Hi, stid!

12:36 am

oh..

12:36 am

hi stid, hugs

12:36 am

***in deference to others with different views also distributes hugs conservatively***

12:37 am

*wicked tired student-teacher mama look*

12:37 am

was the auction a benefit or jsut for profit?

12:38 am

just wanted to say hello again, and my best friend from college dropped by spontaneously and is spending the night, which has helped my mood ever so much, and has also made me stay up an hour past my bedtime...

12:38 am

The auction was to liquidate the stock for the antique store...

12:38 am

*worried mama look* I killed the chat?

12:39 am

oh yeah.. I remember

12:39 am

just passed 200, so i get to go ;)

12:39 am

do you feel a load lifted off of you then?

12:39 am

good. I didn't kill the chat. sweet dreams, nana.

12:39 am

how nice, stid -- when did you last see your pal?

12:39 am

and Jellen... (((extra hugs))) I read what is happening, and hope that you are well. I miss you.

12:40 am

well done, nan!

12:40 am

I'll feel better after the next auction...I have so much stuff!

12:40 am

bye stid, jill and everyone

12:40 am

well over a year, though she swears it is less than two... a long time.

12:40 am

sounds fun stid

12:40 am

BUT we once went a decade without talking and then picked up as if never apart when we accidentally met at Seattle's Folklife festival.

12:41 am

hey vashon! (((more hugs))) dcseain will be in Seattle one of the weekends this coming month, would you like to join us?

12:41 am

if you want to, drop me a line -- I think the gmail is still in my profile?

12:41 am

i hope i can....i'm on required bedrest for another few weeks at least

12:42 am

i pulled my hamstring while i was visiting my daughter in illinois 4 weeks ago

12:42 am

oh dear, vash!

12:42 am

oh oh. *worried mama look* I get involved in grad school and the babble community starts to fall apart! I hope it's more inconvenient than serious?

12:42 am

oh no!

hey vash you called st 9 x 2... I have st 9/60 what are stats on other one please?

12:42 am

oh! yes, I see....

so sorry to hear vash... sounds painful

12:42 am

i have been more clumsy this last year than ever before

12:43 am

they're both st 9/60

12:43 am

well vashon, let us know. I would love to see you, but only if it won't be too painful.

12:43 am

mcurl did a thing with the meniscus in her knee recently, which is setting her back a bit as well.

How's things, Rubes? House guest still there?

3:37 am

Lisa left yastday morning and, all in all, it was a great visit. We made peace; she didn't snoop (I don't think"; and all is well!

3:38 am

many

3:38 am

Well thats just great, Ruby.

3:38 am

whoops, sorry

3:39 am

I think its only me and you, and I won't tell if you don't..... :-)

3:39 am

didn't improve her father's mood much, but it was a good break for me

3:39 am

No, it isn't...hee hee, thank you!!

3:39 am

fortunately, it was an easy word!

3:40 am

Lol Hi Liz :-)

3:40 am

this is a friendly grid, at least for the first 50 words!

3:40 am

but one I didn't have.

3:40 am

hi lizmac!

3:40 am

I'm after getting 4 x 8-letter words in a row!!!

3:40 am

Hi both (?all)

3:43 am

I love all the builders

3:44 am

Ruby - no matter that Burt is still cranky. At least you can't be accused of being churlish.

3:44 am

hey all

3:44 am

i agree with the 'easy for the first 50 words' comment...lol

3:44 am

Morning Cathy :-)

3:45 am

and he was very grateful that she and I made peace and she was grateful and appreciative that I am taking care of him

3:45 am

RUBY !!! We all admire builders discreetly, but it's undignified to publicise the fact.Ogle furtively please !!

3:45 am

hi cathy, I'm actually up to 70 with no clues from anybody, unheard of for me

3:45 am

sorry, lizmac! I didn't mean to advertise the news!

3:45 am

lol ruby....wtg!

3:46 am

ROFL Liz. (I was also thinking about builders' bums....)

3:46 am

sorry, literal-minded me didn't get the joke; I'm just too old I guess

3:47 am

Nah, we don't like builders' bums, we like 'em young and fit...coke ad types.

3:48 am

if you saw (and smelled) the builders here, you'd change your mind

3:48 am

Ruby, unless you're 259 you're NOT too old.

3:49 am

hahah

3:49 am

Liz - I'm getting a mental image of Dick Emery's character Hetty....Do you rememeber her?

3:51 am

Yep. Did you see Harry Enfield's characters of randy old ladies......"young man" was their catch phrase.

3:51 am

i loved harry enfield

dyslexic insomniacs untie!

3:52 am

good morning kaplan

Little Britain was the best - the sketch with the youngster fancying his buddies gran.....

I've been up for hours. Sucks.

I've been up for hours. Sucks.

3:53 am

Poor Kap. Insomnia is the pits.

3:53 am

we could all sing you a nice Irish lullaby.....

sorry for the echo

3:53 am

I take Xanax, it really helps

I forgot to fill my ambien rx

I forgot to fill my ambien rx yesterday

3:54 am

No such thing as an Irish lullaby. Raucous roaring and shouting is more like it....

3:54 am

Away to get breakfast. BBL

I forgot to fill my ambien rx yesterday

3:54 am

Bye Liz. Have a good day.

better living thru chemistry

3:56 am

amen to that!

I see lots of phantoms. Cistern.

3:58 am

It always baffles me how I can see phantoms as clear as day, yet actual words seem to elude me....

3:58 am

but sometimes the phantoms are more interesting....

It's the nature of phantoms.

3:58 am

or even sister

3:59 am

'Read my red eye' is a phrase hopping out at me....

Demerits?

Remainders?

Osiris?

Redneck?

I had better stop, getting punchy already

Ooooh nice big grid! Good monring.

early for the PBm Ruby.

4:10 am

need more coffee!

Need drugs.

4:12 am

or hugs!

4:12 am

168 words and I had better get moving!

No- drugs.

I have, err...61. but...I just began. its the fun time where there are jillions to find.

4:13 am

hahah kaplan

I have 260 but I do wish I had been sleeping instead of babbling.

I don't have to work on Fridays but really.

4:14 am

my husband wok me at 5 with his puttering around. I gave him an earful, took a pill, and went back to sleep. He's on a totally ridiculous schedule -- takes napes during the day or while I cook dinner and then gets up too early. VERY annoying

4:14 am

that message sounds like it was written in English as a 3rd language!

Do you take them every day, or just now and then?

4:15 am

since 9/11 I take them (not many) when I feel anxious

4:16 am

I need 8 hrs sleep which I don't think is unreasonable

I obsess. I also need about 9 hours of sleep.

4:16 am

before I took xanax, I would awaken at 2AM and start obsessing and be unable to go back to sleep

You can't imagine that anyone in Babbleland has a touch of OCD, can you?

4:17 am

they really help and have no after-effects (not like sleeping pills) and don't seem to be addictive

Me too. I was obsessing about obsessing.

4:17 am

even my dog has OCD!

4:18 am

OCD???? I think I fell out of the OCD tree, and hit every branch on the way down.

Xanax are actually addictive if overused, (benzodiazepine) but who cares?

Xanax is actually one of the most addictive anti-anxiety medications out there.

4:18 am

what is considered overuse? Now I'm worried, am probably an addict and will start knocking over convenience stores.....

I wouldn't worry about it ruby.

4:19 am

I fell out of the OCD tree and hit every third branch that wasn't pointing north or south (in that order) on the way down, obviously avoiding the ones with leaves that were in any way not green.

4:19 am

I guess I better take one to stop worrying -- just kidding!

Do NOT worry. Take as prescribed. I worry too, but I'd rather not have nights like these.

4:20 am

down anybody else count stuff?

I count syllables of songs on my fingers.

4:20 am

I count out dog treats and have taught my Ruby to count to 9!

And I obsess about my schedule.

4:21 am

tht's how many "treats" she gets at cocktail time

4:21 am

rets

In the OCD spectrum, I am more O than C.

Stop that Ruby!

4:22 am

bad ruby, diving into the (dreaded) paperwork now as my punishment

4:22 am

{{big hugs everybody}}

4:22 am

While waiting for traffic lights to turn, I count. If they turn on an even number - good day. Beware if they turn on an odd number (!!)

4:22 am

((((Bye Rubes))))

I obsess about Yetta.

No, I don't really.

4:23 am

this is very interesting. Maybe being ocd helps play OR maybe we play because we're ocd!

4:23 am

who is yetta?

Yetta is my icon. She was on a TV show called The Nanny.

I think the people who insisit on finishing each day at probably the most OCD. I am only compulsive about one thing, and it is nto the game...thank goodness because my ranking is very low!!!!

4:24 am

they didn't show that on Fr TV

We don't "be" OCD- we have obsessive cpulsive styles.

4:24 am

Sheesh... I thought that pic was YOU Kap LOL

4:25 am

red: I'll bet it's higher than mine. I only get as many words as I can in two goes and then don't check the lists. The only times I've finished, FM has helped me get the last few

Why does everyone think that?

I sometimes use the list, when I can get it down to about 30. but most times I just fall asleep.

4:26 am

Dafchef - I hope that you didn't fall out of MY OCD tree. (I'm a bit precious about my OCD tree...)

4:26 am

I run out of time, like now, hahah! XXXX

4:26 am

(don't fall out of the OCD tree)

tooo funny soodle!

It wouldn't work on French TV- too many Jewish jokes about Flushing, Queens- my hometown.

4:26 am

unwritten rule: dont fall out of anyone elses OCD tree. It can really bugger them up.

4:27 am

I'm from Queens Village, Kaplan, and went to Queens College, in Flushing. Do you realize that Flushing is totally Korean now?

Does an OCD tree count its own leaves?

4:27 am

only the green ones

You went to Queens College? I grew up just off Kissena Blvd. I know it's totally Asian now.

It was just transitioning when I left in 1978 or so.

4:28 am

that is funny, kaplan, where did you go to high school?

4:29 am

I went to Martin Van Buren which was totally white then, is totally black now

It's a long story. I was zoned for Francis Lewis.

4:29 am

send me an e-mail, kaplan, my address is in my profile

4:29 am

*poof*

There are all these Flushing groups on Facebook. People reminisce about Klein's and Gloria's pizza.

hello syb, judi

8:09 am

it is one of my favorites. It never fails to make me laugh and it has a lot of unforgettable quotes. My most beloved quotes are: "I am paralysed beyond the capacity for rational thought", "I feel like the floor of a taxi cab" and "Yes it is true... this man has no dick."

8:10 am

hi syb, Judi!

8:10 am

i think there are more quotable lines in the Princess bride, but Ghostbusters comes a close second

8:10 am

Hi Judi

8:11 am

hi syb

8:11 am

i watch yogi bear last night and thought it was cute

8:11 am

Happy Friday everyone. JMC, ready for snow Sunday? EWWW!

8:11 am

8:12 am

i am pretending that i do not know they are talking snow on sunday

8:12 am

*puts fingers in ea** *

8:12 am

how awful, still more snow :(

8:12 am

*Sings la la la and puts fingers in ears along with JMC*

8:13 am

DO NOT say the "S" word. Just don't!

8:13 am

Molly, hi and you need to sing from the PB now :)

8:13 am

not true not true you can't make me believe it is going to snow!!!

8:14 am

I think if I would say 'Sn4 flakes are going to fall', most of you would try to enter it.

8:14 am

8:16 am

sheesh .. i thought of that word, couldn't 'see' it and never entered it! thanks, molly!

8:16 am

LOL no not gridwise, but to see it you do need to look ;)

8:16 am

It's a twisty critter

8:16 am

(gives me nbt, too!)

8:16 am

i have started entering words i don't see

8:17 am

i should just start entering words willy nilly

8:17 am

otherwise i would never get sparklers

8:17 am

no double L in the grid, alas, welki :D

8:18 am

lol i pretty much do some days when i start welki

8:18 am

syb did you give up on us already?

8:18 am

blech. have to do taxes today. jm? would you please come over and do them for me?

8:18 am

i am not very good at canadian taxes welki or i would

8:19 am

if I doubt if a word is there, I just enter it. If I would be rated for the percentage of correct words entered, I would be the last one on the list!

8:19 am

lol sprite

8:19 am

lol .. my taxes are so straightforward, it really doesn't take that long. it's getting motivated that's difficult

8:19 am

my problem is that i know lots of words i don't know how to spell

8:20 am

welki, I know! Same here. Must do them this weekend and they are not difficult in our case... but go get started!

8:20 am

Sprite, thanks for the freebie :-)

8:20 am

there was a word yesterday that i was sure was in the grid until i realized that yet again i had misspelled it

8:20 am

yvw Mom ;)

8:20 am

:-)

8:20 am

mine are difficult and so are most of my client's

8:21 am

$$$$$

8:22 am

I am pathethic. I literally sit shaking when I start doing taxes. But am getting less stressed every year, so it is eroding.

bt anyone here last night when lickety was?

8:22 am

i only shake when i write the check

8:22 am

good for you sprite remember it is just $$

8:22 am

I was not TO

8:22 am

no TO

8:22 am

I did also, Sprite, now someone does them for us

8:23 am

i saw him late afternoon. all i heard is that his car 'burned to the ground.' no elaboration

same here welk

8:23 am

Oh no!

8:23 am

true, jmc! And the people at the tax office are nice, actually. We had a problem once and they were so very kind. It is just a tax phobia, grinnn... or something like that!

8:23 am

wow that sounds terrible, welki. I hope everybody was whole and healthy?

8:24 am

what?!?! it is hard to burn a car

8:24 am

i know about tax phobia and so do all the tax collectors

8:24 am

the cartoons of people bringing bags of unsorted receipts really do happen

8:24 am

that's all the info he shared. i hope that the family is well, too ... and that he doesn't think he's got to put a list up for us if he's having trouble

8:24 am

oh JMC, not as hard as you think. Someone caught our truck on fire. Of course it wasn't an accident, but a case of mistaken truck

8:25 am

i also often have clients who come with 5 to 15 years worth of unfiled returns

8:25 am

'no, your honor, i'm not guilty. it's not arson. i torched the wrong truck'

8:25 am

oh I can imagine, jmc. If I wouldn't force myself, I would postpone until it was too late.

8:25 am

<-- does u.s. and canadian returns

8:25 am

i had a car on fire once and closed the hood and turned off the motor and it stopped burning

really.

8:25 am

roflol welki, must be the lamest defence ever.

8:26 am

you have to work to burn a car or truck "to the grough"

8:26 am

we have an idea who did it but could never prove it. They were meaning to do our neighbors truck

8:26 am

no there are lots of lame defenses! lol

8:26 am

So, what caused Lickety's vehicle to be consumed?

8:26 am

there sure are.

8:27 am

yeah all my neighbors cars got grafitti because the nasty piece of work couldn't decide which one was my son's

8:27 am

Mom, everybody torching anyone's truck should be locked away. Idiots.

8:27 am

$5000 fine here for graffiti offences

8:27 am

okay much be going off to work

8:27 am

yeah but you have to catch them--we knew who it was but could prove it

I'm interested in what's being said in European media about the crisis in Lampedusa (Sicily) - I watch it on Italian news ,it's not being covered here at all

8:46 am

"Good assignment visibility" There's a corporate buzz phrase I haven't heard. Oy vey.

what is going on there, bv?

8:47 am

JBV, maybe this is a good place to read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world- europe-12816340

8:47 am

refugees are arriving by the boatload from Tunisia, thousands by now (this has been going on since the TUnisian revolt, now Libyans and others are going through TUnisia to get to Sicily) the island is totally overwhelmed, patience is gone, resources are strained, Italy seems to be alone in this

8:48 am

thanks, sprite, I'll check it out

8:48 am

the population of the island was only about 5,000 or so, more than that have arrived - all young single men, trouble is brewing, they are now fighting for food

np immigration law? people can ust come in?

8:49 am

well, I guess they cannot turn them back, TO - their lives are in danger - not sure of the legalities

8:49 am

Italy is trying to process them out of the island and onto themainland but I was wondering what the other European countries are doing

8:49 am

it is a small island, and right now there are more refugees than people who actually live there. TOwl, yes there are laws. But they arrive by boat, and cannot be send back to sea.

i am embarassed at my lack of current affiar knowledge. know nothign about crisis in tunisia

as opposed to yemen, bahrain, libya, etc

8:50 am

don't be embarrassed, TO - it's our U.S. media - totally ignoring this - I'm afraid something terrible will happen, then it will be news here

8:51 am

well, Tunisia was the first (back in January or February I think) so the refugee problem has been brewing for a while

8:51 am

I think they're all the same type of crisis, although Libya's is causing more of a worldwide reaction.

cnn decides what is news and what is not.

8:51 am

yes they get help, JBV. The European Union is pitching in. Medical and food help is already active. Also political talks about how to distribute the refugees more fairly.

8:52 am

ok, that's what I was wondering about, Sprite - thank you - I will also keep up with the BBC news

is your family in/near that city?

8:53 am

some enterprising reporter ought to land on Lampedusa and get some shocking video - then they will air it

8:53 am

No, TO, but Sicily is the next stop (Lampedusa is closer to Africa)

8:53 am

A kind of show and tell?

are yo unhappy becaue you feel the us is not helping there?

8:54 am

no, not the U.S., TO - I meant the European Union

8:54 am

it should not be just Italy's problem

8:55 am

Sprite, thanks for the link - for anyone interested in reading about it (in ENglish) I'll post it again:

8:55 am

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world- europ e-12816340

per sprite it is not

8:55 am

There'll be aid available, it's probably just the logistics that will need to be sorted out.

8:56 am

Perhaps it would be easier if the UN, Nato, EU and others could get together and schedule future crisis. Phffth.

8:57 am

the thing is, I've been reading about this for at least a month or more, it's just getting worse now because of Libya

8:57 am

tr5/16 - what the encouraging son said to his mother

8:57 am

thanks, Haz, I needed that!

8:58 am

You're welcome!

8:58 am

good idea Judi - let's schedule earthquakes and tsunamis and nuclear disasters, too

8:59 am

cool clue, Haz

8:59 am

Would you look at that? FM's favourite Madagascan hedgehogs are here. I hope she's happy!

ok, time to move. happy babbling to all

9:00 am

TOwl, sorry, I don't know what you mean. What is not?

9:00 am

correction: TWO months (since Tunisian exodus)

9:00 am

See you again, TO.

9:01 am

I think she meant you said it was not only Italy's problem, sprite

9:01 am

byebye TO

9:01 am

I never said that!

9:01 am

8:51

9:02 am

good morning everyone! crossy is here! let the chaos commence!

all i said as that it seemed that sptirte said the eu was aware and helping. bye!

9:02 am

ah oh, yes, it is NOT only Italy's problem. That is correct.

9:03 am

hi crossy

9:03 am

Hiya, Crossy!

9:03 am

howdy sprite

9:03 am

howdy judi

9:04 am

Silly, refugees. Let them eat cake. There's plenty in the PB.

9:04 am

it cannot be only Italy's problem. It will overflow. So better get involved now and not wait until it is too late.

9:04 am

phantom "entreat"

9:05 am

lol Judi. A la lanterne!

9:07 am

Laissez faire just doesn't get the job done any more. (sorry if I spelt that wrong).

9:08 am

I couldn't agree more

9:09 am

Has anyone mentioned to Ghadafi that humans should be judged by their humanity? I don't believe he got that memo.

9:10 am

I don't think he ever used that as a guideline, Judi

9:10 am

they are just cattle,tools or pawns to him pins on the board with a map on it

9:10 am

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

9:11 am

it does indeed,but he is finding out now that he is a smallish fish on a big pond

9:12 am

it is the political niceties that are saving his arse now

9:12 am

the EU is getting involved military now. It worries me a lot. Both for the people there and for how this will work out for Europe.

9:12 am

Political bungling is more like it.

9:12 am

we have planes and ships over there as well

9:13 am

I agree, Sprite, the unintended consequences are yet to be seen

9:13 am

Hi crossy - just got a Hi in before heading for my bed - 9 left but brain too tired and fuzzy so hope to finish tomorrow. Goodnight all.

9:13 am

yes, UN is involved too, indeed.

9:13 am

you never know,a private with a sniper rifle may make a ""mistake"" and we can end it fast

9:13 am

hi and bye SaraY, sleep well

9:13 am

9:15 am

2:00 pm

took lessons for about 24 years.

2:00 pm

I'm with you there Ruby but both sons play piano by ear, bass and guitar and the younger one plays the ukele

2:05 pm

seain, you give lessons? How wonderful

2:05 pm

Didn't know you are a musician, seain -- you definitely need to put more info in your profile!

2:05 pm

I guess we were put here to appreciate their talent, mom, after all somebody has to listen....

4:40 pm

*nods cause mouth is full*

4:46 pm

best cornbread *I* ever had was from a cafeteria in New Mexico - it had chunks of fresh corn and jalapenos in it, as well as cheese :-)

4:47 pm

anyway, hi, all! Student who was supposed to come in at 4 to take a makeup test actually showed up at 4:40 - he's lucky I was still here. So now I have to stay at least until 5:20 (or until he gives up, whichever comes sooner)

4:47 pm

That sounds like awesome cornbread Sue.

4:48 pm

hi Sue

4:48 pm

ugh, i hate when kids do that

4:48 pm

It was *fabulous*. And no sugar :-)

4:48 pm

I agree, hurshy. I am too nice.

4:54 pm

do you deduct an automatic 10% from the grade for tardiness?

I have 59 left. i did start at 2AM however.

4:54 pm

no, he was sick, so I make allowances.

4:55 pm

40 mins late to a 50 min test seems like more than a 10% deduction... sick, eh? hmmm

4:55 pm

ah

4:55 pm

Did you ever get some sleep, kap? I saw this morning that you'd been up pretty much all night.

4:56 pm

Well, the class took the test on Monday; he'd made several appointments to take it late because he was sick, and kept rescheduling them because he was still sick.

4:56 pm

hello again

4:56 pm

It is, however, not the same test.

4:56 pm

Hi, annie!

I got my ambien from the pharmacy and got 4 hours of sleep after the appraiser left.

4:56 pm

hi Annie

4:57 pm

hi lynxxxxie

4:57 pm

oh, good, kap.

4:57 pm

you're lucky, ambien made me throw up, i couldn't use it.

4:57 pm

can I get a clue for ma 6/27 ?

4:58 pm

hey, my 2:45 appt just showed up. only 15 minutes late, so not as bad as yours, uusue.

Ambien works for me . I'd rather have a slight dependence than have nights of insomnia.

4:59 pm

oh i agree. you just can't sleep when you're puking. i ended up on klonopin instead.

4:59 pm

I used it for quite a while, kap, and it worked ok for me (until my doc told me I couldn't be taking it every night - I had insomnia every night so I didn't see why not, but there you are).

It is hard to knock me out.

It is hard to knock me out.

Do you take klonopin every night or just sometimes

5:00 pm

every night

5:00 pm

ma6.27 a person who would rather die than give up their faith

5:01 pm

thanks lynxxx, I didnt get that the other day also

5:01 pm

one nice thing about today's grid is that every word seems to give you two or three more

I obsess a lot, so I obsess about whether I should keep something that works for me, and I obsessed so much I couldn't sleep

As we ascertained in this very chog, there is NO ONE who babbles who has any idea about OCD symptoms (yeah?)

thanks for the ma

5:03 pm

how can something be tremendous if there's no tremend?

5:19 pm

that's OK, we all get blind spots

5:20 pm

Annie, in a grid like this, it's easy to lose track of things. After a while, all the letters start swimming together and it's like a bad acid trip. : P

5:21 pm

this grid would go much faster if I used the list, down to 136 left.

5:21 pm

bad acid trip is right! I just refused to see that last letter. lynxxx had patience.

5:22 pm

na4 that proper noun! super NES hero

A bad acid trip for a Babbler anyway. Other people don't hallucinate letters, I think.

Something like "putting brain cells at your feet?"

5:30 pm

the proper noun wasn't an na4. i just can't say the normal na4 of the game, which is na4 that proper noun. the proper noun was just mario.

5:30 pm

All the paupers are a playin' putting braincells at my feet?

5:31 pm

7:40 pm

well, I finished the a's. Now on to the c's. Sigh.

7:40 pm

Knitting fascinates me. But I find all things made of yarn and wool too scratchy. I have thought about learning how to weave though. Cotton is my fabric of choice.

7:41 pm

you can knit with cotton yarn or silk - many choices besides wool

7:41 pm

she wants to teach me to crochet and im like i dont want to make doilies lol

you can crochet afgans.

7:41 pm

I didn't know that Teach. Silk would be fun.

Champ you are awesome!

8:16 pm

I am 9 lb down in 4 weeks!!!!!

8:16 pm

8:16 pm

Well done KJE!

8:16 pm

red... a tech on oe of my patients recorded a temp i the chart of 18 c... didn't even bother to otify anyoe

8:16 pm

How car? I just did a great diet too!

8:17 pm

ruru!!!! Freshie!

8:17 pm

good for you both though

8:17 pm

congrats car! will try to match you... I usually slow way down after week 1

8:18 pm

kje...as I said, I am here to help! I am using the food log on caloriecount.com and I find it so useful and very important for keeping track of my day.

8:18 pm

Hi there, car.

8:19 pm

Car, I think I just got that whole "Judgment Day" musical number. It wasn't about that Cuddy might die, it was about House being judged for his bad behavior.

8:19 pm

Hey Peach!

hi all

8:19 pm

cool, car - never heard of that site... will check it out

8:19 pm

May I please have a clufor the last st6-18? Thanks

8:19 pm

red!!!

another good site for calorie tracking etc is at livestrong.com

8:19 pm

Hi beach

8:19 pm

clue for, sorry.

8:19 pm

Love the site kje...and you can even enter a recipe and it breaks it down for you! Track your daily activity...including laundry, dishes, etc.

hi kje!

8:20 pm

Hi there, DR1965!

8:20 pm

hi peach

8:20 pm

Molly... I thought it was more about Cuddy....and that she liked the "wild ride" that is house

8:20 pm

red... did you see my post about the recorded temp

8:20 pm

hmmmm....interesting

8:20 pm

I did The Game On Diet. www.thegameondiet.com Played against running friends, which meant competition...worked like a charm.

I just saw it. Zombies I tell you. Zombies.

8:20 pm

But she doesn't like the wild ride Car. That's why she got off.

8:21 pm

clue for st 7/32

8:21 pm

yep

8:21 pm

small river?

8:21 pm

but it did make me laugh

8:21 pm

nm found it

8:21 pm

I think she really does

8:21 pm

small river plural

18 is perfect though, for a dead person.

8:21 pm

wanted to call the floor and say "is ms x dead?"

who has been dead a little while.

8:22 pm

How can pop-tarts be so bad for me?

Right on kje. you should have. ZOmbies,

8:22 pm

LOL red

And apologizes for the rudeness of my behavior to any floor nurses who are lurking.

8:22 pm

no sympathy from you

8:22 pm

I respectfully disagree. Anyone who has ever loved an addict comes to realize that their crazy, unpredictable behavior will always end in heartache. I think that is what this episode was trying to convey. Just my take.

8:23 pm

Car- some of them are actually approved for nutrional value for our after school program- how scary is that

8:23 pm

Could you honestly watch them be a couple Moll? No way.

8:23 pm

Molly...feel free to disagree!

8:24 pm

I thought it was dim to make them a couple in the first place. Why do people latch onto strong male/female leads and need them to hunker up?

8:24 pm

DR1965...my school district is only concerned about fat. Sugar? Who cares! Just stay under 30% fat cumulative for the week. GAH!

8:24 pm

Really...there wasn't much in it for Cuddy....

8:24 pm

It is sad - isnt it Champ

8:24 pm

Don't get me wrong...I love me some House! I meant relationship wise.

8:25 pm

Makes me angry. And then the teachers have issues with kids after lunch. REALLY? DUH!

8:25 pm

That was the point of the whole episode. Cuddy realizing that House would never be there for her, especially when it counts, because in House's world, it's all about House.

8:25 pm

I am eating a non-frosted strawberry pop=tart....1 pastry has 210 calories!

8:25 pm

Car..why?

8:25 pm

But that is why the show is called "house"!!! LOL!

8:25 pm

As in WHY eat it?

8:25 pm

House...heading to balcony....

8:26 pm

That freaked me out!!!!

8:26 pm

Champ....i am being bad.

8:26 pm

ta 7/32?

8:26 pm

Chicken...te7/32 plural

8:26 pm

This song, "my body is cage".....saw my niece dance to it last night!

8:27 pm

That idea continues in the next episode when Cuddy tells Wilson "When things go wrong, I don't want to hope that I'm not alone, I want to know it." Again, it's someone coming to terms with the fact that they are in love with an addict who will always choose addiction over them.

8:27 pm

crud...sorry! thought te

8:27 pm

kama sutra sex, ru

8:27 pm

clue for the last st7/36

8:27 pm

Cuddy = smart

8:27 pm

ad seriously? YOU eed a sex clue....

8:27 pm

thanks

8:28 pm

that''s uncomfortable sex

8:28 pm

poor wilson

8:28 pm

Car...don't be bad. It sounds trite, but food is fuel. Pop tarts have nothing to offer. You could eat a lot more for 200 calories that would actually hold you over.

8:30 pm

Old habits die hard....bad day, turning to wrong solution.

8:30 pm

I will refocus and be better again tomorrow.

8:30 pm

My thoughts on House are this...by the end of this season we are going to see redemption for House, or we are going to see him check out. At this point, House seems too self-destructive for redemption.

8:30 pm

I had to eat 5 meals a day, containing a carb, a protein and a fat, and lost weight. it was cool! I was full all the time.

8:31 pm

But Moll, he's the star! He'll do something stupid, but redeem or pretend to, in the end.

8:31 pm

I actually love that about dieting / eating right....all the smaller meals that keep you going.

8:31 pm

Hi all,

8:31 pm

st7 - same start, but ends in chem endig meaning

8:32 pm

as far as I know Molly, the series is not ending, so we will see......

8:32 pm

Hi blue!

8:32 pm

Hello blueheron.

8:32 pm

Champ, Hugh Laurie has only committed to 7 seasons. This is the 7th season.

8:32 pm

never done it before car, but did this time and it was way better than counting calories or points. Was able to run too.

8:32 pm

WHAT??? You have just burst my bubble Moll. HUGH...WE NEED YOU!!!

8:32 pm

What are your thoughts on what's happening in Japan?

8:33 pm

Oh no....I didn't know that.....will keep an eye on contract negotiations

8:34 pm

I liked Hugh Laurie Long ago when he was on Jeeves for PBS

8:35 pm

8:36 pm

8:36 pm

I just wish the people of Japan could get a break....

8:36 pm

Me too!

8:36 pm

No champ! Hang tough!

8:37 pm

I agree- Japan needs a break

8:37 pm

Is Hollywood planning a benefit for the people of Japan?

8:37 pm

OK...no shooting. Just whining...how's that? ;)

Cuddy + House = Functional vs. Dysfunctional. That never works out. Seriously, Cuddy is really going to take him back after he spent the weekend with various hookers? House knows he's not good enough for Cuddy, hence the self-destruction.

It's my daughter's 24th birthday today, or her 21C,as she put it on Facebook. She's in Aussieland at the moment and so got older some hours before she should have done. 21C refers to something I said years ago when being '13' was considered unlucky... ''Be 12A instead!' I said. Thus, '21C' = 24.

9:07 pm

car jac gramma et al. *grin* IT's FRIDAY!!! *celebrating Jac's mommyhood day with gusto*

9:07 pm

sweet dreams car.

9:07 pm

hello and excuse the interruption. I have a problem someone might help with. For the past couple of days I get a message when signing on to Babble: "Stop running this script? A script on this page is causing Internet Exporer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive." OK. But if I hit "yes," meaning turn-off-script -- whatever "script" means -- then I get no chog and no total on my Word List. So I'm saying "No" Anyone else have this? Know what "script" is?

9:08 pm

jwr - you need to clean your intenet cache.

9:09 pm

thanks, I'll try that.

9:09 pm

The simplest way to do this is to go to http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

9:09 pm

a script is a snippet of computer code that causes something to happen, but sometimes isn't essential.

9:09 pm

they charge for that one

9:09 pm

ccleaner

9:10 pm

stid - cleaning your internet cache daily IS essential, I think.

9:10 pm

it can simply be an issue of compatibility, the program that is trying to run having been written for a slightly different version of a browser, for example.

9:10 pm

you can do a lot of the cleaning yourself

9:10 pm

I don't have to pay for cc cleaner, Shirlockc.

9:10 pm

I though that was the same as deleting browsing history. Are they different?

9:11 pm

hmmm, i tried it today and they're charged $30 to download

9:11 pm

the cache and the history are not the same things

9:11 pm

it's not that expensive

9:11 pm

jwr - yes, you can delete your browing history. That will help a lot.

9:11 pm

but you can do some of the cleaning if you go to system tools

9:12 pm

But the cache needs clearing out, too. I do it daily.

9:13 pm

Does anyone need any clues for today's kindly monster grid?

9:14 pm

9:14 pm

*greEn!

9:14 pm

probably, Jac, but so tired I am just heading for 100 found and NBT and then I am turning into a pumpkin and crawling in bed. Didn't even have the energy to go hear the boys play in a talent show today. *sigh* New situations, even good ones are exhausting.

9:15 pm

Stid - it ain't easy being a new teacher on the block, or in the staffroom. ((hugs))x

9:15 pm

thanks Jac! ((hugs back))

9:16 pm

9:21 pm

9:22 pm

9:22 pm

9:22 pm

9:22 pm

ty Jac, Stid, Shirl -- nothing's gotten rid of it unless I check "no" (which I did to write this. It doesn't happen with any other website & my "Delete History" cleans up seven things, including cookies. So I'll stay where I am for now. Appreciate your help, techies!

Damn! Other Half cam home late from a bad day at work, drank lots of red wine, watched TV nd then fell asleep snoring loudly with TV still on. I switched TV off, covered him with a furry throw/blanket, shut the doors and hoped I'd get a night in a cool bed upstairs for my night sweats, and no one snoring like a styfull of piigs to disturb me. However, it seems he's slipped past me and got into bed now. I do love him! Make no mistake about that, but, if we had the money to have adjoining rooms...

9:31 pm
