12:34 am

I have decided that the compier of Enable is a prurient Jewish Scottish mining engineer with various medical conditions, who has travelled widely and collected a large variety of coins and currencies as well as sundry snippets of several languages, but is slightly out of date about cyberspace.

12:34 am

LOL, jilli!!!

12:35 am

err are you referring to the fact that it won't take em5

12:35 am

n's are na 4 5 4 5; ne 4; ni 4; no 4 5

12:36 am

oh yes -- the compiler can't spell either.

12:36 am

probably, justy!

12:37 am

I really don't mean to sound ungrateful, and I'm not, but without lickety, this is a drag :(

12:37 am

ah well. got half done but the rest looks hard!

12:37 am

Hear hear, justy

12:38 am

well done, freep

12:38 am

I mean I feel that he made a commitment and the fact that it takes like 10 minutes to use his grid solving program to put the clues up....

12:39 am

if he'd let me I'd do it for him on the days he cannot

12:40 am

it is nice that he takes the time to do it .. and it has been difficult for him with problems with his dad.. we can all get by.. there are so many great players who can figure this grid out and help all of the rest of us.

12:40 am

okay, I'll shut up now

12:40 am

Have you emailed him about that, justy?

12:40 am

see y'all!

12:40 am

no, I haven't jilli

12:41 am

how about it, justy?

12:41 am

duh ruru I know, but we all can't be in the top 10, ya know

12:41 am

don't look at me..

12:42 am

I am average here

12:42 am

thinking about it jilli...just not sure how much he'd appreciate it

12:42 am

oh please ru...stop..k?

12:42 am

*definitely looking at ruru with over 200 words now*

12:43 am

12:43 am

12:43 am

justy, try asking mrp then

12:43 am

I rest my case

12:44 am

I have 81 words

12:44 am

I did ...to see what she thought....she told me to ask him as she wouldn't know

12:44 am

82

12:44 am

I have 133 ....wheeee need to brag

12:44 am

so ask him!

12:44 am

go jilli go..

12:47 am

If you just offered to fill in when he is busy I don't see how that would be stealing any thunder.

12:47 am

LBD is going to be so happy to see maxine in the grid

12:47 am

12:48 am

That's good to hear. Is the granddaughter throwing her weight around?

3:43 am

she just adores him and he loves the extra cuddles

3:45 am

They'll enjoy each other, in that case. Is he still at the needle-sharp gn4/10 fingers stage?

3:46 am

mostly feet and ankles and i stop him every time , its such a bad puppy habit

3:47 am

It's a good job they grow out of it, there'd be a lot fewer dog owners if they didn't!

3:49 am

poor Hobbit got glomped by a spotty Great Dane this morning

3:50 am

Glomping = being leapt upon uninvited?

3:50 am

aaw poor hobbit, hope only his pride is hurt

Hi all! I am excited to see a bigger grid today, but in a few hours I may not be so chipper!

5:37 am

Where is the 9 please?

5:39 am

TR 9

5:41 am

Ty, is it a tr 8/9?

ty Button

5:41 am

5:42 am

ty, searching

that gave me my third 8 as well

5:42 am

yes, it is a TR 8/9

5:42 am

Interesting word

5:43 am

First half of the 9 is when they hang a guy they throw a rope over the limb of a TR**

5:44 am

This is a good grid. Larger, but with the s way in the corner, it's not depending on so many plurals.

5:45 am

5:55 am

6:08 am

Thanks Nono!

6:09 am

good morning, babble friends....

6:09 am

Hi Trif! How is your father?

6:09 am

hi Trif

6:09 am

Thanks everyone. Could I help someone too? (I only have 70 words so far, but am willing to share)

6:10 am

Hi Trifi. How are you? How's your Dad?

hi Trif

6:10 am

morning scrabbler - still in a coma, I am afraid. Still not extubated. It's so worrying....I am going to see him today, after my fun-time four way meeting with our divorce lawyers.....sometimes the sh** rains down so hard, you need a hat, you know what I mean?

6:11 am

But I really appreciate you all asking, and being so caring. The support means everything!

6:11 am

crossy offers trif an umbrella:/

6:11 am

((Trif)) One day at a time. How is his lung function? Any complications or just needing time to breathe on his own?

so sorry Trif am still praying for your dad.. as for the other, well this too shall pass

6:11 am

You can borrow my tin foil hat, Trifi. I put teel feathers on it last night

6:12 am

Trif--fight for what your kids need now and in the future

6:12 am

LOL, thanks crossy. His lung function is okay, I guess. when they turn down the vent thingie he does try to breathe on his own

6:12 am

That's a great sign, Trifi!

6:12 am

Finished with the a words ... ah, how good it is.

6:12 am

So he is making progress?

6:13 am

and they took out the chest tube, which I actually thought was weird, as he is developing a pneumonia.

wtg Merk

6:13 am

Good--chest tube can cause infection + pain. If the air leak is healed--good.

6:13 am

Re: the ventilator: It's okay for him to be on it for 10-12 and possibly 14 days if necessary. Intensivists always try to get them off as early as possible

6:13 am

I don't know if it is progress or not, scrab - he is still in a coma, so maybe any progress is incremental. I think the biggest relief will be when they get the intubation tube out.

6:13 am

good morning all - how is this grid today?

6:14 am

Coma or highly sedated with Fentanyl etc?

6:14 am

they are going to do a tracheostomy tomorrow, I think. They prefer that to the vent I guess.

6:14 am

the chest tube was there just to re-inflate the lung (it makes a vaccuum for the lung to re-expand

6:14 am

Hi Wolvie

6:14 am

hey trif! I was wondering how your Dad is doing - still maintaining?

6:14 am

MEdical coma - my stepmom said he was on "michael jackson juice" - is that fentanyl?

6:15 am

nope Diprovan

6:15 am

"Milk of Amnesia" we call it

6:15 am

Probably not propofol--short-acting

6:15 am

Haha, Nef

6:15 am

plus some sort of sedation

6:16 am

Probably Fentanyl, Ativan, opiate combo--then he will be weaned off

6:16 am

they would rather he was awake, and then on a controlled epidural, but I would say we are a loooong way from that

6:16 am

wow - still medically induced coma - how long will they continue that?

6:16 am

propofol/diprovan is the drug of choice for trying to get someone off vent up here, Scrabs. Easy off, easy on so can wake and put back to sleep fast

6:17 am

Really? Not used in kids in ICU, so new to me.

6:17 am

until they get the breathing tube out, I think wolvie

6:17 am

I've never used it on kids, Scrabs. But then again, I no longer work in ICU

6:18 am

and that appears to be a bit off still? Timewise? I hope it occursa as soon as possible.

6:18 am

I think someone mentioned some sort of oxy- something, at some point. he is a "hemologic challenge" or some such phrase, so they are switching him up all the time. He is getting or has gotten a central line though - is that a good thing?

6:18 am

Dang! Speaking of work, gotta run!

6:18 am

bye nef

6:19 am

Central line is typical for ICU pt

bye Nef

6:19 am

Trif, central lines are good. Less chance of the IV causing a vein problem

6:19 am

bye Nef

6:19 am

BYE! POOF!

6:19 am

Ask them all of your questions, Trif--do not hesitate!

6:19 am

hi no no

6:19 am

oh, okay then. Hey, there -- how is the new job, scrabbler? Still happy you made the hop?

6:19 am

hi lynxx

6:19 am

hi Wolvie

6:20 am

And I must shower and take off for work--bye all. ((Trif)) ((Trif's father))

7:52 am

I still haven't finish a quilt I started 30 years ago sigh

7:52 am

maybe when I retire

7:53 am

A friend called me last week and told me she has 2 boxes of yarn for me... she used to knit 20 years ago and still has the yarn.... so, of course, I will take it!

7:53 am

I tried quilting once... just too slow for me. I have no patience!

7:53 am

I take needle point with me to meetings to keep frm going crazy but knitting and crochet seem to be bulkier

7:54 am

And way too much prep time and too many steps to the finished product.

7:54 am

That's why the squares are nice.

I take forever to do cross stitch

7:54 am

I inherited my grandmothers quilting frame 35+ years but have never used it for lack of ti4

7:54 am

I used to do x-stitch.... finished a couple of nice things, but it kind of bores me now.

I just am time por

7:55 am

sometimes I do embroidery--I do it to keep my cloth purse to gether

7:55 am

I have 8 tw's - how many are there?

7:55 am

pb herin ;-)

7:55 am

you too mom

7:55 am

8 tw?!

7:55 am

there are 8 tw's.

7:55 am

What I did make, which I am very proud of... are our Christmas stockings (bought the quilted fabric), but they came out very nice and we use them every year.

Well I am eating Green and Black Chocolate

Poor pooch. I'm sure you'll be overcompensating for the guilt later.

8:15 am

absolutely!

8:19 am

My one kitty is walking around with one squinty eye. I think he scratched himself. It's not goopy or anything, so I don't think it's too serious. He doesn't seem to mind me looking at closely.

8:20 am

they do like biffing themselves in the eyes a lot

8:24 am

dumb gerund is going to be the end of me!

11:10 am

hi haz!

11:11 am

Hi Ata !

11:11 am

Hello Ata! Any new of Hobbit's day at the vet?

11:11 am

much news!

11:12 am

May we hear it?

11:12 am

Poor Hobbitella! She has the starts of either a cataract or corneal atrophy in her left eye. However, she can see perfectly well right now, and vet lady thinks her vision is just blurry atm when looking down, which explains quite a lot. But! Lovely... vet lady gave her eyedrops to dilate her eye which she promptly had some weird reaction to - a reaction never seen before in the vet practice (typical) and she's now got really puffy conjunctiva. She looks rather like a bassett hound.

11:12 am

tw7?

11:12 am

Oh poor Hobbit

11:12 am

tw 7 - more ropey

11:13 am

Poor Hobbit. It's reactions like that that keep them on their toes.

11:13 am

which one, harp, 7.52 or 7.44

11:13 am

Husband thinks that Spangle has the start of cataract as well, all part of growing older, I suppose.

11:13 am

4 vets there - none of them had ever seen any similar reaction!

11:13 am

:( hope Hobbitt is feeling better soon.

11:14 am

thanks

11:14 am

yes, absolutely. More than anything I really wanted a "baseline" to measure against

11:14 am

Did they get photos? I'll look out for an article about an unnamed English Cocker Spaniel in the Veterinary Record.

11:17 am

is the gn8 a compound word?

11:19 am

No, it's not. Add a badly spelled measurement of how tall you are to the gn4/6 insect.

11:19 am

thanks haz

11:19 am

nope, but I did :D

11:19 am

You're welcome.

11:19 am

thanks Haz :)

11:20 am

You're welcome, mymuse.

11:20 am

the worst bit nowadays is her attitude. I sound like an old aunt, but she's impossible to deal with half the time

11:25 am

and we all know that's her illness and not her (well not MUCH her, dshe was always bolshy and argumentative!)

11:27 am

She is probably fed up and thinks that you can take the moans and groans as you are her sister !!

11:27 am

I have a mother like that!

11:28 am

oh yes, mum too. but she's just - you can't do anything right, everyone hates her, everyone is plotting against her, and we hear about it constantly. We just have to walk out of the room quite often and calm down

11:29 am

Ata I do know how you feel

11:30 am

she actually phoned me up a few weeks ago to tell me that mum had called her a demon child and told me about it for *2 hours* lol

11:30 am

and then 3 hours the next day!

11:31 am

Have you not got Hobbitella trained to ring the doorbell as a diversion/excuse?

11:31 am

it upsets mum *so* much *sigh*

11:31 am

Hello all. Taking refuge from studying Latin (at my own pace). Sounds like lots of things are going on. We're staying around home mostly and seeing the stidkids after school.

11:32 am

if I do that then I am as evil as mum! deliberately not wanting to listen! (well, yes ... lol)

11:32 am

You need a break Ata

11:32 am

Hi stidg

11:32 am

I have a break till Saturday :P

11:33 am

Hello stidgmere. porto, portas, portat, portamus, portatis, portant. Who says that learning by rote is useless?

11:33 am

she's coming to watch the skydive on sunday. I think. at least that will get her out of the house!

11:33 am

Hi, caitlyn Nice to see you. I am a door? You are a door? or better, I am portly, you are portly?

11:33 am

That may brighten her up !

11:33 am

Goodness, I had forgotten that it was so close! How much money raised so far.

11:34 am

I carry, you carry, he carries, we carry, you (pl) carry, they carry.

11:34 am

Who is skydiving? Why? Quid?

11:34 am

£455!!

11:34 am

After skydiving I suppose someone is going to be carried. Thank you Haz what fun!

11:34 am

The Romans didn't go in for skydiving because they didn't have a word for it. Wise people.

11:35 am

Ciel plop? Probably not. I sky dive, you sky dive, etc.

11:35 am

Are you doing it Ata

11:35 am

£455 is a goodly sum of money. Well done!

11:35 am

me, yep. and Lizsark

11:36 am

we only had to raise £395, so I'm doing well!!

11:36 am

I am impressed!!

11:36 am

Atalante, are you and Liz oh my. Are you also going to the Andes with Liz?

11:36 am

nooo, she's been and come back. I wanted to go, but was alwready booked up doing something else at the tme they were going

11:37 am

stidgmere, I understand that you enjoyed your trip to Ireland? I'm glad the weather cooperated.

11:37 am

Sark isn't very big. Maybe a larger island to land on? I must get on Liz's blog I have been remiss.

11:39 am

Oh Haz the trip to Ireland was absolutely excellent. I know the next time I will be the tour coordinator and so it is a lot more work. You know coming from the Pacific Northwest, we are so used to grey skies and rain that Ireland would not be disappointing.

11:39 am

I know, but anywhere looks so much better when it's dry.

11:39 am

Focus, focus. Look at grid. Pay attention. Notes to self.

11:40 am

We've actually had quite a spell of dry weather during September and into October. Last night was first ground frost, so autumn is coming.

11:40 am

frost! ooo

11:40 am

I know. Bye-bye dahlias in the border.

11:41 am

How depressing

11:41 am

We have a couple of ficus trees on the front porch that must come inside this week. So far above freezing. I put away summer shirts and brought out the ones with three quarter or long sleeves today.

11:42 am

We havent had frosts yet, just loads of wet and windy weather

11:42 am

Getting winter clothes out is never as exciting as getting the summer ones ready.

11:43 am

I also picked the apples with Stidgrandson's help. We got a box full from our one tree. This is the second year with an apple crop. We feel like orchardists.

11:44 am

Are they eating apples or cookers?

11:44 am

*imagines a tree hung with cookers*

11:45 am

LOL

11:45 am

'Watch out below!'

11:45 am

I was imagining someone eating cookers instead of apples. A bit too crunchy for me. Hello, all!

11:46 am

Hi Vi !

11:46 am

They are best cooked because they are quite tart. Karmijn de sonnaville and are listed as a cross between Cox's Orange Pippen and Jonathan.

11:46 am

Hello Vicuna!

11:46 am

How is everyone today?

11:46 am

Is a cooker a stove in Britain? To us it is just something to be cooked. Hello Vicuna. Welcome to the world wide wackiness.

11:47 am

hi Vi!!!!iiii!!!

11:47 am

A cooker is a stove, and my shortened version of a cooking apple.

11:47 am

I'm well, Vi. How are you?

11:48 am

That's rather what i thought but it is always wise to be sure.

11:48 am

Dandy, as always, thanks.

11:49 am

And the twins? Has TOG girl got back on her bike?

11:50 am

poor Liz ... she's not looking forward to the skydive ... " Liz has lost all sense of humour where the skydive is concerned. Be nice about it. Save the horror stories for another day, or expect me to punch you... hard!"

11:50 am

She did ride it once, but unfortunately she really isn't back in the same enthusiasm any more. But her face is almost completely back to normal.

11:51 am

Oh the skydive is coming right up, yes? Good luck! Poor liz!

11:51 am

Maybe the memories will fade along with the scars. I'm glad her mouth is recovering nicely.

11:52 am

I expect they will. It's only me who will remain terrified every time they ride! lol

11:52 am

i just saw an "apple facts" paper in our kitchenette at work that said "for dieting women, those women who ate 3 apples a day were more successful on their diets than women who ate no fruit at all." well, no crap. if i ate the apples a day, id be done eating for the day!

11:52 am

Sorry to hear that your little one has hurt herself Vi, hope she is better soon

11:53 am

I couldn't eat 3 apples a day if I tried!

11:53 am

my thoughts exactly, ata! honestly, i think it would make me sick.

11:53 am

course, i guess id lose weight from all the vomiting... :X

11:53 am

Thanks, caitlyn. She really is fine already. I am seriously jealous of the 7-year-old body's capacity to heal itself.

11:54 am

Maybe you could if you had nice tasty apples.

11:54 am

Ooh, I could eat 3 apples a day - and probably plenty of other junk, too!

11:54 am

Hi Eva Im on a diet at the moment but I dont like apples enough to eat 1 so 3 are a no goer!

11:54 am

exactly cait!

11:54 am

it said that the average person eats about 1 apple per week. and honestly, im WELL below average. which is strange, because i DO like apples!

11:54 am

(If, as Haz says, they were nice tasty ones.)

11:55 am

I like a sliced apple with a bit of cheese and crackers. Otherwise, probably not.

11:55 am

In fact, I think I'll go have an apple right now.

11:55 am

The nicest apples I ever tasted were Lord Lambourne's from Armagh. But you never see them in the shops.

11:55 am

though I do like Russets

11:55 am

it also said that most people who eat apples are what they call "equator eaters" -- meaning that they eat bits from the center of the apple + go all the way around, then take bites off either end.

11:56 am

If Im hungry in between I have been eating grapes will that do ?

11:56 am

i dunno caitlyn. its apple month, so they dont mention grapes. ;)

11:56 am

lol

11:57 am

i wonder if apple sauce counts. i think i dont tend to eat actual apples because it often hurts my gums to bite into an apple. but i do love apple sauce! but then, i guess the extra sugar would probably negate the positive apple-effects...

11:57 am

hi folks

11:58 am

Get unsweetened applesauce, EvaN.

11:58 am

tivel, are you here?

11:58 am

Hi peri!

11:58 am

Or slice your apples instead of eating off the core.

11:58 am

Hello, peri.

11:58 am

Hello peri, we're on to apples right now. Plus sky diving. Kind of eclectic.

11:58 am

Hello peri.

11:58 am

I don't think apple sauce counts. You need the fibre from the apple, sauce will have taken all the moral fibre out.

11:58 am

It was skydiving appleas who invented gravity along with Isaac Newton, as everyone knows.

11:59 am

Oh maybe we can get our apples by drinking cider LOL

11:59 am

I like apples, sky diving, not so sure

11:59 am

We wouldn't have William Tell either without the apple.

11:59 am

or an appletini :)

12:00 pm

Did Grandpa Einstein have anything to say about apples? It seems to me that they're more important than we first gave them credit for.

12:00 pm

he learned from newton

12:00 pm

I think Einstein was trying to figure out whether apples could be waves as well as particles.

12:00 pm

Apples have been in since the beginning--even in Eden as the story goes.

12:01 pm

That's where the applesauce comes in - for making waves.

12:01 pm

And of course, Snow White, don't forget Snow White.

12:01 pm

Waves of applesauce, there's a thought.

12:02 pm

It was cherries that did for George Washington, wasn't it? Could it not have been an apple tree instead?

12:02 pm

I think of applesauce as more viscous like lava. Volcanoes of sauce.

12:02 pm

You will not convince me to eat apples though, (and William Tell was dangerous lol)

12:02 pm

plasmapplesauce

12:02 pm

Time for our new book How The Apple Made the World

12:02 pm

William Tell would be up for all sorts of misdemeanours nowadays.

12:03 pm

Using children, failure to carry out risk assessment, failure to register a firearm.

12:03 pm

Bows don't involve fire, except in the case of incendiary arrows.

12:03 pm

Yes, I think our Department of Health and so forth would be on it like wasps on apples. Is a bow and arrow technically a "fire" arm?

12:04 pm

Which would have made a nice baked apple in Tell's case, though.

12:04 pm

You fire a bow and arrow, I'm sure you do.

12:04 pm

I know Haz but we wouldnt have had the William Tell overture without him, so he is forgiven

12:04 pm

Is there a higher authority to whom I can appeal?

12:04 pm

I think some Babblers sound pretty high.

12:05 pm

The Court of Apples, of course.

12:05 pm

LOL stidg

12:05 pm

The court of Apple Peels. On Sark there is a Court of Pleas.

12:05 pm

Apples, Appeals... close enough.

12:06 pm

It'll be Ata who'll be high... until she very very quickly becomes low.

12:06 pm

Focus, focus.

12:06 pm

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee

12:06 pm

Not too quickly though

12:06 pm

She should carry out an experiment and see if an apple falls as fast as her from 150.000 feet.

12:06 pm

i shall carry an apple with me

12:07 pm

I knew you'd take up the challenge.

12:07 pm

Good idea, Haz! In the name of science!

12:07 pm

Will it have a parachute as well? For comparison purposes?

12:07 pm

I think they will fall at the same rate in that case. I like science but honestly this sounds like appled science to me.

12:07 pm

One with and one without, for control.

12:07 pm

Or will it be launched sans equipment? You'd better warn the bystanders.

12:07 pm

30 miles up would be quite a jump ..

12:08 pm

One step for woman kind.

12:08 pm

terminal velocity of an apple hmmmm

12:08 pm

(But I won't suggest that Ata jump once with and once without.)

12:08 pm

Ata will go any distance for Dogs for the Disabled.

12:08 pm

phew!

12:08 pm

One apple with parachute for Liz, one without for Ata.

12:08 pm

Problem solved.

12:08 pm

I was waiting for you to suggest that Vi

12:08 pm

I just hope her dogs are not disabled. (Feet in the U.S.)

12:09 pm

liz will be too terrified to remember apples!

12:09 pm

oh dear. one mention of apples, i step out for a few moments + return to such SAUCE-iness!

12:10 pm

LOL Eva

12:10 pm

You never know what one remark will lead to in this log, EvaN.

12:10 pm

Welcome back, EvaN. You understand, 'cause you're an in-cider.

12:10 pm

Talk about sauce of consciousness.

12:11 pm

guess you all are gonna JUICE this thing for all its worth...

12:11 pm

I'll not groan, in case Vi starts singing. 'Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me'

12:11 pm

and really, vicuna, that joke was just rotten to the core!

12:11 pm

We'll go right down to the core of it.

12:11 pm

Or 'I'll be with you in apple-blossom time'

12:11 pm

don't forget the appellate court!

12:11 pm

Eva just feels fruity

12:11 pm

Heh, Haz. That used to be TOG-boy's favorite song when he was about 5. Pretty funny to hear him singing it then.

12:12 pm

("Don't sit under the apple tree" was, i mean.

12:12 pm

Well played aebmusica.

12:12 pm

and the Appleachian mountains

12:12 pm

It's a nice innocent song.

12:12 pm

ty stid

12:12 pm

better fruity than crabapply

12:13 pm

He went through a phase of "How much is that doggy int he window" when he was 2. Now, alas, he favors "Jingle bells, batman smells..."

12:13 pm

robin flew away, wonder woman lost .... la la la *sings*

12:14 pm

jingle bells, batman smells, robin laid an egg! batmobile has lost its wheel and the joker got away!!

12:15 pm

Now you have got us all singing lol

12:15 pm

Yeah, that's the way we learned it, EvaN. But I think TOG-boy has a slightly different version. Maybe I'll actually have to listen next time he starts.

12:15 pm

well, i for one am glad that we have laid the apple puns to rest. apples to apples and dust to dust.

12:15 pm

LOL

12:15 pm

we obviously have ruder versions over here :P

12:16 pm

It's our puritan background, I guess, Ata.

12:16 pm

its a british thing. yall are just so polite all the time that once in a while you just go nuts. ;)

12:16 pm

I thought we were only getting started on the apples. We've still got Cockney rhyming slang to consider. 'up the apples and pears' - upstairs.

12:17 pm

The largest exporters of apples in 2006 were China, Chile, Italy, France and the U.S., while the biggest importers in the same year were Russia, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands.

12:17 pm

BRB kids.

12:17 pm

See you shortly, EvaN.

12:18 pm

I live down the road from the UK's National Apple Collection

12:18 pm

It's a bit of a shame that UK feels the need to import apples.

12:18 pm

I didnt know there was one Ata

12:18 pm

Is there really a national Apple Collection? Seems unusual.

12:18 pm

yep - google Brogdale

12:19 pm

national collections of all fruit. Brogdale's home to the apple, pear, and cherry collections I *think*

12:19 pm

Well if you're all going to be eating 3 a day in your new health regimen, it's going to be tough to supply enough on your own.

12:19 pm

I'm sure they'd give you plenty of samples for your experiment.

12:19 pm

I'm off to google and look around my house. There must be something that needs dusting--no I'm wrong.

12:19 pm

Dusting when there are apples to be discussed?

12:20 pm

Is stidgmere feeling okay?

12:20 pm

I'm worried about her.

12:20 pm

looking for dusting is somewhat disturbing

12:20 pm

Somewhat???

12:20 pm

I'm worried as well. Even I wouldn't worry about dusting when there are vital discussions afoot.

12:21 pm

I was understating

12:21 pm

Should we contact stidmama?

12:21 pm

We're not used to you understating. It took us unawares.

12:21 pm

I am English, you know

12:21 pm

WHo knows what far-reaching apple-cations the results of this discussion could have.

12:22 pm

Maybe we should wait to see if she comes to her senses before we alarm stidmama.

12:22 pm

Ah, understating. Your rhetorical techniques are too advanced for me!

12:22 pm

I just returned. It's interesting to eavesdrop on the chats. Rarely does it make sense without backing up a bit, but it can be quite interesting.

12:22 pm

I'd be worried if I was stidmama

12:23 pm

Hello Merk.

12:23 pm

Dont worry Vi her head is already in the clouds

12:23 pm

Hello, Merk. Does it make sense if you do back up? If so, we're clearly remaining far too lucid and logical.

12:23 pm

Hi Merk

12:23 pm

at least she's not singing

12:24 pm

**Writing prescriptions for psychotropics for Babble friends--will do apple-flavored**

12:24 pm

LOL Hi Scrabbler

12:24 pm

Hello, Scrabbler. You're sending us all to the tropics?

12:24 pm

Hello Scrabbler. Drugs - just what we need.

12:24 pm

Of course, apples grow best in temperate zones...

12:24 pm

scrabs is a relative of stigmere. we can just tell her

12:25 pm

Vicuna, you may feel like you are somewhere else.

12:25 pm

Do it gently though Ata

12:25 pm

That's right, Ata! It's a good thing you have a great mind like your grandfather and can remember things.

12:25 pm

Scrabs, Stidgmere has gone mad

12:25 pm

Hi, everyone. I don't have time to go any farther back than I did. Dust, apples, and jingle bells.

12:26 pm

That was very gentle Ata well done!!

12:26 pm

Nice bedside manner, Ata.

12:26 pm

I thought so LOL

12:26 pm

Yes, you've got back to the bit where the chat got interesting. Although sky-diving featured as well.

12:27 pm

The Flower of Kent is a green variety of cooking apple. According to the story, this is the apple Isaac Newton saw falling to ground from its tree, inspiring his laws of universal gravitation. It is pear-shaped, mealy, and sub-acid, and of generally poor quality by today's standards. Despite the name, it is likely of French origin. Though now largely gone from cultivation, a handful of Flower of Kent trees remain. Most, if not all, are said to descend from trees at Newton's Woolsthorpe Manor, and nearly all currently in existence descend from a single tree in East Malling, Kent. The National Fruit Collection at Brogdale[1] contains an example, listed as "Isaac Newton's Tree" (1948-729)

12:28 pm

I have led a sheltered life. I admit to never having heard jingle bells, batman smells, robin laid an egg! batmobile has lost its wheel and the joker got away!!

12:28 pm

Nor have I, Merk, I'm far too refined.

12:28 pm

Good evening everyone.

12:28 pm

I suppose you expect apple-ause for giving us that info, Ata! ;)

12:28 pm

I like the bit about the apple being rubbish, but probably French.

12:28 pm

Stidgmere is struggling?

12:29 pm

Hello elder!

12:29 pm

You never had sons, Haz. That's how you escaped.

12:29 pm

Hi Elder

12:29 pm

I thought perhaps I and my children missed a generation somewhere. And what an expert on apples we have here. I definitely learned something new today and I thank you all.

12:29 pm

Hello, elder.

12:29 pm

Stidgmere was talking about looking for dust. We're ever so slightly worried.

12:29 pm

Hi Elder

12:29 pm

Rare apples ah yes... Darcy Spice.

12:29 pm

That'll be it, Vicuna. I'm refined and sonless.

12:29 pm

I collect dust here

12:29 pm

Stidgmere preferred searching for dust than talking to us

12:29 pm

Not just looking for dust, but looking for dust that needed dusting! Now that's just sick.

12:30 pm

Dust .. looking for a waste of time. Here its very evident.

12:30 pm

You can understand why we felt we needed an intervention from a healthcare professional?

12:30 pm

Maybe we can start a National Dust Collection to go with the apples and fruit and all. I can make a generous contribution to get it started.

12:31 pm

National Collection of Dust Bunnies

12:31 pm

LoriP will be keen to join in.

12:31 pm

I will help.please please let me help

12:31 pm

And Other Dust-forms

12:31 pm

Maybe Stidgmere needs a nap, or did the grid make her loony?

12:32 pm

Can we get the nice CSI people in to tell us where all our dust comes from? They can shine torches and things and spray liquids and look handsome.

12:32 pm

Alas, I must leave now to spend the aftrenoon with my late friend Mary's kids. The "baby" is 2 today---a big girl!

12:32 pm

Back later - looking for dust!

12:32 pm

We can also have a wing for Hair Golems. I can contribute Cat fur golems and Blonde Tangles.

12:32 pm

I think she went off the rails when we talked about William Tell and how dangerous he was

12:32 pm

Bye Haz happy hunting

12:32 pm

obligatory torchlight scenes

12:32 pm

And I have lots of bunny fur in a variety of colors

12:33 pm

Bye, Scrabbler!

12:33 pm

Bye for now Haz. Good to see you albeit briefly.

12:33 pm

Bye, Haz!

12:33 pm

(Looking for dust? What an excuse. She's looking for gorgeous dust-inspectors.)

12:34 pm

And its time I went and made pork with apples sauce, followed by a dusty appple pie

12:34 pm

yummmm!

12:34 pm

Bye for now Cait.

12:34 pm

Bye see you tomorrow

12:35 pm

Sigh. The party's over. I should go, too. Time to sweep up the apples.

12:35 pm

See you tomorrow! Time to make tea.... Bye!

12:36 pm

bye dears!

12:44 pm

help please! em 6/21

afternoon all, I have Oreos and have just fixed coffee, anyone care to joni?

12:49 pm

12:49 pm

Hello Red and Dipp.

12:49 pm

hey elder

hello elder!

12:51 pm

Red good to see you. Coffee and biscuits .. lovely, just in time. :)

12:51 pm

Did red say coffee is being served? How nice!

Hi Annie! How are you?

12:51 pm

and hello everyone

12:51 pm

just fine and you?

12:52 pm

Annie , Hello and yes red is a good egg.

I'm good. a little over half way on the grid, a bit difficult!

12:53 pm

I found it difficult at first but then BR mentioned the abundance of gerund and comparative endings and that made it much easier

12:53 pm

elder, how are you doing?

that has made thing easier, I have been surprised at some of the things I could gerund!

12:56 pm

gerund everything :D

12:56 pm

Annie, fine thank you, apart from winter is drawing in, less light and the clocks go back soon yuk, and how are you ?

No sign of winter here yet. Still in the high 90's. I want to get under blankets, not too many blankets though!!

12:58 pm

Too hot for me, red

12:59 pm

90s may be a little hot for me, but would give it a go to miss this weather.

12:59 pm

I'm fine, elder, not looking forward to clocks going backwad

12:59 pm

*backward

1:01 pm

I love Autumn colours and without our weather we would not enjoy the beautiful springs flowers. But it does come at a price , grey days..

1:01 pm

Hi Annie, elder, red, Ata, et al.. late start for me today, but finally time to Babble, yay!

1:02 pm

Hi Aloy!

1:02 pm

hello Aloy.

1:02 pm

firework

1:02 pm

try an 's' on that ... fireworks

It has to drop soon. Hi Aloy and Congrats MERK!!!!

1:02 pm

congrats to Merk.. wtg!!!!

1:03 pm

Well done, Merk.

1:03 pm

hello all

1:03 pm

hi peri!

1:03 pm

hello peri.

1:05 pm

I love the summer and warm weather. vey dissapointed that I did not get to the beach at all :(

1:06 pm

*very* even

1:06 pm

would love to live near or at a beach

1:06 pm

I don't think I could live away from the beach now

1:07 pm

congrats, merk

1:07 pm

I live near the beach too and I love it

you should be using a shename rather than a surname anyway

there's a tiny hamlet in Oklahoma with my surname. they also have a park, a dam, and a reservoir named after me (blushes demurely)

Have returned from walking dog. May I complain that it is entirely too hot here.

2:44 pm

Gads, gwen, you're popular!!!

Hoover Gwen?

4:25 pm

hi to all. Anyone have a hint for the first an 6/21?

4:25 pm

bichon, not enough red blood cells

4:25 pm

wtg nrkii

4:26 pm

ty nrkii

4:26 pm

!!!!!

4:26 pm

I got turned away today from donating blood cause my red blood cell count was .2 under the limit. Bah

4:27 pm

I've only donated blood once, and it was a bad experience. Would like to get up the nerve to try again.

4:27 pm

You can dehydrate yourself for a day and go back ;)

4:28 pm

Used to give blood a lot; now they won't take it; they think I need it

4:28 pm

I have no problem with the donation part, but my Hb is always slightly under the Red Cross limit. I'm going to have to take iron pills

4:28 pm

check with the doc, bichon

4:28 pm

there are 13 different kinds of a6

4:29 pm

iron-deficiency is most common, but not the only one.

4:29 pm

I took iron for a few months; did nothing. And too much is bad for your heart

4:29 pm

I have no problem having blood drawn for tests. Not queasy or anything. But only time I gave blood, I got light-headed, and in my effort to not pass out, ended up hyperventilating and making a huge scene during which I thought I was having a stroke... UGH

4:30 pm

My doc says I'm perfectly fine but the Red Cross has a very high standard. And they wonder why they're always short of donations

4:30 pm

yeah, the first time I was turned down, I was like, "what do you mean?"

4:30 pm

the fear of being sued

4:31 pm

second re6/21?

4:31 pm

I got lightheaded because I really didn't understand the whole "did you eat" question.

nrkii, you can do it! be sure to drink something nice and sugary before hand, coke is my favorite.

4:31 pm

Lol nrk

4:31 pm

re 6 21 = to give off (as in, essence, odor, sound) again

I am not allowed to donate any more because I have been to Nigeria. have to admit, I am not that disappointed, though I have donated over a gallon of blood, and did give some in Liberia where they dont care so much if youhave been in Nigeria.

4:32 pm

if you go to Nigeria, you can't give blood any more?

4:33 pm

I should give blood just to have an excuse to drink a coke... I love coke.

4:33 pm

my brother works in nigeria

4:33 pm

I was in Africa and they let me donate after a year, but I was in Botswana, Namibia and Zambia.

Aparently they have some sort of HIV that the red cross cant test for. I do not have HIV however.

4:33 pm

Thanks nrkii. Never would have thought of that.

jac, I love love Nigeria, is your brother in oil?

4:33 pm

he's an ROV operator

what is a ROV?

4:34 pm

okay, I'm off to find what's left of my day

4:34 pm

remote operated vehicle, mini subs

4:34 pm

happy babbling all!

Cool. Nigeria is really a different world, I would like to go back someday, but have no plans to...

maybe Ghana next year.

4:35 pm

scuse me butting in, but what a charming thought - a brother in oil; i want my brothers in aspic

Aspic is a little twitchy isn't it?

4:36 pm

mine is already pickled lol

4:37 pm

lol jac, so is mine, i offered him springwater, but he prefers whiskey

4:37 pm

why isn't maxing a word. isn't that what you do to your credit card?

4:37 pm

clue for the first re 5/14

4:37 pm

hi again

4:38 pm

hey jmc

4:38 pm

both times I gave blood they told me never to do it again because I passed out cold

hi jmc...

4:38 pm

oooh, why was that jmc?

4:38 pm

the only reason I did it the second time was because my husband was having an operation and needed blood and it was prior to the tests for HIV

4:39 pm

I am a complete wimp when it comes to needles

4:39 pm

the staff completely freaked out.

i find it amusing that I poke people all day and get very wierd when it comes to being poked myself...

4:39 pm

oh you sweet self sacrificing woossy wife

4:40 pm

could use that one myself, boobear. Also wa6/30

4:40 pm

I passed out the first time they stuck my son too!

4:40 pm

a good poker is key!

I usually just tell the patient to lay down ahead of time...and keep ammonia near, I am not so nice, am I...

4:40 pm

no the poker was fine -- it was entirely me

jmc, you get a vaso-vagal reaction. One of the secretaries at work had one when getting the flu shot the other day...

4:41 pm

wooossssyyy I like that word -- what does it mean? wimp?

4:41 pm

i had a baby doctor do a 10 minute botch job on a "vein" the otherday - hit nerves instead, Bruising covered whole forearm. THen he hit a geyser and i spurted - quite dramatic

4:41 pm

well, that is why I don't give blood even though I would like to -- but my sister the universal donor does

4:41 pm

woossy (or possibly wussy) = wimp

4:42 pm

yikes gort!

oh gort, do not let those pretend MD's stick you, even real MD's aren't that good because they really dont do it often...

4:42 pm

the grown up doctor came in and said wryly, "oh, he got you in the 2nd try? he's improving, last one was 10!"

4:42 pm

wussy is a term of which I am not fond since it comes from a vulgar term for vagina

though I suppose its different in Australia...

4:43 pm

LOL jmc, don't think ozzies make that connection, but if they did, it would only make them use it more!

4:44 pm

the best person I know to give a shot was a dentist who talked while he was doing it and rubbed a different place on the gum simultaneously -- never felt it

4:44 pm

it only ever applies to blokes; no such thing as a woossy woman

4:44 pm

I am alone in my dislike of the term as near as I can tell

4:45 pm

how about help with the i with 3 words for nbt finally!

4:45 pm

hairy nosed dolphin and prisoner, jmc

4:45 pm

in6=prisoner

i plus the telephone is ****ing

4:46 pm

well that makes it even worse to me to think calling a man in effect a woman is an insult

4:46 pm

or i + place to dig ore

Gort! I just tried to combine the hairy dolphin nad prisoner to make one word.... darn!

4:46 pm

i+place to dig ore with different vowel ending

4:46 pm

No bullies in his class

6:15 pm

yes babrab, noticing that...

Yes, Dorens, I am. it really helps me to function.

that flu was a hard recovery.

Yay for no Bullies.

6:15 pm

Have you googled today? Invention of the bar code, so that replaced their logo.

6:16 pm

I agree. It has been much easier so far

6:16 pm

good DR that is nice to hear! I just dealt with some nasty bullies today. this boy had two after school detentions for picking on one of my poor little booboos who is possibly autistic,calling him dorky and been in his class forever. then TODAY he called this other girl the "dorky twin" and her sister is the "cool twin" this girl is so fed up. over sensitive and a real sweetie, tired of this stuff

dr i miised it ! how did they score?

DOrens, thats difficult to deal with. Kids have such a lack of perspective on what they are doing when they say these horrible things.

6:17 pm

Jeter hit a home run with guy on base

6:18 pm

but the principal just reamed him out last week for what he did! two after school detentions, and she said she had him understanding and thinking he was lucky not to be suspended

were was I you didn't tell me?!

6:18 pm

and he is such a smart kid, with lots of potential. going down the tubes... sixth grade

6:19 pm

well- I just emailed the teacher because one little boy said Jake got in big trouble today. The teacher replied Jake did not get in any trouble today. The boy was making up stories or eavesdropping and got it wrong

6:19 pm

nip it in the bud, DR that's right

6:19 pm

you are the one watching TO_ I am getting it from my hubby

6:19 pm

Got just over half, that's good enough for me, past midnight, need bed :)

Is he bored in School Dorens? I swear a lot of stuff comes up with being bored.

6:20 pm

Jake laughed and said I think someone else is going to be in trouble tomorrow

Good Night Moth man, thank you for sharing about the tsunami and quake. I will be looking to hear more news one that.

6:20 pm

i'm sure that may be red, but is no reason for hiim to be mean to kids when they're outsideon the playground

6:20 pm

GNight MothMan

6:20 pm

night mothman. sweet dreams

6:20 pm

anyone have the ha 6/24? or the he 6/24?

night mothman

6:21 pm

particularly since i spoke with him about it a few times last year, the principal last year and then again last week

he'll be too tired to bug anyone.

SOmething going on at home?

6:21 pm

6:21 pm

oh make hiim run laps? physical punishment? cruel and unusual

yes. barbarous.

6:21 pm

thank you

6:22 pm

yvw Ruru

6:22 pm

don't think so red, just think he's learned his power and he likes it. we have our work cut out with that kind of kid. he WILL learn that it isn't tolerated

I guess so, but, you could call it special track education.

6:22 pm

I was just in DR - ville...

Poke him with crutches!

6:22 pm

anyone have the ha 6/24?

This is why I am not involved with education!!!

6:23 pm

7:05 pm

nope not enough of a lead

they must pay their game - plug away, play smart

quakes are more common at the moment in the south east of the country... Melbourne has experienced about 3 quakes in as many months.

there were 3 today latest large near vanuatu

7:08 pm

I am very thankful that my husband's nephew and his family are not currently in Fiji where they normally live

SOB broke a tooth. so much for my cooking

7:09 pm

Oh MY!

Oh dear... the plates are shifting... indonesia, Samoa, Fiji... yep, the pacific ring of fire is definitely grumbling

7:10 pm

yes Mr P = someone is mad down in that ocean

7:10 pm

the problem is a quake releases pressure on one part of the fault and the pressure builds further up and down tha fault , it's like an earthquake storm

owl!! broke your tooth?? on what?

7:11 pm

are you ok TO ?

ok

hard macaroni

7:14 pm

alright.. was worried we lost you for a minute

but with my molars it could be anything. or nothing.

hurts, too. i already need one cap, this makes two

crap now i fee in a lousy mood and i was feeling so good at prospect of a day off

7:16 pm

I am sorry TO- that stinks!

owl, I feel for you, my tooth split and it hurts! seeing the dentist in a couple of weeks.

Pam, sorry I went away for a while.

at least i am home. i already had an er dental call while wokring away last month

why wait so long mr p?

TO I am sorry about your tooth. Yowza. that must hurt.

not much. cold does not bother it either.

well, I could go in today, but I hate dentists!! I need therapy and valium for about a week before seeing a dentist!

well, glad it doesnt hurt at all...

my wallet does

yes no kidding...

7:19 pm

Mr P - I took Jakester for 2 small fillings and he lost it- we were both crying, he said the dentist was goingto kill him... no way would he do this

I really need to go see a dentist.

7:19 pm

the kicker is the dentist is my cousin

i feel it aching already

i should marry a dentist. i will add that to the list along with carpenter and mechanic

oh DR!!

Dentist with hobbies....

thats funny DR!

7:21 pm

needless to say- no fillings are in his mouth yet

oh my dr!

7:22 pm

Temple Owl you are very brave.

i met a couple who met and married on match

I take my kids to a specialist pediatric dentist... she drugs them good!!

LOL mr P

7:24 pm

They were going to give him nitrous but he freaked before he even got in th edoor

7:24 pm

* the door

I know a lot of people who meet on line, it just has not been my thing. I dont see anything wrong with it, I have seen profiles and find it hard to find anyone interesting....TO, I think you have a better pool, living in a city area.

7:24 pm

I met my hubby online

7:24 pm

but i wouldn't recommend it

but hey, apparently my new COach is a man, so maybe that will work out...

Luke has had extensive work done to his teeth, and twice he has been in twilight sleep for some of the work

7:25 pm

never say never Red

7:25 pm

I am going to seek out a specialist Mr P

DR, you need to placebo him... give him special 'dentist' gum... it works!!

I didnt say never...

7:26 pm

ae5?

7:26 pm

ae5 rhymes with the F****godmother

Good idea DR, cause it is a real fear of dentists that poor Jake has... you would be amazed at how great pediatric dentists are at easing kids

You know, I went to the dentist for a very large filling, and right in the chair I said "Oh gosh I dont know if I can do this..." He looked at me calmly and very kindly said, if you can't you'll have to go home and do it later...I popped my mouth open and have a very nice filling.... Hard to find a good dentist.

7:27 pm

good idea Mr P - bribery didnt work

7:27 pm

That ae 5/10 word is a bird's nest suefrad625.

but I am not really afraid of the dentist, but the hygenist.

My dentist is bloody gorgeous!!

is he single?

The only reason I go is cause I get to check him out as he checks my teeth!

7:28 pm

help with the ge8 please?

so TO, why did you not join with Match today??

he is eye-candy!! and I have no idea if he is single...

9:00 pm

if your brain has frozen up, then it's ti4 for a break.

L's licked but its bed time...

9:01 pm

go red go!

9:01 pm

babrab -- I meant auteuil

Hi Stid, think of me, I get up at 4: 10 am, so we can be kindred spirits in different time zones.

9:02 pm

hey, stid, are you bit more relaxed now in classes?

9:02 pm

ahh, and I will be up at 4am mdt. so we can all have cyber coffee together

9:02 pm

Wow red -- and you stay up so late!

9:02 pm

gee, yep, early-birds, we!

9:02 pm

Une, is Nadal really such a toffee-nose?

9:03 pm

yes BR, thanks. In fact, one of my teachers tried to send me home because I didn't feel well, but I wanted to participate (at a distance so I didn't make others sick). So I stayed. Which I guess means I am enjoying myself.

nah, I was supposed to be asleep an hour ago, its why I take so many naps!!!

9:04 pm

naps are good!

9:04 pm

naps are VERY good

wash hands wash hands wash hands!!!

9:04 pm

ah, yes, I just got up from a nap, and meant to be back asleep by now, but ... *sigh*

9:04 pm

what's a toffee nose, BR??

9:04 pm

I have had such a busy day - feel a nap is def in my cards on the morrow

9:04 pm

(waiting for that answer)

9:04 pm

nap nap nap

9:04 pm

hi ruru

9:05 pm

that's my mantra, red. seasonal flu serum ran out here, not sure when the next batch will be available

9:05 pm

hands are washed, and alcohol-sanitzed over and over and over... my skin feels like tissue paper.

wash hands

9:05 pm

you will do great, stid, may as well enjoy it

9:05 pm

hi ru

9:05 pm

I napa all the time.. I live here

not all of us can be so lucky.

9:05 pm

oh ruru! LOL

9:05 pm

9:05 pm

purel has some sanitizer with lotion, stid

9:05 pm

hi ru

9:06 pm

hi jmc

9:06 pm

hi everyone.

lbd, I didnt get the flu shot, having had the flu in June and again this month, I think I am now immune. to 2 types of flu...

9:06 pm

thanks BR, and I may as well enjoy it even if I don't do as well as I hope, yes? But thinking positively here, I believe I will do well enough.

9:06 pm

leave it to kje to have a smart-assed remark

stid when you feel better...you will, I think ,feel more positively about it!!!

9:06 pm

she's good that way

9:06 pm

I have to use up my sanitzer without lotion before refilling, LBD, but yes, it's on my list of things to acquire!

9:07 pm

I am getting a flu shot.. the piggy one

9:07 pm

toffee-nosed (snobbish; pretentiously superior)

9:07 pm

lbd, you should SEE all the hand sanitizing stations in the hospital! unreal. they have been signs every where saying "foam in, foam out" and they encourage it at every junction

9:07 pm

clue for tr 8 pls

9:07 pm

feather -- how are your students? and your family? Doug still away?

9:07 pm

i don't get sick often, but working at the store with all the germies coming and going...i'd rather not take the chance

9:07 pm

snobbish, rafa?? no, not at all!

9:07 pm

kids are great, i have yet again a super class

9:07 pm

BOO! *grin* (practicing for Halloween...)

9:07 pm

doug's away. i have no voice.

9:07 pm

I don't think he is snobbish at all br

9:07 pm

it did make me wonder how many "supergerms" will result....

9:07 pm

they even put sani stations in our school!

9:07 pm

wood plant + what a hammer drives into a stud

9:07 pm

he is very nice to the press and his fans

9:07 pm

so pleased to hear that feather!

A friend of mine who is a shrink says its very hard to treat medical personnell that are OCD because its sort of a benefit for the job, just not for life...

9:07 pm

deciduous and coniferous + tenpenny, brads, toe, finger...

9:08 pm

I do appreciate the ones at the grocery store, however

9:08 pm

he is amazingly talented at tennis too

9:08 pm

:-D

9:08 pm

I got rid of all the antibaterial soap when my husband died. I needed it for him and his dialysis but I had a friend die from a supergerm in Mexico

9:09 pm

me too, Trif. I've even got hubby using the wipes on the carts

9:09 pm

I thought he was a curler?

9:09 pm

lbd how can that possibly be word?

9:09 pm

our district has said we can't use alcohol based sanitizers anymore

9:09 pm

that too, BR :-)

9:09 pm

lol

9:09 pm

fear of kids sucking out the alcohol, feather?

9:09 pm

he makes women's toes curl is that what you mean?

9:09 pm

*looking at her trees for fingers and toes*

9:10 pm

Purel is good for tick removal ..

9:10 pm

and he must have a connection with the seeders cause he is always playing one of the Little Sisters of the Poor

9:10 pm

running joke with BR :-)

9:10 pm

because the kids are so small, and they absorb it into their system after a while. i guess there were studies that it caused neurological damage over time.

9:10 pm

we don't have antibacterial soap at home, but I have hand sanitzer in my car -- I use it every time I get in after being in a school setting. The numbers of kids who NEVER wash their hands... *ewww prompt*

9:10 pm

that is why they have alcohol free vanilla is that it was widely drunk during pohibition

9:10 pm

that makes sense, feather -- so what are you doing to try to keep everyone cleaner?

9:10 pm

I drink a glass of bleach daily to purify myself

soap and water is my favorite, as it kills C-difficle, a nasty diarrhea causing bug, and the alcohol foam does not.

9:10 pm

tastes like tequilla

9:11 pm

gag, ru

9:11 pm

ru you bring new meaning to free white and over 21!

9:11 pm

lol

9:11 pm

just lots of handwashing. we had a cool lesson run by our PTA, using a blacklight box and "fake" germs, to show the kids where they miss when they wash

9:11 pm

well, what i've read is the sanitizers do not replace soap and water, but are good for inbetween situations

9:11 pm

if you guys SWEAR never to tell anyone what I am about to tell you, I will let you in on a very, very gross secret....

9:11 pm

you must be bleached like a sheet

9:11 pm

neat idea, feather!

9:11 pm

I am full of cheer!

9:12 pm

yeeeeessss???

9:12 pm

sterno will make you warm to the occasion

9:12 pm

cross my heart trif

9:12 pm

secret???

ooooh!

9:12 pm

9:15 pm

sorry everyone knows I can spell lol jill!

9:15 pm

9:17 pm

maybe... but I am still not drinking it. *stubborn mama look* or shaking hands with people!

9:17 pm

but i am doing my job which is representing my clients' position even when I don't agree with it

Oh once it hits the air, it isnt considered steril, and I dont recommend drinking urine.

9:17 pm

wow trifioso.

9:17 pm
