6:11 am

Feeling any better crossy?

6:11 am

You've definitely been to the prettier place. Sutton only has a good park to recommend it.

Hi Trif.

good morning all.

Triffies

7:08 am

However, if her hands are OK she can still babble :-)

Hi Momn

Well she has a lot to do too. Hi Pab

7:10 am

Yep I am going to badger you about it

7:11 am

the most pestering you can accomplish

7:11 am

this looks like a tough grid

Most of what women are alleged to do to men :-)

Trifs your a mum it would be your job to do this to your kids ALOT

7:12 am

THERE it is! Thanks wildcat - had been dancing all around it, with -ish, etc. but couldn't get it together. NBT!

7:12 am

yw and nice job

shoot I missed the ish

7:13 am

its not enable approved, so no worries

7:15 am

so, here's the thing - I have to leave for work in a minute, but I need to ask you all something before I go --- tomorrow is my court date for the first stage of divorce proceeding. I would kindly ask for your good thoughts for me tomorrow.....I am mighty, mighty terrified about the whole thing. Please, pray for me to come through it with strength, and oh, please, some dignity. Thanks

7:15 am

we'll all be with you in spirit, dear Trif :-)

7:15 am

of course tri ... I'll be praying for you. You will be fine.

You will be fine Trifs. You ahve done nothing wrong

Hi Une. I llove your pup. In fact I love seeing all of the babblers pets

Good luck with that Trif. Just stay calm.

7:16 am

thanks friends. :) what I have done, or haven't done, doesn't seem to mean much to the courts. Mr. Hate is going to do his best to wipe his hands clean of me and the kids, and it's really worrying.

7:16 am

hey, herin :-)

7:16 am

our thoughts are with you - be strong!

7:16 am

And don't let him or his attorney rattle you.

7:17 am

and now off I go, to early my daily bread. LOVE to you all!

Courts aren't stupid, Trif. They've seen it all before, remember, and are used to devious partners.

Trifs I know that this sounds retarded but honestly it is just money. He has to support the kids. And if he doesn't tell them Stuff you

7:17 am

Hi Nef! :)

10:57 am

haven't seen you for a long time, muse. Are we just on at different times these days or have you been MIA lately?

10:58 am

mostly MIA although I've started dropping in more frequently. Family issues, a new job with very long hours made doing this nearly impossible.

10:59 am

though you could always catch me on FB ... have you joined that club yet?

11:00 am

I understand. I used to try to finish every grid bt no longer have time myself. I am on FB, but I don't chat much there either (same issue: not enough time these days)

11:00 am

STID STID STID you must be rushing again ;)

11:01 am

sorry muse, yes, running in and out..

11:01 am

and no, have another year and a quarter of grad school... BUT finally getting to do some "work" with actual students (poor kids) 8th grade language arts kids. LOTS of interesting things going on at that age!

11:02 am

hmmm, do I have you as FB friend? I know people here, but on FB can't always keep the new names with the monikers.

11:02 am

I have the same problem with names, muse -- that's why I keep the same login everywhere!

11:03 am

and thanks for the old people clue, too, ormal!

11:03 am

stid, you really sounded excited the other day when you got to teach (I popped in after you'd left, I was just lurking for a few minutes)

11:04 am

YES. I had two weeks where I got to teach all five classes for this teacher. The first week was something fun, this past week it was *shudder* bibliographies. BUT both kids and I survived, and we all learned a lot.

11:04 am

Oh yes, I remember Stid. I enjoyed doing an LA class with them on Anne Frank (more discuss than "taught", topic on WWII and PC texting language. Hormones rampant, but I liked the ?s they asked.

11:04 am

how was the get-together yesterday stid?

11:04 am

Mother is taking pictures of me babbling in the hotel room... it's a NICE hotel. TRES CHER as the french would say... (expensive!) but such soft beds -- FOUR fluffy pillows all to myself. It has been lovely.

11:05 am

the get-together yesterday was grand. Jill and Flo both look wonderful, and Mr. Flo was funny (as usual). We had a great time together. Will post pics when I get home.

11:05 am

11:09 am

11:10 am

Bon soire ruby

1:29 pm

happy movie Tuesday! Saw a dopey French comedy only about half of which I could understand, even though my French is pretty good.

1:29 pm

my friend said it had a lot of slang and they talked very fast. She was being kind, I think!

1:30 pm

well so long as you had a laugh I hope it was fun.

1:30 pm

Yesterday I tried to plant some moss recovered from our parking because the rocks around part of the garden look really raw.

1:31 pm

I understood the movie, but not the jokes except for sight gags.

1:31 pm

It is such a pleasure to go to the cinema here and, of course, out to lunch.....

1:32 pm

ah a lovely leisurely lunch, one of the things I enjoyed most about my visits to France.

1:32 pm

and Spain, and Italy :)

1:32 pm

very nice but, naturally, husband was annoyed

1:33 pm

tant pis!

1:33 pm

and Portugal and and ... ... )

1:33 pm

LOL

1:33 pm

but I love the food in England!

1:34 pm

you can't beat bangers and mash or any English breakfast!

1:35 pm

yes there is very good food here too but it is a different culture. Oh, how are your plans coming along for your visit in May?

1:35 pm

food? england? *confused*

1:35 pm

I've had great meals there!

1:35 pm

*shoves EvaN* We have good food you know!

1:35 pm

so far so good.....but don't have the dates yet

1:36 pm

having never been a huge "meat and potatoes" gal, im not sure what else there is...hehe

1:36 pm

and, of course, Mr. Nasty is not happy about the trip

1:36 pm

oh wait, my grandma used to serve us Wheatabix. hehe

1:36 pm

Oh you are treading on dangerous groud there my girl!

1:36 pm

even the milk is better there!

1:37 pm

no worries, FM. ive got nothing *against* meat-n-taters, was just never my favorite meal. and since my (other) grandmother lived with us growing up, we had to have a proper full roast dinner every sunday night. which meant leftovers every monday and tuesday (and sometimes wednesday too!)

1:38 pm

that sounds good to be, eva!

1:38 pm

fish-n-chips. theres a yummy english meal. ;)

1:38 pm

to me*

1:38 pm

cheese sandwiches too

1:39 pm

I lived in London for one 6-month period many years ago, and cooking was a pleasure. Ingredients were fabulous!

1:39 pm

oh, or anything (beans, spaghetti, eggs) on toast. thats a typically english dinner. toast on the side = breakfast. stuff ON toast = dinner. thats what i learned from my parents. :)

1:40 pm

eeew what cook book where they using?

1:40 pm

the "i grew up right after WW2" cookbook...heh

1:41 pm

Ahh well I guess we can't blame that.

1:41 pm

Hi people. Back again for a short bit; I'll probably be in and out for the rest of the afternoon due to DH keeping me busy.

1:41 pm

hello nef

1:41 pm

Hi Nef

1:41 pm

yes. the era of "you finish whats on your plate because youre lucky to have it." and "you have a garden because you need the food." and food rations...

1:42 pm

to this day, i hafta remind my mom that its ok to stop eating when shes full...

1:43 pm

Hi ruby and FM and EvaN

1:43 pm

hiya nef. :)

1:44 pm

EvaNadine, I hear you loud and clear! That sounds just like my family!

1:44 pm

we're discussing English food

1:44 pm

poor mom has been pretty sick for the last 2 weeks. just spoke with her on the phone today + she sounds awful. :(

1:45 pm

Hve very strong memories of Grandma who came from Yorkire serving the Yorshire pudding first with gravy and then the next course would be the beef, potatoes and veg.

1:45 pm

<blush> I missed the English food part. I was referring to the clean your plate and garden for veggies

1:45 pm

my mother made my sister finish her food but by the time I came along, she didn't care if I ate or not or if I played with my food or what. Just gave me what I liked and din't worry about it. PS, I'm skinny and my sister is overweight

1:45 pm

my mother was very smart

1:45 pm

Hope it's not too serious EvaN and that she feels better soon.

1:46 pm

I remember one of my brothers having to face the same plate with the peas for supper, breakfast and lunch because he just didn't like peas. :-(

1:46 pm

FM, that was every meal i had growing up! poor mom has pneumonia. the woman never gets sick, but when she does, its always something bad. had to go to the ER on saturday -- seems she coughed so much and so hard that she tore the muscles in her neck!

1:47 pm

nef -- i managed to almost drown in a bowl of soup once...

1:47 pm

that's how my husband was raised.....he would sit in front of a plate of cold cauliflower until after his bedtime. I think that's just plain sadistic!

1:47 pm

Oh, Man, EvaN! That's a tough cough!

1:48 pm

sad to say, shes no spring chicken, so i really hope she recovers ok!

1:48 pm

Ruby - I bet! I think if you're forced to eat everything in front of you, it's going to become a control issue at some point. Recovered anorexic talking here!

1:48 pm

((EvaN))

1:48 pm

(oh and, hello everyone :D)

1:48 pm

Nancy Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:48 pm

LOL, EvaN! I did too, but it was in the hospital and I'd had too much morphine. I fell asleep face first into my soup! Luckily, a friend was there and pulled me out and called for help! :-)

1:49 pm

I think so too. If food isn't a pleasure, then why eat?

1:49 pm

*speeds over to NB in full-on snoggle mode*

1:49 pm

Hi NB!

1:49 pm

FMitch! Hello you :D

1:49 pm

*is snoggled* sorry to hear about your mum, Eva - fingers crossed for a quick recovery!

1:49 pm

nef, sadly, i was just made to sit there until i finished. the near-death experience was enough to get me excused from the table, and my parents never tried THAT tactic again!

1:50 pm

Nance haven't seen for for a while dear, how are you and is life treating you well?

1:50 pm

LOL, Nef! Great story :)

1:50 pm

thanky, thanky. im sure she will recover soon enough -- i told her that a neck brace just was NOT the look i had in mind for my wedding. ;)

1:50 pm

just peachy thanks, FMitch :) think the last time I spoke to you was before I moved! how are you??

1:51 pm

Oh wrap a silk scaf aund if need be EvaN :)

1:51 pm

(and whilst we're talking about resistance to food, I once held a mouthful of cabbage for THREE HOURS because I was a stubborn kid and refused to swallow it after having it forced into my mouth!)

1:52 pm

OMG!

1:52 pm

come to think of it, dear daddy had been terribly sick right before my brothers wedding + ended up sporting a cane during it all. (thankfully hes all better now!)

1:52 pm

Both our lives have moved on, I have moved house too and am doing well after Bs death and I have seen in the chat you have been through a tough time but seem to be getting on well hun. Proud of you.

1:53 pm

Oh FMitch, I'm so sorry! I don't think I heard about that. Glad to hear you're doing well, though - so am I by now. We're tough cookies ;)

1:54 pm

we are :)

1:54 pm

((tough cookies!))

1:55 pm

Ruby, I can't BELIEVE how adorable that doggy is in your picture. It's so fluffy!

1:55 pm

she is a great beauty!

1:55 pm

Wow, FM. I'm sorry; I missed that. My condolences to you. (((FM)))

1:56 pm

I keep trying to change the photo without success.

1:57 pm

Aren't you able to change it, or is it hat you just end up not wanting to change it ruby?

1:57 pm

FM: I think we'll need to talk about that over tea....your tragedy must have happened before December when I first joined babble. You are so kind to everyone!!!

1:57 pm

Thanks Nef, I didn't talk about it at the time and this July will be 2 years so I am still getting used to talking about it here.

1:57 pm

ata put that one in for me and whenever I try to put in another from my huge jpg files, nothing happens

1:58 pm

ruby I can help you with yr pics if you want.

1:58 pm

Hi Everyone - back for a little while

1:59 pm

1:59 pm

2:00 pm

I got this icon in and couldn't change mine when I tried; now I don't wa4/8 to change mine any more.

2:01 pm

I had a strange thing happen to me today - started taking a new blood pressure med and two hours later looked like I had a major sunburn. Needless to say I had an alergic reaction. Got myself so worked up about it I had palpatations. All is OK now.

2:01 pm

*races after NB and huggles him so he cant hide in a corner somewhere*

2:01 pm

that is scary, momn! do you have other allergies?

2:01 pm

I'll email you tomorrow ruby - would love to seen pics of yr garden.

2:02 pm

Never had allergies before to anything so it was very strange

2:02 pm

LOL Eva!

2:02 pm

and maybe we can put a photo of Max as my icon instead of Ruby

2:02 pm

Actually, every time I see your shamrock picture I burst into giggles

2:02 pm

Mom, did you call your doctor and let them know? Did you see anyone for treatment?

2:03 pm

They had me in the office within the hour. Thats how I know everything is OK.

2:03 pm

you have a tendancy to escape when im not paying attention. i need a leash for you. :) and why, praytell, is my shamrock so funny??

2:03 pm

mom: I am in my 60's and have developed two major allergies in the last 7 years, each of them so bad that I have to keep an adrenalin shot in the fridge!

2:03 pm

Good to have seen you again Nance, you take care and be happy!! Im off to make a cup of tea. BBL

2:03 pm

WE are all hoping this red skin will turn into a nice golden tan

2:03 pm

gd night FM!!

2:04 pm

my husband has to keep an epi pen handy in case of bee stings. Guess I better make sure where that is.

2:04 pm

well Eva, Leo and I went to a rather uncontrolled St Patrick's day party, got a little tipsy and ended up letting a complete stranger draw big green shamrocks on Leo's chest and my back. We woke up the next day and, guess what, permanent ink!

2:04 pm

Whew! I HATE allergic reactions (I'm a nurse; but have had a few scary reactions myself). You *may* be allergic to a whole class of BP meds.

2:04 pm

I get hives and my throat starts to close if I even touch a pea pod or eat otmeal

2:05 pm

ive got a shamrock permantly inked on my shoulder. ;)

2:05 pm

and I have to inject myself because DH is too squeamish. I could die there!

2:05 pm

we were trying something different - now back to old for a few weeks before we try again

2:05 pm

Good day everyone!!!!!

2:05 pm

this was one that had a diuretic in it - they think that is what I am allergic to

2:05 pm

so when are you getting your claddagh, Eva? ;)

2:05 pm

hello ata!

2:06 pm

oh, i dunno Ata! i havent even met with an artist up this way... *ashamed*

2:06 pm

hi movieman; today is movie Tuesday!

2:06 pm

LOL :P

2:06 pm

and hi :)

2:06 pm

bet its not as big as ours Eva ;) though we DID have fun trying to get them off. turned into a party in itself!

2:06 pm

oh ruby - those injections are nasty - had to give my husband one a couple years ago after he got stung> actually had to think of the last time I got mad at him befoe I jabbed it in his thigh

2:06 pm

hi mm and Ata

2:07 pm

remember Nancy this is a family site

2:07 pm

I just do it myself.....it's better than choking to death LOL

2:07 pm

ata, what with wedding planning, i havent had time to head to my usual tattoo shop, and i guess im trying to be good and save money too!

2:07 pm

NB, NB, NB... what am i going to do with you?? ;)

2:07 pm

eeeewww

2:08 pm

No, Mom, I mean, we invited some people round and made an evening of it. a family-friendly evening!

2:08 pm

Just thought I'd mention that my town has a bit of a unique claim to fame.....

2:08 pm

NOTHING. UNTOWARD. !!

2:08 pm

how many movie theaters?

2:08 pm

just kidding, what, movie man?

2:09 pm

Last August, we had the largest tyre fire ever seen in the UK#

2:09 pm

just teasing nancy boy - got to get my head in the game

2:09 pm

oh no!

2:10 pm

how was the smell?

2:10 pm

good night everybody; I was hoping to reach 100, but it's not going to happen.....

2:10 pm

Mom, was he unable to inject himself? I'm allergic to bee stings too and back in the day the "bee sting kit" came with a little pre-filled syringe you had to give it a quarter turn so it would work. I tried to inject myself (after a sting) and couldn't. I had to pull it out and have my dtr. inject me (she was about 10 or so at the time)

2:10 pm

lol, Mom ;) I realize this is far from being the kind of place to broadcast -that- type of news ;)

2:10 pm

I can remember seeing the smoke billowing in the air as I got off the train after seeing a movie

2:11 pm

nef, that sounds like good training!

2:11 pm

night, Ruby!

2:11 pm

night NB

2:12 pm

Epi-pens are so much easier now!

2:12 pm

well I think you're all very brave...I'd have real difficulty giving myself an injection. I'm a bit of a wimp.

2:12 pm

This is an epi pen syringe - you take the cap off and have to slam it hard for it to get deep enough. He got stung while we were on our boat - 20 minutes out on a lake. I drove back as fast as I could. By the time we got to camp he could hardly breath. No time for him to do it.

2:13 pm

im with you, NB. though i have a feeling that if my life depended on it, id manage...

2:13 pm

the Epi-pen isn't as scary as an injection; you hit the blunt tip to your thigh, and less than 5 seconds later the needle pops out and into you.

2:13 pm

I dunno, Eva, I might be too much of a diva about it, and just sort of die picturesquely with my wrist to my forehead

2:14 pm

no counting on Leo, either. He's a bigger baby than I am!

2:14 pm

oh, dont tell me i would have to superhero it across the pond + jab you!

2:15 pm

LOL, NB. When you're struggling to breathe you can't exit picturesquely

2:15 pm

clue for na8/60 please?

2:15 pm

Oh I'm very good at that sort of thing Nef ;)

2:16 pm

most prone to complaints, vlcl

2:16 pm

on that sorry note though, I'm away for the evening...got to eat at some point! see you later, everyone :)

2:16 pm

the worst person in the world to be married to, vici.

2:16 pm

(((huggles NB tightly)))

2:17 pm

i figured it had to something on that order but still cant see it. i'll keep working. ty

2:17 pm

bye nancy boy - have a good one

2:18 pm

H vlcl

2:18 pm

HI Mom!

2:18 pm

vici, someone who is continuously harping and complaining is a na*; then make that person the worst in the world

2:19 pm

I am struggling finding those de words - only have one - anyone else having this issue - could be my sunburn

2:20 pm

got it ty nef

2:20 pm

cute doggies mom

2:21 pm

yw :-) It seems I'm not the best cluer today, anyone I've given clues to today I've had to double-clue

2:21 pm

or maybe the clue receivers are dull today!

Good Afternoon Babblers! Hope all is well.

2:22 pm

that is certainly my problem

2:22 pm

hi red

I feel a bit dull, but with 45 left, I feel I am nearing the end of this odd one.

2:22 pm

hi red. You have the day off too?

2:22 pm

i got 83 left

I do have the day off, until the weekend, so I am trying to have a nice day today and do taxes the next two...I really need to do the taxes!

2:23 pm

59 left here

2:24 pm

I have 100 left. I should stop chatting and start finding words. (I've pretty much tried to do one or the other because I'm always putting things in the wrong boxes

2:24 pm

de 5/16 de + me + my dog likes to **aw on her bone.

Thanks vici. I needed that one..

2:25 pm

I do too, red. And I'm seriously procrastinating about that job. DH has been trying to do them, but his cognition is bad...

2:25 pm

yw

2:27 pm

afternoon all

2:27 pm

de5/12 de + me + I dont like to go to the dent*** and the plural. thats all I have , Mom

2:27 pm

thx for my first 2 words, vlcl ;)

2:28 pm

yw, pini

hi all, found a 9, gotta fly POINK!

2:28 pm

hi Pini. How are you today? (that didn't work in the WORD box, BTW)

2:29 pm

thanks vlcl - that helped alot

2:29 pm

* giggle * Doing well, Nef...except hard at work while everyone else is on Spring Break... :(

2:30 pm

awww, Do you get a break when they all come back?

2:30 pm

apparently gnatwish is not a word

2:30 pm

I wish, Nef!

2:31 pm

lol vlcl

2:31 pm

vici try the tiny insect with a weird way to spell out tall someone is (and pl for the 9)

2:32 pm

thx for those, nef! :)

2:32 pm

Back for a few mins with my mug of tea if any clues are needed.

2:32 pm

I'm down to 134 to go! clue to your heart's content! LOL

2:32 pm

Well, are you able to sluff off a bit (or at least have casual dress days and go to work in your jammies)?

2:33 pm

lo pini

2:33 pm

definitely casual dress...and sluffing is a must!

2:33 pm

Ah the joys of working from home,jammies can be the dress code for the whole day :)

2:34 pm

I enjoy that lifestyle when I'm able to telecommute, FM :)

2:34 pm

not that I do you understand ;)

2:34 pm

wish it were more often than not!

2:36 pm

still cant get it Nef

2:36 pm

one of the many things discussed on the chat is thank god we don't have web cams hooked up - t'would be too much a shock.

2:36 pm

gn8 = small irritating bug + hello + **a or coffee?

2:36 pm

ROFL!

2:36 pm

I have curlers in my hair now

2:36 pm

I would really not care to telecommute and live in my jammies all day. That would ruin the fun of lounging around in jammies on my days off!

2:37 pm

No doubt, FM...I got a new laptop this past Sept with a built-in cam and still haven't "set it up"!

2:37 pm

ty pini - got them

2:38 pm

That's not how it works, Nef...you get to dress up on your days off! :) (oh, to have some place fancy to go - * sigh * - or even a hot date)

2:38 pm

yvw vlcl

2:38 pm

vici, gn8/55 = that tiny insect + short hello, +**a (English hot dringk)

2:39 pm

ty Nef - got it!

2:39 pm

* snap * nef... ;)

2:39 pm

how about a clue for that lonesome P at the bottom left...

2:39 pm

ty nef..bloody impossible word that is;(

2:40 pm

hiya crossy

2:40 pm

LOL! Too many interruptions here to clue in a timely manner right now! I should give up! :-D

2:40 pm

never give up, nef!!!

2:40 pm

howdy pini

2:40 pm

The days or mornings off Nef are all the more fun when you work for yourself - you can schedule your week as it fits in - brilliant.

2:40 pm

greek letter

2:40 pm

p + short greeting plural

2:40 pm

Thanks for the great clues

2:40 pm

thx mom ;) and vlcl ;)

2:41 pm

Hi JBF!

2:41 pm

2:42 pm

oh, and someone clue me a 7 (for NBS?)

2:42 pm

nef you clued a impossible gn9 so smile;))

2:42 pm

oh, great...it would have to be a biggie, FM!

2:42 pm

Yr husband would probably say that you na* him a lot and then make it the most.

2:43 pm

oy vey...

2:43 pm

pini, it's na8/60: the worst possible complainer in the world

2:43 pm

I had 2 other "versions" of that word...shoulda kept going

2:43 pm

*grin*

2:43 pm

NBT!

2:43 pm

(now for NBS)

2:44 pm

what the heck is NBS, it was bad enough when NBT came in!

2:44 pm

yay, Pini! (Oh, and thanks for the kind words everybody <BLUSH!>)

2:44 pm

oooh, found another 8 (ta8) all by my lonesome!

2:44 pm

NBS...no blank word stats

2:45 pm

well that would be NBWS ;)

2:45 pm

how about a clue pini

2:45 pm

oh, shush, now... * giggle *

2:45 pm

got it!

2:45 pm

ta8 = the most sour or tart

Oh nef, I would LOVE to telecommute, but I am not exactly sure how my job would get done that way....

2:46 pm

sorry, FM...

2:46 pm

thanks pini for that one

2:46 pm

yvw ;)

Since my work clothing is very comfy its never been an issue for me...

2:47 pm

*grin*

2:47 pm

I found another ta8! :)

Yaaaay Pinik!

2:48 pm

ta8 (another one) = the most odd sounding (think southern)

2:48 pm

I'd love to telecommute too; although I love where I work even more than that

2:48 pm

is that a ta 8 or 9?

2:48 pm

oh, and hello!

2:49 pm

oh, shoot...

2:49 pm

...make that TW8 (not ta8)

2:49 pm

9

2:49 pm

ah :o)

2:49 pm

Pini has got over excited and means a tw9

2:49 pm

lol

2:49 pm

there is a ta8

2:49 pm

* gives back undeserved "Yaaaay" *

2:50 pm

nixed the 9's!

2:50 pm

yeah, that's it!!! TW9

2:50 pm

but just one, yes?

2:50 pm

ta 8, that is

2:50 pm

* going back to her cave now *

2:50 pm

just one ta8 that I know of

2:50 pm

* my bad *

2:50 pm

yea

2:50 pm

Don't you dare - you stay here :)

2:51 pm

* stapling butt to chair *

2:51 pm

ok ;)

2:51 pm

ouch

2:51 pm

(ok, stapled my jeans)

2:51 pm

the tw9 and ta8 have quite similar ending

2:51 pm

how does one staple their butt? From the skin or the chair s***?

2:52 pm

oh, you shush, too, Nef!! * giggle *

2:52 pm

LOL that was a tad extreme, puts towels down under the chair.

2:52 pm

(here i am, always super slow today!)

2:52 pm

* pulling staples to replace with superglue *

2:52 pm

better?

2:53 pm

til you need to potty, then what?

2:53 pm

h

2:53 pm

never slow, nef...

2:53 pm

hi stan

hands over bandaids for the holes in Pinik's butt.

2:53 pm

Would the Cabana Boys make you feel better? They have been saddly neglected over the winter.

2:53 pm

Hi red

2:53 pm

thx red... * strategically placing bandaids *

2:54 pm

*peeks in* did I hear cabana boys?

2:54 pm

2:55 pm

* mischevous grin *

Oh My.....pretends shock.

2:56 pm

Be gentle with them the have been away learning more holistic massage and cookery skills and cooking skills for the PB :)

2:56 pm

Did you peek in on them, red? I'm afraid to...! ;-)

2:56 pm

so glad spring is here and the cabana boys are back!

2:57 pm

yeah, the winter parkas don't allow the imagination to run

2:57 pm

Well I had to fly them back Judy - what would the PB be without them and all our Babble buds!

LOL, I am still feeling a bit cold....wonders if the Cabana boys would make a baked alaska thingy. always wondered how to do that.

2:57 pm

2:58 pm

You are very welcome *grin*

2:58 pm

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

Is there champagne to drink with the baked alaska?

3:00 pm

* wonders if she can hi4 out in the Cabana to avoid returning to work *

3:00 pm

Just don't use the jacusi yet as it still need to be cleaned out but will be back in action next week. Just blame Ang for the custard.

3:00 pm

... .... waits to see if anyone has been on line long enough to remember that .

3:00 pm

* giggle * making note to self re ang and custard

3:00 pm

*sends out cabana boy to get champagne*

3:01 pm

(not me, but willing to hear about it)

3:01 pm

I wonder if they could use the Sh7's

3:01 pm

the what???

3:01 pm

OMG--jacuzzi + ang + custard . . . yikes!

3:01 pm

OH, the mushroom!!!

3:01 pm

3:07 pm

FM, we are the Babble elders on right now; does that mean we need to set an example for others?

3:08 pm

I'm still here Judy, but I don't drink. Just the thought of a drink is making me sleepy!

3:08 pm

are you sure you and FM are the elders, Nef?

3:11 pm

Back - good lord I hope not, have been around a long time but that is all :)

3:11 pm

Judy, I meant that FM and I have been Babbling longer than the others on right now. Both of us started in August of '05, I see you joined in '06

3:12 pm

aha - nice not to be an elder for a change! LOL

3:13 pm

And yes, I'm also older than you too from your profile!

3:17 pm

yes it is. I met Stidmama in Seattle in 2007.

3:18 pm

I met up with a bunch of nurses from a private nursing BB back in 2003. We had the best time ever!

3:19 pm

and seeing the pics from a lthe meets that have happened so far. Wonder if Dr_G had any idea how his *'game' would influence lives?

3:20 pm

3:21 pm

Hey Une!

3:21 pm

3:21 pm

Hi Une. Amazing how one game brought all of us together.

3:21 pm

i know!!

3:21 pm

And from all parts of the world!

3:22 pm

and I think every meet-up has been a huge success!

3:22 pm

it seems to me that some of my *little internet friends* (as someone's mother once called us) can be as close as RL friends if we click right

3:22 pm

TOTALLY!

3:22 pm

Une, FM and Nef, are you on FB?

3:22 pm

yep

3:22 pm

hi Une!

3:23 pm

hey, nef :-)

3:23 pm

I'm probably friends with you Une and don't realize what your real name is. LOL

3:23 pm

well we are all bound bound aby a common thread and have talked on line for a time - so why shoudn't it work it

3:23 pm

Judy, I always wonder about that...whether we all walk past each other in real life ;(

3:23 pm

*:)

3:23 pm

Judy - no I don't do FB

3:23 pm

yes, Judy. I don't chat much there however. (I keep tabs on relatives and friends mostly)

3:23 pm

{{{{{NB}}}}}

3:24 pm

3:24 pm

Nance - thought you had gone to work!

3:24 pm

Never been "across the pond" but if I ever get there gonna look up all my babbling friends

3:25 pm

3:25 pm

You would be more than welcome!

3:25 pm

i've been across the pond but it was a LONG time ago :-)

3:26 pm

thx FM

3:26 pm

i wish babble had been up when I was flying over to the states so much.

3:26 pm

Hi Judy, Une! :) Not to work, FMitch, just to eat! I couldn't leave for the whole night...not with 85 still to go ;)

3:27 pm

Oh you Babble Addict you!

3:27 pm

down to 47. soon time to leave work.

3:27 pm

i'll be on the lookout, judy :-)

3:28 pm

ok, we're friends now! LOL

3:29 pm

Une, I sent a friend request too

3:29 pm

ok, i'll be watching :-)

3:29 pm

YAY friends w/Une on FB! :)

3:29 pm

I know that I have something like 25 Babble friends on FB but I can't figure out *WHO* they are here!

3:30 pm

Here's my link, Nef: http://www.facebook.com/ciociajudy?ref =profile

3:30 pm

evening everyone

3:30 pm

I hear ya Nef. I actually have been writing them down on a piece of paper by my computer! lol

3:30 pm

evening Katie

3:30 pm

Oooh the demon facebook! I can't use it, it scares me. Too much information too quickly.

3:31 pm

Great chatting but time for me to be off. Enjoyed the chat so mcuh!

3:31 pm

bye FM.

3:31 pm

nef, I know what you mean -- I'm never sure who's who re Babblers on Facebook :-)

3:31 pm

Nef - I know what you mean, I have babble friends, fairyland friends and 'normal' friends and find it so hard to work out who belongs in which group. I usually check with ata's friends to see if they are a babble friend

3:31 pm

bye fmitch!

3:31 pm

Nancy, I thought all the young uns were on FB. LOL

3:31 pm

LOL, Judy! I just friended you too

3:31 pm

we oldsters were the hold outs

3:32 pm

Nice to see you again, FMitch :) take care!!

3:32 pm

YAY; friends w/Nef on FB!!

3:32 pm

37 to go -- BBL to finish -- byeee!

3:32 pm

Hi & Bye FM

3:32 pm

byeeeeee Une

3:32 pm

Oh I'm in the Grid :-)

3:32 pm

Oh I can't stand it, Judy! I'm too social in real life...I meet loads of people, they all add me and I feel like I'm going under ;)

3:33 pm

BTW, my babble is the middle syllable of my *formal* name. It was my college nickname (a million years ago I think!)

3:34 pm

poor Nancy; too popular!! LOL

3:34 pm

I have been quite brutal at blocking updates on some applications because I have 121 friends so miss too much if I get their farmville updates

3:34 pm

(And I have never gone by my formal name except when I absolutely have too)

3:34 pm

it's a tough job ;) LOL. Well most of them I'd never see again!

3:35 pm

I block the apps I don't use too Katie

3:35 pm

It's always interesting how we get our Babble Names!

3:36 pm

I took mine from Mari's cat!

3:36 pm

Katie, I've reached the point that I block everything except what people actually say. I do block some people, but not relatives; although i sometimes have to remind my neices and nephews that they are posting TMI

3:37 pm

I think I should be more brutal. I go on in the morning and then by the evening I have 300 updates, I just can't keep up

3:38 pm

yep, you need to be more brutal, Katie.

3:38 pm

well fellow Babblers I'm off for my commute home. cu later. Happy Babbling!

3:38 pm

bye Judy

3:40 pm

clue please for de 6/27?

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

see you later, Judy :)

3:40 pm

clue please for de6/27?

3:40 pm

and how did i do that?

3:41 pm

good question, sammy

3:41 pm

Not a clue, Sammysmom ;) that's an awesome picture in your icon, though - deer in your back garden!

3:41 pm

yes nancy boy- they are a real puia- they eat my garden

3:42 pm

de6/27 is the study of how your house should look. Interior de 6/27

3:42 pm

i had a herd of seven deer in my front yard last night and i live in the ckleveland burbs- ver much city

3:42 pm

thanks nef

3:43 pm

ohhh they can't be, Sammysmom! I'd love it. The closest to wildlife I get here is...yesterday, a sparrow flew in the window and did a circuit of the kitchen. That's about it

i'm stuck on that K

nathes

3:45 pm

I've only had deer inside our chain-linked back yard once, but we've had raccoons, Canadian geese, bunnies and all sorts of other smaller critters all the time

3:45 pm

deer do not belong in the city nancy boy- .i can handle the squirrels, the hipmunks, love the birds, and have a few possums, racoons and an ocasional skunk, but the deer eat so much of what i plant. saw a fox last fall and even a wolf- we humans have destroyed their habitats and now we must pay

3:47 pm

Where in the Cleveland burbs Sammy?

3:47 pm

come to think of it . i was raised in maine and i do love venison. hm...............

3:47 pm

cleveland heights

3:48 pm

I live in a inner ring suburb in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul); but there's a lake and a nature preserve less than 2 blocks away

3:49 pm

daddy taught me how to dress a deer when i ws a teen.hmmmmmmm wonder if we still have a chin fall in the garage.hmmmmmm

3:49 pm

chain fall

3:50 pm

the closest I come is when the sparrow comes in to the house in the cats mouth NB!

3:51 pm

We've got 6 different species of woodpeckers that come to our backyard. I love the wildlife here; but can unerstand that they may not belong here too

3:51 pm

My cousin lives in Columbia Station

3:51 pm

the city of ch has taken almost all of the little wooded areas left and built tacky overpriced houses that noone can afford (most are empty), but they did not make any provisions for the wildlife that they displaced

3:53 pm

columbis station is a beautiful community- at least it was when i was last there. lots of open spaces .. here we are on quarter acre lots and have no room for large animals.

3:54 pm

do feed the birds ,..have several kind of woodpeckers, sparrows, cardinals, bluejays, and chickadees, and several kinds i don t know the names of.. also a hawk and an eagle... new to the area in the last few years

3:56 pm

dita-

3:58 pm

They have a pretty large lot - and it is quite open around there - I haven't been to their place since our grandfather died in 2005 though so who knows what's built up since then

3:58 pm

thanks. sammysmom! ;-)

4:00 pm

yw-lol

4:00 pm

i guwss that is like thinking out loud huh??

4:01 pm

nope. It's what I'm so good at: putting things in the wrong boxes here :-)

4:02 pm

Sammy's Mom, you're in Cleveland Hts? I grew up there. My parents still live there.

4:02 pm

Hello, all.

did you ever go to the alcazar?

4:07 pm

Plenty of trophy houses along Fairmount... but since they were all built 80 - 100-some years ago they are fun instead of annoying!

4:07 pm

I've only been in the Alcazar once. Pretty funky!

4:08 pm

yup

4:09 pm

i used to work at merit drug at cedar and grandview- shopped at russos- (gone now)

4:09 pm

Oh, I didn't know Russo's was gone. We used to shop there a lot.

4:10 pm

it is a giant e3agle now i think

4:10 pm

giant eagle

4:11 pm

Did your kids go to Heights?

4:12 pm

yes and 2 of my grandchildrern too- ther oldest one graduated from notre dame 6 years ago

4:13 pm

What years did they graduate? We might have overlapped!

4:15 pm

forget the year- but the keyniote speaker spent 45 minute4s talking about the shoodting at cleveland state in stead of praising and encouraging the graduates of notre dame--- i was FURIOUS!!!

4:15 pm

That's not right. Graduation should be for graduate!

4:15 pm

yup

4:15 pm

*graduates*

4:16 pm

Oh well, I'm probably too late to overlap, I guess. Fun connection, though.

4:17 pm

i felt badly about the csu incident, but spoiloing the graduatuion of another school was a disservice to THOSE students and was of no value- did not bring the victims back and left a sad mark on the graduating class

4:17 pm

hey ys im back

4:18 pm

Exactly. Hello, kenzie.

4:19 pm

im back from school 4th grade is soooo boring

4:20 pm

That's too bad.

4:20 pm

Hi everyone :) back too - over half done so I can start listing now!

4:20 pm

Hello, Nancy Boy.

4:20 pm

my grand daughter is 34 now - it took her 6 years to get thru because she had to work and pay her own way. did you know that nd is co ed now?

4:21 pm

Hi, Vic :)

4:22 pm

Nope, didn't know that.

4:22 pm

WHat's up, NB?

4:22 pm

ohhh not a lot Vic, just living life really. How about with you?

4:23 pm

I'm 39, so I was too early.

4:23 pm

Well, that's what life is for!

4:24 pm

not gonna use it for anything else ;)

4:24 pm

And it would be a shame to waste it.

4:25 pm

I want to go take a shower, but I probably shouldn't while the workmen are installing replacement carpet. Wonder how much longer they'll be?

4:25 pm

since moving, I don't have the time to waste ;) no time to be miserable, either, so I'll have to settle for happiness

4:26 pm

debating what to do here. how is this one shaping up?

4:26 pm

They'll never write a novel about you, then, NB. But it's a price I, for one, am willing to pay for happiness.

4:27 pm

not bad bee .. pretty friendly

Feather it isnt great, but, I am at 40 left and just going for list.

4:27 pm

Hello, featherbee. I don't think it's too bad, but I did just give in and open the list with 20 left.

4:27 pm

ok, sounds good! will go shower, and then come back with the laptop in bed. can't wait!

4:27 pm

(Lucky featherbee gets to go shower. *mutter mutter*)

4:28 pm

oh yep, story of my life wouldn't be that interesting, but interesting people are rarely happy. best part of my day is just settling down with Leo!

Good to be Happy, me thinks.

4:30 pm

I disagree, NB. I think you've been reading too much Tolstay. I think happy people are usually a lot more interesting than miserables. Or at least, they have the potential to be. I guess if they're boring to begin with then there's not much you can do with them happy or sad!

4:30 pm

*Tolstoy*

I do think a lot of brilliant people lead fairly un-astounding lives....

Case in point: IN high school, I had to stay with a family for some orchestral concerts. The family I stayed with was a married couple the guy was a very famous avant garde composer.

His favorite thing to do each night was to eat a bowl of cornflakes and watch "Gunsmoke" reruns....

4:33 pm

Maybe we're talking about 2 different things here: interesting *people* vs people to whom interesting *events* occur

4:33 pm

LOL Red! Good point, well made

there is a disctinction....I was thinking of the interesting people...

4:34 pm

Me too, but I think when I first made my quip about the novel, it implied interesting events.

interesting events are rarely that joyful.

4:35 pm

Well, speaking as a writer, there has to be the conflict and the bad stuff to be overcome, but I'm a firm believer in happy endings, both in books and in real life! =D

4:35 pm

well, I don't know. I think the secret to being happy is to not take things too seriously! I don't believe whoever said you can have too much of a good thing...too much of a good thing is simply wonderful.

Indeed there does need to be some sort of conflict....WHich is why I sometimes like biographies, as the conflict is what occurred...

4:36 pm

That'll get you a long way, NB. Take Vitamin C for example... you can't have too much. ;)

wonders if kje, is her and is entereing SIadh.

you can however, have too much coffee at one time....and coffee is a great thing.

4:37 pm

ah, Vicuna; some people can get kidney stones from too much Vitamin C!

I had no idea nef, I always thought you just peed it out, but I suppose....on the way out....

sorry to mention pee in the chog.

4:39 pm

thank you ladies, for ruining the only philosophical moment I have ever had ;)

4:40 pm

lol

Oh Nancy, I apologize. WIll be less opinionated int he future and us ethe word excrete.

4:40 pm

I wondered if someone with actual knowledge would come along and contradict me! =)

4:40 pm

LOL Red! much appreciated

4:40 pm

LOL, NB. That wasn't my intention. I just know that fact from a relatives' recent experience

4:41 pm

Nonsense, NB. philosophical moments are a dime a dozen.

4:41 pm

(Or maybe 10p a dozen for you!)

4:42 pm

LOL Vic, not for me. For the price of philosophical thoughts is directly proportional to the price of alcohol

Oh no Nancy Boy. I went out wiht the girls form work last night...wow the stories they tell...

I'm not a drinker...

4:43 pm

Save up the money you would spend on alcohol and you can buy a boatload of lucid thought.

4:43 pm

NB, I kind of feel that a person is as happy as he/she makes up their mind to be. I've known people who have had tremendous amounts of tragedy in their lives, but they are so happy; whereas others who have had wonderful lives are so glum that they are hard to be around

4:43 pm

Just look at me and redturtle: paragons of teatotalling brilliance.

Vicuna, I am not sure I fit that description!

4:45 pm

name that proper noun! da bears coach

4:45 pm

Add me to the tetotaller list! I had to learn that fact though. I get terribly sick the day after a drink that I just don't indulge anymore.

4:45 pm

hi hursh

4:46 pm

Well, I'm a youth...for at least a little longer. It's what I'm supposed to do. It's Leo who should feel ashamed (he's 24 to my 19, so an old man in our flat)!

4:47 pm

Hello, hursh.

4:47 pm

NB, you are both younger than my kids! I'd never wish to be that young again; but it's great that you're enjoying it. :-)

4:47 pm

ahhhhh, back, and ready to roll!

4:47 pm

WB, feather!

4:48 pm

Hello again, featherb.

4:49 pm

well I think if he was my own age, I'd be scared. I'd be wondering who on earth was going to look after us! apart from babblers ;)

4:49 pm

*quavery voice* Ahh, sonny, when I was your age...

4:50 pm

LOL Vic

4:50 pm

... they hadn't invented happiness yet. We had to use Granpa's old boredom, trimmed with the daisies we picked by the side of the road...

4:50 pm

LOL, Vicuna! (I did sound like that, didn't I?)

4:51 pm

LOL!!

4:51 pm

hee hee

4:51 pm

Not at all, Nef! I was just going off on my own little tangent of absurdity.

4:51 pm

lol vic

4:51 pm

Hello, KatieMcG!

4:52 pm

found my first 8, mini-yay

4:52 pm

hello vic & everyone else

4:52 pm

Mini-Yay for feather!

4:52 pm

It's okay, I love to laugh about how I sound some days!

4:52 pm

i'm loving this one so far

4:52 pm

Think it should be a big yay as I am half way and haven't found any 7, 8 or 9 words

4:53 pm

You people know you are not making it easy for me to actually find words. *grump grump*

4:53 pm

the 8 i found was the most pestery

4:53 pm

I see that you're "old as dirt," Nef. At least that has a sort of elemental dignity.

4:54 pm

found another. most tart. ta8.

4:54 pm

most pestery was na8.

4:54 pm

just tweak it and you'll have most like the sound of a banjo.

4:54 pm

awesome, ty!

4:55 pm

:-D Actually, my sister used to tease my father about being older than rocks --which is *really* old! (He didn't live *that* long though

4:56 pm

I'm off to bed nice and early. See you all tomorrow x

4:56 pm

night katie

4:56 pm

niters, Katie

4:56 pm

My daughter is now pointing out to me that I have failed to spend sufficient quality time with her since I started chatting...

4:56 pm

Goodnight, Katie.

4:57 pm

... so I guess I'd better go be the dutiful mother. Farewell, all!

4:57 pm

bye vic

4:58 pm

bye Vic

4:58 pm

5:31 pm

ty jmitch and luv

TY Luv - i'd never have got that without you.

yw

anyonehave the di 5, 20? I cant seem to get it...

guernsey, did you go pro?

di + if you desire something you ***t it

sorry its obvious....somehow I missed it.

Yes, as you see.

Oh, thanks Luv....

yw red

its a very beautiful landscape...

Couldn't resist in the end. Everyone's so nice.

I haven't been able to get my own photos to upload, so i got one off the web, but i know that bit of the island very well.

its really nice. My Mom is interested in Guernsey after reading the potatoe peel society story.

I liked that book a lot, but it's not very like the island.

Thats sort of what I thought, btu the book was nice. And I have a feeling for her, the photographer, she would enjoy it anyway...

It was sad that the author never saw it published.

Yes, I remember reading that, and it had escaped my mind until you reminded me....

Its been a huge success. they dramatised it on the radio over here. i hope it helps the tourist industry in Guernsey

Well, the story really caught my mom's interest. Partly because her Dad was a Reconnaisainance (how do you spell that!) flyer in WWII and knew all those areas so well.

She has mentioned an interest in going, but we will see...

The best time to go is May/early June when the spring flowers are out. it's really beautiful on the cliff paths then

My big concern always is would it be semi warm then? I always think of that area as rather chilly....

well, I suppose if flowers are out....

Its very variable, that's the main thing but can be just comfortably warm at that time of year. But the British weather is so unpredictable.

It really sounds wonderful, for us Americans, sort of a classic British cliff-y landscape...

Yes, but also a low-lying rocky coastline to the west and north, and fantastic views of the other islands. Very narrow leafy lanes inland and the town is very attractive on a steep hill overlooking the harbour.

oooooooh. I am trying to tak emy Mom somewhere for Photography once ayear or so.... this may be the next. It sounds good!

Let me know if i can help with any more information. i have two brothers over there and i'm going over to see them next month.

It would not be this June, for certain, we just did our big trip in February (Actually had her here, as its very different form where they live) but yes...I will!

Where does your mom live?

in Pennsylvania, I live in Florida.

5:58 pm

Hi gals , any SH7 clues please? last word...

Guernsey would certainly not be as warm as Florida.

have the gn9, clue for the other 9?

I'd expect I'd find it chillier.

its a tw esprit, like a country western guitar the one that has the superlative ending.

Mushrooms Pugmama! musrooms.

6:36 pm

greek salad with big chunks of feta - wonderful. and for a dressing?

6:39 pm

a sun dried tomato with,cold pressed olive oile and secret herbs and spices,and a dash of lemon

Hey. If you have insomnia, cop some ambien!

And apparently from the response, you all just did what I said.

Wake up!

Ambien is really effective apparently.

How much did you all take?

Did I offend some teetotalers?

Drugs are very good for you!

Better living through chemistry?

6:55 pm

hi all. I am back to finish

ALAAAAAAAARRRRRMMMMMMM!

They're all asleepm Boo.

6:56 pm

HI Kaplan, Was in the grid and just noticed your distress

I'm fine- you all just took some sleep meds.

Apparently.

Nobody here but us chickens.

6:58 pm

i'm here, just not feeling very social. gridding away.

6:58 pm

i tried ambien but i stopped because it made me puke, and you can't sleep when you're puking.

I have 34 left- no list.

It takes a lot to knock me out.

6:58 pm

43 left, no list. yet.

6:58 pm

I came home with a migraine today. I just woke up

Where is there a list?

Migraines suck.

6:59 pm

nick's being a total ham, daniel's being daniel

7:00 pm

we all have photos of our kids looking like they are brushing their teeth instead of smiling. The ham stage will pass but the memories are worth it

7:01 pm

nick's just a character! he has such impeccable social timing.

7:01 pm

wesley doesn't just do that for pictures. if he thinks another little kid looks interesting, he'll go up to them and smile like that about 4 inches from their face, and they're like... ok...

7:02 pm

wesley is quite the entertaining kid tho if I remember rightly

7:02 pm

I apologise, i was interrupted and never had a chance to say thank you for the gn clue. So, ty.

7:06 pm

to be loved by children is the best compliment isn't it, hurshy?

7:08 pm

I'm not sure I remember it accurately. I'll try . gn8 is the annoying little pest + a short hello and there is no i in **am.

Happy Birthday

7:58 pm

my personal opinion (and the guys can disagree but I'm right ; ) is that it allows them the out... no rejection if they aren't straight up... and if they change their mind it allows them to blame it on you like you misinterpretted the initial overture...

8:00 pm

hi and bye owl

will be here for commercials

8:00 pm

no shirl... I am positive they don't just want to IM... they want more, but they want it without giving anything ; )

8:00 pm

but honestly, nrk. can they generalize about us? (women?) i think there are all kinds of guys out there, just like ther are all kinds of us

i ofund the funniest personal ad on craig's list - will share it later

8:01 pm

you are correct of course, dorens....

8:01 pm

I agree Dorens... this one is definitely the shyest I've encountered

so funny i am tempted to respond

8:01 pm

it's been a mysterious few weeks

8:01 pm

just like you were correct about the butt thing... you are my hero for that

8:01 pm

what butt thing?

8:01 pm

Owl, I want to see...

8:02 pm

her advice about men liking butts - LOLOL - I forget her exact wording, but it was priceless and timely

8:02 pm

i have the bigges butt out here, trust me. it's embarassing in yoga when i see it in the mirror

8:03 pm

uh oh, then I am in TROUBLE

8:03 pm

well, I was gonna say your advice about big butts, but refrained myself ; )

8:03 pm

yellow pages... implants...

8:03 pm

not ALL men nrk... many like the upper regions more (and i always lacked there)

8:03 pm

yeah, um... yellow pages... implants...

8:04 pm

this shy guy digs you, right? that is what matters.. not the butt, ot the boobs

8:04 pm

LOL

8:04 pm

LOL, I'm kidding... I'm fine with me as is, most days

8:04 pm

give or take 17 pounds

8:04 pm

he6/24? not gonna touch the butt/boob convo!

8:05 pm

I'm trying to lose 26 pounds in 26 weeks... so far 8.5 in 11 weeks... running behind, sigh...

8:05 pm

me too nrkii!! but my goals are more reasonable ; )

8:06 pm

but I have lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks!... my goal is 30 by the end of the year

8:06 pm

26 pounds in 26 weeks isn't so bad

8:06 pm

congrats kje!!!

so doren will you share your butt comment?

8:06 pm

you are obviously working at it... I'm kind of wishing it away half the time, and working at it the other half

8:06 pm

no, a lb a week isn't too bad... but I often slow to 0.5 lb on average... so I am just preparing mentally

8:06 pm

if i could remember i would... brb phone

8:07 pm

hi everyone

8:07 pm

hi lbd

8:07 pm

I can't remember exactly, but we were talking about bodies, and she assured me that most men love a nice round one... so get over it... and I did

8:07 pm

hi nrkii!

well i am NOT calling this guy. except i did when i lost my id friday near his bldg, asked for help and called today to thinak him and tell him i found it

8:08 pm

it just struck me as funny b/c right after that the guy I was dating mentioned how much he liked my butt, something I usually try to hide... so now I don't worry so much

8:09 pm

he6.24 is a type of jewelry. he + wi** up a star + short hello

8:11 pm

Owl, I wouldn't rule him out just because of the "don't be a stranger" line... but probably makes sense to not call him

8:11 pm

To what does your icon say? i can't read it after "I saw a werewolf..."

8:12 pm

kje, I definitely agree with Dorens about guys and butts...

8:12 pm

nah, no point in calling... guys will find you if they are interested

8:12 pm

Looks like 'I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand' to me, lbd.

8:12 pm

Hi folks.

8:13 pm

I think it is true of older guys for sure... men who liked shape... younger guys (younger than me I guess I mean) def have adopted the kate moss ideal

8:13 pm

8:25 pm

i have heard from many disparate sources that big butts are the best... no, not so much tht i asked, but i told him about the conversation since he could here me tapping away that i had phone call, amd he did find it somewhat amusing (i think -- he is a man of few words)

my admirer told me he liked the same thing. you all are onto something

8:26 pm

Dorens - I guess you'll just have to thing have often he grabs your butt when he's with you.

8:26 pm

Oh, this conversation, which I'm sure is not going to head off into detail, reminds me of something I read in the newspaper yesterday. Apparently, the Mumsnet si4 has given up on trying to stop its members doing Friday night detailed chats about their love lifes that 'border on porn'.

8:28 pm

8:28 pm

10:41 pm

brb

10:43 pm

evening all

10:44 pm

hi again Pini. I just got back here myself!

10:44 pm

long time no see, nef! :)

10:44 pm

LOL! (this afternoon, maybe?

10:44 pm

Had to check on neighbor's dog.

10:45 pm

perhaps * giggle *

10:45 pm

everything okay, ga?

10:46 pm

Yes, Nef, she was barking and the sound seemed to be coming from the front (usually they put her in the back yard to go potty)...anyway she's alright...thanks for asking.

10:48 pm

Our little dog barks like crazy sometimes and when that happens I always go check. He thinks he's such a great big dog, but he's dumb as a brick and only weighs 11 lbs. It worries me at night when he starts up like that

10:49 pm

Koda only barks when he goes into the backyard and the neighbor dogs are out...suffice it to say, he doesn't go to the backyard much without me (darn neighbors)

10:50 pm

11 pounds...oh, Nef, what kind of dog is he?

10:50 pm

Oh, and he barks when someone's at the front door...

10:51 pm

Pini, sounds like you have a great alarm system.

10:51 pm

shizt-poo (part shiz-tzu, part miniature (or toy?) poodle

10:51 pm

so far, so good! :)

10:51 pm

He sounds wonderful.

10:52 pm

how big is your dog, Pini?

10:52 pm

28 lb Beagle

10:53 pm

:-) they are nice loyal dogs, aren't they? I needed something that didn't sh4/6 (allergies), so that's a breed I couldn't have

10:54 pm

It's been almost two years (May 10th) that Scrabbler and I lost a pet. I still carry his picture on my cellphone. I have just gotten a rescued dog...she's a nice dog.

10:54 pm

what kind, peach?

10:54 pm

what kind is it ga?

10:55 pm

Koda doesn't sh4 much, but there is some...he has a short, smooth coat...silky when washed! :)

10:55 pm

any hope of finding another 96 words?

10:56 pm

Remember Eddie (Frazier's dads dog) she kind of resembles him but I don't think she's a Jack Russell. She has (and loses) more hair than I have on my head.

10:56 pm

oh my, peach...are you enjoying her tho?

10:57 pm

we keep our dog trimmed to less that an inch, he doesn't sh4/6 and he loves being brushed (much different than our first shizt-poo) We got the first one at the pound; and rescued this one from being put down

10:58 pm

You can do it Pini! Keep on going!

10:58 pm

Koda's my first, but if he were to ever have a sibling, I think it will be something a little smaller...

10:58 pm

28 lbs get heavy when I have to lift him into the truck!

10:58 pm

(working it, Nef)

10:59 pm

Well, yes, it's that I'm in a wheel chair and it is kind of difficult to see that she gets enough exercise. But yes, I will keep her...I do care for her....I try not to compare her with any of the other dogs that I've had. She is a runner though so I have to be careful whenever I open the doors.

10:59 pm

LOL, Pini! That sounds ----dirty!

10:59 pm

(he can jump down from that height, but can't jup UP to it)

10:59 pm

*jump

11:00 pm

just tie the leash to your chair, peach...and go sledding!!!

11:01 pm

there you go, ga! Have him pull you around! Fastest transportation around! :-D

11:01 pm

Hey, now that's an idea, Pini.

11:02 pm

just don't tie it to one side! make sure you have a splitter so the leash leads from the center...otherwise you'll forever be going in circles!!! :)

11:03 pm

Right Nef. I can see it now on the evening news.....Lady in wheelchair is racing down I-20 right now she is neck and neck with a semi. Hey, lady, slow down.

11:04 pm

* hands Peach a speedometer *

11:04 pm

Yes, Pini, I pretty much go in circles anyway....just laughing all the way. (to keep from crying) HaHa

11:04 pm

Thanks for that Pini.

11:05 pm

LOL!! There is someone in our church that does have a dog that pulls her around in a wheel chair at community events. I'm not sure, but I *think* it's a golden retriever

11:05 pm

np peach

11:05 pm

that's a common aid dog, Nef...you're probably right

11:06 pm

Golden are great dogs...my oldest daughter has two.

11:06 pm

Golden are great dogs...my oldest daughter has two.

11:06 pm

Her dogs seem to have a lot of health problems. I don't know much about that breed.

11:07 pm

Koda is snoring...

11:07 pm

I know I saw her in church with the dog once. He was a very well-behaved dog even for a church service

11:07 pm

...I have to pat or shake him to make him stop since he doesn't understand, "Honey, roll over, you're snoring!"

11:07 pm

I see that I'm (once again) repeating myself.

11:08 pm

okay 60 leftnow to see howclose I get

11:08 pm

no worries, peach...we all do it now and then

11:08 pm

my sister has bred them; there are basically 2 types of goldens: one for hunting and one for family (pet)

11:08 pm

git'r dun, tanja...

11:08 pm

(92 more to go here and not pushing it)

11:08 pm

I used to have to do that to my husband. It is so much nicer without him...HaHa

11:09 pm

At least Koda understands the "touch" and quits!! More than I can say for most others who snore...

11:09 pm

26 left

11:10 pm

88 now ;)
