12:46 am

mostly i am okay but from time to time. . . .

12:46 am

hmmm...no4 to self, must think of way to eliminate sorrow from motherhood...

12:46 am

motherhood is not so sorrowful as widowhood

12:47 am

I absitively, posolutely am extemely supportive of single mothers....

12:47 am

impossible pav- sorrow is part of the job

12:48 am

just sometimes i look and see i have been a widow for twice as long as i was married and get weepy

12:48 am

well, it can be overcome with JOY! nonetheless...le4 find something smile-ful for jmc...

so, I forget, being a commoner and all, is it your Ladyship? your Grace? mi'Lady...no that's already spoken for...hmmm...Dame Jilli it is....no offence to any actual royals partaking of "free time"

12:54 am

a Dame isn't royal, Pav -- it's like a Sir

12:55 am

yes, but I thought only the Queen could bestow the OBE, etc., I just didn't want to offend any would be royals who thought I shouldn't be handing out titles willy nilly, or willy Jilli, so to speak...

12:56 am

Oh, I see, Pav. Any real royals around? *looks all over*

12:56 am

lots of names in who's online but some people leave their computers on all the time

1:31 am

hello - jilli and flosey - i am here 8.30am

1:31 am

I'm still here, but my name doesn't show in who's online -- never has.

1:31 am

hi ursh

1:32 am

hi Christine, wonder why that would be

1:32 am

hi ursh!

1:32 am

You can't see yourself. Hello all

1:32 am

your name is showing in Who's online Christine

1:33 am

That's very strange, Christine!

1:33 am

Someone out there knows I'm planning world domination, and they're jtrying to undermine my mission.

1:33 am

I see myself lyn

1:33 am

hi lynxxx -- I see me in Who's Online, just can't add myslef as a friend :)

1:34 am

I can't see me

1:35 am

sounds like a song lyn - I don't see me...........

1:35 am

in your eyes anymore.....

1:36 am

oh why can't I make them shine as before!

1:36 am

I see you, lynxxx (here and in Who's Online)

1:36 am

or words to that effect

1:36 am

Lynxx - I see you, but not me. Wanna join my mission. If we're invisible, we could be ninjas???

1:37 am

nice song, flosey!

1:37 am

thanks Jilli, wondered if anyone else remembered it

1:37 am

oh well it's just peculiar then. I know I have looked before and noticed that you can't see yourself. Maybe Canadians are an exception!

1:38 am

I'd never heard it, flosey!

1:38 am

hmmm, think it must have been on the hit parade way back

1:38 am

Yes, of course Canadians are Special :)

1:39 am

Maybe Dr.God is Canadian, and affording them extraS??

1:39 am

lol

1:40 am

He's a Chicagoan, I think.

1:40 am

hubby and I enjoyed the most relaxing day today, he made breakfast, we sat by the fire and read and dozed until he made supper! aren't I spoiled

1:41 am

what, no lunch?

1:41 am

very nice Flosey

1:41 am

actually, it was brunch jilli

1:41 am

I had a very restless night so slept late

1:42 am

niiiice, flosey :)

1:42 am

Jillibus, you're probably too young to remember that song - it's from the late 40s.

1:42 am

he's a real sweetie, jilli, as you know

1:42 am

ah, thanks Christine

1:43 am

You jest, Christine!

1:43 am

Yes, flosey, you're a lucky girl

1:44 am

What's the name of that song?

1:44 am

yes, jilli, and I do appreciate him

1:44 am

Flosey, lovely icon. My daughter has a lot of Miriam Haskell's stuff.

1:46 am

Lurking tag team fireworks for me and Met

1:47 am

YAY pug/met :)

1:48 am

Don't know why I hadn't heard that song -- who sang it?

1:49 am

Perry CComo, among others. A favorite song of my Mum.

1:49 am

ty jilli - Met's going home today, so gotta hit the hay - nite everybody

1:50 am

1:55 am

Congrats Flosey

1:55 am

Al Martino also sang it Jilli, do you remember him? - also Jim Reeves

1:57 am

1:58 am

lol, thanks Mitch

2:06 am

YAY flosey!!!

2:07 am

I do remember Al Martino too -- will have a look at YouTube.

2:08 am

Hi FM :)

2:08 am

(Was buried in the grid -- still need 27)

2:08 am

want any clues Jilli?

2:09 am

I'm sure they're fishy, but how about the de5/12, after the mosquito stuff

2:11 am

that would be the only de5/12 jilli

2:11 am

ok, but I still can't find it, lol!

2:11 am

plural the mosquito stuff

2:12 am

omg!

2:12 am

ty book

2:12 am

yw. I often forget to do that as well

2:13 am

because you think your de4 went the other way

2:14 am

as I did and didn't get it for a long time

2:14 am

well, how about the de6 and 7 after that?

2:15 am

Hi jilli, sorry popped off there for a moment to get another mug of tea and then remembered I needed to tie the rambling rose. Hi book

2:15 am

the rain came down in a great de6 then pl

2:15 am

a flood

2:16 am

thanks flosey and book. I'm just blind at this point!

2:16 am

and I even had the last part of that

2:17 am

yes, the olympic sport

2:18 am

ty. i missed the sport

2:19 am

I've come to the conclusion that staring at these yellow cubes does cause headache

2:19 am

I see the volcano is back (and pl), verty topical at the moment as more than 20 countires airports are now shut or have restricted flights.

2:21 am

yes, we've been hearing about it a lot!

2:22 am

is the eu7 a usual word?

2:23 am

sounds like a girls name

2:23 am

ending with 2 vowels

2:23 am

*scratches head and hopes for a light bulb moment*

2:24 am

Prince Andrew's second daughter, last vowel changed.

2:24 am

Good morning/evening all.

2:24 am

actually, I've heard it used as a man's name also with single vowel ending

2:25 am

ty Haz and flosey!

2:25 am

yw jilli

2:25 am

and hi Haz, did you see my clue about you?

2:25 am

Good morning Haz

2:25 am

oh yes -- often shortened like Mr Autry of cowby singer fame

2:25 am

No, flosey, just arrived.

2:25 am

yes jilli

2:26 am

ah, ne6 and 7 - works you might prefer not to see, Haz

2:26 am

much less use!

2:26 am

Yes - nasty little things!

2:26 am

lol

2:27 am

didn't eralise Haz didn't like them

2:27 am

oh boy, typo time

2:27 am

Haz doesn't like anything to do with sewing :)

2:27 am

apparently it was not her favourite option in school

2:27 am

Jillibus, combine them with thread and it's one of my top ten hates.

2:28 am

haha! I thought you meant injections

2:28 am

I do all her sewing and she does my ironing in return!

2:29 am

Haz, reminds me of my sister, at the end of the year she brought home an unfinished apron - grade 9 or 10??

2:29 am

Oh, injections aren't a problem! It's the prospect of being asked to do something with the sewing variety that makes me shudder.

2:30 am

I liked sewing, embroidery, etc, when I had more time

2:30 am

ah, it's the injections that make me shudder

2:30 am

Even darned a sock the other day.

2:30 am

Hole in sock = bin.

2:31 am

I love embroidery too jilli - am hoping to make some time for it this year and finish a couple of projects that have been on the go for ages.

2:31 am

Lol Haz, same here.

2:32 am

unless of course you have knitted the sock

2:32 am

I'm forever sticking toe through the end of sox

2:32 am

Greetings lynxxx!

2:32 am

Hello lynxxx.

2:33 am

hi FM & Haz

2:33 am

phew finally got the eu.

2:33 am

do people still knit socks?

2:33 am

oh yes, flosey!

2:33 am

I don't know, but turning the heel always seemed to be the tricky bit.

2:34 am

yes, I remember that part with horror Haz

2:34 am

My husband still has a couple of pair that someone knitted him

2:34 am

oh, pats self on back for finding id8

2:34 am

2:35 am

Our Sunday started with quite a frost but the sun is out and the temps are rising well, should be about 16 today :)

2:39 am

ah yes, Jilli, I've run out of Pets, perhaps my little sweetie will do?

2:39 am

yay found the id8 abit of a twisty route but the number count helped.

2:40 am

Just realised there's a word lurking within the id8.

2:40 am

I guess he's your pet these days, flosey

2:41 am

yup, jilli, and a very dear one

2:41 am

sheesh so there is Haz

2:42 am

A two for one...

2:42 am

any clues for gu6/30?

2:43 am

sounds like a precious metal, sort of

2:43 am

sounds like the colour of a precious metal

2:44 am

ah yes, more accurately Mitch

2:44 am

TY FM, nice clue

2:44 am

ah, ty flo and FM

2:44 am

2:46 am

To rhyme with what a nurse takes when holding your wrist and looking at a watch.

2:53 am

wow.. look out gremlin.. jilli is getting her game on

2:54 am

Hello ruru!

2:54 am

It's an anagram of the fights.

2:54 am

gd morning everybody

2:54 am

Good morning, ruru.

2:54 am

hi FM

2:54 am

You jest, ruru :D

2:54 am

Hello, ruby.

2:54 am

are you guys ashed out...??

2:54 am

and hello ex birthday girl :)

2:54 am

hello haz

2:54 am

hi ruru and ruby

2:55 am

No ruru, it is too high up in the stratosphere but is affecting many countries aiports.

2:55 am

hi Ruby!

2:55 am

and jilli and ruru and FM. I don't feel older, but my husband sent me a note adding a year to my age! For a minute, he had me fooled

2:55 am

It's getting pretty serious, ruru. The knock-on effects are going to be huge. Thousands stranded who can't get home and it may last into next week.

2:55 am

hello lynxx

2:55 am

I think the ramifications of this ah mess will go on for weeks!

2:56 am

not to mention international courier services and import/export of produce. They say that HEathrow may well be shut down until Friday.

2:56 am

of course all of you in England are willing to house all these stranded people?

2:56 am

ruru, I'm talking about people from Britain who are stranded abroad. They've had their holiday, now can't get home.

2:56 am

Heaven help us if the big volcano starts errupting.

2:56 am

yes, have you all been asked about spare rooms and non-paying guests?

2:57 am

And of course, it works both ways, people who've been here and can't get away.

2:57 am

all of a sudden, I think a lot of people are becoming aware of "global" community issues. Before, they said "Iceland, where's that?" Not now

2:58 am

mmm just shows how dependant we have become on air transport for a myriad of reason (not just holidays)

2:58 am

Buses and trains services must be swamped

2:58 am

nothing like being stranded in airports for days to make a memorable vacation

2:59 am

yes EuroStar is fully booked and most of the ferries are reporting high bookings.

2:59 am

Ferries are running at full capacity but they still can't cope with the numbers.

2:59 am

No point in staying at the airport, they're pretty much ghost towns at the minute.

3:00 am

can you imagine being at the end of a package tour, not having extra money, and being stuck in a city like London or Frankfurt or Paris?

3:00 am

Caught a snippet on the BBc this morning that any *air mail* letter from the UK are beeing driven to Spain and then flown out from there!

3:01 am

They'll find ways and means of doing all sorts of things, it just makes everything feel less certain and normal.

3:01 am

what I don't understand is the visible anger of some of the passengers. Who are they blaming?

3:02 am

I bet the conspiricy theorists are having a field day.

3:02 am

They're just angry and frustrated - it's even worse when there's nobody to blame and FM refuses to show her face.

3:03 am

ideo

3:03 am

Oh ha ha Haz, now I am to be blamed for natural disaster too? That is a heavy burden to carry.

3:03 am

sorry, not a word anyway

3:03 am

no but change the last letter ruby

3:03 am

A neighbour has erected a sign complaining about Council rates and generally having a rant. Also blames the Council for damage done to his house in the earthquake !

3:03 am

a little coffeed-up....

3:03 am

We need to consult with Ata to see whether you can be blamed for natural disasters.

3:04 am

there is one thing about the ash in France though...

3:04 am

there are French people in those coastal areas blaming everyone else on their having had houses built in inappropriate areas. Tant pis to them!

3:04 am

good for the vines Ru?

3:04 am

and for my garden?

3:04 am

Seeing as I have to take the blame for so much can I not be exempt from acts of God or even Dr_God :)

3:05 am

no.. cuts back on all the cigarettes in outdoor cafes..

3:05 am

lol

3:05 am

actually the ash will be really bad for the grapes if it is still around then

3:06 am

you don't need to smoke, just breathe!

3:06 am

Back in 5 one more shot of tea needed.

3:12 am

well I found three 7's so far.. anyone know what the 8 starts with?

3:13 am

id8 -

3:13 am

id

3:13 am

no idea yet for me

3:13 am

id8/55

3:13 am

but I like this friendly grid anyway

3:13 am

3 7's, no idea for me, but I like this friendly grid anyway

3:13 am

thanks got it

3:14 am

3:16 am

64 and better get dressed!

3:16 am

3:59 am

back for a half hour

4:00 am

Hi Ruby.How is the garden?

4:00 am

did you mean me, Christine? hahah

4:01 am

The garden is beautiful, better every day. However, I was deceived by a tulip-grower, planted 24 supposed-to-be pink tulips and I think they're going to be white!!

4:01 am

You got me .I wondered if the dust was spoiling the blooms.

4:02 am

This place knocks me out every spring!

4:02 am

I've never lived any place with such a clement climate

Hey

4:02 am

White tulips will go with anything and just as attractive if not quite what you wanted.

4:02 am

hi herin!

how are you all?

4:03 am

I know, but I only use a little bit of white in the garden and these look very strange so far, even the leaves are partly white!

4:03 am

Morning herin.

Morning Macadam and Ruby

4:04 am

Time to leave for a while ,visitors.Back later.

4:04 am

I am too compulsive with my garden design, I'm afraid, VERY limited color range

have a great day Mac

4:04 am

bye mac!

well I got sunbrunt in Autumn

4:05 am

I can't wait for some real sunshine here; my doctor keeps saying SUN!

no realy not good

I don't like gtting sunburnt

4:07 am

that's because you are young....

no that is because I am fair

4:09 am

and, ultimately, it wrecks your skin and gives you wrinkles when you're my age.

4:09 am

do you have freckles?

yep

I was saying that today about sunbaking is bad

4:13 am

yes, and dangerous for melanoma

4:13 am

but, at my age, it is good to get sun for ones bones!

I mean baking not just putting sunscreen on.

I saw a girl I went to school with and I swear she looked in her 40's due to sun baking

4:15 am

when I lived in Miami I was chestnut-colored most of the year. It looked great then, and now I look like a prune!

opps

4:18 am

I'm trying to reach half before lunch....

I am trying to wake up

I had a 3 hour nap

4:19 am

I wd like to sleep after 8AM but dogs and husband won't allow it - lots of barking and whining!

4:21 am

one more and half.....

opps

our cats do that

4:22 am

I think they can tell time, even my husband!

i think so

little monkeys

4:23 am

yay, half!

4:23 am

maybe it's the chimes on the clock!

4:23 am

big monkeys!

maybe

4:25 am

see you later; have a nice afternoon/evening (mrning, if it's USA!

enjoy

ello

5:54 am

Hello lurkers and studious babblers :) Back again to try and finish off. Lori I know you are out there, come and play!

5:55 am

wb FM. Just finished watching new DrWho. VG! like Alice in Wonderland

5:56 am

Hi lynxx, am not convinced by the new Dr Who, does not have me gripped like the last couple but am keeping an open mind.

5:57 am

Each is special, I think this one is very kooky. I love the new way of filming - directing. Does it continue like that?

5:57 am

Bought a great bargain at the local car boot this morning 6 very well established geraniums for £5, at the garden centre they would have cost at least twice that.

5:58 am

we aWe had episode 3 last night and I guess the answer to your question is yes.

hello friends over the world

5:59 am

Do you know when/how to prune geraniums? I only have one that a nice neighbour snapped off for me - a strong vivid pink - but I want to keep it bushy and not sure how

6:00 am

Hi Esprit

6:00 am

hi Espritd

don't you just smip off the deadheads lyn?

snip even

just got up

6:01 am

Not sure lynxx as am going through a steep learning curve here as haven't gardened in a long time. The way i am learning is by googgling things.

6:01 am

mmm not sure, the parent plant is very leggy and mine is heading that way already

6:02 am

good idea FM, will do too

just keep trimming it

6:02 am

Taking off deadheads encourages new flower but not sure how you keep one bussy as there are so many varieties in the Pelagonium family

6:02 am

*bushy even

feed it ice cream and pizza, that keeps me full and round ;-p

6:03 am

I even tried identifiying a lant by typing in the description of the leaf the other day and found it pretty much straight away. LOL Esprit

6:04 am

*leaf!! for heaven sake my typing is getting worse than ever!

6:05 am

What time is it with you Esprit?

6 am

6:06 am

Ah OK 6 hours behind me. Passes a mug of coffee over to your time zone :)

mmm ty

6:07 am

yw, and lynxxx is probably at least 6 hours ahead of me. The planes may not be flying but at least we can still talk all over the world.

looking to be a nice day here

what a freak thing that Iceland volcano eh?

6:08 am

It is beautifl here, frost to start but warmed up v quickly and now is about +17, spring blossom is all over :)

love this time of year

6:08 am

is all over as in the sense of it is everwhere not all done *someone hit me*

6:09 am

The volcano is causing chaos Esprit my daughter should have flown last Thursday now who knows

yes, I've been watching the news

fire and ice what a wild mess

6:09 am

The volcano is causing so many probs for airlines and businesses all over Europe now and as there is no wind it seems it will stay the same for a while yet.

6:10 am

It is still erupting and there is a danger the big one will erupt, just goes to show mother nature rules

Mother Nature is still the boss

6:10 am

oh and btw there is the good old volcano and pl in the grid.

6:10 am

V true Norma, if the big ones does go .......

6:10 am

That is one I always miss FM lol

6:11 am

Hi all.....clue please for en6 please?

6:11 am

I was chuffed to find it by myself this morning Norma as I usually miss it too.

6:11 am

Just goes to show what a small world we live on when something 1000 miles away can cause such chaos

6:11 am

en6 - the whole

6:11 am

If you hadn't pointed it our FM I probably would have missed it again lol

where is your daughter Norma?

6:12 am

thanx lynxxx

6:12 am

en6/24 - a being a life force and also a word that is used a great deal in Sci Fi films

6:12 am

en6 actually maybe not 'the whole' but a being

6:12 am

She is at home in the UK she should have been flying to the Balearics

6:13 am

What a shame Norma, will she be able to get a refund?

I have a son in China, fortunately not near this earthquake or the last one 2 years ago

6:14 am

There was an interesting discussion about refunds and liability on the BBC this morning.

6:14 am

That is something to be grateful for Esprit ... you never stop worrying about them do you lol

6:14 am

Thank goodness for that Esprit!

hell no

6:14 am

BBL dinner is up

6:14 am

TTFN lynxxx

6:14 am

hello again.. What I have learned about gernaiums and hardy geraniums in my "vast" 11 yrs of gardening is: 1) you can keep the window-box geraniums in the garage all winter, watering them once a month, and then put them in the ground when frost is past, 2) always deadhead and don't give plant food or they grow leaves and too tall for window boxes

hello agin

6:15 am

oh thanks for the tips ruby and hello! and hello herin.

wow, it didn't say anything about my suggestion to feed pizza and ice cream?

6:15 am

My daughter didn't have any bother with the airline she was flying with FM they just re-booked for next week, but I believe a lot of the airlines are being difficult

6:15 am

what's for dinner lynxx?

hi herein

6:16 am

I never knew that and always threw them away until 2 yrs ago. They are lovely in border gardens

6:16 am

*feeds Esprit ice cream and pizza* as she is obviously wanting that forbreakfast :)

6:16 am

hi jean

hi ruby

6:16 am

esprit, come here, we'll feed you excellent pizza from our Sicilian resto in the village\

nooooooooooooooooo never for breakfast

anyway I ate like royalty last night so not hungy yet

I had dinner and really should be doing an essay due tommorrow but just is not feeling the love of it

6:17 am

oh, cold pizza, left in the box over night, is one of the "great " breakfasts. [that's very New York, I'm afraid]

6:17 am

HAve to say that the light aircraft round here are having a field day as the skies are clear of commercial jets - have many buzzing little planes crossing the skies a.t.m

yes, never developed a taste for cold pizza, needs at least a few sec in the micro

6:18 am

however, the Sicilian tries to make couscous but doesn't have a clue. I could teach him but then, again, if I felt likecooking, I would!!!!

Snap on that Esprit

6:18 am

don't have a microwave, too old to have learned

good old oven will do then

6:19 am

I learned to make couscous from an Algerian in Paris in '68 -- OMG, I'm so old!!!!!

6:19 am

I have been know in the past to have left over Indian take away for breakfast - can say it is very tasty.

6:19 am

but if anybody wants to know how, I can teach you

how old ARE you?

6:20 am

I think most leftovers are better than in original state1

6:20 am

would love to know ruby, saw a prog the other day where a chef toasted the couscous before poring the water on.

Me? Old 32

6:20 am

ancient, especially since yesterday (FM knows)

did u have a birthday?

6:21 am

*grin* ruby is an elegant mature women and we don't discuss age do we?

6:21 am

T'was her birthday eysterday.

my birthday is next Wednesday, same as QE2

6:21 am

no no, you put it in a big roasting dish and sprinkle on salted water, then rub it between your hands; then sprinkle on olive oil, then rub it again; then more salty water, then rub it again; then more oil, then etc.

Ruby Happy birthday.

HB Ruby

6:22 am

Finally, you put iit over the big couscousiere with the fabulous broth and stew.

6:22 am

You mean as in the ship Esprit?

I like that "elegant mature" part. Don't think I will ever be accused of either ;-]

6:22 am

Thank you everybody, didn't mean to make such a continuing production.

no the Queen

not the same year tho

6:23 am

21t, jean? We'll all make a cake for the PB and then, IF you make a mistake, it will be waiting! This is the nicest group

6:23 am

Ahhh :)

sounds good to me!

Ruby I was about to say you have teh same date of birthday as my friends little girl but I was off a ew days

6:24 am

hiya everyone

Hi Movie.

if I was born a day early I would be sharing with Hitler ewwwwwwwwwwwww

6:24 am

I have six "birthday friends" but I guess it's a 1 in 365 chance.... wildcat and I have the same birthday.

6:25 am

eeeewwwww

6:25 am

Hey mm!!! How goes the day?

6:25 am

hi movie man

I was meant to be born on Christmas day.

6:25 am

it's my grandmother's birthday on Tuesday (the 20th), and she shares a birthday with Hitler

6:25 am

The weather today is bloody gorgeous

6:25 am

here, too

and did you have other plans Herein?

6:26 am

I am happy to share my birthday month with some great babblers. Isn't it just mm :)

6:26 am

still a little bit chilly, but not too bad and otherwise gorgeous. When is your birthday, FM? Just don't tell us your age, you'll make us "old" ones feel worse

6:26 am

We're haven't a family do to celebrate my grandmother's birthday today

6:26 am

She's 90

Yep Esprit 2 months early

6:27 am

*having

6:27 am

I'm younger than that, lol!

6:27 am

How great is that! Hope you all have a wonderful day.

what was the big hurry ;-D?

6:27 am

because of babble and facebook, that was the most birthday greetings I've ever received. I am very grateful and feel extremely lucky to have found this community!

DIdn't want to be ripped of with presents :D

6:28 am

We will mitch

we should start our own nation and teach people how to get along

good thinking herein

6:28 am

LOL ruby, I'm a Virgo.

6:28 am

if FM's b-day is May, I may be able to celebrate it "en face"

Scorpio Libra cusp

6:29 am

OK, better consult the charts.....

6:29 am

ruby do you think you will have time in your schedule for a Lodon meet up?

6:29 am

oh, like my son, who is BTW, coming to visit in May, IF he can get on a plane!@

hopefully the volcano will have finished it's tantrum

6:30 am

I hope so but still haven't reserved as I am scared about leaving here on many levels.

6:30 am

my son and wife were coming standby on united, but with the problems, standby's may be put on very long hold.

where is your son?

6:31 am

how far are you from London, FM, more than an hour by train?

6:31 am

About an hour to central London.

6:32 am

My son is in Austin TX and is a musician, the leader of whose band died last week at age 26. Son is at 6's and 7's

6:32 am

as is Atalante and quite few other babblers.

oh no, what happened to him?

6:32 am

Perfect, Fm, I am sure we will have time!!!! :D

6:32 am

phone back in 5.

6:33 am

Weird circumstancesof the death; nobody knows exactly yet but son has no band for the moment. Evidently, there's a ten-minute video on you tube of JTWright, and my son is on there, second guitar.

6:34 am

I haven't seen it yet, not very adroit at all this computer stuff

Ruby do I have you on FB?

6:35 am

FM: as soon as I make the reservation, we cAn make plans. It would be a hoot, and I'll bring along photos of the "stead"

6:36 am

I don't think so, herin, I'm nancy kelley, nelliekelley50@yahoo.com

Yes I am

6:36 am

is it dangerous, putting my e-mail address on here? My son keeps warning me as he's a computer guy (as well as being a musician!)

6:37 am

we have a cuckoo living in the field above the house and although I've only seen him/her once, I can here him often. Lovely!

It is best if you add gaps. Like JaneDo At Yahoo Dot Com

6:38 am

hear* arghh! my spelling is going down the tubes, clockwise? counterclockwise for you, Heirn? Or is it the other way awound

No idea I can't be bothered getting up to check that one :D

6:39 am

what will they take from me, the internat pirates, my foot-printed floors?

no idea

6:40 am

if you flush the toilet, you can tell....:D

6:40 am

or my messy studio

I put up my ''spam'' account that way I get stuff but if it gets influx of spam so be it

6:41 am

that's a good idea!

man It is nearly 10pm and I still haven't started my essay

Just can't do it

6:42 am

in a mother's voice "get to work, Herin!!!"

6:42 am

at 10PM I am always wrapped in a duvet and watching TV, not eactly energetic at night!

6:43 am

Back, ruby best not to put yr email addy in the chog as you never know who is going to pick it up, you can put it in your profile which is safer.

my response bite me

6:43 am

ok, never again.

6:43 am

lol, herin!!!!

Ruby I love your puppies

6:44 am

that has appeared on TV in the last year or so. Where did that come from?

6:44 am

So do I!

seriously need more sleep. I think 944pm is too late to SMS my teacher

6:44 am

I think I would go bonkers without my pups!

o bugger I forgot to hang out the washing and bring it in

6:45 am

I am amazed by how much confidential information do put in this log because they feel comfortable here but there are always people lurking who don't even need to have a babble account to see the chat as it shows up on the very first screen before you log in (or it used to - been so long since I logged out I am not sure).

6:45 am

Can we help? What is the paper about? You never know what resources you might find here. I'm good for art history and cooking.....

Um its a paper on Human Resources and a dream job and writing KPI's and I really can't be stuffed

6:46 am

What I never put is banking info or my real age (lol) but otherwise, I think facebook is probably the real achilles' heel

6:46 am

urg HR, a nightmare!

I never put in FB status ''Going out to do this or personal info''

6:46 am

I once got a great job making up a truly fictitious marketing plan, using everybody I knew in any related area. And it worked!

6:47 am

Nothing like utilising resources ruby!!!

6:47 am

But don't tell my husband, because it was his company that gave me the job! HAHAHAH

6:47 am

LOL!

Well that is rude. I have my name in the White Pages with my mobile umber

6:48 am

I think we all have funny (hahah or peculiar) lives in different ways. This is a very interesting group!

6:49 am

What is rude herin?

6:49 am

What is rude? How I got my job? I was starving to death in NY at the time....

No the fact that My name is in the White Pages with my mobile number and No body asked me

6:50 am

Ahh OK.

6:50 am

I bought a mobile phone and couldn't figure out how to use it. Too old, I guess, and I shudder at the idea of the phone ringing

AND fb just changed there settings again ffs

6:51 am

Oh, I understand. That's like the phone company listed our fax number and I get telemarketers on the fax machine and have to run downstairs to disconnect!

6:51 am

fb's settings are very annoying!

6:51 am

ruby you ne4 a course on modern technology to become more independant.

6:52 am

when/if my son comes in May, perhaps he can help sort me out. The only thing I can do is type well, having earned my living that way through school, etc.

6:53 am

I know hun, you ne4 to make a long list of things for him to do *grin*

Ruby I am not listed which is a pain and I didn't think they listed mobiles

6:54 am

like sort out my 1000's of photos. I had a friend come and enter some photos and she wound up copying everything multiple times. AAArghh!

6:55 am

We are listed but only husband's name, not mine. I never changed it after we married. He doesdn't like it, but I think it was a smart move.

6:55 am

Unfortunately they list everything these days herin unless your country has opt out options in place. but even then other countries can still contact you :(

6:56 am

I think, in the end, I am not a very nice person!!!!

Well I like to be private as I have too many freaks that irritate me

6:58 am

Don't go down that route ruby - we all have our drawbacks.

6:59 am

what kind of freaks, herin, I hope not from babble. Maybe from the phone book or from school?

Lets just say the kind of freaks I don't want on a leash tied to my bed

6:59 am

I have call display, I don't answer numbers I don't recognize. That cuts down on frustration. If it's important I figure they will leave a message

7:00 am

and good morning

7:00 am

Yup good point sukee and Hi.

7:00 am

hi sukee. When a telemarketer calls, I say I don't speak French

7:01 am

if they get nasty, I just hang up. If they call back (and it has actually happened), I make my husband answer the phone

7:01 am

It is 1pm here and time for lunch, thanks for the chat and TTFN.

7:01 am

bye FM, see you later, I'm going to take my siesta!

Bye FM

Sukee I mean now you can pick my last name and get the address hence the reason i don't have a lot of info out there

7:03 am

I think lady is a sufficiently obscure last name! lol

Ruby I am not lucky to have a common last name though.

7:04 am

mine is ordinary, but not for France, and nobody has it

7:05 am

Ireland or the US would be a different story!

I am going through my FB to delete things that are irrelevant

7:10 am

is that possible? I thought FB kept everything, forever, like google

7:11 am

bye for now, nap time!

enjoy

Hi anyone.

7:18 am

Hi Sally

Ah, I'm not alone then :-)

7:19 am

There were lots on a few minutes ago but they have all drifted off

Lunch time for some.

7:20 am

I think they have all gone to enjoy the sunshine lol

Have been out on and off all morning, so have come in to do some necessary chores.

7:21 am

Hi there fellow Babbleonians.

7:21 am

I am just waiting for the last load from the washing machine .... Hi gramma

7:22 am

I require 1 word to finish this grid. Any help out there? eu7, please.

Hi gramma.

7:23 am

NM

7:24 am

May I offer a clue or two before I take off?

7:24 am

Thanks for the offer gramma but am only just about half way thru so will keep on for a while ...

Not long started gramma, so would rather get as much as I can first.

7:26 am

7:27 am

nm, I had to go in circles

7:27 am

7:29 am

Hi Crossy!!

7:29 am

Hi Crossy

7:29 am

I only have 37 words.

7:30 am

I had a phone call sorry.

Merk, the grid is quite fun and ea4/6

7:31 am

7:31 am

See you all later

7:31 am

I'll reach that point, then. I always do eventually.

7:31 am

bye gramma

7:51 am

It took me forever to realize there was a 'g' down in the bottom row.

7:51 am

By the way, where is everyone this morning? Church?

In the UK, they are probably all out in the garden.

can anyone please clue the en6/24 plz? Last one and I just can't get it.

7:53 am

And a very good place to be.

7:54 am

I'm only just starting the 'e' words. I'll look with you.

en + small bird, (blue, great or coal!) + sometimes vowel

Of course- thanks so much Sally.

8:31 am

Hi ((Mom)) and a very good morning to you too

8:31 am

good morning Mom

8:32 am

Hi guernseygirl

8:32 am

{{Annie}} good moring!

8:32 am

good morning Boobear

love the tapeworm ad, mom

8:32 am

Howe are you today,Mom

8:32 am

thank you Guernseygirl. I thought it was a hoot

8:32 am

I am going great Boobear, how are you?

8:33 am

I beg your pardon ! I am hoot!

8:33 am

Mom, Tapeworms, lard and cigarettes...what's next? opium..

8:33 am

Hi Hoot!!

8:33 am

fine..just eating breakfast while I play babble

8:33 am

hmmm, there are several to choose from. I haven't decided which one will be next.

8:34 am

morning couldn't resist.

lol hoot

8:34 am

glad to hear, Boobear. I am eating my breakfast while babbling also.

8:34 am

hehehe -

8:34 am

Mom, I know it will be a good one.

8:36 am

Love that easyjet is in the grid but not flying here cos of ash plume.

8:37 am

I will change it tomorrow.

well-observed Pat

8:37 am

have to be careful, wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes

8:37 am

Sorry should have shielded part of that sentence. Me idiot.

8:37 am

oh Pat, that must be awful

it's strangely quiet without any planes, even though i don't normally notice them particularly

8:39 am

Well, the mother in law can't complain about the dust or the dirty car. Some advantages. No hols booked but can say couldn't go to 'somewhere very expensive' as no flights.

8:39 am

you get so use to hearing them

it shows that the Earth is still more powerful than humankind, despite all our technology

8:41 am

agreed Guernseygirl

8:42 am

Help please: I changed my icon yesterday and although I have been in and out of the grid loads of times, no success.

8:42 am

I kept telling them not to piss her off!

8:42 am

:) Hoot

8:42 am

It has loaded on my page!

8:43 am

stit

8:43 am

Patxxx, after you changed your icon, refresh and then when you are back into your account refresh again?

8:43 am

Hi Hoot and Patxxx

8:43 am

I am seeing Betty Boop

8:45 am

Hi Boo - I only see BB when I click on icon. Otherwise just some small blobs

8:46 am

My eyes - not your picture

8:46 am

Thank you all. I did refresh and refresh but when you say go it did. My Dad had that kind of power.

8:48 am

Patxxx , are you new to babble

8:53 am

No Boobear but I rarely change my icon. I'm not new to computers either but they have been my work machine and I never had time to delve into 'how to do', nor do I understand the lingo. Well, I'm not a novice but like the car I leave the fiddly bits to the mechanic.

8:55 am

ok I was wondering and I have never seen you here before.. Glad you are here with us

Boobear, havc you changed your icon recently? i don't remember seeing this one before

8:56 am

yes I changed it the other day

i like this one. what is it?

8:57 am

Betty Boop wasn't my original choice but the others pics didn't transfer. Obviously my ineptitude Boobear and I did do as instructed.

8:57 am

ty,it is a murano glass tree

beautiful.

8:58 am

ty. I just googled trees and it came up. I like it too

8:59 am

halfway (finally) .... must get busy .... be back in a little while. {{Hugs}} to all of you. Patxxx, nice to meet you.

10:19 am

hello everybody

10:19 am

*whistles while patiently waiting for someone else to ask for the da 5/12...*

10:19 am

did you have a nice time at the party, soodle?

10:19 am

eating seriously? I only know the ae mosquito

10:19 am

Would anybody like a clue for da5/12?

10:20 am

yes, yes, haz!

10:20 am

Hiya Roobs. Yes - we had a BRILLIANT nite. An awful lot to drink - and an awful lot of 'Do you remember......'

10:20 am

yes haz!

10:20 am

*hhhmmmmm looks.. yes Haz that is one I need*

10:20 am

hello all

10:20 am

sounds like the best kind of party!

10:20 am

If so, follow Mr Quayle with a couple of vowels.

10:20 am

Hello, Dorens.

10:21 am

does that mean potato?

10:21 am

how's the air up there, Haz?

10:21 am

Paying the price, now, though. We didn't finish till 5.00am - so I am a bit dilapidated today.

10:21 am

ty haz

10:22 am

5AM! you have to be young to do that!!

10:22 am

ty

10:22 am

It's pretty clear, that's why it seems so strange to have no flying.

10:22 am

5 Am?? quelle soirée!

10:22 am

good luck all-bbl

10:22 am

Like I said - I am now paying the price. How was your birthday, Ruby?

10:22 am

You're welcome, ruru.

10:22 am

maybe it's higher than you can see, haz?

10:22 am

Bye reparteena.

10:23 am

very nice, thank you, husband was lovely about 80% of the time! lol

10:23 am

Haz, have you noticed ashy stuff on cars etc? My car is covered with the stuff, yet the skies are clear.

10:23 am

It's at about 30,000 feet and miles across the Irish sea. No ash at ground level here so far.

10:24 am

You're sure your neighbours haven't been shaking their rugs over your car?

10:24 am

nothing here, just a general haze, but not different from often

10:24 am

I think the country of Iceland should pay for a carwash for you soodle

10:24 am

LOL

10:24 am

clue for the last de 4/7

10:24 am

given you are hung-over and all that

10:24 am

still working on Mr. Quayle.....

10:24 am

Iceland has no money to pay for anything...

10:24 am

Thank you Ruru. We'll start a campaign...(tho' I don't think Iceland can afford it...

10:24 am

then ask BJork to pay for it

10:25 am

somebody said they're giving the UK ash instead of cash....

10:25 am

she can afford it..

10:25 am

de4/7 - same structure but different first vowel from periods of time of 24 hours.

10:25 am

saturday night live did a funny sketch about bjork talking to the volcano..

10:25 am

Lol

10:25 am

is it on you tube?

10:26 am

probably.. and if not give it a day or two... it was on last night

10:26 am

da5/12 - Mr Quayle plus two of the vowels used to say that you will pay somebody back money.

10:27 am

That DA 5/12 word always reminds me of Hawaii 5 O. Remember Jack Lord's catch phrase - Book 'em ****

10:27 am

ty Haz

10:27 am

me too soodle, and i didn't even watch the show

10:27 am

You're welcome, Boo.

10:27 am

the lead of my son's band died last week and evidently there's a you tube video of him, JTWright and Solstice. My son is the hefty one playing bass!

10:27 am

You're showing your age, Soodle...

10:28 am

My grandmother was only telling me about it the other day....

10:28 am

soodle was probably a little kid!

10:28 am

i will try to remember that and watch later, ruby

10:28 am

Ii still haven't seen it, but John said it's great!

10:29 am

how many de7's are there? I have two

10:29 am

There are 3, ruby.

10:29 am

don't ask me.. i've just started and have none

10:30 am

usually I give clues that everybody already has!

10:30 am

de7 pt of heavy rain and de7 peaceful agreement. What's the 3rd one?

10:30 am

well i found one, but you probably already have it

10:31 am

de7 - superlative of de4/6.

10:31 am

okay, amended... i found one and you DO already have it

10:31 am

there are two de's

10:31 am

ty haz. have three now

10:31 am

en 6 is escaping me

10:31 am

en6 forms part of the longest word, ruru.

10:32 am

ty, haz

10:32 am

The longest word in the grid, I mean.

10:32 am

ah

10:32 am

en6 - something that exists

10:32 am

*smacks forehead*

10:32 am

ty for clarification. i misunderstood that one haz

10:32 am

hi anike

10:37 am

hi owl.

10:37 am

I had better go and rescue dinner; see you later

10:37 am

hi TO!

10:37 am

news for you owl. i have rejoined the ranks of single women

10:37 am

Hello TO!

10:38 am

Bye ruby.

Oh my!

10:38 am

Bye Rubes

10:38 am

You're not having a great time of it, Dorens, are you?

10:38 am

when it rains it pours, haz

10:38 am

are congratulatins or commiserations in order, dorens? We are here for both!

10:39 am

(that's an old USA advertising slogan for salt)

10:39 am

Morton's salt!

10:39 am

honestly i'm not sure. i'm trying to find the congratulatory aspect of it, ruby. there are some good points here - not a hell of a lot though. i was sort of surprised, myself

10:40 am

It seems to be the case, Dorens. I hope things get a bit less nasty soon.

oh no; shall i read back?

10:40 am

I'm sorry if you are having a hard time....

10:40 am

it certainly changes my outlook for the future. nothing to read back (except i'

10:40 am

apparently lost my job now too

10:41 am

oh my!

10:41 am

Finished

10:41 am

I just meant about Dorens' job - I kind of keep abreast of news even if I'm not always around.

10:41 am

Well done, Mudd.

10:41 am

Oh, Dorens, so sorry to hear that.

10:41 am

i think i will change the topic now. and i'd better tell my kids (haven't yet) just in case one of them decides to play today. which is unlikely, but you never know. and they should hear this from me. it kind of affects them too

10:41 am

yay mudd

10:41 am

I'll be online in 1 1/2 hours

10:41 am

haz is the keeper of the threads of our lives....nice to know

10:42 am

ariadne, haz!

i thought the job was a done deal, at le5 until the end of the summer to see if things improve.

10:42 am

i will probably be outside in my garden bemoaning the death of my large areas of pachysandra

10:42 am

is that the right one?

10:42 am

yes, owl, it is.

10:42 am

I'm just awfully no5/14.

10:43 am

But Dorens, understandable if you want to change the topic.

10:43 am

ty and toodle-loo

10:43 am

but really, it's good to know that there's always someone to fill us in on others' news. cause we're not always on at the same time

10:43 am

no, you are warmly concerned for all of us; that's my impression. I've only been here since December and I feel like a part of this special world.

10:43 am

oh you are ruby.. you're on my list to visit the next time I'm in France

hmm i guess my plans for iceland will have to wait

10:44 am

when the wheels come off, it's wonderful to know that we can talk about it and get good advice.

10:44 am

dorens: you are officially invited!!!!

10:44 am

that's right owl... you were seriously considering that, right?

10:44 am

TO will have to wait for David Hasselhof to have a concert closer to her now..

10:44 am

guest room looks out on the garden and the lake

wha?

10:45 am

and it's very private

10:45 am

thanks ruby.... see, I just intuitively expected that. didn't know about guest room overlooking lake though, i will go book my ticket now!

10:45 am

see you later ((dorens))

10:45 am

isn't de doing a concert in Iceland.. I thought that is why you are going.

well i am SO tired of not going anywhere, doren will you pack me in your suitcase?

10:46 am

I think this isn't a good week for booking tickets. Son is try to come and is having trouble booking. June wd be better!

well yes. i want to haseeel the hoff. ;)

10:46 am

and ruru. this means the end of all my wonderful wines... gruaud larose, haut brion, beaucastel. sob, sob

10:46 am

Bye Dorens.

10:46 am

what do you mean dorens?

10:46 am

and there'll be roses!!!!!!

10:46 am

Can you not sneak a few bottles out?

10:46 am

i was not truly serious ruby... at least not about the booking now. if i have no job next year i will try for september, depending on the airports

10:47 am

oh haz, i am most deefinitely considering that! he doesn't lock his door!

10:47 am

You're saving him from his liver getting pickled. It's being helpful.

10:47 am

ruru, ken and i are no longer. I am still renting the house in sonoma for that week though, so hope to meet you. but i am losing access to the 4,000 bottle cellar

10:48 am

you have such a refreshing perspective, haz

10:48 am

oh.. that's too bad.. well in Sonoma you have access to mine

10:48 am

It's called having a twisted mind.

10:48 am

*smile*

10:48 am

(plus think about all the calories you are saving him)

10:48 am

hello

doesn't she though? be careful haz before the rabble of babble turn up at your door a la"the Guild"!

10:48 am

Truly, I'm sorry that you're going through this trauma, it can't be easy.

10:48 am

i think 3 or 4 bottles are fair

10:49 am

Hello, phaeton.

10:49 am

go through the cellar.. I will tell you which ones to take

10:49 am

no, it isn't but i think i'm somewhat in shock. and also not quite totally devastated, because although i was fond of him, we weren't really the best match.

10:49 am

need a clue for the as6, please?

itake it it was not mutual then

10:50 am

you mean i should bring my cellphone down there and call you? or take notes on all the different labels and then email you?

10:50 am

as plus shortened version of Cleopatra's fancy man.

10:50 am

10:50 am

10:51 am

ty ruru

10:51 am

and Haz :)

then if i go up for a concert sooon i will call you, if not busy perhaps will go?

10:51 am

one of the benefits is that i will hae more time for chat instead of having to rush through the grid cause i needed to spend time with him. that is a +, yes?

10:52 am

Absolutely.

10:52 am

that is one positive..

10:52 am

Was babble a problem for him?

10:52 am

maybe there is a dating service for people with large wine cellars and lots of money

10:53 am

ruru, HE's the one with the cellar and money and HE doesn't need the dating service

10:54 am

I am missing a de4/5 in the middle. Which one is it?

10:54 am

dating service for someone looking for wine cellar and money and general all around companion, now that's what i need

10:54 am

I meant a service listing nice guys with big cellars

10:54 am

Were you together long, Dorens?

10:54 am

at first he resented babble, then he came to understand it is my passion, so he accepted it

10:54 am

two years

10:54 am

2:25 pm

we're reading mountain by mountains by tracy kidder.. interesting thing is it is about paul farmer, at Harvard Med... i asked jeremy if he works with him (similar interests... global health) and jeremy forwarded an email he received from paul friday asking if jeremy would teach a course in the fall. i printed it and am bringing it to meeting. (stid isn't the ONLY proudmama)

2:25 pm

wtg boo congrats

2:26 pm

yay boobe

hoooraaay boob

i don't know him, but you are understandably proud

2:28 pm

yup. and i really ought to go read now. (having dinner tonite at Ken's daughter's house)

2:28 pm

hasta west, and congrats boo

i thought te*set would be a word.

2:29 pm

me too, guernsey

2:29 pm

that's way cool, doren

2:29 pm

everywhere but enable ...

2:29 pm

ty dc... i do much vicarious living through relatives. and hi ata

gee doren, has he told them yet?

2:31 pm

yes owl.. but heather and I have a very close relationship (she babbles sometimes) and I adore her boys. am used to seeing them every sunday evening for dinner at his house... but this time he ditched us all, so I'll go there and give them their tshirts from mexico.

2:31 pm

i saw an icon in a blog earlier, picturing a neon green drink in cocktail glass with caption of "Bond. Ionic Bond. Taken, not shared." :D LOL

2:31 pm

very scientific, dc. i know lots of people who would never understand that ;-)

have a good dinner. and do you recommend the book?

2:31 pm

lol fab

2:32 pm

outside of my mother, most i know would get it, but yes, point taken doren

2:32 pm

i enjoy all tracey kidder books, but it is kind of heavy on the sanctifying of this man (who is quite saintly actually) if you haven't read people of thebook by geraldine brooks, i recommend that first

ok. did you tell me about girl with the dragon tattoo?

2:33 pm

gosh, the dishwasher is loud today. i wonder why. May be the big correlle bowl maybe.

2:34 pm

yes, have you read it yet? first 50 - 100 pages are tough to get through, but worth it

2:34 pm

dragon tattoo is soooooooo wonderful

2:34 pm

and the next just as good, actually better in some ways

2:34 pm

always wanted a dishwasher, then got one given to me,built in and...hate it

2:35 pm

the third isnt quite as good, but still wonderful

2:35 pm

movie's coming to our arthouse theater in a couple of weeks -- looking forward to it!

no, i am regrouping to build a reading list. part of the trouble is that just found out one of my lenses was madee too weak, so i was not imagining discomfort

2:35 pm

ah!! don't know when the third is coming out in the US. very jealous

the movie is out here

2:35 pm

its out!

2:36 pm

heard the movie is great une... several who read it saw it and loved it, am planning on it soon

2:36 pm

in US, ata? really?

the lens was to be 1.75 and was misrad and made 1.25, which i imagine caused wuite a bit of eyestrain

2:36 pm

me too, doren -- NPR had a great segment about it awhile back

2:36 pm

pretty sure. I sent Dragon Tattoo over to friends in OR and he read the rest of them

2:37 pm

hmmm ok, you're right. Why on earth isn't it out yet?

i would recommend searles books, easy reading and nice plots

2:37 pm

we've had it out for ages

2:37 pm

will check it out. i read plays with fire, but haven't seen the other. then again, haven't hung around bookstores lately.

2:37 pm

i read something of his owl, don't remember, but did like it

2:37 pm

may 25th apparently

what's your icon, doren?

2:38 pm

heard it was doing fantastic black market business few months ago

hi babbler's.....wish u all a great sunday and a big firework............

2:38 pm

Larsson gets way over-complicated with politics in the 3rd one, but it's still wonderful

2:38 pm

I wish I could send you my copy, but it's already lent out :P

the two i know are boy still missing and strange but true

2:38 pm

3:09 pm

Ooh we go to Listowel quite a bit, but usually passing thru on the way to somewhere else LOL!! We go over every yearand this year we are treating ourselves to an overnight stay at Bunratty castle...without the kids!!

3:11 pm

Listowel looks far too much like Dishtowel

3:11 pm

3:11 pm

hello babble friends. taking a break from cleaning....

3:11 pm

Hello my Soodle!!!!!

3:14 pm

Not yet, but it sure will be....especially after the banquet at the castel ;-)

3:14 pm

i am happy my kids are grown

3:14 pm

3:15 pm

actually, I think either spelling is historically correct....

3:15 pm

castell is welsh

3:16 pm

okay, peeps, I need a babble nation vote -- someone is selling a canoe/kayak hybrid on craigslist, for a decent price. It's a bit more than what I was looking to spend, but it's also AMAZING and in great shape. Given that I have a) credit card debt b) lawyer's bills and c) no free money, do I go ahead and grab this, or let it go?

3:16 pm

anyone here from adelaide or the surroudning area?

3:16 pm

The kids and i will use it for YEARS to come, I am sure!!

3:17 pm

using the same parameters for myself, Trif, i pass on the deal

3:17 pm

well trif...more debt or enjoyment??

3:18 pm

how difficult would it make life for you moneywise?

3:18 pm

yes, but will I enjoy it if the debt is too big?

3:18 pm

exactly

3:18 pm

not sure ata. could spend the same money paying down credit card, or paying down lawyer bill. Also know that money IS coming in settlement, so am cash poor now, but won't be forever

3:18 pm

not worth it in the end

3:19 pm

sigh. ((( whining))) but I waaaaaant it!

3:19 pm

I HATE having to be the grownup!

3:19 pm

yeah but ou don't know when that will happen

3:20 pm

could you make him an offer you would ffel happy with>

3:20 pm

trif u know what the right choice is

3:20 pm

have visions of kicking myself later "oh, why didn't I buy that when I had the chance!"

3:20 pm

I did think of trying to talk him down.

3:21 pm

could always ask!

3:21 pm

u will be happier knowing when the bills come in, they aren;t huge

3:21 pm

then if he won't, then you know you've tried but can't do it, and if by any chance he will reduce the price, then ...

3:22 pm

phone. brb

3:22 pm

but if you dare trif...be tough with a straight face

3:22 pm

bedtime for me - night all - happy babbling!

3:22 pm

4:04 pm

hello

4:04 pm

4:04 pm

*surveys. so not school, just for interest

4:04 pm

ok

4:04 pm

te6.18 if you mean before the canvas te**, then I think you want latin end on the te5.10

4:05 pm

do you dive as well Ata?

4:05 pm

got it, thanks lyn

4:06 pm

also need the 6/18 before the 5/10 pls

4:07 pm

I didn't luckily - I was at a big party till 3am before the course, and drinking and diving doesn't go well! But apparently the diving was *awful* yesterday, so I missed nothing!

4:07 pm

fireworks, now off to play scramble

4:07 pm

congrats Peri! bye

4:08 pm

sounds like a great weekend!

4:09 pm

it really was! Friday night was a 1920s night party up in London. Far too many cocktails, much dancing, boas and feathers and fun things

4:11 pm

I'll show you some photos when I get them from the friend I went with!

4:12 pm

Oh, that is nice. Sunny here too but getting very warm in the afternoons.

4:23 pm

(not sure if that was the 3rd, not listing yet)

4:23 pm

no, they aren't of great interest for about 99.9% of people! I can't say I find them the most fascinating of things either, but I appreciate their beauty!

4:24 pm

That is it, thanks much, lynxxx.

4:25 pm

Hello all. I am giving myself 20 more min. and then bed.

he is on an insulin pump. he was diagnosed at 6 yrs old and is now 15. harder to control blood sugar of a teenager than a child

4:41 pm

hi Mich

4:41 pm

a week on \tuesday, here's hoping it will be sorted out because it's not looking good at the moment

4:41 pm

HI all. My son is in the States and he was supposed to fly to Rome today but he is stuck there.

peach i can totally understand your predicament. i don't think i could follow the regimen

4:42 pm

Oh, bless his heart. Yes, I'm sure it is diffiicule for him (and you)...I know you must worry.

since he went on the pump his a1c has been very poor, we are really working to get him back into range

4:43 pm

I will keep you and him in my prayers.

thank you, and right back at you!

4:44 pm

ty

4:47 pm

and my lap top has died so I am on hubby's notebook - can't afford the fix until we are back from the holiday we may not be going on!!

4:48 pm

what happens with fares aready paid Katie? or are they covered by insurance

4:49 pm

Back in a few.

4:49 pm

we are covered but if you aren't on a package holiday it can revert back to your insurance but a lot of them are saying that it is an act of god and not covered. That would be bad enough if you lost your money but loads of people are stuck abroad

4:49 pm

bummer katie

4:50 pm

hmmm an act of nature rather than God

4:50 pm

hi all

hi jmc

4:50 pm

No insurance as far as I can tell, lynxx, it's a natural disaster- at least for my son because he doesn't have a package. The airline is doing its best to re-route but he will be missing out on Rome and my sister. Still I am glad he got a direct flight and is avoiding Europe altogether.

4:50 pm

I'm still trying to be optimistic lol

4:50 pm

hi jmc

hello all again.

hi red

hi good.

4:51 pm

hi red

hi jmc

4:51 pm

Hope he gets home soon Mich

4:53 pm

hope everyone gets home soon

4:54 pm

*laughing as she finds the volcano*

4:54 pm

Thanks, it looks like he can get on a flight on Tuesday evening. He will be home Wednesday night. I am relieved, but he is a little disappointed and nervouse because it makes him another 3 days late for the start of his semester.

4:55 pm

i suspect he will not be the only one

4:55 pm

i'm sure they will understand Mich it's not like he has any choice

4:55 pm

why does that make you laugh katie

4:56 pm

given that we are worried sick about the holiday being cancelled because of volcanic ash

4:56 pm

well i hope it resolves itself soon

4:56 pm

You're right Katie, but he was supposed to have started Thursday!

4:57 pm

hi, folks

4:57 pm

hi welki i was thinking of you in Meeting this morning

4:57 pm

hi welki

4:58 pm

thank you, jmc .. hope i didn't interrupt

Hi Welki!

4:58 pm

no a drive by thought ;-)

4:58 pm

UK airspace closed until 7pm tomorrow now

4:59 pm

i've never been a drive-by before ... it feels, it feels .. so transient

4:59 pm

i heard there was fierce lobbying going on to reopen it

4:59 pm

they are having test flights I think there will be pressure being put on to open it all as the airlines are going to go bump soon if they don't sort it out

5:00 pm

so sorry welki it is a nice part of Meeting to me to have people go through my mind as I center

there was a thing on the news about what happens when aeroplanes get ash in the engines, not at all a pretty picture, of crash boom and flounder and go up in flames.

5:00 pm

Well, time's up. I have to get to bed. Night all!

5:00 pm

i hope they take their time. I know it's inconvenient and is costing millions, but i'd hate to think one plane could stall and crash if they don't take every single second they need to make sure it's safe to fly

5:00 pm

bye mich

gn mich, best to your son!

5:01 pm

night Mich

5:01 pm

night Mich, hope your son's rearranged travel plans work out

5:01 pm

(was joshing, jmc .. flattered that i'd enter your mind during meeting)

you all know there is the volcano in todays grid?

5:01 pm

Thanks to all of you for your caring, wonderful thoughts!

5:01 pm

hello everyone :) Just home from our opening golf scramble -- found out how out of shape I am!

5:01 pm

yep laughed a lot when I got it

taje

ooops

5:01 pm

hi C'nan

5:02 pm

i listened on the radio to a pilot who flew through ash and all his engines stopped but once he flew past it (with no engines) they came back on again

I would not like to be a passenger on that plane jmc!

5:02 pm

lucky guy .. the tiniest bit of ash can foul things up permanently

5:02 pm

this happened 10 years ago

they say that the ash can melt on and clog up aeroplane engines.

5:03 pm

red would you please type in real words when you type grid words in the chog! lol

I will work on it jmc.

Heres a clue. We did have a De**** of rain today. hard and heavy.

5:03 pm

:-)

5:04 pm

just poking my nose in for a second .... but they could fly under it ... it means they will use more fuel,but not lose as much money.

5:04 pm

ty red

5:04 pm

TY Red - mdidn't have that

5:04 pm

they are saying that our ash is finer so would be OK but still no new on reopening. BA did test flights today and said that there were no problems

5:04 pm

hi mo

5:04 pm

and hi all.

5:04 pm

and pt too!

i personally really hate to fly, so I probably would rather cancel and stay home.

5:04 pm

Hi Mo, yep I have 2 hopes either the one you have outlined or a major change in the weather

5:05 pm

there's only so much air space (believe it or not, mo) ... can't have all the planes flying at the same/near altitudes

5:05 pm

but even with limited air space it would seem they could let some of the flights happen

5:06 pm

also a great jackson browne song, red .. before the de****

5:06 pm

hehehe, jmc .. which ones? how would you choose which airline to let profit and which one not?

5:06 pm

I agree welki ,but it doesnt have to bring everything to a standstill1

5:06 pm

draw straws

5:07 pm

i think it's more complicated (or the industry has made it more complicated) than we know

jmc, in this word, I imagine the airlines owuld have to bid on it...

5:07 pm

or let each airline fly in turn the flight of their choice

5:07 pm

but the one to dubai on the 27th from Birmingham should be a clear priority

5:07 pm

that being your flight katie?

5:08 pm

oh absoltely

5:08 pm

LOL!! KATIE.

5:08 pm

be careful in dubai they had very strict rules there

5:08 pm

Oh yes jmc

5:08 pm

a friend of mine had to flee

time to make the meatloaf, bbs

5:09 pm

ae 5, please?

5:09 pm

mmmmm meatloaf

5:09 pm

hi cyber

5:09 pm

Good afternoon Babble buddies. 85 to go.

5:09 pm

5:09 pm

5:09 pm

5:09 pm

5:10 pm

bye Mo

5:10 pm

5:11 pm

I just sat in front of the TV and one of the Bourne movies is on--the 3rd, I think.

5:11 pm

bye mo

5:11 pm

Bye Mo

5:11 pm

Hi Red

but neither one of you do me any good! :-(

scrabbler! hello.

well, I am missing 69 so ...no good for anyone.

5:19 pm

Did you work today, Red?

5:19 pm

I knew I should have gone to bed. Sorry all but it's not even the word I was trying for. It's the reason I don't chat much cos I don't seem to have the ability to do the grid and the box together. I multi-task a million other ways but when I open a grid my mind is one track.

5:19 pm

help with the e singleton please

5:20 pm

64 to go for me

5:20 pm

well no one really minds patxxx so don't let it stop you from chatting!

5:20 pm

5:22 pm

hi scab

5:22 pm

then another time sat down my laptop and accidently put my foot on the key board for 10 minutes of large blank entries and people trying to decide if i had dropped dead on the keyboard

5:22 pm

TY, Lynxxx

5:23 pm

gu6 is a mustard

And we still love JMC.

5:23 pm

hi vl

5:23 pm

:-D

5:23 pm

I was here for that, jm. I feared you had lost consciousness.

5:23 pm

hi jmc

5:24 pm

ty all for the gu word

5:24 pm

Other people have done that too and their cats use the keyboard

5:24 pm

the most obvious physical result of that was my turning bright red for another 10 minutes

5:24 pm

yes, we were worried .. i figured i could locate you through 911 if necessary

5:24 pm

It was funny, jm!

5:24 pm

it is nice to be worried about

5:25 pm

Hi welki. I thought of you when I saw anglers at the 3 ponds in the nearby park on my hike.

5:25 pm

5:25 pm

5:26 pm

fishing season starts early in your neck of the woods, scrab! here, we have to wait until mid-may for ponds/lakes, until spawning is finished

5:26 pm

I need food too jmc bye all

5:26 pm

TY, vic. I had tried a word with the last 2 letters switched

5:26 pm

yw scrabbler

5:27 pm

that sounds good, red... you should come nurse me, i am not well... I promise not to spit at you, kick you, or vomit on you

5:27 pm

Hi kje

5:27 pm

What are you ill with, kje?

5:28 pm

lingering URI... cough that won't stop... I think I may develop a hernia here soon... my belly is killing me

5:28 pm

poor kje

5:28 pm

Aha, atypical pneumonia or pertussis!

5:29 pm

well, I am on day 4 of a z-pack, but may have to do a fluoro

5:29 pm

Do you have an albuterol inhaler at home?

5:29 pm

no

5:30 pm

is that a variation of, 'physician, heal thyself?"

5:30 pm

but that made me laugh

5:30 pm

that was for scrab, btw

5:30 pm

Pertussis is also known as the "100-day cough."

5:30 pm

thinking i would have an MDI at home

5:30 pm

and probably made your belly hurt more .. apologies

5:30 pm

my cabinet is not that well stocked at home

5:31 pm

I have lots of samples here--eye drops, ear drops, asthma meds, oral steroids...

5:31 pm

ty for that encouraging word scrab.....

5:31 pm

Hi Welki, I used to fish. Difficult now and dangerous for a woman alone. I would finish work, collect the kids, the tackle already in the car and as soon as I hit the river bank all my problems disappeared. It almost took over my live. I miss it.

5:31 pm

Does it feel like a bronchospastic cough?

5:32 pm

join a fishing club, pat, and limit your time to when the club meets ... there's always a way :)

5:32 pm

Help with 3rd last te6/18?

5:32 pm

2nd te 6/18, please?

5:32 pm

hmmmm.... it feels like constant fluid in the throat that triggers the cough... like all my mucus membranes are secreting like crazy.... when I do get something up, it feels like i gorked up a lung

5:32 pm

Oh, that is the same one I am looking for, Nan.

5:33 pm

Are you wheezing, kje?

5:33 pm

te6.18 te & famous London landmark - Ne*****'s Column

5:33 pm

well, time for me to unpack and get ready for the work week (been camping) ... later, folks

5:33 pm

no

5:33 pm

I don't know that famous London landmark

ok kje, I will feed you tea with whiskey. I had what you have a fewmonths ago, the cough persisted

5:33 pm

Bye welki

5:33 pm

and am taking 2 zyrtrec daily

5:34 pm

Ne**** was at Battle of Trafalgar too I think

5:34 pm

ty lynxxx -- in trafalgar square isn't it?

5:34 pm

hoping to dry anything up... but just constant secretions down there... but my nose is dry

5:34 pm

or Ne**** Mandela even

5:34 pm

kje--fever along the way? nasal sxs? SOB? cough more at day or night? cough triggered by laughing?

5:34 pm

i want to die

5:35 pm

TY for te6!

Oh no, do we need to baker act you , or whatever the tx equivalent is?

5:35 pm

I have had atypical pneumonia a lot, (usually once yearly)--starts with ST, hoarse voice, moves down into chest and you cough A LOT--it's exhausting!

5:35 pm

ae 6?

5:36 pm

I know and you're right Welki but men who fish are not exactly comfortable when they get beat by a woman! I was good but it was all down to patience and I concentrated on ledger/bottom fishing for the bigger fish, which needs oodles of patience. It paid off often. PS Not as big as your big fish or rivers here.

5:36 pm

ae & eat out

5:36 pm

more at night... especially now... did great all day, now getting bad... can't comment on laughing... can get worse if i talk and it gets too dry....no nasal sx, maybe had fever earlier, but don't think so now (no, I do not own a thermometer), started with cough... cough all along.... cough and more cough

5:36 pm

ty again

5:36 pm

throat only gets sore after bad coughing

sounds a bit like pertussis.

it felt like I had the whooping cough.

5:36 pm

*!* ta da *!* thanks for the help :)

5:37 pm

Yahoo Nan!!

5:37 pm

i had whooping cough in my early 20s... i thought of it as a deeper cough, and def had that weird sound....

5:37 pm

Congrats Nan!

5:37 pm

Kje. Terrific icon. Love it..

5:37 pm

yayayayayay nan!!!!

5:37 pm

Then, kje, you are on the right AB. It might be worth trying albuterol. Could you Rx an MDI for yourself?

5:37 pm

Kje.. mucinex not an option?

5:37 pm

ty pat, local artist

5:37 pm

mucinex sucks

5:38 pm

and am already on codeine

5:38 pm

tessalon sucks too

I looooove tessalon, mostly because for some odd reason it puts me to sleep.

5:38 pm

Mucinex, codeine and those meds do not work, you know that.

5:38 pm

Wow Kje, If he was local to me I could go bankrupt.

5:39 pm

LOL red... my colleague gave me tessalon... i took 800 one night and finally got some sleep

5:39 pm

Mucinex works for me

5:39 pm

name is daniel padillo, pat, he has a website

5:39 pm

You could take 50 mg of Benadryl before bed.

5:39 pm

it doesn't stop the cough, just makes it easier, so my illness last less time

5:39 pm

i prefer to die, scrab... i think that is the only solution....

5:40 pm

Ty Kje will look.

5:40 pm

Hi Nerky, future Board of Education President!

5:40 pm

no... BORED of education, i believe it was

5:40 pm

LOL, I don't think I even want to consider aspiring to that Scrab

err kje, you are soon to end up in a psych ward if you keep up that stream of chatting!

5:40 pm

bye everyone -- all that fresh air and exercise wore me out :)

5:40 pm

Do you want ME to call in an Rx for albuterol?

5:40 pm

I'll do my 1 year term from now till next April, and then I may be done

bye cyber!

5:41 pm

bye nan!

5:41 pm

definitely "Bored"

5:41 pm

i don't feel like RAD, scrab... but thanks anyway... i should prob get an xray soon

5:41 pm

Have you listened to your chest, kje?

5:42 pm

no wheezes... can't reach the back well for consolidation...but really, if it get sto that point, i should see a doc - LOL

5:42 pm

First ty4 please? Monkey seems to have tried everything.

5:43 pm

ty & dble vwl

5:43 pm

babblet

5:43 pm

Avoid docs whenever possible, kje, you know that.

5:43 pm

TY, I recall that word now

5:43 pm

reassuring to hear that from you Scrab :)

5:44 pm

yes, they teach us that in med school, right?

5:44 pm

I dislike + distrust docs and have chosen mine carefully. Always ask a doc for the names of their docs.

5:45 pm

are you serious Scrabbs!

5:45 pm

My doctor is moving to Oregon... very sad

5:45 pm

Yes, Lynxxx. As an "insider" I know how awful some docs are.

5:46 pm

I heard, nerky---very sad.

5:46 pm

if you want to call me in a fatal dose of MSO4, you can do that

5:46 pm

should I ask her who her doctor is?

5:47 pm

i can come back as a babble ghost

kje...hot tea with whisky.

5:47 pm

MSO4 + Versed + succinylcholine + Ativan = peaceful + quick way to cross over.

5:47 pm

i have no whisky

i think the versed and ativan are redundant.

5:47 pm

that sounds good, scrab!!! I'll take that

5:48 pm

Yes, nerky.

you have a place that delivers sushi, dont you have a place that delivers etoh?

5:48 pm

Is id8 related to id6?

meatloaf in oven, having a little pre-meal wine and gouda, ahhh

5:48 pm

wait, i do have bourban

5:48 pm

bourbon

5:48 pm

5:48 pm

scrabbler????? oh my... wheres my notepad?

5:48 pm

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

5:51 pm

And you worked today, kje?

5:51 pm

5:51 pm

no lectures please

5:51 pm

Any pts with TB recently?

5:51 pm

oh scrab, I have a clueless intern... I wantto kill him

5:51 pm

I work when I am sick too.

5:52 pm

1 tbsp honey, 3/4 glass tea, 2 shots bourbon, 1 slice lemon (optional)

5:52 pm

Still clueless in April?! Not good.

5:52 pm

and you can just use hot water instead of tea if you like

5:52 pm

OK, will let you know how it goes, nrkii

who is the MD who tells me to rest when I am sick?????

5:52 pm

and you can add whatever spices you like to flavor it up

5:52 pm

seriously, scrab... I am thinking of talking to his program director

No intern killing, but intern redirecting.....out of your field.

5:52 pm

Help with 3rd, 5th + 6th gu words please?

oh, peace broken by teenager arriving home and POed dinner not on the table *breathes, takes another sip of wine*

5:53 pm

Why hasn't anyone recognized the clueless intern?

5:53 pm

College nephew is home.

good remind teen that they are eating for free....

5:53 pm

one of his admissions, he tells me has gastroparesis and constipation... then next problem is diarrhea and he has ordered loads of tests... I said, which is it? he can't have both (unless impacted of course)

like talking to myself sometimes... you know

oh blockage.

you know where they leak around the blockage, btu...I am just a nurse...dont know as much as the intern, yes.

5:55 pm

next admission... he says lady is c/o dizziness when she turns her head, and sees black spots... says it is BPV... I ask, is this vertigo or light headed, patients use dizzy to mean all kinds of things... so when we see her... sounds like subclavian steal

5:55 pm

pb Red!

5:55 pm

every freakin admission he was off EVery ONE

Oh, rushes to try to find her PB word!

5:55 pm

makes me nervous as heck

5:56 pm

Does this intern need to repeat his internship?

oh rats, I had it. Waltzes off to the PB to shout out at Scrabbs and KJE.

5:56 pm

te**

5:56 pm

He will be supervising interns + students in just 3 mo!

5:56 pm

I think so... but having only worked with him for 3 days, I will give him a little longer... while double checking everything he does

I suppose someone could have a bad day, but....generally its just one or two pts then.

5:57 pm

we have a tiny little woman (youngish though) with advanced lung ca we are moving to hospice, and she is VERY sensitive to narcs... she is getting about 4mg via PCA daily and she stays asleep

oh no...

5:58 pm

so yesterday he gets called she is in pain, and orders 3 mg IV MSO4 push... of course,.... knocks her flat out and slows her resp rate a bit, RAT team called and pushed narcan

Did the Nurse who called not suggest something smaller? Or start out with 1?

5:58 pm

Oh, dear. He IS dangerous! Has he killed anyone yet?

3 mg is such an odd dose.

5:59 pm

so I ask him today what he learned from that.... he couldn't answer... I said, tell me again how much MSO4 she used the day before.... 3.5mg... so I asked, doyou think 3mg was maybe too much for one dose?

5:59 pm

CLUELESSSSSSSSS

He needs to do more than repeat, maybe a career as a pharmaceutical salesman.

5:59 pm

Dangerously clueless.

my attempt at peacemaking with the te** has been thwarted *takes bigger sip of wine*

6:00 pm

red - I wish the nurse had said no.... but on our wards, 3mg isn't unheard of, but yes, 2mgs is standard, and usually go up from there, her, I would have given 0.5

Uh oh, are we dominating chat? shoudl we talk abotu weather.

6:00 pm

1st gu5/16 please?

6:00 pm

sorry... will stop bitching.... just makes me want to fire him

you nurses are making me scared, next time i'm sick i think i stay home

6:00 pm

Hahaha, GE

6:00 pm

25 left.... bbl after resting eyes

If I worry I always give like part of the dose i can always give more, but I cant give less.

6:01 pm

excellent idea GE!!! never go to a hospital unles there is no other option

6:01 pm

but red... that is because you are not clueless

somedays I feel clueless.

6:01 pm

kje + I are docs and we agree, GE

I got offerred the night charge position at my new hospital 2 days ago....

sorry, no disrespect intended

6:02 pm

But you know your limits, I am sure, Red. Health care providers must know when to ask for help, look something up, etc

6:02 pm

are you going to take it? you would be awesome... you seem to have common sense!

I really do not know, I dont like that hospital. and sometimes I do not like to be as pushy as the charge has to be, to get people to you know, do their jobs.

I have not even been their 90 days, which tells you how "deep their pool is for these things.

6:03 pm

true... you would have to learn some bitchiness - LOL

I love to look stuff up.

Morning

the as?

6:04 pm

OMG, red... that IS a bad sign... you can be briiliant, but I would still think they would have others ahead of you... sounds dysfunctional

6:04 pm

Hi lady

6:05 pm

hi herin

HOw you?

6:05 pm

ok

hi herin

6:05 pm

I am missing the as too

6:06 pm

Where did nerky go? Did she make herself a hot toddy and then pass out?

6:06 pm

still here, but on phone :)

yes, indeed. I have the job offer from another hospital, and I just got an email from my old hospital telling me she is still trying to get me the infection control position.

Nerky!

6:06 pm

i think we scared her off.... she went to console herself in her book of bad diseases she keeps posting things on

hi herin

6:07 pm

OK, nerky, I was worried about you.

6:07 pm

hi everyone .... I have found the chat to be very enlightening

6:07 pm

what about the ID epi job, red?

did you get those gu words yet? i have tour leader minus the i and clever plural minus the i

6:07 pm

LOL, maybe Nerky is calling the Cleveland Clinic for a consultation.

6:07 pm

i will brb... water needs boiling

6:07 pm

Hi Mom

6:08 pm

I finished the gu words--had to do some word searches

HI MOM

It snowed again overnight and this morning but then spring returned after lunch--sunny ever since.

I went to a sand sculpture festival today, it was nice, but...it rained.

It is for me Trif. Sometimes I scare myself into action by thinking, "What if I died and my kids had to sort thru all this stuff?"

7:38 pm

god, if that happened my kids would haunt ME, not the other way around!

my humor just tends to be a bit sicker than his is all

8:47 pm

no I think ru is correct

we didn't bring it up today jmc. we'll see how school goes tomorrow. they took the crime scene tape down today so we are pretending all is normal

8:48 pm

does de 7/36 build off of the 6? doesn't seem like it...

8:48 pm

think it means on the definition of worse in this case... could have different perspective... worse as in not funny or worse as in more stinging

8:48 pm

what crime scene?

8:48 pm

well it is normal now

8:48 pm

it does leslie.. the most de4

8:48 pm

leslie it is the superlative

8:48 pm

worse as in how loud i groan when i read it

8:49 pm

8:50 pm

9:05 pm

you got in the middle of something I am guessing?

9:07 pm

ugh. my mother and my husband. Oh lord help me, I'm damn tired of being the abused middle. Hell ruru, I didn't get in the middle of anything, both just decided to get drunk on the sam night, and I said enough arguing ,eat your pizza, and both exploded at me. Mind you I cooked dinner AND ordered dinner so no one would be unhappy.

9:07 pm

yikes!

9:08 pm

sounds like a bad Dr. Phil show

9:08 pm

i'd walk out and let them stew in their own sauces. then you can serve that up to them tomorrow.

9:09 pm

lbd has it right

9:09 pm

feels like a bad dr phil show. hell if I wasn't drunk I'd drive to a hotel and let them both stew, but no one would get my babies up for school in the morning then.

9:09 pm

I would make them eat Round Table pizza for days after that one

9:10 pm

I SO wish LBD, cuz you do have it right!

9:10 pm

bummer that there are kids in the house. hope they didn't hear all that.

9:10 pm

sorry to hear about the migraine, hope it departs soon!

11:41 pm

<-- finished earlier...can help if ne4ed

11:42 pm

thanks pini

11:42 pm

well I just took another migraine pill, so should be okay by morning. I actually didn't do a lot of schoolwork today (spent an hour in the garden, and two hours with Mother at the farmer's market)

11:43 pm

t'was a gorgeous day out today, wasn't it...

11:43 pm

("doing" my hair while waiting for flip)

11:43 pm

how are you today pini? Mother and I are so excited about August... I can hardly wait. Do you have a preference for "venue" for the big group gathering? (not sure how big we'll be, ten might be the tops)

11:44 pm

it was a LOVELY day. AND I found out one of my clematis is still alive!

11:44 pm

Nothing in particular...any id5 about where we might all meet? i.e., Olympia, Seattle, Everett, etc...

11:45 pm

Olympia is what jmc has been saying... it's cheaper generally, but it's not as convenient for the Canadian contingent... though closer to you of course.

11:46 pm

I think Bugs, Flo and Jill don't mind coming all this way.

11:46 pm

I don't know anything much about Olympia except it's the state's capital...Pike Place is always fun!

11:46 pm

(I have some family in Seattle, so it's not too bad.)

11:47 pm
