1:50 am

hi again....internet was out for 1.5 hrs grrrrr

1:51 am

Hello, dart

1:51 am

Hi Dartie! I hate that too ..you have cable or DSL?

1:52 am

good night all.. have fun..thanks again BR.. I can rest in peace..

1:52 am

be well

1:52 am

cable...they never tell you when they are working on it...asked one time if they could send an e-mail out for the planned outages...they said it would be to hard to do...but i get at least 2 a month from them trying to sell me their internet phone service...go figure

1:53 am

too hard to

1:53 am

a friend of mine has cable telephone...he can't wait for his contract to be up to switch back

1:54 am

between the mailing/callings and emails we get from them for the other stuff

1:56 am

maybe they don't even know when it'll be down...wouldn't be surprised

1:58 am

for the unplanned ones i can see....last year went down two nights in a row...at the exact same time...10 minutes after the flip....hard to imagine two unplanned outages happening at the same moment two nights in a row

2:01 am

I have cable, too, can't get used to the phone not working when it's down, it was always a given that our phone worked even when the power was out.

2:02 am

I have dsl and bell phone

2:03 am

down at my little library there are 4 pc's on satellite internet, I sneaked down there at midnight during the last cable outage to Babble, haha!

2:04 am

lol rbud...lucky that's available to you

2:04 am

yep, I'm the only one working there, I have the keys.

2:04 am

Midnight! that's devotion. Hello all

2:04 am

hi lynxx

2:05 am

hi, lynxxx - that's when the grid changes here, I'm on grid time.

2:05 am

the last time I had a service outage, I asked the SP why I should have any faith in the crack team working to restore service when that crack team could not maintain the service in the first place.

2:05 am

lol BR

2:06 am

oh you're lucky there too rbud...wish it was an earlier start time here

2:06 am

try St. John's justy

2:06 am

lol dart...

2:07 am

ooo rbud for some reason I thought you were on the west coast....but I see midwest

2:07 am

with a 350 word puzzle..after getting home from the bar lol

2:07 am

Our cable goes out a lot, like when the town guys mow the lot next door, they hit the box all the time.

2:08 am

that sucks....before my son got married he had cable for his computer and I had dsl...although his was slightly faster mine was much more reliable

2:08 am

and once I drove down the block to find the neighborhood kids had taken the cover off the box, had it in the street using it for skateboard tricks, lol!

2:09 am

I have at long last returned

2:09 am

west!!

2:09 am

Hi West!

2:58 am

how long a trip was that Jilli and how much did it cost (if you don't mind me asking?)

3:00 am

the ferry ride is about and hour and a half and cost about $32. It was late tonight so we had to wait. This was a direct ferry non-stop, Vancouver to Salt Spring.

3:01 am

is that per car one way?

3:01 am

firewords......gotta run...the outage kept me up too late lol............ni4 all

3:01 am

11:08 am

*wanders off again*

11:09 am

hi, all

11:09 am

something odd is going on

11:09 am

In Babble Expert, clues load, but the Babble page will not load

11:11 am

Dr God is having trouble with the database. Try again soon. He's working on it. :)

11:14 am

11:14 am

Same here

11:18 am

11:21 am

Yay Babble is back. Thanks Dr_G for sorting it out.

11:21 am

11:24 am

Hi all - good grid today?

11:24 am

11:24 am

lol Wolvie babble has been down for about 5 hours so who knows!

11:25 am

I was just looking at the chat - too funny - this is the first time I tried to sign in today. Talk about timing. :-)

11:25 am

*Frantically entering in words while Babble is still up *

11:31 am

sorry that is for the we5

11:32 am

hooty hoot! glad it's back up, maybe I can finish! Hi, all! :D

11:32 am

11:33 am

11:34 am

stop it stop it my staff is looking at me for laughing out loud!

11:34 am

sgone

11:35 am

But I'm serious, jmc! Grape jam is the we5 I believe you seek! =)

11:35 am

ooo that was a clue? I thought is was a self identification

11:35 am

ty ty

11:36 am

hey - got an 8 all on my own - an le. cool beans

11:36 am

I'll assume you mean "from Wales" was a self-identification, not "grape jam." If anything, I'd be apricot.

11:37 am

Hey Vi!!!!

11:37 am

hi Vic

11:37 am

FM!!!! Wassup?

11:38 am

Had coffee with Ata and Hobbit today :)

11:38 am

*beams around while frantically trying to make up for lost word-finsing time*

Hobbit drinks coffee?

11:38 am

Aww, man. Lucky you! How'd the plummet go?

11:38 am

ata's animal would. ;-0

11:38 am

LOL

11:39 am

Ata's animal would drink tea, I think.

11:39 am

but I know what it is to renege on a bet

11:39 am

sorry got stopped by the silly hotline

11:39 am

true - but it would be worldly enough to do coffee with guests I think

11:39 am

The plummet went v well Ata Liz and friend raised £3000 and there were many more jumpers that day too.

11:40 am

the few pics i saw on fb looked great

11:40 am

that is good news FM

11:40 am

And Liz survived. Phew!

11:40 am

I think I am a pecan -- a somewhat sophisticated and very southern nut

11:40 am

lol jmc

11:40 am

They all did great, Ata loved the freefall, Liz was terrified but kudos all of them.

11:41 am

So did the dogs jump too? I never understood that part.

11:41 am

hey science

11:41 am

nice earrings btw

11:41 am

lol, jmc. I thought we were limited to jam. If we can be any fruit, vegetable, nut, or grain I'll have to think about it some more. ;)

11:41 am

ROFL, no - but that would indeed be a sight to see jmc, throw in a few cats and the old adage would be realised.

11:42 am

lol, FM

11:42 am

;-0

11:42 am

I bet you could make a pecan jam

11:42 am

I make jalapeno jam

11:43 am

Maybe if you give it a sax and a drum set, jmc.

11:43 am

hmmm. syrup yes. so hey - why not?

11:43 am

what I don't understand FM? What adage?

11:43 am

oh major groan vic. lol

11:43 am

(raining cats and dogs)

11:43 am

"It's raining cats and dogs"

11:43 am

damn vic stop making laugh out loud!

11:44 am

lol but you wouldn't need me for that! I would refuse to jump anyway. I am terrified of heights.

11:44 am

I need more sleep I am not keeping up with the pace today!

11:45 am

jalapeno jam and jelly - yum!

11:45 am

it is sooooo good on roast beef science

11:47 am

i went to the hot sauce fest and bought some bread nad butter jalapenos and some garlic also yummy

12:39 pm

12:40 pm

FM, Even though the site would not open?

12:40 pm

Ghost Hunters fans, has anybody watched Ghost Lab on Discovery Channel?

12:41 pm

WTG nono!

12:41 pm

happy babbling everyone

12:41 pm

bye nono

12:41 pm

so,even though babble was down,i could of just typed in licketys babble clues into my browser??

12:42 pm

FM..But the babble site would not open so how would I have gotten to the clues

12:42 pm

i guess so crossy

12:42 pm

#cos Lickety had run his program before babble site went down so the grid was sitting on licketys site and you can enter words there and see whats what - the only prob then is when Babble comes back up you have to manually type the words into babble if you don't use 'expert'.

Annie, when the site first froze you could get to lickety. After that I could the "could not connect message", but I keep lickety bookmarked anyway.

12:43 pm

mm live and learn...

I could sb I got

12:44 pm

34 left - I am going to take a break and mow the lawn - bbl

12:44 pm

sling slit

12:44 pm

how do you bookmark? do you mean to save as a favorite or put the lickety onto the toolbar? I hope my book "Teach Yourself Computers" is selling well.

12:44 pm

off to the pb inge

12:45 pm

Mind you tis so rare that the babble site goes down especially for as long as it did today.

Sorry bookmark = macspeak for favorite.

12:45 pm

LOL Annie (())

12:45 pm

mm ive heard about theese mac users lol

12:45 pm

hi, i`m not the only one that had trouble with the site then

12:46 pm

Any clues please for di 7/40

12:46 pm

12:46 pm

I have a group in my menu (bookmarks/favorites) called Babble, in which I have lickety, babble, more words, babanon etc.

12:46 pm

Add a suffix to di 4/5

12:47 pm

does anyone have a clue for es please?

12:47 pm

12:52 pm

after retyping all 185 words, I finally got fireworks. Webpage refused dto recognize words done before 11:20

12:53 pm

good work, inge

Well, I bet it's the fastest you've ever entered words into Babble, Inge!

12:54 pm

good for you inge - you deserve double fireworks for your effort

12:54 pm

I wish thee had been a way to find out tht the web page was not up from Dr. God's end. I emailed himn twice to get a yes or no. I suppose everybody else asked the same question

12:56 pm

Or am I the only one who does not trust her computer to be perfect?

I agree Inge. I wish there was a central point where he could post a quick message. I evntually put a message on facbook, and aaw something on Babanon but that was after many hours.

sorry *facebook* and *saw*

12:57 pm

I always work on the premise that if babble and sudoku are not responding but all other sites and email are working then it must be a prob at Dr_G's end inge.

12:57 pm

was BAbanon up?

12:57 pm

having trouble with the gr words, any clues please?

12:58 pm

I will follow tht advice enxt time, FMitch

Yes, Babanon was up (not connected, is it) but I couldn't originally post. Then I went and registered.

gr plus vowel plus not your daughter

12:59 pm

gr + break the law and go to pr**** (and plural)

12:59 pm

gr + vowel + fathers male heir

1:00 pm

thanks Sally, buff and inge, got them

Or Galictis vittata if you prefer :-)

1:01 pm

Time for me to bid you all adieu. *poof*

Me too. Must go and get supper. Good luck to you all, and good night.

1:28 pm

second that, scrabbler and hi

1:28 pm

I have to leave soo to spend th afternoon & evening with Mary's kids. mary died 1 yr ago tonight. Sad day.

sorry scrabs that is sad.

Who is Mary?

1:30 pm

scrabbs, so very sad. how are the children doing?

1:30 pm

Too sad to grasp. My friend was diagnosed with brain cancer 2 yrs ago. She became ill in 3rd trimester, was induced at 37 wks, diagnosed 2 days after delivery, and died 6 days after baby's first birthday. Kids are now 9, 5 and 24 mo.

Oh my gosh. Is her husband okay? I cannot imagine that, even though you know my loss story

1:31 pm

The kids seem fine, with occ comments about Mom, but they will have to process so much as they develop and have more questions about their Mom.

Of course.

1:31 pm

Uh, oh, SG, I do not know your story

1:32 pm

back

lost my son - drowned when he was 12

1:32 pm

death anniversaries are hard

that was 9 years ago

1:32 pm

Hi JM

1:32 pm

oo science I did not know that!

they are a reminder of how much we loved those people!

i thought you two knew this from some other random chog

1:33 pm

science, so sorry to hear about your son

1:33 pm

it is 16 years this friday since my husband died and 27 years this friday since we met

1:33 pm

((SG)) OMG---so tragic. I am so sorry. Such suffering for you and your family.

1:33 pm

My nephew is 21, SG, so your son was born in 1988 too?

yes on June 23

1:33 pm

I saw a friend 3 years ago who hadn't heard that my husband had died and I assumed that she knew.

well, i did not know that! sorry to you also :(

1:34 pm

JM, you have been a widow for a long time, yet I bet his illness and death seem so fresh

1:34 pm

{{{{{{science}}}}}}

1:34 pm

Yes, Scrabbler, a day of remembrance ... but more than a sad day ... it is a day of caring ... one you have embraced for Mary and her children .. a day of renewal of your commitment ... although there is sadness .... there is more ... and Mary's children are the beneficiaries of the "more" you are a huge part of, Scrabbler

3 years is not long

1:34 pm

some days I forget; other days it seems like yesterday

Thanks, BR, you are the best! Hugs to you for the great perspective

1:34 pm

no my husband died 16 years ago science

1:35 pm

it is so sweet of you to help scrabs

still is not a long time for our friend, grief

1:35 pm

people often forget anniversaries of people that they were not super close to

1:36 pm

TY, BR. I promised Mary that I would love & guide her kids. Your words are kind, BR. Having a weekly playdate + dinner with the kids both helps me + them.

1:36 pm

no science -- there will always be something missing and October will always be a hard month for me I suspect

understood

1:37 pm

Do either of you get "messages" or clues of your son's/husband's presence?

1:37 pm

hugging in the ether is singularly unsatisfying

1:37 pm

the year or so after he died a bit. Not so much now a days.

1:38 pm

I was in meeting for worship when a woman who was not a close friend stood and said that Rick had asked her to tell the Meeting that he was okay

1:39 pm

she said she had asked him in her heart why are you asking me to tell them and he said -- because you will do it.

1:39 pm

I shook like leaf for 45 minutes -- one of the young Friends came and sat next to me and held me

i dream of Luca periodically. He always knows that he is "dead" and is simply visiting. I never want to wake up. He is always 12 and healthy!

1:40 pm

many years later when the woman was in a nursing home she would tell all her visitors about that Meeting

1:40 pm

Grief sure is tough--wondering why, trying to reconcile it, wondering about a "plan", are they OK and at peace...

1:40 pm

TY both for sharing

I went to a pyschic once for "funb." He sensed that something was going to happen to Luca. It did about 6 years after

1:42 pm

Spooky

JMC did the woman know Rick???? or you????

Yes, I often want to call that psychic and tell him what happened to Luca.

1:43 pm

hi all

1:43 pm

she knew us as we were members of the Meeting and Quaker Meetings are fairly small churches

hey nrki

1:44 pm

but she was not a particular friend just some one who went to the same Meeting

1:44 pm

hi nrkii

1:44 pm

Sorry such a tough day Scrabs... I'm sure Mary is so happy you keep her in your heart and you keep close to her children

Interesting. I wish I could have a conversation with Luca and I am sure you feel the same way

1:44 pm

Hi N! I am leaving for NJ in the morning. I am having separation anxiety over my bunnies, but my nephew will care for them

1:44 pm

So I thought of you today at the gym scrabs

1:44 pm

where will you be in NJ?

1:44 pm

I feel sad--Mary should be with her kids, not me, not a nanny

LOL - jmc - think of me at the gym since I have not been in ages!

1:45 pm

a trainer was telling how a friend's little girl's pierce erring was infected and the trainer took the earring out and put ice on it

1:45 pm

Anyone ever read Brian Weiss' "Many Lives, Many Masters?"

1:45 pm

I'm a "reason for everything" kind of person, so while I don't mean to say Mary died for a reason, I think the kids DO need you and you're adding something to their lives that will serve such a great purpose down the line

1:45 pm

the friend had been so freaked out she was going to take the girl to the emergency room!

no what is it?

1:46 pm

nope never read it

1:46 pm

Ouch, jm

just take out the earrings and use some neosporin

and peroxide

1:46 pm

Ouch, yes, but emergency room!?!?!?

1:46 pm

Interesting book, I have read it many times, about past lives, our purpose here, as revealed through a psychiatrist's work doing regression hypnotherapy.

1:46 pm

peroxide + neosporin is my answer for many things

1:47 pm

I am fond of peroxide

i also like benedryl creme

1:47 pm

I use it to rinse my teeth

i am not sure that i believe in past lives

1:47 pm

*shows gleaming white teeth*

1:47 pm

No need for the ER, but people get irrational, and people don't understand what is a real emergency. Also, one should avoid being an ER patient unless it is an emergency

life's necessities: duct tape, peroxide, neosporin, benedryl

1:48 pm

I have all of those! I'm all set!

1:48 pm

I've got 16 left... is there a lickety list today?

1:48 pm

I kept thinking -- How could the mother have pierced ears and never have them get infected? If so, why was she so freaked out?

1:48 pm

SG, it is a fascinating book that "makes sense" for me. Also, Melvin Morse's books on near-death experiences for kids--Closer to the Light.

1:48 pm

142 left

yes

1:49 pm

you forgot gorilla glue

1:49 pm

cool... want to get one more L from bottom right before I list

1:49 pm

Who knows what is true/real and what happens when we die? Mysterious.

it is - we are all a plethora of photons

1:50 pm

And I must leave to play with Mary's kids now. I shall return tonight. JM + SG, ty for sharing.

Enjoy your time with the wee ones. Hugs!

1:51 pm

enjoy the kids, Scrab, and safe travels tomorrow

1:51 pm

They make me laugh & smile. Bye!

2:58 pm

After the division of the Standard Oil Trust into different 'Baby Standards' in 1991, its European activities were carried on by Jersey Standard. This company originally operated under the name of Standard APC (American Petroleum Company), but from 1929 it sold oil products under the trade name of Esso, which is derived from the abbreviation of Standard Oil (S.O.).

2:58 pm

Now it is ExxonMobil

3:00 pm

Saw an interesting doco on the Exon spill the other day,. Wow, that community is stil suffering and doesn't look like it will recover. What a nightmare

3:00 pm

it was not used much in Texas. Standard oil was barred from oil well drilling in Texas because it got caught slant well drilling (stealing oil from under some one else property) So it bought out a local oil named Humble and that was the gas stations in Texas until Exxon was coined. I used to go to the company picknicks with my daddy

3:00 pm

And they still haven't paid a penny ..

I was thinking Exon, I can see how it evolved into that.

3:01 pm

Your note doesn't mention Enjay either BR--another branch.

3:01 pm

And Exxon has got appealed the fines so often they are hugely reduced so no real compensation for those effected

3:01 pm

the name Exxon was found from a huge search to assure that it didn't spell anything in any language

3:02 pm

picknicks? is that how it is spelled in the States

3:02 pm

I can't spell lynxx I think it is actually picnics

3:02 pm

but I was typing fast not looking

3:03 pm

The company PICNICs were called Humble (no H sound) Day and then became Exxon Day

3:03 pm

lol, just checking, so many words are spelled phonetically in the States

3:03 pm

Hi, does anyone have th sr word?

Did ya'll google that? I'm feeling a little under-educated.

3:04 pm

sr4 anagram of Dear S***

3:04 pm

Like cough, rough, though, through ..

3:04 pm

I grew up with it bunny. My daddy worked for Humble/Exxon and they also paid for my college on a scolarship

3:05 pm

3:05 pm

Sgt Schultz and I have a lot in common, bunnyvicious ... I spend a lot of time with google

Ahh, then I feel a little better.

3:06 pm

3:06 pm

The land of the leprechauns was even better than we anticipated. The views were magnificent, the history tragic, the people wonderful, and the food plentiful and delicious. A great place to spend some time.

4:21 pm

where the lions played with danial: de* + not the lion or the straw man but the *** man; pl

4:22 pm

You still on line, Stidmere?

4:22 pm

doh fish me lol thank you BR

4:22 pm

Yes, soodlebum, I'm pondering the beginnings with s.

4:22 pm

I have a bit of time before picking up the younger Stidkid after school.

4:23 pm

No clues yet please, BUT is the es 8 a fish?

4:23 pm

Are you keeping Ireland as pretty as when we were there?

4:23 pm

Glad you enjoyed your holliers!!

4:23 pm

Yes, Stid! I am personally keeping the place pristine - awaiting your return!!

4:24 pm

Not at all fishy ..

4:24 pm

oh got it yay me

4:24 pm

We are very much advocates for Ireland as a result of our travels. I really have never seen children as beautiful as the Irish babes.

stid, was it very easy to get around?

4:28 pm

We went with a tour and the bus driver was excellent. The towns of western Ireland are walkable and delightful to stroll in.

How was the tour? I have been thinking about taking my Mom, but she would probably not do well with the tour option, as all she really wants to do is take photographs on her own schedule!

4:29 pm

We also walked to the Giants' Causeway and up to Dunaran ? on Inishmor. The walkways are not always smooth but after thousands of years there can be divits.

And now, Stidg, I am officially Jealous, I think Giants causeway looks amazing.

4:30 pm

10 to go not sure if I like this grid or not it doed not talk to you very well, lol

4:30 pm

thats all those octagon stone formations in the water?

4:30 pm

We met one lady who just went to Dublin and then took day tours on small vans to nearby beautiful areas. That would be a really good, manageable way to take a delightful Irish vacation.

4:30 pm

You were very lucky with the weather when you were here, Stid

4:30 pm

Yes, and some aren't octagon. I always thought they were pentagons but there are about five different crystal shapes.

4:31 pm

FIRWORKS!!!!!!

thats a great idea Stidg.

4:31 pm

congrats, millsbooks

4:31 pm

Well, it pays to have Irish ancestors when it comes to luck. Millsbrooks, luckyone there.

6:13 pm

would like bacon shoes to go with my french toast purse

6:15 pm

(you can even buy a bacon skateboard at that site!)

6:18 pm

Evening, all. I'm outraged.

6:19 pm

Why, Judi? (Hi again all)

6:19 pm

omg! there is an actual site called bacon babble hehe

6:19 pm

why so judi?

6:20 pm

Can someone explain to me how to play?

6:20 pm

Our proxy state server has blocked BABBLE. I wept this morning.

6:20 pm

cind, go up to Help -- that will give you a start

6:21 pm

Why on earth would they do that, judi?

6:21 pm

Alas, I can no longer Babble while at work. Mother f**king nazis!

6:22 pm

aaahhh, I see

6:22 pm

I can not babble at work either

6:22 pm

but this morning - I could not log in at all but lickety worked

6:22 pm

Well, hurrah for you, anyway Crossy. Babble Bacon. Truly heaven on earth.

6:23 pm

I was trying from home

6:23 pm

Yes, Doc1965! Same with me. The list came up, but no Babble. Stop. I'm going to cry again.

6:24 pm

judi,do you have access to those new internet sticks from rogers or at&t,both will enable you to babble away on your laptop at work;)

6:24 pm

What I am saying is it might be the Babble stie and not work

6:25 pm

Hmmm. I might have to try that. I work from a desktop puter at work (and at home for that matter). However, I do believe I could plug in an air card and tap into a local wave.

The Babble site itself was down for a bit this morning, maybe you tried at that time

6:26 pm

For what it's worth, I couldn't get Babble for the first half of the morning and then all of a sudden it was working again.

6:26 pm

Really, rosalie? I didn't know that. I never tried in the afternoon. **Hope springs eternal**

6:27 pm

Well, if you hear me sqeeeeing tomorrrow a.m., you'll know why (I'll have reunited with Babble).

6:27 pm

ive been looking at those internet stick for the wife,quite interesting really

6:28 pm

off to help jake with math - thanks for the confirmation of what I said Luv

6:28 pm

bbl _

6:29 pm

Are we talking about an air card, crossy, or is a "stick" something different?

6:29 pm

though i imagine they dont work in the boonies,as they run off the cell network and repeater towers im guessing

6:29 pm

air card is same thing just different local lingo ;)

6:30 pm

sec judi...

6:31 pm

Hmmm. Sounds vaguely pornographic. Guess I'll have to check it out now.

6:32 pm

lol no porn,unless you surf it lol

6:33 pm

I'll just ask hubby. He's up on all the latest technogeek toys.

6:33 pm

6:34 pm

though my money is on the at&t version of this

6:34 pm

Oh, he'll love it when I ask, "Hey, honey, what's a rocket stick??"

6:37 pm

lol

6:37 pm

you kidding just mention your interested and he will move heaven and earth to find one lol

6:38 pm

hi again :)

6:38 pm

Ha! More likely he'd want to know where I heard that phrase and who is this Crossy guy I've been chatting with!!!

6:40 pm

lol

6:43 pm

Yeah. He'll probably come kick your ass... right after he's done vacuuming the kitchen floor. ROFLMAO!

6:44 pm

lol..,work that boy lol

6:45 pm

actually im ahead of him..all my dishes are done;P

6:45 pm

Lucky for him I misplaced my whip.

6:45 pm

ohh kinky

6:48 pm

if it's kinky, is he lucky that she misplaced it?

6:50 pm

Oh, bother. Now he wants to use the computer. I guess I go throw in some laundry while he updates his I-Pod. I am merciful. BBL.

6:50 pm

How was your visit with the kids?

i for some reason dislike the new LA version, but I am very attached to the original charaters, I have to remind myself that they are totally unreal...

7:47 pm

I feel that way about CSI and the others.

7:47 pm

I thought about you all afternoon , what a good thing you are doing and how difficult it must be at times

7:47 pm

and I still illya kuryakin

7:48 pm

see him that is

7:48 pm

Me too Red trying to get into the la version , but its not really working for me

7:48 pm

But CSI Miami is still one of my favs

7:49 pm

the way they film that is just a nice picture

7:49 pm

MaMa, are you asking me that question? Did you read the chat log from earlier today?

7:49 pm

Yes Scrab

7:49 pm

Why do I feel like I just landed on Mars? I have no idea what anyone here is talking about. <sigh> That's what happens when you are in a strange land.

7:50 pm

Im sorry sometimes I just listen and dont participate

7:50 pm

not mind I can't stand Horatio and Alexx gives me the creeps

7:51 pm

I am always just on and off with not much time in the day with all of my little charges

7:51 pm

Oh jmc I 've grown to appreciate H

7:52 pm

The kids had no id4 that is was their Mom's 1 yr anniversary, even when a huge delivery of balloons arrived with a card. The nanny explained that Daddy would talk to them.

7:52 pm

I sit here several times a day and scan the chog , grab ac

7:52 pm

clue and then jump up again

7:52 pm

Can I ask what's going on Scrab?

7:53 pm

They are very young to attach a date /day with the loss

7:53 pm

As they did on her birthday and then Mother's Day, the kids sent balloons to Mommy in heaven. It was so symbolic and touching to take part in that. I sent a balloon off too, then her husband tied 3 balloons on to the "memory tree" out front--it was planted for her in the early summer.

7:54 pm

My friend died 1 yr ago tonight and left behind a young husband and 3 young kids--at that time they were 8, 4 and 12 mo.

7:54 pm

My sister and her first 2 children lost their Dad?husband when the kids were only 3-4 yrs old

7:55 pm

Dad/husband* he was 29 yrs old

7:55 pm

She became ill during her last trimester, was induced 3 wks early, diagnosed with brain cancer 2 days after delivery, had surgery 5 days after delivery...radiation, chemo, rehab, much suffering...

7:55 pm

What happened and how are they now?

7:55 pm

The kids are now 19 and 20 themselves

7:55 pm

Oh, I am so sorry. It is just 2 years since very close friends of friends were killed in an accident. Both parents and one sister. A sister and brother were left behind and this week is the boy's Bar MItzvah. There is so much sadness while everyone is trying to make his occasion joyous.

7:56 pm

Dad had a nasty sinus Cancer

7:56 pm

was diagnosed and lived less than a year after , with multiple major surgeries and including losing an eye

7:57 pm

Sister remarried 4 yrs ago and has 2 more beautiful children and wonderful 2nd husband

7:58 pm

Awful stories from both of you....oh, MaMa, great outcome!

7:58 pm

Yes we have been blessed Scrabbler

7:59 pm

In these times so many of us have tragic stories and losses but we still have so much to be grateful for

8:00 pm

The 5 yr old wants so much to visit his mother in heaven. Heaven has been described as such a wonderful place that he wants to be there with his Mom.

8:00 pm

Mich that is so sad, but joy in life still a blessing

8:00 pm

He was very disappointed to learn that there are no telephones in heaven.

8:01 pm

There are so many stories. Just a couple of months ago the father and husband of a family close to us was driving his new daughter-in-law's sisters & brothers home from his son's wedding and was killed. He was the father of 10, the youngest is just 2.

8:01 pm

Children are so literal sometimes I think it helps us adults keep it all in perspective

8:02 pm

That is just awful Min

8:02 pm

Mich*

8:02 pm

Almost daily I read of tragedies in the news

8:03 pm

Yes, we have all rallied around but sometimes there is just nothing to say to ease the pain.

8:03 pm

Yes we all have a tale to tell, it would be nice if we used those to unite us instead of all the negative things that we let devide us

8:04 pm

sorry I dont mean to melancholy ,

8:04 pm

hi thaler!!!!!!!!!!!its minka

8:04 pm

It is so true MaMaWa, a newspaper story is so different when you know the people involved. We should try and realize we are all people, all have stories.

8:04 pm

It is so true MaMaWa, a newspaper story is so different when you know the people involved. We should try and realize we are all people, all have stories.

8:21 pm

We were really wild this year and went out to dinner!

8:22 pm

those ceramic dishes often cause the problem in the first place

8:22 pm

Yes that is what I thought , jmc, those girls are crazy

8:22 pm

i mean really,who needs a 8 pund ceramic dish to hold a 8 oz bar of soap???:

8:22 pm

for a good cause of course

8:24 pm

there is a spray application that will seal the grout scrabbs

8:24 pm

MaMa--get this, I brought 3 tiles outside and filed them against a rough rock--I took the caveman approach rather than buy a $50 tool set that I may never use again. But the Dremel set sounds cool--maybe a Christmas gift.

8:24 pm

makes it last even longer

8:24 pm

I sprayed the seal on already!

8:24 pm

Good job Scrabbler. I have been wondering how that turned out since you were so reluctant to start the job.

MaMa, do you have Geico commercials where you live? "So easy that even a caveman can do it." I just thought very simply--I tend to have a reductionist approach to life. It worked!

8:35 pm

I'm right next door in Delaware. I may have to crash in on that one.

I have old friends in NJ -- Monroe Twp

8:36 pm

Twp? That's a Welsh word meaning 'a bit daft/not the full shilling'.

8:36 pm

Crossy - PB for you!

8:36 pm

im still trying to figure out the words "fer sure' and grody to the max" and "gag me with a spoon" lol

8:36 pm

township, jac, lol!

8:37 pm

Well, I was wondering about shutting up too as I feel as though I am keeping the noise level reasonable tonight

8:37 pm

Thanks for thinking of me as a young girl, Crossy. However, I believe "SHUT UP" as a general exclamation was coined by Elaine in a Seinfeld episode (accompanied by a two handed shove).

8:37 pm

cant get li word. what is the heritage word?????confused.

8:37 pm

Jilli - that interesting. What's the origin of the NJ word?

8:37 pm

Yikes! You are right, MKG, I am off to sleep with 27 left to do. BTW, Cross, you slipped in a word. OFf to the penalty box.

8:37 pm

omg my son's last girlfriend said Shut Up so often I was tempted to smack her

8:37 pm

8:39 pm

G'night all

8:39 pm

8:39 pm

8:39 pm

8:39 pm

8:39 pm

Tsk. Valley girls are soooo like 80's.

8:39 pm

jill that li8 doesn't work! lol

8:40 pm

How do I manage every day?

8:40 pm

valley girls are so last century

8:40 pm

Judi - I thought Oy vey meant something like, 'Enough said! I don't know and, anyway, that's life!'

8:40 pm

Oy Vey is like OMG

8:41 pm

Are vally girls like our Chav girls here in UK?

8:41 pm

Probably, Jac. It's fun to say, whatever it means. I always thought it was similar to "good grief" or "ay carumba".

8:41 pm

oh vey! never take gniss from a moil!

8:41 pm

What the heck does that mean, crossy??

8:42 pm

I'm an old shiksa from the rio grande

8:42 pm

i dimly understand the term "chav' but it is so local it has no real meaning outside of the UK im thinking jacula

8:42 pm

This conversation is cracking me up. What the hell is a gniss?

8:42 pm

At 95/90 I am ready for bed. I must get the bunnies ready in the morning (I am having separation anxiety) and pack up, but I am too tired to do either tonight

8:42 pm

jmc - that sounds like a cross-dresser's song title. LOL

8:42 pm

lol we are one big melting potm of slang terms ;)

8:43 pm

someone said bunnies...

8:43 pm

Sleep well, Scrabbs, and I'm sure the bunnies will be fine.

8:43 pm

gn scwabby

8:43 pm

Real bunnies, Crossy - not Playmates.

8:43 pm

Crossy - put that gun and that cooking pot AWAY!

8:43 pm

8:44 pm

8:45 pm

8:47 pm

she is very loving and my parents call her my little sister

8:47 pm

Cool. I have a stumpy tailed tabby. He was born that way. Love tailess cats.

8:47 pm

sounds like a fun night out

8:47 pm

jmc - probably. I read the story and it's likely that it was.

8:48 pm

here we just let the street thugs in the city go about removing each other from the gene pool;)

8:48 pm

it was hysterical crossy these two guys were shoving and hitting everyone they met

8:49 pm

mm things you see when you dont have a gun

8:49 pm

and actually went back after seeing these two guys in sequined mini skirts

8:49 pm

*Shock* There's no street thugs in Canada!

8:49 pm

one of whom decked the two thugs and then reached down to pick up his clutch! then the police came and arrested teh thugs

8:50 pm

lol,we send them all to toronto

8:50 pm

Damn, that is hilarious, jmc. You mean there isn't a shakey cell phone video of it on YouTube?

8:51 pm

I would pay cash to see that.

8:51 pm

there is a very clear shot of it on youtube because the brits have police cameras everywhere

8:51 pm

brb

8:52 pm

Awesome! Must have link!!!!

8:52 pm

did they shave thier legs first? omg

8:52 pm

Ah, but the two guys dressed as women that the drunken thugs decided to pick on decked them within seconds, because they were cage fighters out on a themed stag night.
