cassava is another word for yuca

shtetl is a Jewish settlement in pre-WWII Europe

12:17 am

schtetl alt spelling of it.

12:17 am

dc ohh wat is yuca?

12:18 am

yuca is the starchy root of a plant, often boiled then fried or mashed. I think it's also spelled yucca in English, but i learned it not in English first.

yes, Christine, she sure was

ta, Jill! xx 92 left now, will hafta list soon!

12:37 am

yes, Christine -- don't you check the themes? They're posted in my bio and of course in Sprite's -- and now in JillyJill's too.

12:37 am

ah, what a lovely thought, Christine, a b'day cake in your mother's honour

that's an incredible photo, Jill, lightning with a volcano at night? not a night I'd wanna be out in!!

12:39 am

with a tornado, george...

88 left....

12:39 am

that would certainly not be a night to be out, Jilli

12:40 am

Thhank you Flosey - and Jullibus, I do, often, check the themes, but it sometimes takes two days for the icon to change (don't know why). I changed for my Mum when I finished yesatersay's grid.

no, Christine, it changes right away, it's just your not seeing it due to browser cache not being cleared -- if you sign out, close your browser and sign back in you should!

12:41 am

Sorry, s/b Jillibus.

clear cache when you do that.......

actually if I don't see mine right away, reloading the page usually sorts it!

12:41 am

re8

12:42 am

I have to go out of Babble and back in

12:42 am

hi rurururu

12:42 am

Nah, just too much trouble - rather spend the time plaing babble - but thanks for the tip. SAomeone told me what to do, and I did it, but ...

is that 8 a re-action word, ruru?

12:42 am

hi ru, you just surfacing

12:42 am

top row grey now

yeah, Jill, that often does it

12:42 am

lol

might be the one I've already had for a little while?

is there more than one re8, I wonder??

12:43 am

dunno george

12:43 am

refreshing no longer works for me - it used to, but not now.

your laughing tells me it's probably the one I have!

12:44 am

oh blast, french for garlic doesn't work

yeah, not refreshing the main babble page, but the bio page, Jill -- reloading that always works for me!

12:44 am

I don't need to do that. geo

course not, Jill, there's no letter i in this grid!

so how could it work!?

and no L either, lol--not awake!!

12:46 am

aneth -- isn't that garlic?

eh, no!! it's ail

12:47 am

aoli

even though garlic's supposed to help cure what 'ails' you, ha!

12:47 am

oops, sorry

12:48 am

I thought aioli was a mayo with garlic in it. Oh -- just check the dictionary and garlic is ail.

I told you that, Jill!

12:49 am

aoili is whipped up eggs and oil and garlic jilli

80 left!

12:50 am

I see aneth is dill.

ooh! and somehow I've got NBT -- though wasn't trying for that, lol!

12:50 am

I knew I had garlic dill pickes in the fridge and got them mixed up.

yeah, sorry, know that but my mind didn't register it! I'm deffo not awake -- sleep babbling, ha!

12:52 am

and aneth is in the grid

yeah, won't work though!

12:52 am

wtg for nbt george

ha! wasn't even trying to get NBT!

12:52 am

no -- dear old enable speaks some French but not that.

12:53 am

well, you're really roaring through this grid, george.

79 left and no I'm not really, Jill--hit the wall!

12:54 am

I still have 130 left.

69 left -- saying no more, lol!

there, 68!

1:03 am

I keep seeing aretha in the grid

1:05 am

Thanks, granny, got it now....was nodding off, I think.

1:35 am

oh beautiful lightining bolt, jilli!

1:35 am

hugs back, hun

1:35 am

yay gapeach

1:35 am

thanks, sprite -- I wanted to use an animated one but it wouldn't work here :(

1:36 am

no, most are too big to stay animated. But this one is really impressive too.

1:36 am

yours is lovely, sprite

1:36 am

thank you :)

1:37 am

have you seen zoozoom's icon?

1:37 am

no, will check it out now

1:38 am

LOL... that is pure genious

1:38 am

*genius

1:39 am

I wonder how it was done!

it's just an animated .gif image he's uploaded there like you would upload any pic to your bio, Jill

you can find animated .gif's like that online easily

1:40 am

wonderful to see zooz has found enough of himself back to be bothered to share it with us.

1:40 am

george, animated gifs of that size don't work -- I've tried.

what do you mean, what size?

1:40 am

they usually work in profile, jilli, just not in chog

1:41 am

only tiny ones work. DrG explained that they get resized to appear here and that strips them of the animation.

oh yeah, see what ya mean now! saw it once before but forgot it wasn't square, yeah, that's odd!?

ask him then?

I thought all images had to be square or they don't display properly in a bio page?

1:42 am

I know, sprite -- *usually* -- but hardly ever these days. I tried to use an animation from Wikipedia this time and it wouldn't work in either place.

1:43 am

but zooz is one helluva smart guy :)

1:44 am

I usually crop things square if they aren't already, or resize them with photoshop by adding blanks areas to make them square.

1:44 am

same here, makes for well proportioned icons.

1:44 am

I don't come across zooz much -- wrong time zone.

1:46 am

I am a girl of all hours these days. I come across most babblers every once in a while.

1:46 am

I'm always glad when you show up, sprite.

1:47 am

and vice versa, jilli :)

1:48 am

phant -- anthem

yeah, just as I thought -- he's just found that image and uploaded it as is. I just put it in my bio page to test and yeah, that's all he's done, it works!

1:49 am

just realised how much you learned computerwise, jilli! Cropping images, adding blanks... so comp savvy!

check it out -- reload my page if it doesn't show up at first! wonder why it displays all right at that size and shape!?

1:49 am

is it a .gif, george?

yeah, of course it is, Jill -- only .gif images can be animated!

1:50 am

argh, bad phantom. Now I keep seeing it too. Am reading Anathem atm.

1:50 am

sprite, son came over a while ago and gave me a short photoshop lesson

see it, Jill?

gonna change back to mine again......

1:51 am

good son, smart mom

1:51 am

yes, george. Maybe it's small enough.

yeah, but I always thought they had to be square?

back to my own, hope it shows up now?

1:52 am

looks like that whole th is a waste, except as word ending.

1:52 am

They show up in the chog as square and sometimes they're correct in the bio but sometimes squished -- hard to tell why!

horrible pic of me having not the best hair day, lol!

yeah, I thought they get 'squished' as you say coz they're not square? seems to be most of the time!

1:53 am

right, sprite, no th words

1:53 am

thanks jilli

1:54 am

something tells me that's not your hair, george

1:56 am

lol I found a french duck!

ha! how'd ya guess, Jill? I have dyed it some funky colours over the years, lol! think it's been every colour just about, at some point -- might be why I don't have any left, eh?

1:56 am

I'm stuck with 75 to go.

I have 35 left!

have you listed, Jill? that's what's really helped me

1:57 am

you're so smart, george ;)

1:58 am

Yes, I've listed -- but it's almost midnight and I'm almost asleep.

2:02 am

hi everyone

me, 'so smart'? there's a stretch, ha!

me, 'so smart'? there's a stretch, ha!

2:02 am

2:04 am

ages since i babbled, george is new?

2:04 am

Hugo is lovely, Andree

2:04 am

hmmm -- Snert is the dog in Hagar the Horrible, isn't it? Oh -- nobody here would know US comic strips, I guess!

2:05 am

snert is dutch for pea soup

2:05 am

2:05 am

2:08 am

wtg sandy!!!!!!!!! You DID it! Feels better, huh. And wtg for your daughter too. No ties, no thank-yous.

2:08 am

2:08 am

2:09 am

2:09 am

2:10 am

You've been away too long, Andree, you're out of practice! Nice to see you (and Hugo is adorable). Good morning/evening all.

2:14 am

morning Haz

2:14 am

i haven't babbled for so long , i am out of practice

2:14 am

thats my excuse anyway

2:14 am

back

2:15 am

goodness haz are you reading my mind

2:15 am

it is a good excuse. Just don't let it happen again. (You being away too long I mean.)

2:15 am

wb sandy

2:15 am

its a pretty quick read, lol

2:15 am

It sounds a reasonable one, Andree. I have greyed the top row as well. Do we call up the record books?

2:15 am

beautiful, sandy!

2:15 am

absolutly

2:15 am

a lot of great lightening pics there

2:15 am

with such impressive results, Haz, I am sure they will call us.

2:16 am

I think so. We must agree to share the glory and not quibble about timings.

2:17 am

you are just saying that because you were the last haz

2:17 am

that is fine with me. However, I have to add that I also grayed out the T on the right. *smug*

2:17 am

Wash out your mouth, Andree!

2:18 am

Ditto, sprite. (Hope we don't move on any further)

2:18 am

Ive greyed the v

2:18 am

Ah, but babble is not a competition. (THe excuse of the defeated)

2:18 am

hm I haven't yet. I could hit on the S though, in the corner. I might be able to gray that one.

2:19 am

I think of babble as a competition against myself

2:19 am

I keep seeing savant and vacant. Not helpful.

2:19 am

When Henry Kissinger retold his stories of diplomacy, did he re7/32 his ac4/5 of ta4/5?

2:20 am

ohhhh I like that, Haz! Nicely put.

2:21 am

I love those sort of clues haz,

2:21 am

I couldn't resist. Henry is, of course, my hero.

2:22 am

May I please have a clue for ca5-12 the 2nd? Thanks

2:23 am

about supplying food

2:23 am

am reasonably sure my 2nd isn't the 2nd. To bring drinks and foods around on a party.

2:24 am

Thanks much, sandyloo.

2:24 am

2:47 am

he is coming home!!!!

2:47 am

me too, but it was too time consuming, everyone wanted to practice and have too many lunches

2:48 am

I don't think there is anything we can do before the court date onf 5 Nov

2:48 am

those people would voluntarily have him put down, if they had an ounce of brains instead of being a couple of looneys

2:48 am

dh back with groceries!

2:48 am

see you later

2:49 am

bye for now

2:49 am

Im going off for a while too

2:53 am

me too, must watch news, have we a government yet?

3:05 am

back already. The bad news is, the car refuses to start. The good news is, more time to babble.

3:06 am

And the certain knowledge that we will be offering no advice whatsoever on what to do with the car!

3:07 am

lol yes! Which is really good, because I wouldn't have any idea what to do with car advice anyway.

3:08 am

I must confess, the only time I lift the bonnet is to fill the water reserve for the screenwash. I have to consult the book every time to find the catch...

3:09 am

Good morning Haz and spritey sprite!

3:09 am

Good morning, FM! Does the sun shine with you?

3:09 am

that about sums it up for me too. I can check the oil and add some if needed. And the cooling liquid. That is all. Oh, and of course I can call the garage and tell them they got a job. That is my best car talent.

3:09 am

hiya FM :)

3:10 am

It is shining beautifully today thank you :)

3:10 am

Excellent!

3:10 am

and aparently will continue to do so all week.

3:11 am

I can change a tyre but I choose not to.

3:11 am

In time for the children going back to school? Our schools start back today and of course the sun is splitting the trees.

3:12 am

I can diagnose a fan-belt needing to be replaced (awful screechy noise).

3:12 am

I think it is next week for the schools to go back around here. lol Haz.

3:12 am

actually, together we probably could get most cars fit to reach the garage at the very least.

3:13 am

Good point sprite - a babble team effort :)

3:13 am

I remember being terribly embarrassed when one car needed to have the exhaust replaced. I roared up to the garage sounding like a boy racer.

3:14 am

I need a boost to get the car going, and then I can drive it to the garage. Am scanning neighbourhood already for unsuspecting strong men.

3:15 am

oh! Haz, I know! I had to do the same once... I was red in the face and I kept looking apologetic to everyone who looked my way.

3:15 am

pfft, the exhaust on my car went last November and I 'did' sound like a boy racer. Unfotunately as it is a twin exhaust it cost about £1200 to replace the whole system.

3:15 am

ouch FM! I think that is more than my whole car is worth.

3:15 am

Is the battery flat sprite?

3:15 am

It was awful waiting at traffic lights, I'm sure people thought I was going to try to cut them up.

3:16 am

no the battery works. To put it profesionally: the engine goes woowoowoowoowoo but it won't go broom.

3:16 am

The car also needed a service and MOT and 2 new tyres so the total bill was £2500 - thankgoodness I had just sold the flat.

3:17 am

oh and a new radiator.

3:17 am

Ah. It's not your fan belt because then it would go eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek and eventually move.

3:17 am

lol indeed

3:17 am

LOL sprite I love your technical diagnosis there .

3:17 am

our garage guy is an old friend and he always looks forward to my explaining what is wrong. Especially the sound fragments.

3:18 am

*giggle*

3:18 am

Poor FM! I remember when you had that bill, but you reckoned it would keep the car going for another good few years so would be worth it.

3:18 am

that is awfully expensive, FM :( Is it working fine now?

3:18 am

Oh yes, it was def worth it as I have no plans to get another car for a looooong time.

3:20 am

Unlike my Mums car - she has had it a year now and had done a staggering 110 miles in 1 year 'sheesh'

3:20 am

almost not worth having a car for

3:20 am

Goodness, that's not even one tank of petrol!

3:21 am

I know - why they felt the need to buy a brand new car I don't know, the old one was about 6 years old and only had about 10,000 miles on the clock.

3:22 am

lol... the kind of car they did away with is better than the kind of car we tend to buy.

3:22 am

Good grid today btw.

3:22 am

it is a good grid, yes. Makes up for yesterday's.

3:23 am

love that the french for duck is accepted.

3:23 am

Any grid is good that has a k but which doesn't expect you to find any words for it.

3:23 am

me too! Is that for food?

3:23 am

true, Haz. Especially when it isn't used at all.

3:24 am

and the high IQ group is here too several times. Talking of which where is Ata?

3:24 am

It's there to represent a kind of red herring - an untruth to deceive. The French duck, I mean.

3:25 am

maybe Ata is very busy knotting.

3:25 am

She did the grid yesterday, so she's still alive but yes, knotting furiously.

3:26 am

She must be very busy doing something as I haven't seen her for ages now :(

3:26 am

That was such a piddly little grid yesteray.

3:27 am

I did speak to her on here a couple of days ago..it was brief though...then she went back to knotting.....Hello {{All}}

3:27 am

thanks Haz, will remember that meaning of french duck.

3:27 am

Greetings zooz!

3:27 am

Hello, zooz.

3:27 am

I chatted with her yesterday, shortly, she had to concentrate on complicated knotwork.

3:28 am

Loved your car noise descriptions Spritey..LOL

3:28 am

hey zooz! *hugs* Good to see you. We have admired your icon this morning.

3:28 am

Ata must have an exhibition or commission on the go then.

3:28 am

i have been trying to put other gif icons on my profile...but they do not seem to work...will try again later.

3:29 am

hehehe zooz :)

3:29 am

The thing is with sprite's car noise - you know exactly what she means and we all dread hearing it from our vehicles.

3:29 am

i prefer a car to go Vroom instead of broom :-)

3:29 am

if the file is too big, it won't move on the profile. And it has to be really really small to move in chog.

3:30 am

hm yes, you are right. Broom is rather witchy. I'd love my car to fly, can you tell?

3:30 am

i Agree Sprite..but these were the same size..if not smaller :-(

3:30 am

Mine purrrrs

3:31 am

with a bit of attitude :)

3:31 am

one of the many incomprihensible things of babble, zooz ;)

3:31 am

purring with an attitude... sounds great to me, FM!

3:31 am

some round here sounds like gunshots firing..lol

3:31 am

how are you doing today, zooz?

3:31 am

BRB

3:32 am

yep..ok..thanks :-)

3:32 am

I think the sun helps..beautiful day again here..hope the weather is good for you too, Spritey :-)

3:32 am

glad to hear that. One day at a time, right? Still thinking of you often and sending you supportive vibes.

3:33 am

sun is very good! Not much of that here atm though, Autumn started very early this year.

3:33 am

thanks sprite! :-)

3:35 am

Check out my icon - not my car but the same make and model.

3:36 am

zooz, the sun really does help, it has lifted my spirits this week.

3:36 am

ooooo classy, FM!

3:37 am

daylight and sunlight really help with depressions. Going out and get some excercise, even just walking, works miracles too. How is the eating and drinking going, zooz?

3:37 am

ooh very nice car..can`t see it too well..looks a bit like a lexus.....glad to hear that FM..wish it was sunny everyday.

3:37 am

Toyota MR2 zooz

3:38 am

funny thing is..i have never eaten so much..i can`t stop stuffing my face...yet still no weight gain at all...lol

3:38 am

looks like you need it then :D Good for you! You are a hero.

3:38 am

A sporty car FM..def a Vroom VROOM..lol

3:38 am

A sporty car FM..def a Vroom VROOM..lol

3:39 am

wow my first echo :-)

3:39 am

boys... sigh... always so loud with their cars! ;)

3:39 am

lol

3:41 am

I can see Haz has snuck off & gone deep into the grid..lol

3:41 am

*fish slap* volcano alert and pl.

3:42 am

Wrong! I was actually answering the phone.

3:42 am

ooh thanks FM

3:42 am

i always miss the volcano one..BR always had to clue it to me..lol

3:42 am

you were doing a quick oil check and rotating the tyres weren't you.

3:42 am

how is the healing going, Haz? Can you iron again, already?

3:42 am

And musing that my husband's main criteria for choosing a car is (a) does it go and (b) does it have a huge boot for carrying round all his equipment.

3:42 am

Oh, ok Haz..lol

3:43 am

good criteria in my book!

3:44 am

BabbleRabble is our Clue Emperor. Haven't seen him in days, though... miss him.

3:44 am

that sounds soo much like my dad..hahahaha..there has to be enough space to put a house in otherwise it is of no practical use

3:45 am

He did enter the chog a few days ago..but very very briefly..hope he is ok.

3:45 am

He's been making very sproradic and short appearances, sprite, I think he's not well again.

3:47 am

BR is online at the mo but his babble hammock hasn't been slept in for days :(

3:47 am

I so so wish he'd find something to help him maintain more balance. He never gives up, I know, but he sooo deserves to have an easier time.

3:47 am

I remeber someone saying to him if he was ok, and he said ok..then they asked if there was anything they could do..and he replied there is nothing anyone can do...did not sound too good...i thought he was just feeling a bit under the weather..not so sure now.

3:49 am

BR used to talk a lot more a few years ago but he is a closed book as to his history and feelings.

3:49 am

From what he has mentioned in the chat log, he has had mental health problems for a long time. Medication is both his help and his enemy and getting the balance right seems to be a real problem.

3:50 am

hi again guys

3:51 am

Hi sandy

3:51 am

hey mitch

3:51 am

I don't think there is any point in trying to get him to open up - he'll only tell you what he wants you to know and only on his terms. I'm sure he knows that we wish him well.

3:51 am

it is a hell of a battle. And BabbleRabble is a valiant warrior. Who deserves peace of mind and no more battle. Well, even if I cannot chat with him, I will think of him and hope for blessings.

3:51 am

I concur Haz.

3:51 am

Hello, sandyloo.

3:51 am

wb sandy

3:52 am

We do wish him well...and i respect that, if he wants to say what he wants to say..that is fine.

3:52 am

Hello, sandylooooooooooo

3:52 am

hi zooz, great to see you getting better

3:53 am

trying sandy..trying.. a bit like trying to climb a greasy pole..but trying :-)

3:54 am

wow that was alot of trying there.

3:54 am

and you keep trying zooz and you will win. OK???!!!

3:54 am

that is what it is all about zooz and we are climbing the greasy pole of life

3:54 am

it is pure butter, zooz. Keep trying. It will melt the butter, and if all else fails, you can sprinkle it with honey and scrape it off with bread :)

3:55 am

otherwise I will have to slap your legs ;)

3:55 am

i am very determind now FM...and I will get there...just takes a bloody long time...one min up ..next down..but hey ho.

3:55 am

Agree with FM, it's safer.

3:55 am

love the icon zooz

3:55 am

oh noooo, i need honey sarnies now..lol

3:55 am

if we didn't have challenges, we would be bored

3:56 am

*grin* don't you just love babble!

3:56 am

Thanks Sandy :-)

3:56 am

BRB

3:56 am

love babble and babblers

3:56 am

yeah, it will take time. Just don't lose faith and you will get there, though. Promise. But you already know that.

3:56 am

lol off to make honey sarnies. I love it.

3:58 am

compound word

4:02 am

Hello, MrP :-)

4:03 am

WTG, FM

4:03 am

4:03 am

I want a honey sandwich

4:04 am

hey sandy... didn't see you there! was it hot in WA today?

4:04 am

4:04 am

4:05 am

Hey..hands off...they are mine...oh ok you can have one...but share it please.

4:05 am

4:06 am

want the kids to get something nice for him... but they just want a new xbox! which I am sure he would love

4:06 am

did you see my question, mrP?

yes, I just answered it I think

4:07 am

LOL pres, I bought my husband a painting for his birthday

i don't want to buy him something, I want the kids to buy something they think he would like!

4:08 am

One that I love

4:08 am

yep you did. Very slow chog indeed today.

sandy, was it a painting you liked too? ;)

4:08 am

xbox sounds really good

4:08 am

it was pres

4:09 am

I think the beat present a father could get is if the children `made` him something..he could treasure that for ever.

the new slim xbox is what he really wants, but I want a Wii!

4:09 am

can they make him something, mrP?

4:09 am

snap, zooz

tetch is so a word!

4:09 am

I have the new Kinect box MrP

Hlllo

Interesting Lynxx

4:15 am

lol Infernal - you can say you don't like it, it's OK

4:15 am

ha

I had a test today and apparently it is not right to complain about someone coughing the entire test and disturbing everyone

4:15 am

how annoying

4:15 am

how frustrating, lady

4:16 am

greetings from insomnia, dear babble friends!

4:16 am

hi trif

Well apparently getting pissed off gets the result from the teacher ''O what about him poor thing'' What he has never heard of cough drops.

4:16 am

Hello, Trif!!

4:16 am

I suppose everyone will be taking the test with the same handicap

4:16 am

hi Trif

4:16 am

howdy!

4:16 am

*hugs Trif* Insomnia is a b*tch. Want me to sing you a lullaby?

I too have cough but ate lots of cough drops and cough meds. And Yes Lynxx there was general grumbling

TRIFFFFFFFFFFFFFS

4:17 am

oh nooo...i mean...how nice

4:17 am

if you run around the block three times you will be able to sleep

4:17 am

I didn't finish the test as I had to re read things so many times so I missed 7 marks.

4:18 am

LOL i remember the densa thing

4:19 am

Trifs I have tried Tentacle does that count?>

4:19 am

isnt there a 'densa' site

4:19 am

do you think you have passed Herin?

4:19 am

Relax, dear Trifioso, when your sleep is just so-so turn on Babble and hear me sing and you'll forget everything... You will sleep with densa dreaming All because of babble theming (or teaming)

4:19 am

sprite, genius!!!!

4:19 am

4:19 am

4:19 am

LOL

4:22 am

a couple of years ago

4:23 am

geesh, I would be afraid to look, lest I find stories others had submitted, uhh, on my behalf?

4:23 am

yes and LoriP is the president of DENSA :)

4:24 am

so hey -- heres some news from the front! I *might* have been asked to dance while I was out with a friend on Saturday night. And I *might* have said yes! A small step, but a good one.

4:24 am

lol you should try http://www.darwinawards.com

4:24 am

Love that site

4:25 am

4:25 am

Didn't say he was "attractive" only that he asked.

4:26 am

try again

4:26 am

he was attracted. That is what counts.

4:26 am

...and you are out and about, that counts too

4:26 am

oh sorry..the chog was not working for me for ages then.

4:26 am

very much so, lyn

4:27 am

Yes. I am no one's idea of "looking" but I went out, and he asked, so I danced.

4:27 am

Good for you Trif...sounds like you had a great evening

4:27 am

verrrrry good. And I just saw you on Flickr and you are beautiful. No kidding.

4:28 am

actually it felt incredibly weird. I felt like I was cheating or something. The last time I went on a date was over 20 years ago.....

4:28 am

enjoy it trif

4:29 am

then take your time, but keep making steps forward. And be sure to tell us all the sordid details!

4:33 am

4:34 am

4:34 am

I think it's a woman, actually....not sure though

4:34 am

mitch, I am very conservative as you well know

4:34 am

especially where my cleaner is concerned :))

4:34 am

oops, no, man. my bad!

4:35 am

no he is male.

4:35 am

enjoy the pizza, lady!

4:35 am

geesh, I had better get a LOT better at telling men from women if I am gonna be out there dancing! LOL

4:35 am

remember the pic of him you emailed to me, I will put it on my icon soon

4:35 am

must be a good drawing then...lol

4:36 am

Trif, wtg girl and well done, takes courage to step outside the old life.

4:36 am

come on Trif, don't worry. If you cannot, it will widen your range of choices!

damn skippy I am

4:36 am

LOL sprite, but I am pretty sure I prefer sausage to taco, if you take my meaning.

4:36 am

yes mitch, that pic of him is gorgeous, not my type but to each her own

4:37 am

I can't wait to see what pic you choose sandy *grin*

4:37 am

*chokes on cup of tea*, what are you saying Spritey

4:37 am

4:37 am

LOL, TRIF

4:37 am

4:38 am

LOL that was a great scene in the movie.

4:38 am

OMG, Crocodile Dundee, LOLOLOL

4:38 am

absolutely!

4:38 am

you ladies are hilarious..lol

4:38 am

i am gonna wake up the kids....gotta remember to laugh quietly at 5 am

4:38 am

Have to admit to watching that film so many times but still makes me laugh and cry.

4:39 am

anything to make you laugh, zooz ;)

4:39 am

best part is you being here to laugh along with us, zooz!

4:39 am

schnapps, sprite!

4:39 am

bye for now, Trif, and I hope you can nap somewhere today. *hugs*

4:39 am

whos going?

4:39 am

I am not leaving, sprite, I only meant I need to laugh more quietly, or it will wake the children

4:39 am

FM: me too. "You call that a knife? THIS is a knife!"

hi FM

4:40 am

*grin*

4:40 am

the scene on the end on the subway platform gets me everytime....snif

4:40 am

oh sorry, me being dense! Glad you are staying, Trif.

4:40 am

hey herin!

4:40 am

DOOR

4:41 am

oh yes, that is a great scene. That big black man with the gentle eyes repeating their words to eachother... beautiful.

4:41 am

OK ZOOZ

4:41 am

So spritey have you got the mechanic sorting the car yet?

4:41 am

I might need to add Crocodile Dundee to my list of "movies I have to watch if I come across them on TV..."

4:42 am

no, still in need of a strong man to give me a push or a boost.

4:42 am

ok..just got my new book i ordered..lots of people here on babble kept talking about it...`The Help` by Kathryn Stockett...hope it is as good as people have been saying it is.

4:43 am

oh, it is, zooz, it really, really is. will be interested to hear how you find it, being male and all

4:43 am

it is, zooz. Let us know!

4:43 am

I will let you know in due course Trif :-)

4:44 am

Oh zooz I bought it too as a result of the talk here and found it such a good read. I have sent my copy to Haz for her to read.

4:44 am

good..sounds promising then.

4:44 am

IT was a great read as a novel but also as a slice of social history and I loved the way it was written.

4:45 am

what is the book about?

4:46 am

if we can have catwoman, why not catmen?

4:46 am

is it heavy, light, emotional, what?

4:46 am

ok i have 52 words to find in todays grid..will be back later to try & finish....been wonderful to see your chats here...take care all....happy babbling

4:46 am

4:46 am

sandy it is all of that but is such a great read.

4:46 am

hi FM

4:47 am

cute sprite, but also a bit of a medical miracle, in this case

4:47 am

yeah, for sure. But the feeling was beautiful :)

4:48 am

Hello lynxxx!

4:49 am

sandy - look on Amazon for an overview of the book but I do reccomend it.

4:49 am

just started reading Romulus my father - it is beautifully written for sure, but I hope it will be uplifting, havent read enough yet

4:52 am

I am trying to read Anathem by Neil Stephenson. It was rather hard for me at the start, it is brilliantly written but it taxes my knowledge of english pretty heavily. Am starting to get into the story though. And am enjoying his play on words.

4:52 am

I must be off now so TTFN and Happy Babbling.

4:52 am

maybe not exactly uplifting but... I was actually speaking to a friend today who was telling me of his parents story ...echoes of Romulus...not so long ago but a totally different world.

4:52 am

bye FM

4:52 am

bye FM, *hugs* and have a wonderful day.

sorry so busy eating pizza

4:53 am

don't hog the pizza, lady. Share a slice. Pretty please with a banana on top?

4:54 am

Lynxx, it must have been you then talking about it on the chog, movie vs book? will watch the movie after the book

4:58 am

did the chat die or are we all busy looking for books?

4:58 am

It was Sandy. My friend mentioned below is actually a friend of Gaita. I met him this year, a very gentle, intelligent and attractive man. You will LOVE the movie, he had a lot of involvement in it and thoroughly approved of it which I understand is unusual

4:59 am

never mind that :)

Sprite I would love to make you a banana choc pizza

5:00 am

shouldn't take me long to read, and I will look forward to the movie,

5:00 am

I think I prefer the hearty ones, lady, but I am willing to try :D

5:02 am

fireflies. Very nice grid! Almost makes me forget how lousy yesterday's was.

5:02 am

Congrats Sprite! (there was a grid yesterday?)

5:03 am

well done as usual sprite

5:05 am

you may have passed it without noticing, lyn, it was that small and easy.

yah sprite

5:06 am

thanks all! Anything I can help with before I go?

5:06 am

The new player finished in a minute! - did take me much longer

5:07 am

if I remember correctly, it was something like 9 minutes for me.

5:07 am

today's was pleasantly challenging though :D

5:08 am

amazing - all of you bright sparks!

5:08 am

You have a lovely day Sprite, see you tomorrow

5:08 am

I liked it but it took me half an hour

5:08 am

6:14 am

6:16 am

doug's going to fix it when he gets home. unless i get industrious and try myself. it's just a matter of putting the pipe back on.

6:20 am

they are wrong at least 20% of the time

I need T's from both outside columns

7:17 am

canvas house

Eva how can they possibly forcast acurately that far in advance

7:18 am

and a word i need to look up

Brilliant, thank you. I do sometimes find your clues very hard to understand.

7:18 am

nono -- i dunno how they do it, but they have an 80-85% accuracy rate!

Something to do with 'two great nations divided by a common language' lol

7:18 am

i love the idea of an autumn wedding because all the TR**s will be changing color

7:18 am

over all it is 80 to 85% but for exact dates it is more 75%

well lets hope this time they are in that other 15 to 20 % range and are wrong!

7:19 am

well a lot of the clue givers are brits jiving

7:19 am

is it going to be outdoors?

7:20 am

for nbt, sould love a clue on the bottom corner S

7:37 am

Thats not so bad I think?

7:38 am

she was a pscho bi polar crazy co dependent bitch who "needed" me to get through her day but she also needs me to be thrown under the bus and routinely accept her verbal abuse ( and it WAS abusive)

7:38 am

oh i had a boss like that once -- it is why i am always the boss now

7:38 am

good job quitting!

7:38 am

LOL that encapsulates it to perfection.

Hi Kat

7:39 am

and the spearation thing..not so bad but... i cant explain it....i feel dirty now...the whole process seems so tawdry

7:39 am

(((car)))

7:39 am

i mean..ur wedding day... all in white...gorgeous flowers...music... blahblah..and this...it feels ick

7:39 am

well protect your assets (says the lawyer) and don't let him get you down (says the friend)

7:40 am

my asset is my house...he racked up debt... i am losing the house

7:40 am

oh no!

7:40 am

my other asset ..my kids..one is 18 the other 14 they with me

7:40 am

Hold onto you sanity and the kids then.

thats awful Carlee, so very sorry hun

7:41 am

its ok..i dont want this house....i will make sure i have enough to get a little bungalow or a cottage in the nearby town

7:41 am

((((carlee))))

7:41 am

well considering in canada they so often give the kids to the dad that is a good outcome

7:41 am

but poor you!

7:41 am

hi feather

hi Feather

7:41 am

kids are better than a house any day

7:41 am

they dont so often give the kids to the dad

7:41 am

hiya

7:42 am

car a new life will be there for you, believe me. Been there and done it twice.

7:42 am

i know of 1

7:42 am

Hi feather and Nono.

7:43 am

hmm, i thought tetch was a word

7:43 am

i know....crap...i swear I feel like my life ... seems like one big rollercoaster ride...you all have seen it all...and i dont think I have had one moment of normacy in the 3 years i have been here

7:43 am

then that is a shift and I am glad to hear it -- my sister had to fight like hell to keep one kid away from abusive dad in canada in the 70s

7:43 am

well you are tetched in the head feather

7:44 am

lol, i always thought so

Feahter how did he undo the elbow thingy?

7:44 am

normalcy is over rated

7:44 am

i'm the one tetched in the head i think

7:44 am

no clue. he just did. stinker.

7:45 am

well join the crowd car *finds a lovely foil cap with blue and yellow feathers for car*

7:45 am

car - I remember back to before the accident and then the hell that has happened but you are young enough to find happiness and contentment again.

Cutge but

7:45 am

you just unscrew the two rings

those elbow traps are easy enough to take off. They are only supposed to be hnad tightened

7:45 am

for those who didn't see earlier, daniel dropped a neosporin cap down the bathroom sink drain, then undid the elbow to try to get it out

Carlee maybe time for that garage sale of crap then.

7:46 am

i still want to know what whale tail/seagull is

has he seen his Dad do it in the past Feather

7:46 am

oh clever Daniel and BAD Daniel - how much is the plumber going to cost?

7:46 am

wtg daniel..that cool

7:46 am

not really nono. he's just an expert at dismantling things!

7:46 am

did he put a bowl under it to catch the water ???

7:47 am

nahh, it's ok, doug will just put it back on tonight. i probably could too, but have other things i need/want to do today. i'm content to wait.

7:47 am

well that can be useful as he ages feather

lol feather that could be a blessing or a curse

JM Whale Tail is when the g-string shows. THink of a whale

7:47 am

there happened to be a bowl there anyway, but it didn't catch it all.

7:47 am

well that was lucky

just put a bucket under it for now feather just in case someone turns the water on

7:48 am

ah that makes sense herin ty I am always happy to learn new things! lol

7:48 am

no kidding. ok, better go, they're happily occupied, this is as good a time as any to install the new dvd player.

7:48 am

u go girl...

7:48 am

have fun feather

7:48 am

good idea nono, thanks. we stuck the bucket upside down in the sink to hide the handles, but extra caution is good.

bye Feather

8:09 am

8:10 am

what glowing fe4 you have Car..lol

8:10 am

laying down the law on who they can bring and who they cannot? as in bringing their 8 kids? lol

8:10 am

Hello, Eva

8:10 am

you can come..but do not sit next to me...lol

8:10 am

well..i no longer hae my other purple feet icon that i had..new comp and since new..reformatted

8:11 am

my soon to be ex likes to spy on my computer... and when i was away camping..i realised it had been tampered with...so..reformatted

8:12 am

passwords are wonderful things

8:12 am

u can bypass that crossy

8:12 am

encrypt the files

8:12 am

dvd's all set up, back for a few more

8:12 am

crossy -- exactly.

8:13 am

not enough on here... he spies on my chat....i no longer even have msn on here...

8:13 am

i have one friend who just had a baby a few weeks ago. she had RSVPed that she would leave the older one at home but may have to bring the baby, since shes still feeding. just had to send her a note saying that i have already told others they cant bring their kids, so i really cant make an exception.

8:13 am

u all can likely say hi to him if you like...

8:13 am

Shame it came to that Car, but it had to be done.

GO Eva finally someone that sticks to their guns

8:14 am

ill pass

8:14 am

i had to do same when i got married...my sis in law just had a newborn...was bringing her

8:14 am

i said NO KIDS...period

8:14 am

we still hate eachother...2o years later

That is like my friends wedding no kids except the flower girls. Which peed me off as they said no kids but my best friend whom was also invited had a then 14 year old so he wasn't a kid kidlet

hi crossie

8:15 am

but am damn happy i had no screaming babies during the wedding

8:15 am

no kids=no kids,it is the brides day and everything else is secondary

8:15 am

we are having our nephews and niece, but thats it. no one elses.

8:15 am

howdy herin

Eva have you thought that you may like to include her in photos but not have kids there. Like photo at another time

8:16 am

v

8:16 am

an

8:16 am

i have no interest in having other peoples kids in my photos. im more interested in my own family for photos.

8:17 am

i have lots of friends with lots of kids. i love them all dearly, but i dont want them at my wedding.

I mean is she family or just a friend?

8:17 am

everyone has to remember,if you want you can still toss the whole thing down the crapper and elope if it gets to be too much of a pain

8:17 am

just a friend.

8:18 am

heh, thanks for the reminder, crossy. ;)

I meant maybe at another time more appropriate you could through a friends and family gathering. A byo plate and food kind of thing like a post recieption thing later when there is time and money

8:19 am

my niece ( the new born iwouldnt allow at my wedding) just got married last fall....they could not decide on anything for a wedding..but had already planned a weekend in niagara falls...decided..lets get married there...and the family all met there for a weekend

8:19 am

we have gatherings often enough where we allow the kids. just had a huge cookout/party last year. my wedding is the one time im saying no kids.

8:20 am

:o) eva

That is great Eva. I think I am trying to say a not wedding later. Take photos chuck in an album that kind of thing and yes I totally agree to no kids.

9:12 am

I really am beginning to wonder what masochistic tendancies I have that make me do this grid daily

it's addiction!

9:13 am

Don't forget, ruru, you did try to stop.

9:13 am

Half a day was it?

9:13 am

that's true haz... silly me

9:13 am

I agree with George ..... and of course the company is a great reason to stop by

9:14 am

no I made it three..lol

9:14 am

I remember the whole scenario, people weeping into their keyboards, begging you not to go. You went. Then you came back.

9:14 am

9:14 am

I really want scatter to work..

10:00 am

Whatevr happened to reading a map and asking passers-by?

10:00 am

Whatever happened to my spelling?

10:01 am

can't keep up with all the new tech.. funny thing happened at a luncheon the other day.. lady at our table needed to have the attention of the room.. dinging on the cup didn't work when another lady pulls out her "droid" and said...I have an app for that! - and she did! Pressed an "alarm" button.. got everyone's attention.. almost fell off my chair laughing

10:02 am

I am easily amused..

10:02 am

Those phones scare me - one touch and you could launch a space shuttle or something.

10:03 am

lol, so true, Haz!

10:03 am

I know, Haz. I have enough problems just using a plane old cell phone without all the bells and whistles

10:04 am

At least with 'proper' phones you have to press hard on the buttons, just being able to touch a screen seems fraught with dangers. And it's even worse when you have to get your reading glasses on to see the blessed thing.

10:04 am

hello everybody, maybe a few words before dinner

10:04 am

maybe evan a plain* one

10:04 am

It's ages since I've been able to use Mr Garfunkel.

10:14 am

sorry thats the wrong word

10:14 am

So is mine.

Poor ruru - women leading him down garden paths.

10:16 am

Oh well back to the stove. Good luck folks.

10:16 am

can't get the garfunkel clue!!! duh

10:16 am

In terms of weather it was better than last year - but then nothing could be worse than last year! My older daughter has got engaged, my younger daughter has moved back home from Edinburgh and I've had my gall bladder out. Pretty uneventful really.

10:16 am

bon appetit! deeha

10:16 am

good luck with your dinner, Deeha.. sounds wonderful

10:17 am

ruby, it's for a different word - French without plus the start of Mr Garfunkel (sa6/18)

10:17 am

but everyone is now in good health?

10:17 am

aha! ty haz

10:17 am

Oh, fighting fit. I had keyhole surgery just over two weeks ago and it was a breeze.

10:18 am

good...if all is healthy the rest is just.... noise

10:18 am

Such a different operation to what it used to be.

10:18 am

not finding the sa 6/.21

10:18 am

that is amazing, haz! when my mother had that surgery, granted, a very long time ago, it was a huge deal and left a "railroad track" scar

10:19 am

got it aloy.. thank you

10:19 am

good morning all

10:19 am

hello boo

10:19 am

sa6/21 s plus first letters of Queen's daughter (two letters) then mix up a feline.

10:19 am

ah, wtg ruru

10:19 am

hi Boo

10:19 am

I know, my mother had it in 1966 - two weeks in hospital and as you say, a huge scar.

10:19 am

hi Boobear!

10:20 am

I think my mother had the surgery in the 40's, after I was born

10:21 am

my mother in law it a few years ago...

10:21 am

I'm very glad that some bright spark thought up the whole concept of keyhole surgery, it makes recovery so much easier.

10:21 am

and no scar!

10:21 am

How is everyone today

10:22 am

it is 22C and perfect here! after two very cold days

10:22 am

4 little cuts, ruby which are all healed. With a bit of make-up I'm sure I'll be able to return to my bikini-modelling work.

Hello everyone!

10:22 am

phantom: canvas!

10:22 am

Hello boo and red!

10:22 am

glad to hear that, haz!

10:22 am

we are still enjoying delightfully hot and humid temps....

10:22 am

hello red

10:22 am

hi rth

10:23 am

hi Red

10:23 am

hi there red

10:24 am

Poor ruby, you will have to learn that I'm joking most of the time! The idea of me modelling bikinis is .. well, we'll not think about it!

hi everyone. Our weather has improved dramatically. its 28 C or 82 and the humidity is well...it is what it is. feels awesome

10:24 am

carlee: your profile is brilliant!!!!

10:24 am

same for us today rth

haz, I am sure you would look lovely in a binkini, you just have to choose the right one!

10:24 am

I figured that haz, bikini modelling would take up too much time to babble as welol

10:25 am

Hi red

10:25 am

it is ruby.... <gone to check profile>

10:25 am

A full length, extreme lycra bodysuit might be the way to go.

10:25 am

do you write full-time, carlee?

Carlee, what did you do for your daughters first day of High school?

10:26 am

for me, a chador would be appropriate or even a burka (except in France I'd be arrested!)

10:26 am

oh man..i wrote that well over a year ago..and no....unless u count transcription

10:26 am

I'm impressed, anyway, carlee

10:26 am

oh... i took her and her girlfriend to tim hortons then she was off with her mates

I have a tankini, its essentially a regular suit made into two pieces...

10:27 am

phantom: savant

10:27 am

thanks ruby...

Well, that would definitely make me happy Carlee, I LOVE TIM Hortons.

10:27 am

I'm skinny, but look HORRIBLE in a bathing suit!

10:27 am

and can't swim anyway

Ruby, you can not swim at all?

10:28 am

i'm not skinny and i look horrid in a swimsuit...do i care..no...over that..rbing on the chocolate cake

10:28 am

I could use some chocolate cake!!!!

I really dont know how I look in a swim suit, but I have to wear one to get into the pool....so I do.

10:29 am

( putting my killer choco cake in PB)

10:29 am

only if I put on a mask and snorkel and am in 3 ft of warm ocean

10:29 am

rth...u liking this grid?

I feel so pleased with myself I just ate an enormous salad for lunch.

10:29 am

otherwise, I sink like a stone

OK, ruby so you know how to swim....like you could save self from drowning.

10:29 am

and I don't eat salad, just make it for husband

I want to go snorkleing in the Florida keys. But I am a little afraid I will get stung by something...

10:30 am

no, only if I was wearing a mask and snorkel....lol

So far Carlee I have found 72 words...not sure. How are you?

10:30 am

when I lived in Miami, I used to snorkel in the Keys and in the Bahamas. But I usually needed somebody to hold my hand

10:30 am

i just had an enormous piece of choc cake for breakie ( tried a new recipe..is to die for...and i had been having a craving for 4 weeks)...the recipe made twice the ammount of cake i wanted/ needed,,,i can a: eat it b: not eat it and let it dry out and pitch it

10:31 am

not liking...am at 89 words found

eat it carlee. eat it no need to waste perfectly good choco cake!!!

10:31 am

found 111 words but seem to have hit a wall and have to go cook risotto for the pups

10:31 am

so...i am essentially eating cake for breakfast lunch and dinner these days

10:31 am

Good morning everyone!

10:31 am

did you have a glass of milk with it? Then it sounds like the perfect breakfast!!!!

10:32 am

it is physically impossible to make too much chocolate cake ... there is no such concept

10:32 am

i had a huge mug of steaming coffee

hi doseffing and hello Champ. Champ is the S for syracuse?

10:32 am

Now I want cake. It's communicable

10:32 am

this is good, the chog is making me hungry! Thank you one and all

10:32 am

see you later

10:32 am

hi Champ

Hi everyone. Carlee, when I have too much cake (does not compute) I freeze some of it and eat it another day.

10:33 am

No, my first name is Susan. When I was a kid, it was Super Susan!

10:33 am

hi and bye bichon, see you after din

I want some coffee now.

10:33 am

it takes up almost a whole shelf in my fridge... but oh man..we on day 3 and it is still amazing...i willpost the link for the recipe to my profile...

10:33 am

sally..i would but i have no room in my freezer

10:33 am

hello Super Susan and hi and bye Sally

Ahhh ok Super susan. I was able to run 8 miles today all with a fairly even (albeit slow) pace! only one moment of bad pain in the recovering achilles!!!

Even if you cut it up in portions?

10:34 am

BTW, Sally, the fish cavort on top of the sally-nets!

10:34 am

no sally...we have had some great sales on chicken beef and shrimp up here... my freezer is chuck full

10:34 am

AWESOME!!! Yesterday I did 2 min run, 2 min walk, and managed a 4 miler pain free! Still sore after, but not too bad. 8 miles is a long way away for me!

Doesn't that make them vulnerable to the heron?

10:34 am

and let's don't talk pace!!1

10:34 am

*poof*

thats awesome, and please lets dont talk pace. Are you sure you and your coaching group dont want to join up on thedailymile.com??

10:35 am

they don't seem to care! I think the bronze heron on the side of the basin has been a help

i'm glad your pain is resolving.

10:35 am

I need to check that out!

10:36 am

champ: I was a runner from age 42 -47, ran races and everything and I think, in the end, that's why I survived cancer!!!!

its a nice interctive training log....

10:36 am

Thanks, yours too. Was talking to a friend who's been fooling with her achilles for 2 years. Misdiagnosed at first...

10:36 am

I walk 2 miles a day with my dog and no more. I do keep a quick pace

10:36 am

Ruby, it will keep you sane, won't it?

bichon, i think walking is great exercise.

10:36 am

Wish I could keep a good walking pace. Don't think I have it in me.

yes, so many injuries are tricky buggers.

10:37 am

I used to love it; my son made tapes for me of fast rock and roll and it was as good as dancing. Unfortunately, my orthopedist says "No more"

10:37 am

ok..rec ipe added after ode

Ooh good, carlee. Goes to pinch recipe.

10:38 am

walking is great if there are no DOGS!!!!

10:38 am

*real poof*

10:38 am

yes, I have bursitis and everything makes my hip hurt

10:38 am

How's the hubby? And what's up with the dog? Is he out of doggie prison, or in?

10:38 am

(you really are my twin, bichon)

10:38 am

it is the BEST choco cake i have ever had...do NOT over cook

10:39 am

he is coming out of dog jail and the mayor lacks the power to have him put down. Dog's owner approached husband again today.

10:39 am

I can trace most of my physical problems to pushing strollers up hills in the Bay Area

10:39 am

I had better make dinner or dogs and husband will bite ME!

10:39 am

bichon, my friend had hip pain, and an MRI last week showed 2 bulging discs.

Has dog's owner explained why he didn't stop to help when dog bit husband, apart from anything else?

10:40 am

no

10:40 am

My otho thinks it bursitis. I'm supposed to be doing strengthening and stretching, but I am lapse

10:40 am

Heading out with <--------- the dog for a walk. Bye for now!

10:40 am

dogs owner is a moron?!

10:41 am

~~~~~~~~ <----- waving bye to imaginary haz

10:41 am

bichon, that's what they told me for my plantar. Rest is a good thing.

10:41 am

It's amazing how so many normal people go crazy when they get a dog

10:41 am

I have planta but I keep that under control by stretching

10:41 am

*plantar

10:42 am

I was just thinking how bad the dogs are shedding right now. Hard to keep up with the mess, but I don't have the heart to put them out in the heat and humidity.

10:43 am

cats are too..i never have to brush my cats..this year...i am brushing..either that or hairball puke

10:43 am

I take mine with me early in the AM so he and I can manage. He's 16 1/2 and I'm 64

I had bursitis in one of my hips gosh 7-8 years aog, I was sure I needed a hip replacement, its painful Bichon!

10:43 am

Mine isn't that painful, just annoying.

10:45 am

what did you do for it red?

ice motrin and it eventually went away.

10:46 am

hmmm, done all that. It's not that bad, but I know it's there

every once in a while I get a flare, so I rest and it goes away. I have some hip issues, the thingy that holds the hip in place is very loose and I can dislocate it, like on demand.

10:47 am

that sounds like it might sting a bit. I have that with my knee

10:48 am

ok..1/2 way....gone to read....am enjoying my day of cave later all

10:48 am

6:29 pm

Hi Dan. I liked your FB comment about overhearing a 3 yr old screaming for the iPad.

6:29 pm

How is she doing, Feather?

6:30 pm

i heard a slight snicker from her at one point. although, that could have been just normal human reaction to another person still laughing hysterically. (me.)

6:32 pm

Did she not realize that the handcuffs were authentic, or was it too late? And what has Daniel's reaction been?

6:33 pm

no, she thought they were a toy. he was pretending to put her in jail. had them on his wrist too, but of course he slipped right out of them. he was truly sorry, didn't mean to really lock her up.

6:36 pm

Onec one of my nephews, spending the weekend with me, at about age6 or 7, was mad at me and, unbeknownst to me, called 911. When a Sheriff's car pulled into the driveway Peter started crying + told me what he did. The officer talked to him about what 911 is really for.

6:38 pm

yeah, nick's done the 911 thing, earlier this spring. sheesh, one calls 911, the other handcuffs grandma!

6:39 pm

Little boys, well, all boys are rascally. My sister has 3, now 16, 20 + 22.

this morning, he dropped a cap down the sink, and decided he'd get it himself, by detaching the elbow below. then this afternoon, grandma was babysitting, didn't know the handcuffs were real when he was playing police and taking her to jail, and thus locked grandma up. she had to call me to ask where the key was, and did NOT see the humor in it yet. perhaps her mental visions of going to the police station and being cut out of them were interfering. anyway, key was found, grandma rescued, daniel contrite, all is well.

7:17 pm

<snorting up cosmo slushie hurts>

7:17 pm

lmao, serves ya right carlee!

7:17 pm

i've been laughing about it all day..but it still cracks me up

7:17 pm

How old is Daniel, feather?

7:17 pm

roflmao... that is TOO classic!

7:18 pm

he's 6

7:18 pm

i had to compose myself when calling grandma back to tell her where the key was. doug thought i was crying, i was in such hysterics when i called him to ask!

7:18 pm

so as i see it..it is not my own fault i snorted cosmos..is daniels fault for being bloody hillarious

7:19 pm

So if he can disassemble an elbow, hire him out as a plumber and you can retire.

7:19 pm

lol, there ya go

7:19 pm

his latest "thing" is he wants to be a car mechanic, plans on living a few houses down the street, and will fix all my cars for free.

7:19 pm

8:56 pm

Just got rid of internet services because I HATE them

8:56 pm

i said-- since the cable guy always shows ups 4 hours late that means i should wait until midnite before I call to complain?

8:56 pm

i am in the process of dropping their internet which was so-so and their phones which have not worked in 3 months (but since I was gone more than a month i didn't really care)
