1:08 am

working on it melon

Want a cryptic clue? Those are fun.

1:08 am

yes, thanks melon and Dee

1:08 am

that's a strange one -- ty dee

yw... missing one s hmmmm

A lad in over his head searching for a Judeo/Spanish dialect.

1:09 am

oops -- thought I had nbt but I don't -- need the upper left N -- nu4/5 I guess

the cryptic part is that the clue is hidden in the answer, either spread amongst several words or as an anagram, for example. I love cryptic crosswords.

1:09 am

nu4/5

1:10 am

yes, I know, flosey but I can't find it

n + what you do to make hair look like Shirley Temple minus the fist consonant

I knew nu4/5 as a kn word (not in this grid however)

1:10 am

melon, I love those cryptic variations

1:10 am

yes, that makes more sense to me melon

thanks jilli; I love wordplay.

1:11 am

ad + a part of speech... not a verb, or adverb... but a person, place, or thing

I'm stumped on that too, but I'm not going to look at chat - want to figure it out.

1:13 am

I used to do thhose Daily Telegraph cryptics etc. Even made up some just for fun and have a little looseleaf booklet where I listed clues I made up, anagrams, palindromes, etc.

1:14 am

Gnight dee and thanks for all the help

1:16 am

1:18 am

have been cleaning up, cleaning OUT, getting ready for family coming - good excuse to get rid of STUFF

1:18 am

I should be doing that too but keep putting it off

1:19 am

we have done that, jilli - stuff from his Mom's and also sister's - not stuff that I can toss

1:19 am

It's the thought of lugging all the STUFF to recycle etc that I find daunting. I have a ton of papers to get rid of -- very heavy lugging.

1:20 am

yes, carloads!

1:21 am

And the thought of a garage sale is a mega turnoff.

1:21 am

he helped here tonight - think it's a welcome break from the household stuff

1:21 am

I could not deal with a garage sale

1:22 am

Shudder!

OK I have at least on of each two-letter beginning. 2 6s to go, 25 to go in all

1:23 am

wtg melon!

1:26 am

good morning all

1:29 am

congratulurkings, ruru

1:29 am

hi sprite!

jilli is a regular jilli-pedia!

1:29 am

lol yes she is!

1:29 am

glad to hear that, flosey -- why suffer!

sorry to hear you're dealing w/pain flosey! chronic or acute?

1:30 am

rah rah for ruru!

1:30 am

don't know the details, flosey, but from own experience I know that finally giving in to taking pain meds can be a very wise decision. It will save you loads of energy, for one thing.

all 6s except the blasted ad6/24. I'm not asking for clues, can't believe i haven't found it via math.

I deal with chronic pain, and suffer far more fatigue if I am under-medicated than I do sedation when I'm adequately medicated.

1:31 am

LOVE your icon, sprite!

1:31 am

same here, melon

1:31 am

and the verse, of course.

1:32 am

thanks jilli :)

1:32 am

yes, really so silly. Chronic

1:32 am

<-- proud to say I got that ad6 quite easily

1:33 am

jilli is smug!

1:33 am

<-- pats self on back

as well she should be. so jilli, just tell me, should I know this word?

I did get ad 6/21 handily.

1:34 am

me too melon, but had to ask for a clue for the other

1:34 am

I think so, melon, but IMHO it shouldn't be allowed

hmmm

1:35 am

Oh sorry -- I was referring to ad6/21 and you want 6/24, whcih was odd to me.

1:35 am

I think it is perfectly normal?

I wondered. ad6/21 can be a generic reference to that type.

1:35 am

dee gave a clue for it or I wouldn't have found it

just tell me, are the 1st three the same as ad 6/21?

1:36 am

no

1:36 am

no, melon

1:36 am

I actually found the 24 before the 21, lol

OK, somewhere to start...

aha!

1:38 am

ok, Ks Konkerred.

1:38 am

yayyy melon

OK, I have all 6s. 14 left but I've been up too late as it is.

kool, sprite!

1:38 am

marvy, melon :-)

jolly, jilli!

1:40 am

I am gonna read over the last few posts and leave out the commas.

1:40 am

:-D

1:40 am

ok, off to bed for me, tomorrow another day of clean out and toss! Also, jilli, going to your hairdresser, can't wait for Syl to get back from holiday

1:45 am

1:45 am

Ko on, melon, keep koing, katch those kritters!

1:45 am

jilli, in dutch, 'lol' is already a word, and it means 'fun'.

1:45 am

kroan

1:46 am

I mean, it has been a word for centuries.

1:46 am

how very appropriate, sprite!

well, loll is certainly a word, and a wonderful one at that. We all need loll tme.

1:46 am

yes... I guess that is why I use it often. It means 'fun' to me, and not so much laughing out loud.

1:47 am

I love to LOL though! I agree, melon, it is healthy.

6, 5 Ss and a T

1:47 am

if brrr and psst are valid, why not tssk?

1:48 am

Granddaughter Lois is also know entre nous as Loll

1:48 am

*known

1:48 am

aw that is sweet. Is she such a laugher?

whay not neato and pitter!

1:49 am

She is, actually. But it came from her older brother calling her Lolly when she was a baby instead of Lois.

1:49 am

yeah, that too

1:49 am

aw that is even sweeter.

1:51 am

Well, she's all grown up now -- 26 on June 2. Full-fledged teacher with a live-in bf in their rented house.

but who is counting...

I'm stuck between the Marquis and the beach!

1:52 am

gogogo sprite!

1:52 am

and still Loll, jilli ;)

1:52 am

Sometimes Lo now.

1:52 am

roflol, no I am not even close to finishing, jilli. Halfway. And absolutely sure there cannot be biggies in this grid.

1:53 am

but not Low.

1:53 am

well, Lo is ok too. As long as she isn't Low.

And I got there staying sa4, homophonically at least! fireworkies!

1:53 am

wtg melon!

clues anyone. I'm here 5 more min.

1:53 am

YAY melonious one!

1:54 am

no clues for me, thanks. I have to make this one last.

1:54 am

how about a clue for an6/24 please?

sprite I love that picture - so silly!

1:54 am

thanks melon!

1:54 am

shut your eyes, sprite?

1:54 am

already have it, jilli, np :)

think not a cathode, but the other, as an adjective.

1:55 am

ty melon

1:56 am

die shoene blaue isn't valid either

or: See, I donate a backward clue, soundly

1:57 am

beautiful, melon!

wish I had come up with that 1st, so elegant!

1:58 am

wow, melon!

OK, 90 more seconds

That's not a clue, just heading to bed. Any more? I do have fun coming up with them!

1:58 am

Sprite, do you have as5/10? If so, I'm blind to it and could use help

1:59 am

I don't, but I won't be angry if melon clues it for you :)

If you trip up the stairs, everyone will be as5/10.

1:59 am

Don't want to spoil your fun, sprite

2:00 am

one or two clues will never do that, jilli. Just whole lists of them!

Better: If you trip up the stair, everyone will be as5/10.

2:02 am

ok, sprite :-)

2:02 am

That clue will keep me thinking for a while anyway!

As tured as i am, I am glad to help! (that was a clue, too!)

As tired as i am, I am glad to help! (that was a clue, too!)

As tired as I am, I can offer this clue, too!

As tired as I am, I can offer this clue, too!

As tired as i am, I am glad to help! (that was a clue, too!)

2:02 am

I must get dressed, brushed and off to therapy, alas. Bye dears, I had fun :) Thanks for that, and have a lovely night.

2:02 am

Bye sprite -- have a good session.

sorry, Babble was balky.

bye,sprtie!

Sprite!

hi ruby....grey and rainy here in uk, how's it with you?

2:53 am

very windy, distant thunder, rain off and on, but not cold

2:54 am

the thunder is making my dogs crazy

2:55 am

did you have a drought before?

2:55 am

mmm.....my dog used to shake and shake and just couldn't be comforted

2:56 am

that's how my Ruby is

2:56 am

I guess they hear more thunder than we do

2:57 am

oh dear:( it's really awful to see them like that. what sort of dof is she?

2:57 am

dog

2:57 am

we have two chow chows. The black one (pictured) is Max

2:58 am

Ruby is shaded blonde, very beautiful

2:58 am

do you currently have a dog?

2:58 am

aah, it's pouring again!

2:59 am

uh oh, doorbell

2:59 am

ee you later

3:00 am

max is very handsome and ruby sounds lovely. no, we lost our labrador last year. we were lucky to have him for 15 years and there's a big hole in our family where he should be

3:01 am

that was just a "dog bell", false alarm

3:01 am

15 years is excellent for such a big dog. I can imagine the horrible hole in the family! Now, we always have two

3:06 am

oops my doorbell now...good luck with the babbling:)

3:06 am

bye

3:08 am

morning, all! can't sleep...

3:09 am

{{sue}} what is the news?

3:10 am

hi, ruby!

3:10 am

don't know if you saw all the drama from yesterday...

3:10 am

yes, I was here

3:10 am

and was thinking about it all evening

3:11 am

ah. well, the kid is out on bail, we see a lawyer tomorrow, he is physically ok but psychologically a mess as are we all.

3:12 am

I hope the girl is still locked up

3:12 am

nope, she's out too

hi all :))

3:12 am

are you able to keep them apart, not even phone calls?

another screwed up grid yesterday... only put in one words!! LOL!!

3:12 am

and she wasn't charged with assault, just with alcohol possession

3:13 am

{{mrp}}

3:13 am

ruby, I am doing my best - he is under a court order to have no contact with her

3:13 am

that is crazy, sue!

3:13 am

hi, mrp, welcome to my mess :-(

3:13 am

what does your lawyer say or is he waiting to meet with both of you?

3:14 am

but she is texting him nonstop - his phone is here, charging, and another text just came in

what the heck usue???

what is happening??

3:14 am

we haven't seen him yet at all

3:14 am

can you take away the phone?

3:14 am

unplug the charger?

3:15 am

DH will be back in a minute, but I'll be back after I unpack the groceries

3:15 am

mrp, my son was assaulted by his girlfriend last night - she tried to strangle him (to the point where he was losing consciousness) - he screamed for help and the police came and arrested him for domestic battery

3:15 am

I may do, ruby

you are KIDDING!!!

3:16 am

I think he has lost his right to a phone and access to a car, at least for now, until he gets some treatment and the girl is out of the picture

far out!!! that is appalling!! I can't believe that little b*&*^! touched him!!

3:16 am

she claimed that he had pulled her out of the car by her hair (which he did not) so even though he is the one with all the bruises and cuts he's also the one with the charges pending against him

3:16 am

it seems like this is the time to get really tough with him

3:16 am

she also trashed the inside of the car (MY car)

3:17 am

you are right, ruby, although he is so fragile emotionally I don't want to push him too hard

the evidence will speak for itself usue... make sure you have pictures of everything done

3:17 am

DH has arrived

including his injuries

3:17 am

yes, mrp, and I took him to the doctor so there is a medical report on him as well, and the police took pictures too

where they drinking when they got into this 'argument'??

uusue I am sorry to hear about your trouble. It makes you wonder what the world is coming to.

3:19 am

they sure were, mrp

3:19 am

thx, jenny, it is a mess

My grandson aged 11 was kicked in the head - deliberately - by a 10 yr old hard enough to give him severe concusion. Now a lot of the kids in the village wont play with my grandson because the police asked them for a statement about what happened!

3:20 am

oh, jenny, that is awful!!!

jenny... so friggin typical of ignorant parents

i am sorry for you and your grandson

usue, time to intervene!!

No phone, no car, no nothing until he can own up to his behaviour in the whole incident... driving whilst drunk?? no way

3:22 am

I agree, mrp!

the little biyatch needs to go to court

violence like that is totally unacceptable and has to be cropped immediately

3:23 am

well, she will, on the alcohol charge

It was such a shame as this time Adam was completely innocent - he some behavioural problems and so is often in trouble, but this time the attack was quite unprovoked

3:23 am

and when we talk to the lawyer we will see about doing something about the property damage

did they arrest her for disarray or assult or alcohol consumption???

3:24 am

oh, jenny, that is really sad :-(

3:24 am

alcohol consumption as a minor

get damages for sure

3:24 am

and mrp, I haven't seen you since your own court date - what is up?

After the boy had the caution, he was found crying in the street because he didn't know where his mother was!! down the pub at 7.00pm. No wonder he is like he is.

take pictures of all the damage, and get the money

my court date was a shite!!

3:26 am

oh, mrp, how so??

what type of lawyer says to the psycho, pyromaniac, stalker Prick... 'let's go for the jugular!'

I updated the profile sue... the info from yesterday's case is in there now

that is sad sad stuff jenny

goof find on the 8 and 9!

3:46 am

ok, got it, mrp - sorry for absence, kid came weeping out of his room - he is ok now

3:47 am

but this is SO hard on him...

poor child!

3:49 am

we are on babble time so it is really 3 am here...

keep him safe usue... just needs luv and support

3:49 am

he has class in the morning, missed a quiz yesterday and will have to explain to his professor that he was in jail...

3am is too late to go to sleep... you could get a snooze in and then have a siesta in the arvo??

3:51 am

probably - I don't have anything on my calendar for the day anyway (although I do have to read a masters thesis for a defense on Thursday)

3:53 am

hi, I am back, sorry to hear the news of you both. *hugs* and good wishes.

3:53 am

hi, sprite!

3:53 am

hi, sprite!

3:53 am

ok, I don't know why that happened twice...

3:53 am

hi uusue :) Hi mrP :)

3:54 am

stutter on the enter key

3:54 am

twitchy fingers :-)

3:54 am

hehehe

4:01 am

chat lost or just quiet? I got a red box here...

4:02 am

quiet, I think

hi sprite :)

quiet for sure

have to go to a meeting... leaving in 10 minutes, and just had cough mixture with valium.... let's see what happens!!

4:03 am

hey mrP, glad you didn't go for the mediating. Protect yourself. I hope things work out.

4:04 am

well, you should be nice and calm, mrp :-)

thanks sprite, I just thought it would be a total waste of time... he was furious I turned up and said no to mediation. And even more furious that the whole court (open court... lot's of local people there) heard my side of the story about him

4:05 am

Your anxiety will eat up most of the sedating effect, don't worry

oh good!

4:05 am

very good. The jerk needs to be pegged down seriously.

5:04 am

Hi Ruby

hello all!

6:56 am

hi all

6:56 am

hi anyone

morning jmc, how goes things?

6:56 am

it goes it goes

6:56 am

hows the knee?

my knee is perfect, my hip is healing.

6:57 am

sorry remembered the wrong joint [blush]

And dont feel bad, for some reason even people who are looking directly at my beautiful knees ask me about my knee.

I think it is my age, people my age dont have a lot of hip procedures.

6:58 am

knees are common for runners and young whippersnappers like you

It is doing well though, I got to go swimming yesterday!

6:58 am

red has a high opinion of her knees - lol

6:58 am

i actually have had 3 friends (counting you) with a hip surgery

6:58 am

bbl

I do kje....

6:59 am

: )

and jmc, you are about 20 yrs older than I ...

6:59 am

glad to see you are doing better

errr, perhaps I should not have pointed the age thign out.

I am doing pretty well. straightening my walking out and then there is the LOooong wait to run.

7:00 am

why

it bothers some ppl...

7:00 am

yeah - careful - my hip has been aching a lot with this cold weather. Good to see you all

7:00 am

7:11 am

3.5 weeks

7:12 am

I just read over the chog and the trip sounds wonderful!!!

7:12 am

any hints for the two long words?

I have always wanted to go to Murano....to see the glass blowing.

7:13 am

what one would call the northern troops?

7:13 am

or those who supported the norther troops (civil war)

7:13 am

the 8 build off the un5 and the 9 is the plural

7:13 am

when I was in the glass biz, I had the pleasure of being taken on a tour of the glass bead factory in Mrano. Incredible!

7:13 am

I went, red... almost bought a gorgeous modern piece but it was a little out of my price range

7:14 am

thank you doseff

7:14 am

thnx dose and good morning all

7:14 am

hello teach!

7:15 am

7:21 am

ruby, what did you do in the glass biz?

7:21 am

NBT. Off to look for kitty and get some work done. See you in a bit. Have a great day everyone!

7:22 am

our company imported glass from all over the world. I was a "sales engineer", whatever that is

7:22 am

bye car - good luck

7:22 am

back

7:22 am

worked with architects and designers to have them specify my glass

Hi JM

7:22 am

do you still do this?

7:22 am

the grey glass at LaGuardia was one of my projects

7:23 am

no, retired after we moved to Fr

7:23 am

it was wonderful work

7:23 am

GMorning everyone / Bonjour!! :0)

7:23 am

Good morning to the new arrivers

7:23 am

Hi Mary

7:24 am

hi lady!

7:24 am

7:24 am

7:24 am

jmc!!

7:24 am

now we're wishing for car.'s cat!

7:24 am

lol ruby

7:25 am

the grey glass came from Asahi in Japan and I got it specified

7:25 am

i hope car finds her cat

7:25 am

here kitty..kitty....

7:25 am

I don't know what specified means ruby?

7:25 am

i was shocked to see yesterday ru said something nice about me behind my back!

7:26 am

I gave architects samples which they then selected by name and as we were the only importer of it, I got the job

This grid sucks

7:26 am

why wouldnt he say something nice?

7:26 am

how could anybody say anything bad about you, jmc?

7:26 am

Hi herin

7:26 am

we all talk about you behind your back- and it is always nice - didn't you know?

Hi Bichon

7:26 am

7:31 am

::pounces on Ata::

7:31 am

I was meant to be out diving today but the weather is horrid

pout Jealous of Ata's job

7:31 am

i am only sorry it isn't a monster grid then

7:31 am

your job sounds like heaven!

7:32 am

easy grid?? NOT

7:32 am

this was a nice grid, just nicely doable. It's fun. Lots of marine bioolgy and diving and running around teaching people about sea squirts and things

7:32 am

but small ruby

7:32 am

I am stuck stuck stuck at 46 left and do not have NBT *sigh* will have to list soon

7:32 am

I have 30 left but haven't a chance....

7:33 am

I don't have anything from the right hand s

7:33 am

7:33 am

baby fish dont hurt

7:34 am

sorry i missed that pic

7:35 am

got the right hand s, but it's not a st

7:35 am

sorry *looks contrite*

7:35 am

wait wait everyone - jmc is going to expand on her story

7:35 am

that might be to do with the position of biting!

7:35 am

merci Ruby....

7:35 am

let me see if I can find the pic again

7:35 am

lol maybe they weren't baby fish

7:35 am

st6/30 is a plural - st + irritating

Ok I am watching How clean is your house I don't think I am hungry any more and nothing grosses me out

7:36 am

Hi Sue

7:55 am

hi, herin!

How you?

8:00 am

ok, herin

8:09 am

I keep extracting words out of this grid one by one - just when I think there can't possibly be any more, there's another one!

8:09 am

help with first colum 4 pls

8:09 am

r pls

8:10 am

nm

8:10 am

r - to destroy something

8:10 am

and here I was about to give you a clue :-)

8:10 am

and hi, peri and wv!

8:10 am

cannot believe that there is an 8 and 9 word here

8:11 am

hi sue

8:11 am

hey all!

8:11 am

9 is the pl of the 8

8:11 am

hi stiddy

8:11 am

peri.....9 is just 8 pluralized

8:11 am

it would help if I had the 8:) clue pls

8:11 am

need to be off for the am, BBL

8:12 am

later teach

8:12 am

truckers are members....

8:12 am

soliers in the northern army - many of the un words begin with same letters

8:13 am

8:13 am

ty got them both

8:13 am

thanks for the 8 and 9 and hello everyone

8:14 am

:0)

8:14 am

hi, stid! You're in the grid!

8:14 am

and hi, annie and maryte!

8:14 am

Good morning all

8:14 am

Hi sue.. :)

8:14 am

LOL so I am, sue -- almost makes up for the yucky med side effect of the day. SO glad yesterday was the last dose! LOL

8:15 am

hi uSue

8:15 am

oh, thank goodness, stid!

8:16 am

yep. I think prednisone is not a lot of fun -- going to have to skip my morning playing with 5th graders and go in the afternoon instead.

8:16 am

those corticosteroids can be really dangerous, although if you need them they can be lifesavers too...

8:18 am

I really did need it. Also apparently really need the inhaler *sigh* was hoping I didn't -- but when I skip a dose of that I really notice.

8:18 am

why do you need the inhaler, stid. do you have asthma?

8:19 am

the doc called it "reactive airway" but I think it's actually asthma, since as I look back on my life I see other times this has happened. Just not so spectacularly or inconveniently.

O Stid

8:20 am

yes, O lady? *grin*

8:21 am

indeed, prednisone can be a lifesaver!

8:21 am

39 left and stuck, bl

8:21 am

the blessings: end of the school year, after the teaching certification has been awarded, I have a loving and understanding family, and I have all summer to recover and figure out how to work with this new predicament.

8:21 am

later peri! (((hugs)))

8:22 am

bye, peri!

8:23 am

NBT!

8:23 am

how's your son today sue? I dreamt about you last night.

8:25 am

he's doing ok, stid, but the realities are starting to sink in. he came out of his room weeping at about 3:30 this morning (I was up because I couldn't sleep).

8:25 am

I really need to get him into counseling, and will be doing that today.

8:25 am

I am so sorry.

8:26 am

Yes, counseling -- and remind him that many people are falsely accused, that it is NOT his fault she is abusive ... you know all this ((hug))

8:27 am

I know, and keep telling him, but the reality is that even though the charges are false he may still be convicted, and he is really scared about that.

8:28 am

he may. and if he is, it will be very awful for a while. But you have brought up a strong, intelligent young man (though at the moment he might not feel so) and he WILL get through this and come out the other side with wisdom and grace.

Sue I may have missed things but the truth has a habit of biting people on the arse

8:28 am

aww, stid, you are so sweet :-) and it is all so hard...

8:29 am

he can counter-sue for defamation of character and other things, I suspect -- a lawyer will be best placed to suggest how to proceed.

8:30 am

I'd like to countersue just for damages to my house and car, but she's basically judgement-proof (no assets)

8:30 am

sue, sue anyway!!! it's not the recovery of damages that is important, but the official record that this woman has in fact damaged property of other people in advance of this accusation

8:31 am

at the very least, filing charges and pursuing at this time might give her lawyer (if one exists) pause

8:31 am

Indeed. We see the lawyer tomorrow. And I had called him before all this happened asking about an order of protection from her.

8:31 am

good idea.

8:31 am

I agree with Stid. Ask your lawyer what he thinks about counter suing.

8:32 am

She does not and probably will not have a lawyer (she was also arrested, but for alcohol possession as a minor; her mom bailed her out but she'll be appointed a court attorney)

The best option is to keep a diary. This is evidence in court. Including having receipts too. Like 25 Jan 2011 - 955pm harrasing phone call. Receipt Spent $35 on replacing window broken by X

8:32 am

Sue, has he ever been arrested or convicted of anything before?

8:32 am

I had already started that, herin (and the date stamps on my computer will prove it).

8:33 am

yes, and record (and keep) any and all facebook or other attempts to communicate with your son

8:33 am

my son was arrested when he was 16 because he and some friends were on the roof of the elementary school; he was convicted of trespassing and had to pay $1500. it was supposed to be expunged but we'll have to check with the lawyer about that too.

You can also print out emails too.

Seriously that at 16 would be best saying yes at 15 I was a total dick and be honest

8:34 am

yes, he's keeping the texts and facebook messages

8:34 am

I think, as long as he has no priors with assault he has a good chance of pleading down. Again, your attorney will know.

8:35 am

well, and SHE has a prior assault arrest (by her father no less)

The courts favour honesty

8:36 am

I think once this gets in the hands of an attorney and a judge, it will be made clear who is the problem child in these circumstances. And it's not your son Sue.

8:37 am

and by the way I can vouch for the sturdiness of Toyota interiors - she was kicking the inside of my car as hard as she could and only managed to knock off the cup holders and the CD player cover (and displace the interior door panel). But the dashboard instrumentation is fine, thank goodness.

8:37 am

Well, I hope so, molly, I'd like to see the charges against him completely dropped. He is the victim here, not her.

8:37 am

I wouldn't plead ANYTHING just yet -- see what the lawyer has to say. It is not uncommon in DV cases for the actual perpetrator to accuse the survivor; such things often come out in court and the decision is clearly against the real perpetrator. In other words, stay hopeful.

8:38 am

absolutely, stid; he's not due back in court until the 15th of July so there is plenty of time

8:38 am

I am hopeful that all the will come of this is a lesson the hard way for the boy. I hate seeing him up on charges for something he didn't do.

8:38 am

She sounds like a kid with real psychiatric problems.

8:39 am

she is, sally, and I hope she gets help too. I feel sorry for her (as does my son which is partly why he stayed involved with her so long)

8:39 am

however, if he comes out of this alive, and knows what to avoid in the future, it will be a good thing. So many people think DV is a joke and let it go until it's too late to save anyone. Best case would be that he is exonerated and she gets the psychiatric help needed.

8:40 am

Does her family really not see she needs help?

8:40 am

Indeed, stid. I just hope he doesn't become bitter; mostly what he's guilty of here is being too nice (forgiving her, wanting to help her - he was with her in the first place because she told him she was scared to walk home in the dark alone)

8:41 am

they do, sally, but they've lost control of her. they've had her in counseling but then she quits. and her parents are divorced, neither one has health care coverage, so money is an issue.

8:42 am

Oh dear. Not much hope for her then.

8:42 am

hi all here for a minute

8:42 am

the long-term issues she has may be all the proof you need, sue, that her accusations are false and she is in need of supervision.

8:42 am

hey jmc

8:42 am

anyway, I have to go get dressed and get him to class; he's going to have to show his arrest papers to his professor in order to make up the work he missed yesterday. not a fun prospect for him.

8:42 am

{{uu}}

8:42 am

hi, jmc!

8:43 am

(((sue))) hang in there. I hope that he will be okay. I hope that you will be okay, too.

8:43 am

you are both in my heart.

8:43 am

thx - and now I really must be off -

8:43 am

get a good criminal attorney for him and it will be worth the cost--my son was wrongfully charged once and the attorney got his charge dropped faster than my son could walk to the front of the courtroom

8:44 am

bye uu

By UU hi JM

8:45 am

Good advice JMC. I know someone who was in similar circumstances and found a great attorney who looked at his case and gave him a pretty decent "package cost" for the whole thing. Because he found a good attorney, his case came out favorable to him.

8:46 am

you need someone who is local and known to the prosecutors and the judges

8:46 am

And the cops. Sue said one of the arresting officers was sympathetic to her son. That will help, I think.

8:47 am

that helps too

8:47 am

8:51 am

hey mrp

8:52 am

Mr. P! How go the wars?

hi girls... still in the trenches. very worried about lickety though

Hi Mr Pres

hi infern

8:56 am

what is going on with lickety?

8:59 am

Looking at this grid, it's really hard to believe there's a 8 and a 9. I feel the urge to rearrange the vowels.

9:00 am

The 8 and 9 are not that difficult.

9:01 am

Thank you for reinforcing my feelings of inadequacy, Bea! :-p

9:01 am

=) sorry

9:02 am

the 9 is the plural of the 8....a group of people who belong to a guild

9:03 am

you'll find the correct first letter ... then the 5 letter is almost automatic ... the 8 is off the 5 ... the 9 is plural ... easy ... just find the first letter ...

9:03 am

good morning everyone:)) ((((MRP))))

9:04 am

Ty, dose. I oughta know. I am one!

9:04 am

hey cross!

9:04 am

9:26 am

this is a tricky grid, methinks

It is irritating Clan

opps Glan

9:29 am

if the letters were in different places it would be better :-)

Maybe it needs a Boggle shake up

9:30 am

9:31 am

cink

I fear we may never hear from Haz or Scrabs again. Clooney has broken up with Elisabetta. : D

12:15 pm

hmmm who will get him?

12:16 pm

think they'll share?

12:16 pm

I don't know West, those are two tough women. : D

12:17 pm

I found the geekiest picture of George. Maybe if I post it neither one will want him.

12:17 pm

he was very young though

12:17 pm

Oh, he definitely had some bad phases.

12:18 pm

I'm sitting in our hotel and just noticed I'm about to run out of power...going to plug in bbs

12:20 pm

Wait a minute. George Clooney is available??

12:20 pm

these k's are a bear

12:23 pm

I have 3 of them, mama, but they were all from chog clues and none is a word that I recognize

12:38 pm

12:39 pm

bye, harry!

12:41 pm

Should Frank be worried Sue? About George I mean.

12:41 pm

nope :-) we have a rich fantasy life :-)

12:45 pm

apparently one of the bazillion texts son's gf has sent since yesterday was one asking if she could get the charges dropped (one might hope that she is waking up to the realities of perjury but I suspect she just wants him back) - I told him not to respond, of course, but we will take it up with the lawyer

12:46 pm

if he starts talking to her again after the 72-hour restraining order against him is up I am going to be VERY CROSS

12:47 pm

"indeed,this is the time to make a clean break and move on

12:48 pm

yah, and not the first time either although this is way more drama than previous episodes - but she's always drawn him back in before :-(

12:48 pm

and now it is time!! i know you have been waiting!! here it is!! it,s...crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!

12:48 pm

The act of snapping one’s fingers has a name. It is called a “fillip.”

12:49 pm

i got the other k

12:50 pm

@ crosshair...really? hunh...whoda thunk it?

12:51 pm

i know blueskies..crossy,s tidbits amaze and entertain the masses:)

12:51 pm

clue for the last k, mama?

12:52 pm

kn5 - pronounced same as the brand of seasoned rice

12:52 pm

also rhymes with "shut the front ****!"

12:53 pm

got it - thx!!! (was trying to make something out of Uncle Ben's and getting nowhere...)

12:53 pm

ty mama

12:57 pm

sigh..crossy must head to the shop.tc everyone and happy babbling!...poink!

12:59 pm

bye, crossy!

1:00 pm

<--- Wondering what kind of Uncle Ben words Sue was making that start with K

1:02 pm

Sue I don't think girlfriend can drop charges that the cops pressed.

1:02 pm

1 more!

1:03 pm

wrong flavored rice, molly :-)

1:03 pm

But I would take that as a sign that now that she's the cause of him being arrested, she's terrified of losing him.

1:03 pm

and I don't think she can either but if she goes back and retracts her statement that he pulled her out of the car by her hair, there's no case so they probably wouldn't prosecute

1:04 pm

exactly, molly, and I can just see him getting sucked in again

1:05 pm

Lord, I hope not. If there is the slightest shred of that left in him, he needs to be de-programmed.

1:05 pm

fireworks!!!

1:05 pm

Yay Mama!!!

1:05 pm

I have an appointment with a counselor for him but not until a week from tomorrow (first available)

1:06 pm

and yay, mama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:06 pm

now i am off to take the boys to their first swim lesson - fingers crossed!

1:07 pm

just read through the chog, sue, how are you holding up?

1:07 pm

hello hello molly

1:08 pm

Hey Ruby

1:08 pm

Good luck with the swim lessons Mama

1:08 pm

I'm down to 25 left with slim to no chance of finding them

1:16 pm

22 left and good night

1:24 pm

hi, ruby, I am ok (if you are still here - sorry, was doing some actual work)

1:29 pm

I think we are all hit or miss today. It's my day to purge the office of old files and junk, so I have been hauling trash bags and recycling bags most of the day.

1:37 pm

ah. and I am reading a masters thesis and getting ready for a talk I am giving next week, and dealing with my son.

1:38 pm

We need t-shirts that say BUSY WOMEN WHO BABBLE ON THE SIDE. It would make people wonder. : D

1:46 pm

I love it, molly!!!!

2:05 pm

afternoon everyone!

2:08 pm

I'm paying a flying visit between sessions at a conference. No way I can make more than a dent, even in a petite sized grid like this.

2:08 pm

And I'm on in twenty minutes :-)

2:08 pm

evening all - love he T-sirt idea Molly

2:09 pm

or just BWWB

2:10 pm

now that's better Jin - that would make folks look

2:12 pm

good luck with your presentation, jan!

2:12 pm

and hi to kazz and jin!

2:13 pm

ned a clue for AD 6/24

2:13 pm

please

2:13 pm

Thanks, sue. It shouldn't be too grueling--I only have 12 minutes! (In fact, getting what ought to be thirty minutes down to twelve is the challenge)

2:14 pm

that is tough, jan (and listening to a series of 12-minute talks is tough too...)

2:14 pm

Next month I get to do a plenary and luxuriate in forty five minutes for a presentation!

2:14 pm

jin, I have an ad6/21 and an an6/24 but that's it

2:14 pm

nice, jan!! congratulations on the plenary!!!

2:15 pm

Listening to a set of twelve minute talks is like reading the Cliff notes to a novel--it's just a taste, really.

2:15 pm

ill take a clue for an 6/24 becuasue i need that too

2:16 pm

ad 6/24 grammar term - ad plus Karen is a proper ****

2:16 pm

wow, kazz, that's a new one to me!

2:16 pm

was on me till i monkeyed it

2:16 pm

oh - thank you Kazz

2:17 pm

jin, an6/24 is like an electrical terminal but turned into an adjective

2:17 pm

an + **e on a grecian urn + most of frozen water

2:19 pm

Thanks for clues, Kazzer and Sue. And it's off the to the breakout room...maybe back later.

2:19 pm

bye, jan!

2:20 pm

Thank you Jan and uusue.

2:22 pm

good luck Jan

2:24 pm

hi all I am back for a while. My husband left to go to a wedding out of town - he'll be back late and my son, who was misbehaving all day finally went to bed!

2:25 pm

hi, mich! Don't get me started on the subject of misbehaving sons (but I'm glad yours is in bed!)

2:26 pm

*settles down for a looooong conversation about misbehaving sons*

2:26 pm

Yeh, where he belongs. I popped in yesterday for a short while and I understand yours put you through something!! How are you doing.

2:26 pm

I am ok, mich, and he is doing ok as well. thx!

2:26 pm

and jmc, I will try not to be boring :-)

2:26 pm

And is the GF out of the scene for a while

2:27 pm

nope, she's been texting him almost constantly (and he is not replying due to the restraining order against him)

2:28 pm

OY! What a situation!

2:28 pm

That is going to unnerve her big time Sue. There is nothing worse, for one who craves attention, to get nothing in return.

2:29 pm

Yes, we are going to have to be very careful, especially when the order expires

2:29 pm

How long is it for?

2:30 pm

72 hours, about 48 of which are left now

2:30 pm

Just long enough to really get her bugged.

2:31 pm

indeed.

2:32 pm

who got the restraining order out on him? her parents or herself?

2:32 pm

and in case this is too boring, I offer you the title of the MS thesis I am reading (being defended tomorrow; I am on the committee): Physics Validation Studies for Muon Collider Detector Background Simulations

2:32 pm

How weird I was just going to say that! ;-))

2:33 pm

the police, kazz, they charged him with domestic battery after she tried to strangle him

2:33 pm

err shouldnt that be the toehr way round

2:34 pm

Natch - Dontcha know it's always the guy's fault. After years of women screaming that they are victims of abuse and not its cause the pendulum has swung too far the other way!!

2:34 pm

it should, kazz, but she lied to the police when they came - he has all the injuries but no matter

2:35 pm

well i would get one out against her

2:35 pm

we can'

2:35 pm

sorry

2:35 pm

we can't until this one expires, the law doesn't allow mutual orders of protection

2:35 pm

its a bit betterhere trouble is men dont like to admit it when they are the victims though

2:36 pm

Be at the station at the end of 72 hours with all the text msgs. Harrasment, stalking, etc etc

2:36 pm

we'll be at lawyer tomorrow (before order expires) with all of it and will go from there

2:36 pm

including the messages she's sent him today offering to change her story (!)

2:37 pm

Good luck, I am praying for you. Keep every text msg!!

2:37 pm

bye the bye the like your thesis you are defeding - it sounds really interesting

2:38 pm

Sounds intersting? I didn't even understand the title!

2:38 pm

I'm not defending it, kazz, I'm on the student's committee so I have to read and critique it

2:39 pm

ooh that's even better - like a bit of quantum every now and again

2:40 pm

you dont need it much in meteorolgy but i have done a single unit on it in my ou degree

2:40 pm

even though I was added to the committee at the last minute (didn't work with the student) it turns out I know quite a bit about the subject (simulation of background radiation at high-energy physics experiments) having spent most of the 1990s doing exactly that

2:41 pm

ou degree?

2:41 pm

Open University

2:41 pm

ah. nice. I get some meteorology majors in my calculus-based physics course.

2:42 pm

Now that you explain it a bit, it does sound interesting. I am sorry I didn't study some physics. I got all A's in calculus but did poorly in Chemistry so the school didn't allow me to take physics.

2:42 pm

many many many moons a go

2:44 pm

ah - it's required for our meteorology majors

2:44 pm

well - i did want to go to uni when i left school but mum and dad couldnt afford it so i went to work and then started a dgrees when i was quite old - i am still doing it

2:44 pm

oh, nice, kazz! I always like to see older students - they tend to be much more focused :-)

2:46 pm

well - i try to be but it will be better from september with the partial retirement - i wil have a day a week to do my stuff

2:46 pm

Can I ask how old you are? I also went to Uni. late-ish but stopped in the middle. Sidetracked by life, marriage, 7 kids, etc. Going back in Sept to finish.

2:46 pm

partial retirement *swoons in envy*

2:48 pm

i am 53 and quite proud of it - i have done most things in life at odd times - had my son when i was 20, got married when i was 41

2:48 pm

Partial retirement sounds good but i will still be going to work 4 days a week but only working 7 hours a day

2:49 pm

Good for you! I will be 51 in August, not so far from you.

2:49 pm

Hi All

2:52 pm

My mind doesn't function after ten. lol

4:38 pm

4:39 pm

*looks for hammer to smash computer that keeps wanting to reboot*

4:44 pm

hi again, all!

4:44 pm

hi uu

4:45 pm

remind me how to turn off automatic updates please

4:45 pm

Hi Sue, things better today?

4:45 pm

must go for a while, see you all later!

4:47 pm

getting there, bichon

4:48 pm

gf has been texting my son nonstop, so I signed up for parental controls on his phone and blocked her number - now they can't text or call each other. Yay!!

4:48 pm

bye lbd

4:48 pm

yay!

4:48 pm

but as soon as she figured that out she started texting him from her facebook account, which I can't block as it's not a phone number. I told him to block her on facebook. Sigh.

4:48 pm

wd uu

4:49 pm

Good for you Sue! JMC...to turn off auto updates... http://tinyurl.com/pus5c

4:49 pm

bummer no parental control on the computer?

4:50 pm

ty molly since i had to start all over again because the silly virus ate my computer . . . . .

4:51 pm

Sue, don't you share a computer with your son? You can block his access to Facebook.

4:52 pm

And if this girl won't stop, I would strongly suggest that you close out his cell phone and get another with a number she does not know.

4:53 pm

ty molly

4:55 pm

*puts hammer away*

4:55 pm

no, molly, he has his own computer

4:58 pm

and bummer on the computer virus, jmc!!

4:59 pm

Well, if he has unrestricted access to a computer and a cell phone, she will find a way to get in touch with him. He either ignores her or he doesn't.

5:00 pm

right, and he's ignoring her now but she is making it as difficult as possible

5:00 pm

we are going to talk to the lawyer tomorrow about what we can do about the harassment

5:01 pm

Does your son think it's harassment? Where is his head?

5:01 pm

That's the best thing to do Sue.

5:02 pm

he is extremely annoyed and upset with her right now and just wants her to stop

5:02 pm

But she won't stop. Her behavior has proven that.

5:02 pm

He has it in his power to do that

5:03 pm

All he has to do is ignore her

5:03 pm

I know that, and him telling her to stop will just egg her on. What we need is a court order.

5:04 pm

How about a wall of silence

5:04 pm

Well, before that happens, he needs to block her on Facebook and block her number from his cell phone.

5:04 pm

he's been ignoring her all day and it's just getting worse - I suppose she will eventually quit but it will take a LONG time

5:05 pm

Can't her parents control her.

5:05 pm

well, I've taken care of the phone and he has, I hope, taken care of Facebook. but things are so connected now it's hard to plug all the holes

5:05 pm

they cannot, bichon

5:05 pm

I can send text messages to his phone from my Yahoo email account, for example, and I don't know how to block that

5:05 pm

If it were my child, I'd put her in rehab

5:06 pm

she belongs there, bichon, but her parents are divorced and neither has insurance so cost is an issue

5:06 pm

Sue, maybe call his cell phone provider, explain the circumstances and see if they can help you block her access to him.

5:06 pm

they have enough money for a cell phone and a computer

5:09 pm

I did that, molly, and have blocked her from texting or calling from her phone but if she texts his phone from facebook or an email account there just isn't a way to block it

5:13 pm

I can turn off all texting to his phone (although I cannot block picture or video messages) but that seems too much (although I will talk to him about it if she continues to find ways around the blocks)

5:17 pm

anyway I am going home, bbl!

5:17 pm

i am so sorry you are going through this. i know it was hard when one of my son's gf ex-bf went ballistic on my son

5:17 pm

bye uu

5:18 pm

bye, jmc!

5:19 pm

5:21 pm

One of my favorite lines from Brothers & Sisters is when Sarah says to her gay brother Kevin (when they are trying to figure out what to sing at Karaoke) "How about "9 To 5"? You always said Dolly Parton had the only pair of breasts you ever liked."

hello everyone

8:01 pm

Here is a clue story for you to si4/8 your teeth into. Before I got a house,I lived in a basement apartment behind Shop Ri 4/4 that was da4/9, dark and di4/5y. Apartment had been ru 4/5ed by the previous renter so I had to do a lot of work on it.For example,we had to get new si 5/18 in the bathroom and kitchen. The landlord,who lived upstairs,was very la4/8 and sickly looking. He kind of looked like Jim Varney sa 4/4 the mustache. Landlord cheated on his wife with a la 4/4 he'd bring home whenever she was on a business trip Landlord would walk so hard, that he would make the ceiling di4/5. He didn't care one di 4/5 about me and my hubby downstairs. Landlord had a child who would twirl her hu 4/6 hoop for hours & every time it fell to the floor,she'd jump up & yell because it had fallen to the floor. She also got very sick a lot. We could hear her every time she hu4/6ed. Several times we had to goto the landlord to compla 4/4 about something. He would di4/5 me everytime I went to him. One time he said, "It ir 4/8 me every time you come to me with a problem.It seems like you are always trying to st 4/4 up trouble!" Then my landlord boa4/4ed he never had problems w/any of his previous renters. His do 4/6 & tr 5/10 attitude made me and husband regret having taken apartment. Personally,I think he was a sa6/21 just by the way he acted & his temper. At la 4/4, my husband and I bought a large piece of la 4/5 and built a house. Babbling never la5/10 forever with husband around so I must go. Now I am going to go watch the movie The Incredible Hu 4/10. I might be back later.

8:40 pm

and, pini???

8:40 pm

waiting with baited breath for pini's news

8:40 pm

...it's going to be at least $4-5K...

8:40 pm

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

8:40 pm

*holding breath*

8:41 pm

...and the kitchen floor will definitely have to be replaced...

8:41 pm

ouch...

8:41 pm

firewords! ad6 good-looking man was my last - thanks lbd and all cluers

8:41 pm

oh no

8:41 pm

Ouch indeed, remind me for what?

8:41 pm

...once they pull the dining room carpet back, they'll be able to tell if that'll need to be replaced, too...

8:41 pm

ugh pinik

8:41 pm

whooooo hooooo DAN!!N

8:41 pm

owie, Pini

8:41 pm

YAY dan!

8:41 pm

yahooooo dan

8:41 pm

oh -- dan means HE was the last word he found... *wicked mama look*

8:41 pm

...if so, the livingroom and hallway will also be replaced (because it's considered "continued" carpet)

8:42 pm

wtg dan! :)

8:42 pm

WooT WooT WooT Dan2!!

8:42 pm

Thankfully, all I have to *cough* up is the $500 deductible :)

8:42 pm

no5 pls

8:42 pm

*blush*

8:42 pm

...oh, and the crew will come and do all the moving and packing, etc.!!!

8:42 pm

pini -- with a dog you might consider switching (if it's needed anyway) to a laminate hardwood. Easier to clean and area rugs are cheaper to replace if soiled.

8:42 pm

ends like ni5 suefrad

8:43 pm

dan, maggie is looking prettier every day, methinks. She is such a pretty toddler.

8:43 pm

I've thought about that for the past couple of years, but the 'allowance' will determine that part ;)

8:43 pm

ty

8:43 pm

thanks stid, i think so too ;-)

8:43 pm

n's nicked

8:43 pm

If you like, we can come help you lay it down -- we did our own and it's not hard, just time-consuming.

8:43 pm

go sue!

8:44 pm

o & r - rubbed out!!

8:44 pm

i love my laminate floor in my office.

8:44 pm

that'd be cool, stid...this is *almost* a blessing in disguise... ...can't get the kids to come get ther stuff and help me

8:45 pm

wow sue!

8:45 pm

hm. kids. *bummed-out mama look*

8:45 pm

...can't get the kids to come get their stuff and help me, but the team that arrives first thing in the morning is covered by the claim ;)

8:45 pm

tell the kids, that you're putting everything at the curb. if they want it they better come get it.

8:45 pm

actually, my elder seems to be thriving under helping the teachers at the school and me!

8:45 pm

hi again, all! Done with my conference call, back now to finish

8:45 pm

I would, lbd, but one is in Texas; the other, well that's another story...

8:46 pm

hey sue! **hugs and smile** I am glad you are here

8:46 pm

hi, stid! :-)

8:46 pm

...I foresee a semi-empty garage and straightened up house once this is all said and done!

8:46 pm

<-- thinks she may be able to have people come over after all!!!

8:46 pm

okay, the texas kid gets a break...has a month to come and get stuff.

8:46 pm

sounds pretty nice, pini -- I actually loaded a few (as in one box worth) things off a table today...

8:46 pm

hi UU!

8:47 pm

so sorry you have to deal with that, pini - it will be nice when it's done, though!

8:47 pm

hi, lbd!

I am trying very hard to pull myself together, but the side effects of the meds (so glad they are temporary) have set me back a lot. I DID manage to get in to the school this afternoon to help with the class party.

8:48 pm

ty dawg!...

8:48 pm

not a verb

8:48 pm

hi, jilly!

8:48 pm

8:49 pm

8:49 pm

new meds, Stid?

8:49 pm

most definitely, stid!

8:50 pm

I take my allegra D at night. I makes me tired

8:51 pm

the pollen is bad enough, but today, i swear all the customers were wearing varying degrees of scent that just made my eyes water and gave me sneezing fits.

8:51 pm

sorry in the AM, and the nose sprays at night

8:51 pm

I had a REALLY bad allergy to a contact allergen (unknown) in the garden a week and a half ago (Sunday) -- hives and one arm swelled up a LOT. The following day I was pretty out of it so stayed home. Managed to drag myself through two days in the classroom, coughing more and more, was home Thursday for something and coughed all day. That Friday when I woke up I couldn't catch my breath and Tom took me straight to urgent care. Finished a 5-day prednisone course yesterday, and on albuterol inhaler for as long as it takes.

8:52 pm

wow, I pray you feel better soon.

8:52 pm

thank god for Tom's quick thinking and getting you to hospital.

8:52 pm

I was told it's reactive airway because the doc couldn't hear me wheezing when I got to him, but I do wheeze sometimes, so suspect my dreams of being an astronaut are through.

8:53 pm

be nice to figure out what it was, too, so you know what to avoid in the future!

8:53 pm

lol, stid!!

8:53 pm

firewords !!! First time in .....years?

8:53 pm

indeed, sue -- getting out in my garden was one of the things that kept me going this past year... I love my garden and hate the thought I might be barred from working in it unless I have someone home with me.

8:53 pm

alas, perhaps your ashes will go to space for you.

8:53 pm

YAY liz!!!!!

8:53 pm

yahoooooo liz

8:53 pm

I hope they will, LBD -- in about 70 years! LOL

8:54 pm

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

actually, was told our new roof will be rated for 50 years (when it is put on next week) -- I commented that I would like to live long enough to replace it! *grin*

8:55 pm

ts6 is plural of the ts5, t + woman's name (****e Hawkins Day)

8:56 pm

when i lived in Pocatello, my little dog and I both had a really bad allergy attack. his eyes swole shut and he could hardly breath. Doc put him on predisone and benedryl. My doc put me on prednisone and allegra.

8:56 pm

t's tramped

8:56 pm

arg.... the u's

8:57 pm

sounds familiar LBD. poor puppy, poor you!

8:57 pm

dog's prednisone and mine were the same, but mine cost twice as much! go figure, same dosage and everything

8:57 pm

Ug, allergies. The glands in my neck are swollen and it feels I'm being strangled by a very weak toddler

8:57 pm

i's ixterminated!

8:58 pm

that is pretty funny, lbd

8:58 pm

I know -- they say that it's because the critters don't need the same level of documentation or cleanliness, but I claim it's all made in the same way in the same facilities.

8:58 pm

doc told me to always take allergy meds at night. you tend to itch more in your sleep causing skin to break open and get infected causing more problems

8:59 pm

we were both pretty pathetic, but found out it was airborne fertilizer from conagra...just down the road from us.

8:59 pm

hm. interesting idea, liz -- I take the new stuff in the morning because it's apparently not sedating. I might try switching it to the evening though...

8:59 pm

that is it, FIREWORKS!!!

8:59 pm

my foxhound/pit mix suffers from skin allergies in the spring, but I can't give him benadryl because he flips out. stares at the walls, growls, gets hyper alert, and then drops.

9:00 pm

lol

9:00 pm

the pharmacist told me it was the same drug. he counted out both bottles! said if he could he'd charge me the canine price.

9:00 pm

oh cr*p. I HATE that sh4! I can't even shop in the local garden store half the time because of the bagged for public use fertilizers!!! I much prefer the real thing -- manure, compost... that's GOOD sh4.

9:00 pm

sorry but that would be a hoot to watch origami

9:00 pm

whooooo hoooooo SUE!!

9:00 pm

I take Zyrtek. Non drowsy also, but at night.

9:00 pm

ah, tom is home with stidkid #2, I can't wait to hear what part he got in Anything Goes.

9:00 pm

WooT WooT WooT SUE!!

9:01 pm

oooh, another play!!

9:01 pm

good night all

9:01 pm

That's the new one the doc recommended. I used to take Claritin, but had run out - my allergies are not generally nose-related.

9:01 pm

brb

9:01 pm

YAY sue! sweet dreams

9:01 pm

I am going to try to deflea the dogs AGAIN!!!

9:01 pm

it is actually a little funny, but he growled at me once "under the influence." most definitely not his normal behavior. and he's a big powerful dog with a big toothy pit bull head, so growling and benadryl are now out

9:01 pm

good luck with that sue... *glad we don't usually have flea issues*

9:02 pm

i hate this. frontline plus, bomb the house, bomb the yard, dip dog, bomb house again, bomb yard again, capstar dogs. and repeat!!!

9:02 pm

I actually have excema, minor mold allergies and some pet dander allergies.

9:02 pm

man, origami -- I would be scared for that one.

9:02 pm

the benadryl effect, that is -- not the critter.

9:03 pm

no more benadryl for my sweet baby ...

9:03 pm

(sorry I missed the convo - phone)

9:03 pm

ugh.....shaved mine yesterday...dog that is. St. Bernard. Bathed this morning for fleas. He escaped the yard and proceeded to roll around in something that STINKS !!!

9:03 pm

yay, sue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

9:03 pm

9:44 pm

it obviously is not a children's book, and you can't be to proper to not have used the f word. the illustrations are wonderfully done too.

9:44 pm

ha lbd ... never had any trouble getting my little one to go to sleep. however, getting out of the crib in the middle of thenight and roaming the house while we were asleep was an entirely different story

9:45 pm

well, it's 7:45 and has cooled down to 98, so I guess I should go throw the ball around for the hounds. see ya later babblers

9:45 pm

a sleep walker or just a midnight prowler, ori?

9:45 pm

one of my grown kids sent me that book now that he is a parent. We laughed our heads off

9:46 pm

babblet city tonight!

9:46 pm

i nearly wet myself reading it. i can't wait to have my son read it! he has two little ones and i know his oldest is notorious for not wanting to go to sleep

9:50 pm

A night prowler. he was only a year old or so and would go into my home office and take everything out of my desk. go into the kitchen and take things out of the cupboard. empty the bathroom drawers, etc. eventually we had to put a latch hook on the outside of the bedroom door, just to keep him safe.

9:50 pm

the audio version with Samuel L. Jackson can be downloaded free, and is SOOOO funny!!!! (this is the book)

9:50 pm

(and I am going to bed, really)

9:50 pm

i bet he kept you on your toes at night.

9:51 pm

Nite Uusue

9:52 pm

The time we were downstairs and he got up and silently, stealthily got into his father's dresser and we found his little 13 month old body sitting there with GIANT sheers in his hand was when we put the latch on the door :-)

9:52 pm

night UU
