprite.x
tc sprite
No-one should stay with a control freak in my opinion. Bullies only bully when they have a victim.
Well said, Sally!
Well said, Sally.
absolutely
Snap, Jac!!! lol
If he tries it again, don't shout. Just stay calm and cool and be FIRM. It will give you power, which shouting won't do. Go and shout in the woods :-)
*Sighs* Can't believe I only just noticed the Sicilian volcano with 47 words left to find.
lo Jac. And have you taken the many needle cases there?
a grid regular it tis
I needed to screech at him last night to make him realise I was serious. From now on, it's calm adn collected!
hello all, how many in the grid today
Power to your elbow ata.
Difficult, Ata!
227 tru
thx jess
yw
Yes, got the needlecases Sally. Only just spotted the little Italian car/s, though. *sighs again*
Someone close to me has just separated from a control freak. She is a new person! Remember the important word here is FREAK. He is out of step, not you.
ma6
Sorry, get off my soap box now and go and find my last few (81!) words.
does it start with a male?
Needle-cases???? Little Italian cars???? Ooooh, help me please....
little(usually red) 2 door soft top cars soodles
????? soodle
So you could drive up the volcany in your little Italian car clutching your needle case, but be careful how you st***.
is also a old term for dr,s rx paper
The needlecases sound like 'and you (familiar form) in French, sort of.
pronouncement from on high = little car
I am lost, what are you all clueing

thanks ata!
oooh, good clue, ata
26 to go!
Ata to the rescue!
Good clue, Ata!
LOL good clue ata
ok I got the idea :P it was a good clue!
someone else clued it first though - was it you, Vi?
Nope. I didn't have it yet.
think you're gonna have to bask in the glory all by yourself, ata
*smug*
Love your Chinglish, gortmold!
*grins at Ata.*
whats the word for the "C" under the first "M"?
thank vic, have you stumbled across any memorable chinglish yourself?
are there any EX words please?
apple liquid haley
haley, apple drink
don't think so, nrk
ohh
thanks
No, nrkii.
Well, I've never been to China, but I used to have a paper from a pair of chopsticks in my bulletin board because I liked what it said about nice symbol of glorious Chinese cultual and historical.
thanks
LOL vic
I always read the lists of funny translations that get posted from time to time.
i'm looking online for a brilliant chinglish photo of a can of soda labelled "bottled water"
lovely cultual!
On a somewhat related hobby, I collect "The Number One Most Important Phrase to Learn in a Foreign Language." There are some odd ones.
sorry got totally distracted by the football!
It began with my best friend in high school who had a crush on the French exchange student and decided to learn something in French to impress him...
yes? go on vic
In a lot of countries, that would be "get your hand off my knee".
We are now in the lead but there have been several pitch invations and play has been suspended once, honestly the shame of it
ive seen that pic gortmold
west ham vs ??
How that poor lad who lost his dad two days ago is coping I'll never know
For reasons that remain unclear to me, although she's still my best friend, she learned (and forgive my misspellings as I don't know French, either) "Vous et fou, poisson!"
Oh God we have scored again lets hope the match is still going
what about the "F"
watching some fottie katie?
you are mad, fish? lmao
footie even
hmm...gortmold tries to recall grade 8 french for translation... does it mean, "You're a fish-faced fool"?
?
Another was a set of Spanish tapes that taught you to say, among your earliest lessons, "You are alone and I am alone. You will buy me dinner."
It means "You are crazy, fish."
we have an people watching it they aren't showing the match but they are rioting inside and outside the ground
nice, Vi... that would be handy
extra Lols, vic
*a programme
I think he was impressed! ... At least, it made an impression on him!
who are they playing, katie?
Who is playing, Katie?
I'm sure it must have Vic
I'm having E trouble... I have 4 et + 2 ew... missing?
milwall. oh. says it all
West Ham v Millwall at Millwall, Mari has just phoned to say how glad she is that I don't have a season ticket there any more
6 et's
sorry it's at West Ham
Irish telly has been hijacked by the horrors of The Rose of Tralee. Such fodder for Father Ted!!!
Millwall fans are just thugs
thanks vi
I found a bit of 'Spanglish' in the newspaper today. The 'washing' instructions on the label of a shirt bought in Spain. "You can hydrograph machinery washing in 40. You can't using bleach and launder powder of in dusion bleach. You can wield micro therm Smoothing in 110. You can fumifator it dry in wield microtherm Scrolling."
Wow! That's quite some instructions, Jac!
"wield microtherm smoothing"
love it
oooh, that is beautiful jac, think you've made my day
wow!
Unfortunately we have come down to their level. they are reporting that the police have regained control outside the ground
I'm gonna have a crack at some fumifating myself
that beats all!
what about the "I" next to "M" and "T"
upton park station area looked ok *watching news*
See I'm going to wield microtherm smoothing tomorrow to finish my packing :-)
It made me smile.
"Wield microtherm smoothing" might be just what it takes to make ironing popular again.
3 im words and 3 in words haley
ma6,24 please
best of luck with that, katie, watch out for indusion bleach - it'll get ya every time
evening all - any clues for the 9 please
I never wield microtherm smoothing... I don't believe in it

and hello, babblers!
mine too :)
hi jbv!
:) Hi!
'Bye gort and Hi to all who've arrived while I was away.
I like that song, too.:-)
I envy you, KrisE .. not everyone has a new wastebasket in the kitchen
I'm off to carry on watching the tv, not a good night to be a football fan let alone a west ham fan
Well, it's a year old now...the rest of the kitchen did get finished around it.
see you all tomorrow, take care Ata x
Bye, KatieMcG. Take care.
jbv,sorry just trying to catch up with the chog,what song is that?
in the bleak mi9 - Christmas song...
bye katie!
ahh
KrisE clued it at 4:10 - a carol from the cold season
I love that song. Sarah M. sings it
Someone else actually clued it; I just needed to sing ;)
clue for rh7 please? I thought it would be the plural to 6, but it's not
just that verse from that sing reminded me of one of my favorite lines"stone and sea are two unalterable symbols of life,permanance at rest,permanance in motion,participants in the power that remains;))
it's got a latin ending, like the football stad***
that's nice, cross - what song is that?
got it - thanks, nrk
Lovely, crosshair!

et4 and et5 (et5 = et + small, and et4 sounds the same)
Lovely, jilli!
check out my profile crossy
I'm still wondering what it means
ty jbv
JBV -- I see why the needlecase. But trust enable to come up with another spelling.
i think i know the origins of that name for a needle case jbv...
do tell.....
its is the only name you can say with a mouthfull of pins as in "pleae pass me the et**" lol
I don't know... I think you'd spit the pins across the room.
i thought the same thing, Vi
you can say it with pins just watch where the tounge goes on the t lol
Yeah, but you can say "needle case" more easily! lol
i remember my mother talking and sewing with a mouth full of pins - of course she freaked out if one of us kids tried it
It's from old French, to keep or hold.
ty sally i was just messing round,i knew the right answer was out there
Sally breaks in with the voice of reason! =)
lol you obviously don't know me!
ok this is a test of the voice of reason,if this was a actual emergency you would of been told many reasonable things,this is only a test.we now return you to our regular silliness!
Not known for your voice of reason, are you then?
Let's just say I am equally known for my silliness!
mm ..crossy needs his meds..brb..
LOL! I used to voice the emergency broadcast test for a radio station. "Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been instructed where to tune in your area for news and information." LOL
LOL ch LOL
i used to remember those on the old chch network
or wkbw out of buffalo
funny thing way the hell up north,2 channels on rabbit ears one local and one wkbw lol go figure
I worked at the primary EBS station, which supposedly meant that in the event of (for ex) nuclear war, our station had the bomb shelter. BUT ... it was built in 1941, so the fans blow air IN. LOL!!!
lol bad place to be then ch
Any clues needed before I go?
th - any?
has reason left the building?
if i ever vist the states,i fully expect to see wkbw,s transmission tower as soon as i cross the border lol
yup,i killed him jm
Well, we haven't heard from her recently, jmc.
reason is just a state of mind anyways
whew so we are left with rhyme?
archair second person th ... then past tense that
*grumbles* Whaddaya want to go and be all reasonable about it for, anyway, crossy.
rhyme is nice,she can stay
Wakes up. You talking to me?
Yes we are, and she's a star!
She can stay - if she's willing to play.
cross - you must be near me...wkbw
You need a rhyme?
th4/6 biblical you
th 5\6.27 past tense of biiblical you
Can anyone clue the ou7 please ;o)
I need a clue is the cluer you?
speaking of nuclear stuff and radiation... the other 2 th words have to do with that.
I wouldn't say "need" - wouldn't want to show greed.
Norma, to beat someone in the water
th6/37: god of thunder + frozen water without e
Thanks ch great clue :)
smack splash
ou7 - in the water you'll win if you type this word in
thx - I needed the ou7; still trying to figure the th clues
alas poor th****,i knew him well:)
ah - thx inge - nice chest clue
I'm off to the kitchen --- veggie stew and fresh bread for dinner tonight. Happy babblings!
tc ch;0
Thanks Vic ;0)
Ooooh -- great clue, crosshair :D. okay, **poof**
bye ch1212
Oh that does have to do with bombs. I had assumed chest, too.
Bye, ch1212.
damn I left my chicken salad out and now it is an4 salad
I guess the chest one ends differently
How tragic, jmc!
it is -- it was a good curry salad
Condolences!
th 7/40: an element with atomic numbre 90
I deliberately tuned out of the chog - then got distracted by the TV. I fear I am doomed not to finish tonight! :(
But speaking of which, I'd better get to work on dinner myself.
crossy does not like curry..worked for a place once called indias curry house for 2 months..had to burn all my work clothes after;( all i could smell
Amn't I unfortunate to be such an easily distracted wisp'o'the'will?
I love curry --*makes note not to serve curry when crossy visits from snowy north*
ty inge
and you could taste nothing even if there was no curry cause everything was deadly spicy
I only ever had one dish I thought too spicy
except the rice which was perfumy..basmati rice i believe
But, after a couple of pints, theres nothing like a curry...
did Kris get all the th words?\
it was 5 alarm chili (1 for yankess, 2 for yankees , 3 for texans, 4 for latinos and 5 for Thai)
Have any of you Transatlantic Babblers ever heard of the Rose of Tralee?
love basmati rice
lol soodle you would be clean as a whistle after a few pints and all that curry hehe
as a song, yes, soodle
no - still stumped on the last 2 - th6 and th4. Someone gave a past-tense clue that I couldn't figure
beer and curry are a heaven sent combo
FIREWORKS!:-) It took me ages to get my last one (ro6 - an angler) because it went up when I was looking across.
sycophants curry favor, not flavor
whoo hoo jac!
Cross - Round these here parts, that combo is known as 'Pebble-dashing the toilet'!!
good thing I am not a sycophant
jmc - not to the person who has to share a room we you afterwards! LOL
lol
th 6: the biblical you (th4/6) made past tense by adding two letters
what!?!
Way-Hey, Babble. I knew you would be lurking somewhere. good to see you!!! :)
eeww soodle what a thought..lol
no need to flush just let the acid do its work on those nasty rings
lol crossy
inge - thanks! I'd never have guessed. Seems odd. however, I have "deared" people, so I guess...
Cross, I have half a dozen answers to that, but in deference to my fellow babblers, I am going to refrain. (((Angelic smile)))
Hello, soodle ... my almost brand new, 1991 car sprang a break fluid leak .. was cleaning the spill to avoid EPA sanctions
the last th 4 is th + a mouse is a **dent
lol good stuff,dare not to tread where the insane go:) but i will:)
for we not know what we do
thx inge!
Babble. Take it right back - surely its still under guarantee....
1991..no warranty left;(
the manufacturer no longer makes it and parts are scarce
17 year old car do ye ken lol
I'm going to wander off for now. Something I want to watch on TV. Happy Babbling.
70, 000 miles
Bye jac
bye jac

Huh! Babbs, I have a 03 car, with 125,000 miles, and its going like a bird, (says Soodle, clutching for the nearest piece of wood)
I have a 1983 Mustang that I had to wait out since it wouldn't pass the emissions test by a hair
Ooooh! A Mustang. Nice.
now I can't afford to drive it because of the costs of feul
we have a 1990 licon lim at work(bought it at airport auction) thing runs well but has 932,000 miles on the odometer1
baby blue convertible
But, you have a Mustang, JMC!! Last time I was in the US, we hired one. Nice motor!!
we are emission exempt at 20 years
1983..those are those mustang 2,s right?
very burly motor
5 lit motor if im correct im some
but fit and finish on those models are not the best:(..now what i want is one of the early mustang mach ones;))
a 4.2 v-8
paint it black with chromies and blue tint;)
my dream is a red 1964 1/2
ahh 4.2
ahh the original
red convertible of course

Fireworks at last. I shall take my reasonable self off to bed now. Byeeeee all.

Soodlebum sits up and takes notice...Dirty Limericks????
lol soodle,the 1973 cadilliac fleetwood convertible had a 502 cubic inch motor lol

With blankets on the ground et al
lol

sorry Kris I don't have it
whoo hoo Kazz and huh???
congrats Kazzer and good luck with the computer!
aw, thanks, jm

One more to monkey, I guess...
te 6 - type of sea snail that attacks wooden hulls
wtg Kris
or may be worm
Fireworks!
gave her my e0mail as i wen through some nasty chemo and perhaps i can walk her through the worst of it..if she wishes.but never hurts to offer
whoo hoo kris
yaa for krise!!
congrat kris
It is kind of you to offer
Only took me 2 1/2 hours, w/ help from you all and Lickety. That's why I had to cold turkey off Babble!
Kazz that clue really doesn't help me I am afraid
wow 2 1/2 hours is great!
lol not to worry krise..you can quit babble many times as ihave lol
te 6 te plus to complete something again
ty kazz you are a peach
kris - i went away for about 6 months and then got dragged back again
yw jm - how are you doing?
my last te sounded a little like the cussing sickness - but no double letters
i am doing okay if a little listless (and I am not talking about lickety)
I am on "sabbatical" and have a hard time getting motivated
jm I just looked at your profile - I got tired just reading it!
I say rest and do nothing and be ok with it for a while
what? it's just a job and a kid lol!
jmc - You should go visit a friend and call it a meeting to feel like you're at work ..Maybe even take notes ..
well I am trying since I think it is good for me and I am getting some long term projects done
it can be like that. i may off to mum in laws at the weekend but we both seem to be developing colds and as she has just finished a 5 week run of radiotherapy and 4 chem sessions we cant go if we do have something and put her at risk
you're trying to bring peace to the world - that's a hard job!
lol good idea torg!
no you really shouldn't add to her problems but that is too bad
I need to go home and clean the fridge. Anyone need a clue before I go?
and good luck with the world peace - it will be an uphill struggle
sounds fun kris
lol np kazz it will be done 3 weeks after the sabbatical is over lol!
It's trash night - the best night to pitch crud :)
indeed kazz.if her white cell count is way down you have to take care
Thank you to everyone - good luck to all, as well - on the grid and in life. ciao
we have our bin collected tomorrow so i should do the same - i am very bad at keeping the last little bits of things that are well past the sell by date and stuff that we definitely arnt going to eat
I mean *poof*

Crossy. how very rude of you. the least you could do is offer it round...
And I can wag my finger at you with a clear conscience. I donated my 49th pint of blood last Wednesday!!! :)
crossy is always the best gentleman soodle :)
wtg soodle that is grat!
In three months time, (hopefully,) I will get to meet the President of Ireland, and be presented with some sort of award for my 50th donation! Cant wait!!

Thanks crossy, very kind of you, will just get my napkin :-)
oops almost forgot to shred some cheese on the tatties...
some 7 year old extra old white cheddar ;)
$$$ but goes a long way and takes forever to go bad in the fridge
even though I'm full, sure sounds good
scallop tatties,bacon and fresh bread and buns are my weakness;)
omg, can I move in?
you can tell by my verbal trotts that ive hit a wall in the grid;/
as long as you make the fresh bread every second day;)
every day, fresh bread is my weakness
2 loaves,every day:))
crossy - taters sound wonderful, especially with ham. i'll be right over
first one dosent even get to cool half the time hehe
we're going to be obese
more the merrier!
hot frash bread with melty butter....mmmmmmmmmmm
sokay i use diet spread on the bread lol
but who cares
like ordering a big mac and a diet coke lol
real butter for me
think you're close by...only half kidding <drool>
when im in the mood mary i have a antique churn in the cupboard,it has 2 beaters that go thru a lid and into a mason jar and i make home made butter with it;))
3 hours north of toront trader;)
great grandma had one of those. she used to put me to work on it when we visited
toronto even
I too am stuck with 66 left, listless, and must leave shortly to grandaughters basketball game. Oh, just read your churn blog and am dying
35% cream and a dash of salt is all it takes;)
cottage country...unless you drive like me...then Sudbury...
hehe our peaches and cream corn is coming out of the fields as we speak,will have to have a big corn roast/boil:) then the butter will fly!!

withholding bananas until he gives me the rest

crossy hunts for a fresh monkey

Hi JC, torgone...

found the mi9, too. not related to the mi7
Hi, Scrabbler . . .
Good luck Jen- be careful to stick with what the Dr says so that the employer can see what you can and can not do
ouch, stop using the keyboard and lie down, jen1 (joking, of couse you can keep playing)
go Gwen!
i will try my best
i am already done dr. gwen
that is all you can do Jen
Jen, do you have a brace or a cast to keep your wrist from moving too much?
i definitely know one thing i am not going to be able to do is lift the baby gates and put them back on the shelf
i do have a wrap and a brace, but i still have the stitches
oh, then wtg jen !! ~~~ !!!!
Dan are you still here
which dan?
Yes...I was on the phone
Jen, just ask for help then. I once tried to be a nursing assistant on crutches when I was in high school and worked the 4 hour evening shift at the nursing home. I did it because I could feed some pts and calm down some of the confused ones and the other aides did the walking and lifting
sorry I an8 for you danf :-)

That's what cough syrup is for DR...

hi ru
hi JC.. HI dr, HI JM and JEn.. how is everyone?
Hmmm . . . that was a great epiphany, jmc?
anyone need clues?
th6/27 please
it was -- before that I always thought they were smarter. But I was two and four and six grades behind
I always knew my two older sisters were older than me. It was fun being the 'baby' brother - and spoilt! ;)
my brother is older.. I am more mature..
Oh of course, ruru dahhhling. ;)
me too ruru- : P
th6/27 past tense of word before
really??? Weird word
it only been in the last couple of years my older sisters stopped ordering me around
My older sister is so bossy! Even at 65 yrs old, she still thiks she can boss the rest of us around!
thanks Jen!
(JM has a cinderella complex)
Wow . . . I'm sure mine both know that would be futile! ;)
you're welcome DR
exactly nef! I am 58 and still getting bossed around like i am a teenager
(bet that is more than true)
oy, feel like i been here hours, still gots 68 left! break time, BBL
I wish I was cinderella then I would get the prince and the money
BBL...gotta go talk to the boss!
HAHAHA, ruru . . . :P
(well you do get busted for drinking beer all the time)
hey ruru, when did you get here?
(don't forget those cool glass slippers jm)
that reminds me I need to put a book up for Haz: "entertaining without getting arrested" by jmcnrick
oh, my sister thinks she knows everything about everything. She IS smart; but I hated her telling all of us how to raise kids when she chose not to have "curtain climbers" and "rug rats" -her terms
a while ago jenmo
good lcuk Bro
bad pitch by garret mock -- bummer
lol- I guess I need my meds... my typing is awful today- worse than usual
well, i didn't see you come in, sorry!!! HI!!!!!!!
Erm, yes - then how was she any 'expert' at raising them, Nef? :/ By experience? :P
dr, i believe i am just 2 years older than you
Which I'm sure you've pointed out to her . . .
me? really- you are young then!
yeah I know what you mean nef -- my sister who NEVER put limits on her dau who ran away from home and lived on the streets suddenly decide that discipline was important in relation to my son

hi again faux
can you do that? grow your own?
Oh, Séain and Westford - if you go to the URL in my bio now, you can see a few photos of my dogs - including a nice one I took recently of Valerie, when I had her out for a walk on the beach . . .
how on earth could one grow enough?
yes just grown saffron crocus
you only need a couple of strands of real saffron
okay JC will look
I got it from White flower farms
where's that, jmc?
the bloom in the fall and you pick about 2 strands per flower
you can find them online dc
ah, okay
I grow everything I can like bay, oregano, and rosemary
JC the only picture I see is of you and Albie
no pesticides on my herbs
st 7 pls?
ha ha the phillies just lost
jmc outside? and bring them in or always inside?
a taste of honey tasting much sw7 than wine
who is that new wonderboy the Nats signed?
the crocus are outside west
I meant the oregano and bay etc.
No, Westford - at the URL that's in the bio there. The link, to my Google profile - you would have to copy it, and paste it into a brower . . .
stasburg?
yes that's the one
the oregano freezes to the ground each wi5
I am having a hard time following the chat..
oh okay JC
We don't use pesticides here either, jmc. They're so toxic and harmful. :(

(and still looking for that one myself, harp)
JC -- lovely pic of Valerie and the tennis ball :) She looks part Lab.
compound word the 9 is
halfway through a season
Thank you, Jilli - she may be, but she is quite small! Small enough to sit easily, in my lap! She is definitely part Whippet, that's all I'm sure of . . .
oh, duh...didn't go that direction!!! *thump*
thx jmc and mel
oh, talking like yoda we are
She is gorgeous, isn't she, Jilli? Very regal - the grand dame, I call her, now that she's 10, and Albie's with us. ;)
hmph. Well it's squished. but otherwise shows pretty well. The lateral file is missing one drawer, will make a shelf for books there. The shelves are about 7 feet tall... and the desk chair is also new, VERY comfortable.
JC the pic of the dog siblings is too wonderful!!
many, many people in Sonora here my Castillian (lisped pronunciation) of cero as P for some reason.
JC has pretty dogs. I just have a galoot who gets on the furniture when I am away from home. *sigh*

Erm, afflamed - you are new to this, it takes time to learn a lot of the words these grids use!
o. how many points?
this is not a competitive game
that's why we're all here, afflamed...that and the company!
You win by being true to the goals you set

I've been spending the last month on 5th Street
So please do contribute, ata! I don't understand why people suggest icon themes and then don't contribute -- I would have loved to see other local food and recipes but only saw sprite's and flosey's

apart from the hot week from hell a few weeks ago
the days are gorgeoud when it IS sunny.
ive moved here from los angeles 16 years ago BUT I am really tired of the 350 days of rain and grey days
lol I bet. and the morning fog?
actually the morning fog is really pretty and silent and neat
but the OVERCAST grey days, rain, wind, ....thats a bit much
I love it - we went down to Haystack Rock a few days ago in the early morning fog. nearly missed the rock
pini?
its just so so so many days of it....I need traditional seasons. next stop: Maryland!!
BR - thanks for the lesson in your profile. :)

Indeed! ^_^
Here's my icon for the new theme -- and thanks, west for posting yours and the interesting writeup.
you're welcome jilli I did want to post RI Clam Chowder but today was too busy
mmmm, clam chowder!
I like yours too I remember doing the hammer thing with Turkish Taffy
I thought Taffy was soft stuff
it is but there was a bar called that too
I seem to recall a genie on the label
hello again. stidkid retrieved from the school band practice.
YAY pini, I see!
is the tuba enjoying riding in the Hyundai stid?
Hi again, stidmama - and westord and Jilli. :)
hi JC
I also wanted to post a Cadbury's Snack Bar but they don't exist any more and I couldn't find a picture. It wasn't a kid thing, though -- we used to pause after the 10th hole of golf for a Snack Bar and lemonade.
Erm, westford - sorry!!! :/ My typing . . .
Hi again stid and JC :)
I didn't even notice JC
*grin* this was the trumpet kid, tuba gets its first trip in a couple weeks.
ooh Cadbury Fruit and Nut Bars are my current favorite
which kid is which, sid?
oh stid didn't know you had 2 musicians must be wonderful to hear them play
the Snack Bar had peanuts and nougat I think -- chocolate coated
stidkid #1, trumpet and piano; stidkid #2, tuba and trombone.
do you play?
thanks, stid
it is lovely to hear them perform. Stidkid #2 also sings (and has perfect pitch). Stidkid #1 could sing... but doesn't.
everyone's a fruit and nut case *sings*
snack bar was wafer layers , and krispies in choclit coating, i think
LOL ATalante!
aha! I found a brit word for potato!
TK, definitely had nuts, back in the sixties
must do dishes back soon
stand corrected
you did, stid? spud isn't in the grid...
maybe Canada's Snack Bar was diff from the U.S.? Happens with other things, I know.
later west
I'm sure you're right, stid, about the Snack Bar
was in buffalo in early 70's...thinking jil's right - peanuts outside with choc, but sure wafers i9n middle
yep, tha's moi, richt about ever-thin! *grin* how're you doing today anyway, jill? I am sure you told, but I have been so scattered tonihgt
nougat. choc and peanuts sounds like oh henry
maybe, TK -- it was delish anyway
mmmmmm
remember bae ruth bars?
baby ruth?
babe
yes
actually, I never was big on candy bars -- just those at golf, and now very occasionally, dark choc KitKats
more mmmmmmmmmmm
love the dark choc kitkats. and dark choc snickers
I used a crowbar and rebar and handlebar
mmmmm, i love turtles...
*slides drinks along the bar*
at Halloween I used to get those miniature bars, and hardly any kids come here so I had to eat them myself. What a shame.
such a shame
so sad for you, jil. terrible burden...
*tears roll down face for jill*
I love the mini baby ruth bars
rule #1 always buy halloween candy you like. and rule #2 buy extra , refer to rule #1
well, down to 70 and very tired. going to check emails and get me hence to sleepy-bye.
see you-all tomorrow!
*poofs out in a cloud of lovely mini choclits of all kinds*
bye dear!
