I don't like microwaves. but the reason is... I use it to make hard *boiled* eggs!

1:29 am

so painless.

1:30 am

oh! that sounds like a nice solution

1:30 am

hmmmm

1:31 am

yup! can even forget about them for a bit and it's ok

1:31 am

no microwaves here

1:31 am

I've found that if I put them in from fridge, and set the timer for just about 20 minutes... perfect.

1:31 am

here either ruru

1:31 am

*gasp* how DO you survive? ruru???

1:31 am

I love my microwave

1:32 am

changes the texture of things...

1:32 am

1:32 am

1:32 am

well, down to 53, my eyes are tired, and not making progress on several blank tiles. back tomorrow to play more.

1:33 am

*poof*

1:33 am

good morning everybody

1:33 am

Gage says "finished" and it comes out "lershed'

1:33 am

I do that with a pot of water and a gizmo called Eggsact Eggtimer, which changes colour according to how well done the egg is.

1:33 am

"I lershed my egg"

1:34 am

my microwave does none of those yucky things.

1:34 am

hi ruby

1:34 am

cooking is therapy for me

1:35 am

I don't like cooking so do it the easiest possible way.

1:35 am

I've just urned sevral new wurds: wurd, lefta, lersh

1:35 am

With the least cleanup needed

1:35 am

that's the key, jilli

1:35 am

I used to be an ambitious cook but not any more!

1:36 am

wishes I could cook a few meals for jilli (Ruru cleans up afterwords too)

1:36 am

I do like my steamer.

1:36 am

I wiah you could too, ruru! And please check your email...

1:37 am

Aiden even made bao in it recently

1:37 am

but I don't have many gadgets.

1:37 am

wish i had gas stove. sigh

1:38 am

1:38 am

I remember gas stoves -- much more obedient than electrics.

1:38 am

1:39 am

although bola bola isn't a usual filling!LOL they sell them at Uwajimaya though

1:39 am

well, I don't know what bola bola pork bao is either

1:39 am

Elina likes yam bao

1:39 am

<HAS gas stove..wishes it was a viking or wolf range

1:40 am

1:40 am

1:40 am

i figured you had gas

1:40 am

hello from down under

1:41 am

Morning all. :-)

1:41 am

but vikings come with a chain for your ankle

1:41 am

yay, soodle!

1:41 am

hello grannyrose, how is yur fever?

1:41 am

We have a terrible "Chinese" restaurant here.

1:41 am

ruby, has been down for the last 4 days.

1:41 am

Hi granny and soodle

1:41 am

that is good news!

1:42 am

today i actually felt like doing some household chores

1:42 am

Wow, granny!

1:42 am

I have a big old-fashioned solid-fuel cooker/heater in the kitchen. Its great for making soups and stews and casseroled.

1:42 am

hi jillie, soodle and ruru...i know you're there

1:42 am

that is wonderful, so the AB's are kicking a**

1:43 am

yup, we now have a loo that twinkles

1:43 am

what is a solid-fuel cooker?

1:43 am

beware the twinkling loo!

1:43 am

a wood stove??

1:43 am

Its an old-fashioned range - an Aga. I burn turf and peat in it in the winter. Its messy, but throws out amazing heat.

1:44 am

i tinkle in my loo...but no twinkling...

1:44 am

bet you can make great pizza in that!

1:44 am

fireworks unaided (21 minutes)

1:44 am

was going to say tinkle * giggle *

1:44 am

WTG GREM!!!!

1:44 am

I'm out of steam -- 25 left -- goodnight all!

1:45 am

Grem You are a legend!

1:45 am

nite jilli, sleep well, hun

1:45 am

Wonderful, gremlinn!

1:45 am

I wanted a viking stove when we did this kitchen, but it was just too expensive, especially in Europe

1:45 am

ty

1:45 am

but I was still doing big-deal cooking then.....

1:45 am

gremlin is amazing

1:46 am

Soodle, my lovely new neighbours are Irish -- Northern, though

1:46 am

phantoms: parhelion and parhelia

1:46 am

anyone ever made sweet and spicy duck?

1:46 am

and floccule

1:47 am

my bathroom now has 3 walls, does that count?

1:47 am

oh yeah?? well floccule too!

1:47 am

I think you may see more Irish soon, Jilli. There seems to be a mass exodus from this country - Recession-related.

1:47 am

haha

1:47 am

I hope they move here!

1:47 am

LOL, m9

1:47 am

it does sound like F you all, doesn't it?

1:48 am

tinkling loo.. sounds like M9 has a piano bar in her bathroom

1:48 am

Soodle, these people have been living here part-time for some years.

1:48 am

anyone want to hear the saga of my new bathroom?

1:49 am

sure

1:49 am

uh sure~!

1:49 am

Wellm I'm glad they are nice, Jilly.

1:49 am

when we pulled out the old bath, we discovered that the floor ended mid-air, through that hole they had put the power cables and the plumbing

1:50 am

Was there a secret dungeon?

1:50 am

makes sense.

1:50 am

thank goodness, NO.

1:50 am

makes sense.

1:51 am

Have you ever read "And Irish Country Doctor" by Patrick Taylor? It was a best-seller and delightful. My neighbour is the author of that and a whole lot more.

1:51 am

there's a bathroom word in the grid

1:51 am

(granny's chamber of torture)

1:51 am

now we have to re-wire and plumb the whole room.well, we did anyway, but poor hubby's eyes nearly came out on stalks.

1:51 am

cr4 smells fo4?

1:51 am

Is the grid Dr. God's chamber of torture

1:51 am

*"An Irish Country Doctor", not "And..."

1:52 am

in the garage sits a brand new claw-foot slipper bath, huge shower and new handbasin, * sigh *

1:52 am

if it's not co4 it smells fo6

1:53 am

my bathroom is done as of last year

1:53 am

I haven't heard of it Jilly, but both my brother and sister are 'Irish Country Doctors', so one of them may have it. I will certainly look it up. Thank you.

1:53 am

yay ruru, did you have any probs?

1:53 am

What fun, Soodle!

1:53 am

at least the plumbing and wiring is accessible!

1:54 am

just waiting for the lights to arrive from Italy

1:54 am

Must go now -- bye all and... *poof*

1:54 am

ooohhhh!!! and i found tiles with my fave animal on them...DOLPHINS!!!!

1:54 am

snob.

1:54 am

LOL

1:54 am

*****italy******???????

1:54 am

Bye Jilli, and thanks again

1:55 am

you're not in that movie "sideways" are you??

1:55 am

yes.. we had to have "certain" lights.. ahem

1:55 am

I am v impressed, ruru!!

1:55 am

ummmm, not touching that one

1:56 am

<---- not really a home depot kind of guy

1:56 am

I did the reverse, when we were doing the house here, I bought most stuff in the US and had it shipped over!

1:56 am

and hates Jamaica! lol

1:57 am

* giggle * that figures, ruby....grass is always greener....

1:57 am

I'd settle for lights in my bathroom! The shade is stuck over the bulb, and I think TNT is needed to shift it so I can replace the bulb. Candle baths chez Soodle these days!

1:57 am

sounds romantic! lol

1:57 am

Its a pain in the a**!!!!

1:57 am

the shade is stuck?? does it have little screws?

1:58 am

oh, soodle, where i8s your romantic side gone?

1:58 am

clue for the i8?

1:59 am

islecule, a molecule of island

1:59 am

hubby was really chuffed, a week after we bought them, the price on the bath went up $300, the basin $ 200.

1:59 am

No, its a screw on shade, and I think it got put on hte wrong threads last time, and Granny, bumbling around in the dark is less than romatic, searching for all the 'little necessities' required for my ablutions!!!

1:59 am

haha, grem...

2:02 am

at least you can't see wrinkles or are you too young? just keep the lipstick off your nose!

2:02 am

at least you can't see wrinkles or are you too young? just keep the lipstick off your nose!

2:02 am

I don't think I've seen a screw on shade (globe?) before

2:02 am

at least you can't see wrinkles or are you too young? just keep the lipstick off your nose!

2:02 am

I don't think I've seen a screw on shade (globe?) before

2:02 am

I don't even want to tell you what "we" spent on our bathroom (guest bathroom at that)

2:02 am

I don't even want to tell you what "we" spent on our bathroom (guest bathroom at that)

2:02 am

at least you can't see the wrinkles, or are you too young for that, soodle? It would be a mercy for me. Just don't get lipstick on your nose

2:03 am

husband says our kitchen cost more than his first house! hah

2:03 am

(hiccup time, kids!)

2:04 am

whoops, sorry

2:04 am

booo, ruuuu

2:04 am

jilli, bed, now.

2:05 am

I once had a car that cost more than the house I was living in!

2:05 am

and the problem is, ruru?

2:05 am

no one uses it..

2:05 am

that's what you get for driving a Rolls!!!

2:05 am

it's just pretty

2:06 am

good grief, soodle.

2:06 am

I know where I'm staying when I go to CA!!!LOL

2:06 am

lol

2:06 am

yay, let's all go to ruru's

2:06 am

It was a BMW X5 jeep. And our house at the time was tiny - like a doll's house. The house cost 24,000, and the jeep cost 30,000!

2:07 am

we'll stay at Ruru's and then we can go have my sister cut our hair!LOL

2:07 am

and use the powder room! and then he can cook for us and even clean up after! and we'll bring flowers for mrs. ruru

2:07 am

where does she work m9

2:07 am

2:07 am

Ugh. I better go and get ready for work. I owe, I owe, so its off to work I go.... Have a good day, everybody {{{{all}}}}

2:10 am

{{soodle}} 9loves soodle)

2:10 am

I'd love to listen to you two argue about what to see and do in the area and where to eat!

2:10 am

even your sister would cave into my expertise

2:10 am

ha!!!

2:13 am

I don't understand how enable selects which Fr words can be used, ga6/27, for example

2:13 am

ask her where the BEST martini is in SF

2:13 am

Holy Patooties! I found 122 words in less than an hour

2:14 am

Of course I have to save my last word for later today

2:14 am

wowie, minver

2:15 am

i will do so ruru

2:15 am

*POOF*

2:15 am

ask her where the best cappuchino is in SF

2:17 am

that minver always saving the last word

2:17 am

are you SURE the movie "sideways" isn't about you??

2:17 am

ru you need to come to france for the best martini, chez moi!

2:17 am

not that self-centered and self-absorbed

2:17 am

I didn't actually see the movie, but they sure were having fun watching it at our family reunion

2:18 am

and betterr looking than paul giamatti!

2:18 am

there is a bar in SF where all real martini drinkers go .. it is mecca to a martini drinker

2:18 am

I am better looking than Paul Giamatti

2:18 am

I don't drink..so I'm clueless.

2:18 am

and taller too

2:18 am

whenever we go on holiday, I have to teach the bartenders how to make the martinis

2:19 am

short is OK

2:19 am

i bet ruby.. most people really don't know

2:19 am

ruru that isn't hard.

2:19 am

we've stayed in hotels where I made them go out and buy a bottle of Bombay gin

2:19 am

well she's the one who threw that out not me..lol

2:20 am

husband is VERY fussy about his cocktails!

2:20 am

vertically challenged ruby.. vertically challenged

2:20 am

I am definitely vertically challenged, but I think it's less of a problem for women.

2:21 am

men don't seem to mind small women....

2:22 am

2:28 am

bye granny, glad you're feeling better

2:52 am

anyone here?

2:55 am

yeah

2:57 am

morning all.

MORNIN

3:01 am

hi guys

3:15 am

ah! I had given up and was fbing

3:22 am

morning all

3:23 am

hi

3:24 am

hello

3:25 am

sprite.. I put another vid on my profile...

3:26 am

fireworks.

3:26 am

oh dear, not again :D LOL. Of course I need to see that one too. Oh m9, I called my love in yesterday to see the QI of how many moons the earth had and he loved it!

3:26 am

I watched that too! I was laughing SO much at the QI vids

3:27 am

phobias, magellen...

3:27 am

gratz on the fireworks, m9!

3:27 am

the colour purple too. Brilliant.

3:29 am

rhyming purple!?! that was wonderful

3:29 am

thanks!

3:30 am

hehehe the kid is cute

3:31 am

and such stamina!

3:31 am

that too :) The moves aren't at all childlike, are they?

3:34 am

I'm guessing his dad dances the haka or something

3:35 am

I was wondering about that. Amazing, the moves aren't childlike, but it looks so natural anyway. The kid has a wonderful time.

3:35 am

makes me wanna dance too

3:36 am

have you seen the one of the baby watching beyonce?

3:36 am

no?

3:37 am

hi guys

3:38 am

hey sandy :) *hugs* How are you today?

3:38 am

http://tinyurl.com/lq4nvg

3:39 am

we have had a very bad day, husband is ok but he had a car accident this morning , ran into the back of a car - his brakes didnt work - dont know what happened maybe they locked or something- he is very upset tho

3:40 am

fortunately insurance. licenses etc were all up to date

3:41 am

oh sandy!!!!

3:42 am

he is very depressed about it all but I pointed out that we have food and shelter and do not live in a war torn country so we can be happy - he can use my car while it is getting fixed , but he is still upset

3:42 am

glad he's ok!

3:42 am

life is hard sometimes but there are worse things, much worse

3:44 am

Wiping tears from my eyes from laughing, m9, totally brilliant. That kid has tremendous body awareness for some so young.

3:44 am

oh sandy :(

3:44 am

I like it when the little leg starts going

3:44 am

just reading back chog and seeing what you guys went through. Am so sorry.

3:45 am

yes, he really tries to imitate, it is amazing. Also when the hand comes out :)

3:45 am

isn't your husband hurt, sandy?

3:45 am

seems like babblers are having a hard time lately

3:46 am

yes, many bad things happening :( Better times for Babblers are overdue.

3:46 am

no sprite only his pride and he worries about everything so much, I wish he would be grateful for the good things

3:47 am

I was panicked over whether I had the insurance and license paid, so I was very relieved tofind I had been uncharacteristically efficient

3:48 am

but 'only' his pride can be very hard on a man, sandy. Looks like he feels responsible and is afraid something bad may come from it... like him not providing well enough for you.

3:48 am

yay! that's a relief sandy!

3:49 am

you may need a little laugh. this is one that my kids think is hilarious: http://tinyurl.com/dfumbt

3:49 am

for me it was huge! imagine if I had let that bill go unpaid, I only paid it about 10 days ago

3:50 am

hello again. {{sandy}}

3:50 am

yeah, i need to pay my water bill...

3:50 am

and my puter bill...

3:50 am

hi ruby, I have had the babblers curse on me

3:52 am

I just read back over the chog. I am so sorry, Sandy, I can imagine how your husband feels. Rear-ending another car makes you feel embarrassed, but I think it happens to everybody, at least once!

3:52 am

hi rubyfoo

3:53 am

At least nobody was hurt, but it's very hard to get some people to look on the bright side (like Sprite, the perpetual optimist, does)!

3:53 am

m9 it is cool, the vid. Very positive training!

3:53 am

Sprite, hello, and you have the best buoyant spirit! You should be "Spirit Sprite!"

3:54 am

sometimes people need to be allowed to feel rotten at first, need to allow themselves that even. If it doesn't take too long, it can be very healthy.

3:54 am

thanks ruby and sprite and m9,

3:54 am

thank you rubyfoo :) Be certain that I have my moody moments too.

3:54 am

I watched it m9 it did bring a smile

3:54 am

but you don't make everybody else feel bad.....

3:55 am

I agree sprite he will slowly rise from the depths, but I will remain cheerful

3:55 am

I used to though. Life can be a tough teacher.

3:55 am

sure can , there is no doubt

3:55 am

well, my little 4 yo is still going strong here at 2 am!!! I'm going to really try and get him to settle down.. later!

3:56 am

that is the way, sandy, don't let his depression get to you.

3:56 am

aw m9! Good luck! And sleep well, I hope.

3:56 am

night all!

3:57 am

I had a friend over for coffee this morning she stayed for 4 hours..... I really like her but I needed to do things

3:57 am

nite m9

3:57 am

oh that sounds familiar. It is very hard to tell a friend she needs to go.

3:58 am

she used to be a pony club mum, and really helped Diana a lot - she sold us a fabulous pony when she could have got triple for what we paid. She is a very caring person with lots of hard times herself

3:59 am

she is an example of never letting things get her down

3:59 am

in that case she is a friend worth losing some chore time over, I guess

3:59 am

how is your husband today, rubyfoo, and how are you?

4:01 am

sorry, I was on the phone with the pharmacy

4:01 am

Ruby, has he finished with the shots?

4:02 am

he is still dpressed but doctor is coming back today while the nurse is here, which is a good thing. I looked at the big wound yesterday, and it looked a little bit better to me. I keep telling him that he's luck, that the fact that it hurts means there is no nerve damage

4:02 am

He doesn't quite see it that way, LOL

4:02 am

lucky*

4:02 am

also that the dog bit him and not a little child

4:03 am

I think men have a problem with looking on the bright side sometimes

4:03 am

he has one more set of shots on Friday which I think is silly, but it's not my choice

4:03 am

Once all that is finished, he may start to feel better

4:03 am

hehehe I bet! It is a nasty thing to have happened to you. He will need some time to get over the shock. Maybe the doctor can explain to him the physical and neurological effects of shock - coming from a professional male, it may be easier for your husband to understand?

4:03 am

sorry, not understand, accept

4:04 am

the dog is still in custody, they're watching him for his comportment, but I think they'll have to destroy him or the women of the village will go to the people's house with their pitchforks!

4:05 am

the problem is that his communication skills are poor because of his hearing (NOT!) and I have to do all the translation

4:05 am

so coming from his doctor or not, it will be hard to get the message across

4:05 am

can he speak french?

4:06 am

do you girls know the book by the couple Pease: "Why men don't listen and women can't read maps"?

4:06 am

if the dog can be rehabilitated, I think it should be, but far away from your village, by professionals.

4:06 am

haven't read it Sprite, but believe it

4:07 am

he knows French but is too afraid of making mistakes. His vocabulary is probably triple mine which I think is another impediment. While he's looking for the "perfect" word, the conversation has passed him by

4:07 am

you should, sandy. It is an amazingly accurate and funny, scientific work about the way human brains work, and why there are differences between men and women in how the brain functions.

4:07 am

non non Ruby, that dog should be put down , it could kill next time - People's lives before the dog

4:08 am

I don't think it's possible to ever trust a dog like that. Don't forget, it was abandoned once and left at a shelter and the woman took it in as a rescue dog. How can anyone ever know what the dog went through before

4:08 am

oh dear, a perfectionist. I sympathise with him! It is so hard to settle for good enough when you drive yourself to perfection.

4:09 am

and it could have killed a child or even him, if it had gotten an artery.

4:09 am

yes, it would take an immense amount of time and effort to make relatively sure about the dog's behaviour. Once a dog has eaten human flesh, things change.

4:10 am

I am fluent but VERY far from perfect. However, I understand almost everything and the people understand me and truly appreciate my efforts. After all, we're in a little village, not exactly "downtown"

4:10 am

oh rubyfoo, and you too. Please read that book. It will make you look differently at men and women and your relation.

4:10 am

and it is FUN reading, I promise.

4:11 am

One thing I have inherently understood Sprite, is that men are wired differently from women. They live on a different planet to what we do, that is for sure

4:12 am

That dog can never never be trusted. That was a very vicious unprovoked attack

4:12 am

I'll order the book; it sounds like fun! But my husband can't (or won't) read maps; I'm always the navigator

4:13 am

did I tell you that the wife said that my husband was lying and that her husband had held onto the dog?

4:13 am

it is not as much a different planet, it is the result of tens of thousands of years of evolution, and difference in responsibilites and tasks. It is only very short (in evolutionary terms) that men and women have been able to do the same things.

4:13 am

LOL

4:14 am

rubyfoo: yes, it isn't black and white, some men and women have capacities from the 'other' side.

4:14 am

they want me to drop the charges so the dog won't be euthanized but no way! The man came to the house and said they could put him in jail for 4 months.

4:14 am

well Ruby, that would make the whole thing a lot worse if he was telling the truth, he disappeared and did not offer help and the police had to track him down

4:15 am

yes you did, and the woman is crazy. If that had been the case, and he HAD acted responsibly, you would have had his name and address from the start. So excuse my french, but BULLSHIT.

4:15 am

and they only got the woman to admit the attack AFTER they saw bloody dog prints on her steps

4:15 am

have you reported to the police that he came to your house and pressured you to drop the charges?

4:15 am

how do you say that in Dutch? hahah

4:15 am

Flauwekul!

4:15 am

no, I guess I should do that

4:16 am

They should be in MORE trouble if he is telling the truth!!

4:16 am

yes you really should, I think. It shows they are guilty as hell, for one thing, and I think it may be illegal.

4:16 am

I will e-mail the gendarme

4:16 am

true, sandy!

4:17 am

I think the mayor is coming to call today or tomorrow

4:17 am

I love this place!!!!

4:18 am

Ruby when TO told you not to speak to him, she was absolutely correct. Your words to him could be used in a court of law and twisted. Do not converse with him

4:18 am

at least it is over and done with your isolation there, rubyfoo :) People know you better now, and I really hope you will have more friends from now on.

4:18 am

I wouldn't again, that's for sure, I was taken by surprise, especially when the wife telephoned

4:19 am

it is almost impossible to be prepared for such things, rubyfoo. We learn as we go, so I think, just report it and don't feel bad you talked to them.

4:20 am

the only isolation comes from me, I think, and the fact that my friends here don't speak English and although they are kissy and all that, it is pretty formal in the end

4:21 am

That is the trouble , it is the natural thing to do to respond, next time just say it is in the hands of the law and hang up

4:21 am

this chog is more open then the communication amongst local ladies, even though I've been here 12 years

4:21 am

and only in babble since December

4:21 am

it must be hard to live in a place where they do not speak your language.

4:22 am

yes, but this is a special place, I think.

4:22 am

I can't complain as I am the one who chose it!

4:22 am

I think Babble is fabulousd

4:22 am

no need to complain, but no need to ignore the consequences either, maybe

4:23 am

I always wanted to live here and think that the villagers accept us very well and, BTW, like my husband who always greets them in the street

4:23 am

and they love my Ruby!

4:23 am

and the Tour is nearby LOL

4:23 am

and do they love you?

4:23 am

first and foremost, Sandy!

4:23 am

I bet they do

4:24 am

I hope so!

4:24 am

that is the most important thing, lol

4:24 am

How could they not!!

4:24 am

Do you have nice neighbours Sprite?

4:25 am

We have a mix, but I get on with them all.

4:25 am

They certainly telephone often and have done so since the beginning. The main problem is that we are on a very American schedule; when I am cooking, they are having coffee. When I could come over, they are cooking. Dinner is totally out, because we eat at 6, they eat at 8.

4:25 am

I have wonderful neighbours. At one side a couple with 3 grown children, who are loving, caring and always willing to help... more like parents to me than my own ever have been.

4:25 am

that is wonderful, Sprite!

4:25 am

I am very happy to hear that Sprite, and how could they not love you?

4:26 am

and on the other side a young couple with a baby and a 4 yo. Friendly, helpful, just extremely noisy, but they are worth the frustration from that.

4:26 am

I also think, given this recent mess, that it is very important to accept help when it is offered

4:26 am

it makes everybody feel better and is very welcome on my side. And I share fruit and jam whenever anybody visits

4:26 am

and the little square where we live is special, we have square parties every 5 years, just celebrated the 30 year's existance of the square. People all know eachother and get along.

4:27 am

That is very important Ruby, people like to feel that they can give support

4:27 am

wow rubyfoo, that is a wonderful insight.

4:27 am

that is lovely. Our village is a little bit spread out for that, but we certainly know everybody (and like all of them) whose houses are near to ours

4:28 am

also, think of how it makes us feel when we help, I think I get more out of that than the person I help

4:28 am

my husband, for example, sees accepting help as weakness

4:28 am

but maybe that's another "male" thing!

4:28 am

Once again, a male thing

4:28 am

read the book, read the book, read the book!

4:29 am

LOL :D

4:29 am

and if you both visit me this week, I will share warm tomatoes from my garden and wonderful, big blackberries!!!!

4:29 am

SNAP!

4:29 am

I'd love to, rubyfoo. It is quite a drive though, for me, lol.

4:30 am

One day, I will be visiting Ruby, so make sure that the blackberries are in season(quite a drive for me)

4:30 am

I know, but you both know that you would be welcome!!! That's what is important

4:30 am

and Sprite , I will be seeing you one day too

4:30 am

hahahaha sandy, you cannot drive, you will have to swim.

4:30 am

I'll make sure that I have at least one jar of each kind of jam set aside with Sandy's name on it!

4:31 am

I really want to, sandy. I want to so much!

4:31 am

I think that it will happen! You see, another optimistic woman

4:31 am

if women weren't brave and optimistic, the human race would have died out a long time ago

4:31 am

We will be going to Europe in the next few years so be prepared for a lunch together

4:32 am

that is true, rubyfoo, that that is the important thing. I don't see some of my friends much. But with some, I can really feel we often think of eachother, and so do they, and it doesn't matter we don't get to see eachother. We feel connected anyway.

4:32 am

and if men (generalising now) weren't reckless and fearless and protective, women would have disappeared a long time ago.

4:33 am

that is very true, Sprite, and the Internet has been a great help. I have actually made old friends closer with this tool and since I retired. That helps, too

4:33 am

oh wonderful sandy. I am prepared. Will do what I can to make that meeting happen.

4:33 am

yes, internet is a splendid thing.

4:33 am

Sprite, if we disappeared so would they , we need eachother

FIREWORKS

4:33 am

gratz sandra

does anyone need clues before i go

4:34 am

and we have a lovely guestroom and bath on the same floor as my studio and the garden

4:34 am

not for me, thank you sandra, but thanks for the offer.

4:34 am

well done there Sandra, I have 53 left and Sprite and ruby are stopping me from getting there

4:34 am

yes, please, for the right-hand e

4:34 am

yes sandy, we need eachother, and though we are not equal, we are of equal value :)

4:34 am

*whacks sandy's hands away from the keyboard*

4:34 am

Ruby, I would not impose , but I would think of staying at a guesthouse or something

or el..

4:35 am

it would not be an imposition! And that goes for you, too, Sprite

4:35 am

But if you ever came here, and our house was built, I would insist you stayed with us

4:35 am

hehehe nice cl** :)

or el.. =4-4

4:36 am

don't get it....

4:36 am

4:38 am

but I have to go bbl , love chatting with you

4:39 am

{{{big hugs sandy!!!}}}

4:39 am

LOL Sprite

4:39 am

hahah

4:40 am

making lunch now {{sprite}} this was a lovely koffee klatsch!!

4:40 am

it sure was. Bye rubyfoo, all the best :)

morning, I think this must be an easier grid, as I have gotten to half in less than one hour.

4:42 am

hi red :) Yes it is relatively friendly. A bit unflexible around the P, for me anyway.

yes, i only have haf the p so far. its 77 degrees where, I am getting a chill!

4:44 am

*throws a nice, soft blanket over red's shoulders*

Awwww thanks, its a good chill, but accepts blanket anyway!

4:45 am

:D It will come in handy one day, for certain sure ;)

How is terra and the restof the family?

4:46 am

terra is having the time of his life. My husband has taught him to sit in a basket on the steer of the bicycle. He goes everywhere and gets to explore new places, new smells, everywhere they go.

Sounds like husband is also having the time of his life!!!!!

4:47 am

my love has his holiday now, so lots of time for fun things. We went to the woods yesterday, I even walked a little bit. Delightful. Kids are fine, enjoying the school holidays, sleeping in, going out to stay with my sister, doing camps, etc.

4:48 am

oh yes, my husband, who was strongly opposed to getting a dog and agreed finally only on the condition he wouldn't be bothered with it, is the most besotted of the whole family :)

Of course that is often the way things work... and perfectly too!

4:50 am

yes it is so lovely to see. I am going to put up a load of pictures on Flickr again, so you will be able to see for yourself soon. They are cute together :D

Oh, I must now go enjoy the cold weather running....still feeling sleepy so hopefully will get a lot done before I awaken.

4:51 am

of course it helps that Terra is such a sweetie.

4:51 am

ok, enough about me, lol. Red, how are you?

4:52 am

fireflies !

4:54 am

red, have a great run, and *hugs*

5:32 am

sprite, is it hard to put things on flickr

5:32 am

bye the way, I am back , all jobs done or underway

5:32 am

well done sprite

5:33 am

am I all alone?

pounce

5:35 am

lol hi herin

I could have done my usually

5:36 am

Herin, is it hard to put things on Flickr

No but i don't find it secure

5:36 am

I might try

I use it for fluff pics not pesonal pics

5:36 am

I dont care who sees my photos, they would be quite respectable

You can use your yahoo account

5:37 am

Herin, that is a foreign language to me (computer illiterate)

I mean I don't use it for personal stuff as I have got a really creepy comment before.

Do you have a Yahoo email account?

5:37 am

no I dont

Ok you shouldn't have too much help

trouble

5:38 am

I will work it out , I have never tried - but keep in mind I cant even put messages or pics on facebook ..

5:39 am

working out the icon thing was a major step forward in my life LOL

bless you

5:40 am

Husband had a car accident today (he is fine) ran into the back of someone , his brakes locked or something and he skidded a couple of car lenths

5:40 am

lengths

5:40 am

he is really upset about it , (you know what men are like) and he will have to use mine for a while

O gees

5:41 am

luckily (I panicked for a mo) the insurance, licenses etc, are all paid up

I am watching Rescue Special Ops talk about giving me the irrites

5:42 am

what is that?

On Channel 9. I watch it because it is usually good today it is stupid.

5:43 am

ah, I guess we always watch what we have recorded on foxtell

5:44 am

we can zoom through the ads

There is some key things that make me go der ovbious

Can't afford Fox tell

5:45 am

neither can we at the moment, but we are .......

Just have to suck it up for us

5:45 am

hello again. Lunch is over and I just made myself an after-lunch drink of smushed blackberries, sugar and a little bit of vodka

Hi Ruby

5:47 am

just what i need Ruby- I made icecream with strawberries soaked in strawberry liquer last night, it was so yummy

5:47 am

We dont eat lunch here , just nibble during the day, not good for the metabolism tho

5:49 am

I eat a big breakfast, a so-so lunch and very small dinner. Husband eats a bigger lunch and dinner and not enough breakfast. But since we all (dogs, too) eat differently, I don't care

5:49 am

sounds healthy

Ok I am going to go play games

5:49 am

The blackberries are phenomenal that way. Fruit is wonderful in France in the summer, so it's the only time I eat it (bad Nel)

loves

5:50 am

my art teacher has lost weight by eating his dinner in the morning and his breakfast at night

5:51 am

Ruby, I was lurking earlier on and I see that you are an artist

5:51 am

I spoke with my son yesterday and where he lives, in Austin, the "locavore" food movement is very big and there are lots of local farmers who bring their produce to town. His wife is a (rabid, if you'll pardon the expression) vegetarian, so they eat wonderful stuff at home. My slightly chub son eats his burgers when he's out or with his band

5:52 am

and I was just going to ask you, what kind of art lessons are you taking?

5:53 am

Next year, I'll have my own strawberries, Sandy, so keep that in mind!

5:53 am

LOL , my Diana is a vegetarian but I think it is unhealthy for her but she has been since she was 10 years old, I have not been able to change her but she does eat fish and cheese and eggs etc

5:53 am

I am doing drawing at the moment but I want to paint, I have done a couple of paintings which I like and a few more which I hate

5:54 am

his wife started when she was a child, too; she came from a very large (7 kids) poor Irish family and I think had terrible food at home. She is too extreme, though, doesn't eat fish or eggs, so she's always been anaemic

5:54 am

and she is slightly chub

5:54 am

so is John's wife which I find very funny

5:55 am

I think they fill up on bread and cheese and are never quite satisfied, so they nibble

5:55 am

I know a lot of people who went that route who have recently changed back and say they feel so much better, I dont think it suits women, they need some meat

5:56 am

I believe everything in moderation except wine

5:56 am

I majored in Fine Arts in college with a minor in Art History and then got an MA in Fine Arts and was an elementary art teacher for my first career.

5:57 am

I'm lucky about food. I get very specific cravings, like for eggs, which I never ignore, and basically eat whatever I want.

5:57 am

Wow , you have more than one career? My daughter Rebecca is a good artist

5:58 am

I eat what I want, my thing is that if i dont do exercise i put on weight, so the farm helps (but not as much as i would like)

5:58 am

However, I have the advantage of having grown up in a candy store and having had all the candy and ice cream and sweet soft drinks I wanted, so now don't much care about sweets. A litre of ice cream lasts 2 months in the freezer

5:58 am

I believe in not suffering and I love food

5:58 am

In what medium does she work?

5:59 am

I love food, but mostly when others cook it. I used to be a serious cook, but it's too much trouble since B likes his stuff one way, dogs eat another way and it's hard to bother about what I eat.

5:59 am

she has done some great ceramic work and alsosome pieces where she has used a lot of funny sorts or materials which she sticks onto the canvas or whatever, she is the architect

6:00 am

I have a bad back and what they say is "Every lb. on your body is 10 on your spine!"

6:00 am

Does she have any photos in FB or in her e-mail?

6:01 am

You are quite small tho , I think - she doesnt she is not that serious

6:01 am

I would love to see her stuff

6:01 am

she has photos of herself LOL

6:01 am

I would love to see your stuff, you are obviously a serious artist

6:02 am

I am very short and weigh less than 100. When I was in college, I was a little taller but very muscular (ran track and danced) and weighed about 120!

6:03 am

I will try to e-mail you some photos of drawings that I have in my TOO VAST photo file. I am a terrible pack rat and have a computer filled with stuff. If I ever lose my files, my life will disappear!

6:04 am

I will also send you some more photos but only know how to send one at a time (duh)

6:04 am

I don't do anything any more except for one set of drawings of quince which I gave to John and which are in facebook.

6:04 am

Would you like flowers and house and dogs, too?

6:05 am

in drawings?

6:05 am

hmm, am I your friend on facebook?

6:06 am

Tell me the truth, do you think I am a bad person letting my husband drive alone to Geneva to his dentist tomorrow? He has been 4 times in the past month and I find the trip exhausting, but if you say I should go, I will listen to you.....

6:06 am

no, in photos

6:06 am

Ok, the most important thing is - does he want you to go?

6:07 am

yes, I love all photos

6:07 am

I have most of my photos in a form for e-mail but my son put the quince in my FB wall. I don't think we're FB friends

6:07 am

no, he wants to go alone as a way of showing that he's OK

6:08 am

can you send me a request, I dont go on facebook much as I prefer emails but will go and look at photos

6:08 am

my FB name is Nancy Kelley but I think there are 100's of others with the same name

6:08 am

If he feels confident to go, I think you should let him as long as you feel he will be ok- if not make sure his insurance is up to date

6:09 am

should I use your e-mail address for that? I never invite anybody...you are not the only computer illiterate. Perhaps we should same computer illiterati!!!

6:09 am

hahah

6:09 am

say, not same*

6:09 am

I think so , dont ask me , I dont know how to send a request LOL

6:09 am

please count me in the computer illiterati club

6:09 am

I'll try it and we'll see what happens

6:10 am

I think I am the only one on this site!

6:10 am

hi annie

6:10 am

hi sandy

6:11 am

I cant even change my icon, how pitiful is that

6:11 am

hello annie! illiterati it is, then. It's funny because my son is a data base administrator, whatever that means, trained by Oracle.

6:11 am

Neither can I. It's embarrassing. And people keep explaining how to do it. Son's wife was here and changed my icon in 5 minutes

6:11 am

hi ruby..

6:12 am

All I can is type fast

6:12 am

can do*

6:12 am

I didn't say accurately, lol

6:12 am

ruby, inquity sent me the instructions how to get on Babble Expert and I couldnt do it. when my daughter was here she did it in 5 minutes. I stood there in frustration.

6:13 am

Ruby and Annie , do you have babble expert?

6:13 am

is it worth the trouble, do you think?

6:13 am

I do.

6:13 am

Ruby it is fablulous, and really worth having

6:13 am

I don't, but I don't even list as I never bothered to figure it out and decided that what I get, I get

6:14 am

do you still have the email Annie?

6:14 am

ruby, you have the clues on the side of the grid which you can hide and have them when you want them

6:14 am

I think I do

6:14 am

Is it safe to put my e-mail address in my profile? I am always reluctant

6:15 am

How about you forward it to Ruby, I dont have it anymore, I am sure she would love it

6:15 am

Annie you could send it to me and I could forward it to Ruby

6:15 am

OK, putting address into my profile (hahah)

6:16 am

ruby, if you want babble expert, give my your address (afs2820@gmail.com and I will send it to you

6:16 am

sandy, right now I am on babble if I want to go to AOL where I think I still have the instructions I have to close expert and open AOL, am I correct?

6:17 am

I just put my address in my profile

6:17 am

okay, ruby, will send it to you in a bit..have to close expert, I think.

6:18 am

I wrote down yur address Annie, thank you.

6:18 am

Annie all I can say is LOL - I always open another thing to do anything else, that is all I can say

6:18 am

Every time I try to do anything but play, I have to go all the way out and back. I am really dumb at computers!

6:19 am

I diminish expert and open another window in IE or Mozilla

6:19 am

I've loved the chat, but only have 68 words. I'm sending a note to Annie and will send you some photos later, Sandy.

6:19 am

{{to you both}}

6:19 am

okay I am offf to AOL...same here dumb annie at computers, not anything else

6:19 am

Ruby, I love chatting too

6:20 am

7:01 am

Mom, glad you had a nice evening with Whitney.

7:01 am

spark of electricity past tense

7:02 am

it was a wonderful time.

7:02 am

Mom, she is going to be a great daughter in law!

7:02 am

Alex, our youngest came over also but I didn't get to spend much time with him. :(

7:02 am

she is a lovely person, inside and out

7:03 am

Mom, he is the one that is going to all the Reds game and getting paid for it. lucky Alex.

7:03 am

He is so thrilled

7:03 am

It is a blessing when your dil or sil is wonderful.

7:04 am

it is a blessing for sure. SIL in not, which is a shame

7:05 am

that is a shame.

7:06 am

it is, but you can only beat the dead horse so long. As my sweetie tells me, it is what it is

7:06 am

Did you have a good day yesterday?

7:06 am

Mom, smart sweetie

7:06 am

the smartest

7:07 am

Mom, yes I did...we went to the Brooklyn Museum

7:07 am

that sounds like a great time

7:07 am

Mom, yes it is and we had a great lunch in their cafeteria.

7:08 am

how many children do you have Annie, I think (if memory serves me correctly) a son and a daughter?

7:09 am

Mom, I have a daughter who is 42, she has 2 sons. My son is 44. He has Down Syndrome and he still lives with me. Bobby is a great human being and is accepted by all my friends. I take him all over. He works.

7:10 am

Well, I dont take him all over but you get the picture.

7:10 am

oh Annie, you have a wonderful family

7:10 am

I get the picture

7:11 am

(((Mom))) LOL

7:11 am

What type of work does Bobby do?

7:12 am

Mom, He works in a sheltered workshop and he takes the city bus back and forth from work. It is only one bus so it is easy for him.

7:12 am

Our grocery stores employ a great many people with Down's, they are all a lively bunch.

7:13 am

Bobby has had the opportunity to work in supermarkets but he prefers to stay in the workshop.

7:14 am

that is so wonderful Annie. When I was growing up, they tended to put the Down's children in institutions. I could never imagine giving one of mine up.

7:14 am

Well he should stay where he is happiest

7:15 am

Mom, I was told to do that but I couldnt and I am so happy I didnt. Yes, Bobby is polite and always in good humor.

7:15 am

ok...coffee in hand

7:15 am

oh..another little grid :)

7:15 am

don't spill Carlee :)

7:15 am

another TOUGH little grid

7:15 am

Mom, Sometimes in the morning Bobby will come over to the computer and find words.

7:16 am

yes, it is tough

7:16 am

oh Annie, how neat

7:16 am

good for him...

7:16 am

Mom, I was also told he would never walk..but he won the 50 yard dash in the Special Olympics. Stupid doctor.

7:17 am

very stupid. Never underestimate a child with determination

7:17 am

congrats to Bobby

7:17 am

I agree.

he is so lucky to have Jellen stand by him..

10:28 am

that is sometimes how it un7,48.

10:28 am

:(

10:30 am

jellen my heart goes out to you.

oh Jellen, I was just praying for you and TIm this morning, around 6 am....

10:31 am

he is no longer suffering and now jellen must suffer this terrible loss in her life

10:32 am

It just seems so unfair....

10:34 am

..i have no words..they fail me,but i now pray that tim is beyond pain and with the lord,and that jellen who steadfastly stood beside him in health and sickness and now death find peace with her self and know that tim is whole once again and that she can live a full life till it is time to join him once again.he is now immortal and her love will keep him so...(crossy says a prayer for tim and jellen)

10:34 am

People face that kind of loss everywhere...life is not fair

indeed Phaeton. Still, very saddening, and I wish there was more to do to help Jellen.

10:36 am

Me too...prayer is the best thing we can do

10:37 am

Amen

10:38 am

Gotta go...

10:43 am

indeed it is, ruby :/

10:44 am

as a community, we are here for jellen, and, hopefully, can offer her our support and prayers!

Yes ruby, it is good that she feels she can come here for support, from people that mostly she hasn't even met.

10:45 am

i can hope she will read all this later and she can find my prayer at 10;34 and all of our prayers and that we ease her mind just a bit

10:45 am

but there's something special here; we've chose to be friends

10:46 am

indeed, sally. it's gonna be a hard, hard time for her for a while.

10:46 am

chosen*

10:46 am

11:49 am

I think so, Peri

have been lurking and following Tim's progress -- just read the last entry in her profile . . . I don't know what to say . . . truly a sad day . . .

11:53 am

very much so

11:54 am

sad indeed,she rocked our whole community here when she came on around 10 am:/..was so fast...

11:56 am

Afternoon, all. Une's post just prompted me to read Jellen's last entry. Heart breaking. I guess Tim didn't want to be bothered with that nursing home.

11:56 am

oh no, I just looked back in the chat log :( how terrible..

11:56 am

home with the ones you love is always best

11:56 am

hello, Judi :)

11:57 am

Hiya, NB.

11:57 am

I propose we all change our icons to lighted candles.

11:57 am

judi you picked the same flowers I did

11:58 am

I'm for that, Judi. I didn't actually know why everyone had changed their icons into flowers before it was too late..

11:58 am

Oh, jeech, wildcat! I didn't even notice. Copycat!

11:59 am

i tried my best with a small prayer for her and tim at 10:34..but sometimes words fail at times like this

12:00 pm

i had mine first ...

12:00 pm

here are some candle icons,a tad animated but i will look for more http://www.dewittindustries.com/cgibin /ibrowse/images/free/misc%20festive%20 candle%20icons.htm

12:01 pm

have update my icon to a lighted candle.

12:02 pm

Nice idea Judi.

12:03 pm

yep, as have I. First time in a long time I can come here without seeing my own face!

12:03 pm

there are some nice ones here... http://photobucket.com/images/candle/

12:04 pm

changed mine

12:08 pm

so, we finally have another meeting this week with the pastor performing our ceremony. getting things all ironed out, i hope!

12:09 pm

There. I've uploaded my candle.

12:09 pm

testing...

12:09 pm

mmm

12:09 pm

that's good, Eva! ooh, how was the cake tasting, too?

12:09 pm

lol nb

12:10 pm

cake tastings went well! we really like one of the places we tried yesterday, and *fingers crossed* it sounds like they may be within our budget, so yay!

12:11 pm

The stars will shine a bit brighter tonight

12:11 pm

i will pick a different one nb,so we are not twins

12:12 pm

ohhh, I didn't realise you had the same one! Everyone just wants to be like me ;)

12:12 pm

I like the idea of Crossy and NB being twins

12:12 pm

testing...

12:12 pm

although it would have been a long delivery process :)

12:13 pm

lol,26 years tween first and last

12:13 pm

that would be one tired momma

12:14 pm

Good to hear it, Eva! I was thinking about you yesterday - my flatmate was giving me a much-needed head massage, and I was hoping you were feeling as indulged as I was ;)

12:14 pm

off I go, just wanted to change my icon. It is for Annie as well, she is having trouble changing her icon

12:15 pm

See ya,Mom!

12:15 pm

LOL Mom! I'm sure Crossy would have objected to sharing a womb with me, I tend to stretch out when I'm asleep.

12:15 pm

ooh, i think you may have been even more indulged that i! though i also thought of you when we passed a posse of young asian boys at the sushi place in our neighborhood. ;)

12:15 pm

oh no, but he would have been born first, then you would have it all to yourself

12:15 pm

bye bye Judi

12:16 pm

ok,think i have found a nice one

12:16 pm

tell me about it, Eva. he's a masseuse!

12:17 pm

Good choice of flat mates, NB! Hope he doesn't send you his bill at the end of the month.

12:17 pm

wait, is this the same flatmate who was lifting weights in front of you and kissed you on the forehead before running off into the shower? *dreamy*

12:18 pm

oooooh nancy!

12:19 pm

he draws like that AND he's a masseuse?? what else can mr. wonderful do?

12:20 pm

Sounds like cabana boy material to me.

12:20 pm

Well Wild, we were together briefly - a few years ago - so I have it on good authority that he can do LOTS of things, but this chat is rated PG, so...;)

12:21 pm

anything is cabana boy material to judi

12:21 pm

I'm turning red ...

12:21 pm

wife and i had a moment yesterday,shee was going on about how she was going to get a mole removed from her jawline this year and i honestly had no idea what she was talking about for a minute.then i finally saw it and said "i am sorry dear,for the past 20 years,i have only saw you and not the mole,so i missed it at first"...i got breakfast made for me after that:))

12:22 pm

and lol Eva, yes, the same one ;) I have difficulty believing it too..

12:24 pm

bonjour! bonsoir! bon bons!!!

12:25 pm

Well, I'd like to think we've set the bar higher than "anything", ruru.

12:25 pm

rofl cross, you smooth talker you!

12:25 pm

12:25 pm

Hiya, Stiddy!

12:26 pm

12:26 pm

12:26 pm

and LOL, Judi...what exactly is the criteria, then?

12:26 pm

hey wild! hey Nancy Boy! are you EATING properly???

12:26 pm

Stid, we've all changed our icons to lit candles. In memory of Jellen's husband, Tim.

12:27 pm

hello again

12:27 pm

hi ruby

12:27 pm

thanks Judi, I hadn't heard. DAMN.

12:28 pm

Yes. Tim passed at 9:05 this a.m.

12:28 pm

yup. that sums it up

12:29 pm

Damned are the circumstances, but blessed be his soul.

12:30 pm

yes, we are all sad, especially for jellen, who has been so brave through this

12:30 pm

i'm back. Hello

12:30 pm

amen, judi!

12:30 pm

hey seain

12:31 pm

hi, stid

12:31 pm

brb, Mother needs to change her icon too.

12:31 pm

wildcat: do you know the Victory Grill? John is playing there with a blues singer named Orange Jefferson.....

12:32 pm

Have any of yall heard of The Clockwork Dolls? They're a Neo-Victorian themed electronic band

12:32 pm

no but I could find it ... thats great!

12:33 pm

I think it's an open mike on Mondays, but I'm not sure. Nothing official yet

12:33 pm

lol,so many new music styles..neo-victorian??

12:34 pm

Neo-victorian?? Whassat? People with piercings and tatoos playing harpsichords?

12:34 pm

my boy plays rock and roll and traditional blues and Orange (!!) needed a guitarist

12:34 pm

http://www.myspace.com/theclockworkdol ls is their myspace

12:34 pm

is this something I should recommend to the scary steampunk people that live next door? we invited them to the housewarming because it was going to be noisy, and they just kind of stood in a corner nodding and doing keg-stands

12:35 pm

Judi, Steampunk, basically

12:35 pm

he's a real Texas blues man

12:35 pm

yes, NB

12:35 pm

Icon changed to honor Tim. Needed help from Stidmama but so sorry Jellen is going through this and Tim now watching from above.

12:35 pm

keg stands? *confused mama look* like crowding around the free booze?

12:36 pm

they are wonderful...any girl who can go out wearing a brass monocle and a pocket watch is alright in my book.

12:36 pm

hi all. any clues out there? dont see any.

12:36 pm

well done Mother! :-D

12:36 pm

hey mkg

12:36 pm

hello mkg

12:36 pm

there is a past tense and a person who does cl4 mkg...

12:36 pm

i have an opportunity to audition to be their new violinist.

12:37 pm

ill get you stated mkg..en 6 and 7= a venus fly trap en***** the fly

12:37 pm

oh seain! that would be SO COOL!!!

12:37 pm

it's messy Stid, is what it is. difficult to describe though, youtube might hold the answers ;)

12:37 pm

wonderful, seain!

12:37 pm

So sorry to hear about Tim. Be strong Jellen everyone is praying for you.

12:37 pm

Oh Seain, that's great! Would you go for it?

12:37 pm

i thinking on it. I don't need to decide immediately.

12:37 pm

I don't even know what the hell "steampunk" is.

12:38 pm

messy I could handle. what's the ewww factor?

12:38 pm

I'm in the baroque and classical style or early 1900s jazz.

12:38 pm

I'm too old! I knew punk the first time around: Sid Vicious, B52's, X

12:38 pm

anachronistic Victorian emphasizing the Vic-era tech and combining it with modern electronics and touches.

12:39 pm

best i can figure,steampunk is victorian industrial age wear

12:39 pm

I do dig the blues though.

12:39 pm

when my son was young, I took him to see Taj Mahal

12:39 pm

and raised him on rock and roll

12:39 pm

helo, where can I find a candle for an icon?

12:40 pm

ar5 -- like what one does with mouthwash

12:40 pm

Damn, I just got the bad news about Tim. I wish I could change my icon to a candle but i can't do it. I have been trying for two days.

12:40 pm

kind of a cross between Victorian-era fashion and futuristic elements, I guess, Judi. I dunno, but looks like fun anyway.

12:40 pm

oh seain... I WISH you could have seen the stidkid's performances this weekend.

12:40 pm

you sound like me, Annie

12:40 pm

very sad, Annie

12:40 pm

ty for your instructions

12:40 pm

www.google.com/images for pics. Just save or copy. Must be a jpg.

12:41 pm

ok

12:41 pm

ok

12:41 pm

brb

12:41 pm

oh ruby, i just cant do it..i know you feel like I do

12:41 pm

Annie, it's okay.

12:41 pm

Well Stid, basically, you do a handstand over a keg (friends usually hold you up) and, in that position, glug down as much beer as you can. So...messy, but funny to watch.

12:41 pm

sounds, um. juvenile. *shrug*

12:41 pm

thanks for letting me know, Nancy Boy!

12:41 pm

* I just know Stid is going to think that's a choking hazard *

12:42 pm

what was that song "Helpless, hopeless and falling...."

12:42 pm

okay, heading out to visit more with Mother. (((hugs all)))

12:42 pm

Judi, I get jpeg and I cant get the picture onto "save image"

12:42 pm

i'll get out there one of these times, stid :)

12:42 pm

{{stidmama}}

12:42 pm

*POOF* (just for Nancy Boy, with a swish today...) *wink*

12:42 pm

12:42 pm

Hugs back atcha, Stid.

12:42 pm

well, we're a juvenile bunch...

12:42 pm

be well stid et stidgmere

12:43 pm

crossy probably knows the rest of the lyrics -- isn't it stephen stills?

12:43 pm

Annie: click on it to open it. Then save the pic to a file on your computer. Then do the browse/upload thing on your Babble account.

12:44 pm

Stephen Stills!! *gagging*

12:44 pm

Judi, I did that but I never get to see the pic I picked.

12:44 pm

bad judi!

12:44 pm

I think I am going to let it be. I am sure Jellen knows how we all feel.

12:45 pm

please keep in mind, I remained the epitome of class, with my champagne bottle and bendy straw.

12:45 pm

Annie - I have had the same issue although the others can usually see my new icon, I still see the old one.

12:45 pm

hhello again

12:45 pm

12:47 pm

ahhh, does anyone here remember the days before fireworks when, whenever we finished the grid, we jumped into a jacuzzi filled with champers?

12:47 pm

I remember Eva

12:48 pm

I remember those days, very vaguely, but I was too young to drink it then ;) not that it stopped me, but this is a dignified place (hah) and I was even worse at holding my drink then than I am now.

12:48 pm

lovely candle crossy, and good choice of music JUDI

12:49 pm

no, I meant, Judi, look at crossy's music!!!

12:49 pm

12:56 pm

later annie

12:56 pm

we all feel that way, lexo! The kinship feeling seems real

12:56 pm

{{everybody}}

12:56 pm

My heart has rooms that sigh with dust and ashes in the hearth. They must be cleaned and blown away by daylights break. But i cannot essay the task, For even dust to me is dear; For dust and ashes still recall, My love was here. I know not how to say farewell, when farewell is the word that stays alone for me to say or will be heard. But I cannot speak out that word, or ever let my loved one go. How can I bear it that these rooms are so empty so? I sit among the dust and hope that dust will cover me. I stir the ashes in the hearth, thou cold they be. I cannot bear to close the door, to seal my loneliness away while dust and ashes yet remain of my Loves day.

12:56 pm

now that I have an actual icon, I'm not so embarrassed to chat! I feel like I almost know many of you ;)

12:57 pm

*pokes nose back in* hello lex ((hugs))

12:57 pm

wow, cross. where did that come from!!!

12:57 pm

how beautiful, crossy

12:57 pm

Glad you are able to spend some time with us with or without chatting.

12:57 pm

babble is funny that way. i remember at first, i saw these babblers chatting and wondered why they did that... i just wanted to play the game... yeet now they are a major part of my life (what does that say about me?)

12:58 pm

*sniff* crossy, you are a champ!

12:58 pm

btw cross, I thought of you last night when I was eating supper -- we had fresh chard from the garden and a bacon-balsamic vinaigrette...

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

12:58 pm

*crossy bringing tears to my eyes*

12:59 pm

awww;))

12:59 pm

I'm quite a chatter at my other online obsession (wordsplay.net), but here I've been relegated to the shadowlands... just too computer ignorant to figure out how to get a blasted icon!... until now, that is....

12:59 pm

*resolutely NOT crying*

12:59 pm

;)

12:59 pm

going away to spend some of my eyeball time with a physical book. Thought I would try reading again this week and see if I am able to sustain long enough to actually study.

1:06 pm

My heart just dropped like a stone in my chest when I checked on her profile right now.

1:41 pm

sould of seen it when she came in and told us,nobody was ready for the suddennes of it

1:41 pm

It happened so quickly.

1:42 pm

we all thought it would be a slow wind down over a few months in palative care...

1:42 pm

exactly

1:43 pm

what is the link to her profile?

1:43 pm

Tim's not suffering but I'm so worried about Jellen. She's been so strong through all of this

1:43 pm

and he had the same as one of my 3 cancers that i was lucky to beat.was shocking and close to home even though i did not really know him

1:43 pm

http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini .php?id=34258

1:44 pm

1:59 pm

it was the only way to stop feeling helpless, and to let others help too.

Ok I know it is gauche, but can I say I am very excited. I have a friend of mine who is overweight, just committed to running a half marathon with me in March.

2:01 pm

((feathers))

2:01 pm

thats good motivation for them, red!

2:01 pm

that's awesome red!

Feather, you did a wonderfully nice thing that allowed others to help as well...

And the Prize is a Vera bradley Bag for everyone! I am a little excited.

2:02 pm

nice prize!

It's definitely different, I hope the 2 ladies stick with it and we can all have a good time.

and I do wish the 43 words I need would pop out.

I wish I could send Jellen a casserole. She is so thin, I hope she is eating something.

2:10 pm

red, we could send her soup: http://www.grandmaschickensoup.com/

2:13 pm

morning everyone, just logged in, do I read right, that Tim has gone?

2:14 pm

yes Tim is gone

2:14 pm

as of this morning daykaat

2:14 pm

oh how sad for Jellen

2:14 pm

I just changed my icon for them

Eva that is a good idea. I like it alot.

2:17 pm

we've got 247 again, this is after sending 450 to her. i could certainly do the soup thing if you like.

2:18 pm

maybe some soup and the "chicken soup for the grieving soul" book?

Wonders if she would like it.

2:18 pm

thats a lovely idea

2:18 pm

I bet she would ...

2:18 pm

feather - did we raise that much money?

2:18 pm

I'm so glad you sent the flowers when you did

2:18 pm

not sure about the book... couldn't send them in the same order.

2:19 pm

yeah. holy cow, eh?

I think she owuld appreciate it.

2:21 pm

I second that

2:21 pm

so fast, too

3:56 pm

{{ hugs }} to Tea, and everyone, especially dear jellen.

Jellen was such a help when my father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer last month.

3:56 pm

carlee, I'm in South Africa

3:56 pm

We have at least two others from SA

3:56 pm

3:57 pm

I understand, Tea. I just got back Sunday from my last visit with my brother, who has cancer too. I say 'last' because it most likely will be.

3:57 pm

ahh..hello there...

3:57 pm

dc, I've met one :)

3:58 pm

cool, kaytee

3:58 pm

Hi carlee. I'll be headed to BC next weekend. It's beautiful up your way.

that is an interesting statement kaytee. I have not been to South Africa, but luckily, not all of the South Africans I have met have formed my opinion of South Africans in general.

3:58 pm

ahh..hello there... TaeN..my father was just diagnosed with the same....but low down..not in the throat

3:58 pm

ahh..hello there... TaeN..my father was just diagnosed with the same....but low down..not in the throat

dad's is right at the cardis - where the stomach and esophagus meet. he started radiation and chemo about a week and a half ago and is having a lot of trouble with it.

how is your father doing carlee?

4:00 pm

redturtle, apologies

that should say cardia.

No problem.

4:01 pm

Carlee, my positive thoughts go out to you and Tea too. My bro has been through chemo and 2 bouts of radiation at this point. His type is a rare form of neuroendocrine (rare in itself).

Tea, that is a terrible place to have radiation. just so tender.

4:01 pm

it is a horrible disease no matter where it begins and i wish all well who are in battle with it now

he is really having issues with eating and his back has been bothering him. he is headed for a feeding tube, we think, soon

6:35 pm

hums innocently

6:36 pm

come on peeps, talk!

6:41 pm

yep! today. haven't done much more than set it up and load a few apps. the nice thing about me is that i stole the upgrade from his phone.

6:42 pm

As feather has heard me say, I have to wait for the iPhone to leave AT&T, so I live vicariously

6:42 pm

no, just so she won't see to click on my icon. i figure she's not going to randomly click on me without me saying something

6:42 pm

LOL--exactly, Doresn!

6:43 pm

7:19 pm

I do not want you to post your address so I used the name on your flikr account as a guess featherbee.

7:20 pm

A five-year lurker. How did we not draw SK in? I can't lurk for 5 minutes.

7:20 pm

7:20 pm

one year was all I could manage

7:20 pm

LOL Krista!

7:21 pm

I lurked for a couple of years, LOL

7:21 pm

7:21 pm

Hi Good Enough

7:21 pm

Thank you featherbee. Did you see my post at 7:19?

7:21 pm

I just noticed we are neighbors, SK! I'm in Hagerstown.

7:21 pm

yeah, that's lost in cyberspace, lol

7:21 pm

the next morning I joined, been here 5 years

7:21 pm

I pro'd within a month--not as fast as you, feather. But i didn't chog.

hi mom. haven't bumped into you in a while

7:21 pm

I waited to become pro, but I started chatting right away.

7:22 pm

I have been trying to cut back so I am not usually here in the evening

7:22 pm

I think chj might have drawn me into chog...

7:22 pm

Hi Good Enough! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

7:22 pm

min, i'm working on getting my iphone email set up. i suppose i could just use the computer's email, but this is a good way for me to learn. i'm having issues with the roadrunner account, so can receive but not send (so far).

7:23 pm

Same here, Mom.

7:23 pm

I can eat up days with babble

7:24 pm

iPhone! Congrats! I still have email issues with mine, hate to say. But I love it anyway.

7:24 pm

just got it today! stalked the ups tracking number, went into the store before they even called me, lol. glad i did, i beat the rush. while i was there, they called the other people who had phones in, and then the store was crowded.

7:24 pm

So if I send you an email, you can't send a reply back?

7:25 pm

i can, lol. i'm just trying to fix my phone. is it urgent, or can it wait 15-20 minutes?

7:25 pm

No, not urgent. I will resend the mail later on tonight

7:25 pm

Just look out for a message from Minveryork. Thanks

7:25 pm

ok. i'll reply before i go to bed, for sure. one way or another!

7:25 pm

going to go play with it for a bit, bbl

7:26 pm

bye bye Featherbee

7:26 pm

7:26 pm

Later, feather

7:26 pm

Mom - he's not so new anymore. He just turned 2 on Friday. Krista- I'm in walkersville - we're practically neighbors! And I turned pro after my first week of playing!

7:29 pm

Min, on your flickr pictures, is that you in the top right?

7:29 pm

Don't want to give out her name as she is Babble shy.

7:30 pm

that is okay, was just curious.

7:30 pm

But if she decides to the enter chog,I'll let you know.

7:30 pm

Hello Min's sister in law :-)

7:30 pm

7:31 pm

7:31 pm

7:31 pm

your husband is quite the looker as well

7:32 pm

I am camera shy, so took FOREVER for me to get the nerve to post a picture of me. I was scared I'd clear chog. Not the prettiest gal on the block, but thanks!

7:33 pm

you are still a newlywed judging from the date on the picture, not even 5 years yet

7:33 pm

Believe me,I definitely do not look like that everyday

7:34 pm

Well Min, it is what is on the inside that counts and it shines outward

7:35 pm

I felt married to him even before we were married. I knew him for many years prior. Had long engagement

7:35 pm

that is really neat Min

7:36 pm

Thanks Mom. Funny we should be talking about this.I wrote about our wedding day in the story for today.

7:36 pm

7:44 pm

bye bye Jillibus, have fun

7:44 pm

So not true, ruru! Not about wine, anyway. Or usually! Someone suggested the 90+ cabernet sauvignon... we shall see....

7:45 pm

you bought a $90 cab?

7:45 pm

Yes, ruru...Tim's mom and bro are with me, and I've had lots of phone calls and a few visitors...

7:45 pm

LOL, no, it's 90+ cellars...

7:46 pm

that's good jellen..what a sad day.

7:46 pm

I don't think i'd spend $90 unless I had a very good reason...

7:46 pm

I am glad you are not alone, jellen

7:46 pm

Jellen, does Tim's mom and brother live close to you?

7:46 pm

you should write something jellen.. it would be cathartic

7:47 pm

me neither pam..I like value

7:47 pm

ruru: http://www.ninetypluscellars.com /

7:47 pm

No, Mom...They live in SE Missouri...

7:47 pm

oh Jellen, I hope once they go home you will have family near you

7:47 pm

Good idea ruru...I will try to write some tonight...

7:48 pm

Value seems to work wine-wise.

7:48 pm

Yes, I agree with ruru, jellen....

7:48 pm

I have many wonderful family members and friends...

7:48 pm

lean on them for all they are worth right now jellen

7:48 pm

good, I wouldn't want you to be all alone

7:49 pm

Jellen, my dear, kadresa and I are here together right now, and we send out our heartfelt symapathies to you....

7:50 pm

Jellen - so, so sorry about Tim. Praying for you

7:57 pm

Jellen, I too offer my deepest sympathy. May you find peace and comfort in your support system and your memories.

9:59 pm

oh, poor mr. nef. *sigh* and poor you. I am grumpy when I hurt, too. my poor tom puts up with me patiently.

10:00 pm

10:00 pm

oh... grumpy husbands... no fun!

10:00 pm

i had to get my hubby's doctor to convince him to take pain meds

10:00 pm

10:00 pm

10:01 pm
