very nice icons! Jilli, I almost picked the same as you did.

great minds, sprite!

1:39 am

hello vanillaslice

hi sprite are you getting any summer?

1:40 am

ty vanilla

1:40 am

thank you nilla

yw

1:40 am

none whatsoever. It is raining cats, dogs and whales here.

and plural

whales is a change lol

1:41 am

wish it would rain here!

1:41 am

our land is burning

1:41 am

*sending all excess rain to cwest*

1:41 am

what are you blubbering about sprite

1:42 am

we need some of that whale rain here!!

1:42 am

don't rain on my parade, ruru

1:42 am

well it mustn't be a fluke that you are getting rain

1:42 am

you orca cut that out

1:43 am

thanks ruru

1:43 am

lol

1:43 am

look, I am keeping my finger in the dike the whole time and still everything is wet.

1:44 am

did you do that on porpoise jilli?

where did the queen go on her birthday walk this year sprite?

1:44 am

I don't know, didn't run into her this year

I stood in the rain in Deventer in 2003 and never got to see her but had a great time

1:45 am

what do queens really do ?

1:45 am

turtle nag, nag, nag, ruru

1:45 am

be queenly?

wait till ou stand out there to see her go past...you'll know!

1:46 am

I really don't get the royalty thing.. what a waste of money

1:47 am

hah... roses are red, ....... are blue, some poems rhyme, others don't.

tradition, emotion, the fav princes and prinecesses

1:47 am

I am not cut out for it either. But wait until our royal house is attacked from abroad. THEN I will feel it is MY queen you are talking about.

in Holland they walk among the people

1:48 am

yeah.. well.. have you seen those hats on the royals at the wedding??.. who dressed them in tradition

part of the anomalies

and the hats sell well

1:49 am

do they clog up the traffic nilla?

nobody worries when they have a good time

1:50 am

yes, they do. Our royal house is loved, and Holland is easygoing in that respect. We even had, with queen Juliana, a good-bye show for her to thank her, and the host kissed her on the cheek to congratulate her. Way outside protocol, much appreciated by queen and public.

takes the mind off reality for a day

1:50 am

I enjoy the monarchy thing, always have.

1:50 am

lol no, those ha4 are just awful. Especially the ones our queen wears.

we had a pm here who dared to put his arm around Bessie

1:51 am

hehehe good for him

1:51 am

You asked about the role of royalty (presumably meaning British) and then immediately launch into an attach on fashion. Typical American ignorance - you can't take the time to understand or read up on the history and significance of the role of monarchy over here so you attack it. As it happens, the Queen is regarded by all sides as being a very astute political analyst and adviser, a role she has occupied for nearly 60 years.

see how it stirs emotions!!!!

1:52 am

hello Haz. I was talking about the dutch queen, actually. Who takes a personal interest in politics and social matters.

1:53 am

I know, sprite, but ruru was attaching OUR Queen and I'm furious.

not many queens anymore but they're worth their weight in gold

1:53 am

ruru just enjoys drawing out discussions, I think

1:54 am

no.. I think she means me sprite.. I just don't understand the royal thing.. supporting the whole royal family and not understanding what they really do. I feel the same way about much of our Senate and congresspeople

Austraia would long ao have become a republic if it wasnt for the queen

1:54 am

Canada too, methinks.

1:54 am

vanilla, the question is often raised here whether the queen/royal house is worth the money it costs. But then they compare to what presidents cost... not that much of a difference.

sotrue and I'd hate to elect a president

1:55 am

maybe you should ask to be allowed to tag along with them for a week or month, ruru. To see what they do, I mean.

1:55 am

I guess I could understand the queen ..but doesn't england pay for Charles and all the other royals at great expense too?

1:56 am

I've lived through two Kings and now the Queen. Hard to explain the feeling of continuity and anchorage.

1:56 am

Then find out about it, ruru, find out instead of trotting out cliches.

1:56 am

No, Charles isn't supported by the Queen, he derives his income from the Duchy of Cornwall.

1:57 am

And it's not just England, there's a United Kingdon.

1:57 am

well, one thing I do like about the queen: she gives a great continuality (??) to our country's public face, without the backdraw of dictatorship, or even just-too-long political leadership.

continualitation

1:57 am

Read some history, read how the monarchy has changed its role so that it now works alongside as a servant of parliament rather than its master. Find out!

1:57 am

and the Commonwealth

1:58 am

I don't know about other countries, but here the queen works more than full time, and the heir to the throne actually works for a living.

1:58 am

And if you want to talk about waste of money, let's count up how much money is spent on electing a new president in the US every four years.

1:58 am

thanks vanilla, I knew that word of mine was wrong.

I dread the day Aus becomes republic

lol

1:59 am

vanilla's is silly, lol!

1:59 am

I agree with that .. ridiculous amounts of money even for Congressional seats.

2:00 am

Haz, I often wonder, not about the money, but about the focus of the politicians in question. It seems to me those elections take away so much time and energy and attention from governing the country.

2:00 am

And when you start to make noises about Britain being impoverished by trying to keep up a royal family, consider that Britiain gives MORE foreign aid than any other country.

2:00 am

*grin* silly but soooo much better!

2:00 am

you sure, Haz? Even more than the netherlands?

2:00 am

Every four years the politicians say what they think the people want to hear.

This is all great stuff...my country

This is all great stuff...my country

This is all great stuff...my country

This is all great stuff...my country

2:02 am

don't go overboard here haz.. I just didn't understand her role and what she really does.

2:02 am

According to headlines in the papers, sprite, I can't give figures.

this is all great stuff...MY COUNTRY!!!!

2:03 am

me neither, Haz, was just wondering. In my memory something says: we do. But that might just be a chauvinistic thing.

2:03 am

Fine, you don't understand but you still criticise. My argument is that if you took the time to understand and find out her role, then you might change your mind. It's like me criticising a wine without ever having tasted it.

In the meantime i made fireworks!!!

2:03 am

vanilla, honey, we get the point, LOLLLL

2:03 am

and WTG on the fireworks!

2:03 am

whoopee, vanilla!

ty all and Lickety, must bid you well

2:04 am

ok, at an aside: if cluque isn't a word, what does a chicken say?

2:04 am

cluck

suspense...

2:05 am

hah. That is just your average chicken. Any chicken of status would say cluque.

2:05 am

toodles, vanilla

2:05 am

bye vanilla, have a good day/night

poof

2:05 am

you're so right, sprite

2:06 am

omg they start drilling again. For God's sake hurry up and let's get it over with at last!

2:07 am

and I missed an opportunity there, jilli... I should have said: any royal chicken ;)

2:09 am

of course

2:12 am

17 words to go and I'm off to bed, goodnight all

2:12 am

well done, flosey. Sleep well.

2:13 am

so far, I am finding this grid rather tight.

2:13 am

ty sprite

2:13 am

it seems to ease up a bit once you get into it

2:14 am

49 left and slowing down hard

2:16 am

wd flosey -- I've been distracted by Jon Stewart on TV

2:21 am

I have 28 to go at this point

2:21 am

wow good, jilli. 43 here still... not much speed left, lol

2:24 am

but I've run out of steam -- now 26 left for tomorrow and I'm packing it in -- good day/night all...*poof

2:24 am

night jilli, sleep well

2:25 am

Bye, jillibus.

2:26 am

Haz, when a baby chicken is forced out of its egg, wouldn't you say it was ovicted?

2:27 am

You'd think.

2:27 am

the poor thing could even be called an ovictee

2:28 am

From a lower class egg it'd be something of a yoquel.

2:29 am

too true. A little bit white around the eyes.

2:36 am

An egg that you'd ovoid .

2:36 am

lol liz!

2:36 am

Hello, liz.

2:37 am

Hello Haz, and Sprite. N.I. and Netherlands cold and wet?

2:38 am

It's certainly not warm.

2:38 am

not really cold here, but unpleasant. And very wet.

2:38 am

No wonder we're obsessed with the weather.

2:39 am

I thought that after the winter we'd deserve a proper summer.

2:39 am

We may deserve it but it seems we're not getting it.

2:39 am

we might get it yet, Haz. A late Summer.

2:39 am

Hope springs eternal, I suppose.

2:40 am

autumn of rule... or vice versa

2:41 am

Indeed, Haz. How often have we looked for an "Indian summer" only to realise that it's Christmas in 3 weeks time!!

2:41 am

hm, an Indian Christmas. Could be interesting.

2:42 am

I know. Once the first snow flakes fall you kind of know that the summer dream is over for another year.

2:42 am

one swallow doesn't make Summer, one flake doesn't make summer a fluke

2:44 am

good morning everybody

2:45 am

morning rubyfoo

2:46 am

Right, moan over. Now I'll boast a bit while I've got a captive audience. I'm off to St.Andrews tomorrow as my son is being presented with the Principal's Medal for outstanding contribution to the Uni. Black tie dinner, ceremony and garden(brolly) party. Apparently it's not a long service medal, or so he says indignantly.

2:46 am

Well done! (And is there any money attached?)

2:46 am

wow liz, congratulations, you must be so proud of him

2:46 am

way to go, proud mom!

2:47 am

There is indeed. £1000.

2:47 am

Good man. That'll clear his bar bill.

2:48 am

And what now for him, liz? More studies or is he looking for work?

2:49 am

Tight wee b****r wil HAVE to buy us lunch now. Don't know about the bar bill though, he's been studenting for 10 years now. You can shift a fair amount of beer in that time!

2:49 am

10 years. His brain must be enormous.

2:49 am

ok you had me looking for that b....r word.

2:53 am

He IS working, Haz, or so he says. Seriously, he's applying for research fellowships, which sound a lot like more studenting to me. He's doing some lecturing at St. Andrews to pay the bills just now, so it looks like he might be able to stay a student for ever.

2:54 am

One fingered typing works up an appetite, breakfast time. BBL.

2:54 am

He obviously just loves learning, bless him. At least he's starting to bring in some money.

2:54 am

Enjoy breakfast!

2:54 am

fireflies. Bye all, have a good day/night.

2:54 am

Bye, sprite.

3:56 am

yay! I just hireed a new housekeeper as the old one is leaving at the end of June.

3:57 am

I am so happy

4:17 am

hello herin!!!

4:17 am

I have just seen you exiting lately, haven't been on at the same times.

4:17 am

How are you?

4:54 am

Morning all

6:00 am

hello

6:00 am

anyone have a suggestion for an e-reader that can web surf, that is not very expensive?

6:06 am

mrs2bit likes her kindle, but it is not color

6:07 am

<--- Doesn't understand why a device meant to read black and white print needs to be color

6:08 am

true, but if you want something to surf the web, color is better than not

6:09 am

That's true 2Bit, I tend to think one-dimensionally.

6:10 am

I also want something I can bluetooth or usb a keybd to.

6:10 am

my fingers seem to be too big for on screen, plus the fingerprints, yuck

6:11 am

suefrad I think you are in ipad world if you want all that

6:12 am

lol

6:12 am

i don't think the nook does external kb, but I am not positive

6:12 am

dont like ipad, dont like I anything really. respect the company, dont like proprietary

6:12 am

I dont think so either dan

I don't have i-pad, book, phone etc- or kindle. Which probably means that in the enxt decade I will be stuck with all of them- because I said the same about cellphones ...

Phantom Catholics!

6:17 am

<---Stuck in the past with Kap. I do have an Ipod though, but rarely use it.

"The past" means two years ago...

6:19 am

I'd also consider it torture to have to use a Mac. Can't stand that operating system.

6:19 am

I wish I could find a blown up version of my phone

6:19 am

that is all I would need

6:21 am

I think you could get something like that, they are expensive though. Go to your local wireless store and tell them what you're looking for.

6:21 am

i like my sony reader

6:24 am

can you surf ivey

6:25 am

morning all. clue for the sh 6/21 please

6:26 am

never really checked into that part.. so far only uses for reading.. but i dont think so.. think u hve to go ipad for that.

6:28 am

just checked out that sue.. says if u want to surf web the kindle is the way to go...kindle arent compatible with librarys yet, though they are working on it

6:29 am

Hi ruby, Molly

hello bichon

6:55 am

are you missing St. Petersburg's white nights?

6:56 am

HERE, IT IS LIGHT UNTIL 11pm AND AGAIN BEFORE 5

6:56 am

Been there, home since the 6th

6:56 am

sorry, didn't mean to shout

6:56 am

ruby, in France it's light until 11? Aren't you at the same latitude as us?

6:56 am

there was an article on St. P in the NYT travel section the other day

6:57 am

Love that city. Wish we had lots more time there

6:57 am

no, we're farther north I guess. I was surprised at how long the days are

6:57 am

of course, the obverse is that the days are VERY short in Dec

6:58 am

Ok that makes sense, we're even with Madrid and Rome

6:58 am

ahah

6:58 am

living in Florida, I was never aware of that question

7:03 am

Duh! TY Ruby!

7:03 am

Hi doseffing!

7:03 am

morning, all

7:03 am

hi and bye sue

7:03 am

my son has really done it now :-(

7:03 am

Hi uusue!

7:03 am

what has he lost now?

7:03 am

what sue?

7:03 am

Oh no....

7:03 am

Bye Ruby!

7:04 am

his mind, I think

7:04 am

what did he do?

7:04 am

you know that boys don't mature til their late twenties

7:04 am

crazy GF called him last night, told him someone was following her and she was scared

7:04 am

I thought it was their late 40's

7:04 am

and...

7:05 am

so he drove her home, she turned on him, broke his glasses (the new ones), started strangling him, he yelled for the police

7:05 am

yes, ruby, mine's 38 and he still....

7:05 am

who came and arrested them both. he's charged with domestic battery

7:05 am

Good god!

7:05 am

oy sue

7:05 am

that is horrible! is she using drugs?

7:05 am

alcohol

7:05 am

she told the police that he had done to her everything she'd done to him

7:06 am

what are you gong to do, hire a lawyer?

7:06 am

Maybe now he will realize and take the appropriate steps....

7:06 am

among other things, bichon

7:06 am

he'll be in court at 9 this morning

7:06 am

I

7:06 am

{{sue}}

7:07 am

did he have to spend the night in jail :-(

7:07 am

Sue, I am so sorry. Sending you lots of {{hugs}} and good energy, but also prayers for all of you.

7:07 am

I'll have to post bail for him

7:07 am

he's still there

7:07 am

You should have your son go to an Al-Anon meeting today.

7:07 am

and the girl got sent home?

7:07 am

Have you spoken with him yet?

7:08 am

*sigh* I am still in shock, haven't seen him yet

7:08 am

no, they arrested her too, they've charged them both

7:08 am

Well that is good. They must have been able to tell she was drunk off her rocker.

7:08 am

do you know her parents?

7:08 am

not really, ruby

7:09 am

he called me at 5:30 this morning from the police station,

7:09 am

that sounds like a real nightmare!

7:09 am

did they give her a beathalyzer test

7:09 am

i guess I'm his one phone call

7:09 am

Not to mention...if your son is the one with all the scratches, broken glasses, etc. The police SHOULD be able to figure this out.

7:09 am

dunno, bichon, although she did throw up all over him, apparently

7:09 am

(((Sue))) I truly hope this madness ends soon. Your nerves must be shot.

7:09 am

and I suspect he was drinking as well

7:10 am

yeah, the police don't see it as their job to figure it out, that's what the courts are for

7:10 am

were they driving?

7:10 am

he was but not at the time

7:11 am

oh, and she ripped up the inside of my car, too

7:11 am

Are you kidding me?!?! Of course it is THEIR job!

7:11 am

at least your son is safe

7:11 am

cup holders were all over her lawn

7:11 am

yeah, ruby, i'm toying with the idea of leaving him there

7:11 am

Do you have pictures and did you file a report?

7:11 am

tough love is good

7:11 am

except I'm afraid he'd get beat up in jail

7:12 am

it might be the lesson he needs.....

7:12 am

I have pictures but no report on the car yet

7:12 am

is it a bad jail?

7:12 am

Is her family going to be able to get her out?

7:12 am

I have no idea, ruby, this is not the sort of thing I have researched :-(

7:12 am

is there such a thing as a good jail?

7:12 am

Hello everyone

7:12 am

Hi Lynxxx

7:13 am

hello lynxxx!!!!

7:13 am

hi lynxxx

7:13 am

and I don't know, car, her father actually had her arrested and charged with battery a couple of years ago althought the charges were dropped

7:13 am

I would think some small town jails might be OK for giving such a boy a good chance to think things over

7:13 am

anyway, hi, lynxxx, welcome to my useless drama

7:13 am

It's all grim Sue. Hope your son comes out of it with stronger resolve to terminate the relationship finally

7:13 am

it's the county jail, ruby, small county but who knows?

7:14 am

Her ass needs to stay right where it is. She is a danger to your son, your family and herself. Unless they put her in rehab...which actually may be the best place for her.

7:14 am

how old is she?

7:14 am

yeah, he's determined right now but he was determined after she smashed his door too

7:14 am

I think I would visit him there before bailing him out.....

7:14 am

she's 19, he's 21

7:15 am

if it's not full of murderers, I'd let him stew a bit

7:15 am

she certainly needs a lot of help. I think he does too; he's been in this abusive relationship for over 4 years now and doesn't seem to know how to get out of it

7:16 am

well, there are a couple, ruby, I don't know how much access they have to each other

7:16 am

maybe your lawyer will know if he's safe

7:16 am

Will your son go to counseling Sue?

7:17 am

anyway I am going to bury myself in the grid and pretend I have someone else's life

7:17 am

what does your son do? Is he in school, work?

7:17 am

I hpoe so, car

7:17 am

sometimes they dont have a choice. they are forced to go to counseling thru the courts

7:17 am

and he's a student, bichon, at the university where I teach

7:17 am

((Sue))

7:18 am

Well, that would be the bargaining chip. You will get him out only if he goes to counseling.

7:18 am

has he gone to counseling?

7:18 am

I was thinking of taking him to the domestic violence shelter anyway for counseling, sigh

7:18 am

and she may not have a choic either sue, rehab or jail.

7:18 am

he hasn't, bichon

7:18 am

HI ivesy.

7:18 am

And Bichon...good mornign to you.

7:18 am

and I hope she gets help, ivesy, but right now I don't really care what happens to her (mean of me but there it is)

7:18 am

morning car

7:19 am

maybe you and him going together. At least, at first

7:19 am

anyway, hi everybody, I am going to go away for a while...

7:19 am

oh i would feel the same way ..

7:19 am

thoughts and love are with you sue

7:19 am

bye sue, bear up!!!

7:19 am

I know someone who has been down this road. This is his rock bottom Sue. He needs to get his act together now.

7:20 am

Sue, I am always here for you. Don't hide if you need support and someone to talk to. Lots of love and hugs.

7:20 am

1:05 pm

hi peri :)

1:06 pm

hi annie

1:06 pm

hi jmc :)

1:07 pm

well when i find the ov5 i will let you know if i think it is common

1:07 pm

ok

1:08 pm

i do not think it is common at all - even after looking up the definition, i don't think i would ever have a use for it - a convex molding forming or approximating in section a quarter of a circle or ellipse.

1:08 pm

I agree wv

1:08 pm

I just found it and I do not think it is a common word...pretty tho

1:08 pm

well i HAVE heard of the word but I would not call it common

1:09 pm

I monkeyed like crazy and finally found it on morwords

1:09 pm

(partly because I apparently can't count)

4:33 pm

sorry, didn't mean to kill the chog....

4:33 pm

Hello Peoples

4:33 pm

4:34 pm

4:36 pm

hi, crossy! hope your day has been better than mine :-P

4:37 pm

Hello crosshair

4:37 pm

gotta wait til pay day for me to throw money

4:38 pm

I am over half way through this grid but it is like pulling te***

4:38 pm

ty for the clue hadnt gotten there yet :)

4:39 pm

always glad to help :-)

4:40 pm

hi sue, things better this afternoon?

4:40 pm

hi bichon, somewhat. at least we have a plan.

4:41 pm

plans are a good thing

4:42 pm

indeed. I took him to the doctor and he is ok (lots of bruises and scrapes but nothing broken) and we have an appointment with a lawyer on Thursday.

4:43 pm

Oh my. I hav'nt been on babble for almost a week. Sounds like you have trouble, Sue???

4:43 pm

ouch! gotta be hurtin

4:43 pm

hi bichon and Soodlebum

4:44 pm

well glad things seem to be moving this afternoon

4:44 pm

hi sadie and soodle

4:44 pm

Hi Sadie:-), and everybody else...

4:46 pm

hi, soodle, my son's gf attacked him last night - actually tried to strangle him (to the point where he was losing consciousness); he screamed for the police; when they came she told them he'd dragged her out of the car by her hair (since there were no marks on her and he is pretty beaten up) and they arrested him. he's been charged with domestic battery.

4:47 pm

but he is doing ok, at least physically; I bailed him out of jail this morning. Looking for counseling for him, and for someone who recognizes that men can be domestic violence victims. Sigh.

4:47 pm

Holy Moses!!!! Sue, I am very sorry to hear that. How worrisome for you.

4:49 pm

we are coping but it is, to say the least, stressful.

4:49 pm

and he is a genuinely nice kid, never laid a hand on her. she also trashed the inside of my car while this was going on.

4:50 pm

(((((Hugs)))) to Sue. I can imagine its a very difficult situation for you all. My thoughts are with you.

4:51 pm

oh my goodness Sue I hope everything works out for him !

4:51 pm

thx, soodle :-) it is tough

4:51 pm

Have you spoken with her parents?

4:51 pm

I talked to her mother at the jail (she was charged with alcohol violations as a minor) but with the charges against my son we should keep away from her too now

4:52 pm

She seems to be a gril with big problems.

4:52 pm

the only thing they charged her with was alcohol? Strange

4:53 pm

Hope this all works out well for you and yor son sue

4:53 pm

gosh that's awful. i hope she will be persuaded to be honest and your son is quickly cleared of all blame.

4:53 pm

she is, soodle, and she needs help. and my son keeps wanting to rescue her. but he really can't help her.

4:53 pm

you definitely can't rescue someone who strangles you.

4:53 pm

Ditto what Hurshy said.

4:54 pm

well, there's yelling and screaming, the cops come, she says she's been abused, that's all they need to hear. most domestic violence is indeed men abusing women; he just happens to be the unfortunate exception.

4:54 pm

*sneaks in and hugs soodles and hurshy* (In the middle of an online -expensive- seminar... back soon) *POOF*

4:54 pm

and the way the statutes are written here, he's guilty even if he didn't lay a hand on her, if he provoked her into attacking him.

4:55 pm

One of the soap operas here had a story-line on domestic abuse against men. It was fictional, but quite an eye-opener.

4:56 pm

apparently it is more common than one might think, soodle. (although I am thinking about it a lot more now than I ever expected I would!)

4:56 pm

people dont realize it is a two way street not always men against women

4:57 pm

I have to go now - but, once again, Sue, my thoughts and prayers are with you. And Hugs right back atcha Stiddy!!

4:59 pm

thx!!! it is appreciated more than you can know

5:04 pm

reading back(((sue))) my father also had a history of "poison women" after mum passed and tell your son i hope he gets things all settled asap

5:04 pm

thx, crossy! it will be a process but we will get through it.

5:11 pm

Hello all! uusue2, you have my heartfelt sympathy. My son married a woman like that. Accused him of rape, ruined his Coast Guard career. Put him in bankruptcy. But he finally stopped going back to her, got a divorce and is now excelling in his life...there will be a light at the end of this. (((hugs))

5:12 pm

So, I know what you are going thru!

5:16 pm

back. gee sue, I am so sorry this happene.d

5:16 pm

((stid))

5:17 pm

thx, jilly and stid! It is amazing how many similar stories there are...

STIDDDDD---Hi everybody; coming to you from sunny Evanston wyoming

5:18 pm

hi, mcurl! sunny sounds good :-)

hear it's a little wet back home though

hear it's a little wet back home though

5:19 pm

hey mcurl! VERY sunny and warm here, a lovely solstice day!

5:19 pm

Finally some nice warm weather here :-)

5:19 pm

glad to hear you made it there safely, mcurl.

5:20 pm

ooh!!! y'all made me look out the window, and there's a rainbow!!!!!!!!!!!

well, as we all know "my" back home can be so total different from everyone else's back home where Washington it concerned!

5:20 pm

yaaa! rainbow for sue:))

5:21 pm

Major like uusue

5:21 pm

sue, important to get good information. if you haven't been there yet, http://www.ilcadv.org/

5:21 pm

I don't see any significant clouds out "your" way mcurl, but it did take a while for the liquid sun to burn off this morning! LOL

My "source" was a call from the morning so glad to hear it cleared up. A little windy here in WY right now.

5:23 pm

brb phone

5:25 pm

ooh, thx, stid! That is very helpful.

5:26 pm

at least there is relief that they have no kids together that she can use as weapons or pawns..or i hope not

5:29 pm

My son had a step-son; I loved him so and just cringe at the life he has with that horrible woman as a mother...he was such a sweet little boy :(

5:29 pm

back. apparently clouds have started to cover the south-east part of my peninsula, so perhaps it is going to be gray again quickly. *sigh*

5:29 pm

happy solstice, cross! ((hugs))

5:29 pm

*sending sunshine back east to stid*

5:30 pm

yaaaa the solstice!

5:30 pm

no, no kids, crossy, thank goodness!!!

5:30 pm

(((stidmama))

5:31 pm

then he can do a nice clean break while she is learning the fine art of folding prison laundry

5:31 pm

thanks jilly!

5:32 pm

I just wish that people who have "issues" would feel less stigmatized -- and so seek help sooner. Of course, sometimes a symptom of the issue is that they can't see a need to change...

5:33 pm

(((Sue))) at least he's learning this lesson young, instead of after 10 years of marriage and two kids.

5:33 pm

*tosses choclits at Molly*

5:33 pm

indeed molly

5:34 pm

*Happily eats choclits* Jilly, sorry to hear about your son, glad to hear he's turned it around.

5:34 pm

Great picture of your guys, Stid.

5:35 pm

Thanks Molly! My four guys... riemann is, of course, part of the family! LOL

5:35 pm

THanks molly!! He's in college now in Virginia and it's all behind him...and us. but I sure remember what it was like; can't erase that memory

5:36 pm

I firmly believe that the "constant rescuer" is in need of as much help as the "constant victim".

5:36 pm

indeed, molly!

5:37 pm

*sits on hands and refuses to rescue the stidkids who have not been keeping up with schoolwork this last semester...*

5:37 pm

That AND I now have a real understanding of why and how people keep going back again and again...

5:37 pm

and I should have stuck to my guns; been reading the info in the link stid sent and now that he's been charged it's not clear that he can get an order of protection against her

5:37 pm

I believe that he can... and he should try. YOU should also do this, given that she has already damaged your home.

5:37 pm

Oh crap, I missed some of this. What has he been charged with?

5:37 pm

he's already contacted the local shelter and they've refused to help him

5:38 pm

She is in need of help, and won't get it unless forced to -- which a court can order.

5:38 pm

sue, shelters for men are rare, but perhaps he has a friend in a nearby town that she doesn't know?

5:38 pm

domestic battery, molly, after his gf beat and tried to strangle him (he has rather impressive bruises all over his face and neck)

5:39 pm

In our state, anyone who has been charged with abuse is automatically put on a restraining order against the suspected abused person. If they have both been charged with that, there should be restraining orders on both of them.

5:40 pm

he was the only one charged (he was also the only one with injuries, go figure)

5:40 pm

Sue, do you know if his bruises were photographed by the police? That will come in handy later.

5:40 pm

and there is a 72-hour order against him

5:41 pm

and yes, they photographed him, as did we, and I took him to the doctor (no photos there but there will be a record of his injuries)

5:41 pm

That is good Sue. I can't believe the ignorant cops only charged him.

5:41 pm

she has already tried to contact him on facebook and text message

5:42 pm

I can't either, molly, especially as she had no injuries. they told him he should have run away (and left her to complete her trashing of our car, I suppose)

5:42 pm

A good attorney will sort all this out, try not to worry. I trust he has her blocked on Facebook and his phone.

5:43 pm

i hope so, molly!!!!

5:43 pm

anyway frank is here to take me home - see you all later!!!! sorry for all the drama :-(

5:43 pm

Molly, the abused person syndrome is so very hard...mine just would not block his ex

5:43 pm

If this is his first offense, and you can prove that she was equally violent, he can probably plead down to disorderly conduct.

5:43 pm

Bye Sue...((hugs))

5:45 pm

Oh Jilly, I know of this, unfortunately. I have a good friend who went through something very similar to your son. At the time, I wanted to shake some good sense into him.

5:49 pm

he was stationed in Seattle and I flew out to get him thru the time she had accused him of rape. I remember standing on the balcony of my brother-in-laws condo praying angels to uphold him as he walked back to CG boat as I was so afraid he'd try suicide...bad memories...

5:50 pm

Angels have special ears for Mothers Jilly. I'm sure they heard you.

5:51 pm

I know they did!!

5:57 pm

Well, halfway done, gonna quit for now...bbl

5:57 pm

***hugs all*** gotta go, see you-all tomorrow! *poof*

6:25 pm

anyone left?

6:26 pm

i guess not

6:26 pm

bbl

6:28 pm

oops, I missed jmc! Bummer!

je!

6:32 pm

Popping in and out. Hello all.

hello molly

6:36 pm

hi, molly and TO! popping in and out myself...

6:39 pm

I'm catching up on last week's Memphis Beat. I love that show.

6:39 pm

don't know it, molly - music, I presume?

6:40 pm

No, well kind of. Cop drama on TNT. The lead character is a cop by day, blues singer by night.

6:40 pm

oh, sounds interesting!

6:40 pm

(I like cop dramas)

6:41 pm

TNT runs full episodes on their web site if you ever want to check it out. I never seem to catch anything live.

hi all

6:42 pm

Hi Tea

6:42 pm

I will, molly! I only get really basic cable (stuff you could get if you had an antenna) so no extra channels

6:42 pm

and hi, tea!

hi uu hi tea

6:45 pm

uusue! I was hoping you would be here. How did it go today?

6:47 pm

OK...just read back through the chog. I am all caught up.

6:48 pm

Tough times for our (((Sue)))

6:48 pm

hi, car, we are ok.

6:49 pm

I am glad to hear that. Please have him (or you) record every text, FB, voicemail, etc message that she sends. You will need them.

6:50 pm

Very good advice Car.

6:50 pm

yes, we're doing that (and she's already messaging him - I have told him that he is UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES to reply to her, as that could turn what is now a misdemeanor charge against him into a felony)

6:51 pm

she's already admitted guilt to him but in a way that probably won't be too useful in court (although it might help)

6:51 pm

Print out what you can. Record anything you can. He CANNOT answer her. Does he get that?

6:51 pm

I think so, car.

6:52 pm

How is he doing? Is he seeing the light?

6:52 pm

He must be very rattled from all of this.

6:52 pm

it seems so; he is pretty despondent and is feeling abused by the legal system as well as by her

6:53 pm

Sue, who pressed charges? Her, or the cops?

6:53 pm

I am so sorry you are all having to go through this. Try your best to get him to a counselor / therapist.

6:53 pm

but I do have a lawyer for him, and will be getting him into counseling shortly (although the local domestic violence shelter won't talk to him - that bummed him out too)

6:53 pm

the cops, molly

6:54 pm

Unbelievable. He is the one with all the bruises and they pressed charges against HIM?

6:55 pm

He has a lot to feel upset about.

6:55 pm

yep. they talked to her first, she told them he'd pulled her out of the car by the hair (so no marks) and then told him everything he said was bull****

6:55 pm

one of the cops was kind of sympathetic, but the rest not so much

6:56 pm

and it may be that the bruises hadn't really had time to develop; I'll bet he looks a lot worse now than he did at first

6:56 pm

Let your lawyer know about the sympathetic cop. That could come in handy later.

6:56 pm

Unfortunately, that is the generally the norm.

6:56 pm

will do, molly!

6:57 pm

I find it very sad that the domestic abuse place won't talk to him.

6:57 pm

as do I, but if on record the charges are against him, they don't want to have anything to do with him.

6:57 pm

yeah, he was really bummed by that, molly (but he's been accused of abuse and they deal with victims...)

6:58 pm

Sorry...that is at least what I am assuming in why they won't talk to him...

6:58 pm

I think so, car

6:58 pm

Dear God, the falsely accused really have nowhere to turn, do they?

6:58 pm

nope.

6:59 pm

it can be a real nightmare, mollly

6:59 pm

Well, given her history of hysterical and violent behavior, I think a good attorney can get this cleared up. That's what I will pray for Sue.

7:00 pm

thanks, molly, I really appreciate it!

7:00 pm

I have to get this huge file done. I just wanted to make sure you and your son were OK sue. Hang tough. Talk / call if you need support. I will be praying for you and your son...and also for her. She needs help desperately.

7:00 pm

I believe in the power of positive thought Sue.

7:00 pm

thx, car!! and you are right about her...

7:01 pm

Thanks for the reminder Car. I always forget to pray for the one that is irritating me.

7:02 pm

when we had the shooting on campus 3 years ago, one of the churches put up 6 crosses - one each for the murdered students and one for the shooter - people ripped down the 6th cross but I get it...

7:04 pm

I think if we neglect to pray for the misguided, they stay misguided.

7:07 pm

Absolutely. They need prayers too...although I agree it is NOT easy to do sometimes.

7:07 pm

Good night my friends. I will be thinking of you all! {{hugs}}

7:07 pm

indeed.

7:08 pm

Oh...and Sue...take your son's phone in with you when you go to bed.

7:08 pm

night, car, and that won't be easy...

7:08 pm

Evening everyone. May I please have a clue for sh6-21? tHANKS

7:09 pm

If she calls while he is sleeping, he may just answer it without thinking.

7:09 pm

Hi gapeach!

7:09 pm

good thinking, car!

7:09 pm

and hi, peach!

7:09 pm

*poof*

7:09 pm

Hey there, car. Hope all is well with you

7:09 pm

7:10 pm

Hi there, uusue2

7:11 pm

ty uusue.

7:11 pm

it means a small town: sh + Vietnamese holiday (famous battle during Vietnam war) + consonant

7:11 pm

it only has one vowel in it...

7:11 pm

I am truly sorry about all of the problems you and your son are having now. Will be praying for you all.

7:12 pm

7:12 pm

Great cluing...uusue2 ....thanks

7:22 pm

ov5/16, trif

7:22 pm

starts out like an egg, ends with "I am going to the **st" (what i said at 7:16)

7:23 pm

Sue, just a tough love comment...take it or leave it...if you pay for that cell phone, you decide where it's going to spend the night.

7:23 pm

whew, thanks!

7:23 pm

Sue, read back...so sorry to hear of your sad situation

7:23 pm

Hi Trif.

7:23 pm

I agree, molly, and thanks - it's a good idea. I just don't want to wake him up right now (maybe later)

7:24 pm

thx, trif, it's been a real roller coaster

7:24 pm

hello molly

7:24 pm

Nice icon picture Trif.

7:24 pm

thanks molly!

7:25 pm

ARRGH - as per usual, the minute I sit down to babble, everyone suddenly needs "MOOOOOOM" -----brb

7:25 pm

lol, trif!!

7:26 pm

That used to be me and the phone. It was like a trigger for whining and horrible behavior.

7:29 pm

May I polease have a clue for at6-21? Thanks

7:30 pm

was just working on that one, peach...

7:30 pm

It's got me stumped, uusue2.

7:30 pm

a + ring! I have a ***ephone call + first part of frozen water

7:31 pm

thx, molly!

7:31 pm

Thanks so much, MollyL.

7:31 pm

As usual, not a word we use in everyday conversation.

7:34 pm

apparently it is the opposite of te5/12 (also not in everyday usage, at least at my house)

7:38 pm

fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:39 pm

Congrats, uusue2!!!!!!

7:40 pm

thx, peach! :-)

7:42 pm

Yay for Sue!!

8:12 pm

Yay uusue!!

8:17 pm

and DONE!

8:18 pm

yay, jilly!!!!!!!!

8:20 pm

When I first saw grid I was wondering how in the world there could be that many V words....but actually surprisingly easy..

8:22 pm

indeed, they weren't all that bad.

8:24 pm

I thought the ae/ea thing in this grid got very tiresome.

8:25 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

8:25 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

8:25 pm

Hey Min

8:25 pm

Hiya Minv...

8:26 pm

LOL...that it did Molly

8:28 pm

hi, min!

8:28 pm

and molly, it didn't seem to me that there was significantly more of the ae/ea thing than usual in this grid but maybe I am just getting used to babble words :-)

8:29 pm

*Checks Sue for fever* I don't think I will ever get used to all the nonsense words. That's what drags me down trying to get through these grids.

8:31 pm

Fireworks...so excited, I am new at this game and this is my first time :)

8:33 pm

WooT WooT WooT shelley....good for you!!

8:33 pm

Congratulations Shelley33 on fireworks! Good for you

8:34 pm

And welcome to our addiction!

8:34 pm

Hi uusue2! How are you? Congrats on your fireworks!

8:35 pm

*Passes around champagne for Shelley's first time*

8:35 pm

*pop*

8:36 pm

*Smacks hands to keep from making lewd first time jokes*

8:36 pm

You always remember your first? lol...

8:37 pm

Yes, but there were no fireworks. Not the first time anyway. : P

8:37 pm

8:56 pm

Thanks uusue2!Was feeling lonely celebrating FWs by myself.I have a feeling not many need clues right now

8:57 pm

I only have 15 words... not looking for clues yet

8:58 pm

8:58 pm

was kind of quiet yesterday

9:01 pm

Hello DR1965

9:01 pm

Hello DR1965!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:01 pm

Hi Min

9:01 pm

WooT WooT WooT Minv!!...sorry was off on facebook

9:02 pm

Well, must head off to water flowers...ttfn!!

9:03 pm

bye, jilly!

9:03 pm

Goodbye Jillyjill! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log.

9:11 pm

Hi Herin

Howdy

How you?

9:15 pm

I am ok- headachy today - rought day at work. How are you ?

Have you seen the Barking Cat video?

9:16 pm

Yes, I loved it

Damn funny

9:17 pm

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

Night darling Min

9:17 pm

Gnight Min

A lot of people are calling Fake on the video. My cat makes the same noise when hacking a hairball or the other one when she is pissy about animals in the yard

9:19 pm

I dont think it was fake

I don't either since my cat does that

9:23 pm

I do not like this grid very much

I have 32 left a lot of bablets. I was playing this last night on the iphone as I couldn't sleep. OR I was just about to go to sleep and the cat or himself had a whinge

9:25 pm

I have 11 to go but need to go to the store for a card for Jakes teacher- school ends tomorrow

How is Jake? Can't you make one?

9:29 pm

Jake is good! He is going to be in another play and ended the 6th grade with a 3.8 GPA . - I could make one but we need milk for breakfast also

WOW

O the milk thing.

My cats are playing> Pandora is playing My table f off

9:31 pm

:) His grades this year were mostly B's and he wanted to make honor roll so he wokred really hard

OK I have found 93 words out of my brain.

Aww DR I have an idea

Did he make the honor roll?

9:31 pm

Yes he did

YAH

9:32 pm

3.6 and above is honor roll

I was going to say if he didn't you could have an award made for him

9:32 pm

Last year he was 4.0 for most of hte year but this year there were some teacher personalty issues

9:32 pm

That IS a good idea

Happens. As long as he doesn't take it personally. IN life there is always a superior that sucks ass.

9:33 pm

He has learned

9:33 pm

This is a teacher who told me she did not understand why Jake always had a book with him

You kidding me right?

DR: http://tinyurl.com/3m4a2k4 something like this maybe

9:35 pm

Nope! She has never read Harry POtter or any of the young teen books and she teachers young teens

9:35 pm

She is into math and Science- not reading

That makes no sense. I would be beating kids with books to get them to read.

Has he read the Deltora series?

9:36 pm

good heavens. Just wanted to point out that math and science are in no way incompatible with reading. ?!?!?!?

9:37 pm

No- He hasn't - who wrote it?

9:37 pm

THanks UUSUE- That was my point as well

9:38 pm

That is a cool idea Herin ( on the link)

EMily Rodda

9:38 pm

ok Thansk Herin- I am writing that down

Hi Sue. I will also ask a friend on FB what else boys like to read.

9:40 pm

ok thanks Herin- He is into Greek mythology, vampires and mysteries... He has read all kinds of things. Last time we were at the library, the librarian asked him what HE recommended for a 13 yr old- I was pretty cool

9:40 pm

ok we are off to buy milk

9:40 pm

bbs for my last 7 words

9:41 pm

hello all. adding my two cents: a teacher in ANY discipline who is not in touch with the literature that appeals to her students isn't doing the job properly. There are a multitude of opportunities to engage with young minds through literature -- in EVERY discipline.

9:41 pm

bye DR... *sigh*

DR you are my friend on FB?

HI Stid

9:41 pm

thanks for the chat Herin

9:41 pm

well said, stid!!

9:41 pm

I think so Herin- Hi Stid

Send me a message

9:42 pm

ok I will

I was reading Robin Cook books at 8

9:42 pm

If you're there http://www.guysread.com/ a good site for boys who like to read

11:29 pm

good for you stid

11:30 pm

11:30 pm

May I please have a clue for et5-14? Thanks

11:30 pm

I would in a heartbeat DR, IF San Diego weren't in California and thus hot and overcrowded...

thansk for the warning Stid. I just hope he can do it

11:30 pm

et5/14 is what politicians tend to not have

11:31 pm

happy thoughts for Jake, DR...

11:31 pm

thanks pini -- I hated that whole soul-sucking final year. Glad it's over. The only good times were the ones I was with the kids.

11:31 pm

hey peach!

11:31 pm

good point Stid

11:31 pm

ty Pini - He got an actual role in hte musical Seussical with solos and stuff.

11:31 pm

the moodiness and anxiety will come and go (as all adolescent moods) but for us they are on days like today (auditions) and during tech week with a peak on opening night and closing night.

11:32 pm

Thanks much uusue and DR1965.

11:32 pm

We just came back from Target where they had Dr Seuss stickers in the $1.00 bin so we bought them for the production staff

11:32 pm

Hi there, stidmama. Hope you are well.

11:32 pm

auditions for what today?

11:33 pm

Anything Goes, he doesn't feel good about his audition, but has a good chance at a prime part because it's his last summer with this company and because there are only 6 strong male actors auditioning for more than 7 strong male roles.

11:34 pm

Actually, I suspect he is just being his usual hyper-self-critical self.

11:35 pm

Fireworks. Thanks for all the help.....see y'all at the flip.

11:35 pm

gah. it's 9:35... I should take another puff on that inhaler thingy (still getting used to it) and head for bed

11:35 pm

wtg peach

11:35 pm

11:35 pm

11:35 pm

YAY peach!

11:35 pm

11:36 pm
