taz, you're amazing!

hi, all. Busy "un-stuffing" my abode —too much stuff! I'm having the carpet removed in LR/DR, trying to throw out things I'd be mortified to move out and move back.

1:12 am

hi melon -- good for you!

1:12 am

flosey, po4,5 is just like po5,12, just drop the end vowel

I moved here 16 years ago with nothing; stuff happens! And then I go to ceramics class—and make more stuff!

1:15 am

@ jilli, nah, just trying to learn the game well is all

1:16 am

have all the po words taz, I think I was responding to someone's request

Anyway, I consulted with my kids and, no they don't expect me to hang onto every fingerpainting like it was a Van Gogh. I'm even—gasp!—culling my photographs. Saying bye-bye to my collection of ticket stubs. I'm half thinking I should scan my programs from recitals and concerts and put them on flickr—this is such a change for me.

1:16 am

ahh ok :)

1:17 am

well, taz, you're doing just great!

If you have any numbers, send them my way. I will start calling around and find out where she lives. Do you know her name?

9:04 am

And yet you still type on...what a good girl!

9:05 am

i dont have numbers... i did find her on fb..and sent her a message to have him call me

9:05 am

she a teenager..she will check into fb eventually and i sent him a fb message too

9:05 am

and i know where she works..not taht i can get there...he has the car

9:06 am

I am so sorry. I dread those years.

9:06 am

this is the first time he pull this s***

9:07 am

OK. So we have the "I know you are getting older, but I would really appreciate a phone call to tell me you are staying over night" conversation.

9:07 am

from about 16 - 24 were the worst years - my two boys are now in their 30s, but there were times when I didn't think we would make it through

9:07 am

<---- shudders

9:07 am

yeap..he KNOWS that....but we willhave that one again

9:08 am

he is usualy very good about it..but this particular girl has a porn body...and well..a boy...and a girl..and not going there mentally

9:08 am

Damn teenage girls.

9:08 am

and she is not afraid to flaunt it

9:09 am

i can still remember that night when he stayed over at her apartment and i didn't know a number or how to get hold of him - and that was many years ago

9:09 am

as long as i have a phone number

9:09 am

and i have a vehicle

9:10 am

Aside from the porn body and flaunting it...is this girl decent?

9:10 am

no idea...she just appeared 2 days ago

9:10 am

i think i am going to turn his phone off

9:10 am

hmmm....

9:10 am

Oh good lord.

9:10 am

its in my name

9:10 am

No, then he can't call you.

9:11 am

and when he does try to use it he will panic

9:11 am

and call me

9:11 am

from her phone

9:11 am

then i have her number

9:11 am

Ahhhhh....

9:11 am

i do have a devious mind....

9:12 am

part of being a parent

9:12 am

good morning everyone:)

9:12 am

Hi crossy!

9:12 am

morning crossy

9:13 am

carlee...again...I am sorry about this situation for you. Call me if you need me.

9:13 am

good morning crossy

9:13 am

carlee, if this girl is a teen, does she live at home, and where are her parents?

9:13 am

no she does not live at home

9:13 am

sorry. that might have been a good thing.

9:15 am

DOXY!!!!! Good morning my eeyore companion!!!!

9:15 am

hi car. good to see you too

9:16 am

My old favorite uppers are in the grid today.

9:16 am

ok crossy..do the male weigh in... what do i do?

9:16 am

what is the situation?

9:16 am

fill me in

9:16 am

son..new girl ( porn star body..does not live at home) did not come home..phone turned off...she does nto live at home..i am without car...

9:17 am

and he is USUALLY very good about calling

9:17 am

he's 19

9:17 am

I'd buy him condoms

9:17 am

he has them

9:17 am

well,there is not much you can do,if you do not know where she or they hang out i am afraid

9:17 am

"Phone turned off" should never be an option. Never.

9:18 am

do i start calling hospital/ police incase my car been in an accident ( dog chewed through phone cord)

9:18 am

well..is it off or did it die molls

9:18 am

you could take away computer priviledges and ground him. if he still lives with you

9:19 am

he is nineteen, you cannot chase him around reminding him to wear a rubber...do you know where her parents live? they might have heard something....

9:19 am

am thinking of turning off his cell... and that way when he does turn it on he will panic

9:19 am

no idea...she appeared 2 days ago

9:19 am

at 19, that's a little hard to do. You can take away car priveleges though. Especially if it is your car.

9:19 am

hi Molly!

9:19 am

Hi Ruru!

9:19 am

mmm

9:20 am

Whose car is he driving?

9:20 am

I would use the "D" word...disappointed....that sometimes carries a little weight.

9:20 am

mine

9:20 am

take away the car.. carl

9:20 am

yeap...its on the list

9:20 am

Well that clearly is now not an option. Your car. You drive it.

9:20 am

i gotta get it back to take it away ruru

9:20 am

he has to understand "consequences"

9:20 am

Then if there was an accident, you would have been notified. Good chance they are both sleeping off a rough night. But he deserves the wrath of God when he comes home.

9:21 am

report it stolen. Have the police look for it.

9:21 am

the dog chewed through my phone cord..i guess they would show up here..mind..my license is still old house....

9:21 am

no..if i do that...then he will get a charge of theft over 5K

9:21 am

But the car registration?

9:22 am

is still in dxh name atm

9:22 am

No, don't report the car stolen. The cops don't like being used like that.

9:22 am

tough call at 19..if he is done school,he should be in post secondary courses or working..take the car away when you can and advise him he is an adult and has to show some responsability..at 18 my da gave he first and last months rent on a places,i got a job and got myself a used junker to drive...not sure what to say here

9:22 am

Have you talked to his Dad? Has he heard from him?

9:24 am

he wont hear from him..he is not speaking to his father

9:24 am

I would talk to him and explain his responsibilities in letting you know where his is.. and take away the car.. let him walk..

9:24 am

he is working full time hours...jsut not mon- fri 9-5

morning all :)

9:25 am

evening mrp

9:25 am

hi mrp. how are you

9:25 am

mr p can help

9:25 am

then he is ready to make his own rules under his own roof...if he wants to take centrefold girl and fill his new pad with babies..then that is it

9:25 am

hi mrp

9:25 am

time to leave the nest

9:26 am

(((MRP)))

9:26 am

Hi MRP!

hi ruuster, doxy, wvt, crossy et al **hugs**!!!

9:27 am

i do not mean to sound callosed,but at 19,working 40 hours..time to cut the cord

9:27 am

but those pretty ladies do have a way of turning a young fellas head around lol

9:27 am

I am with ruru...and somewhat with Crossy. If rent wasn't so outrageous I would say to get his own place.

9:28 am

if he can get a room or a batchelor pad using 50% or less of his monthly income..it can be done

9:29 am

he starts school in fall..he cant afford school and full time work

9:29 am

he did an extra semester in hs to pick up credits he needed for his program

9:29 am

did not know he was going to college or university

9:30 am

ahhh

9:30 am

so,like i told my boy,as long as he is in one form of school or another,he can stay at home

9:30 am

You know...keep in mind..Carlee said this is the first time this has happened (I think, right?). Let's see how it all plays out when he gets home. I think the hardest, Carlee, will be keeping your cool and not blowing up at him.

9:30 am

Carlee, you have to decide what the consequences for this are. But I will tell you, if there are no consequences, it's likely to happen again. Two weeks of taking public transportation instead of having a car makes a solid impact.

9:31 am

AGreed, Molly.

9:31 am

but saying that,i will not let him blow all his income just because he is getting room and board off of me,this is the time to save and byild up some cash

9:31 am

i will start with the D word....

9:31 am

very d'd

9:31 am

Did you have any appointments or need the car this morning?

9:32 am

and point out what he does have..and ask him if the roles were reversed...and he was in my shoes...what an acceptable outcome would be

9:32 am

at 7 am yes

9:32 am

think i will let you ladies hash this out..men are a tad different once the kids are adults,working 40 hours and done school(or mostly done)

9:33 am

Then him not having the car back by then is unacceptable, unless something dire happened.

9:33 am

he didnt knwo tho

9:34 am

He should know. If you are sharing a car with someone, you should be aware of when they need it.

9:34 am

Unfortunately, i have to go. Carlee, I left you my number in FB. Please call if you need anything. I will be thinking of you and your son. {{hugs}}

9:34 am

he is working 40 hours..he is saving for college..like i said..this is a way out of left field incident for him

9:34 am

Is he supposed to be at work now?

9:34 am

thanks car.ee...i replied btw :)

9:35 am

then as he is an adult,he cannot be reported as missing untill he has been gone for 24 hours

9:35 am

not that i know of

9:35 am

then the police can issue a B.O.L.O on your car and plates

9:35 am

OK. I will check in with you later. *poof*

9:36 am

He doesn't work on Friday?

9:36 am

then if he is not hurt,tear a strip off of him and remove his use of said car

9:36 am

he is not mon- fri

9:36 am

he works retail at canadian tire

9:37 am

( is a lowes type or home depot type store here)

9:37 am

did you phone his work?

9:37 am

de6?

9:38 am

no

9:38 am

I was married to a Canadian. : D I know of Canadian Tire. Carlee, good chance it was a late, drunken night and he is sleeping it off somewhere, unaware of the worry he is causing. Just make sure there are consequences for this once it's over.

9:38 am

oh there will be

9:38 am

stupid ass

9:39 am

oh Boy .. I want to hear about this once he tries to explain this.. he's testing his limits

9:39 am

and 19 year old male are synonyms

9:40 am

I'm sorry you are going through all this worry. I hope you hear from him soon.

9:41 am

silly thought ... do you know her name? Does she work at the Canadian Tire store? Call in and ask for her ...

9:42 am

I hate to say it Carlee.. but I was worse than that as a teenager.

9:44 am

but then again.. my parents didn't give a crap about what I did or didn't do

9:44 am

<--- Is not surprised to read that about Ruru. : D

9:44 am

ok... police have not had to run plate

9:44 am

sooo...no accident

9:45 am

i know her name..she does nto work at cdn tire...

9:45 am

she des nto live at home

9:45 am

if he had been drinking it's best that he not have come home.

9:46 am

sounds like she's good at inflating ..maybe working at a tire shop will be good for her

9:46 am

he could have called

9:46 am

she works at a coffee house

9:46 am

HE SHOULD HAVE CALLED

9:46 am

Agreed that he should not have been driving if he was drinking. The lack of a phone call is what is unexcusable.

9:46 am

that too

9:46 am

T

9:46 am

R

9:46 am

T

9:47 am

hi again inge

9:48 am

Any way if the attorney you work for can find out if he was arrested for anything? If he had to spend the night in jail, he wouldn't have been able to call you.

9:49 am

yes he would have called me....so i get in touch with lawyer

9:49 am

molly takes the dark side of this

9:49 am

likewise..she was at court this am by 8:30 and she would have seen his name on the docket and she would have called me

9:50 am

we have the whole jail thing covered like flies on shit

9:50 am

And don't go freaking out about "arrested". Kids his age get arrested for dope related things and drunk and disorderly all the time.

9:50 am

( video court with prisoners is at 8:30 a.m.)

9:50 am

i know molls i dealw ith them daily

9:50 am

experienced mom here says he is most likely sleeping it off and then will feel guilty

9:50 am

sounds like Congress to me molly

9:50 am

i get 2 or 3 of those calls a day with kids freaking out in jail

9:51 am

and sometimes guilty kids have a hard time facing mom, so put it off

9:51 am

So not arrested and no accident. That leaves the obvious. What Dorens said.

9:51 am

yeap...unless in hospital...cus drank too much

9:51 am

they could have been up all night playing monopoly..

9:52 am

or twister...

9:52 am

Oh yes Ru. Or Twister.

9:52 am

Snap

9:52 am

or scrabble, why not?

9:52 am

uh....i have had her serve me coffee.....( i recognized her)....she shouldnt work a cash register...she cant do the math

9:52 am

scrabble is a possibility too

9:52 am

booze...drugs ( maybe) and lots and lots of sex i imagine but dont want to

9:52 am

with a porn star body she probably doesn't need to count

9:53 am

she doesnt

9:53 am

hello everybody

9:53 am

hi ruby

9:53 am

sounds like carleekat is really up against it today; I'll have to read back

9:55 am

i really want a dull boring life

9:55 am

a few years..of monotonous

9:55 am

we could trade places.....

9:55 am

i swear between MRP and me... we could make one hell of a soap opera

9:56 am

you should write the book carlee ... make millions

9:56 am

hi wildcat

9:56 am

hi hi

9:56 am

except you'll have to call it fiction cuz no one will believe all that happened in real life

9:58 am

i dont really want to relive it all again wild...not for a few millions

10:01 am

can someone clue the 9?

10:01 am

plural of the po 8

10:01 am

nm

10:01 am

10:01 am

10:01 am

10:02 am

thanks ruby was just getting to that

10:02 am

10:06 am

11:11 am

HHi, all, at the airport waiting to board my plane.

12:17 pm

1:04 pm

1:04 pm

hi all

1:04 pm

i bet someone at the bar would have let him borrow a phone to call his mom

1:09 pm

*pokes the chog to see if it is still al*** *

1:13 pm

I agree with JMC. "My phone died, her phone died" is no excuse.

1:14 pm

IT"S AL***!!!

1:14 pm

1:26 pm

1:26 pm

Got it thanks and thanks Molly :)

1:26 pm

hi jmc

1:27 pm

It's a good thing for my kids that they never tried "I had no idea you'd be so upset" when they had been out all night and half the next day with my car. A real good thing.

1:31 pm

hi everyone can i have a clue 4 the po9 please

1:32 pm

The po8 is beans grow around a bean po** + you can ite**** your tax deductions. Plural it.

1:33 pm

my son would not have li**d to tell the story and he knew it. he always called

1:39 pm

but i started him out right--the first night he went out and came back 1 minute late i grounded him--so he knew i meant business

ive just come back from a 5 day working holiday and im exhausted but missed u all and babble ofcourse

1:46 pm

Clue for de6/21, please?

1:48 pm

I did the same thing with my kids when they came home late. Once they knew the consequences, they weren't late anymore. And they KNOW how much I worry about them, so they would never have bothered trying that "no idea you'd be so upset" BS.

1:49 pm

Sounds like a kind of fuel Bea.

1:52 pm

no kidding molly i trust she gave it to him

1:54 pm

Thanks, Molly.

1:54 pm

Bea de6/21 old time acne cream d + cl**ra***

1:55 pm

My youngest learned as soon as he got his cell phone that not keeping the battery charged was grounds for the phone being taken away. He charges that battery faithfully so he is never out of touch. And he learned that at 16.

1:56 pm

Nothing old time about that acne cream, it's still alive and well.

1:56 pm

can i have a different clue for that de6 please

1:56 pm

Glad to know! :o) My teen acne years are well past - so wasn't sure it was still out there -

2:18 pm

ty buff i didn't see the stats

2:19 pm

should have se** those words though!

2:23 pm

hello peeps -- 16 left here

2:23 pm

I'm about to change icons to a clue one, although most of you will probably have the word.

2:25 pm

Just thought I should wave a Quebec flag at you for that province's "Fête Nationale" which is today.

2:28 pm

Bonne fete nationale, Jilli!

2:28 pm

(that's zhee-lee, btw)

2:29 pm

Je me souviens!!

2:30 pm

my senior high yearbook quote was "as they say in Quebec <<je me souviens>>"

2:31 pm

Yes, well that wasn't such a pleasant motto -- it implied that the French were "remembering" past "injustices".

2:32 pm

It used to be "la belle province" -- much happier sentiment.

2:32 pm

yes... my highschool years were good and bad -- it was meant to be bittersweet

2:33 pm

"je me souviens" was an anti-anglo sentiment promoted by the separatists.

2:34 pm

I think the bid to split off in the early 80s that was squashed only helped their bitterness come to the front. Like a veiled threat.... "just you wait, 'Enry 'Iggins"

2:35 pm

June 24 used to be Jean Baptiste Day, with happy parades and a little boy made into a sort of saint for the occasion.

2:36 pm

So when did it change to La Fete?

2:37 pm

We left after the last referendum in 1995. I understand things are less tense now, although there is still an attempt to ban the English language or at least marginalise it.

2:37 pm

Good question, mich -- I'll have to google it.

2:39 pm

It was 1977 -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_ Holiday_%28Quebec%29

2:41 pm

I was able to finally visit Quebec 4 years ago. In Quebec City people were cordial to English speakers, but we also spent time in a small town where hotel staff spoke French. I was ok, but some of the good old boy contractors on the trip were put out. We went to see the Boa-FrancFlooring factory in St Georges.

2:41 pm

Merci pour la information, Jilli

2:44 pm

bienvenue, mich

2:47 pm

a bientot, Jilli. Il faut que je partir.

2:48 pm

I see you were in "le Beauce", where the people are considered a bit off the wall by the rest of Quebec. I don't know why.

2:48 pm

Au revoir, mich!

2:48 pm

Now for the icon change...

2:51 pm

Here we are...

2:54 pm

Jilli, I want to try the tomato soup cake recipe, and the fact it uses cream cheese frosting makes me think it might be similar to carrot cake... am I right?

2:54 pm

I might not have worded that very well but basically I'd like an idea of what it would taste like before I make it, haha

2:54 pm

You are right, roxbi :-)

2:55 pm

You would have no idea it contained tomato soup

2:56 pm

Ah, fair enough. I've looked at your profile before and seen it, but I keep forgetting to ask about it. I will have to try it though!

2:57 pm

It's really easy and tasty and freezes well.

2:57 pm

That's just what a student wants to hear... :D

3:01 pm

I had an uncle who lived in Blisland, near Bodmin, Cornwall. I never met him though -- my father's half-brother. Cousins (also never met) still in Cornwall.

3:01 pm

Can you speak Cornish besides all those other languages?

3:02 pm

Hello :)

3:02 pm

And I love that "Doc Martin" TV series.

3:17 pm

Hello Kap, Molly, Cos, and Une!

3:17 pm

Hi Jilli

3:18 pm

What an adorable dog, une!

hello all

3:19 pm

hello all...

3:21 pm

Well, as long as everyone's saying hello, I will too

hello hello hello

3:23 pm

11 left. all V's and one sp5 word... ugh cant find that sp5... its the one after the CIA agents

3:23 pm

never mind found it

3:24 pm

***fireworks*** (last word was a French version of having had one's passport validated, sort of. Never heard of it before, had to use morewords. Boo.)

3:24 pm

jillibus - I was just reading back in the chog and noticed that you know about La Beauce. I have lived just on the other side of La Beauce in the U.S. for 15 years. My son played hockey in St.Come for 6 years. What more do you know about the Beauce area? How do you know this area?

3:24 pm

s + p*** of clothes on the floor

3:26 pm

Hi fuzzy -- I really don't know much at all about the Beauce. I lived in the Montreal area for nearly 50 years and we used to hear about it.

3:27 pm

the last vi6?

3:28 pm

Jilli, sorry I didn't reply straight away. I live very near to Blisland and know a few people there. I can speak a handful of Cornish words and phrases, though it's not really a widely spoken language nowadays, with no native speakers! It's very sad really :(

3:28 pm

Jilli - I know that the accent used in the Beauce is comparable to a Southern accent in the US. I had a very hard time understanding people there at first. They had an equally hard time with my French that was liberally peppered with Russian and English.

3:30 pm

fireworks

3:30 pm

YAY cos!

3:30 pm

Way to go Cos! this is a tough grid!

3:31 pm

sweet! cos

3:34 pm

Roxbi -- I wonder if you know my cousins or their kids. Surnames Martin, Flack, Mills, Elliot and Smith (I know, too comoom!).

3:36 pm

fuzzy -- Quebec French seems to have many varieties, and then there's Acadian French, which gets laughed at by les Québécois, who get laughed at by the French from France or Belgium...etc.

3:37 pm

Apart from Flack I know people with all those surnames, the people from Blisland that I know are Browns, I think. It would be weird if I know people you were related to though, hehe.

3:37 pm

*common

3:37 pm

Jilli - How true. And there is my French which gets laughed at by all!

3:38 pm

And Roxbi -- you're not in Aberystwyth, are you? I have family there too.

3:39 pm

Nah, when I'm in Wales I'm in Bangor, Gwynedd. :)

3:39 pm

el 6/21 anyone?

3:39 pm

Oh well.

3:40 pm

el + long poem + vowel, ru

3:40 pm

Hello darling ruru. el6/21 sort of sounds like a variation on that theme

How Soodle Lost Her Bum. Sounds like an Irish children's story.

5:01 pm

or a good pub song

5:01 pm

Oh, Molly - With most stories, I am saying 'How does it end?', but with the How Soodle Lost Her Bum, I want to know how does it start..........

5:01 pm

<---------- big bum!

5:02 pm

5:04 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EPsuOE H1fY

5:05 pm

On a saner note.... My uncle Louis gave a concert last night in the National Concert Hall in Dublin. It was amazing. I was hoping it might have appeared on YouTube, but nothing yet. In the meantime, here is a taste of him - he is a Consultant Psychiatrist, and is known as The Singing Shrink...http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=fiVBUT-oJe4

5:06 pm

he has a lovely voice :)

5:08 pm

I am going to get him to pen a song about Soodle losing her bum. No doubt it will be a huge chart success.... :-P

5:10 pm

Wrap me up in me oilskins and blankets...'Tis a fine auld song Lass and he sings it well.

5:11 pm

I would gladly pay serious bucks to be in therapy with that man.

5:13 pm

Indeed he does, Moll. He is my Dad's youngest brother (MyDad was the eldest of 15!!!!). All 15 of them were talented/brainy/good singers. (Hard act to follow!!).

5:14 pm

i wish we had this type of entertainment here...

5:14 pm

As I suspected Soodle, you come from good stock.

5:15 pm

Uncle Louis has been know RX a walk on the bog over conventional medicine. And it seems to work!!!

5:16 pm

Carlee..... come to Ireland!!!!

5:16 pm

( completely aside..my baby wolf has decided today that i need to share my sofa with him...he does not understand that sofa's are off limits...but when i explain to him..he climbs onto my back and nibbles my ear...)

5:16 pm

Carlee, please tell me that you've had the pleasure of Alan Doyle and Great Big Sea. Some of Canada's finest.

5:17 pm

i would love to soods..the centenary for guiding over there is next summer and a bunch are going..alas..i cannot afford the trip :(

5:17 pm

oh i have seen great big sea in concert..

5:17 pm

but i mean..the concept of going to a pub and just hearing the auld songs...

5:18 pm

Uncle Louis prescribes good meds. : )

5:18 pm

( JmC..much buzz there about the New york senate vote happening tonight?)

5:20 pm

( will be back shortly..going to wash out my frying pan from dinner and pop some popcorn..real popcorn..with real butter )

5:21 pm

<-------wishes and wishes and wishes some Babbler would come over here.

5:23 pm

Hello again/1

5:23 pm

Hi Car.

I am not on my regular computer. Using my son's laptop. It should be a !

5:24 pm

So Carlee, if you don't mind my asking, were there any consequences for your son?

5:25 pm

not yet... its his first "offense" of this nature... he was truly upset that i was so upset...

5:25 pm

he knows if it happens again..momma gonna drop the hammer

5:25 pm

I am glad to hear that he "got" it.

5:27 pm

i used the Disappointed vs disappointed

5:27 pm

and he was... very sheepish

5:29 pm

I am just glad that he is home safe as I am sure you are.

5:31 pm

LOL Every and all babblers welcome chez Soodle. Hi

5:31 pm

May I have a clue for the second A word? I have ae 4/4 ... a long tme

5:31 pm

Hi Car

5:31 pm

How are you this evening Soodle?

5:32 pm

NM. Just found the other ae

5:33 pm

I am very well, thank you, Car :-). And you?

5:33 pm

ok..got my real popcorn

5:33 pm

I am well. Exhausted but otherwise OK. Having a lot of nightmares and bad sleep lately.

5:33 pm

with real butter and real se* salt

5:34 pm

<--- opens mouth for carlee to toss in a piece of popcorn

5:34 pm

oh oh..caree try taking acai...i have heard it really improves sleep amoungst other things

5:34 pm

puttingbowl of popcorn in pb for all to share

5:34 pm

Nothing seems to be helping. Last night I had some wine...big mistake.

5:35 pm

until life settled a bit for me...i didnt have nightmares..but all my dreams had a creepy feel to them...

5:35 pm

Oh, Sorry to hear that, Car. I always think that if you have had a good nights sleep, you are better prepared to face the crap that the following day throws at you. Without a good night's sleep, you are at an immediate disadvantage :-(

5:36 pm

Last night I was being buried alive...tortured as I was being killed. Don't need to be Freud to figure it out, but still upsetting.

5:36 pm

puppy likes popcorn..go figure...

5:37 pm

5:37 pm

No...all I can do is wake myself up.

5:37 pm

5:40 pm

A walk on a bog, on a misty summers morning. 'Twould cure what ails you' ..... (the world according to Uncle Louis)....

5:40 pm

I will definitely check him out when I am able. Thank you for the link!

5:41 pm

bogs this time of year are mozzie ridden...

5:42 pm

Was he wild and woolly?

If he was sheepish, maybe you could count him and get to sleep?

5:49 pm

And a prayer out to the Mother as well Car. She's always there for her daughters.

5:49 pm

he may have been last night..but today his tail was between his legs

There will never be another ewe.

Shear lunacy.

I'm sorry-I am not being helpful.

5:51 pm

5:52 pm

I gotta leave again- see you tomorrow.

5:52 pm

5:52 pm

5:56 pm

I've been there too Soodle. I had a different take on it, but everyone has their own take on things.

5:56 pm

It probably will happen again - but each time it does you will easier with it. That is how it worked with me

5:56 pm

well..yes expect it to happen again..but not in near future...

5:58 pm

anyway..he is at work..is coming home from work..and going to bed..

5:58 pm

Carlee. My genuis of a (then) 18 yr old thought it would be OK to take a girl home... to My home. My daughter came into my room early in the morning and said 'I think theres somebody with Paul in his room'. I peeked in, and saw a blonde head in the bed beside my boy. I was dumbfounded. I actually called him from my cell phone to his cell phone.......GET YOUR SORRY ASS IN HERE RIGHT NOW....

5:59 pm

If I have missed anything I am sorrry...I am on the phone

6:00 pm

we had something "similar " happen a couple weeks ago..but they seriously fell asleep....i had to let the dog out..they were clothed....under diff blankets but cuddled....and she was "not that kind" of girl as opposed to the most recent one...

6:00 pm

Oh, pray tell, what happened to boy genius then?

6:02 pm

Molly, I will spare your blushes. But it was not pretty.

6:02 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlufq2j EHhY

6:04 pm

Soodle, you know by now, I don't blush. But you can keep that one under the table if needs be. I imagine you gave it to him like he deserved. Well done.

6:05 pm

6:18 pm

*Happily takes a cinnamon pecan, YUM*

6:18 pm

(((((At least MollyL's not a scarlet lady.............)

6:19 pm

I did NOT know that, lynxxx! how neat! *stores away in geographic trivia section under "amazing country facts" and cross files under "start of winter"*

6:20 pm

I know - I was amazed when I found it out only a few years ago lol

6:21 pm

*grin* amazing the things one learns late(r) in life... today I drove on a stretch of "chestnut" street in Olympia that didn't exist until this year!

6:22 pm

NBT!

6:29 pm

( is listening to the debate on the new york senate floor )

6:29 pm

I told my son he couldn't swear until he were 18 - worked for some weird reason

6:29 pm

there is a kind of a takeoff on goodnight moon and there is a reading of it by Samuel L. Jackson which is profane but hysterical

6:30 pm

halfway! I am going to head out -- so very tired. Helped today for the last day of school. Very busy, then took the younger stidkid to lunch... was a long day. Back later to finish.

6:30 pm

*poof*

6:30 pm

I put a reserve on the book at the library

6:30 pm

what's the 3rd letter of the po8?

6:30 pm

Is it the Go to f***ing Sleep book?

6:30 pm

L Wild

6:30 pm

that's it!

6:30 pm

l

6:30 pm

hi Espritd

6:30 pm

6:31 pm

But hearing him read it is too funny

6:31 pm

bye Stid

6:31 pm

later stiddy

hi lyn, everyone

I actually don't like it but so far I have been in the minority

and most of you KNOW I have a fondness for the raunchy

6:33 pm

i read it and i just remembered the 3 am with colic... and diaper rash..and zero sleep ... and in my head u are saying just go the F*** to sleep

6:33 pm

I can picture a Quentin Tarantino short based on it lol

6:34 pm

esprit u missed my link earlier...

6:34 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlufq2j EHhY

for?

6:34 pm

just a funny song...

do I just copy and paste that in my browser?

6:35 pm

a tad raunchy

6:35 pm

yeap...

6:35 pm

May I have a clue for the po8?

including the EHhY part?

6:36 pm

po8 what you run a flag up and vermin but change the C

6:37 pm

to engage in controvercial discusions...

6:37 pm

nothing like a little evening skiffle carleekat

6:37 pm

You're not in the minority Jean. I have no problem with profanity. And while I understand the sentiment, I didn't find the book as hilarious as most people.

6:37 pm

Thanks lynxxx!

6:38 pm

yes..in clude the EHhY

6:39 pm

If you can maintain an open mind, listen to the samuel l jackson version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeKxIaG _f_c

6:40 pm

7:03 pm

I should change my icon to one of the pictures I've taken.

7:04 pm

oh, I know...one of the pics showing the 'carpet' that was beneath mine! OMG...it's hideous!

7:04 pm

thanks carlee. Sending you some roast beast, Pini with all the trimmings

7:04 pm

evening again. I've been playing outside with my grandson; we picked a bowl of strawberries and he ate most of them. THen my daughter caught a baby bunny and played in the dirt and pulled weeds and had all sorts of fun

7:04 pm

oh, thank you soooo much, lbd!!!!

7:05 pm

Pini, are you remodeling?

7:05 pm

no...restoring from a water burst

7:05 pm

Oh, No!

7:06 pm

blessing in disguise...the garage is being emptied (don't have to wait for my kids to come get the stuff they left behind); all new flooring!

7:08 pm

Oh-oh DH says time to eat. BBL!

7:09 pm

passing pini some left over real popcorn with real butter to munch on if that helps

7:09 pm

oooooh, yummy, too!

7:09 pm

icon changed to hideous carpet ;)

7:10 pm

that is pretty hideous

7:10 pm

who would CHOOSE that to begin with?

7:10 pm

they used it as the padding for the berber (sp) carpet!

7:10 pm

not sure...

7:13 pm

waiting for a pic of how the kitchen floor looks now (without the vinyl and 1st layer of underfloor - down to the sub floor now)

7:15 pm

ok...my icon is now my "barn floor" ;)

7:15 pm

(showing 2 of the 6 fans in the kitchen/dining room)

7:16 pm

been there done that...

7:16 pm

ok..so..i have done 7 loads of laundry today...

7:16 pm

i am currently OUT of underwear

7:16 pm

I can't do laundry for another 4 days; care to do mine, too???

7:16 pm

and in those 7 loads of laundry i have now washed 1 pair of underwear..WTF is all my freakin UNDERWEAR????

7:16 pm

ROFL

7:16 pm

Hi pini and all. Heard about the water fountain at your house. Next time make it an outdoor feature. New flooring is nice though.

7:17 pm

how can you be out after 7 loads?

7:17 pm

* giggle * thanks stidg...it's been "fun"

7:17 pm

exactly MY freaking POINT???? where is it all?????

7:17 pm

the dog ate it, sistah...yeah, that's it!

7:17 pm

i am down to odds and sods...

7:18 pm

Well, at least it is summer. You can put on a swimsuit and not need other undies.

7:18 pm

the stupid piddly ass crap that just never gets washed cus u are sitting there with 18 odd socks..and a tea towl and a couple oven mitts

7:18 pm

stidg, is that your gorgeous dog??

7:18 pm

Bon Soir Gran Mere.

7:19 pm

I found a box of random sox in the garage today...maybe they're your matches!!! LOL

7:19 pm

but seriouslly.... where the heck??????

7:19 pm

maybe they are...

7:19 pm

Hi Molly and uneaixoise. Yes, that is Murphy. He is almost 8 months old. Very calm labrador.

7:19 pm

<--- Not touching why Carlee can't find her underwear.

7:20 pm

stidg, he's sooooo pretty!

7:20 pm

I'm thinking some sailboat has pretty nice sails of many colors.

hi all, me8 clue pls?

7:20 pm

<--- is hoping we end up with calm german shepherd

7:21 pm

Mr. Torme + od5

7:21 pm

He's gorgeous, stidg...

7:21 pm

me*'s diner and go to the ***** to watch a movie

7:21 pm

Ty he is a real sweetheart. He has gone to puppy and intermediate training and we're signing him up for advanced. He tries to do his homework everyday. Doesn't let me forget.

ty.

7:22 pm

*Passes Gran Mere a doggy treat for Murphy*

7:22 pm

i hope that sailboat is sailing all over the world then gramma stiddy

7:22 pm

ty for the treat, he works for treats.

7:22 pm

Well, if the sails are made of your undies, probably you want it closer to home.

7:22 pm

How's he doing with downward dog?

7:23 pm

its the closest i will get to sailing the world...so might as well be my undies

7:23 pm

<<<<<< this little dachsund mix was soooo affectionate and such a ham every time I got out my camera!

7:23 pm

he looks like a real treat, une!

7:24 pm

<----- this beast felt the need to climb on my back and nibble my ear whilst i was lyin gon sofa babbling today

7:24 pm

Not into the bow yet. He does it but not on command. I've caught him quite a few times doing the down bow but he doesn't yet get that he is doing a trick.

7:24 pm

a clever one, sistah...nice ears ;)

7:24 pm

pini, I feel sure he'll get adopted FAST -- sooo appealing!

7:25 pm

Skipper looks very alert. Good dog, Skipper.

7:25 pm

*Clarifies for the entire chog audience that this is a tiny sailboat with dainty sails, not a schooner with bloomer sails*

7:25 pm

he has face just like my Koda, une...except Koda is a beagle :)

7:25 pm

ROFL, molly

7:25 pm

oh, i can see the resemblance -- i remember Koda's pix!

7:25 pm

more like colourful flags molls ;)

7:26 pm

lasenza has a sale on...10 pairs for 30.00 i am tempted to go buy all new tomorrow....

7:26 pm

oh Unea, skipper is adorable! I wish I could adopt him.

7:27 pm

dawg, I had him cuddled up next to me in the front seat the whole way! :-)

7:27 pm

Dammit, I was just going to post something to the effect that since Carlee only has one pair of underwear, she is probably going more without than with.

7:27 pm

3 cats and a 14 week puppy who is already 45 pounds....

7:28 pm

It would be a nice luxury to have all new 10 pairs of multi colors at the beginning of summer. Go for it, carlee.

7:28 pm

commando it is molls.....i have only yet found one pair...and it just came out of the dryer

7:28 pm

Gran Mere, Murphy is adorable. If I could tolerate a dog, it would be one that looked like him.

7:29 pm

Allergies? I would love to have a cat but can't do it because of the itching, hives, etc.

7:29 pm

Carlee, perhaps you should consult Soodle's Uncle Louis about your inability to keep track of your undies.

7:29 pm

i'm with you there, Stidgmere. Cats are great...from afar

7:29 pm

ok, koda's pic is up now...better than the 'barn floor'

7:30 pm

No allergies Gran Mere. It's just that I have raised three kids and don't want another dependent. Mayhap I will change my mind in a few years. Dogs are a lot of work.

7:30 pm

such a sweet face!!!!!!!!!!

7:30 pm

I agree...cats from a looooong afar are just fine

7:30 pm

Who is Uncle Louis? What are his qulifications for undie finding?

7:30 pm

He's Soodle's Uncle, the singing shrink. : )

7:30 pm

excellent idea molls...

7:31 pm

Koda is all beagle! what a loving face

7:31 pm

i could just lay back...and listen to him until all my troubles melt away...9 and the undies reappear )

7:31 pm

Yes, I think Murphy will be our last dog. He needed to go out during the night the first few months, then had to be calmed down during the night when he slept outside, now he is learning about not tearing up plants.

7:31 pm

Sigmund would suggest you have lost a part of your sexuality. That's just the way he was.

7:32 pm

Perhaps undies are overrated? Hate to think they are underrated.

7:32 pm

lost a part of it.....just not getting any....end of statement

7:33 pm

and on that note...

7:33 pm

Fireworks!!!

7:34 pm

<<<<dawg, this is little Scooter (female) who was also on the adoption train!! :-)

7:34 pm

wtg shelley

7:34 pm

Well, carlee hope things are looking up after doing so many loads of wash. Then the folding, ironing, putting away.

7:34 pm

congrats, shelley!

7:34 pm

Congrats Shelley!!!

7:34 pm

whoooo hooooo SHELLEY!!

7:34 pm

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*for shelley

7:35 pm

yeah shelley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

7:35 pm

mostly folding and putting away..a few to hang... i dont own an iron anymore....and dxh threw out my ironing board

7:35 pm

well, if skipper looks anything like scooter, i'm sure someone will want him in no time.

7:35 pm

hi all. back to finish with 58 left.

7:36 pm

Well, time to heat dinner and wash the first fresh strawberries of the year from our local area. Stidmama bought them this afternoon.

7:36 pm

enjoy gramma

7:36 pm

they've got the magic adoption combination: small, friendly, and sweet tempered

7:36 pm

Good Stid, bringing her Mama some fresh strawberries. Bon appetite Gran Mere.

7:36 pm

oohhh, enjoy your strawberries, stidg!

7:38 pm

yumm fresh strawberries!

7:39 pm

i remember the days of homemade strawberry shortcake

7:39 pm

nowi do raspberry or blueberry or peach

7:40 pm

I could do the raspberries, but none of the others....I know, I'm strange

7:40 pm

i am allergic to strawberries...

7:41 pm

i should carry an epi pen..but i just avoid berry anything when am out

7:43 pm

I don't do strawberries...tooo berry-like

7:44 pm

i like peaches with blueberries....yummmm

7:44 pm

raspberries are as close as I'll go...unless its jam! :)

7:45 pm

now i'm simply getting hungry, but not sure what I want for dinner (especially since I have to go out to get it)

7:45 pm

i want something but i haveno idea what it is

7:46 pm

something sweet..but not chocolate of caramel...

7:46 pm

same here...but if I don't go in the near future, I may be too sore to go later on

7:46 pm

or* caramel

7:46 pm

well..off u go then girlie

7:46 pm

but what am I going to get?

7:46 pm

mexican?

7:47 pm

* thinking * taco bell? taco time?

7:47 pm

i could do taco bell right now..even tho i want sweet

7:47 pm

taco salad...

7:48 pm

ooooh, a taco salad actually sounds good!

7:48 pm

7:49 pm

I can't even make that...the kitchen is under seige

7:49 pm

7:49 pm

7:49 pm

7:50 pm

7:51 pm

my stove and fridge are in the middle of the dining room right now

7:51 pm

7:51 pm

9:09 pm

9:11 pm

oh god..what a day..the kids are finished the school year and the entire population of toronto has descended upon our northern retreat..;(punks with mohawks and baseball hats on sideways with their underwear elastic placed around the armpit area...lord help crossy..driving mommy and daddys beemer and putting 7 dollars of regular in it at a time...asking me the best place to buy crack and blunt wraps..ugh....

9:12 pm

so sorry crossy. I would gladly welcome you down here.

9:12 pm

you would only have to deal with all the road construction.

9:13 pm

it is all part of the game..we just have to get reaclimatized to our city visitors again

9:13 pm

I agree about the kids and their underwear showing. I am so tempted to go up behind them and yank their pants down to their ankles

9:14 pm

they vent themselves in a blast that lasts till sept first..then we get our towns back

9:14 pm

our police actually like it,with the jean crotches around the knees..they cannot run away as fast that way

9:15 pm

9:52 pm

hi donnie, no book sales

9:52 pm

whatcha have for dinner, pini?

9:52 pm

taco salad!

9:53 pm

that sounds good!

9:53 pm

wasn't too bad, but they didn't have any 1,000 Island dressing :(

9:53 pm

where'd you go for it?

9:53 pm

donnie...whatcha need a book for?

9:53 pm

Taco Bell

9:54 pm

ahhh, well just add a little mayo to the hot sauce

9:54 pm

It was a bit overpriced (IMO)

9:54 pm

Thanks Pini and lbdawger for the answers. I'm at that age where my brain and fingers don't function together and to have the puzzle on paper would be real nice. Have a good evening.

9:54 pm

Hello donnie828! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.

9:54 pm

all they had was hot sauces (of varying temps)

9:55 pm

No worries, donnie...do keep playing though...the grid flips every 24 hours!

9:55 pm

doing it on paper is good, but then you still need to put them in the computer to see if you got the right ones. :-) keep on trying tho. good for the brain cells.

9:56 pm

Hi ther Minveryork. I am doing better with this puzzle some of the time. I have not yet done the entire puzzle.

9:56 pm

oh, and donnie...you can always click on Lickety's Babble Clues below the grid to get a screen where it shows the grid and a list of all the words (not the answers, just the first 2 letters of each word, how long they are, and their point value)...you can probably print that out :)

9:56 pm

donnie, you print out each puzzle

9:56 pm

and you would have it on paper to work on

9:56 pm

ask for clues, donnie, we'll be glad to help.

9:57 pm

oh, yeah...everyone will jump in to help and make sure you're comfortable! :)

9:57 pm

ok, got my fireworks, and as long as I am up will check out scramble and then back to bed. happy babbling all

10:07 pm

sorry i must vent..a gang of peta vegans descended upon us this week,wrapping themselves up to look like packaged meat in a butcher shop,was nasty,i do not force my meat views on them,please do not force your views on me

10:07 pm

I so agree, crossy!

10:07 pm

no need to be sorry!

10:07 pm

*occasional veggie hugs for cross*

10:07 pm

10:08 pm

...another day down! :)

10:08 pm

((stidmama)))

10:08 pm

sorry cross -- that's really not okay in my opinion, though I DO understand people wanting to minimize critter suffering.

10:08 pm

heh. peta. *shakes head*

10:08 pm

hey pini! how's the floor going?

10:08 pm

hey jes!

10:08 pm

how's our beautiful critters?

10:08 pm

hi all :)

10:08 pm

still squirrel like :)

10:08 pm

critters are driven out of thier graze land to make room for their tofu...

10:09 pm

everything has to have a balance

10:09 pm

Well, stid...it's like this...I'm living in a wind tunnel right now...they've taken the kitchen floor out all the way to the subfloor and have 7 fans running into the baseboard, etc., to try and dry everything out...

10:09 pm

hi jes ;)

10:09 pm

??? wow pini... wow

10:09 pm

dry is good though... so glad it happened THIS time of year instead of middle of winter!

10:10 pm

10:12 pm

and i, for one, always appreciate rants about stupid peta tricks :)

10:13 pm

I agree with crossy regarding individuals imposing their believes on other by getting in peoples faces...sometimes it makes me stand my ground even harder...

10:13 pm

yep. PETA drives me APE... *wicked mama grin -- would be bananas, but saying ape is more fun with them...*

10:13 pm

*snerk*

10:14 pm

yes jes... sometimes I get a little contrary, even when I agree with basic ideas -- I just HATE obnoxious people.

10:14 pm

that's right, stid!

10:14 pm

does seeing them shivering away in their "rather be naked" statements just make you want to offer them a nice hot bowl of chicken soup, to help them stay warm?

10:15 pm

or is that just me?

10:15 pm

not at all ... * giggle *

10:15 pm

*gasp* oh jes! I wouldn't waste good chicken soup that way... not even good miso soup. nope. they can freeze they little tuckuses off. (not sure how to spell tuckus?)

11:52 pm

SWEET !

11:53 pm

11:53 pm

: )

11:53 pm

There were several classics in the mall last weekend and when he saw the blue 67 Mustang he yelled, "Mustaaaaaang" (too funny)

11:54 pm

Teach him young! Good job

11:54 pm

11:54 pm

11:56 pm

It will go to my gson when he's older...he'll be the 4th family owner...they're going keep passing it down (should it survive that long)

11:58 pm

Nice car but I didn't care for it. The Camaro was MY car. Walked into the showroom and made a beeline to it. Myfather's voice very faintly saying "no, you can't buy a first year car"

11:58 pm

* giggle *

11:58 pm

Loved that car

11:58 pm

My fave is the 65 Mustang convertible but 67 is cool too

11:59 pm

I like the camero, too...but, well, never had one and this is the closest "classic" version in the family there is, so I guess I should be a little partial :)

11:59 pm

I have no problem with that. It was a nice car, but not me!
