12:07 am

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag, And smile, smile, smile, While you've a lucifer to light your fag, Smile, boys, that's the style. What's the use of worrying? It never was worth while, so Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag, And smile, smile, smile.

1:10 am

gnight flosey

night flos!

1:10 am

hi josh -- glad to hear that!

no wait, ha

he said 5th row, not 5th column - those are ec4/6 x 2

wedding planning has turned my brain into mush

1:11 am

I don't know what my excuse is, jah!

wedding planning???

it's only a week and a half away

1:12 am

jah = josh (see? hands are mush too)

what wedding??

what have I missed??

i thought you were pretending i was a rasta mon, jilli

my wedding with my future wife

1:13 am

josh is getting married

oh wow!!! congrats josh!! hope it all goes well and is as beautiful a wedding as can be!

is certainly the most memorable day of your life!

happy for you :))

here's hoping

my husband has a dinner date with me tonight... let's see if he remembers

1:16 am

what kind of a wedding will it be, josh? Church? Elsewhere? Big? Inimate?

1:16 am

happy anniversary mr p

1:16 am

*intimate

it's in an old former church, but it is not a religious wedding, about 100 people

1:16 am

in prison josh?

thanks ruuster!

100 people is not intimate!!

that is a logistical nightmare

most of it is my fiancee's crazy family

and i do mean crazy

i thought i had an intimate wedding with 65... ha!

1:17 am

sounds lovely

1:19 am

in Toronto, josh?

yes, in downtown toronto jilli

1:21 am

then where will you live?

same, she has an apartment and we will be here for now

1:22 am

so welcome to Canada, josh!

thanks much, though i suppose it is official in 6 months or so when i get permanent resident status

1:23 am

it's the intention that counts :-)

will the missus change her name to yours or you to hers??

names will stay the same, we're not too bothered with such formalities

ditto josh, i never changed my name :)

I am known as mrs P, but all my papers etc are in Ms M

1:26 am

In Quebec it's mandatory now that women keep their maiden names

however, the kids are miss and master P

we have the choice, but not many people change their name after marriage

really, jilli. that is weird

1:27 am

My son's wife kept her maiden name but the kids are hyphenated, hers and his.

my name and my husband's name hyphenated is very very weird!

1:28 am

I can't find a lot of my old friends because their names have changed.

I get mistaken for a samoan-indian... until they see me

1:28 am

what is the origin of your surnmae, mrp?

1:29 am

*surname

my surname is Hungarian

My husband's surname is Finnish

1:29 am

ah -- I wondred -- thanks. And Lickety's?

1:29 am

I kept my last name when we were married

lickety's is Finnish

1:30 am

Ah, I see. Thanks again.

1:30 am

Ruru , you're silly, lol!

there are many couples changing their last names to the wife's name

1:31 am

I've never heard of a man changing his name when he got married.

1:31 am

I wonder if any do.

1:31 am

You just asnwered that, mrp.

it is the 'in thing' jilli

a friend of mine changed his name when he married his wife. to be honest i found it rather odd

1:32 am

Bad idea, imho, for the reason I mentioned about not being able to trace my old friends. And I suppose my old friends can't find me either.

I would not want my husband to be Mr M, cause that is my father... and I don't want to be Mrs P cause that is my mother-in-law

not that it should be any particular way, but i guess i just don't see the urgency in changing names with marriage in the first place

1:33 am

But in my day it was unheard of for a woman to keep her name.

indeed jilli, now anything goes!

you can change your whole name by deed poll and create your own family name

I would change it to Bochert if I could

1:34 am

I'm with you, josh -- although it's easier to refer to a couple as "the Smiths" rather than "the Smith/Joneses"

1:35 am

why, mrp?

if we anglicised our names, mine would be Milton and my husband's would be Palmer

1:36 am

why Bochert?

long story jilli, but a respectable french man from my mother's era

I spent my whole life in his business, grew up under his name

1:37 am

hmmm, interesting!

Charles A. Bochert... when he died, my mother took over his business... was refered to as Ms Bochert for 20 years

1:38 am

ugh..does anyone have the ge 6/24's I have one can't find the other

1:38 am

Where was your dad, mrp?

My daughter has changed her name to my name... interestingly enough

he was on the properties jilli... my parent's didn't live together due to 'business commitments'

1:39 am

sorry, ruru, I don't have either ge6

1:40 am

the properties?

yes, the properties... thousands of acres of properties

1:40 am

just got the ge7 though :-)

1:41 am

an Australian term, I think

1:41 am

I mean "the properties"

no... we had farms... properties...

is it not an international word??

1:44 am

the word is international but the usage isn't quite. My mother's cousin had a sheep station in NSW -- elsewhere it might be called a farm or a ranch or something

oh, no, we don't use ranch, and a sheep station is a particular type of property

we have farms if you are referring to broad properties with large acerage terms

1:47 am

and here farms can be fairly small -- great variation. Did you properties have crops or what?

we have sheep stations, cattle ranches and horse studs... wheat stations etc... all called different things.

the properties had everything, that is why I referred to them as properties... in a broad sense

1:48 am

I guess your family doesn't have them any more?

we ran sheep, cattle, wheat, feed, horses, chickens... the bloody lot!!

yes, we still do

1:49 am

where were/are they?

the main property is in Gilgandra, then there is the beach property in Forster... and other places that don't really count as large properties.

1:52 am

all in NSW?

1:53 am

*goes to get atlas with map of Oz

yes... the QLD properties were sold

1:53 am

morning all

1:53 am

Wow -- they owned a lot of Australia!

we had a property until recently in Merriwa... loved that property!!

1:54 am

hi sprite

hi sprite :)

1:56 am

Interesting lighthouse, sprite -- I'd never make it, climbing all those stairs to the top!

1:56 am

lol me neither, but just looking at it is wonderful. When the light moves over the water, it is such an impressive sight.

1:57 am

yours is beautiful too.

1:58 am

thanks, sprite -- I don't know if it's still manned -- a few are.

1:59 am

I don't believe we still have manned lighthouses. All automated.

2:02 am

lol this reminds me of a riddle. This guy comes home, parks his car outside the garage, enters his home, putsout the light and goes to bed. Next morning he wakes up, gets out of bed, looks out of the window and... suicides. What did he see from the window and why did he commit suicide?

2:02 am

fireworks

2:02 am

well, 56 left and my pillow beckons so fare thee well, everyone, and ...*poof

2:02 am

fireworks

2:03 am

gratz ruru and wtg jilli and bye jilli... you just missed my riddle!

2:06 am

o.k. I bite - What & Why?

2:07 am

it is actually a riddle where you get to ask lots of questions and the asker answers with yes or no. Want the answer straight away? (it is a great party riddle)

2:07 am

straight away - please.

2:08 am

what he sees is dozens of stranded ships and drowned people. He suicides because he is responsible. He is the lighthouse guard and he PUT OUT THE LIGHT.

2:10 am

Now if I had followed the chat and the theme I

2:11 am

(continues) I should have been able to figure that out.

2:12 am

hehehe yes indeed. Well, remember it and if you are at a party or gathering, things are boring and you cannot leave... let them ask questions until they drop.

2:12 am

good morning babblers!!!!

2:12 am

morning rubyfoo :)

2:14 am

{{sprite}}

2:14 am

hi dianne

2:15 am

"toto, we are not in kansas anymore..." Toto not valid, alas

2:17 am

there is a lexulous player called "notinkansas" and I always call him toto

2:17 am

lol great

I like that one sprite!!

2:19 am

hello again, ho hum, sleepless! will babble until...

2:19 am

{{mrp}}

I have one too, but have to collect my thoughts to get it down right

2:19 am

hello dear flosey!

2:19 am

I am glad, mrP :) I have another one for you, if you like. Your kids will LOVE it.

2:19 am

aw poor flosey. Glad to see you though.

hi flos! poor hun... let us entertain you!

hi ruby :))

how you going sweetness??

sprite!! you almost have mail!! the packaging was covered in stickers and stuff saying I wasn't a bomber!

2:20 am

we had late supper, when that wears off, I'll sleep

ok, publish it!!

2:20 am

roflol! Wonderful, looking forward to receiving it. Does it have stamps?

so when you and the kids get it, ignore all the warning! LOL

2:21 am

ok here comes the other party riddle. Imagine this world. It is exactly like our world, except for one thing. But.... because they don't have that one thing, they don't have thousands of things. What is the one thing they don't have?

2:22 am

floey, to avoid that problem, I do most of my eating at breakfast and lunch, very little at night

2:22 am

flosey* duh

2:22 am

oh mrp, I bought a pkg of timtams - Arnott's original with a tiny picture of a parrot in front of the Arnott's name

2:22 am

love the icon, btw, and the romantic memory :)

no stamps, they put other stuff on it now... practically put it through a startrek like contraption and then I had to sign about 4 things to say what it was and who I was and why I was sending it and the price of it, the net gram weight, reasons for wearing pink underwear... etc... you get the picture?

2:22 am

haven't tried them yet, will do tomorrow, just don't fancy chocolate now

2:23 am

totally. Your brand of to5paste, where you had your first kiss ;)

they don't have timtams!

LOL :))

excellent flosey! have you done the timtamslam???

2:24 am

???mrp

my 'they don't have timtams' was answer to sprite

ok, timtamslam... bite a little corner off one end, and then a little corner off the other end of the timtam.....

2:25 am

I don't understand any of this chog.....

2:25 am

yes, they do have timtams! No oreo's, but they do have timtams.

suck coffee or tea, using the timtam like a straw, until it goes soggy, then put it in your mouth, let it melt and swallow whole!

we only got oreo's two years ago here!!

2:26 am

oh my, quite a process!

2:26 am

rubyfoo: sprite: riddle mrP: has sent cookies named timtams to lots of babblers flosey: sleepless outside of Seattle

sorry ruby... we are talking naughty choc biscuits

but... the process is the prize!

2:26 am

lol, true sprite

hot coffee is the best!

2:26 am

sounds like a lot of trouble for a sweetie!

2:27 am

a really good sweetie is worth that trouble.

2:27 am

come on, mrP, next guess :D

2:27 am

there were 3 varieties, chocolate with choc. biscuit, chocolate with white biscuit, and choc. with caramel

if you want a blast of heaven in your mouth to make your tastebuds jump and jive, you have to timtamslam!

ok... is it 'like' our planet??

2:28 am

yes it is like our planet. Exactly like it except for one thing. But even though it is 'like', it is not similar.

2:29 am

also bought bakery pb cookies, tore into them - they're big and soft and yummy

one thing... hmmmmm

thousands of things... not millions??

2:31 am

beautiful lighthouse, flosey

2:31 am

thousands, millions, zillions. But not hundreds.

well, that would be pictures of brittney spears and lindsay lohan with underwear on!

not hundreds.... hmmmmm

2:32 am

they don't have brittney spears, but they do have lindsay lohan

2:32 am

ty Sprite

exactly like our world, but not our world....

now that is confusing!!

2:35 am

I think you got the idea how to answer the questions... want the answer?

yes please!

2:35 am

they don't have the letter R

oh boy!!! LOl!! no way I would have got that!!

why do elephant's have trunks??

2:37 am

no it is a very successful game. Always answer with something confusing... like do they have fruit? No, but they do have bananas and apples and melons. Do they have cars? No but they have wheels.

2:37 am

errrr to eat and smell and cuddle with?

very clever sprite!

cause they would look a little silly with a handbag!

2:37 am

LOL

2:38 am

do you know why you shouldn't walk through the jungle at noon exactly?

why ??

2:39 am

that is when the elephants drop out of the trees.

hahaha !!

2:40 am

do you know why the crocodile's face is flat?

why ??

2:40 am

the crocodile did walk through the jungle at noon

oh groan!! LOL i have one for you...

2:41 am

does anybody have the 8?

2:41 am

need a clue, please

2:42 am

sorry, no, I have nothing over 6 yet

2:42 am

ag8/55

2:42 am

I'll put the monkeys to work, ty flosey

2:43 am

or a + ge7

what is the word?? the word has seven letters... proceded God, greater than God, more evil than the Devil, all poor people have it, wealthy people need it, if you eat it you will die.

2:43 am

thanks flosey!

2:45 am

uw sprite

2:45 am

mrP, does every part make one letter? Or do all parts have the same word as answer?

same word as answer

2:46 am

ok... thinking...

2:46 am

oh I know I think! Nothing?

2:46 am

nothing

the word is 'nothing'... you are smart sprite!!

2:47 am

hello dizgrannie

2:47 am

snap. Sprite

2:47 am

:D I love riddles

2:47 am

I found a bunch of ag words but not that one!

2:47 am

rubyfoo, think of related to hereditary traits

2:47 am

hey Ruby and all!!

2:47 am

still working on ag8.....

2:47 am

hi dizgrannie!

80% of kindergarteners got that... 5% of Stanford students

2:47 am

ty sprite

2:48 am

easy-peasy with a clue like that!!!

2:48 am

roflol! Yeah, it is easy to think too complicated

2:48 am

yvw rubyfoo, I hope the clue wasn't making it too easy

hi diz :))

2:49 am

you don't hear me complaining!

2:49 am

ok ;)

and... some of these words are peeing me off!! grrr... breathe, breathe, breathe.... ahhhhhhh :))

2:51 am

I am having fun with the words. So far. Still need 1/3

a man lives in the penthouse apartment on the 54th floor, there is a gym on the 20th floor. On a sunny day, he gets off on the 20th floor and walks up to his penthouse, on a rainy day, he does not stop at the gym, and takes the elevator to his apartment... why is this so??

2:55 am

hmmmm he is the person that must lower the sun shields in the gym?

no... but keep working that way

2:57 am

... he is a neurotic cleaner and knows that he will be cleaning dirty footsteps all day if he stops at the gym on rainy days?

hahah! but no!!

2:58 am

... on rainy days he keeps his co4 buttoned up so high he cannot see the elevator button for the 20th floor, only the top button?

hehehe! no... let me know when you are ready for answer

2:59 am

hehehe I am ready!

you are barking up the right tree sprite!

he is a midget, and carries an umbrella on rainy days, so can reach the penthouse button with his umbrella, but on a sunny day, can only reach the 20th floor button!

3:00 am

lolllll ok not bad, I was close!

very close!!

3:04 am

riddles are such a fun way to stretch the brain muscles :)

sorry, was off doing family stuff

3:08 am

bad girl! Leaving me all alone!

i have to send info to my new lawyer now... so much work to do!!

oh I won't leave you then!

will wait for lickety to email me all the scanned info I need.

the Prick is being sued for defamation and damages due to the results of his defamation

3:09 am

*giggles* Go ahead, mrP, I am a big girl. Informing your lawyer is much more important.

3:10 am

yes, you told me yesterday. Very good!

well, it has to be given to her before 8am in the morning

3:11 am

has she told you how she feels about the chances of winning this case?

i will find that out on friday... she is seeing a QC (Queen's Councillor) and Barrister on friday with my case to confirm that

3:13 am

very good. Am keeping my fingers crossed. He must be slapped really hard, or it will only make things worse. I'd love to see him behind bars...

the only issue is, if he has any money. His wife works full time so there is money, and they have furniture that is expensive... just need to get a lien out against him and all will be good (unless I am in a line of people wanting money out of him)

sprite, that is the $64 million question... will he react or retract

3:14 am

yeah... too bad he can decide

he won't go behind bars unless someone comes forward and says he did it without reservation

3:15 am

what does that mean, without reservation?

with no doubt and with proof

3:17 am

ah... that is a tough one

3:21 am

Hello sprite and mrp et al.

3:21 am

hey chic :)

3:22 am

Sprite. Do you play lex?

3:23 am

no I don't play any games on FB. It was too addictive for me.

3:23 am

Oh ok

3:24 am

sorry :(

hi chic :) just between dinner and babble

so if i disappear... you can find me in the kitchen or laundry

3:25 am

No worries

3:26 am

The kitchen of my mind both rehab places of chefs

3:27 am

ahh chefs... I could use one!

3:28 am

I've got to try to sleep more now later, amigas

3:28 am

sleep well, chic

my rice cooker broke!!! waaahhhhhh!!!

3:36 am

aww:(

oh well, will have to have mash potato

see ya chic!! chat soon hunny

3:37 am

or just boil rice the oldfashioned way?

yep, that is happening too

i am giving them 'options' tonight... lickety is out for the next three nights, so occupying myself with cooking

can't eat to save my life at the moment, but family has come together and brings me food

3:39 am

ok that is good. And remember you can add good nutrition with instant meals

3:40 am

I mean the liquid meals... you know what I mean?

i had a little meltdown... saw a pic of a car burning at night, and then blow up, on the news... kind of hurt me somewhere inside

yes, I can use protein shakes etc. must do that in the mornings

3:42 am

yeah, that is trauma. Similar images may trigger the original event. Try not to panic, let the emotions peak and then ebb away. And remind yourself that this is now, and not then.

3:42 am

that's it, protein shakes.

indeed sprite... need to be realistic

however, realistic can be the Prick doing something again. I am just so wary now.

3:44 am

yes, it is important. If you remind yourself of the reality now, it helps build 'good routes' in your nervous system. In stead of the panicky ones the trauma is trying to create.

brb... need to look at the dinner... literally just look at it LOL

3:45 am

no, realistic is that the prick isn't doing anything right now, so stay in the now.

3:48 am

fireflies. Rather easy grid compared to the last 2 days. Must be off, going to discover Groningen with my kids.

see ya sprite! nice chatting :))

have fun too

5:20 am

ah - hopefully they can do it with teeny incisions (right now I forget what they call that) - I've had that kind of knee surgery and as I recall it was not a difficult recovery (at least for me)

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/buttermil k-pancakes-ii/detail.aspx

6:47 am

pancakes..u fry in pan until they bubble on top....covered in bubbles on med heat.... then flip

6:47 am

Morning all. So Seain, what do the boys like for breakfast?

6:47 am

easy peasy..these ones....fluff up HUGE...i add a touch of vanilla and a bit more sugar..and just butter these..no syrup

6:47 am

varies, most often eggs

6:47 am

but..if u dont like them..nevermind

6:48 am

What is WITH you Canadians and no syrup on pancakes? My husband was like that.

6:48 am

He ate pancakes with (gag) peanut butter on them.

6:48 am

i do syrup on other pancakes..but that recipe..does not ned them

6:49 am

when i eat them, i don't like syrup on them either.

6:49 am

i just go from 3 tbsp sugar to 1/4 and i add 1- 2 tsp vanilla....

6:49 am

Then there was my father-in-law (British) who put salt and pepper on his French toast.

6:49 am

just butter...delish....

6:50 am

my girlfriend does that..but she makes french toast savory....with rosemary and parsley and garlic

6:50 am

I put salt and pepper on my french toast, cannot eat it with syrup

6:50 am

some of the best pancakes I've ever had were in Canada and they had syrup!

6:50 am

i do mine with cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla

People didn’t always say “hello” when they answered the phone. When the first regular phone service was established in 1878, people said “ahoy.”

9:03 am

To swear to something, you take an oa 4

9:03 am

planning on buying a point and shoot camera very soon. what are you folks using and do you like it?

9:04 am

point and shoot... canon g12 or the new sony is very very good. if you want to shoot video go with the sony, excellent stability and gorgeous hd imaging

9:05 am

i use the wifes tablet for all that peri,i cantake pics,then use photo editor for cropping,lighting adjustments and red eye etc and it come with a video camera...crossy loves all in one devices;)

9:05 am

found the o

9:05 am

I love the one I have but they don't make this particular model any more. It is a Kodak with a 12x zoom. LOVE IT!

9:05 am

ok

9:06 am

though if i had to get a stand alone digi cam i would choose a cannon in the 700 dollar range would give you all the quality you need,with room to grow

9:06 am

nbt just need the 8 for nbs pls

9:06 am

will go looking a cameras today

9:07 am

if you want a good camera, buy an actual camera. if you want something to take the occasional snap stick with a phone or tablet

9:07 am

Ahoy all!

9:07 am

$700 is a little to steep for me at the moment

9:07 am

Hi michnick!

9:07 am

Ahoy Mich

9:07 am

I got mine at Walmart.

9:08 am

stay away from the kodac point and shoots with the little pop out zoom lenses,you look at them wrong and you get photo blur

9:08 am

How is everyone today?

9:08 am

howdy mich

9:08 am

will do. thought of checking out Cannon, Pentax, Panasonic

9:08 am

the canon g12 is in the $400 range. i have the g7, a few years old now and i love it. if i am shooting more seriously i'll take the dslr but for a point and shoot the canon is outstanding

9:08 am

doing quite well Mich and you?

9:08 am

I have never had a problem with mine Crossy, but I have heard of that difficulty.

9:08 am

I am fine Michnick...and you?

9:09 am

OK. Dealing with difficult almost-teen son. Trying to be positive.

9:09 am

Oh no...tough time.

9:10 am

thanks for the info

9:10 am

i think i would take bonklers advice and check out the cannon line of digi cams

9:10 am

will do

9:10 am

He is extremely fresh, to the point of being nasty. He never wants to listen and when i get firm with him he accuses me of "screaming". He's been spoiled by everyone all of his life and it is hitting the fan. Grr.

9:11 am

Ugh. I dread those days to come.

9:11 am

that is a tough situation Mich

9:11 am

and not yet a teen...just wait..lol

9:11 am

I am talking about my son, not my camera

9:11 am

i've built my business on canon equipment and in five years have never had an issue with any of the canon's i operate

9:11 am

LOL!

9:12 am

i told my son today to get a house and a job while he still knows everything lol

9:12 am

Good advice Crossy!

9:13 am

Great idea except this one finished 6th grade today and is turning 12 next week. (LOL)

9:14 am

now is the time to set boundries and rules that will last him to 17 or so,toughest part is being firm and unwavering with the consequenses that you may lay down as punishments for his actions

9:15 am

if they see any weakness or leiniency,you are toast!

9:15 am

maybe its just a phase michnick...his body is probably raging wtih hormones right now. But, if you don't lay the rules down firmly right now, it will only get worse. Always stand by what you say, even if you regret a punishment.

9:15 am

snap lisa

9:15 am

I am working on that. I am probably doing what should have been done 6-7 yrs ago. The problem is my MIL is always on his side, thinks I am evil and sneaks him treats when he is supposed to be punished.

9:16 am

the adults must agree and act as one

9:16 am

that will cause chaos

9:17 am

then you must train m-i-l

9:17 am

Idea in theory Crossy, but I live with real people who are not willing to go "with the program". mY DH agrees with me but will never go against his mom.

9:17 am

you are the parent,this is your child,your house

9:17 am

i see problems ahead:((

9:18 am

well Mich...bottom line, if they are not willing to go with you, you still have to stand your ground. Be there for your chile, because he will trust you more than those who spoil. You are going to be his sounding board. Someone who lays the law down, someone who he can come to.

9:18 am

Ah, beautiful words but she will not accept that. She has always undermined my parenting of this child from the beginning. I have 6 others but she sees him as "hers" more because she came to live here (in Israel) the day he was born. He is the youngest.

9:19 am

You will be the one he will want to do good for, for fear of disappointing you.

9:19 am

by the time my son was 8 or so,i learned that good cop/bad cop does not work

9:19 am

I pray you are right Lisa!

9:19 am

children and in laws are like dogs. they must be shown who is the alpha. that may mean an uncomfortable confrontation but if you don't step on the mom in law, you've lost and she'll create a spoiled monster

9:19 am

exactly lisa

9:20 am

She has bonk and I am trying to uncreate the monster and turn him into a boy. Tough road ahead.

9:20 am

yes bonkler,so true,my mil tried that crap and we had to sit her down and explain a few things

9:20 am

I am a single mom, while there have been trying times, I dont regret not having to quarrel with someone else. My law is rule lol.

9:21 am

Tough situation Michnick. I think you can appeal to the other members of the family (maybe) by stating what a critical time this is for your son and that you all need to work together and be on the same page so he is able to grow and make good decisions. Explain that if he sees you all divided that only confuses him. The bottom line is you ALL want what is best for him and to give him every opportunity to succeed in life...not fail.

9:22 am

I feel for you Mich...tough stuff. But strong parenting creates strong children. and weak parenting creates weak parenting. You can't control the other parental figures, although you can try to persuade them. If persuasion doesn't work...just do your best. It sucks that they are ruining this child though :(

9:22 am

good summarization car:)

9:22 am

part of the problem is that he had 3 siblings get married and leave the nest in less than 1/2 a year. He knows that more than ever I am on my own with him. His dad is often away and will not go against his mom. I want to try and get the MIL out of the picture somewhat but she lives next door.

9:22 am

TY crossy.

9:23 am

dad MUST be on the same page as you,if he is cosying up to his mommy,that is tough indeed

9:23 am

How wonderful for you and him to have this time together!!!! He needs to see what a blessing that is!

9:24 am

a video camera can be a very useful tool. record the boy acting out, talking back, mouthing off and misbehaving. cut it together like a highlight real and present it to mil as her work. this is what she has created. let her know that you love her but that she is causing harm to her beloved/spoiled grandkid, causing hurt to you and creating a situation that damages the relationship of her son and his wife. if that makes no impression on her let her know that you are prepared to cut her off and stand firm. oh, and tell her son to grow a set of nuts (if you'll pardon my swahili) and do what's right.

9:24 am

He's not cosying up per se, he doesn't defend her or anyuthing but he won't openly oppose her either. This honor your mother stuff. I keep telling him there are honoralbe ways to explain our position to her but he insists it won't help.

9:25 am

yes,son must cut apron strings and worry bout his family

9:25 am

sorry to be harsh

9:25 am

Yup.

9:25 am

Thanks Bonk. she actually does see his acting out. She gets upset with him and then sneaks him a danish or a cookie she bought for him in a bakery. Mixed messages and confusing stuff. The whole situation with her is so complicated!

9:26 am

Tell her his doctor said that he cannot have any more sweets.

9:27 am

OK...only 50 words left. Time to get some work done....although I am bleary eyed!

9:27 am

She is actually quite nasty to the nest older brother. She has taken food off of his plate to give it to her younger brother. She spent the WWII yrs in Siberia starving so food is her big issue.

9:27 am

Not her younger brother, his, the youngest son.

9:28 am

send her away from the table if she pulls crap like that

9:29 am

I have bonk, it just turns into a screaming match. It is not good for the kids to see me treating her like that either. I feel like I am in a lose/lose situation whereever she is concened.

9:30 am

you may have to take the welcome mat away for a month or so,let her think on it

9:30 am

does she live in your house? if not lock her out for a while. access predicated on decent, civil behaviour

9:30 am

snap bonkler

9:31 am

any clue for the 2nd ge6/24 ?

9:31 am

I have tried. I have had the family dr and our Rabbi speak to my husband. He will not go there. She has her own place but she basically spends all her waking hours in our house. She just watches the news at her place because we don't own a TV

9:32 am

... polite man ... followed by double vowel

9:32 am

ty dose,new word for me

9:32 am

the youngest will not only be spoiled but resented by siblings. she is doing real harm. a shouting match is the least of your worries. and what about the kid whose plate is invaded for the sake of the burgeoning brat. he deserves the righteous defence of an outraged mom.

9:32 am

thanks...got it

9:33 am

... and me ... I think that someone's kid knew it was a kind of penguin earlier ... everyone was amazed

9:33 am

its a penguin cross

9:34 am

I just tell her she cannot touch anyone's food or plate and to leave the serving to me, or let them take their own food. The age difference is only 17 months but the older one is much more mature and circumspect. He knows she's off and tries to avoid the confrontations.

9:34 am

of course it is easy for us to say,i can look back and see where i waited too long to do this myself.and when i did it tore the family apart for a few months,but the in-laws eventually learned that we were serious and if they wanted to see the grandbabby,they had to follow our rule

9:36 am

can you have your meal whilst she is home watching the news?

9:37 am

it is not unfair or wise to rely on the circumspect nature of the older child. you might not notice it but there will certainly be resentment building that could break the relationship of those brothers for life. your husband needs a cuff in the ear, figuratively speaking. he needs to know that he is risking the health of his wife and children for the price of cowardice.

9:37 am

not fair... d'oh

9:37 am

yes,as you say bonkler,he must grow a pair

9:39 am

years ago,i had to stand up to my da in much the same way,and stand beside my wife with my 6 month old son in her arms

9:39 am

lol,no he is a gangly 17 year old that grunt at us,unless it is about cars or money lol

9:40 am

now

9:41 am

I don't always agree with what my daughter in law does but I only moan at my hubby!

9:41 am

yes,interesting to hear a mil,s thoughts on this...

9:43 am

I think its probably because my mil tried to interfere when mine were little so i vowed to myself to never be like that lol

9:46 am

watched my sister's inlaws ruin my niece. parents said no, they'd go behind their backs and defy house rules. she could do no wrong in their eyes, nothing was denied, no rule held. of course that came to a head when she destroyed their car and broke both her legs. nothing like a body cast, iv drips and police at the bedside to sober folks up.

9:47 am

indeed

9:47 am

ah the joys of family!!!

9:48 am

family is best(when everyone is grown up) on average 2000 mile apart or better,then everyone visits once a year or so and all is good

9:49 am

if only i could get some on mine that far away!!

9:50 am

or the family reunion once every 3 years,everyone gets together,gets drunk,fights,makes up,shakes hands and agrees to do it all again in 3 years or so

9:50 am

hear hear crosshair....'viva la distance' lol

9:50 am

of

9:50 am

... we just get together at funerals now

9:50 am

or that,nothing like a fine irsish style wake

9:50 am

gotta fly. best of luck with in-laws. happy to be single and childless lol

9:50 am

irish

9:53 am

when i go,i want the bar set up right on my closed casket and everyone to have a grand ole time, curse me,praise me,perhaps get lucky at the party and it is off to the crematorium for crossy

9:54 am

told the wife to put my ashes in a nice decorative hour glass,that way i shall always be on time

9:55 am

at the very least i can help her boil 3 minute egss...

9:56 am

Crosshair make mine a double ;o)

9:57 am

double long island iced tea for tbear!~

9:57 am

Good man x

9:58 am

2 ounce each of gin,rum,vodka,triple sec,3/4 glass of pink lemonade,splash of coke,crushed ice and garnish with lemon slice'

9:59 am

That'll wash down the teenage bad vibes nicely....

9:59 am

you said a double:)))

10:00 am

I can handle it....I can handle anything after bringing up two girls

10:09 am

10:37 am

How do the tile stats work? Why are some shaded and others not shaded? Why does "Z" say 1/1 when I found two "Z" words?

10:38 am

there's only one z word here, the Greek letter. If you found two, it was probably not a word

10:39 am

there is a word here ha 4/4 it means to loathe,the first 4 is the letter total,the send four is the point value

10:39 am

4/5..sorry

10:40 am

four letters,five points

10:40 am

and juju,make sure you scan the help section,it is full of good info

10:40 am

Actually, I found three "Z" words and they all come up as words on my word list.

10:41 am

tell me the other 2

10:42 am

Is that fair? To give them away to everyone on the chat?

10:42 am

lol,read the help section then

10:42 am

I did. The two words are cozen and cozens.

10:43 am

those words start with c and not z

10:43 am

that is why

10:44 am

Thank you. That is what I was trying to figure out--how the tile stats work. I get it now.

10:44 am

and you are correct,we do not type grid words in the chat log,but this was for helping so i am sure my babble buddies will forvgive

I made some lovely cards using it...friends have enjoyed receiving them.

11:13 am

11:13 am

what a great idea

awesome.... unfortunately, some of them only last a few days.

11:15 am

have never been to Arizona, parents had a winter home on the Nevada desert (nearest airport was LV)

11:15 am

hi all!

every time I receive flowers, I take a picture of them and make a thank you card using the picture... that way the sender knows how they looked !!!

11:16 am

Our son built a home in Casa Grande 6 years ago, and we get to enjoy it for FREE.... as do his inlaws

12:05 pm

My mother-in-law tells a funny story about a Mother's Day that she was going to be unable to visit her Mother, so she sent flowers. At the last minute, she was able to visit after all. When she got to her Mom's house, she found a bouquet of dead flowers on the dining room table. (They had been delivered the day before). Her Mom thought that telling her about the sad condition of the flowers would hurt her feelings. A LOUD phone call to the florist occurred and a bigger, better, fresher bouquet was delivered immediately.

12:13 pm

my sis did the same thing, but with a gift she purchsed from my son's fund-raiser. the xmas trinket with the word "Joy" actually ended up saying, "Yoj"! by the time she told me about it, the company wouldn't replace it! my sis says she actually likes it how it is!

that's funny :-)

The small ones are the most difficult sometimes. That's why i was leery of this one. JMC doing her Willie Nelson..on the road again. it was too hot to be on the road.

It is a type of penguin

2:16 pm

I was out all day and roasted despite the ac. Had to buy new sun shades. The new van absorbs heat like crazy (huge windows).

2:19 pm

I think everyone in the US is dry.

2:19 pm

kudos to you, krista :-)

2:20 pm

There is also a Wilmington in Ohio. Well?

2:20 pm

We actually have a negative heat index - feels cooler than the temp. Low humidity.

2:20 pm

I've been leaving a small sprinkler going on low in front and one in back for the poor birds

2:20 pm

low humidity . . . oh . . . my . . . god . . .

2:21 pm

I know! I haven't said that in....several years?

2:21 pm

LOL!

2:22 pm

MD is horrible... and we are in a valley here that traps the heat and humidity. You can swim in it. *blub blub*

2:22 pm

I remember what it was like when I came up to visit my daughter when she was at U of Md . . .

2:23 pm

sorry connection died

2:23 pm

Oh right, I forgot she was here. I waved to you when we went through Nville on the way to Memphis in April (where we dodged the severe weather bullet).

2:23 pm

Yes Krista, Maryland can be soupy with humidity in the summer.

2:25 pm

Yep, you know the deal, Molly. Suffocating. Ugh, get home to find the kids haven't had lunch. I bet he told them to wait for me.

2:25 pm

BBL

2:25 pm

and last summre she was getting her master's at U Mich -- went up for her graduation -- in graduation housing -- no AC -- miserable

2:26 pm

bye, krista!

2:26 pm

*summer

2:26 pm

whine whine whine LOL

2:26 pm

That's cruel, Une. Bye sue, JMC

2:27 pm

I just don't understand places with no air conditioning. It seems very primitive.

2:28 pm

when I went to visit her in Boone, NC (undergrad), there was no AC in the "quaint" hotel -- they said it never got hot enough to need AC -- RIGHT!

2:30 pm

when I lived in Geneva (Switzerland) NO ONE had air conditioning, and you needed a permit to install it; in order to get a permit you needed a reason - something medical, or equipment that required it - comfort was not a sufficient reason (this was in 1995)

2:30 pm

It never got hot enough??? IN NORTH CAROLINA???

2:31 pm

it didn't get hot all that often but when it did it was pretty miserable

2:31 pm

believe me, Molly, it was HOT

2:31 pm

the summer I worked in Switzerland, we were at a high enough elevation that it was nice -- low humidity too

2:32 pm

6000 ft

2:32 pm

Geneva and the lake . . so pretty, eh?

2:32 pm

it only got hot enough where I really wanted air conditioning once or twice, so it really wasn't a serious problem, and the offices where I worked all were air conditioned (lots of computers)

2:32 pm

it was WONDERFUL, une!

2:33 pm

riding the train thru Switzerland . . . truly Heidi country :-)

2:34 pm

I did a lot of that while I was there - could get cheap tickets sometimes as a resident

2:35 pm

any clues for the 8? (I know it's an ag but my monkeys are befuddled)

2:35 pm

I worked at Camp Montana Crans -- ever hear of it?

2:35 pm

I haven't, une; where is it?

2:35 pm

Heidi country. *Puts hair in braids and begins yodeling*

2:36 pm

looong time ago, but as I remember, it was straight up the mountain from Lausanne

2:36 pm

voila!!! http://www.campmontana.ch/

2:37 pm

at the time, it was mostly American kids -- rich parents dumped them there for a summer break

2:39 pm

8:23 pm

Hola peepies

8:24 pm

Hi Krista

8:26 pm

I respectfully disagree with whomever it was who said this grid wasn't hard earlier.

8:27 pm

I have found that there are some very bright people who do these grids regularly and rarely find them difficult. I am not one of them.

8:29 pm

hello all! ((hugs))

8:29 pm

I'd consider myself bright if it weren't for 1) Babble 2) doing very poorly at a Jeopardy try out (but I'm so good at it in my living room!, lol)

8:29 pm

guessing the grid is part easy part annoying?

8:29 pm

Hi there Stid. How goes the remodeling?

8:30 pm

Hey stid! Exsactly right, for me anyway. First half was easy, second half is more challenging. I am exactly halfway.

8:30 pm

Hey Krista, if you made Jeopardy try outs, you are definitely bright.

8:30 pm

exactly, even

8:30 pm

greetings babble buddies

8:30 pm

Hi Origami

8:31 pm

Nah, it was an open try-out. They weeded out the riff raff for sure (me).

8:32 pm

Hi Origami

8:32 pm

no6/21 please.

8:33 pm

Molly, I am frustrated by my weak body and the stidkid who is supposed to be working around the house and yard in exchange for room and board-- but who is spending huge amounts of time on personal pursuits instead of "paying" his way. *sigh* other than that, the bedroom looks good, the rest of the house (with stacks of bedroom things waiting to be put away) less great

8:33 pm

hey origami

8:34 pm

nm

8:36 pm

Hello...

8:36 pm

Stid, I really feel for you with the body thing. It's soooo frustrating when your body can't keep up with all the things the mind wants to do. I have POTS as a long term effect of my chemo, and I fight that fight every day.

8:36 pm

so I still have many things to accomplish in the bedroom, but am currently sitting on ice. Will have a lot more time tomorrow to work on the room. *smile* AND stidkid #2's second play opens tomorrow evening as well! *proud mama look*

8:37 pm

I hear you Stid. I find major projects like that take more out of me now that I am...um...over forty. : D I'm glad you're happy with the bedroom, the rest will come in time.

8:37 pm

Hey Jellen! Congrats to Stidkid #2!

8:37 pm

Hi Jellen. What's the second play Stid?

8:38 pm

How did the auctions go, jellen?

8:38 pm

Hey Jellen!

8:38 pm

second play is "Honk" this is the website for the original production... http://www.stilesanddrewe.co.uk/honk/

8:38 pm

The auctions went...the second one not as good as the first, but I expected that...

8:39 pm

Because of the heat?

8:40 pm

Yes, and stuff was already picked over...

8:40 pm

Holy crap Krista, I just looked up POTS. Bless you, that must be difficult.

8:41 pm

Well, at least it's overwith.

8:42 pm

That's true...and I don't have all that much left to deal with...

8:43 pm

It's much easier now that I know what it is, Molly. Before I was diagnosed, I just felt lazy. Turns out it's really common from the type of chemo I had, but not even the docs know it (I found out through a study at Hopkins).

8:43 pm

I was trying to get figured out POTS but can't find it. but post-chemo stuff I know can be really debilitating

8:44 pm

That's good to hear, Jellen.

8:44 pm

there's tom now I think...

8:44 pm

60 left...unleashing the monkeys!

8:44 pm

go Krista go!!!!

8:45 pm

Right behind you at 67 left...

8:46 pm

When I am vertical too long (including sitting up), my blood pressure drops and heart rate goes up causing fatigue, lightheadedness. I get by. I have a friend who has it MUCH worse than I do. She is basically homebound.

8:46 pm

down to 74, still working on NBT though

8:46 pm

I'd say "wanna race?" but I'd lose. :)

8:47 pm

wow that sounds scary, Krista, glad you know what it is and what to do for it (I assume)

8:47 pm

Why isn't chai accepted?

8:48 pm

don't know, since italian good bye word is...

8:49 pm

rest when I'm tired...stay hydrated...eat more salt...basically listen to my body and not beat myself up when I can't Do it All

8:49 pm

I cannot find the second o word coming off of the left side of the grid :(

8:49 pm

I am struggling with those c words, ugh.

8:49 pm

I have the one related to the grain

8:50 pm

sounds like a good plan. you'll do better that way Krista.

8:50 pm

hey lisa

8:50 pm

Listening to your body is such an amazing tool, and so many people don't do it.

8:50 pm

STID!!! I have been looking for you on here...do you remember me?

8:50 pm

It's a Greek liquer..does that help?

8:50 pm

my old name was greengeeny :)

8:50 pm

yep. I DO remember you greeny! :-D

8:51 pm

thanks for the booze... *hic*

8:51 pm

how are you doing?

8:51 pm

i had to make a new account...I couldnt remember my old one and changed emails and stuff after the divorce lol

8:51 pm

Are you related to Mr. Green Jeans?

8:51 pm

I am great! On vacation this week. Took the boys to the waterpark today. We are all sunkissed and worn out :)

8:52 pm

I am not related to anyone on here that I know of Krista

8:52 pm

sounds nice.

8:52 pm

True, Molly! It's taken me a while to learn that lesson. But things are much better now for it.

8:52 pm

Krista, I think Lisa is too young to remember Mr GReen Jeans

8:52 pm

it was. I am so beat right now lol

8:52 pm

I remember him though! LOL

8:52 pm

Right, lol. I loved him.

8:53 pm

I have no clue who mr. green jeans is lol

8:53 pm

he was a character on Captain Kangaroo, Lisa -- my favorite, actually!

8:53 pm

Captain Kangaroo's friend. Yes, from the dark ages of kids tv.

8:53 pm

okay, help on the G in the right-hand lower corner please? for NBT

8:54 pm

she's too young for Captain Kangaroo.

8:54 pm

used to watch Captain Kangaroo and Romper Room when I was little. Sesame Street started a little later...

8:54 pm

He was my favorite, too! He was so lowkey. Why did we like him? Now I'm feeling nostalgic.

8:55 pm

I remember watching both of those. Miss Julie in romper room

8:55 pm

No. I remember captain kangaroo, but I was little when he was on. I loved romper room!

8:55 pm

Yep. Aw, Romper Room!

8:55 pm

I think because he was low-key. And he was always kind I think -- kids respond to kindness. My favorite favorite person from the old-time kid shows though was Mr. Rogers. I adored him, and adored him all over again when my kids were little.

8:55 pm

lower right hand g is ga4.6, stid

8:55 pm

can't be the ga, LBD *thinking*

8:55 pm

Ah, The Captain. I loved that show. I can still hear him reading the story about Ping the duck.

8:55 pm

good ole mr rogers..do you like my sweater? lol

8:56 pm

I read a WONDERFUL article about Fred Rogers the other day. I'll send it to you on FB later, Stid.

8:56 pm

Cap'n Kangaroo, Mr. Green Jeans and Mr. Moose!

8:56 pm

the best part was they were all made by his mother -- the love that went into them!

8:56 pm

i didnt get the booze clue either lol...is it a ou 4 word?

8:56 pm

thanks Krista!

8:56 pm

Ping pong balls!!!

8:57 pm

8:57 pm

Yes...ou + Bo** the clown (to name another oldie).

8:57 pm

ou + high-point tile + vowel Lisa

8:57 pm

yes, lisa. a greek alcoholic drink.

8:57 pm

got it...never heard of it lol

8:57 pm

If you Google "Greek liquor" it's the first hit that comes up.

8:57 pm

I think it is anise flavored? never tried it myself.

8:58 pm

Apparently Bo** terrified a lot of kids.

8:58 pm

i need to expand my drinking experiences obviously...become more renowned with international liquors :)

8:59 pm

Who came up with the thought that kids would like clowns, anyway? They are very scary.

8:59 pm

only had it once...vile, liquid fire!

8:59 pm

Blech, anise. Blech.

8:59 pm

clowns scare a lot of people, I like some clowns, but not all clowns.

8:59 pm

Clowns really creep me out. They all make me think of Pennywise.

9:00 pm

9:31 pm

just a way to measure success when there is not time for something bigger

9:31 pm

now you know!

9:32 pm

Like a foot obsession Nan, different next to the last consonant.

9:32 pm

;0

9:32 pm

ty molly

9:32 pm

thanks, molly

9:34 pm

Glad to help. : )

9:36 pm

finally! nbt! :) (yes, it took forever to find the correct e4...)

9:38 pm

wtg jes!

9:38 pm

okay i am off to juggle money in a meaningful manner.

9:39 pm

bye, jam! enjoy the flipping coinage :)

9:39 pm

fireworks

9:39 pm

yay doxy!

9:39 pm

I am tired. Night all.

9:40 pm

sleep sweet, doxy

9:40 pm

c's crushed

9:44 pm

the se6 that is the shortened african country is actually a plant, not a currency

9:44 pm

hello all...darn, missed jmc!

9:44 pm

hi jilly

9:44 pm

I was surprised at all the words that are names of places...

9:44 pm

hi jes!

9:44 pm

thanks dan :)

9:44 pm

Hi dan2 and doxy...whoops, niters doxy

9:44 pm

Thank you 2Bit. Now I will not lose sleep. : P

9:45 pm

Hi molly

9:45 pm

Hi Jilly.

9:46 pm

And I still say chai and thai are words darn it!!

9:47 pm

*!* ta da *!* -- not too bad once you have the list!

9:47 pm

yay nan!

9:48 pm

Woot Woot WooT Nan!!!

9:48 pm

They are words Jilly, Enable is so fickle.

9:48 pm

LOL...ain't that the truth!

9:48 pm

any clues wanted before I leave?

9:49 pm

Of course Enable allows some, how should I say it, X-rated words that others don't

9:49 pm

still got 39 words to find... a bit early for me to start asking for clues. thanks though :)

9:49 pm

brb

9:50 pm

back at the flip then :)

9:50 pm

bye nan, have fun :)

9:50 pm

And Enable doesn't allow many words that are playable in crossword puzzles. I find it weird that this game is still linked to such an outdated dictionary.

9:50 pm

i get frustrated with the animals that aren't allowable words.

9:52 pm

I guess if there were legit boundaries with this game, I would be okay. But guidelines like: Abbreviations are not playable, when DEMO is accepted really confuses me.

9:53 pm

and the random acceptance of welsh or scottish words.

9:53 pm

or latin and italian!

9:54 pm

Well that is another vague guideline: "foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary." What the hell does that mean? There are TONS of "foreign words that are accepted in these grids? Most of them currency words.

9:55 pm

or how many times are there words in the Enable resource that won't be accepted in grid?

9:57 pm

Or words that are accepted in the grid, and when you look up the definition it says "No results found".

9:58 pm

lol

9:58 pm

That's a real helpful vocabulary builder. : )

9:58 pm

Was informed by ex-hub today that my hone job is now being made redundant from end of this month. The redundancy payout, considering over 20 years working for him is laughable. I'm not laughing, though.

9:58 pm

*home job

9:58 pm

Aw Jac, sorry to hear that.

9:59 pm

Thanks, Molly. Can't really contest the payout since anything I get will come off my/our children's allowances.

Hi

Jac sue his ass.

10:00 pm

Well, it'll be 'fun', as a 54-year-old, looking for work in UK at the moment.

Then give it to the kids

10:01 pm

Jac, just keep believing that your next good thing is right around the corner. Thoughts become things.

p.s I think that people that do this to loved ones or once loved ones are ass hats

10:02 pm

Herin - there'd be no point. His lawyers are bigger than my lawyers.

Insert snarky remark

10:05 pm

Molly - I've always taken that stand over my life, but I think I may need to rethink that. It might have worked earlier, if I still ran a car, since a neighbour wants to reture and would have recommended me as her replacement. However, the job's too far away o make it worth taking.

Jac some people

10:08 pm

Herin - I assume exe's new wife has a hand in this. I'm sure she wants to stay accustomed to the life she's been living since she found my husband in a gym just after a marriage breaker had jammed her big shovel into the tiny crack in our marriage.

10:10 pm

And, of course, she's 'innocent' isn't she? It wasn't her that caused the breakup.

Yep. Sounds like it. (NOT)

10:10 pm

She was just 'there' was I was still too stunned to make a stand.

10:11 pm

*as not was.

10:12 pm

Was on phone; sorry Jacula about the news

10:13 pm

hi herin!

I did tell you how the human race disappoints me most days. Hi Jillyjill long time no see

10:13 pm

It'd be nice to have a £10,000 show kitchen, like she has, even though she doesn't cook. But there's no point in being bitter. I'll get a job, somehow, somewhere - can't rely on the writing, since i'm not JK Rowling, and writing doesn't bring the money in fast enough anyway.

10:14 pm

ac6 and 7 clues, please?

10:14 pm

It's okay JillyJill. Nothing you can do about it anyway.

10:15 pm

variation of the ac4/6, add one hump letter and vowel, then plural

10:15 pm

thanks, jilly

10:15 pm

Herin: been playing more intermittently..summer weather and work keeping me from being regular

10:15 pm

yw jes

10:15 pm

Actually, I got that wrong - I think the black marble work surfacs cost £10,000. The kitchen cost about £70,000 all told.

F me Jac that is obscene.

10:16 pm

I'd love a gourmet kitchen, but with hubby medically retired now that isn't likely to ever happen..*sigh*

10:16 pm

Herin - hat's more or less what I said, when I found out.

10:17 pm

The second wife always gets the goods...suppose she's, as we say here, a 'trophy' wife?

10:18 pm

But it doesn't matter that his first family might lose their hosue etc., so long as the show kitchen impresses the neighbours.

10:19 pm

Well Jilly, if me and my new man married, I'd be the 2nd wife, but there are no goods to get. We just about got by, until now.

10:19 pm

never does jac...that's the unfair part...priorities way off, my condolences...hope you can sue his a**

To put that in perspective my friends Mother had to borrow / obtain her sons inheritance (before Pa died) to pay for her sons $80 000 funeral

Hang on that is 70 000 pounds?

10:20 pm

Yup, Herin.

Ok I just feel of my chair

So for $103 000 AUSD this is so obscene

10:21 pm

I shouldn't be here. I'e had bad news, had a few drinks whilst I can still afford to...

Jac you will be fine. Feel free to bitch but bitch appropriately we will not judge you.

10:22 pm

Not sure if I can even afford the internet soon. Paying household bills ha to come first.

Jac you will be fine. It is funny we are as poor as church mice but we still get by. You just have to change the times you shop. It sucks ASS

And remember I am sending you a square of Toilet paper in a frame.

10:27 pm

Well, we found we can live on a lot less and still keeping internet

I am feral without the internet

10:30 pm

Love your music posts on FB Jac...did you see that Dan Peek (America) died?

Who is that Jac?

Soory JJ. I was yawning

10:34 pm

He led the band America (Horse with no Name, Ventura highway)

10:34 pm

brb

10:34 pm

that sucks

Oo :(

Sorry not familiar of the band but when you mentioned songs I knew what you meant. Hi Jes. How are you and the fur family?

10:36 pm

pretty good. foster dog going to new home tomorrow.

10:37 pm

I would have a hard time fostering...my heart would be too inclined to want to keep them!

Awwww, Couldn't do it as I would want to keep it.

10:40 pm

Plus I would wonder if they got good homes...

10:40 pm

eh. i'm a hard-hearted wench. I just give 'em away. ;)

Jill they go to good homes the adoption process is very strict

10:42 pm

Don't think you're hard hearted...takes a special person to do that!! jes

No you are not Jess :D. Hey have you heard anything about Dain at all?

Says Jess the hard hearted wench that smuggled a kitty into a human hospital to see if kitty was ok

10:44 pm

yeah, his adopters moved out of state, had to give the cat to their parents. now they want him back but the parents won't give him back. :)

Hehe. Is he all normal or still a little of centre?

10:45 pm

got a little squint, but otherwise good

10:45 pm

ge6,24 the last one?

Jilly Jes smuggled Dain into a human hospital as a kitten to see what was wrong with his brain, she used the human machines.

That squint is because his skull is off?

10:46 pm

yeah, cuz it was caved in behind the eye socket

:(

10:49 pm

I have the one that means clan--I'm missing the other too--my last word

10:49 pm

LOL, great job jes!!

10:50 pm

ge 4/6 + double vowel

10:50 pm

Hi Jellen!!

10:50 pm

the ge 6/24

10:50 pm

Hi, Jilly!

10:51 pm

thankee!

10:51 pm

are you looking for the first ge 6/24 or the second kateq

10:52 pm

the second one is the clue jellen gave

10:52 pm

I have the ge 6/24 that means clan

10:53 pm

then the clue is the one you are looking for...ge4/6 above the 6 and add double vowels to the end

10:53 pm

ah--found it--a hindu! who knew.

Jilly Dain is this cute grey cat.

10:54 pm

thanks!

10:56 pm

how fishy is on5/10?

Sorry can't help you Jes

10:58 pm

pretty fishy jes....

10:58 pm

I figured it was a cat herin

10:59 pm

Dain, a couple halloweens ago: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/ DraggonLaady/Pets/CIMG1799.jpg

10:59 pm

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/ DraggonLaady/Pets/CIMG1786.jpg

11:01 pm

Ok. Shall I show you my not so little baby born

boy. O and also question how old was Dain when he was snipped?

11:02 pm

sure

11:03 pm

i don't recall. probably 4 months? maybe 5 months?

We think ours was snipped to early. He is all long and lean and still has extra skin and big ass paws

This is Lucius last night: http://tinyurl.com/4xw8ark

11:05 pm

got a little tail twitch going on :)

Yep. He was getting irritated that I kept getting his tail out of my plate

Jess what pets do you have at the moment?

11:08 pm

Both or is that a lot?

11:08 pm

whee! fireworks :)

Yah Jes

11:09 pm

Hooray for jes!

11:10 pm

11:11 pm

temporary: 1 dog (has a home tomorrow) and 1 packrat

Chinnies are so freeking cute.

Poor kitty.

Awww. They are kinda cute.

11:13 pm

big ears :)

I would love a Chinchilla

11:13 pm

they don't like heat much

They are declared as rodents here so they are banned. Bloody stupid as we don't seem to have an issue with shipping sugar gliders OS to abusive homes

11:15 pm

sugar gliders aren't rodents though

No but they also shouldn't be pets.

11:16 pm

but they're so keeeeoooot!

So is starving animals to death.

11:17 pm

no, that's not cute at all

That is what happens to these little guys with idiots that don't know how to look after them same as hermit crabs

Sorry Sugar Gliders as pets is one of my pet hates

11:18 pm

hey, you saw my pictures from alaska, right?

11:18 pm
