12:57 am

an 7= mental pain

1:17 am

good to know west

recipe for spotted dick on the way....

Spotted Dick ------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- ----- 2 oz plain flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 teaspoon mixed spice pinch of salt 2 oz shredded suet 1 oz white or brown sugar 4 oz currants 2 oz fresh breadcrumbs 1 egg, beaten 4-5 tbsp milk Butter a 1.5 pint pudding basin. Sift the flour, baking powder, spice and salt into a mixing bowl and mix in the suet, sugar, fruit and bread- crumbs. Stir in the egg and sufficient milk to produce a soft consistency that drops off the spoon in 5 seconds. Turn the mixture into the pudding basin, which should be two-thirds full. Cover with greased foil or a snap-on lid (the plastic container from a 2 lb Christmas pudding is worth saving for this purpose.) Steam for 2 to 2.5 hours. When cooked, remove the cover and allow the pudding to shrink slightly, then cover the basin with a hot serving plate, hold it firmly and invert. Lift off the basin to leave the pudding on the plate. Serve hot with custard.

Custard ------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- ----- 3 egg yolks 1 tbsp caster sugar 1/2 pint milk 1/4 tsp vanilla essence Whisk the yolks and sugar together in a bowl. Heat the milk in a saucepan until it is nearly boiling. Whisk the hot milk gradually into the egg mixture. Put the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir the mixture over the indirect heat until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. (Direct heat will make the custard curdle.) Stir in the vanilla essence and more sugar, according to taste. Strain and serve hot.

1:18 am

there are prescriptions for that dee

lol

what is suet, please?

1:18 am

pig intestine I think?

thot we fed that to birds

1:19 am

no, it's fat

1:19 am

oh

1:19 am

yes Dee, suet cakes filled with bird seed

Substitute lard for the suet

Suet is beef lard

1:20 am

suet yourself I guess

1:20 am

getting suet and tripe confused eh?

dictionary.com def the hard fatty tissue about the loins and kidneys of beef, sheep, etc., used in cooking or processed to yield tallow.

yes flosey, exactly!

1:20 am

oh that's not pig intestine though..

1:20 am

ru, have you ever eaten mince pie?

1:21 am

no.. but I have minced words

ty helen... doesn't sound too bad with regular lard

1:21 am

mince meat that we eat isn't made with the same stuff as traditional

1:21 am

you have??

1:21 am

it's usually served around Christmas time

I'd forgotten it applied to mutton fat, too - so little mutton eaten in North America

1:21 am

I make my own and substitute butter

I like lamb, but do not care for mutton

1:22 am

mutton is too gamey

It's got to be better wtih butter!

make your own what flosey?

1:22 am

yup, sure is

definitely, ru

1:22 am

recipe copied boy does that sound like a lot of work

1:22 am

mincemeat Dee

do you make traditional or the one without meat?

1:22 am

I"ll bet it's worth it

not so bad, if you bought the custard...

1:23 am

I don't use meat in it, that would be the traditional, I think

I don't care for custard (unless it is frozen like ice cream)

1:23 am

Hey, ruru, do you know what chittlins are?

what is in yours flosey?

1:23 am

My grandmother did make it with meat

1:23 am

pork rinds?

my brother loves chittlins

1:24 am

raisins, currants, peel, sugar, butter, chopped apple, rum, hmmm have I forgotten anything

1:25 am

How many words today please

sounds good

134

1:25 am

Thanks

list is in grem's profile gran

1:25 am

Well, I'm not really sure...I saw them once....there is something called The Chlittin Strutt in South Carolina (held each year). It is intestines of some kind.

1:25 am

your minced meat sounds like my mother's flosey

1:25 am

I'm getting hungry

1:26 am

not sure spotted dick would be the first thing I would reach for

dictionary.com says it is swine intestines...

1:26 am

spices, of course, I use to make it in a crock but now cook it and preserve it in sealers

1:27 am

Thanks, Dee.

1:27 am

my husband's grandmother used to make it with venison

interesting history here: http://whatscookingamerica.net/History /ChitlinsHistory.htm

1:27 am

not finding other ar5

1:28 am

didn't care for it

1:28 am

chitlins are big in oklahoma

I spelled them incorrectly... chitlins, formal name chitterlings

I don't like any kind of animal innards LOL

funny fact at that site: By mid-century there were several active chitterling eating clubs - Royal Order of Chitlin Eaters of Nashville, Tennessee and the Happy Chitlin Eaters of Raleigh, North Carolina. There is even a song on chitlins called Chitlin Cookin' Time in Cheatham County: There's a quiet and peaceful county in the state of Tennessee You will find it in the book they call geography Not famous for its farming, its mines, or its stills But they know there's chitlin cookin' in them Cheatham County hills When it's chitlin cookin' time in Cheatham County I'll be courtin' in them Cheatham County hills And I'll pick a Cheatham County chitlin cooker I've a longin' that the chitlins will fill

2:15 am

Granny goes to some meetings there - mainly MotoGP and Island Classic but I don't know about this one. The other meeting we will be there for is a round of the Aust, Superbike Champs together with the V8's ( our premier car race series)

jellen will call shady again this AM, and contact authorities if jellen sees fit.

I think I should go back and read the chog form last evening to see whats going on

8:05 am

shdybr8 last evening, and also around 4PM chog time

8:05 am

not unlike with zooz the other day

thanks DC, knowing the time will help

8:06 am

I have just read it,DC. thats the second such episode in as many days.... how very distressing for all concerned.

8:06 am

indeed. both have had very recent traumatic events, and apparently histories of depression, so i think just an unfortunate coincedence

8:07 am

morning friends. what is WITH the chog these days? so many people in such distress!!!

8:07 am

sucky economy, hard life situations, and not all minds are equal chemically :/

8:07 am

and poor jellen--- how can these people not understand, that she just lost someone who fought for his life to the very, very end. and yet they would throw away what he would gladly trade for?

8:08 am

and jellen reaching out so much to shady at this time, too

8:08 am

please, don't think I don't understand how desperate depression is...

8:08 am

she's really a wonderful person

8:08 am

I know! poor jellen! and how amazing she is!!!

8:09 am

I agree. Jellen has been wonderful.

8:09 am

off topic, but -- as a PROUD Bostonian, I can attest that "pissa{ is absolutely a valid word. ahem.

8:09 am

as long as society remains focused on consumption rather than quality of life, it's hard for anyone to enjoy a good quality of life... and as long as the rich and powerful think of and protect only themselves, others will suffer.

8:10 am

well said, and i agree hurshy

8:11 am

hello all

8:11 am

8:17 am

Thanks Trif. I got both of them from your clues.

8:17 am

de rien soodle!

8:17 am

*sigh*

8:17 am

breakfast, bbs

8:18 am

Well, i'm off to brunch. Catch yall later :) Happy Babbling!

8:18 am

yummy!

8:18 am

I am still quite shaken by the angst among Babblers at the moment. Its quite upsetting.

8:19 am

it is soods

8:19 am

feel the same, life is hard

8:19 am

for those in sorrow I mena

8:19 am

mean

8:20 am

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:20 am

and for those without lickety

8:21 am

hi Haz how goes your recovery?

8:21 am

it is, but I must admit, the very idea of suicide makes me angry as all hell. its a selfish, selfish act that leaves so much sorrow in it's wake. a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

8:21 am

Swimmingly, thanks.

8:22 am

I think it is the ultimate selfish act, but we cannot understand , I guess , if we haven't been in that position

8:22 am

Haz!!! (Minus the Gall-Bladder). I heard about your op. I am absolutely delighted to hear you are doing well. {{Haz}}

8:22 am

i do try to understand, and god know I have felt despair, but never so much that I would throw sorrow in the face of those I love

8:22 am

Hello, Soodle - I'm feeling really well, so I'm pleased and thankful.

8:23 am

I cling to life like a limpet , I want to live forever, I dont understand how people could not value life

8:23 am

But Trif, bear in mind that people aren't thinking straight when they do what they do. They aren't being rational.

8:23 am

I work in the Coroners Service here. Every working day, I receive phone calls from people bereaved by suicide. If only the deceased could have seen the total and utter devastation caused by their actions, I think they would rethink.

8:23 am

"like a limpet".....LOLOLOL

8:23 am

many times, i think, people simply are so caught up in their own pain that they don't realize they are likely to hurt others by suicide. sometimes they even believe their loved ones will genuinely be better off if they are gone.

8:24 am

That is the problem, they dont have that reaoning power when they are so down

8:24 am

Yes, i agree haz. and soodel, and hurshy. you are all right.

8:25 am

Absolutely. A young doctor here took her own life, convinced that her work was useless, that she had no friends. The church was full to overflowing with her friends and family, devastated that they hadn't been able to help. Her work wasn't useless, she had many friends, she just couldn't see it.

8:25 am

so tragic and what a terrible waste

8:26 am

You're right, it was a tragedy. Her life hadn't been without pain or hardship etc, but she hadn't cried out for help until it was too late.

8:27 am

it makes ME angry how friends will show up to a funeral but not make the effort to keep up with a person who's living, and who they perhaps even know has depression.

8:27 am

As someone who has lost people I love to suicide, I understand the anger and sense of betrayal the living have toward people who decide to end lives that have become little more than synonyms for pain. It's natural. But what is left when that anger dies but empathy? What other response can there be to imagine pain so profound that the sufferer finds only death an escape from it?

8:27 am

oooh, that reminds me - if you see anyone who asks you if I am a surgeon, say "yes!" I wore one of my dad's scrub shirts out yesterday, and primo and i ended up at a yard sale, unexpectedly. I had no cash on me, but the guy let me write a check "since I was a doctor, and surely good for the money"....tee hee!

8:28 am

In this case, these were friends who were closely involved with her life, but she had masked her problems very cleverly.

8:29 am

I dread my phone ringing in work. I know that at the other end of it is going to be somebody so bewildered, so hurt, so utterly grief-stricken, that often they are beyond words. I understand what you are saying Melissamay, but, when you have to deal with the immediate consequences of a suicide, its hard to make sense of it.

8:29 am

Haz, that is one thing about Babble, at least it is a forum where people like Zooz for instance can vent and maybe it saved his life

8:29 am

I often wonder how many suicides never meant to go thru with it, only to signal they needed help, only to succeed a bit too well

8:30 am

I agree sandy. I really do

8:30 am

not too many, i think, trif, since i believe a large proportion of attempts are unsuccessful.

8:30 am

well, wishful thinking on my part, i guess....

8:30 am

Trif you are a hero

8:31 am

no more so than the other who also acted to help, sandy, but thanks.

8:31 am

I know that well. That's why it's important to be honest about the powerful feelings and pain a survivor is left with. Thanks for helping people in that place with your work, Soodlebaum.

8:32 am

on a positive note, please do take a moment to check out my new icon. it seems appropriate for this moment. my daughter and her friend are the arms in the photo, and it was their idea....

8:33 am

Oh, I often put the phone down and wonder did I do any good at all. Its very much a 'play-it-by-ear job....try to guage the situation and do my best.

8:33 am

Soodle, sometimes people just need to have some kindness.

8:34 am

Trif I see a green heart with no arms

8:34 am

sandy, the arms are making the shadow heart

8:34 am

You're there. That's what's important. At some point I decided when a friend was in real trouble it didn't matter that I didn't know what to say or do, a presence is what really matters at the heart.

8:34 am

as the famous line goes "goodness is its own reward"

8:34 am

there is a girl on each side of the heart, holding her arms up to the other, to make the heart

8:35 am

I see it now, how lovely

8:35 am

Sometimes just a kind voice is enough to help someone lost in the dark find their way home. :)

8:36 am

indeed it is, I always say -if you cant say anything nice , then say nothing at all

8:36 am

Oh Trif, that is really lovely. And so appropriate today!! :-)

8:36 am

oh dear - it just started to pour, and according to reports will do so for three or four days. Our country fair just started on friday, so this is NOT good news

8:36 am

Kindness is easy to give

8:37 am

And now, I must go. Dublin is playing in the semi-final of the All-Ireland Football Competition, and they need my support from the comfort of a high stool in my local hostelry!!

8:38 am

fun, soodle! tip one back for me!

8:38 am

My gosh I have 31 words left and I just don't know if they're going to come. Take care and have a good day/night everyone.

8:38 am

Bye, Soodle, enjoy!

8:38 am

Ihave 6 and I hate everyone of them

8:38 am

I have 66, and it feels more like 666

8:39 am

good morning all! I have 35 left, and Trif I LOVE your icon!!!!

8:39 am

9:07 am

oh boy.. hulu has a new episode of Glee on!

9:07 am

hi herin!

How you?

9:08 am

new?

9:08 am

Hello, herin.

9:08 am

New to me.

9:08 am

I just started watching it on Hulu this year

hello all!

9:08 am

ooohhh...cute show

9:08 am

I'm watching first season

9:08 am

they do a REALLY good job with the music!

9:08 am

Hello, TO!

Hello To

hi haz, how's it going today?

9:09 am

Fine, thanks. I'm feeling really well, no painkillers since Friday.

thats great Haz

wow. a benefit of doin it before it gets too far along.

9:11 am

Yes, I'm delighted to be feeling almost back to normal. Keyhole is the way forward.

if you did not have private insurance, would they have made you wait until it was bad?

9:13 am

No, I'd have been put on a list to see a consultant, then another list for surgery - however, if had become an emergency, it would have been done straight away.

9:13 am

I wouldn't want to risk that degree of pain!

more than that. my gran self doctored for years. when she finally went she had pancreatitis and a bad outcome. i'll never forget that.

9:14 am

That's the risk - it can become a major problem.

i know it is horribky painful, i don't see how anyone could do that

9:15 am

What are you up to today, TO, apart from babble?

seems not much...have been cleaning. little by little trying to declutter.

9:18 am

Leave plenty of time for the grid - it's not the friendliest. Decluttering is much easier when it's not your own stuff.

well i hate to admit it but i started last night and need 39

9:19 am

With any other grid I'd say you were on the home straight. With this one - not sure what to say!

well i just got my first word from first column g...

9:20 am

that's as far as I've gotten with that g!

yes, i fear the rest will be a gi5 pain

haz, did you be any chance read last night's log?

9:22 am

I did - it was frightening all over again.

9:22 am

You mean about shdy, I take it?

i could not go to bed.

9:24 am

I'm glad people were able to talk to her, it seemed even more brutal than before.

i did not read anything past when someoen called her.

9:25 am

good morning everyone;) i see we get to fly the aussie airlines;)

Crossssssie

9:26 am

I think they were going to call again later to check that things were better. It's absolutely not what we expected when we signed up to find words, is it? it shows the power of the internet.

it's a little intense to deal with suicidality on a webgame though...

i'd better fly my self out of here so I won'tmiss greg mortensen's interview,hhm, maybe already too late

need to get the paper, it's beem over a month

9:27 am

See you later, TO.

9:27 am

I'm done with the g's if anyone needs help there.

does anyone have llof the q words?

9:27 am

3/5

9:27 am

I do

9:28 am

babble is unique in that way.there seems to be more of....a connection with others

9:28 am

Yes, TO, I do.

9:28 am

do you mean you want help with the 3 g5's?? champ?

9:29 am

I have 2 left. If you feel the urge to clue...?

i have the qua4 that usually precede mire; qua5/16 mod designer mary; and qua5/16 liquid measure

9:29 am

Add a vowel to the end of Miniskirt Mary.

9:29 am

Then add first two letters of Queen's daughter to the liquid measurement.

gee, i tried the aussie airline but who knew?

9:29 am

Ooohhh...very helpful.

tyvm

9:30 am

and the last qu is word before with 2 more letters

9:30 am

You're welcome, TO.

i guess i am staying since the program just began

note to self must be a full moon week

i have been wondering how mortensen's program to build schools in afghanistan is faring with the war and the killing of aide workers

sorry, aid workers

9:31 am

I think it is...noticed how bright it was last night. ty for the clues...got 'em!

9:32 am

Just what I need for the first week back to school. Kids gone TOMORROW! Oh happy day!

shall i find that staples commercial on you tube for you champ? ;D

9:33 am

i send mine off today for a week at summer camp then back to school!!!

9:33 am

happy dance!

9:33 am

crossy does the snoopy happy dance....

9:34 am

common champ,do the snoopy happy dance with me!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPIIMbG 9R4w

9:34 am

doing it!

9:35 am

http://www.nhlcyberfamily.org/special/ happydance.htm

9:36 am

you can also use these as icons

9:36 am

TO...I love that commercial! Kids do not...

9:36 am

that staples ad made me SO sad!!! I almost feel sick to my stomach.

haz, do schools have lots of summer vacation in you area?

9:37 am

I do feel kind of sick

what's up with that?

9:37 am

Yes, about eight weeks. Most will have the whole of July and August off. In England, they tend to wait until the middle of July before they finish.

*yawn* good morning all!

there is a push for year round school here. hi smooth

9:38 am

hi smooth.

9:39 am

howdy smooth

9:39 am

year round requires a lot of planning, but oh, would I love it!

How's everyone doing this foggy, muggy sunday morning? Errr... at least it's foggy, muggy, and morning where I am. :)

9:40 am

People are expected to take their annual summer holidays during July and August, how would that work if it were year round and you had children disappearing for two to three weeks at a time?

never happen. fullshcool year now is about 180 days here beg right after labor day and some not ending until nearly july 4\

9:40 am

that's the problem...it would require a total re-do of how people do things. but do you think vacationing might be easier if you weren't there with EVERYONE?

with all of the time off in between it

9:40 am

I'm very depressed. The talk about being so happy to have one's children gone for most of their lives is really making me want to cry.

9:41 am

oh crap. I AM crying. dang it!

9:41 am

we are in tourist area here so if you want to work,you work june,july and aug,many take sept off or just have to wait till x-mass break

9:41 am

ok. I gotta get off here.

9:41 am

only a bit during the day. not locking them in prison or anything! and there's a lot to be said for not losing everything they learned over a long break.

9:41 am

*poof*

oh geeze. see you all later

9:42 am

Don't forget that with the weather the way it is over here, if people don't holiday abroad, then the summer months are the best. Okay, in theory, at least!

9:42 am

what just happened?

i am finding another game. seriously.

I'm not entirely certain, Champ.

9:42 am

cannot wait to get my kid back in school for the year,,maybe he will remember how to write his name again lol

9:42 am

nor am i

lol crossy

9:43 am

m9 radically homeschools/unschools and doesn't like others sending their children to school. I think.

9:43 am

that''s my point! but is there a backstory I'm missing with m9? certainly didn't mean to offend..

TO... you know you can't leave. it's just too damn hard to stay away ;)

lol cross. hi SP

"Pissa" is a word in Boston!

i believe m9 home schools here children

9:43 am

ahh like a large pepperoni pisssa

hey infernal

9:43 am

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...that makes sense...

waves

smooth: that may have been true in the past, but had no problem on vacation at all

9:44 am

dear goodness...that's doesn't sound good crossy!

9:44 am

what? the pissa or my kid not knowing his name after all that time off? lol

9:44 am

watching meet the press and v. annoyed at politicians who don't answer the questions

no it doesn't. i hate pepperoni! ;)

9:44 am

it's as if he says "raising taxes" enough, then that's enough of an answer

watching face the nation for greg mortensen's interview - "three cups of tea" author

That party was really "pissa"

9:46 am

oh!! a pisser! lol

9:46 am

as in "he is a real piss cutter"

Big phantom Magna Carta

Oh-oh- PB for me.

if anyone interested, it is now in cbs, i know babblers recommended that book to me

Ok who made the Qu words up

9:47 am

"some weird aussie arline herin lol!"

9:48 am

hehe

Hey I resemble that remark :P

9:48 am

crossy is bad

meh

9:50 am

now i may of missed all the turmoil,but do not tell me m9 was really bent out of shape cause we could not wait to get our kids back in school,simply cause she has the time and resources to home school..or did i miss something else?..i should have a tea in me before coming in here lol

is haz still here?

9:50 am

I am.

crossy it appears that is the case.

M9 if you are out there have a hug.

9:50 am

lol!

make that a long island iced tea

a double for me

9:51 am

here you get inspecfted up the wazooo if you want to home school.your house is no longer your own

Some people like their kids out in the world being taught by teachers and some like them to be taught at home and there is nothing wrong with that. I think Crossy has one teenage boy that is heading into the gnawing on the furniture stage

9:51 am

oh TO,i can make you the worlds best LOIT

you're on

9:52 am

ok here is crossy secret recipie....

no recipe just hand me the finished product

9:52 am

Another babble contest. We're currently running one to work out Australia's perfect housewife. Any takers for the World's best LOIT maker. In the red corner, crossy....

9:53 am

Yes, less theory, crossy, more of the real deal.

I am ok in the Housewife stakes if it doesn't involve ironing and vacuuming

9:53 am

1/2 oz each off gin,rum,vodka and tripple sec in a tall frosted glass,3/4 fill with pink lemonade,top with splash of coke,shaved ice,and garnish with mint sprig

i.2 gallon?

9:53 am

1/2 ounce

9:53 am

lol

9:54 am

herin, you can't call yourself as a contestant if you're not up to sandyloo and lynxxx's standards.

They Iron and vacuum?

9:54 am

bbl all...time for church. if m9 comes back, I'm sorry for whatever happened!

see ya champ

ta ta Champ

9:55 am

Absolutely, I think they only just manage to put down their irons and vacuums to do babble.

i am so bad i can't find my stock of medicine, i have no idea where else to look. perhaps i took the last but i don't know

you mean they are more fanatical than even you? ;)

bugger that. I vacuum because I have to and I get someone to iron shirts or I just don't wear things that need ironing

9:55 am

i think we buy wash and wear only,last i saw the iron,it was being used as a door stop

(Someone is usually the b.f or the dry cleaner for the special shirts)

9:56 am

Fanatical? Moi?

9:56 am

haz,do you iron tea towels?

9:57 am

Yes.

9:57 am

my MIL does/

There is a fully functioning iron in the house I just hate using it so I don't

9:57 am

lol!

ooh- interesting commentary by bob shiefer tellin how not only knowledge but also ignorance travels at the speed of light on the net

9:57 am

Tea towels are lovely when they're ironed.

my firned swear by that spray that takes out wrinkles and look at me as if i have two heads when i mention ironing

9:57 am

why let everyone think you are a fool,when you can go on the net and remove all doubt in mere seconds?

9:57 am

As a child, I was allowed to practise ironing on hankies and tea towels.

I used to iron my work shirts. Once a month dry cleaned and properly pressed. Himself wears t=shirts for work

yes and i love ironing flat rectangular or square things. if it has sleeves or legs i'm in trouble.

Crossie I have to take one foot out of my mouth to put the other one in at all times

9:59 am

i also wear t-shirts for work,why wear dress shirts when i spend my day in gas,oil and grime

Himself has uniform shirts. I love the fact in winter I have found this softner and destinker

10:00 am

Hello...

10:00 am

Hello, Jellen.

Hello Jellen.

10:00 am

Has anyone heard from shdy today?

hi jellen!

g'morning jellen

10:01 am

Jellen, I don't know - last night's conversation has been mentioned in chat, but I haven't heard anything new.

have not seen here on

10:02 am

She's not answering her phone...I guess I should call the police to have them check on her...

I know what is happening but I was not here yesterday.

Jellen. Do. If you made a verbal agreement to answer the phone and she hasn't do so please

were you on with her very late last night?

10:03 am

Jellen, I'm sorry you're having to take on this responsibility, but it may be worth it, even just to set your mind at rest.

10:04 am

yes,do not waste time have someone check on her

perhaps she wore herself out

10:04 am

Yes, she gave me her phone number and we talked...she promised she would call a crisis hotline...

Did she say she would answer in the AM?

as she descibed it the police are alreaday involve, is that correct?

10:05 am

Yes, she has called the police on him before...

so they would understand if someone called them to check on her or they may already be doing so? not sure where she lives if rural or town

10:06 am

I'm going to call...brb

Jellen Call again and then get someone to check on her if she doesn't answer with a valid excuse.

i am sorry, not helping , sorry

time to go, catch you all another time

Yes you are TO. Best to check and be embarrassed

easy to give advice. hard to act. *poof*

10:08 am

Toodle-oo TO. (the grid is doable, but keep your subscription to Morewords up)

10:09 am

good morning . I see the Shdybrk saga continues

i have 2 N. na4 and na5. which one is that i am missing?

10:10 am

Hello, ruru. Yes, sadly.

10:10 am

she's had this loser around for years hasn't she?

10:10 am

na6/24

10:11 am

First three letters for an old horse/complaining woman, last three are for the King of Siam's governess, minus one of the double consonants.

10:11 am

I don't know all the details in detail, ruru, but she seemed in a bad way.

tx Haz.. figured it out with your clue..

10:12 am

good morning, friends - another intense drama here last night - very distressing to feel helpless in the face of desperate suffering

10:12 am

That's good - I've never seen the word before, Cosmo.

10:12 am

maybe she will get some counseling to find out why she is attracted to bad men

10:13 am

that's a much later step, ruru, this is a crisis right now, just to be willing to talk to anyone at all

10:13 am

na 6 is monkey food for horses haz.. of course?

10:14 am

no man is worth killing yourself over

10:14 am

no anything is worth killing yourself over

10:14 am

Of course!

10:15 am

Okay, time I was heading out. This is a stinkeroo of a grid but don't let me put you off. Enjoy!

10:16 am

*gone*

10:16 am

glad you are back and feeling better haz

Later Haz. Hi Ru and JBV

10:16 am

hi herin

10:16 am

bye Haz

bye haz

10:17 am

hello herin...you seem to have a good head about this crisis stuff

Oddly not finding this grid to bad

Can someone tell me if there are one or two AR words?

10:18 am

only one sm

thank you!

10:18 am

the other is as 5

Ru. I wasn't here last night..can only do what you can when you can. I find that life is too short to hurt yourself. I have a motto why hurt yourself when you can piss off others too :D

10:20 am

lol.. that's the way to think..

10:22 am

Talked to Shdy, she called me back...

10:22 am

very good to hear. (hello)

Thank gods.

wonderful jellen! is she feeling any better?

10:25 am

you are wonderful, Jellen

10:25 am

I think she's slightly better, but still very fragile...

10:25 am

she needs to be face to face with someone who can assess and help her

Jellen you need to go have some Jellen time. That and a big squishy hug, cookie and fav beverage

I've had to deal with depression before, and it's such a horrible thing to battle.

10:25 am

Told her I'd call her back this afternoon...

10:26 am

It is, I agree smooth_pappa

10:26 am

I was going to go to church, but it's too late now...

10:29 am

anyone have the ca 6/21?

10:30 am

How is the grid?

10:30 am

hi. glad you talked to her again this morning jellen. did she say she called a hotline last night?

10:31 am

No, she didn't, feather...

10:31 am

didn't say or didn't call?

10:31 am

Didn't call

10:31 am

i'm guessing didn't call. dang it. if only she would, or if she'd look at that site.

10:32 am

here we have a 211 service where you can call crisis personnel on behalf of loved ones you feel need help

ru - just got thte ca6.. c+ donkey + 2 vowels

10:36 am

10:36 am

How'd that go?

10:37 am

well she ordered it neat because that is what i do and found it hard going!

10:37 am

lol

10:37 am

i made sure she had a glass of water though so with ice and water she liked it

10:37 am

she said-- I don't want to be a wimp

10:38 am

satan is not in the dictionary? Hard to believe.

10:38 am

(volvo driver)

10:38 am

i told nothing wimpy about ice and water

10:38 am

10:38 am

Hi, stid

10:39 am

10:39 am

i am up first since it is nearly noon for me

10:39 am

we had so much fun yesterday, jmc!

10:40 am

we did and i enjoyed talking with your dad

10:40 am

stidgpere

10:40 am

oh, how was the meet up? are you both really real people? please confirm

10:40 am

yes.. jmc considered joining the military afterwards

10:40 am

2 hours and ten min and countin g and i drive the offspring to summer camp for a week!!

10:40 am

that's good, jmc. I am glad it wasn't tedious for you.

10:40 am

JBV, pics up at picasa, you can get two links in my profile

10:41 am

help on an7/44 please?

10:41 am

woo-hoo cross!!!!

10:41 am

lol i was planning on being a marine when i was in jr high

10:41 am

but then i saw the light

it's nother word for torment (noun)

10:41 am

wtg crossy

10:41 am

one week and one day and I show up freshly scrubbed to do two days of prep-work ... the following day the students show up. *sudden urge to hide under a rock*

10:42 am

*checks to make sure there are no rock available*

10:42 am

very exciting, stid - you are going to be great!

10:42 am

anxiety, parenting, anguish?

10:42 am

an hour and I have to sing for my supper!

10:43 am

ahh stiddles,once again into the trench! all those pliable young minds poised on your every work,ready to soak up your lessons like a sponge....

10:43 am

no, I am not going to be great. I will be adequate, I will forget to do some things, and I will completely botch others, but the children will survive, they and I will learn, and each time will get both easier and better.

10:44 am

learning from the kids and not expecting perfection sounds great to me

10:44 am

I dread interactions with the college faculty. really should have tried to transfer to the other local college. But, here I am, and I will do my best.

10:45 am

I read about shady as I was booting up this morning.

10:45 am

yes, jmc, that's the winning attitude - that's what makes a great teacher - the give and take with the kids

10:46 am

progress was made with shandy

10:46 am

that is what made my mother a great teacher (not so hot as a mother)

10:46 am

i read of a prof who told his students on day one that he would place an error in his lessons each day,and it was up to them to find it.they ended up paying rapt attention to the lessons just to catch the prof!! was great!!'

10:46 am

<==still trying to imagine ru drinking a volvo

10:46 am

what a good idea crossy

10:46 am

oh! oops. *sits in PB* I found the word, didn't see it in the grid and put it in the chog earlier... *sigh*

10:47 am

i though it was brilliant:)

I noticed stid... I wasn't going to say anything, though ;)

10:47 am

my son had a teacher that gave point if you caught her in grammatical errors poor thing

10:47 am

stid, I used to give each student a pink eraser on day 1 to remind them that we all make mistakes and the important thing is to learn from them

10:48 am

she did not anticipate a student whose whole family caught each others grammatical errors

10:48 am

Don't flog yourself, stidmama -- things happen!

10:48 am

last year, I gave out gold stars when students helped me learn ... that really surprised them! (funny how much 8th graders can enjoy stickers and stars...)

10:48 am

I am babbling instead of looking over the tasks I am supposed to do this next week before the master's program meets on Friday.

11:00 am

12:25 pm

My BF is seriously considering sony or Kindle reader. Also noted that B&N has a Nook? Whish do you recommend?

12:25 pm

ty flosey will go to it.

12:25 pm

any clue for the 8?

12:25 pm

Fireworks for me!

12:26 pm

TY m9 - what the *^%^* is that!

12:26 pm

My friends just got the nook and they really like it

12:26 pm

off to meet new neighbour - recently bought 8 acre lot next to us

12:26 pm

yay kaz!

12:26 pm

my sister has the kindle - loves it

12:26 pm

phew well done Kazzer I am really stuck on this one

12:26 pm

see you all tomorrow

12:26 pm

i expect they are all pretty equivalent

12:26 pm

you can try out the nook at B&N and the kindle at Target.

12:26 pm

gd evening everybody

12:26 pm

* is pu - means a very imp person and firewords

12:26 pm

i recommend touching both of them before buying.

12:26 pm

although it isn't backlit, so get an attachable light, but saves on batteries

12:26 pm

hoot,i now heartily reccoment the nook first,the sony second good choice and the kindle does not enter the running

12:26 pm

hi foo

12:27 pm

just use the pi7

12:27 pm

yay hoot!

12:27 pm

remember folks,the kindle DOES NOT accept e-pub files and uses a proprietary file formatt

12:27 pm

Really? I don't think he even considered the Nook except in passing.

12:27 pm

ty, got it

12:28 pm

ty kje

12:28 pm

i use the nook and the wife uses sony

12:28 pm

the nook and the sony are both "better sharers" in terms of file types they use. when you download ebooks from amazon they're generally in a special kindle-y format. as opposed to the e-pub ones.

12:28 pm

yeah

12:28 pm

me, a Scot, and missed the ha 6!

12:28 pm

ahah - I'll tell him that.

12:28 pm

ty cyber

12:28 pm

LOL nan!

12:28 pm

I'd gladly miss it!

12:28 pm

keep in mind that all 3 that you mentioned are primarily e-readers, and not WEB BROWSERS or anything else.

12:28 pm

and all libraries will be using e-pub as their preferred file

12:29 pm

mine will browse,but i bought it to read

ooh, yeah, ta for that clue, cybernan! ha!

12:29 pm

me too m9 -- ghastly tasting stuff

12:29 pm

they'll all sorta kinda do little bits and pieces of that stuff. But are very limited. will do less than your phone, really.

12:29 pm

personally, I would go with the iPad... can do what the kindle/nook does plus lots more

12:29 pm

hi, for a bit - trying to sleep but it's just way too hot here.

12:29 pm

That's all he wants it for I think. He's been using his notebook for reading and it died this week.

12:29 pm

fistly and foremostly..they are a reader,if you want a phone or computer,get something else

12:29 pm

crossy, our barnes and noble had a few nooks on display to try out. i really didn't like how the page flashed in negative before going to the next page. does the sony do that?

12:30 pm

but if cost is an issue...

12:30 pm

speaking of libraries and books, just reminding you of the book recommendation i put on my profile.

yeah, I have an iPhone and got an iPad recently, loving the iPad!!

12:30 pm

phantom hangup

12:30 pm

i love my nook. i like that it's light weight and not back lit.

12:30 pm

fartherbee,they stop that with the available update file

12:30 pm

NOT my phone! Tracphone and IS only a phone!

12:30 pm

but the ipad will do all the bells and whistles. books and computer, etc. if you want to pay more and get more.

12:30 pm

oh good! i'd go into a migraine after a while with that i was afraid

12:30 pm

oboy another choice.

12:30 pm

welcome to the grid, boob

12:31 pm

but that is my choice,since the sony 700 is no longer available,buy the nook

12:31 pm

thanks kje! nice move, btw.

12:31 pm

how about ordinary paper, bound, books?

12:31 pm

you are stillwhooping my ass though

12:31 pm

i still buy them too. :)

12:31 pm

barely

12:32 pm

good if you can see them..i still have bound books

12:32 pm

that's what I read ruby!

12:32 pm

i am down to 43 and should prob go find grem's list

12:32 pm

the book industry will never go out of business on my behalf.

12:32 pm

I will try to tell him all that you have said. Is working nights for next two weeks and is sleeping in to get on schedual.

12:32 pm

how old fashioned...:)

12:32 pm

I can't imagine spending more time than just babble and friends on a computer!

12:32 pm

you betcha, NB!

12:32 pm

na 6, please -- figure it has to start with the old horse, but I'm stumped

12:32 pm

having an e-reader does not mean i go on a book burning binge ruby lol

12:33 pm

lying down on the couch with a good book and a pup nearby -- can't be beat!

12:33 pm

last sa6?

12:33 pm

Oh lordy have we got bound books! 4 bookcases full and various piles all over the house! I'd raher read a book than a computer!!!

12:33 pm

12:33 pm

12:34 pm

12:36 pm

anyways,you have my 2 cents worth hoot,and i studied the market for over a year before i bought the wifes sony and over 2 years before i chose the nook

12:36 pm

how's mr dogmeat ruby?

1:02 pm

charming as usual!

1:02 pm

but, happily, healing very well

1:02 pm

2 pm here. Migraine woke me at 5:30 am. I took naproxen, slept til 10:15. Much better but still not 100%

1:02 pm

and the people are trying to get a petition together to keep the dog alive!

is the dog gone to the bad Dog Place?

that answers that question!

1:03 pm

he's in dog jail but the owners are lobbying like crazy!

is the dob still impounded?

dog

1:04 pm

yes, thank God. I think the local grandmas would burn their house down or at least go after the owners with their pitchforks

are they gaining any local support?

1:04 pm

I hope not and we haven't dropped the official complaint. It is, however, up to the mayor to decide

1:05 pm

and she said that she is ashamed that such a thing could happen in "her" village

I'm surprised there is even a debate

1:06 pm

in the US I think that once it was determined that the dog wasn't rabid, they would have put it down immediately!

1:07 pm

husband is bravely taking his regular walk past the place where he was attacked. Very tough guy, the DH

1:16 pm

my mother's always had a sort of foamy brownish top and strong vanilla taste

1:16 pm

I can't keep up with the blackberries, but, because of the weird spring, they are more ta** than usual

brown top i usually put small dots of butter on top when i bake it

1:17 pm

tomorrow I'm making blackberry liqueur and plum vodka

1:17 pm

great idea, I'll try that gandj!!

not tried any this year yet, still waiting for day i wont get drenched picking them

1:18 pm

one of the neighbors brough me about 2kg of plums on Friday. My two plum trees had no fruit this year.

yw and dont forget grated nutmeg over the top ;o)

1:18 pm

this has been a good fruit year for currants, cassis, raspberries, cherries and blackberries. And MAYBE there'll be figs, but the first batch all fell off in May

1:19 pm

and can you make ha6 gandj?

1:19 pm

I have picked many raspberries, black raspberries + blackberries in the park this summer.

strange, mind you never grown figs before so no idea if that's common. weather related?

1:20 pm

TY for the clue

1:20 pm

what are black raspberries?

never made it but looks simple enough as long as youve got the casing i guess, not squeamish me

1:20 pm

I am a bit far north for figs, but they're in the best spot in the garden, against a wall and with a southern exposure

1:20 pm

Maybe I am picking 2 variants of blackberries.

1:20 pm

help with the last sc 5/12 please

1:21 pm

never tasted it, but I would probably like it

i assume just raspberries that are dark in colour, last year we found gold ones at pick your own farm

1:21 pm

uno

add a letter to the sc4 before

1:21 pm

sc5/12 - double last letter of the 4

1:21 pm

Nope, Google shows 2 different berries

I love golden raspberries, see them so rarely

1:21 pm

1:21 pm

1:47 pm

Hey George, do you know Tipperary is in the All Ireland Hurling Finals?

1:48 pm

You have Tipp heritage, don't you?

1:49 pm

Sorry everybody. I got a bit parochial there...

yeah, my dad was from Thurles

1:49 pm

no prob here...

1:49 pm

Yay! Up Tipp! Do you follow the hurling?

1:50 pm

Is hurling what happens when you drink too much there soodle? ;)

no, don't follow much, too busy!

1:51 pm

Champ...No matter what happens here, we drink too much. Hurling, Football, if the cat has kittens, we drink too much. Its a National Pastime.

yeah and I don't drink at all, ha!

1:51 pm

Me too! :) But really, what is hurling?

not anymore I don't, used to just socially, never went for it that much, bad Irishman eh? ha!

1:52 pm

Hurling is a national game here. Its a bit like hockey, but a whole lot more skillful. It dates back about 1,100 years.

1:53 pm

ooooh...

1:53 pm

No such thing as a bad Irishman, George!

1:53 pm

Except maybe my ex, and he was an Englishman......

ha! hahaha!! yeah, all right!

(I've known some, lol!)

1:54 pm

Think soccer except everyone is running around the fe

1:55 pm

think soccer but everyone is running around the field with baseball bats trying to smash the ball into a goal

1:56 pm

that sounds like it could be hurtful!

1:56 pm

Yup. Thats about it, Dose. But it is a fascinating game (as an observer). As a player, it can be a bit daunting.

1:57 pm

Anybody heard from Zoozoom or shdybr8 today? Both were feeling very down over the last couple of days...

1:58 pm

Did you ever see the opening shots from THE WIDE WORLD OF SPORT on ABC television ... two guys sandwiched some enthusiasts head with their elbows while running at him at full tilt ... the guy just buckled ...

1:58 pm

not today, but I was only on briefly this a.m.

2:03 pm

Doseffing - just read your profile. WTG!!!!!

2:05 pm

Nobody can murder a chog like Soodle. : -(

2:06 pm

Silly! We're just trying to do the grid!

2:06 pm

Thanks Champ :-)

2:06 pm

Thanks ... but while I can really make it sound miserable and challenging and brave ... there were some many people in the oncology ward who were so much more challenged than me that I can't take too much credit ... you don't know how good you've got it until you watch a woman in the chair next to you taking chemotherapy while her eight and nine year old kids are playing on the floor around you and you know that she's not going to make it ...

2:09 pm

Well, thats puts things into perspective, Doseffing. You painted a very graphic picture there... but at the same time, you were facing a very tough time yourself. Fair play to you for seeing what others were facing. {{{{Doseffing}}}}

2:11 pm

again ... thanks ...

2:12 pm

Thank YOU doseffing.

2:13 pm

Hey George, have you had an update from Jesse today?

2:34 pm

Hi all. Just about ready for lunch but thought I'd say high to soodle, and red and all my friends on the chog.

2:34 pm

When we visited Ireland our guide got us out on the field with hurling sticks and ball. We were a menace to ourselves and rarely connected with the ball.

champ how does you foot feel? Sorry I got distracted.

2:51 pm

on and off. yesterday it was tight and bothered me. not sure what brought that on.

ugh. I am feeling a little tired, did a 5K race and then ran 2 beach miles yesterday running on the beach is harder than the films make it seem!

2:52 pm

no joke! there's a full and half marathon on a beach in south texas. main problem there is you're into the wind one way, and with it the other, so one half bites no matter what!

2:55 pm

yesterday our half-m,arathoners did their first 5K. Their coach gave out little medals. They were thrilled! You forget how exciting everything is when you're new.

2:55 pm

come on stidg... i always make the 4 gallon pot.... and if i'm lucky have some to freeze for lunches..

Oooh how sweet. I spent the day trying to get over the fact that my race was not chip timed and they somehow recorded my time 1and 1.2 min slower that their own time clock!

err one and on half.

2:56 pm

that's why you have to just go by your watch and be done with it. that's the pits though...been there!

2:56 pm

ok porl roll stuffed and in freezer to set then ..baconwrapped seared then the oven

yes, and I was distracted at the start so my garmin was off by about a tenth or so of a mile..

2:57 pm

2:57 pm

gahhhhhhh! been there too!

I'm starting to get worried about this upcoming Marathon, I feel like I add iles but never get too much faster...

2:57 pm

what did you roll the pork in? did you stuff it, then bacon wrap it?

2:58 pm

yes. had seen folks and everyone was so happy to see him.. but he had skirted the issue so far...\

9:19 pm

I said "don't they wonder why they think you've been dead?" and he said yes, but that he's just kind of hemmed and hawed, that the language barrier has made it a little easier to do so.

9:20 pm

It is really a difficult situation......

9:22 pm

yes. he's going to be TOTALLY exhausted after this trip!

9:23 pm

Hopefully not too stressed...he's probably not sleeping..

9:46 pm

i have 48 left, and i agree it seemed not bad last night

9:46 pm

how is DH, nef?

9:48 pm

HE's doing a little better each day, seain. I was over fixing his Aunt Jean's floor today and when I came home (he chose not to go along); he was using his walker instead of the wheel chair. Thanks for asking

10:08 pm

10:09 pm

it is a christian western camp theme

10:09 pm

I just don't like the new american bonding ritual of talking like our kids are a pain. I see it way too much.

10:09 pm

brb

10:09 pm

he will do horseback riding,archery,rock climbing all kinds of good stuff

10:10 pm

I love summer camp for kids. My 14 yo was just gone for a week. But I love it for how amazing it is for her.

10:10 pm

ahh..ok m9....

10:10 pm

I missed her.

10:12 pm

But the volume out there of "I can't wait 'til the kids are back in school" is outrageous. And kids here it.

10:12 pm

oops. hear it.

10:13 pm

back

10:13 pm

Hello Pinikula! That was fast. Welcome back to puzzle

10:13 pm

M9, don't get me wrong, after our oldest left home I was devastated....family structure changed forever, BUT it is the destiny for them to leave and THEN, if you marry well, you have your mate to love and enjoy for the rest of your life...like me!!

10:13 pm

i think i shall pass on this topic and move onwards...

10:14 pm

I think I will pa4/5 on sending you to the PB crosshair

10:14 pm

I remember sending my girls to "Dad's summer camp"...planned what I was going to for weeks before they left...dropped them off, the went home, sat and wondered what I was going to do while they were gone!

10:14 pm

oh I totally agree with you Jilly! It's definitely time for my oldest to leave the nest. she's ready. I'm ready.

10:14 pm

lol min

10:14 pm

LOL Pini!

10:15 pm

so much for preplanning, eh, m9?

10:15 pm

speaking of passing... I guess it's time for me to do the Jump and Bump. This is definitely feeling like other times when that worked... so probably stones.

10:16 pm

nudge for the 8 plz (stats that is)

10:16 pm

never heard of "Jump and Bump" before...sounds "interesting"

10:17 pm

I remember when my older ones were little and Tim was working nights, and so we had to be quiet if we were home so he could sleep, and I was exhausted. Tim would shoo me out of the house for a couple hours on his day off.

10:17 pm

10:18 pm

I ca4/5 believe I finished the grid today.Even though it was not a gi 5/14 grid, it was tough.I was going to pa 4/5 on doing a story today, but couldn't resist. So here is a story for you to sc 4/5 for clues. My sister ra 4/6 me on the phone & asked if I could babysit. So now I am at the ca4/5 of my sister's. She's paying me ca 4/6 to babysit tomorrow. My niece & nephew love to ch5/14 songs so will be doing alot of that. I've also made a ch 5/14 of all the activities we're going to do tomorrow. The day will start w/kids brushing all the ta6/18 off of their teeth. Then we will play a game of ha 7/44. Then we'll take a break & take the dogs out for a pi4/5.Then we will draw pi 4/6 with crayons. I'll feed them ha6/33 for lunch. Not sure if they'll like it. After lunch we will watch the move "Ca 4/5". Our day will end by as 6/24ing my niece and nephew the task of picking up the tr 5/12 we accrued throughout the day. My eyes are beginning to close which is a si 4/6 for me to go to bed. It has been fun ha4/7in out with you but now it is time for me to sc4/5 on out of here I'm going to leave the ch4/5 log and go ch 5/18e into my pajamas. Goodnight Babble ga 4/8!

10:46 pm

(not actually familiar with that expression...)

10:46 pm

it's always worked for me before!

10:47 pm

check out jumpandbump.com, stid ;)

10:47 pm

I think this is about the 5th time...

10:47 pm

and it really works, eh?

10:47 pm

been a while. I forget that's what the pain is. I told Tim where I was hurting and he said, maybe a kidney stone.. and doh!! that's exactly what it feels like!

10:48 pm

first time was in TN

10:48 pm

so that was... 6 years ago

10:48 pm

well, hopefully it works again!

M9 i have to tell you

10:50 pm

sa6/24 please

10:51 pm

10:51 pm

thanks for that...

10:51 pm

sorry dont get it

No you shouldn't but it was about the school thing last night my time

10:52 pm

me either, dk

10:52 pm

That sa 6/24 word is sa plus that ta 4/6 word daykat

10:52 pm

sa + orange astronaut drink

Some people like their kids out in the world being taught by teachers and some like them to be taught at home and there is nothing wrong with that. I think Crossy has one teenage boy that is heading into the gnawing on the furniture stage

10:52 pm

got it ;)

10:52 pm

I remember drinking that when I was younger...

10:52 pm

got it thanks but still dont get the astronaut reference

10:53 pm

never had kidney problems.

10:53 pm

dk...the end of the word is a powder that you can add to water to give it flavor...

10:53 pm

That's where t*** came from, the space program...my you must be a lot younger than I...

10:53 pm

...it was used by the astronauts many many years back...

and We love you

10:54 pm

it wasn't about whether or not kids should be in school. It was about a certain cultural phenomenon of speaking gleefully about getting them out of house. It's one of my "hot" buttons.LOL I already spoke to Crossy just a bit ago.

10:54 pm

it provided an "orange" flavor (with vitamins)

10:54 pm

It was the best breakfast juice around when I was a kid.

10:54 pm

ah I see ty pini

M9 it is ok. You do what is right for you. SMoochies

Hi everyone. I am multi tasking and failing

10:55 pm

need three more AG words. have AG 4/6. help?

10:55 pm

you still think it's about whether I agree with sending kids to school. that's not what it's about!LOL And I love you too.

10:55 pm

Hey, stid...finish my grid for me! I may crash/burn early tomorrow...

10:55 pm

Just like I had all my children born at home. But I don't think that's for everyone.

10:55 pm

...Koda's coming home and GD will be arriving shortly thereafter...

My friend had hers nearly at home then went to the hospital had her and walked out again in under 5 hours. SHe just didn't want to be there

10:56 pm

(m9, for as fast as both my girls arrived, I would've been scared to death and totally unpreppared for home deliveries - I'm impressed by those who make that choice, tho!)

10:56 pm

Ok M9...it's a fine line we as parents walk between liking time away from kids and being so overwhelmingly present in their lives that 19-21 years later you don't know the person you created them with!

10:57 pm

3 left and I dont know where I'm missing them!!!

10:57 pm

go daykat go!

10:57 pm

Go daykat go1

10:57 pm

I hear that Jilly. I have one about to get married, and one that's 4.LOL

10:57 pm

Mine was the p's and one a

10:57 pm

I think one ag4/6 is an ice cream thickener and its plural. Also ag4/6 is like Rock of Ag** with a different second vowel. The last ag4/7 is ag + nickname for mother.

10:57 pm

wow, m9...that's a spread!

10:57 pm

I hope you'll have a great reunion with Koda and the grand!

10:58 pm

I know you're going to have a great time making fondant (take pics) and playing!

10:58 pm

Oh, I will, stid...you can count on it!!!! * beamingly excited *

10:58 pm

But I really have been observing that it's become the new social "bonding ritual" to talk about how hard it is to have kids, and what a handful they are... and "just wait until they're teenagers!!".

10:58 pm

etc

10:58 pm

hang in there daykat!! I finally found them all

10:59 pm

I will, stid!!!! (I really think she's going to have a blast doing it - I've been toying with the idea of trying to make one for her for her birthday - something *special*)

10:59 pm

it's like.. hmmm I don't know if we have anything in common... oh? you have kids? so do I! Let's talk about all the trouble they are!!! ha ha ha.. isn't it funny!?!? I don't like the trend.

10:59 pm

ta 7/28 (the one after the plaid) I think

11:00 pm

well, it IS hard to have kids (harder for some of us than others) and it's a damn sight better to be able to say you're struggling than to have to think you're the only one.

11:00 pm

daykat - add a vowel to the plaid

11:00 pm

When my mother was parenting, she had no one to turn to at all.

11:00 pm

I have a list in my profile for those needing it!

11:00 pm

HOOT!!!! ((((Hugs))))

11:00 pm

...and sharing the goodtimes we have with them as they grow up is also fun!

11:00 pm

i don't think that's necessarily anything new. i recall reading erma bombeck, doing the same thing.

11:00 pm

got it cbr - what sort of word is that???

11:01 pm

i need an m word

11:01 pm

(like sharing camo boy's cake eating skills) =)

11:01 pm

there's a big difference between talking to someone you know and trust their judgement about difficulties you're having and using the kids as small talk.

11:01 pm

hi weed!!!

11:01 pm

Sounds like a giant spider!

11:01 pm

* escorts cbr to the PB *

11:01 pm

"no dictionary results"

11:01 pm

And I hardly EVER hear parents talking about their children's good qualities out in public.

11:01 pm

Ugh - slinks away!

11:01 pm

Stid excluded.LOL

11:01 pm

I do, m9, I do!!! :)

11:02 pm

Erma also focused on funny and positive, retrospective things. She was great to read for perspective, but it's different from being able to be honest with the real hard times.

11:02 pm

and Pini.

11:02 pm

LOL. and me.

11:02 pm

Oh, I should share with you what I learned today...my dau just moved to TX and already found a job!! * woot woot *

11:02 pm

* giggle *

11:02 pm

YAYAYAY!!!! that is awesome

11:02 pm

Pini DOES talk positively about her children. So do most of the parents I know, and ALL of the parents I maintain friendships with.

11:02 pm

(however, if you want to know a few of the not-so-good things, I could share; but not now)

11:03 pm

most of the parents i know share the good things about their children. they also share their trials, and are relived to know they aren't alone.

My friends nephew is a brat and that is due to bad parenting. Sorry but that is the way I feel.

11:03 pm

good for her, pini!!

11:03 pm

<-- in a very "happy" place as a result of the weekend's festivities and pending week's visit!

11:03 pm

relieved. oops.

11:04 pm

m9 - I don't know where you've been listening but that is not true! And apparently, unlike you, most parents don't want to spend 100% of their time with children. They like talking to grown-ups, and going to the store alone and taking a bath without worrying about a kid playing with matches.

11:04 pm

that's how it is with my friends too. but there's a social thing going on... for example.. When I was managing retail.. i had SO many people I didn't know well tell me how HORRIBLE it was going to be when I had two teenagers.

11:04 pm

oh! I got the thickening AG 4/5 combo!

11:05 pm

I like talking to everyone. and so do my kids. LOL

I love it that I get the snooty down the nose look for not having kids with b.f from his mother yet his sister lets her kids watch what ever they like and leaves them alone and they are 6 and 8 whilst they are up the back of the paddock building their new mega house

11:06 pm

M9---I see that a lot in the parents of the teens I work with in youth ministry. They have just hit those years and the natural separation problems are really overwhelming them. I take the time to talk up their teen; I mostly only see the good parts anyway!

11:06 pm

I give up. You don't and won't ever get it

11:07 pm

Fireworks!!!!!

11:07 pm

wtg dk ;)

11:07 pm

phew

11:08 pm

congrats daykat

11:08 pm

and thank you everyone for your help

11:08 pm

Congratulations daykat on your fireworks!Way to go

11:08 pm

Wah Whoo daykat!!

11:08 pm

wtg daykat!!!!

11:10 pm

I appreciate the fact that we all have different opinions, perceptions, and voices...it's what makes us unique...I think parents and children have "moments" and that in certain context or perhaps stressful stituations, the negatives probably show; however, when "stress" factors aren't present, that's when the good things are shared...(gads, hope that made sense)...and now back to the grid I go...

11:10 pm

(just MHO spew)

11:10 pm

now I really have to go to the bank to get $$ for the tree lopper - back later *poof*

11:10 pm

have fun, dk

11:11 pm

YAY daykat! see you later!

M9 how old are your kids?

11:11 pm

Goodbye daykat! I will see you tomorrow in the chog!

11:11 pm

...in fact, I think I'll go to bed...

11:12 pm

...cya tmw night (with report of day's events) ;)

11:12 pm

g'night all!! * poof *

11:12 pm

I changed my icon for flower icon Monday. I dedicate my flowers to shdybr8 and zoozzoom.Goodnight to all

11:12 pm

(((sweet dreams pini))) see you and the grand tomorrow I hope?

11:12 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

11:12 pm

Herin, 22, 19, 14 and 4

11:13 pm

beautiful rose min!!

11:13 pm

sweet dreams Min. see you soon.

Would you let a 6 and 8 year old watch Avatar?

Night Min

11:13 pm

I haven't seen avatar, so I don't know.

11:14 pm

It really depends on the 6 and 8 year old too...

It is M rated

11:16 pm

There are some disturbing scenes in Avatar. Not sure I would let that age see it. You should watch it first. Returns to PB.

11:16 pm

I wouldn't have too many objections to Avatar, but wouldn't let them watch Matrix or Spiderman... (if they were my children)

11:16 pm

My kids always were very aware of what they were capable of watching and what they weren't. They are much more likely to limit their viewing than I am. my Oldest wouldn't watch E.T.

11:16 pm

I don't really have a desire to see it.

11:16 pm

It is PG-13, which is not always inappropriate for younger children.

11:17 pm

PG-13 isn't always appropriate for ME!!LOL

11:17 pm

I rather liked Avatar, although I found it derivative (used too many ideas from previous science fiction)

11:18 pm

yes, very derivative, and i was not all that wowed by the graphics either

11:18 pm

It always depends on who is watching it with them, what level of discussion they are able to have, how safe they feel in their own world...etc.

11:18 pm

I loved Avatar and it was totally derivative )although I didn't mind_.

It is just one of those things that pisses me right off. B.fs mum has no photos up of him any were and none of me and him even though she has pictures and still has one pic up of his ex (who was the town bike) and thinks the sun shines out of his sisters butt. It isn't ok for us not to have kids but it is ok to let an 8 and 6 year old alone in the house whilst they are down the back padock

11:20 pm

As axed!

11:20 pm

I don't think there's anything wrong with an 8 and 6 yo alone if parents are on property?? For small periods of time??

11:21 pm

although I think the disparity of treament towards bf and sister is horrendous.

11:21 pm

Cs completed!

11:21 pm

and whether or not to have kids is your choice!

11:21 pm

YAY stid!!

11:22 pm

I allowed my children to roam quite a bit when they were 6 and 8, but then we are rural and it's a relatively hazard-free area.

11:22 pm

but again, it really depends on the children.

11:22 pm

yes stid. exactly.

11:22 pm

I could trust my kids at those ages.

11:23 pm

Gs gone!

11:23 pm

Hello...

11:23 pm

hey Jellen ((((many hugs)))) how are you doing this evening?

It is rural it is just one of those things. Like when I was that age we roamed all over the neighbourhood built forts and such but we had a time period always or I had older minders. Just bugs me

11:23 pm

go go stid!!

11:24 pm

Hs hung!

11:24 pm

{{{jellen}}}} hi!

11:24 pm

I'm moderately okay...feeling very lonely today...

11:24 pm

sounds like there's underlying resentments.

11:24 pm

stid is just burning through the grid!

11:24 pm

down to 6, having a list really helps

11:24 pm

oh Jellen, of course!

11:25 pm

oh jellen... here we are. what can I do to help?

11:25 pm

hope the chog can relieve it a bit.

11:25 pm

Nothing really to do...

11:25 pm

Ns nixed.

Hi Jellne

M9 you could say that.

11:26 pm

Oh Jellen, I am so sorry, this has to be difficult. I wish you had someone there with you! ((hugss))

O Jellen. sending you massive big squishy hugs

11:26 pm

go stid!!

11:27 pm

hello again. I won't finish again tonight

11:27 pm

Herin.. I have ccme to know that you just can't make someone change. You can only change yourself. Don't waste much energy on the resentment. Just figure she's broken, it's too bad it couldn't be differently, and then find things to be happy about.

11:27 pm

Neither will I, Nef...

11:27 pm

hey Nef!

11:28 pm

Hey Nef, how is DH doing? AND you too?

We do. Hi Nef

11:28 pm

Hi Jellen and stid.

11:28 pm

It's like building a safety bubble around yourself. You can still interact with her, be nice etc.. but you don't have to let her brokeness inside your bubble.

11:28 pm

hi nef!

11:29 pm

Jillyjill, DH is slowly improving each day.

11:29 pm

R's removed!

11:29 pm

that is good to hear, Nef.

11:29 pm

m9; that's exactly how I feel about difficult family members too

11:30 pm

oh! gotta go jump! brb

11:30 pm

I think I'm going to change how I do this, after I run thru all the things I can find on my own, I list and then start at the top...think now I'm going to find the longest worded letter and start there...was so tired by the time I hit the p & t's....

11:30 pm

S's subverted!

11:31 pm

go m go!

11:31 pm

one set of jumps done..

11:31 pm

good news nef! well, that must mean things are better for you too!!??

YAh Nef

11:31 pm

gotta watch time... jump again in 10 minutes

Thank gods I can choose my friends

M9 I have developed the perfect solution to her buging me. Study study study (sorry Huh reading)

11:32 pm

11:32 pm

11:32 pm

M9. Advanced Diploma of Busines Legal practice Diploma of business

YAH Stid

11:33 pm

YAY, stid!! WTG!!!

11:34 pm

another thing you can do is just little things to change the pattern. So if you have a usual response, try something just a little different.

11:35 pm

Are we not feeding lickety enough? We sure miss it when it;s not here.

11:35 pm

I suppose sc4/5 means that too! think tracking in the woods.LOL

11:36 pm

I think he takes a day off a week...

11:36 pm

11:37 pm

LIST IS IN MY PROFILE!

O dpm'

11:38 pm

Thanks Hoot.

11:40 pm

m, do you want to ch4 a little through facebook? maybe I can help?

11:40 pm

yw

But no auto list means no for my brain to find 60 in short time

11:40 pm

Well, I certainly appreciate having a list no matter where it comes from!!

11:40 pm

and eventually the breakthroughs will be solid.

11:40 pm
