they have been watered and fed! I am done for the night and so are they!

5:35 am

hmz, and an U... you are almost set, except there is no K today.

5:36 am

tudor needs a capital... tuxedo is a phantom...

the U is redundant... and no K!

I have been typing tudor with the hope that enable would change it's mind

5:36 am

I have used the U a lot already though

yes, it is very useable

just a hint... pa5 is an oar, minus the double const in the middle

been looking for that sucker for a while now

5:39 am

ah, thanks! hadn't tried that yet.

haven't seen that word before

and the swedish shower massager is here

5:43 am

the pa is a Scots word. It refers to a lump fish.

7:35 am

and a du6.42

7:36 am

not seeing that one Annie, bbl

7:37 am

peri, soldiers use a du**** bag to carry their belongings...campers too

7:38 am

i have always loved making breakfast.you know us men generally make great breakfasts.it stems from when we were younger and dating you lovely ladies.i was courting the mrs and we were snuggling on e evening and i said to her in such a suave manner.."darling,how do you like your eggs in the morning?" and she said right away.."unfertilized"..so i knew right then i had to try something different and making good breakfast food was it.that way she would stay overnight lol

7:46 am

nothing better than a man who can cook! And breakfast is a great way to start

7:47 am

i do 80% of the cooking here as my beloved has very limited vision

7:47 am

morning, all! I am here only briefly as we are headed out to the Museum of Science and Industry for the day!

7:47 am

howdy sue!

7:47 am

I was blessed with a spouse who cooks, and I praise him daily for it!

7:48 am

hi sue! How are you this morning?

7:48 am

I am great, mama!

7:48 am

haven't seen you since Friday morning - how did things go?

7:48 am

and my partner cooks too - he has celiac disease and wants to make sure everything is gluten free!

7:48 am

ooh, mama!!!!

7:49 am

THEY ARE DROPPING THE CHARGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least after 6 months they will assuming the kid has stayed out of trouble - apparently the girl is known to them to be a total flake

7:50 am

our lawyer was absolutely astonished - he said they NEVER do this. So we are all absolutely thrilled.

7:50 am

YAAAA FOR SUE!!!! YAA SOR SUES SON!!

7:50 am

PTL!! So glad things worked out.

7:50 am

extra babble bonus - you can see a picture of my son in my profile although you have to click on it to see more than his chest :-)

7:50 am

now he must stay away from this poison biatch

7:51 am

taken in the store the night before as I was buying him new clothes that it turned out he didn't need (but now he has one set of nice clothes)

7:51 am

Guess you got your son to tie his shoes and comb his hair! LOL!

7:51 am

he will - we are still going for the order of protection - he will have to see her in the lawyer's office on Wednesday and then in court next month but that's it

7:52 am

lol, yes, he did, mama, pretty funny :-)

7:52 am

crossy evisions sue patting down his sons cowlick lol

7:53 am

believe me, crossy, that's more than a cowlick (and he's not about to let me touch his hair) - sure did that a lot when he was little, though - miss those days sometimes, he had much less complicated problems back then!

7:55 am

anyway, time to get on with my day, just wanted to say hi to all my wonderful babble friends first :-)

7:56 am

you have a great day sue:)

7:56 am

have a wonderful day!

7:57 am

mamabook,do not know if it is happening there,but here they are working on full day kintergarten no more half days

7:59 am

that's wonderful! We already have full day kindergarten. Right now the fight here is for Pre-K funding

7:59 am

In fact, just found out on Friday that our school didn't receive any funding for this year and I'm out a job. :(

8:03 am

:((((

8:03 am

mama, sorry you lost your job...just awful..here in NYC after working for Off Track Betting for 25 years I lost my supplemental health coverage. It's just getting worse and worse.

8:04 am

health coverage....i have not seen that here in years,what the big companies do now is hire on a day minus one year contract,lay you off for a week and then start anew,that way they owe you nothing

8:05 am

some of the smaller places work you a day minus 3 months,fire you and hire you back as well

8:05 am

that is terrible, crossy...isnt there universal health coverage in Canada?

8:06 am

there is,and for that we are thankful

8:06 am

I'm fortunate that my health coverage is through my hubby, or we'd be up a real creek

8:06 am

but no benefits, no dental,eye glasses,or meds

8:06 am

cross- have to wonder how some people sleep at night!

8:07 am

we indeed get on our kness and thank the powers that be for our health care

8:07 am

without my hubby's coverage we'

8:07 am

One of the managers I know just told me the other day that his health coverage for him, wife and daughter will be $14,000. per year and that is w/o a job

8:07 am

it is a mess in the states i know

8:07 am

!!!

8:07 am

we'd be in deep trouble. I take too many meds and the costs would be astronomical

8:08 am

is not obama working on a nation wide health plan?

8:09 am

I thank God for Medicare and they are trying to play with that

8:09 am

He says he is, but he has to get support, and there are too many companies (insurance, pharmacies, doctors, etc) who are fighting against it!

8:10 am

unfortunately, money talks and the people who have it don't need nationwide health care!

8:10 am

why would the dr,s fight it..would be better to get paid for their services right away from the govt,than have to chase down the ins companies all the time

8:10 am

Even if Pres. Obama wins his health insurance plan the earliest it would start is in 2014

8:11 am

well,i hope he gets it set up for you all asap

8:11 am

Yes, it is a mess for the middle class and retirees

8:11 am

it is not perfect by any means,but better than losing your home cause you need a broken hip fixed

8:12 am

Dr's fight it because it would make many of them provide services (birth control, abortion, etc) that they are morally against

8:12 am

There is Medicaid too. Help for people who cannot afford insurance and have low incomes.

8:13 am

and the upper crust are worried about and extra bit of tax i am sure lol

8:13 am

yep, so us middle-men suffer. story of the ages.

8:14 am

Pres. Obama is trying to raise taxes on the very rich and the Republicans are fighting it tooth and nail

8:14 am

it is the view down there of"why should i pay for him"

8:14 am

Why should I pay? Period.

8:14 am

here,we all pay at tax time,cause we know we need it to be there for us and our family

8:15 am

The large oil companies and large corporations get away with tax murder.

8:15 am

it is there for everyone from the richest man in canada,to the street bum that washes windows

8:16 am

and with that, I must leave...bye dear babblers

8:16 am

tc annie

8:16 am

bye Annie - have a great day!

8:17 am

It's the me mentality that kills us! UGH!!

8:17 am

it is indeed mama

8:19 am

i mean a homeless man down there has a cough lets say,and of course no fancy health plan..so he avoids going to the hosp,now 3 weeks later he is coughing blood and finally goes to a free clinic..bingo! he has Tb and has infected 100,s of people while roaming around.now the expense is massive

8:20 am

it is less expensive to get it all treated in a timely manner for everyone

8:20 am

yep! but that's the big picture and so many people cannot see the big picture.

8:21 am

and of course there is the concern for prescription drugs. under a national health plan there would be no coverage. And our pharmacuetical (sp) companies are killing us with the costs

8:22 am

that is a problem,but we get generic drugs when we can and our doctors are generous with free samples of the expensive stuff

8:22 am

would you rather pay 200 for those expensive meds or 30,ooo for that hip surgery?lol

8:23 am

30,000*

8:23 am

fix my hip please under the health pan,and i will work out the meds lol

8:24 am

Oh, but cross, 200 would be cheap! I have one med that is currently over 4000 a month. And I would be homebound without it

8:24 am

many pharmacutical companies will work with you if you write them as well

8:24 am

4000???!!!

8:24 am

we have to get our drug companies under control b4 we would be able to afford it

8:25 am

well,rare or orphan drugs can be a big problem

8:25 am

but then you just get supplimental blue cross coverage

8:25 am

crazy, huh? It's gone up over 300% in the past 4 years!

8:25 am

insane

8:26 am

yes, that is an option. unfortunately, people think that they are entitled to certain things - and it's that "they owe me" way of thinking. Very frustrating

8:28 am

i hope it gets worked out and obama has a plan set to go by 2014

8:30 am

i honestly hope so too. nothing more frustrating than watching a parent home-medicate a child for something that a dr could fix in a matter of minutes.

8:30 am

our thinking with universal coverage is more "we are all in this together" instead of "why should i pay for him"

8:31 am

too many suffer down there,too many lose their homes or their life

8:31 am

if only more people would think that way! But that would mean people caring about one another. and we are way too busy to do that. (dripping with sarcasm)

8:32 am

we still wait a month or 2 to see a specialist,but we get to see them

8:32 am

but i can get same day x-rays or ct scans and that is nice

8:33 am

same day blood work also

8:33 am

hi folks (or, like my father in law, a year and a half to have an aortal aneurism repaired - it's not all peaches and cream)

8:33 am

like i say welki,it is not perfect

8:33 am

but your dad will not lose his home to get it done

8:33 am

your singing to the choir! I am such a supporter, even though it would mean giving up alot of my current benefits. It would be so much better for everyone involved!

8:34 am

assuming that he didn't pass away from it while waiting. (average wait time for a ct scan in alberta is nine weeks)

8:34 am

we have a lot of tweaking to do with it yet

8:35 am

i can get one here same day as long as i have a requisition from my family doc

8:35 am

but i fear it will take more than 2 years for there to be any change. too many people with money putting up road blocks

8:35 am

*thinks everyone should move to ontario* :)

8:35 am

a mri takes longer about 4 weeks

8:36 am

20 weeks here for an mri

8:37 am

and with mri,you have to be ready to take any time slot..it runs 24/7

8:37 am

i once had a mri at 3:45 AM LOL

8:38 am

same with dialisis(sp) have to be ready for any time slot

8:38 am

i had a girl in my class last year that suffered all year long with recurring urinary tract infections while her parents treated her with cranberry juice, water and suppliments because they didn't have insurance and couldn't afford the office fees to see the dr.

8:39 am

it's easy to be angry with the parents, but when it's a choice between putting food on the table and going to the dr., it's a hard place to be.

8:40 am

here, mama, she could see the doctor, but without insurance, probably couldn't afford the prescription (they're not covered by provincial health plans - nor are eyeglasses, dental care....)

8:40 am

VERY interesting blog post on this topic: http://blogs.plos.org/neurotribes/2011 /07/12/an-eye-opening-adventure-in-soc ialized-medicine/

8:41 am

give me a minute and I will get a tiny url for it

8:41 am

Hi..I am back and see the healthcare blog..!!

8:41 am

http://tinyurl.com/6fe65sv

8:41 am

we suppliment our provincial health plan with blue cross(150 per month) and that covers eyes ,teeth and drugs

8:41 am

generic drugs and samples would have covered it. and there are lots of agencies who would have paid for the meds.

8:41 am

our health systems have the potential to be good ones (i wish they were federal, instead of provincial), but folks who cannot afford supplementary insurance are in the same boat here as down in the states. for instance .. an indigent diabetic would not be able to afford testing strips or insulin

8:42 am

sue - thought you were off to a day off fun!

8:42 am

I work in a hospital and wait times are based on the seriousness or nature of the surgery.

8:42 am

having breakfast, mama, almost done but couldn't resist jumping in

8:42 am

here as well maryte,we run a triage style emerg

8:43 am

good quote from the article: One renowned health-care expert who grew up in England recently explained the difference between British and American medicine to me by saying that if he was very rich and had cancer, he would rather live in the U.S. But if he was poor and had cancer, he’d rather live in the U.K. and be guaranteed at least B-minus care.

8:43 am

sue, please post the url again

8:43 am

that is very true sue

8:43 am

I have a friend with lung cancer and no insurance, he is getting no care

8:43 am

yes...cat scan can be done 1/2 after coming into ER on triage... MRI's ect...

8:43 am

i recommend passing out in the sliding doors of emergy as you go in..they see to you quickly especially if the doors cant close because u are blocking them <--- presonal experience here

8:43 am

http://tinyurl.com/6fe65sv

8:44 am

:( without our health plan ,i would not be alive at this time

8:44 am

yes sue - and unfortunately we know all too well that money has power.

8:44 am

and now I really am gone! bbl! have a great day, all!!

8:44 am

hi bye sue

8:44 am

tc sue

8:45 am

... recent US study released last week ... average male life expectancy is 3 years higher in Canada than the US ... for females it's 2.5 years ... ...

8:45 am

tc sue

8:45 am

We have very good health care....everyone has access...people don't realize that if they have to wait, it is because of the less seriousness of their illness.

8:45 am

i am more than happy with our health care here in ont

8:45 am

carlee - that's the way to do it. get their attention. lol

8:45 am

in most cases mary

8:46 am

prjectile vomiting is also good to jump the line carlee

8:46 am

unfortunately..wrt my dad....the wait to see oncologist may have cost him his life...he is seeing one..but was 4 months getting in

8:46 am

then, maryte (and please don't take offence), please explain to me an 18 month wait for an 85 year old man with an aortic aneurism. a ticking time bomb - literally

8:46 am

projectile*

8:46 am

And YES, you can go to another province and get full health care there too. (may have to pay slight charge in Quebec as their pay schedule is different.....

8:47 am

but.in case of dxh....his care was phenomenol

8:47 am

that's not the way it works in bc or alberta, maryte .. there is no reciprocal coverage

8:47 am

its not perfect...but you cannot hold the faults up as an example of why not to go public health care....

8:48 am

indeed carlee,not perfect but not bad

8:48 am

there are faults in every system...and yes..unfortunately....people die because of it..but...you wont go completely bankrupt should you have a baby with serious medical issues...

8:48 am

Are you sure weiki that he is a ticking time bomb? It may be that he needs the repair done but not right away..

8:49 am

as for you da welki,i do not know,maybe there are s shortage of surgeons in your area that do that sort of operation

8:49 am

unfortunately in the states, it isn't about health care and coverage, it's all about politics and money. i wish i could be more optimistic about it happening here, but i really don't think i'll see it in my lifetime

8:49 am

yes,no losing your home cause your baby is sick

8:49 am

true, carlee, but that's hard to explain to your dad, my father in law and other people who've suffered as a result of its inadequacies ... and unrealistic to portray the system as better/worse than other health care systems. they're just different

8:50 am

crossy, he's in victoria

8:50 am

Most of the provinces are on the same page as to reinbursements from another province...Quebec being the exception.... Weiki....have you asked his doctor why and can it be done elsewhere?

8:50 am

my father knows better than to complain..he has spent last 10 years wintering in USA ( snowbird ) and is well awre that at thispoint in his treatment... he would die leaving his wife penniless for his treatments to live 1 year longer

8:50 am

maryte .. he finally had the surgery, but it must have been "serious" - how could it not be? he was told not to bend over or "exert" himself - for a year and a half!

8:51 am

Good morning all

8:51 am

like i say,you may have a shortage of specialists there who do that operation,for example for 5 years we only had a single obgyn for a 100 mile radius

8:51 am

anyway, i don't want to bash our system, but having experienced both us and canadian health care systems, i maintain that they both have their pros and cons

8:52 am

We were in the same boat Crossy.... its the shortage of specialists that create the wait times.

8:52 am

i think if you did an actual pro con list....canda's pros would far outweigh the cons..and vice versa for usa ( assuming for joe average )

8:52 am

indeed

8:52 am

and not richie rich

8:53 am

i have many friends in the states who have lost everything due to illness

8:53 am

ok..so...have decided i am staying in room...babbling...sans clothing. in front of a fan...for the day..feels..simply glorious and as i am alone for the next 48 hours...

8:53 am

paid off home now with 3 mortgages..and the like

8:54 am

lol..neeked carlee

8:54 am

that's another reason that people here are scared of national health care. there is a huge campaign (don't know exactly who is behind it) that is promoting that all of the specialists will close up shop and move to other areas, so you won't be able to find a dr to treat you

8:54 am

i don't know anyone who's lost everything, crossy .. and i've only been in canada for 15 years

8:54 am

and its already...84 with humidity of 64%

8:54 am

no,i mean in the states welki

8:54 am

and i dont have a/c

8:54 am

nasty hot day carlee

8:54 am

We have family in Connecticut that lost their home because of renal disease....

8:54 am

i do know folks in canada who've had to have fund raisers here in canada to offset medical expenses, though

8:55 am

it happens

8:55 am

(yes, i understood that, crossy . .i don't know one person, family, friend or business relation, who's lost everything in the states)

8:55 am

The fundraising is for the family to take time off work and be with their loved one

8:55 am

then you admit it happens here, too?

8:55 am

well i do my dear

8:55 am

fund raisers are an every day thing here in the us - to pay for medical expenses for those without any medical insurance

8:56 am

no, it's to pay the bills

8:56 am

that is scare tactic by ins companies.... if u have a national health care system...where are they goign to practice...every country has own strict regulations about who can practise where dependent upon the school/ country you practised in

8:56 am

they going to come to canada..and practise with same system?

8:56 am

it can happen here welki,like i said,it is far from perfect

8:56 am

then it's pretty much the same .. and given the population differences, i'd bet that the percentages of people who suffer severe financial hardship in both countries is probably pretty close

8:57 am

if they flood the mexican market..welll they cant be paid there either....no one has the money but for the drug lords

8:57 am

I have a second cousin in New Haven Conn. that had to sell their home because he needed dialysis for kidney failure.

8:57 am

indeed maryte

8:57 am

... of course it does ... but check the health care for the average person ... infant and maternal mortality rates in the us are almost triple what they are in canada ... why? ... average person can't pay for an obygn ... it's great it your employer is providing insurance coverage ... but what do the other two thirds of the population do? ...

8:58 am

and a family here in calgary who had to go public with requests for donations to pay for their little boy's eye surgery - in the states.

8:58 am

Weiki...what did these people here in Canada have to pay for???

8:58 am

what blows me away is that the hospitals/doctors set prices. then they make deals with insurance companies to discount those prices, sometimes by as much as half, but the uninsured person who has no means of help will be expected to pay the full price! It's ridiculous!

8:58 am

i have a friend in PA who went broke bying injections for his immune system when cancer treatments killed off all his white blood cells

8:59 am

we had the same cancer at the same time and were comparing

8:59 am

are the numbers averages, dos? because you have to figure in the big population differences

8:59 am

... they're rates ... don't depend on population size ...

8:59 am

all i'm saying is that people suffer financially without supplemental insurance, regardless of whether they're in the states or canada

9:00 am

there are just so many groups - insurance, drug companies, doctors/hospitals, etc - who all have their own agenda.

9:00 am

there are certain times when this happens here as well welki,your point is taken

9:00 am

Weiki....what exactly did they have to pay for?? I'm confused...

9:01 am

... health care is especially great on a world standard if you can pay for it in the us ... but fewer and fewer can pay ... ... and I've heard of HMO's sending patients to India for surgery because it's cheaper for them to send covered patients to Asia than to have the surgery in the States ..

9:01 am

in the little kid's case, they had to personally fund the whole magillah because the surgery was only available in the states.

9:01 am

oh my, just realized the time. have to get kiddos up and ready for church. thanks for the thought provoking chat!

9:02 am

... now Indian medical training is as good as anywhere in the world ... but it's a long way to go ... and you don't get many family members visiting ...

9:02 am

hope you all have a healthy and happy day!!

9:02 am

like the man in the u,k said..if i have the buck treat me in the states,but if not get me to a country with a health plan

9:02 am

tc mama

9:02 am

in other cases, maryte, it's a matter of people getting the dianoses just fine, but not being able to afford treatment ... like insulin

9:02 am

If the surgery can only be done in the states....It is fully covered by provincial healthcare

9:03 am

great chat everyone but must do some cooking..bbl..poink!

9:03 am

then maybe we all were taken, maryte

9:04 am

I would look into that....we send our gastro-bypass surgs to Michigan because we don't do them here....it is fully covered....

9:05 am

it may be that ontario has a superior system, compared to other provinces

9:05 am

(maybe another reason the system should be federalized)

9:06 am

That is the only surgery we send out...The provinces are basically the same...(except Quebec) ...I do this as part of my job....

9:06 am

You can use your health card in another province.....

9:07 am

... not when it comes to funding chemo treatment ... I had to use up my entire severence to pay for oxalyplatin which is fully funded in BC but is too new for Ontario ... and there is a woman who has managed to cause a big political stink over funding a new treatment for pancreatic cancer that again has been fully covered in BC for several years ..

9:07 am

Anyhoooo.....how is the fishing??? It is too hot to fish here right now.... we are melting here!!!

9:08 am

... the numbers are about four years old but BC and Alberta were funding 20 of 24 of the newest chemo treatments ... Ontario was funding 4

9:09 am

coffepot emergency brb

9:10 am

Medications are different.....they are covered by whatever health plan you have......

9:11 am

We bill people who do not have health coverage and it is not pretty.....And our medications are cheaper in Canada to boot....Americans buy from us ..

9:12 am

Dos.... do you think you would have done better if you lived in the US?

9:14 am

... would never have been able to pay for it ... I got laid off after my first surgery ... if I had thus lost insurance coverage ... I never would have been able to pay for the second more serious round of treatments ... ... ... as has been said ... if I had the insurance coverage ... yeah I probably would have had superior treatment ... but fewer and fewer people get that coverage

9:15 am

It's hard Dos.....disease has no winners....

9:16 am

... for example ... half way through the chemo I became seriously anemic ... I was getting daily shots to stimulate white blood cells ... at $4000 a week ... and a bi-weekly shot for red cells ... at $1500 each ... ... OHIP or whatever we call it now covered it ... the doctor just gave me the shots ... if I'd had to pay ... I would have had to tough it out

9:19 am

Our system is not perfect but for 'everyday' type health care it is there. The more serious and complicated cases are just that....

Hi.

9:20 am

Hey!

how goes it

9:20 am

This is a nice grid :0)

9:21 am

i had the same shots dose..4000 a week times 12 weeks

9:22 am

my seminoma killed my white cells

Can I say if people didn't vote and or voted for those against health care they should just zip it

9:23 am

help with du6 pls

9:23 am

... yeah ... sounds about right ... and sticking yourself with that needle every morning when you get up ... and then getting in the car and driving for an hour to go to class ... I'll not do that again ... thank you ...

9:23 am

NM :)

9:24 am

were you getting cisplatin chemo dose?

9:25 am

... oxalyplatin, leucovorin and 5-flourourcil

9:25 am

... then two somethings for anemia ...

9:26 am

lool,nice:( i had the cisplatin,anemia and anti-nausea meds..was puking all the time..lost over 80 pounds

9:27 am

... worked great ... never really experienced sickness ... ... took antinauseants before the treatment but not between treatments ... ...

9:27 am

even got 2 or 3 transfusions as i recall

9:28 am

you are lucky,i had to sign a waiver everyttime i got blood products

9:28 am

... yeah ... lost forty pounds ... but had forty pounds to lose ... ... I had a lot to be thankful for ... I got to watch a lot of people ... and several quite young people ... suffer a whole heaping lot more than me ...

9:29 am

indeed dose,when i was at princess margerettes,i saw stuff that still haunts me..my cancers were nothing compared to some poor souls

9:29 am

was hardest watching the kids

9:31 am

... yeah ... 25 year old finished her treatment same day as me ... she was having surgery over Christmas ... I cam in for a checkup at the end of January ... she had died on the table ... I cried ...

9:31 am

was one little girl abou 6,no hair getting her treatments,too thin and she was telling me that when all her treatments were done,she was going to get her own pony..found out later from her mom that she has brain cancer and would probably never leave the hospital;9

That is horrible Cross. Seriously the fates need a kick in the ass some times

Oh man...you two have been through some dire stuff... makes my cancer seem like the sniffles by comparison. I wish you both continued remission!!

9:33 am

hello all :)

9:33 am

mine is nothing diane,seminoma,lymphnoma,and a dash of melinoma..now i am healthy again and pleasantly plump:))

9:34 am

there is lots of crossy to love once ahain lol

9:34 am

... thanks diane ... but don't underrate what you went through ... as tough as being sick can be ... it's the psychological battles that go with the word "cancer" that are far tougher ...

9:35 am

minds set is half the battle

9:35 am

... far more than half ...

HI Sadie

9:36 am

when i lost all my hair,i got a whole pile of those head bandana,s that the bikers like to wear lol and used to write funny things on my bald head lol

In Edmonton, our young cancer patients are treated in a separate hospital ( Stollery Childrens' Center ) ...everyone else at the Cross Cancer Clinic.... I didn't see the little ones,... but their attitudes can teach us some things ... I used to visit at the Cross years ago, and these little ones , although sad to see, put a proper perspective on things sometimes.

9:36 am

it does make one reorinize their priorities diane

9:36 am

reorginize*

I agree.... WAY more than half !

LOL... I wore "do-rags" too.... bought a nice wig... could NOT stand it !

9:38 am

hello everyone, I've lost lickety does anyone know who I can get it back?

10:00 am

"Lost Lickety?" you mean the link doesn't work, or you've lost your words in the list?

10:00 am

I've lost the download - for some reason it stopped working a while ago and I'm really missing it

10:03 am

Do you mean Babble Expert? Here is a link to that: http://r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.zi p.

10:04 am

ty molly

10:05 am

it worked!!!! ty so much I haven't finished a gird since I lost it

10:06 am

Oh good, glad to help.

Mine Babble Expert just suddenly quit working too, about 2 weeks ago... I do have that link but it just keeps coming up Error 404 - Page not found

I just copied and pasted link again, and same message :-((

10:16 am

That's odd because that is not a link to a site, it's a link to a download.

when I paste what you just posted, that's what comes up. I even went to Jillibus' profile and copied and pasted from there ( it's the same as you posted )

I'm okay with just "lickety's babble clues", but it was nice when they got put in order, without refreshing the list .... lazy huh ??

be back later... time to make breakfast for grandson !

did not know, pa 5.14 = a hoe, amazing what you learn in Babble

11:12 am

(if you ever can use it), lol

I do look up the weird ones... or ones I don't know... NOW if I could only remember them !

11:13 am

know what you mean.. over time, a few of them have "stuck", so I can recognize them even if I don't remember what they mean

I also still try to "force" in words from old crossword puzzle days.... e.g. odas

11:15 am

for example, I have looked up sc 6.39 in the past.. made me laugh

11:15 am

bc I try to play at golf

LOL.... was just going to say that I do that when golfing !

I call it a turf ball :-)

11:17 am

.. LOL

sort of watching the British Open... then back to play a few words.... miserable and erratic weather there at the moment.

11:20 am

well, I just finished so I'll go check it out.. explains why the chat room is so quiet.. (-: fun, fast grid today.. ciao for now

bye bye

11:23 am

I live a couple of miles from where the Open is being played and I can tell you the weather is just as evil as they are telling you!!

On again, off again with the rain suits.... lol

I love this chat where people are from all over the world... first hand weather report from Deeha :-))

11:25 am

I am always amazed at the difference between our courses and the wonderful green sculptured American courses

sun... rain squalls... wind... sun...

11:26 am

Thats British weather the whole gamut in ten minutes!

I just said that very thing to my hubby a few minutes ago... It's just the way they are... based on soil, climate, natural growth and weather conditions. St Andrews is so very ruggedly beautiful though.

11:27 am

ex6?

I must look up Sandwich.... not sure of its proximity to the ocean.

11:28 am

Blackmail 2Bit

sorry dan... don't have the 6

Next to Sandwich is a village called Ham - so there are actually signs that say Ham Sandwich

Thanks Molly !

it's o'dark early there, isn't it MRP?

11:50 am

Saw you have insomnia on fb prezzie

11:51 am

I

11:51 am

yep, sure do! worked my ass off (literally) this weekend.... to much lactose in the muscles and adrenalin in the brain!

11:51 am

crap, sorry...I'm struggling with that, too. Been getting to sleep around 4 am on average.

11:51 am

tis ok though... can have a nap in the arvo

11:52 am

argh, that's about the time i'm waking to get the day started

11:52 am

oh krista!! what a biyatchie things!!

11:53 am

Seems I can either go to sleep or stay asleep, but never both on the same night, you know?

11:53 am

I found out that menopause causes insomnia, bone issues.... feel like i am going through it, but am not

11:54 am

dawg, that is revolting!! that is a nasty early start... in my humble opinion anyway!! you must have a full day darling!!

11:54 am

Yeppers...I'm pretty sure I'm in the peri-m phase. Are you naturally a lark, dawg, or does work demand it?

11:55 am

Early starts are for work days only

11:55 am

just usually have to be up that early to get ready for work. a lay in would be able to sleep til 6am

11:55 am

yikes

11:57 am

I wouldn't mind getting up early if I could have an afternoon nap every day. I wish we would do siestas here.

11:57 am

Hello all. so glad to see friends i've missed recently!

11:58 am

i have to try to fight off the naps, then i really wouldn't sleep well at night.

11:58 am

good morning, Stidgmere!

11:58 am

Hello Stidgemere!

12:00 pm

Well, thank you nutty. Age does have priviledges.

12:01 pm

Huh?

12:01 pm

I need to voice myself

12:01 pm

Hmm, not sure Mr. P...sounds ominous, lol

12:01 pm

Ah...please do.

12:01 pm

Oh goody, I love mrp opinns

12:02 pm

Hi Mr.Pres. just saying to stidmama recently I hadn't seen you and she said to just be patient. So I patiently waited and voila.

12:03 pm

Congrats dawger!!

12:03 pm

**can hear Mr. P typing away**

12:03 pm

lickety snores like an old warhorse... I am asleep and then I am awake... I swear... I get 5 minutes sleep and then wake up... ask him to turn over/ stop snoring/ breath normal... then 5 minutes later... snoring!!

12:03 pm

you could be in peri-meno mr p with no signs on tests

12:03 pm

it goes all night.

12:04 pm

oh.. never mind..lol

12:04 pm

he is 15kg overweight and if he would just lose the weight, he wouldn't have snoring/sleep apnea issues

12:04 pm

Well, hubby and I both have sleep apnea and have been sleeping separately for years now. It's the only way for us. My sympathies!

12:04 pm

Prezzie, that's why I advocate separate bedrooms for couple. I think it is a big contributed to divorce statistics.

12:04 pm

Patrick lost weight and doesn't snore now, but he still kicks all night.

12:05 pm

mrs ru snores. I often sleep in the other room

12:06 pm

Great ru, you?

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

Prezzie, better today!

12:08 pm

pa5 is an oar without the double const in the middle

12:08 pm

oh good sweetie!!

12:08 pm

ty Mr P

12:08 pm

it's been a lovely summer so far and I've been doing a lot of stuff outside.. it's nice for a change.

12:09 pm

I just want to sleep! I need to sleep!! If I don't get a good sleep every few nights, I am totally deranged!!

12:10 pm

belated *** hi ruuster!! ***

12:10 pm

Me too! I feel near-psychotic when I don't sleep for several nights. If it's just one or two, just realllly grouchy.

12:10 pm

you should try sleeping in a different room mr p.. especially if you have a big day the next day. I understand.. mrs ru sounds like a train coming through the tunnel most nights

12:11 pm

It's really nice to see you pop in nutty.. by the way

12:11 pm

Must go and do some tidying up for hubby's birthday party tomorrow. So many summer birthdays! Nice seeing all of you.

1:49 pm

1:49 pm

i will grab some at the market. who makes it , Boylans?

1:49 pm

you want 80,s and early 90,s tv series?

1:50 pm

for the 80,s in the heat of the night was excellent series

1:51 pm

i am going thru the streaming list, i have already seen most us programming( as i am so freakin old) so i am watching brit , canadian aus etc

1:51 pm

carrol o,conner and his now deceased son play in that

1:51 pm

you're right crossy, that was a great show,

1:52 pm

very good ,won a few awards as i recall

1:53 pm

i do not watch much television,but when i do,it has to be the very best.crossy does not waste his time watching crapola lol

1:54 pm

it is very interesting to watch the difference in programming, Americans are more prudish, but very violent. brits are more explicit, but much less violent , fewer guns.

1:54 pm

I usually "watch them while i am cooking or cleaning the kitchen so i don't have to give them my full attention

1:55 pm

and the camera usage changes bethnwatch tghe was us prgrams pan away from who is talking and watch the britt and canadian camera shots,very different

1:56 pm

damn typos

1:56 pm

cl for sc pls?

1:56 pm

it always amazes me to watch brit cops wth a criminal. I always think he (the cop) would be bleeding if that was in the usa

1:56 pm

best camera work in my opinion is csi miami....amazing camera work

1:57 pm

i love the light filtering on that one crossy. it is like watching evil incarnate in paradise, every shot is so magnificent, then you contrast it with the crime... it is such a stark division

1:58 pm

i have to give credit where it is due,the camera work and direction are high end

1:58 pm

and cl for pa5/12

1:58 pm

sorry girly,still looking for those myself

1:59 pm

i can remenber when they first started using cameras that were not just stationery on the speaker- it was a cop show - so many complaints, it made us all dizzy trying to focus on the actors not the movement, now it is second nature

1:59 pm

got the pa if u want clue

1:59 pm

1:59 pm

those are called steady cams lol.took me a bit back in the day as well

2:00 pm

2:42 pm

Glad you guys are having fun with it. Facebook is really not my cup of tea. I only joined so that I can see pictures that family members post. Seems that since the dawn of Facebook, people don't email photos anymore. The only internet game I play is this one.

2:42 pm

diving into this grid a bit ...sploosh!

2:43 pm

And I barely have time for Babble most days. : )

2:50 pm

hey cross... *distracted mama look*

2:51 pm

hm... NBT.

2:55 pm

I don't think the announcers are watching the same game... they get excited when it's clear nothing is happening. And say shots were "perfect" when they clearly weren't -- a perfect shot implies a goal, n' est ce pas?

2:57 pm

corner kick USA... *holds breath*

2:57 pm

not even close.

2:58 pm

lol,soccor bores me to tears..too many years of watching blood spurt and bones break on hockey night in canada i suppose lol

2:58 pm

2:59 pm

soccer

2:59 pm

fottie..

2:59 pm

whatever lol

2:59 pm

footie*

2:59 pm

I don't care for hockey at all. Too brutal.

2:59 pm

I like curling...

3:00 pm

I like football/soccer (rubgy and American football don't interest me much), and I like non-major-league baseball.

3:00 pm

hehe thats like watching british darts...20!...20!..and why we wait for the next throw i can tell you that the leader,clarence pettibuttle the third lives in sheephead mews and collects tea cosys and sheep droppings...lol

3:00 pm

3:36 pm

anyway crossy..( or anyone else...) they have the money behind them to spend on decent reporters..and english jsut won an international news award for its coverage this year ... and they dont have a corporation standing over them dictating what gets covered the same us news does....most of it is international news...( international beyond middle east )

3:38 pm

interesting,i am always looking for a good unbiased report on the world news,many love cnn but i dislike the 20 point type foaming at the mouth reporting from 200 different angles setup they use

3:39 pm

right now coveringin an indepth story about fish ladders with the US dams...

3:39 pm

when it is back up and running for internet news i recommend www.newsmap.jp

3:39 pm

( just turned it on )

3:40 pm

http://english.aljazeera.net/watch%5Fn ow/

3:40 pm

newsmap is a good place to pinpoint a particular story fast

3:41 pm

( ok...is about cheap power..not fishing...)

3:41 pm

ahh,we have several fish ladders near here because of the salmon runs

3:41 pm

there's a "funny" sc word....

3:42 pm

good clue m9:))

3:42 pm

:)

3:43 pm

they trap and truck salmon to drive them around damns

3:44 pm

salmon chauffeurs?

3:44 pm

we do not need to truck ours,we just move them above the dams and let them swim on their way

hi all

3:44 pm

3:51 pm

aw come on now speak english will ya?;)

4:00 pm

4:00 pm

110 F rth

4:00 pm

well over 100f i think..we are not used to this

4:00 pm

and carlee does nto have a/c

yes 110 is not even a number I ever saw in Africa. Highest we ever saw was about 106, we did not have AC there either.

4:01 pm

and here we're chilly and cloudy -- temp 64F (18C) -- no sun in sight for over a week and more of the same predicted.

4:01 pm

oooh carlee..

4:01 pm

crossy does not have a/c

4:01 pm

i have a lovely fan

4:02 pm

we have multiple AC units

4:02 pm

i have 4 lovely fans;))

4:02 pm

will have a cool bath before bed,,,,

WOW please be careful

today we are at 32 C or about 91 F. perfect. for summer. And I do have Central air.

4:02 pm

we've had about 3 days over 70F this year. It's depressing.

4:02 pm

hi JILLI!

no fans.

4:02 pm

Hi all!

well, Ceiling fans.

Hello Jilli!!!!

4:03 pm

hi jilli

4:03 pm

carlee and i are taking care indeed,too hot for us to be going crazy and getting heat stroke outside

4:03 pm

it's been a cool summer here.. maybe the grapes won't get ripe

4:03 pm

i think i need to figure out a good crock pot recipe for tomorrow...too hot to cook

4:03 pm

carlee -- sounds like salad days...

4:03 pm

yeap...lying here babbling naked infront of a fan..windows closed...curtains drawn..until later...

4:04 pm

People need to take high temperatures seriously. Heat exhaustion can creep up on you.

Yes, deffo a salad day. with maybe a bit of grilled chicken and grilled peaches.

4:04 pm

carlee i made an amazing crock pot roast other day,used those clubhouse spice pouches at the store

4:04 pm

i dont have a bbq here..is still at old house...

well dont turn on the oven!

4:04 pm

I don't have a crock pot -- not much point for one person.

i am so worried because of the hctz, red what if i just skip it on day of outdoor event? also i am positively FRYING in the sun from it

4:04 pm

Naked Babbling?

4:04 pm

i am thinking....a ground beef soup..or chicken...

4:05 pm

I agree with the salad folks. Hot food on a hot day does not appeal to me.

4:05 pm

how bout chicken and dumplings?

4:05 pm

no a/c and its 110 F

THey make em small now Jilli, I love to make chili in mine, as well as this great recipe asian crockpot chicken, it isnt asian, but its good.

oh as if that is something new? ;)

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

4:07 pm

As are we all TO.

No kidding....So many times when I check in quick,

4:07 pm

My problem Carlee with naked anything is that the UPS man always comes...

4:07 pm

talk about overnight service red.. sheesh

4:07 pm

its sunday.....no UPS...

well i for one can tell you naked irongin is a very bad idea.

4:08 pm

Red, I have friends who drive for UPS and you should hear the stories they tell.

true true. if not UPS, it will be something else...

4:08 pm

so is cooking my favortie breakfast food..do that neeked and all hell breaks loose:)

Molly, I can imagine! I am always being woke up for UPS, and standing there in my dressing gown.

4:08 pm

too bad Nancy Boy can't be part of our naked discussion... he would have LOVED it!

4:08 pm

its called i have a robe hangingon the back of my door...

4:09 pm

hot bacon grease on genetalia sounds painful crossie

4:09 pm

Too true Stid, too true.

so who all has seen Harry Potter yet?

4:09 pm

yes...nancy would have

4:09 pm

it is...:(

4:09 pm

<---raising hand...wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!1

4:09 pm

saw it friday night...3d

4:09 pm

I haven't seen Harry Potter yet, naked or otherwise.

4:09 pm

Can you see the Harry Potter movie without seeing the first one?

i ave never seen a harry potter movie nor read a harry potter book. so if he really dies pls don't tell me ok?

I am going to try to go on Monday or Tuesday...I think though I am going to avoid the 3D.

4:10 pm

i was clothed..thanks...

4:10 pm

its good.....

4:10 pm

i didnt jump once....

4:10 pm

was my mum's first 3d movie..she loved it

TO, I think you might be missing out a little. Harry Potter is good fun.

4:10 pm

Molly (to Harry Potter):; are you happy to see me or is that a wand in your pocket

4:11 pm

Bah-dum-ching!

lol molly, if you had seen equus on broadway you would have. seen harry potter naked, not seen harry potter, naked. proper use of punctuation is key.

4:11 pm

??

Oh My!

he played the lead in equus with nude scene

this is true. I recall that from one of the tv interviews.

4:13 pm

I have not seen Harry Potter naked. I have not seen Harry Potter while I was naked. : P

4:13 pm

i saw him in london.... brilliant performance

ooh wait i got that backards, so much for my retention of grammar.

Hello Rollin! How pleasant to see you!

hey,ro!

4:13 pm

hey red..*s*

4:13 pm

hey rolin!

4:13 pm

Hey TO ln

4:13 pm

The subject matter of Equus disturbs me.

4:13 pm

hi rolin...

4:13 pm

hey stid... congrats on getting your degree

just the one to instruct on proper use of commas!

4:14 pm

what is Equus about ?

4:14 pm

I think if one hasn't watched the previous movies, the final movie -- or pair of movies won't make much sense. To make the movies, they changed a lot from the books, even.

4:14 pm

hey carlee... molly...its sposed to disturb

4:14 pm

thanks rolin.

4:14 pm

I think it's about a horse, ruru?

4:14 pm

Ru, it's about a guy who has a sexual fascination with horses.

4:15 pm

oh

4:15 pm

and confuses horse/ sex and god

4:15 pm

you should read the play ru...

4:15 pm

okay, third overtime starting. back soonish. *poof*

4:15 pm

but is treated more like a detective story as to the WHY

4:15 pm

kind of an x-rated mr. ed?

4:16 pm

third overtime? holy hannah

4:16 pm

Exactly Ru

4:16 pm

oooh ru....no.no.no...

4:16 pm

A horse is a horse, unless of course...

4:16 pm

talk about bareback riding...jeez

4:16 pm

it's sudden death I think carlee -- free kicks

what channel in us pls?

4:17 pm

japan gets one. not sudden death, but total kicks in. *sigh*

4:17 pm

ESPN

4:17 pm

I would think that when a horse says "neigh" it means no.

4:17 pm

It's really dark Ru. The kid can't handle is sexual deviation for horses, so he goes around gouging their eyes out.

ty..sitd you graudated?!

4:17 pm

US just muffed a kick totally.... *heavy sigh*

4:17 pm

yes TO, last month

4:17 pm

oh.. I wouldn't like that at all Molly.. I hate anything with animal abuse

4:18 pm

Solo blocked one from Japan...

i did not know! CONGRATS!

4:18 pm

thanks TO!

4:18 pm

Japan blocked... three kicks each, Japan has one US has zero. *holding breath now*

4:19 pm

hello all

4:19 pm

only two kicks left

4:19 pm

m9 are you here?

4:19 pm

two kicks each...

4:19 pm

hey peri

4:19 pm

4:19 pm

oh. Japan got another...

4:19 pm

4:19 pm

4:19 pm

US scores one...

4:20 pm

who had a big pic?

4:20 pm

has*

4:20 pm

one kick each...

4:20 pm

I think Rolin's icon is over sized.

4:20 pm

JAPAN WINS!!!!!

woking fine for me

4:21 pm

oh dear

4:21 pm

I just checked -- it's rolin (or was...)

4:22 pm

4:26 pm

Just don't fry your bits while you're frying the pita bits.

4:26 pm

okay, tired of people talking about the disappointment of the US team -- they missed some opportunities, but at least the coach is putting a positive spin on it. And it's such a good thing for Japan to have won. Why be bitter?

4:26 pm

well I think we have established that carlee doesn't cook nekkid.

8:22 pm

hey, seain :-)

8:22 pm

hi, une and crossy!

hi Uneaixoise. I think I added you on OMGPOP? I was told who the other Babblers there are. want good, challenging opponents to play Letterblox with!

8:22 pm

howdy, sue :-)

8:22 pm

hot here too, of course...

I scare too many people off on there. They leave my tables.

8:23 pm

yeah, a problem many a babbler has over there, neil

any time, Seain. when are we playing?

8:23 pm

haven't played in a while, neil -- will check it out again soon :-)

8:23 pm

So what exactly is OMGPopper??

groovy, Une! :)

8:24 pm

OMGPOP

Play me in Letterblox: http://omgpop.com/i/letterblox/ucgrf_6 vz38

8:24 pm

flask OMPPop is a gaming site with a game called Letterblox that many of us like.

8:24 pm

Oh, I HATE mosquitoes and their bites!They have not been very bad here yet this summer(knock on wood).

http://omgpop.com/i/letterblox/ucgrf_6 vz38

Yes! it's a game where you see a row of letter tiles and have to type in as many words as you can see, as fast as you can.

oh, I imagine I'll be around at some point tomorrow, Seain. Have things to do during the day but intermittently.

8:25 pm

min, earlier in the summer our mosquitoes were so bad that we RAN out of the arboretum, surrounded by clouds of them

8:26 pm

it's been dry for weeks now, though, so they are not as bad

that's horrendously bad, uusue!

8:27 pm

mosquitos here are very localized, depending on where has has a lot of storms

8:28 pm

And where they treat the standing water Seain. They quit treating the creek behind my place years ago and we have a real mosquito problem because of that.

8:29 pm

and standing water and cedar groves are prime areas of mosquitos

8:29 pm

they stopped treating most areas here back in the 80s for health and environmental reasons

8:29 pm

it was so wet here earlier there were mozzies just EVERYWHERe

8:29 pm

not so bad now except it is freaking hot

8:30 pm

countdown begins -- only 30 mins. till new season of Breaking Bad -- CAN'T WAIT!!!

8:31 pm

Did you hear about the very sad story about a dog in California who died of bee stings? So sad! A family left the dog playing happily in the backyard as they went to church.They came back and found the dog lying in backyard covered in bee stings. It died soon after it was found.

8:31 pm

i was disappointed that the US Womens Soccer lost to Japan in the finals, though they played well overall

8:31 pm

I notice that stfu is in the grid - not a message, just saying :-)

8:31 pm

hi dcs~! :))

just watching your news... nasty heat and humidity is melting people!

watch out for heat stroke... drink plenty of water

8:45 pm

the humidity is really bad

jmc messaged me about the court result... am totally happy!! knew a sensible judge would see the rubbish and sort it.

8:45 pm

we are all SO relieved, mrp!!

8:46 pm

sue, I didn't hear how court went, but sounds like it went very well.

i bet!! did the little mole get arrested?

hi sue. how was the arboretum?

8:47 pm

the DA asked for a 6-month continuance, doxy, after which they will dismiss the charges - our lawyer was astounded as they NEVER dismiss charges here

8:47 pm

GE, we went to the arboretum yesterday and it was really nice

8:48 pm

that is great sue.

8:48 pm

today we went to the museum of science and industry and it was also really nice (and air conditioned!!!)

8:48 pm

today we went to the museum of science and industry and it was also really nice (and air conditioned!!!)

8:49 pm

(sorry for double post, am having internet issues here - probably my router has heatstroke)

we were at the blackhawks convention at the chicago hilton

8:50 pm

invite link is expired, Neil

I can't believe that woman was released!! poor caycee... no justice

8:51 pm

8:53 pm

8:56 pm

yay, doxy!!!!

sorry, phone brb

what was that?? spam ?

the neil post??

9:00 pm

no, not spam, babbler who also likes to play Letterblox on OMGPop, who wants to play with other babblers

ah!! that is good game??

usue, it is great!! I remember my court case that was totally dropped, and my lawyer said the same thing! He had NEVER had a case like mine that was Section 10'ed.

9:04 pm

it is fun, mrp, yes

9:04 pm

we are all just SO relieved, mrp!!!!

9:04 pm

the girl was arrested for alcohol possession as a minor but so far that is all

9:05 pm

we are also still pursuing the order of protection against her

good. you could ask for her to be arrested for assault and batterry??

9:08 pm

maybe although it is probably not worth it (no witnesses)

9:08 pm

maybe although it is probably not worth it (no witnesses)

9:08 pm

and as long as she stays away in the future probably no point

the photo evidence is all you need, and your son's statement

the law needs to 'help' this troubled young woman... it is worth persuing to help her in the long run IMHO

9:10 pm

well, we'll see. she is giving a deposition to our lawyer on Wednesday (for the OP) and my son has to be there - I want to be there too - and then we will see what he says

9:10 pm

my son did swear out a complaint against her with the police, both for when she smashed his door and for the fight - so it is up to them now I think

9:15 pm

fireworks!!!!!!!!!!

9:15 pm

last word was tu5/22

congrats sue!

9:18 pm

how would they "help" her mr p

9:21 pm

I don't think they would, ruru - she needs help but jail is not the place to get it

9:21 pm

a clue please for lo5/10?

9:21 pm

she sounds extremely unstable to me..

9:21 pm

lo + double cons +vowell

9:21 pm

lo 5/10: I hope to win the lo***ry someday Flask1 & hi!

9:21 pm

lo5/10 = Ms. Lenya

9:22 pm

or a game of chance with a different final consonant

9:22 pm

thanx Minver!!

9:26 pm

wants to know Minver when she wins the lottery

9:26 pm

yw

gaols here have rehabilitation units for young offenders

i believe in the 'help' of the justice system here, but not sure how your system works over there

9:27 pm

I think she needs big time counseling for agression

congrats to the finishers!

9:27 pm

it doesn't work over here mr p.. no matter how much money they throw at it

9:28 pm

If I ever do win it, then I can quit my job & Babble all day long! However, I'd probably work anyway since I am a workaholic and can't imagine NOT working ever.

in other words, they are incarcerated and made to have therapy.

well ruru, 85% of the world's prison population is in the USA... not surprising huh?

9:30 pm

yeah and that's just congress

9:32 pm

last 2 words please. both are la 5/12 and the la6/21

9:32 pm

la5 on a jacket

9:32 pm

have that

9:32 pm

la 5 for soup

9:33 pm

la6 is a plural

usue et al, did you hear about my stalker on the weekend?? he is such an arrogant idiot and this latest stupidity will go against him in court in September

watching the incredible hulk movie on TV and love how when the bad guy "hulk" gets big he loses his clothes AND his boy parts, while Bruce Banner keeps his pants on.

9:52 pm

Japan won, ruru!

9:52 pm

during the "penalty kick" overtime thingy

9:52 pm

oh.. nice run.. good for Japan

9:52 pm

9:54 pm

indeed, that is how I felt, ruru and they played a strong, amazing game, too!

10:19 pm

more like text twist

10:19 pm

brb phone

10:20 pm

I feel a little bit sorry for his kid, mrp, sounds like he is too little to really know what is up

10:20 pm

i had to take a darn valium during the whole 20 minute drama!

10:20 pm

his son knows exactly what is happening!

10:21 pm

little Christian is no angel, believe me!

10:21 pm

starting out with a few strikes against him, sounds like

10:21 pm

his eldest son is a complete sweetheart, Bryce, but I wouldn't turn my back on Christian... he is just like his father

10:22 pm

my son's gf has similar issues, really bad parents and now she is a mess

sorry to hear about your stalking prick, mrp. what a super prick, and how nice of him to demonstrate to his kid how to be a prick (sarcasm!)

10:23 pm

thanks gwen! indeed! apple doesn't fall far from that fatass tree!

10:23 pm

right, what gwen said was what I meant - kid doesn't have a chance :-(

10:24 pm

sending you good thoughts mrp

10:24 pm

i found out that he didn't sell his business... darn it! (I wanted to sue him for all he got, but he is broke)... but his business is being taken over, no goodwill $$, nothing.

10:24 pm

thanks luwanda!

10:24 pm

his plan to burn it to the ground was put out when I told the police what I believed he was planning to do.

10:25 pm

and then try and pin it on me and get the insurance money

10:25 pm

they warned him... big time!!

10:25 pm

jeez, mrp, what a loser!!!!

10:25 pm

Play me in Letterblox: http://omgpop.com/i/letterblox/wh5vd_6 vz38

sounds like the plot of a fictional crime drama . . . and OMG what a prick x 2

10:25 pm

so now, he hates me even more!! and after the weekend's events, he will be furious

10:26 pm

he would have been so pissed at me, cause I had all the power, he HAD to do what I said... far out... watching my back even more now.

10:27 pm

sc6/39?

sc + the sound you make when something is funny (spelled wrong)

Hi

hi herin

Howdy

10:49 pm

ok, so who's playing us on letterblox?

Not I

feather, you are not happy with boggle, hmmm? lol

10:49 pm

Hi all. (Can't sleep!) Our school summer hol is 22nd July - 8th September, but stepdaughter has been home one study leave for weeks now, with the odd foray out to school to take exams. She's written 'Back to school :-{' on the family calendar on 8th Sept. I've added 'Heh! Peace at last!:-) LOL'. She hasn't seen that yet, since she's on hol in Wales with her Mum and her Gran.

I am not a fan of Holiday time.

10:51 pm

love letterblox, but neil is kicking my butt!

10:51 pm

my darling daughter is now stomping around the house all upset cause I won't take her out NOW to get what she needs for school, although she only told me about it 20 minutes ago.... we have had all holidays to get her stuff, and she only tells me now?? No way babycakes!

10:51 pm

Play me in Letterblox: http://omgpop.com/i/letterblox/wh5vd_6 vz38

so, if i ask whether letterblox involves anagrams in any way, shape or form, can you answer yes of no?

10:52 pm

Don't think I know letterblox game. I play enough word games against Babblers and other friends every day without adding another one.

Mr Pres when does yours go back?

Yes or No, i meant

10:52 pm

MrP - that's teenaged girls for you! I've got one, too. Hell, aren't they?

10:53 pm

yep! and she ain't getting what she wants NOW!

10:53 pm

i just love the stomping off... fun!

okay, i just looked at the link, and i see anagrams. not playin', sorry!

10:54 pm

Also, MrP., I bet you already knew what she needed for school and suggested ages ago that you should both go out and look for/get it and she wasn't interested then....

10:55 pm

correct jac!

I was a horrible snot as a teen.

10:55 pm

toal

10:55 pm

hi infern. :)

Hi.

10:55 pm

MY darling offspring, after having had all weekend to clean the birdcage was not at all pleased when I told him unequivocally that it was TIME to clean it NOW (at 9 pm with rehearsal at 8:30 am). oh well. *mama shrug*

10:56 pm

yes, it involves anagrams! lol, sorry. chatting in between rounds.

But that is because you have pets.

I may just go off soon back to bed.

10:57 pm

no -- it is HIS pet. I don't clean birdcages due to allergies.

10:57 pm

i have to go for a while... have reports to put in with all the cards I gave out over the weekend! bbl

Exactly

10:57 pm

he is done now, doesn't take long when he wants to!

Later Mr Pres

10:58 pm

later mrp -- good luck. ((hugs))

sod I have to go and hang up washing. SO can't be assed

10:59 pm

((lady)) see you again soon!

I am not going any were

10:59 pm

My new neighbour (the mother of the family) seemed to be having a very LOUD 'discussion' with her 13-year-old son just after 10pm this evening. I could hear them over the TV, but I had to mute it to listen. LOL.

10:59 pm

no, but I probably am. *yawn*

Do not feel like moving at all

JAC/ :D

(shocked!) lol

11:02 pm

Gwen - at least I didn't resort to putting a glass up against the wall to hear better.

heheh Jac

but that would have made such a better story lol

11:03 pm

Gwen - yes it would! Next time they shout I will stick a glass with a mike in it up the wall, youtube it and then show you all (not) LOL.

oh boy! lol

that should beat out all those youtube vids of monkeys washing cats, yes???

11:07 pm

Beloved referred to the girl he had seen in the scrapman's van earlier as a 'bird' when we passed another scrapman's van on the way home from the wholesalers' and I wondered if it was the same van. 'I wonder why men refer to females as 'birds'?' said I. 'Is is because they are soft and delicate or because the twitter a lot?' Beloved grinned, knowing I couldn't hit him since he was driving and told me it was most likely the latter.

Because they have tits Jac

11:08 pm

That's a theory, herin. LOL

But mostly it is to do with the chattering and preening woman do

same reason 'Murican men call 'em chicks

11:10 pm

I should have youtubed Beloved 'shaving the pussy' (our female long-haired cat, now deceased, who refused to be groomed. Or I could have filmed him washing our male cat who once came home covered with thick mud from tail tip to shoulders - I guess he lost a fight and fell into a pond.

okay, speaking of changing the subject (tm) I say Harry Potter 7.2 today. yes it's super

11:10 pm

I think it's from "chica" -- spanish for girl

11:11 pm

we have a long heritage of spanglish

11:11 pm

I haven't seen it yet gwen

say = saw (OY)

11:11 pm

Herin - men think women 'chatter and preen'? Have you watched men? And, in history, men have been far more showy - think of cod pieces, wigs, etc.

uh oh stereotype alert! lol

11:13 pm

yast

11:13 pm

oooh. AEB!!! (((many hugs))) how are you?

11:13 pm

stid - you're probably right about the origin being chica, but speculating is fun.

11:14 pm

i'm fine ....computer was ill.

11:14 pm

so glad to see you! :-D

11:15 pm

down to 6 here and fumbling around a lot.

11:15 pm

Gwen - I saw Harry P & the DH pt.2 on Saturday. Excellent, yes? It stuck closely to the book and left my favourite line of Mrs. Weasley's in, 'Not my daughter, YOU BITCH!'

Hi Aeb I haven't seen you in an age

11:15 pm

thanx..it's good to be back !

great thing about the harry potter movies, each one is better than the previous, so i figgered 7.2 would be effin good

11:16 pm

is there only the one SC word?

11:16 pm

hi everybody!

stid, yep

hi aeb, have we met?

11:17 pm

thanks gwen so likely I need an SP or an SL *thinking*

and of course I drift off

my initials are the two standard clefs, ha ha

11:18 pm

yes Book Dr. ...a while ago

11:19 pm

I thought Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was a rubbish film. The book was far better.

O that film was trash. It was horribly done and cut to pieces. Even if you didn't read the book the film didn't make sense

sorry, but not comparing book to movie here. i find that exercise usually pretty pointless ...

took me 10 minutes to go from 9 left to 8 left. grrrrrr

11:20 pm

Herin - but if you'd read the book, you sensed how bad the film was.

11:21 pm

go gwen go!

Yes I did read the book. It was like I am going to the shop, Hang on I am at the shop with milk in my hand. How did that happen

11:21 pm

okay, is there more than one SL word?

11:22 pm

I was shocked when talking to my best friend on the 'phone earlier to hear that she's neither read nor watched anything 'Harry Potter'. We are best friends, who still finish one and others sentences, but we don't see one another often now.

i know at least two people who are HP virgins ...

11:23 pm

Stid - no, only one sl word.

11:23 pm

okay, thanks. *thinking*

11:23 pm

Gwen - HP virgins? LOL

11:23 pm

down to FIVE! it was another sp 5

(uno)

11:25 pm

stid - I bet that sp5 was the eunuch word that comes from ancient language for 'ripped off'. Ouch!

11:25 pm

go gwen go!

feuerwerken!! (tu5,22 was my last little beastie)

11:25 pm

YAY gwen!

hoo-AAAAAHHHHHHH

Yah Book

11:26 pm

Gwen - you should have got the tu5/22 ages ago - it was the squirrel who told kids in the UK how to cross the road a few decades ago.:-)

jacula, me 'Murican! me don' know no Brit squirrels!

11:27 pm

Gwen - I know! LOL

(and, for example, do you know how many years passed for me, between *hearing* about blakes 7 and actually *seeing* blakes 7?)

night Stid

11:38 pm

clues for y words please

11:39 pm

clue please for sp5/14??

y + vowel + double consonant

11:39 pm

Gwen - its original name was 'The Henry Wood Promenade Concerts ' and that got condensed down to The Proms.

hi flask! sp5 is like a shovel, but last letter is different vowel

11:39 pm

ty got y words now.

11:39 pm

'Night stiddy!xx

promenade! DOH!!! (best i could come up with was promotional. wiki doesn't know what you know! TY)

11:40 pm

thanx Gwen

henry wood is/was a famous conductor?

11:41 pm

sp5/14 is the eunuch word I mentioned before. Think of a water place sp* then add an action verb.

so, torchwood. too violent, to much sex, too realistic, not fun, and capt jack is really annoying. (seriously, usualy sex and violence don't bother me, but on that show it does)

11:42 pm

Gwen - yes.

11:44 pm

Gwen - how about the Sarah-Jane Adventures? Unfortunately, the actress who played SJ died last April.

CLue for the LA 5 not the spoon please

i liked the sarah jane adventures a lot. have the DVDs. although sometimes it did seem to aim a bit too young, but if i had to compare it to DW, it was a lot closer to the old DW than torchwood! (Yes, very sad about Ms Sladen, she was effin cool)

la5 is the spoon again, diff spelling

Ta

sho nuff

PE 5 second one please

11:48 pm

er...I think the other la5 is folded back part along the front of a jacket, esp a man's suit coat...

It is and thanks have them both

oops, you right, me wrong!

11:49 pm

pe5 is plural of pe4

goin' on memory, didn't check my list

I got it though thanks

pe4, p + little magical creature, then plural

i need a snack, so say goodnight now. goodnight.
