2:27 am

hi herin

Night FLossy

Hi Andree

andree pupy is too cute

2:31 am

isn't he

Andree

2:32 am

hugo is adorable!

Do you know anything about those idiotic smart metere?

2:33 am

metere?

opps Metre

meter

2:35 am

no herin

The meter people changed it off a smart meter and I am wondering if that is going to affect the bill in the past

2:36 am

must be a victoria thing, nothing smart about our meters

2:36 am

jean

2:36 am

all our bills have been much higher than last year

2:37 am

sorry, more coffee in the pbb i hope?

I was just wondering.

Ruby you can stay I didn't ahve that

2:39 am

I'm not swift this AM (or, i.e. less swift than usual)

2:40 am

lol ruby, i haven't been swift for years

2:40 am

can you keep up with Hugo?

2:41 am

62 words and I had better get dressed or the nagging will start!

2:42 am

*poof*

2:42 am

only just, he tends to pull me along, i am trying to teach him to walk to heel, he is winning

2:42 am

heel? a chow chow would say"You want me to do what?"

ANdree use your mum voice and train the dog

2:45 am

i am trying herin, we go to obedience classes, until he can heel and stand its kindergarten forever

awww

he just is determined

2:45 am

I think the dogs could be trained, but husband refuses, wants them to have "fee will" which is OK asa long as a car isn't coming

2:46 am

free*

2:48 am

i sort of 1/2 agree with him ruby, hugo is 1/2 spaniel and dashing about sniffing the ground is in his nature, this heeling is not

2:48 am

it's just easier to walk a dog who will "stay" when asked

2:48 am

when Ruby walks with me, she is much better behaved

My parents dog is 9 or 10 and she is a pig headed Staf that has not grown out of puppy stafe

stage

2:49 am

they have a big enclosed garden and can do what they like in it, but in the street, it's different

2:49 am

he will sit, stay, stop etc , its the heel and stand that will keep us in kindy for the rest of our days

2:50 am

staffs are so cute! big heads and smart

awwww

Have you tried a new command? Like parkarse

2:50 am

sit, stay and stop are enough. Heel is asking too much!

2:51 am

hugo agrees with you ruby

2:51 am

hahah

2:51 am

real poof

Loves Ruby

3:03 am

5:36 am

it is beautiful here! cool sunshine, did all my cooking this AM as I've realized that if I don't do it in the morning, I don't do it!

5:36 am

trying to finish the c s

5:36 am

My dad was a carpenter and I remember all the new immigrants from Europe in the 50s, msome of whom he worked with - it is interesting to relate to those times and what they went through when they came out

5:36 am

zooz, I want a jam donut

5:37 am

come here, zzoozz, I make a little more jam every day, yesterday, two pots of plum!

5:37 am

take it back and complain Zooz!

5:37 am

You can have a donut Ruby..but i cannot say if they have jam or not..lol

5:37 am

but the proof is already digested!

5:37 am

lynxx, my mum was bought up on a sheep station and aunties owned stations where we went for school holidays - a lot in the book is so familiar to me

5:38 am

I can`t Lynxxx..i ate it all..trying to find the jam..LOl

5:38 am

where were most of the immigrants from, Lynxx?

5:38 am

You are going to love the detail in the movie Sandy, like enamel mugs etc

5:39 am

Americans escaping the nuclear threat of the 50's?

5:39 am

what book, what movie,?

5:39 am

Italy, Rumania, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland & Germany (the latter jewish in the main)

it is called Romulus, My Father about a boy being raised in the 1950 s

5:39 am

5:45 am

now that I've met all you Australian ladies, I have become interested. It is amazing how often there are relevant programs on Fr TV

5:46 am

hahah, I used my great beauty ((hahahah)) tyo wind up in the countryside. And a bat came in the bedroom -- again!

5:46 am

Hi Anyone I missed

7:54 am

*Greetings

7:54 am

hi Judy

7:54 am

Hi Ciocia July

7:54 am

Judy*

7:54 am

{{Herin}} hello

7:54 am

va

7:54 am

well, it looks like the typing is pretty tough today!! LOL

7:55 am

for me it is, Ciocia

7:55 am

ge

7:55 am

hmmmm need to find out what french stew is

7:55 am

I'm going to have that mixture tomorrow for breakfast...thanks, CJ and scrabbs

MOoooooooom

7:56 am

i had a banana with peanut butter

7:56 am

and i have milk. and an apple for later...

I am trying to work out if I need food or if I am bored

7:56 am

Annie, make sure it's the regular oats, not the instant

7:56 am

Back from phone call. Judy--I love uncooked oatmeal.

7:56 am

CJ, okay, I have regular oats...thanks

7:57 am

funny, I don't like cooked oatmeal at all

7:57 am

I had a phone call from my unreliable friend that always changes our plans...so she is doing something else today.

7:58 am

ooh, i hate friends like that. drives me nuts.

7:58 am

Yes, what is French for stew or a French stew?

7:58 am

thanks Annie, got it

7:58 am

Not very nice, Scrabs, unless it is something very important.

Scrabbler I have a single friend (that I cut off because of this attitude) that put a post up of ''going to X bring your singles'',

7:59 am

ragout

7:59 am

Eva, she makes me so frustrated, especially because she knows I am a planner that does not like spontaneous changes in plans. I try to focus on her great qualities but sometimes she makes me crazy.

7:59 am

that is French stew

8:00 am

i had a friend who was similar. she would either change plans, or else just run so late for everything that it ended up making our plans change. for various reasons, we arent friends anymore...

Scrabbler think of it this way. One day for you what do you want to do? Hike, swim play with bunnies

8:01 am

Example: June vacation planned with 4 women. One became ill the night before we were to leave so this friend I speak of calls the next morning and opts out--just didn't feel like going!

That is sad Scrabbler

8:02 am

not nice at all, scrabbs..

8:02 am

Morning Babblers.

Hi Wht

8:03 am

morning wht

8:03 am

hi wht

I have people that cancel on me I do my thing for the day

8:03 am

hi wht

8:03 am

morning Wht

8:03 am

I waited several days to see if she would pay her portion of the cost of the rental. FInally I called and told her what her portion was.

8:03 am

I should be on the road today taking my son back to college but he is still in his room packing.

8:03 am

i had once taken a half day from work so we could leave early to head to the beach (a 2-3 hour drive). when i get home, my friend calls to say her roommates cat got out and they were looking for it. we ended up leaving for the beach AFTER the time we would have left if i hadnt bothered to take a half day. i think its great that she wanted to help find the roommates cat, but not when we already had plans. and i ended up wasting leave because of it.

8:03 am

Yikes, Scrabs. Did she pay up?

Eva I would have helped look for the kitty did the kitty come back?

8:04 am

Yes, she didn't even argue, BUT with a subsequent vacation she decided against leaving a day early "because I don't want to pay if I am not staying."

8:05 am

yes, kitty was fine.

That is just me. I would have helped look for the kitty

8:05 am

Scrabs, sounds like it's more work than enjoyment with planning anything with her

8:06 am

She must gave other good attributes Scrabs, I don't think I could be bothered with her

8:06 am

She is hilarious + kind but also thoughtless + selfish. And, yes, I must accept that plans with her are always subject to change at any time.

8:07 am

herin, in theory, i probably would have too. but this gal was always late for everything. we were also supposed to do the same trip for my bday one year, but it ended up snowing. instead of saying up front "hey, if it snows, i cant go because i need to be here for XYZ reasons" she waited until it was basically too late for me to make any other plans, then said she couldnt go. so i ended up spending my birthday at home by myself.

8:07 am

I am starting to feel us parting somewhat in our close friendship. And, should I tell her why? All of us that are friends have the same difficulty with her.

8:07 am

Poor Eva.

8:07 am

It seems the older I get the less tolerance I have for time-consuming people in my life

:( I would have partied with you

8:08 am

I agree, Judy. But this is my only kayaking + hiking pal here.

8:08 am

Maybe just don't invite her on the extended vacations and limit her to dinners and parties where it doesn't matter as much

8:08 am

Wow, Eva. That wasn't very nice!! Babblers would be happy to party anytime! LOL

8:09 am

that was the final event that caused the end of our friendship. i had called her several times throughout the day asking if she was still going to be able to go, and she wouldnt give me a straight answer. finally, when it was too late, she called and said she wasnt going, so needless to say, i was rather short with her. SHE actually broke off the friendship with ME because she thought i was rude to her and not understanding of her responsibilities!

8:09 am

I think that someone else needs to make plans that include her so that she can't make the changes. She tends to arrange group dinners or tennis matches.

8:10 am

Selfish, thoughtless people just don't get it, Eva.

8:10 am

I know - Scrab & Evas friends can get together!

8:10 am

I know the feeling of losing a kitty. I would have helped to look for the cat and hope my friend would understand.

8:11 am

This friend of mine is a rather bossy person, at least that is how I see it, because I try to be fair + thoughtful.

8:11 am

i would have understood the cat thing if it werent the sort of thing that would happen time + time again to her. at that point, i was just SO ANGRY that she did it yet again, and that i wasted leave because of her.

I had to leave this male friend as he was rather offensive and he didn't get that I wasn't going to leave my b.f for him.

8:12 am

hello again everybody

8:12 am

Hi Ruby

8:13 am

8:17 am

thank you

8:18 am

ty ruby an lynxx for the h's

8:18 am

there was a big article in the Herald Tribune about camels in Australia. It was interesting that there are the most feral camels there than anywhere else in the world!

It is raining and Lucius is on the edge

Yep Ruby

8:18 am

camel milk anyone? eeeew

8:19 am

Camels in Oz? I never knew.

8:19 am

good morning

8:19 am

Hi m9

8:19 am

good morning M9

8:19 am

they were brought there to build inland roads etc and then were left in the bush

8:19 am

hi m9

8:20 am

and they got their revenge by breeding like crazy!

8:20 am

Interesting

8:20 am

sounds like a really, REALLY bad rock band: Feral Camels

8:20 am

Haha

8:20 am

thank you! ruby! never would have gotten those he's w/o going bad

8:20 am

and they would spit at their fans (the band!)

8:21 am

oh yeah.

8:21 am

or bald

8:21 am

the camels, too, actually

8:21 am

annie going bad! Sounds like the name of an x-movie

8:22 am

that would work for a band name too!LOL

8:22 am

hahaha

8:22 am

we'll promote it in babble

8:22 am

There are so many odd names for bands.

8:23 am

maybe we can train the feral camels to stomp on the feral cane toads and the feral rabbits and feral pigs

I had a good dinner and now I am thinking food again lee sigh

Lynxx feral pigs or bush pigs ::P

8:23 am

my son is in a Thin Lizzy tribute band and also plays with a blues singer named (really) Orange Jefferson

8:23 am

feral pigs

never mind

8:24 am

are feral pigs like wild boar?

8:24 am

I remember hearing somewhere that one of the problems new rock bands have is that the good band names have already been taken.

8:24 am

tasty?

8:24 am

I know Infernal

8:24 am

yes Ruby

8:24 am

Maybe we can start the Babble Band Naming Service.

Ruby no and not really tastey

8:24 am

oh right wht... what happened to creativity?

8:24 am

I'm sure we'd come up with great ones!

Ruby usually full of disease and worms

8:25 am

I don't much like wild boar although they serve it in restaurants here

8:25 am

Great moments of creativity like "The Beatles"????

8:25 am

eeewwww

Just like most Kangaroos

8:26 am

Wild Boar would make a perfectly find band name.

8:26 am

I didn't know that about kangaroos so I guess I'll change my mind about adopting one!

8:26 am

i think the trick to naming a rock band is to put 2 disparate words together and add a number eg pigworm three

8:26 am

oh yeah... "we can't name our band... 'cause names like The Beatles are already taken!!"

Hi Gort.

8:26 am

Hi Gortmold

8:26 am

hey herin, hey everyone

Farm roos and deer are edible

8:27 am

hi Gort

8:27 am

is that a band? pinworm 3??

8:27 am

or Led Zeppelin! taken, I guess I won't be a rock star after all......

8:27 am

Actually, I was thinking that, actually, The Beatles is a pretty lame band name.

8:27 am

pigworm 3... i just invented it based on the chog

8:27 am

Live, in Madison Square Garden, it's The Babblers!! *crowd is on their feet, screaming*

8:27 am

i think they're a death metal band

8:28 am

maybe they should say, the problem with naming bands is that all the good gym teachers are taken.... aka lynyrd skynyrd

8:28 am

annie and the bad babblers!

8:28 am

Annie and the bad brooklyn babblers!

8:28 am

8:29 am

Penalty Box Seekers

10:12 am

if you have it with vodkan, it becomes a nicely balanced meal! hahah

10:12 am

I don't eat properly (no kidding)

10:13 am

moving water is a dam

10:13 am

popcorn is nasty with sugar!

10:13 am

i like kettle corn..

10:13 am

trapped woater is a dam.. moving water is a stream or ?

10:14 am

I am good at making diets for others, just not for myself.

10:14 am

what is kettle corn?

10:14 am

ty got it

10:14 am

just drinking smoothie with avocado pit! beet, ginger, cucumber, mustard greens, celery, ginger, etc

10:14 am

yay! half at last

10:15 am

and babs should be an icon for us all!!!!!

10:15 am

love smoothies especially strawberry banana

10:15 am

how do you blend an avocado pit ?

10:15 am

kettle corn is a sweet coated popcorn, but it's very lightly sweet... and not granules...

10:15 am

I am craving American junk food

10:15 am

avacodo pit??

10:15 am

or any American food, actually!

10:16 am

I am craving real French Cheese

10:16 am

have a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup ruby

10:16 am

how's that for american?

10:16 am

I made tomato soup last night...lol

10:16 am

good idea, m9! I can even get Heinz ketchup, TG!

10:17 am

you MADE tomato soup? I thought it only came in a can!

10:18 am

yep. I make everythign from scratch

10:18 am

OK, ruru, you bring me a T-bone, and I'll fix you an array of French cheeses -- you'll just have to eat them outside on the deck!!!

10:18 am

when my FIL was a poor young man... he used to go into a diner and ask for a cup of hot water.. which they'd give him for free.. then he'd squeeze ketchup into and make "soup".. for free.. and read whatever paper someone left on tables.

10:19 am

Had some smoked gouda last night. num...

10:19 am

gouda isn't gooda for you

10:19 am

m9, that sounds like a good plan. Almost as good as carrying your own roach and putting it into the food at the end of your meal

10:19 am

gouda sounds gouda to me

10:20 am

I am really stuck here

10:21 am

on which ruru??

10:21 am

ooops. (joins M9 in PB for drinks)

10:21 am

I have just figured out a way to make eggplants which suits me perfectly. Generally, I cook vegetables 'til they are dead, but I can bake eggplant with a lot of olice oil, cumin, garlic and salt and it is wonderful

10:21 am

nice to have the company ruru!!

10:22 am

If you brush on olive oil ruby they won't be mushy

10:22 am

and salt them first

10:22 am

avocado pits blend in 3HP blenders only... as they say don't try this at home (on smaller horse power blenders)

10:22 am

I'll bring the cheeese! Does anybody like reblochon? It's the famous local cheese (Prince Charles' favorite)

10:23 am

seriously?? avacado pits???

10:23 am

amazing babs I never knew that

10:23 am

I like eggplants mushy, not mushy, burnt, not burnt, all good

10:23 am

my dad used to make the best egg plant parmesian..

10:23 am

send your dad over!

10:24 am

sorry... he died some time ago (would have been 100 years old a few weeks ago!).. but I make it pretty well too..

10:24 am

I never knew how to cook them except for baba ganoush, but now I am eating them all the time

10:24 am

I have so much eggplant from our 2 little plants - its crazy - need more suggestions

10:25 am

wow.. were you the baby of the family m9?

10:25 am

he got the recipe from our neighbor 2 doors down. an italian guy that was a baker at the local grocery store.. and then started his own catering business.

10:25 am

seriously...just starting to make some of the recipes that Jeff Primack has in his books--Qi Gong guy who is into healing with foods...

10:25 am

oh, I'm sorry, m9. My dad would have been 100 in 2008

10:25 am

yes ruru.. my dad didn't get married until he was 32 and then they had 9 kids spread over 20 years..

10:25 am

clues for top row e?

10:25 am

wow

10:26 am

they sure saw a lot of change in their lifetimes, eh ruby?

10:26 am

that sounds interesting, Babs! Unfortunately, like everything and everyone else in this flat, our blender is a wuss.

10:26 am

no wonder he lived for so long.. that's a lot of sex

10:26 am

river: slice the eggplant (1/2"), dredge in olive oil with cumin, salt and dried garlic, then bake

10:26 am

babs, weird...

10:26 am

I wish you could have seen my dad and the neighbor talking food and recipes in the alley.LOL their names were Fred and George and they were both round.

10:27 am

Nancy Boy..you can still blend greens and fruits with water and have great nutrition--much more vitality than cooking everything

10:27 am

sorry ruru... they had separate bedrooms since i was very little.

10:27 am

will try that this weekend - thanks ruby

10:27 am

hey NB!!!

10:27 am

not all the time apparently m9..lol

10:28 am

river: OR: pierce with a fork and bake until it collapses, then scrape out flesh, put in blender with whole garlic cloves, cumin, olive oil, salt and lemon juice. Serve with pita

10:28 am

oh yeah...I'm a huge fan of raw veg. Goes with the vegan territory, I think. Or maybe I'm just too lazy to cook...

10:28 am

Hey, M9 :) ...interesting icon

12:20 pm

shoving salad into my face and attacking grid simultaneously.. haz, pini.

12:20 pm

ve x2, vi x2 -- missing?

12:21 pm

Dorens, Dorens, Dorens. You are surely not shoving salad into your face. Did ruru teach you nothing?

12:21 pm

va4/7 twice

12:21 pm

Plus another vi.

12:21 pm

ooh -- found the girl's name

12:21 pm

he taught me about a very very nice wine that I am about to order a case of. and it costs far more than anything i am ussed to buying

12:21 pm

124/50 -- now I can list :)

12:22 pm

(and when alone in one's office, it is perfectly acceptable to shove salad!!-- i hope)

12:22 pm

Will your children go shoeless and without food as a result?

12:22 pm

tea time --- bbl

12:22 pm

fortunately they are grown and on their own! so no, they won't. and neither will I. and i will enjoy the heck out of it and fondly remember a lovely lunch with ruru

12:23 pm

hello again

12:23 pm

Excellent!

12:23 pm

Hello, roby.

12:23 pm

hi ruby

12:26 pm

this is a deceptively simple grid -- at least for me!

12:26 pm

I don't think I'll even reach 100

12:26 pm

dunno.. just began a little while ago. but i shall prevail!

12:27 pm

(since I have this obnoxious addiction/compulsion)

12:29 pm

funny... when I was out on the west coast, twice I got seduced by great wine and then went to finish the grid at 10 pm and got "flipped" Hard to remember the time difference when you've had a glass or two of delicious wine, surrounded by amusing family members. so babble did take a bit of a back seat - and it was vacation after all.

12:31 pm

Well, as long as you can live with yourself...

12:33 pm

ah, sometimes it is so difficult, though

12:33 pm

afternoon babblers... naptime?

12:33 pm

Those feelings of guilt, those plummeting rankings.

12:34 pm

far from it evaN.

12:34 pm

Hello, EvaN - nap away.

12:34 pm

well haz, when it happens i just need to remember what I counsel my students. forgive myself, and try to be careful not to make the same mistake twice (which I managed to do, but blame it on the wine!)

12:35 pm

so, i just cut up an apple to have with some peanut butter, but now its not what i want. ::sigh::

12:35 pm

I just worry what you'll be like when you get a case of ruru's wine.

12:35 pm

i'll take it gladly evaN, my salad wasn't satisfying

12:35 pm

my leftover quesadilla casserole was quite yummy. :)

12:36 pm

ha, haz. not much better, I'm afraid. However, I do know the time that flip occurs here on the east coast, so it shouldn't present a big babble problem

12:36 pm

Spangle barking outside, I must investigate.... enjoy the grid!

12:36 pm

enjoy spangle, haz... and the evening

12:37 pm

OK, 100, and good night everybody!

12:37 pm

*ppof*]

12:37 pm

poof*

12:37 pm

night ruby.. and congrats on your 100

3:37 pm

I'm already double jointed all over!

3:37 pm

Small = cuddly. Work it.

3:38 pm

LOL Chugga. So is my boyfriend, so you still have competition ;)

i.... skinny but still have abs BEAT THAT :OP

oh! youre 20! wow

3:40 pm

well you know I HATE (love) to brag, but if we weren't vegans, I'd be grating cheese on my loved one's abs as we speak ;) As for me, well, a few sit-ups wouldn't kill me.

ok you got me

well im younger than you so i guess thats even worse

3:41 pm

pb for NB!!!!!

3:41 pm

shouldn't have talked about your food choices......

3:43 pm

oooh, you're right, M9! My apologies ;) Chugga, I thought you were older! Especially if you're getting so far with no list - genius!

well im 18 and ive been playing word games since i was like 9

I feel like I'm interrupting a speed dating party!

3:45 pm

LOL Pinny! I thought it was a competition of manliness ;) so he definitely won!

well, you all sound hot to me ;)

people don't even know i'm gay.. except when i get excited.. a few gay tendencies surface

when i get excited, i sleep with guys too... :D

3:46 pm

lol, Pinny. Tramp!

3:47 pm

co 7/36?

3:47 pm

LOL! This is all just too funny...

he he he

a place where a band(s) play live

(co7/36)

3:48 pm

rofl!

3:48 pm

ty Chugg

for co 8 add a vowel to the end

3:49 pm

3:49 pm

I have 2 co 8's what are stats for the other 2 please and thank you

3:49 pm

1 to go...

shes right judi

3:50 pm

i sleep with guys all the time...

3:50 pm

almost yay m

FYI, that was the old Pinny. These days, Pinny sleeps alone (boo hoo)

3:50 pm

but one is 4. and all we do is sleep.

3:50 pm

Poor Pinny.

3:50 pm

I did notice, Judi :P Pinny sounds like my teenage years. These days I limit myself to just the one.

I know! Poor Pinny indeed

pinny i have a 30 year old single friend

3:51 pm

am I being shunned?

Oh really?????? Is he tall and intelligent?

a bit taller than me and he wears glasses

3:52 pm

Hiya, Westy. No, you are not being shunned! xxoo

And hung like a donkey?

quite sweltering

OOOOOOOOOohhhhhhh - how tall are you Chugga?

3:52 pm

aww thanks judi

that i dont know

6'0

Oh yes! Tall is GOOD

Is he smart?

3:53 pm

hi west!!! no shunning... just tyring to do this and deal with 4yo too... so i miss a lot...

glasses?

hes pretty smart.. useless facts

3:53 pm

west, I only have two co8's co8/50 and co8/60. Don't know what the other two 8's are

3:53 pm

hi m too

I wear glasses too

3:53 pm

thanks ciocia

3:53 pm

now it IS like speed dating!!!!

well then, sounds like we've got a match

3:54 pm

he8

3:54 pm

I should look at the list I try to get as many as I can first my personal torture system

3:54 pm

LOL Pinny! Just caught your comment...this chat is getting VERY interesting.

3:54 pm

thanks m I will look

That depends on him though - does he like chubsters...?

3:54 pm

I don't look at the list until I'm at least halfway

3:55 pm

Exchange pictures, Pinny. Don't go by the "he has a really nice personality" description (a/k/a: kiss of death).

he he he - NB - thought i'd got away with it ;)

3:55 pm

co8x3

3:55 pm

Blind dates... *shudder*

Don't worry Judi - even with photos and previous phone chats, i've still met some total horrors in my time

details are hidden. thats for you to find out ;)

3:56 pm

Sorry Pinny, the chances of me missing the words "hung like a donkey" are literally less than zero.

That's my boy!

3:56 pm

LOLOLOLOLOL!

So hook it up Chugga - we can get together en masse in London on the pretense of having a Babble meet-up, and I can eye up your friend :)

3:57 pm

now now kiddies, i had no idea this was a swingin singles site ROFL

3:57 pm

and that's the big show in the sky for me.

yes sounds great

3:57 pm

five

yay m!

It's friday night, I'm 32 and I'm in bed playing Babble. A girl's gotta try!

well done m9

3:58 pm

well done you, M9!

3:58 pm

YAY, M9!!!!!

3:58 pm

real yay now m !!!

3:59 pm

thank you, thank you.... thank you very much

Just make sure your friend can come - otherwise, i'll be the only straight in the village

he doesnt even have a car! :O)

4:00 pm

How funny that as soon as this nancy boy is taken rather than single, this place becomes a singles site.

4:00 pm

Pinny, I believe the expression is "fag hag".

4:00 pm

who said he was straight pinny? lol

Oh.... :(

No - not a fag hag - just a sad loser

4:00 pm

Which poses and interesting question: Has there ever been a Babble love connection?

NB - who is your new totty?

WELL, nancy is already taken so i guess not

4:01 pm

oohhhhh now wouldn't that be cool.

4:01 pm

I wonder, Judi. I've certainly met a very, very good friend here...it wouldn't be so far-fetched

I don't know of any babble love matches, but I'm doing my best to make it happen

4:03 pm

All the luck to you Pinny!

eharmony it up pinny

Muchos gracias - i need it!

4:03 pm

my brother met his wife through an online dating site

Not for me - I've tried dating websites a few times and had such terrible experiences that i won't do it again

4:04 pm

Kind of an old flame, Pinny - I was with him, briefly, before Leo. Quite a long story!

4:04 pm

so do you think i should transcribe jamaice, mexico or US next?

only quitters stop

i'll just stick to meeting people normally or being introduced, and until then i'll just have a weird crush on the finance director at work

4:05 pm

i married a man i met in an irc chat room

NB - this isn't the artist, is it?

4:05 pm

is he married?

4:05 pm

Cool, GLC!

4:05 pm

I married a man I met at the movies and we will be celebrating our 40th in June

4:05 pm

US m

4:06 pm

awesome bichon thats a great place to meet

4:06 pm

no chugg irc

4:06 pm

Have to pop i on this - met my husband in the parking lot after a baseball game... married now 21 years

4:06 pm

my cousin fixed me up with her boyfriend's next door neighbor

4:06 pm

It is indeed the artist, Pinny :)

4:06 pm

they split up we've been married 45 years

you slut! he's an awesome artist though

4:07 pm

I met my hubby in a bakery. Mutual friend introduced us. He liked my "cupcakes".

4:07 pm

My ex introduced me to my current. So at least he did SOMETHING right.

4:07 pm

lol judi

my parents were introduced by my dad's then girlfriend, who thought they'd get on better (an interesting way to break up with someone...), but they were already aquaintances having met at a scrabble club

4:08 pm

LOL Judi! Thanks, Pinny! 'Slut' is SUCH a strong word though; I prefer to say that I'm just...resourceful ;)

Leo must be kicking himself

4:08 pm

Scrabble club! What nerds. Oh... wait.

hahaha - they'd only play against each other because no-one else posed competition

4:08 pm

that's amazing westford

4:08 pm

LOL!!

4:08 pm

i met my hubby in a class on photosynthesis

4:08 pm

i cannot imagine being married so long

4:09 pm

haha judi

4:09 pm

thanks GLC sometimes I can't either lol

4:09 pm

our regular lab partners were out sick and the prof put us together.

4:09 pm

It'll be 25 years for me and my old man next month!

4:09 pm

We were watching The Lady Vanishes and La Bele et La Bete

4:09 pm

nice prof m

4:09 pm

been together 27 years

4:10 pm

*snickering* Leo hasn't been back since Frank "assisted" him out of our flat at my housewarming.

4:10 pm

well i must admit i didn't stay married to the aussie very long

4:10 pm

oh the Lady Vanishes is such a good flick

4:10 pm

Wow, NB! Chivalry!

4:10 pm

you should have seen Tim's face when he came in and prof told him I was gonna be his partner. We hadn't really met (except as a walk-by once) and he had just told his brother he was gonna marry me.

4:11 pm

Actually, if you want a babble love story, the good friend I met here on babble played match-maker for us. So it's all down to him...

4:11 pm

We love Hitchcock films

4:11 pm

close enough NB!!LOL

4:11 pm

We used to go to the movies all the time. But, now, hardly anything interests us

4:11 pm

bichon hardly anything good out there anymore

4:12 pm

Dontcha just love those little karmic nudges?

4:12 pm

m you were meant for each other sounds like

4:12 pm

my babble fairy godfather. emphasis on fairy. :)

4:13 pm

westford do you think people were really meant for each other, or do they just learn to, well, tolerate each other

4:13 pm

haha nb

4:13 pm

a little of both G

4:13 pm

nah... the woundedness of his inner child just recognized the woundedness of mine.... rofl!!!!!

and now Chugga can be my fairy godmother

4:13 pm

i'm not GLC by the way, this is my boss's nick

4:13 pm

haha m

4:13 pm

a boss that babbles doesn't get much better than that

maybe i always was pinny

i was destined to end up here talking with you

4:14 pm

*looks around the chat* Well, NB, that explains all the glitter.

what a lovely thought

4:15 pm

yeah westford, she turned me on to it

foretelling your future, i see a tall intelligent man named... ken

that's amazing, because in reality, i'm a short fat brunette called Barbie!

4:15 pm

*drops dead*

4:16 pm

*laughing so hard at Pinny I can hardly type*

4:16 pm

haha pinny

6:49 pm

frosh, soph, jr, sr?

6:49 pm

(guessing frosh because of dorm reference)

6:50 pm

Yes. But I don't think that there will be any problems besides some rain, and his room is on the third floor

6:50 pm

Junior, actually.

6:50 pm

I was complaining this morning that he was still packing when we had planned to leave. But by the time we left, his room was cleaner than it was last year.

6:52 pm

well, at least he didn't leave a mess!!! :)

6:53 pm

(unlike 2 daughters I know very well)

6:53 pm

He is going to Johnson & Wales in Providence and they don't guarantee housing for the upper classes but so far he has been able to get something.

6:54 pm

The mess was touch and go, and I hesitate to open the closets for fear that there will be an explosion.

6:54 pm

then he's done very well, wht! :)

6:56 pm

Last year he thought that he was not going to get housing but then the school took out a multi-year lease on a condo project that had gone unsold because of economy. He ended up in a two bedroom apartment with full kitchen with granite counter tops and their own washer and dryer.

6:56 pm

7:11 pm

hey all, here to see how things are doing. should I try the grid?

7:12 pm

Hi stidmama!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:12 pm

The grid is doable, especially with you skill and talent

7:12 pm

thanks Min ((hugs)) how was your week?

hi stid

7:14 pm

hey mcurl!!! (((hugs))) isn't it a GLORIOUS day?

7:15 pm

except the drive home. TWO hours again, and this time I was "ahead" of the traffic (supposedly)

7:15 pm

I went back to school on Wednesday. The week was very HOT! I am changing rooms so sweated bullets all week. I still have to continue moving next week.Was moving furniture. Custodians will never get it done.

absolutely, but I was glad to finally get home from school to really be able to enjoy it

7:15 pm

that's too bad, Min. It's rough to do all that heavy work.

7:16 pm

It took you two hours to drive home from work? How long is your commute normally?I drive a little over an hour to and from work.But job is worth the commute

7:16 pm

I am enjoying it, though. Today I got to just "hang out" with some students while that teacher took an emergency bathroom break... and I helped two students open their lockers...

then you deserve an A for the day

7:17 pm

Hi all briefly -- expcting neighbours in a few minutes.

7:17 pm

It is never less than an hour or so anyway Min -- when I can go 70 most of the way (speed limit is 60). Yesterday and today there were HUGE backups in predictable locations, so it took twice as long.

7:17 pm

Are you working in a high school stidmama?You like it

7:17 pm

hi all

7:17 pm

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:17 pm

Here they come...

7:18 pm

hey jill! I suppose that's better than waiting for the repair man.

7:18 pm

later jill

7:18 pm

hey jmc

7:18 pm

Hi jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:18 pm

Middle school, Min. I enjoy it greatly.

7:18 pm

Wish I didn't have to do elementary in the Spring, but must student teach in an elementary in order to hold that certification.

7:18 pm

Otherwise, would choose to teach middle school again in an instant.

hey, elementary is not that bad!

7:19 pm

We're getting middle school in my school building.We got 6th grade last year, 7th grade this year and 8th grade next year. Middle school is tough age to teach

7:19 pm

oh, it's not bad, mcurl! LOL I worked in Mother's 1 and 2 classes all those years! But I really enjoy the older kids just as much, and they need caring adults.

7:21 pm

I would MUCH prefer doing middle school with a block format than the piece-meal high school format (and the research supports the block model). But you teach with the schedule you are given, right?

I thought I didn't like kindergarten but was hired as a long term sub at that level and now I wish I could spend all my time there. Mainly in 4th and 5th grade other than that. My one on one is repeating 4th grade with the teacher that I volunteer for so we're having some good times already

7:21 pm

I've actually never taught middle school, but I do he 4/5 that it is a tough age to teach.So glad you like it

7:22 pm

That's nice, mcurl! I think intermediate grades are exciting, too.

7:23 pm

of course, I am not student teaching where there is block scheduling, but my own kids' had modified block (in a very small K-8 school) so I know how it works, and how it scaffolds the kids who really need the support while allowing the more mature students to take leadership roles.

7:23 pm

This year, principal assigned grades for me to teach.

everybody has their "niche"; I've already told the mom of my guy that I will absolutely not follow him to the middle school. Not that I don't like the kids but more the personalities of some of the long time staff.

7:24 pm

what you will teach, Min?

7:24 pm

I have NEVER been assigned grades to teach. I have always had the freedom to choose my grades and do schedule as I see fit,but not this year. I'm not happy about it. I put in for a transfer, but I did not get it.

7:24 pm

how is your family, mcurl?

we are good. Anxiously waiting word that it's time to head to the hospital for the arrival of little miss Paige!

7:26 pm

oh! I didn't realize her arrival was imminent! *moves Paige-mama up on the list*

7:26 pm

This year I was assigned to teach 2nd and 3rd grade.

due date is the 15th but momma to be is begging for any time!

7:26 pm

"refeat" to humiliate the Seattle Mariners... again. (and again and...)

7:26 pm

I will also teach one or two other grades, but I don't know what grades yet. I like 2nd & 3rd grade though

7:26 pm

oh, those are nice grades, though!

7:27 pm

Do you teach a single subject within the school?

7:27 pm

woo-hoo! got an 8!

7:28 pm

I teach English as a Second Language. Are there ESL teachers in middle school where you work stidmama?

7:28 pm

"nogaton" an explosive of no force?

7:28 pm

oh! I see. That explains the many grades. I have never been in a school big enough to actually assign a a particular grade to an ESL teacher...

7:29 pm

I am sure my middle school does, Min, but I haven't met most of the specialists yet. Each department and grade tend to keep to themselves.

we have a person that works with our ELL (english language learners) at the elem in a "pull out" fashion grades K-5

7:30 pm

yes, our local schools do pull-out also.

7:31 pm

The middle school I was in last year had some bilingual classes, and a couple self-contained classes, but the self-contained were just one teacher for the whole school.

7:31 pm

Yes,I prefer to do pull-out than push-in,but principal is making me do some push-in as well. I got a new ESL partner this year. I just met him. Has no experience in elementary. His background is Adult ESL education

7:32 pm

hmph. that will make it tough unless he can adjust to what kids can actually do...

hope he has a quick learning curve

7:32 pm

I think my prinicpal hired him just to fill the position.

7:33 pm

She wanted all of her staff in tact for when students come back which will be next Tuesday.

7:33 pm

I need one more tile for NBT

that's to bad; my district did the same type of thing for the SPED teacher at my grade 4-5 level....put a teacher who had been RIF'd the previous year in a position not qualified for hoping that he'll quit at the end of the year.....oh joy for us

7:34 pm

there. NBT

7:34 pm

oh no, mcurl! those poor children.

brb hubby having grilling problems with dinner

7:35 pm

At the beginning of the day we had no 5th grade and Kindergarten teacher and ESL teacher.By the end of the day, all of those positions had all been filled in.

7:35 pm

LOL read "husband is having girling problems..." no idea what it meant, but WAY different!

7:35 pm

That is a severe disservice for those kids. *FROWN*

7:36 pm

I agree, Min. probably better to start the year with long-term subs than teachers whose qualifications are iffy at best.

too funny stid! I'll pass that on to him.

7:36 pm

our school has a couple long-term subs, and one emergency sub had to do the first two days when a teacher had a family emergency.

7:37 pm

*gasp* NO! whatever will he think of me! rofl

he'll just think you're related to me!!!

7:38 pm

:-D

7:39 pm

hiya good - good thought

9:16 pm

i don't have problems sleeping, it's just the hours fly by that it doesn't seem like 7 hours! then of course there are the nature calls...

9:16 pm

I am up almost 20 lbs since I quit smoking - must sleep more.........lol

9:18 pm

hey my metabolism went to sleep and forgot the rest of me

9:18 pm

hang in there river

9:18 pm

ahh, the substitute oral fixation...you can do it, get over one addiction then get on an exercise routine.

9:19 pm

A little weight is a good trade-off for not smoking

9:19 pm

i go to the gym twice a week and still have flab

9:19 pm

i agree torg

9:20 pm

You had the will to quit smoking, you can lose weight if you set your mind to it ..

9:20 pm

my problem is i am about 100 lbs over weight

9:20 pm

I am not eating any more - dont snack anymore - the crap in the smokes is no longer burning off the whatever

9:21 pm

no way - I've seen your pictures - dont listen to those skinny doctor weight charts - If I could love 40-50 I will be primo

9:21 pm

tear

9:21 pm

i weigh over 200

9:22 pm

..me off a ticket to the PB ..

9:22 pm

tor - Mom left some really good cookies in the PB this morning

9:22 pm

i just carry it well *sucks in gut*

9:22 pm

I;m right with you there jmc!!

9:22 pm

you certainly dont look it jmc

9:22 pm

well ty river

9:23 pm

if i gave up drinking i could probably loss the weight but whats the point of that?

9:23 pm

well I am closing in on you then - didnt even weight that when I was pregnant - now weigh more

9:23 pm

;-)

9:24 pm

hush - I'm there with ya

9:24 pm

well river i would not let the 20 lbs worry me

we need a babble weight loss support group :)

9:24 pm

maybe if I switched to red wine there would be less calories - what do you think

9:25 pm

that 20 over what I was already overweight....yah...

9:25 pm

not a bad plan but i am not going on mr p's water diet even if you payed me

NO couldn't do it!

9:25 pm

that's not a diet it's a fast...

9:25 pm

I would be joining mr P as I am already there all day long

jellen and mp and i were all saying we have reasons to lose, vacations and whatnot

*m9 not mp

9:26 pm

i am on a diet where you get your meals delivered - husband is away and daughter and i are doing it together, it works out cheaper than shopping, cooking and doing dishes

9:26 pm

vodka has less calories than wine......if we add cranberry juice it would be healthier

9:26 pm

the wine is the hard part for me

9:26 pm

that is right sandy you said . . . how is that going?

9:27 pm

that seems like the way to do it sandy. more often than not i eat crap because i don't want to put in the effort to make something healthy

9:27 pm

Hi sandy - up late or early for your??? more power to you and your daughter - I am weak....*bows head*

9:27 pm

my problem is that if i drink too much i snack and want sugar

9:27 pm

going well, not so hard to stick to, but still having a couple of glasses of wine at night - but i am going away for 5 days, nicky will stay on it but i will go off it for the week-

9:27 pm

I just drink more - no snacks

9:28 pm

It really is simple...eat less, move more...but so very hard to do!!

9:28 pm

its not a quick loss, gradual and healthy

9:28 pm

maybe you can be restrained if off sandy

9:28 pm

sandy you are doing great - should be proud of yourself

9:28 pm

i know and yet i think it is a treat when i can't go to the gym for some reason

9:29 pm

wtg sandy we will look to you for a role model

9:29 pm

hard to move more when I am chained to my desk all day at work and in car picking up kids after, then doing supper, dishes, laundry, whatever at night

9:29 pm

trying river, I really am doing it to motivate nicky, I am happy with me, but I definitely need to lose some

9:29 pm

LOL believe me Im no role model

5 oz of wine = 2 WW points , 1 jigger vodka = 2 points also

9:30 pm

maybe 10 minutes exercise in am river

9:30 pm

my daughter needs to lose weight - very picky eater so diets dont work - need to keep her moving - school sports is the best way

9:30 pm

I know at my age, when I come home I am so pooped...

9:30 pm

i would rather have 5 oz of wine over a jigger of vodka

9:31 pm

but i never measure my drinks

9:31 pm

sorry jmc - already up at 5 to start my day - not getting up earlier just to exercise - need my sleep - the little I get

9:31 pm

one bottle I believe is 7.5 WW points, but ages ago

9:31 pm

one bottle I believe is 7.5 WW points, but ages ago

9:31 pm

one bottle I believe is 7.5 WW points, but ages ago

9:31 pm

one bottle I believe is 7.5 WW points, but ages ago

9:31 pm

one bottle I believe is 7.5 WW points, but ages ago

9:31 pm

one bottle I believe is 7.5 WW points, but ages ago ages ago ww toldme you are not allowed ot have that many points in alcohol LOL

9:31 pm

ok that looks good

9:31 pm

whoa sandy has the power

9:31 pm

dont know what is going on there

9:31 pm

wow that was pretty vehement sandy

9:32 pm

my calories come from wine.....bad bad bad

9:32 pm

only pressed it once, not trying to get the most attention LOL

9:32 pm

the point i was making river is that it can be a very very short time like a 10 minutese walk at lunch

9:33 pm

mine come from bourbon

9:33 pm

I figure wine m;ust be healthy, it is fruit juice and raw food

9:33 pm

I know just need to find that time

9:33 pm

yes consistency is more important than length of time... consistency is my downfall lol

i've starting wearing my peometer again just to remind me to get up and move, at work especially

please forgive my crappy typing

9:33 pm

the only reason i manage to go to the gym twice a week is that i car pool there with my sister

9:34 pm

and why should you be better than the rest of us Good....hmmm???

:)

9:35 pm

I figure I do a lot of exercise here, feeding horses, getting wood etc (pioneer stuff

9:35 pm
