Nice, flosey!

one of our local polititions (who switched parties but still didn't get in) is in the grid
wish I could remember which politician that was!
didn't run last time
first name
br6/30
oh yes, I remember now -- good person!
and our mode of transport
I saw that, flosey
I'm exhausted, maybe a cup of tea, brb
kitchen break here
back again
over halfway
wtg jilli
hi gain, flosey -- re we alone?
seems that way, strange
but there are 80 people here!
I should say listed - some just leave this on
and some just lurk
yes, that too
hi, havnt been here long, way busy trying to find at least one word for each tile
welcome to babble berri
thanks flosey
lurking here...!
hello davurs
hi flosey
hi berri and davurs

well, we three are in BC, berri, where are you?
ok, nice to see you davurs
hi jilli

oh, we have lots of babblers there
well done, davurs!
berri, do you know about Lickety's list?
yep, I play on and off, pretty much each school holidays
yep know about the list, can't finish without it
neither can I!
oh, what year at school, berri
no i'm a violin teacher, so work during the school terms, but home sick today
oh, lovely
Is this school holiday time in aus?
sorry to hear your ill, hope nothing serious
so berry you aren't fit as a fiddle?
just a cold, i thought babble might help take my mind off it for awhile
Babble can do that all right!
ah, hope it works
lucky this grid doesn't seem too tricky, concentration is not at it's best
berri, ruru will take your mind off in all directions at once!
15 left but got to get to bed. Happy babbling all. <Poof!>
lol jilli, and that's for sure
(hi ruru)
and where is he tonight?
hi jilli
gnight davurs -- I'll be off soon too with 38 left
oh, there you are
you missed my entrance flosey..lol
yes, must have been feeding my face!
I was watching the news on England.. it looks terrible
nasty stuff
sometimes I wonder if the Aztecs were right about 2012
that the world as we know it will end.
we'll soon know
Actually, the world as I knew it has already ended
??
hello
there have been so many changes, flosey, not all for the better
hello dear westford!
hi west
oh phooey my icon didn't change
hi sweet jilli what a nice greeting
I see it, cheddar popcorn
hi flosey ( not glosey )
I still see Stonehenge
your icon did change, west -- have to go out and back in.
lol, I had to click on it to see, west
okay
does anyone have a clue for the o
so, west, you and flosey are cheesy and I'm fruity. What will ruru make of that?
I refreshed
o + actress dunaway
well jilli, they go well together
hands westie a towell
berri, it's an insulting term for whites as used by blacks in the USA
my second fave is Cadbury Fruit and Nut Bar but I couldn't get both pics on at once
Hello babrab -- good to see you popping in
thanks ruru fingers do tend to get cheesy
hi and ty for the o bab
the only thing I can think of is honky, but that doesn't start with o. hmm thanks anyway
I never heard of that jilli
berri -- did you see BabbleRabble's clue at 1:35?
thanks
jilli and flosey have either of you ever read the book by Cornelia Otis Skinner about her grand tour? I loved that book and I can google it but I'm not sure of the title
oh I think I just remembered..Our Hearts Were Young and Gay
think i might take a break. see you all later
I remember her name, west -- may have read the book. Google may know the title.
no, I haven't west, but am back to reading, at long last
it was a time gone by like Jilli said
bye berri -- I'll be in bed later -- it's nearly midnight here.
a fun easy read
hi and bye berri see you in a bit
it does sound good, west -- must check the library for it.
reading Marley and Me right now
didn't they make a movie of that?
flosey it's about a dog?
That title would be taken otherwise nowadays, west!
I wouldn't know, don't see many movies west
yes, and it's a hoot
I know jilli
Marley could give classed in Disobedience School
yes, that's for sure
he was expelled from his first class
we rent movies on Netflix too expensive to go to the theatre now
and I can watch in my bathrobe
oh no sounds pretty funny
well, hate to admit it, we have a vcr but don't know how to hook it up
oh brother flosey you should have had your grandson do it
still using videos
flosey, VCRs are antiques now.
well, at least my son!
ah yes, that's what I use, what is the one you play dvds on
no, kids know more about those things the younger the better
a dvd player
I can play dvds on my computer but don't like to watch a movie here
VCRs play tapes, not DVDs
we have so many vhs tapes and I hate to just throw them away
and you can't even rent tapes anymore!!
I wish you lived closer flosey I'd give them all to you
ah, thanks west
beans.. I'm stuck
I really don't watch much tv - it's downstairs (which isn't a basement)
how far did you get ruru?
I have 20 left right now
we watch a lot of PBS
me too ru
me too, and some are really precious, like an interview of Margot Fonteyn (née Peggy Hookham) where she talks about the school we both went to in Shanghai and our dragon headmistress, Miss Fleet. Margot/Peggy was before my time there.
oh she was such a beautiful dancer jilli
we saw her and Nureyev on film in Mississippi
MS television had bass fishing
She was tiny -- I met her in Montreal and we shook hands. Hers was about half as wide as mine, and I'm not exaggerating.
I saw Nureyev in SF once.
wow jilli, and you have small hands
lucky duck ruru
This was after a live show in Montreal -- a reception.
I love ballet
I like all kinds of dance
ballet is wonderful though
very late flip! hi all.
I used to, west -- don't get to see much any more -- not the beautifully staged kind.
hi m9
hello m
I love dance -- and dnan cing
I mean dancing
daughters both took lessons, Alley switched to jazz but Sandy kept on with it even after stopping the lessons, used it as exercise
(I made those letters dance around, didn't I!)
funny story..when I was about 6 I decided I would become a word famous ballerina so I got a book from the library and taught myself the 5 positions and a few more things
lol
of course I never told my parents
wow good for you west
I took ballet lessons when I was in my 20s -- a bit late!
we were not allowed to dance - dumb dumb dumb
I took piano lessons
never too late..well it is for me
I took tap lessons.. it was pretty much a disaster
I took piano too, didn't get past grade 6 though
flosey, you sure had a limiting upbringing -- thank goodness you shed it!
we should put on a talent show
you bet, jilli, it was really stupid
ruru, I had tap lessons one summer when I was 8.
flosey everyone I know who has taken ballet has such a graceful beauty
I was in my twenties jilli
it didn't go well
you could have been Michael Flatley if you kept it up ruru
if we have a talent show I'm not dancing!LOL
I may sing for you all though
more like Michael Flatface
would love to year you M9
I really loved the ice dancing lessons I took in my 20s too -- a yummy teacher-guy gave me extra attention {bats eyelashes}
no rap m okay
my son says that music is like candy...
my son says that music is like candy...
are you a pretty good skater jilli?
you're supposed to throw away the rappers!
beware the approaching hiccup break
naughty Jilli

good one m !!
*groan*
m how are your kids?
great!
do you get to see Aiden often?
went and saw the married one a couple weeks ago. I'm going to be a grandma!
west, I haven't had skates on in years, never was very good. I got up to doing some silver level dances with this guy to hang onto. Then we moved from Toronto to Montreal where there were no classes, boohoo.
no. was first time since they were married
ah, lovely m9
congrats, m9 -- not that you were the cause of that, lol!

E is at girl's camp this week
fourth year.. high adventure. She was pretty excited they're doing horses!
sounds perfect !!
remember Spin and Marty? The boys camp was across the lake
ha. as the girls were waiting in the parking lot they were talking about how there'd been a boy at camp last year.. a 6 year old who was there for part of one day with his grandpa!LOL
I bet they all loved him
at least the ones that had little brothers
one of the leaders was talking about how much the girls had packed and saying they didn't need makeup..LOL
too true
what's the average age?
I don't have a printer at my house or I would have printed this out for Elina to read to them in the car: http://ajadedperspective.blogspot.com/ 2010/02/scout-camp-vs-girlscamp.html
your daughter is such a natural beauty..they both are
girl's camp is 12 to 18 year olds

good morning?
morning ruby
hello carlee. How are you doing?
someone turned off the heat over here..i woke up cold
how about u ruby?
it is really cold here, too, 11C this AM; it feels like Oct not Aug
its 60 F here..when u are used to sleeping in 80+ weather...60 is freezing
it hasn't been hot here, but 11 (approx 50F - too lazy to do the math) is very cold
it hasn't been hot here, but 11 (approx 50F - too lazy to do the math) is very cold
16 ish is 60F
we had a month of hot...days over 100 F ( 35+ c) and nights of 80+ ( 28C )
in the 14 summers we've been here, there has never been a day over 100, maybe 8 or 10 over 90 each year, but that's all. Whata pleasure after hot, sticky Miami
( nbt/nbs in 21)
we are hot sticky miami for 1 month....temperate and nice for a month on either side of that..and then cool nights warm days for a month on either side of those 3....
that is impressive
I have 46 words but no nbt
then snowy and cold and miserable for the other 7 months
this year, we hardly had any snow, only one big storm in Dec. Then warm and dry through the rest of the winter and spring
we had a very long winter...started in oct...lasted until mid may
that's tough. I only mind humidity but otherwise, it is mostly dry and beautiful here
it was atypical for us...snow usuallys ets in about mid nov....and is usually gone mid to late march
do you have the right-hand r for nbt?
nm, monkeyed it
after u wash with soap u ri4 ( minus the typical last silent letter)
greyed the right-hand column yay
ty
yay
almost half! after almost 2 years, I am not much better at this except for the few babblets I've learned
how long have you been playing?
hmmm...5 or 6 years now...off and on...i get tired of babble and disappear for a few weeks...
especially if i am stupid enough to do a big grid...400+ word and finish... i am guarenteed gone for a couple of months
I start the grid every day, but rarely finish and then, only with help from my friends who push me over the last few words
and with fb....i have a few babble friends i talk to there....so if am in my " bored of babble" i still keep in touch
( half way now)
I don't use FB very much any more except for lexulous
bravo on half!
i use fb alot... but i have alot of friends who have scattered tot eh breeze and we have reconnected through fb
I like seeing photos of my son's band on FB; if you "friend" me, I'm Nancy Kelley and he's teh chubby white guy on the left in the band
friended :)
thank you
I had to refresh twice to go out and in; this computer keeps getting stuck!
i cant find the pics of ur son tho...i saw the ones of you and the ones of the puppy ( so cute)
the shepherd-looking dog is a malinois and belongs to the local restaurant. He's my "boyfriend"
( i have loads of pics posted... kids...food... storms.. the dog...the cats...old house..new house )
I ----------------------will look for the pix later
nope, just a blonde furry fellow playing with a flat ball and layingon the lawn with you
that's not my son!
( I think you need to accept the friend request before i can see more pics?)
I tried
hmmmmm no idea then
NOW i can see your son's band :)
got it!
and the other puppy is very cute
ruby is the blonde, max is the black one in my icon
ruby is very cute
they are not so young, 8 1/2 and 7 1/2, respectively
I can't see what I type!
ruby is the love of my life' I love Max, too, but he's autistic and a little bit strange
my son said photographing Max was like photographing sasquatch; he had to hide in the shrubbery
i love all my furbabies
how many do you have?
and names?
my dog does not like to cooperate on the photography thing yet...maybe he is too young yet???? and i have 2 black cats..they are hard to photograph as you cant see definition..they just look like blobs
like Max hahah
i have 3 cats, kiki ( a tabby norwegian forest cat who is 8 or 9 now ), monkey/ tellie ( a mink coloured norwegian forest cat 5 ), Boo ( black oriental polydactyl SD who is 4 ) and Panzer ( 18 or 19 week old black german shepherd)
my husband had a shepherd named Pan\zer, before we met
that is what you said the other day....my son was nicnamed Tank when he played hockey..other boys would try to take him out with a hit but they would end up falling down as he was so solid on his feet..then he got bigger and became more of an enforcer....( there was one year there were 3 taylors on his team...hense the need for a nicname )....so when he got the shepherd... panzer was the name before we even had him
panzer is up to 60 pounds now... his daddy is 110 and mommy is 85
his front paws are bigger than my fist...
there is apic of him sleeping on my sofa with his head on his stuffy ducky that quacks
I thought that was a mad coincidence, 2 dogs in a week named panzere! duh me!
hehehe... funny
now it all comes back. If I don't write things down, it is hard to keep track!
( my panzer is the BIGGEST sucky boy...so gentle...)
I have to shut down my computer because it is very annoying but I enjoyed our chat and look forward to seeing your pix on FB! 93 words, BTW (pchuffeed
that was supposed to be chuffed!
i am going to try for more sleep is only 4:30 am... and 94 words :)
bye for now
byebye ruby :)
hah, 94!!!!!
ha 5/14 clue please
I have ha 5/14 as in bad weather, a very ha*** winter, maybe? rhymes with a wetland area, ma***)
not the best of clues, sorry
Thanks - got it
evening all :)
wow. no one around still
morning, all!
OMG! usue his here!! hi (Hugs), very quiet tonight
hi, mrp! At my dad's for a few days, with my son
how lovely usue!! hope you are having fun!
we are - it's been quite relaxing!
did you have your day in court yet, or is that next week?
next week darling... in 5 days
ah, well, will be thinking of you!! I'm sure things will go well for you.
they sure will :) thanks sue!
where are you at? where does dad live?
hello again
93 words this AM
he lives in New Jersey, about a day and a half drive from us
hi ruby :)) *hugs*
hi, ruby!
that is a long way!
a day and a half for us is 2000km
with breaks of course
just picked more blackberries -- purple fingers and broken back!
i luv mulberries!
mmm, not quite that far, it's about 14 hours driving if we go straight through but I am too old for that any more! maybe 800 miles, 1300 km
my missing wedding ring, lost since January, was just found by my new housekeeper! yay
are they a local company that allows you to pick them?
yay,ruby!!! that is so great!!!!
hi all
still no tim tams for periwinkle
oh ruby!! how wonderful! that would have been so upsetting not having it all that time!
no, mrsp, in my garden. Tons of tomatoes and blackberries
hi peri!! any timtams??
hi, peri!
I would think that a 14-hr drive would be peanuts in |Australia!
ah sue! that is a 12 hour drive for us!
no
it is ruby! LOL
visiting the neighbours! LOL!!
peri, I am pissed off now.....
hello peri, for once we're on at the same time!
will be sending them again, and if they don't get to you, your post office is stealing
speed limits are lower here, also we ran into some very nasty rain, and also some road construction that slowed us down
Good day to all.
hi scrabs!
Are you still in NJ, Sue?
I never called the insurance company as I was sure it was lost in the house -- or, that it cgot thrown away
we can go real fast. so we get there I guess, in a better time
well,may be I will end up with two packs of tim tams :)
I am, scrabs, won't leave until Saturday when we will head your way :-)
even better peri!! but if you don't get it, put in a formal complaint
I can't see what I'm typing (for a change); I don't know what's wrong with my computer
i have it all documented that it left this country
Sue, I'll e-mail you later. I forgot to decide where we will meet in Ellicottville. Duh.
The chat doesn't show for you, Ruby?
no problem, we will figure it out I am sure :-)
nothing I typ0e shows for me. I sent Sue a totally incomprehensible e-mail the other day; it's embarrassing
Do you see a cursor?
It shows up long after I've gone on to the next thing
ruby, time to get the puter to a technician!
actually it was perfectly comprehensible, and considerably more coherent than many emails I get from my students :-)
that is kind, sue, but I am too old to be writing such mesme**y letters
or the technician to my computer
that was supposed to be me**y!
well, if you can't see what you are writing, I can see how it would be difficult! I have enough trouble when I *can* see what i have done...
oh, and nbt for me (although I had to look up the stats for the W)
it is very annoying and too abstract for pragmatic me!
ruby, lickety is helpful with things like that
At 60/84 I am saying good-bye. Must leave for the office. Enjoy the day everyone.
99 words and I'm going to shut down and hope for the (unwritten and unseen) best
bon retour, sue
and bye everybody else
see you soon ruby
see ya scrabs!
please put him on the next plane; I'll feed him fresh stuff from the garden
*poof*
bye, scrabs!
peri, you still here??
and bye, ruby!

whoohooo - NBT and NBS in 28 words - good morning everyone
mornin babblers
morning river and eva :)
how are you mrp
how are we today?
I am great and you Eva - hows Dad?
improving! they moved him out of the ICU into a regular room yesterday. hes on a liquid diet + has been sitting in a chair.
what did he have done
ummm... had his life saved?
I think I was on vacation so did not hear what was wrong
ahh. he started hemorrhaging sunday night. lost over half his blood.
spent all day monday trying to figure out where he was bleeding from.
oh eva!! that is distressing news! so so sorry!
OMG - did they find where
they were surprised he was alive and shocked that he was conscious
they finally diagnosed him with Diverticulosis
river, I spent the afternoon sleeping after eating a 'bad' hotdog from my son's school, wasn't pretty!! But my son's project went so so well!! Will post it on youtube.
did he have alot of pain in his stomach before that
thank goodness eva that they are taking all the care they can now they are certain of the diagnosis
the project that is, not the vomiting :))
yay for your son - boo to the bad hotdog - glad you are feeling better
surprisingly, no. he didnt present the usual way. he was fine on saturday, and on sunday, he complained that he didnt feel well, but nothing in particular. there was one area that was sore if you pressed on it, but that was it.
that disease can be nasty - will have to watch his diet
he already did, for various reasons. had not, not actually DID it...
well sorry to hear he went through all of that but glad he is on his way to mending - what a scare for all of you
hi, river and eva!
good morning sue
eva, I am so glad to hear your dad is ok! That was a very scary few days!!
its been a very stressful week. i was afraid we were gonna lose him.
mom told him he wasnt allowed to kick off until after the 16th -- tuesday is their 50th anniversary. :)
50 years is quite an accomplishment
indeed.
congratulations to them
happy anniversary to them!!! 50 years is amazing!!
25 years this past Monday for me - cant believe I hadnt killed him yet...lol!
we are supposed to be having a luncheon/party for them next saturday. hopefully he is home by then!
you can always postpone until he is - will keep our fingers crossed for you
congratulations to you too, river!
thanks sue - hubby and my daughter are leaving today for Montreal - father/daughter trip before she leaves for college
oh, Montreal is really nice! I hope they have a wonderful time.
I havent been there for years and years and then it was only to drink....will go back some day to adventure. My daughter has always wanted to go and explore the art museums and buildings. I am sure they will have fun.
and it is only about 4 hours from us.
30 left - time for breakfast - bbl
bye, river!
Hi
hi, herin!
How you?
good! my son and i are visiting my dad for a few days
we will visit scrabbler on the way home, too :-)
and yourself?
good morning everyone:)
Hi All!
morning, hego and crossy!
How is the grid?
Don't know
HOw you all going?
not bad so far but I just hit half way
I'm good Herin
I am organising B>fs birthday present
doing fine,but the tim tams took a beating last night..only 3 left:)
ooh, nice, herin! Want to tell us what it is? :-)
Happy b'day to him
they must be tasty, crossy!
they are soooo good;)
Possible Nobu or Vue De Mond
Oh my goodness, I thought he was talking about a sports team. lol
Cross you piggie
small package herin,not but 12 cookies:(
and i shared:)
I can only eat two of them
hmm good morning
Hi Good
Hi GE
i had 3,son had 3,wife had 3..son had his with 2 scoops of french vanillia ice cream
Ah, sweet indulgence.
I am trying to find a decent resturant
not always easy herin
probably old news to a connoisseur like you crossy but i saw chicken fried bacon on man vs food last night and, of course, thought fondly of you
I saw someone use bacon paste in a marinade!
Hego it is deficult when everything is so damn expensive
Also thought of Crossy.
Herin, yes, the good ones often are.
do you have to deal with finding something to satisfy the rest of the family?
me no? just us
chicken fried bacon...ewww
for us it's not just where and the money but who will eat where and do we want to pay for something they won't enjoy
really cross? i thought maybe you'd be intrigued.
It is just the two of us
lol,i have some scruples.heck as of last week i even started cooking the stuff:)
lol
But as it is winter and a monday the choices are slim
damn. just commented on facebook under my son's name instead of mine. hate that.
what are these tim tams of whichyou speak?
Hi
TO they are biscuits from Aus
and they have in in canada as well?
Ask Crossie
Are they choclit?
They are available in October from Peppermint Ridge but they are cookies and a bad make of the Aus ones
and yes they are
sounds yum. :-9
Link to Tim Tams...http://tinyurl.com/3bbpwfc
hi hego
Yes they are but I don't eat a lot of store bought cakes and biscuits
Hi again TO
Do not buy these though:http://tinyurl.com/44u46k9 They are yuk
Oooooo. They sound delish!
My g.f has had both and they are not good
going festing, bye all.
Must go now. bbl
If you have an international food store in your area, you might find them there. Ours sells them, but they are pricey.
bye
Bye then
festing?
see profile.
Sounds fun TO
nbt finally
NBT and NBS
same here, molly -- World Market here in Nashville sells them, and apparently on occasion they've even been spotted at Target! LOL
reading up on the aussie postal rule and i think i can send mrp some of our delish canadian grade #1 maple syrup
Ooooooooooooooooooo drool
as long as it is in a commercial container and pasteurized ,i think i am good to go
crossy, i think that's a GREAT idea!
just no open meat,seeds,plants,articles made from animal or insects etc
yeah, same as US
there is a local brand here that comes in a lovely glass bottle in the shape of a maple leaf i think that shall be the one
years ago, my ex MIL (unbeknownst to me) snuck a big saucission in the middle of a box of books I was bringing from France to the US -- got confiscated in NY and she went NUTS! LOL
*saucisson
what is a saucisson?
she went nuts? i would be mad at losing my books
oh, no, I got the books -- but they removed the saucisson :-)
like salami
ahh and what is this item?
ahh
good morning, and Une you are making me laugh - did you ever see the I Love Lucy episode where she brings a cheese home from Italy, wrapped up as a baby in a blanket? hysterical - you could have tried that with the saucisson
of course, I snorted with glee, as I had told her I would NOT take food for her! LOL
lol,a bouncing baby saucion
when they discover it, Ricky stands up and loudly exclaims, "I am not the father of that cheese!"
LOL!!!
now smuggling cheese..i can understand
is that a saucisson or are you just glad to see me . . .
I have a cheese story too -- she sent us a goat cheese that arrived while we were at work -- sat in full sun at our front door -- when we got home . . . wowser, you could smell it a mile away!!
when I visited my father's family in Sicily, they tried to send me home with fresh homemade ricotta salata in my suitcase, I had to refuse, and I know their feelings were hurt, they were sure no one would notice - but you could smell it a mile away!
my lady once wanted a 7 inch saucisson,but i do not cut 2 inches off for anyone...
hi all
snap, Une - !!!
JBV LOL!!!
hey, carlee :-)
howdy carlee,just in time for food smuggling tips
yay...no travel plans but ok
My pal was stopped in geneva airport cos she had a big raclette cheese that looked like a bomb in her case
back in a mo *poof*
concepta, that's hilarious!
The scan looked like a big round ball with a few cables sticking out of it....like something you'd see on Tom and jerry or the old cartoons
Having maned an xray machine similar to the airport. It was funny
Morning all

I don't have shares as I think the concept is bloody stupid
dow is currently up 221
gold shed amost 20 dollars though:(
just a larger form of gambling is all,just like lottery tickets..well other than forward speculators,insider trading and price fixing lool
I have never under stood shares.
stocks,bonds,commodoties,then there is forex that deals in global currency class a shares(voting) class b shares(non voting)
after that it gets real complex
oohhh, my spam is getting more diverse -- WAS just getting offers for dates with Christians and black men --just got an email re Asian men! LOL
the average joe is best to have around 100 though in a diversified protfollio of a total of 20 stocks and or bonds(60% bonds,40% stock) and maybe a few commodoties such as gold and silver certificates

statistical oddity today...the number of points is exactly 10 times the number of words

lol, une, I have had lonely wives trying to hook up with me for a while now :-)
I always had deperate housewives ... LOL
i have won the british lottery at least 2 dozen times it seems
Or is that Desperate Housewhores?
thats it herin...I cant type today
also, the FBI wants to give me money, or at least wants me to know that the Nigerians wanting to give me money are on the up and up :-)
i send back a form letter telling them my uncle lives in london and if they like he can take the tube over and get the sash for me:))))

O great now the cat's are at it
lol,one time the address they gave was less than a block from my uncles place,so i got him on skype and asked if he would go there,just for laughs.turns out it was a boarded up laudromat
hello everybody
(((RUBY)))
HI Ruby long time no see
hello herin
good news, everybody, the new housekeeper found my wedding ring which has been missing since January when husband was in hospital
O that is great
she was "deep cleaning" the dying washing machine
{{herin}}
{{crossy}}
I thought it had been accidentally thrown away and have been sick about it all these months
I called a groomer today to ask if he washed chow chows and he said we had to bring the dog in for an "estimate". Right!
Ruby I lost a pendant for 4 years and found it in a box. I screeched very loudly when found
so you know the feeling, herin!
O yes. This was very special to me too
OK you know you shop at Ikea too much when you notice a generic store with no name is Ikea on the tv
hahah, herin
this is another caca grid: sh4** and plural and sh5 and plural and adjective
did I kill the chat?
Sad much Ruby considering it is London Ikea on TV
has the rioting stopped? I haven't seen any news today?
No idea not looking
Yet these idiots are costing $200 million plus in damage
right off again
bye
byes
good afternoon all
Hi Sprite, Ruby, Herin
hey Molly
Good afternoon all. The idiots burning cars got within a hundred yards of my son's house on Tuesday night. The rain and local opposition have now dampened the enthusiasm of yobbos in (designer) hoodies. I feel so sorry for those people in London who have lost everything and were jumping out of windows to escape the fires.
hi scouser, indeed
It's a very sad situation with selfishness running rampant.
Hello sprite and MollyL. Too right. One caller on the radio suggested paintball tactics - anyone know of a really indelible dye that would penetrate fleece? Aha - sheep dip? Can you spray it?
good idea
Yes sheep dip mixed with some really girlie perfume might mark them sufficiently for the cops' dogs to find them out. I also suggested that during the day, when these yobbos must be resting, that the rest of the populace makes as much noise as possible.
I wouldn't be surprised if people start taking matters into their own hands. The police seem to be very ineffective.
that would be a very bad thing
cops are eventually going to have to play hardball over there and kick some ass
hey crossy
howdy sprite:)
kick ass but try to avoid creating martyrs
hi all
hey sue
i say start with 90 days in jail for the prime offenders,toss the 18-25 year old hooligans in general population right beside the mass murderers
clue for the lone r & I for nbt and nbs
for the i: electrically charged particles
Lone r...what you do after the wash cycle, minus last vowel
and which lone R?
oh duhhh
the other one, ty anyway
...its the rh bird
rh4.5 is the other one
hi doseffing
ty all
yvw
.. sorry its not a bird ... just looked it up ... but it is rh
nbt and going for a last interview for teaching at the college today at 4:30

best friend sms's me (text by mobile) to pick up her sick daughter from school. SO... I do that... to discover she needs to be hospitalised and I spend 6 hours there with her, having tests, hissy fits, major issues with needles etc... and her mother (my best friend) doesn't come to the hopsital!!
oops!! please throw me a timtam!!
well, clearly, MrP you dont have enough stress and drama to deal with, right?

am praying that peri gets her timtams today!!
you will get it,i checked right with the aussie customs and postal
crossy, when you do the timtamslam... only sip a little of your coffee/tea through it, and then have the whole biscuit!!
crossy, I have to pay $50 to get it through customs
you sent me the tim tam cookies not the straws.but still very tasty
reallyh? good lord
go to my profile and check out the slam details crossy!
yeah, sorry crossy, they don't tell you that in your postage info
hi all. Making my shaky way out of bed after 3 days with bladder infection with high fever.
we have to pay for the 'food product' to be irradiated
these tim tams are a 3 layer dark chocolate buscuit..but we had them with a sccop of french vanillia ice cream

ohh..crossy has been a naughty boy mrp...
it is a winner mich
hi again, all!
hi sue!! enjoying daddy time?
sorry, Croatia, not Ukraine
can I lean on you all about the last two days???
yes, although I have decided this family is involved with way too many lawyers
Rafael Nadal is out at the Rogers Cup after a shocking 1-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5) defeat in the second round against Croatia’s Ivan Dodig on Wednesday night. With the tiebreaker in the final set tied 5-5, Dodig—ranked 41st in the world—ripped a 135 miles-per-hour ace past Nadal, then finished the upset by hammering a backhand that the second-ranked Spanish star couldn’t handle. “This is the greatest moment of my life,†Dodig said.
vent your spleen mrp..we are here for you
fire away, mrp!
shite une!~! that is a crapper.
back in a mo *poof*
so.... I get a text from friend asking me to take her daughter home from school cause she isn't well. I get to school, having delivered my daughter... and she is in great discomfort. Principal asks that I get her to a doc. I agree and take her. Doc says, take her to hospital now!
I try to call my friend during trip to hospital, no answer, BUT, she is texting her daughter
sooooooo, after about 4 hours, and terrible ''issues'' with her daughter's fear of needles etc... she can't be touched in elbow, groin, neck or wrist area... we get IV's into her
where is mom? she is coming over right?
... and then the tests come. I text my friend, in fear of calling her and screaming down the phone "GET THE F*** OVER HERE AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR DAUGHTER CAUSE SHE NEEDS YOU!. She texts back... be there before 3pm... just before her tests. So, at 4pm... and during her tests which take an hour, my friend turns up with a posse of friends
... I'm still amazed that the school lt you take the kid out! ... not here unless the parent has sighned a note saying you have permission ... or they know you really, really well ...
she gave the school permission for me to take her daughter
... that's "let" and "signed" ... typing lesson at 3 this afternoon
and they know me really really really well!
I cannot imagine not wanting to be RIGHT THERE, RIGHT NOW if my son were taken to hospital!!!
I have had her kids in my care many times
... over the phone? ... okay ...
i know usue!! isn't that the biter??
I signed her out at the school dos
the principal was ontop of me to get the girl out of the school. and her mother had informed them I was taking her
... but they recognized the mother's voice (probably had her number on the dialer ... okay) ...
soooo, I text her... get your ass here now!!
dos, they know me, know I have foster cared these kids, know everything... very long story
i let nothing et in my way if one of my family has been taken to hospital..work or anything else be damned
... sorry for interrupting ... ... it wouldn't happen like that here ... continue
she say... will be there 2.30pm.... in she waltzes, at 4.30pm, dressed to the 9's!! she had to stop off home and change after work!!
I only THEN find out she is homeless, living out of a hotel!!
oh my gosh, mrp!!!
She is blazee about it all... doesn't even greet her daughter!! I am just reeling by now! been there 5 hours!! she could have left work, but didn't think 'it was serious, this has been going on for weeks'
it's been going on for weeks and she hadn't seen to it??
so what was the diagnosis on the child?
so, I collect myself.... put on my professional face (with yellow and red cards in mind) and take it on.
her daughter is IN the exam room for ultrasound when her mother walks in... what do you think she says???
remember, this child is in enormous pain and panicking.
she says, "I better not see a baby in there." WELL! I pull her toward me and hiss at her (yep, like a snake) "shut your smart mouth and open your heart and intelligent brain right now!!" I realise, she doesn't know HOW to sympathise with her children!
... I knew I sshould have said that
THEN!!!!! READY????
here it comes...
she tells me she has to go help 'JOHN' move boxes and can I look after her kid... she will be back in an hour.... this is 5pm
!
mrp, I am so glad this child has you for a friend. Is she okay?
that woman doesn't deserve to be a mom
She didn't come back until 9am the next morning... and complaining about how she had to cancel work and her exhusband and her boyfriend and everything else under the sun!! I look at her daughter, who just rolls her eyes. I find out she has her operation at 10.30am and I make sure she goes down with her to the surgery
... yeah ... but she's not unique ...
Hello :)
what is her diagnosis?
She has appendicitis and possible cycts in the ovaries... they do a bit of an exploration.
I got to go to an appointment at this stage, one that I can't get out of... but only 15 minutes away.
so ........
after the appointment, I go back to the hospital, just to make sure her mum IS there, cause she is texting me that she has to go do all this other stuff, blah, blah, blah... and I text her back saying 'I WILL see you at the hospital at midday. you be there'.
i tell her, you have to be here for when she comes out of surgery... they take you down to recovery when they start to wake up so they have you there and taking care.....
we get down there at 12.30pm... my friend is so over the top... laughing, telling jokes (obviously not coping), and the nurse tells her to take a chair and pull it to the bed and try and keep it down to a whisper.
good thing you were there to teach her how to be a parent as she seems to have missed that class
Chelsea (her daughter) comes around... and she just sits there... says nothing. Chelsea looks at me and says "Michelle?? Can I have some water, my throat hurts".
I then 'nicely' leaned in and told my friend how to get up, stroke her daughter's hair and talk softly to her to soothe her.
W. T. F. ??
perhaps this "mother" is a drug addict? a brain injury perhaps?
not at all crossy... she is a teatotter and never even had a headache tablet.
she is just... i am not sure what to say!??
not wired to be a parent i suppose
ok, she is clueless
... a selfish selfcentred bitch
crossy, I adore her, she is a great woman; funny, works hard, makes huge effort to 'keep' her children... but she has no idea how to luv them! I didn't know this of her... and I should have known cause I have had her kids live with me during 'turbulent' times. I now see the light
yes dos....
Mr. Pres... her parents may have never shown her love and affection so she dosen't know what to do
sometimes i think you should have to be liscensed to be a parent
is a sad situation. I wish she would take her eppervescent personality and use it to help her kids
jindigo, i can't see it from her parent's... have met them, they seem 'normal' and nice... but I didn't grow up in her house
... any school teacher from any level can tell you that they see these kids every day ...
well,i try not to judge people cause i have not yet judged myself.perhaps this medical scare will bring them closer
so, it was just a race against time for me to make sure she was there for her daughter after surgery... was incredible that she just didn't want to deal with it... and I was mentally challenged by it all!! (if I could LOL right now, I would, but don't think it is right)
sounds like a chaotic 24 hours for you mrp:(
was then up till midnight helping Luke with a PIP project... got it all done, had to wake up at 5am to finish it and still he was late to school. He took me to the canteen at morning tea and I made the mistake of having food from there! Went home, was very sick and slept the whole afternoon.... GUESS WHAT I MISSED OUT ON DOING FOR MY HUSBAND! (feeling like a shithouse wife).......
He had an important interview yesterday morning (is now Friday morning) at 10.15am... then had surgury.... I missed out on talking to him. I missed out on seeing him... I missed out on being there for him... I missed out on everything for HIM!
so, that is my story, and glad I got it out
{{{{{mrp}}}}}
hubby had surgery? for what?
I just suck
you do not
crossy, yes I do
I am a sucker, and a suck
have a nap..get yourself done up and go see him.he will not berrate you
mrp, you are so generous!!! there is nothing sucky about that!!!
waiting for the fallout of all this.
love is more than that,you were busy helping a friends sick child
I was 'busy' taking care of someone elses business
what a friggin joke
you were helping a child in need
no one can call that a waste of time
you husband will understand
if you all don't mind... just need to take 5 and cry into a pillow. will be all better (well, almost) after that
... lesson 1 ... You cannot save the world ... you can only try ... that's all you have to do ... ... thus you don't suck
take 5 and stop beating yourself up over it.you helped a child
yes - and it sounds like the child REALLY needed you!! so it was wonderful that you were there for her
indeed
... lesson 2 ... if you'll do this for someoneelse's kid ... he can feel confident that you do 10 times this much for your own ... ... strength #2
anyone who can put their lives on hold to help another in distress is blessed
... lesson 3 ... all things in moderation ... including moderation ... ... yes, help out all you can ... ... but realize that at some point you have to step back and look after yourself and your own
if i were lickety,i would be proud to call you my wife
now,go make a cuppa tea,call hubby and share love and be calm in the fact you helped annother
fireworks!
yaa for sue!
and I didn't even need morewords :-)
thats my girl!
although I did need lickety, would be lost without him!
we would all be lost without lickety..well other than those strange people at the flip who finish grids in 30 min or less lol
... at 12:45am CST
i used to be there at the flip - was i strange? but i have never finished a grid in 30 minutes, Morning all.
lool howdy onyx
brb..semi-poink
hey cross
ok, thanks ... back... I found some naughtiness and some more naughtiness... poor lickety is recovering from little op today
dos, i finish the grid then... but AEST!
hi onyx! long time!! **hugs**
... as a wise (or idiotic ... depends on perspective) parent ... I can't get my own kid to bed before 2 in the morning ... even though it's hurting her ... ... so I won't even ask why you're still up at 2 in the morning
back at ya mr p
had food poisoning, slept for 6 hours... got up at 8pm... will go sleep soon though
(((mrp)))
have to be up at 6am to do roast turkey, then go sleep again... get back to 'normal' after that
hope lickety will feel okay!
roast turkey? is it a holiday?
... no comment ... I'm scared about my daughter when she goes off to university in three weeks (even though she won't be an hour away by car) ... because she'll stay up too late ... be too tired to function properly
... you promise it's "normal"? ... okay then
doseffing, if she does, then she will learn (as I and so many others do) what her limits are and what she needs to do to stay healthy and get good grades
no stid, we don't do turkey roast holidays, is just a normal meal
our younger son is a "night owl" like your daughter and does just fine -- as long as he sleeps in on occasion!
dos... as normal as I can be :))
wow mrp :-D it must be nice to live in your house! (I love roast turkey!)
Turkey? at this time of year?
... been hoping for that for four years of high school ... hasn't worked yet ... she's an outstanding student ... but being tired she gets obsessive and extremely depressed ... ...
we don't get your luvly turkeys! we get frozen breast rolls and have them every three months or so
dos, your daughter should meet my daughter
ah. we can get fresh turkey but it will cost you. the deals are in november. plenty of frozen birds, but i'm spoiled.
I had this boyfriend that only slept 4 hours a night.... he is now my age and still only sleeps 4 hours a night... but he was a very 'high' person, naturally
or my son. who is still in bed' even though he has things to do.
we pay about $15 a kilo of turkey breast... is cheap compared to lamb and beef!
... seen that every day this summer
I am a person who really needs at least 9 hours a night to function. If I try to go on 7 hours or less for an extended period I get pretty cranky.
that's why i try to eat veggies. i'm getting priced out of the meats
too right stid! 7 hours is my limit... 8 hours better... 9 hours preferred
... yes ... I try for 7.5 hrs ... when the cats will let me have them ... ... they can tell time and get me up at 6:15 ... one minute before the alarm ... everyday ... even weekends ... and days off ... and holidays ... ... if they can read a clock why can't they read a calendar?
LOL doseffing
LOL at the cats!!
... yes LOL ... it beats crying
dos, they have you 'wrapped'
i hear ya doseffing, it is so true, my mom's cat wakes her in the morning everyday including weekends at 5 AM
... too true
... and it's my own fault ... when they were kittens I fed them in the evening ... but then I got stupid and started feeding them in the morning before going to work
for years, my cats woke me at 5.30am... then I screamed at them one morning. and they stopped!!
i think they realised I was not amused!
... mine just say "so what's your problem fella! Now feed me!!"
my cat knows perfectly well i am capable of ignoring her so she waits more or less patiently each morning
hi all
so what is the easiest fastest way to wipe files off a computer?
hi jm
best one was a couple of weeks ago... licktey was sleeping, and the kitten we had staying at our house was 'playing' with our dog... both of them ended up on his head, having a fight... the threw them to next tuesday! they both freaked out!
... easiest? ... reformat and start again
is that relatively fast?
... what's the situation?
i want to give this laptop back to the store tonight because it is a piece of shit
and when i went on line to the dell customer service they showed i bought it in april when i bought it in june so i think they sold me a used laptop that was returned
... yes ... reformat ... unless you wanna go to the trouble of security software to clean up and that doesn't sound necessary
how do i reformat?
... THere's probl
... There's a command on the control panel ... or if you can get to a DOS command line ... just type reformat C: (assuming it's the harddrive)
so if i do this it will wipe out all of the software that the store put on this too/
yes?
is the store likely to be annoyed with me if i do that?
... it wipes out everything and gives you a partioned disk
... they'll probably do it when you take it back anyways ...
so they won't care?
... if you just want your data files to go ... do it yourself with the delete function ... but that only eliminates the addressing
i want to be sure since it is an irrevocable kind of thing
... not unless they did something special with the operating system and truly customized it ... but if you're just taking it back ... they'll want the applications gone so they can sell the apps again to a new customer
... is there anything special ... like tremendously confidential about the data which you've got on the machine?
yes i have people's tax returns on here
complete with social security numbers and birthdates
... reformating will wipe off the file and re-establish it as a blank sectioned disc drive
... reformat it
so the worst thing that could happen if i reformat it is that i get this computer back and have to put all this stuff back on again
jmc, I would NOT wipe the drive before you talk to someone to be sure it doesn't invalidate the warranty.
... I want my SSN and tax return disappeared ...
... not passed on to the next buyer
oh stid you are probably right. i will take it over there and not let them have it until they agree to reformat it in front of me then
There is a possibility that cleaning it that way would "cure" issues; but be certain you have the disk that came with the computer for reinstall first! That will have the DELL set-up ready to do. You will need the registration number to reinstall.
i guess that is the best i can do
... there are software packages which can clean the file entirely ... most businesses have such a program if they are buying new machines to replace old ones which they're getting rid of ...
i just want to take this piece of old crap that they sold me as new back! WAH!
... if you're Abby Shutto or Timothy McGee you can likely get some of the stuff back even with reformatting ... but you gotta know it's there to start looking
but definitely, if you suspect they sold you a used machine as "new" ... isn't that fraud? You could sue them!
... reformat the hard drive
... we all figure it's fraud ... but how ya gonna prove it
i went to the dell customer service and they said my warrantee ended august 20 and i was surprised since i bought it july 1
well, if the former user's data or modifications are there...
... and I'll bet they only said it's something like good as new
then i saw that they said i bought april 20
oh gee jmc -- you have the receipt of course! And a copy of the warranty you were given, with the term of warranty?
nope i bought in on-line dose
from best buy
hm. Best Buy has been pretty good for us -- have you dealt at all with the local store?
... you're a lawyer ... read all the documentation ... and then prove your allogations in court ... ... or just be pissed off and reformat the hard drive
i don't have the receipt handy but i do have the credit card statement and best buy will have teh receipt
You should have an email verifying your purchase. That constitutes a receipt for an on line purchase.
that's what I was going to say Molly! GMTA
: )
Good afternoon, all.
hey Judi!
Hi Judi
Molly - I caught a possum in the cage last night. *sigh*
yes so i think if i print out what it says at dell and go to them they do okay by me
what are you going to to with it, Judi?
unfortunately i deleted that email after i went to best buy to pick it up. but right will prevail
Yes, I think that it possible, jmc
Well, first a possum, then maybe miss kitty kat.
take the possum out in the woods and dump it
your email's "trash" might still have the document in it, jmc
It's already been set free, stid. I'm trying to catch my missing cat.
but the question was if i should reformat the computer before i take it back
JMC, Yahoo email still retains everything. Do a search on Best Buy and perhaps you will find it.
no already looked stiddie
but thanks for the brain storming everyone
bummer, jmc
... unless you want to give Best Buy a copy of your employees tax statements ... YES
i use hotmail for commercial emails
oh, sorry Judi -- I don't know how to catch cats without getting possums (and raccoons and such)
okay i am off to best buy. if they take it back i will reformat it there myself
((jmc)) good luck!
good thing i never throw away the boxes!
*poof*
Keeping the faith Judi.
I think I'll try putting the cage at the outside edge of the hedgerow, instead of further in where the animal paths are. Just praying I don't get a skunk.
and I am outta here as well. Need to try to find some warm jackets for the people who are unprepared to go up Mt. Rainier... they think it's summer so the mountain will be warm. *sigh* I love the people who come to the meeting, but many of them are rather impractical.
*poof*
I think anything you do to keep your hope alive is good. It sends a message to The Universe.
just back.. cup of tea in hand... hello to those that came in and bye to those that left!! **hugs**
Hiya, Mr.P!
I don't care about the universe, Molly. I just want my little girl back.
*selfishly only thinking of kitty and myself*
molly, you are very straight up there... it is so comforting to keep hope
Appreciate the moral support. Stay tuned for tomorrow's "cage report". :-)
I just want you all to know that lickety had a huge day! I prayed for him, and all came back tenfold!
Awesome, Mr. P. Lord knows you folks are due for some good news.
he went to a job interview... aced it... and then to surgery... poor bastard had it all today, but all positive and good. We are moving forward... and finding a new house to live in... can't wait!
Sounds exciting! Hope you aren't moving because of the prick.
yay for mrp and lickety!!!!
getting away from the Prick and associates. going to court on tuesday (new court date) and he has final interview with the USA on monday. He will then get his job, and move to upper management in January! how good can it get!?
sounds fabulous, mrp!!
judi, we have to... the courts are backing us, and now the federal police... I guess like your FBI are involved
Wow! You guys really hit the lottery!
yeap! we realised that the state police are not going to help... but the federal police are very concerned.
great, mrp! I am glad you have finally gotten the attention of the authoritative authorities :-)
reading back..yaa for mrp and lickety!! new job,new place to live..yaaa!
like someone once said 'the best revenge is living well" be one in love with your family and nothing on earth can defeat you mrp...i must head to work now but before i go,i give you crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!
There are people who can actually see, smell and physically taste music. This is an example of a phenomenon known as synesthesia. Synesthetes report seeing symphonies in spectacular colors, smelling Beethoven and tasting Chopin.
happy babbling everyone!...poink!
thanks all
(mrp here), my puter gave up the ghost.... can log in as master_president, or stay on as lickety... what way would you like??
wow crossy! is true about smelling and seeing and tasting the music. my son does that
Fireworks!!!
on ya judi!!
That's extraordinary. What does he say the music tastes and smells like?
yes, having the federal police is the blessing we have been praying for mrp
he tastes the music when he plays his instrument... the notes taste different! and he sees colour behind his eyelids when he closes his eyes, like blues for deep notes... green for midnotes and yellows for high notes
Hope the prick gets branded as a terrorist and gets put on the do-not-fly list.
judi, what he did is a terrorist act... I am hoping he will be arrested for terrorism, cause the car bomb points to that... but not sure about how much the law can extend itself to that
we were targeted as individuals... not a community or specific race/religion. will see where this goes now
Hmm. Perhaps the Feds will have better resources to tie DNA evidence to the arson.
but the prick will NOT be happy when the federal police get up his nose
car fires... most fires, burn the DNA evidence
So did you contact the Feds or was it referred to them by the court or state police?
that has been the problem all along, but his statements to people are what we can drive this attack on... he will F up and be put into custody soon
Awesome! Okay. Gotta jet. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*
The evidence I have presented to the federal police is solid... he says he knows who did the fire on our house... he admitted to knowing who did it, but wouldn't tell us. It is all recoreded
recorded even
It is beyond me that our state police could do nothing... even with his statement to my husband... but now, he has put himself in the 'firing line' , so to speak, and they will interrogate him.
hope it all works out for you mrp
what a crazy ordeal
I go back to court next week tuesday. Then the main crux of the situation will be clear the the judge will be asked to open the case with the federal police... that is what the law requires
i'm going to try to get my baby to nap.
thanks harry... am feeling better now... more empowered. We just want him put away for his actions and the slander and consequences of it all
I feel for so many other things much more than my own situation, I truly do. However, we are under threat and lickety is scared he will come home and find us 'gone'.
happy napping baby harry!!
I accept that he didn't set the fire himself, but he certainly set it up with his actions, and that is founded.
wow! the sun is coming up! I better get my arse to bed so I can function at least half mode for the kids in the morning. Can nap during the day. Lickety is home now, the operation has drained him... but he can lay down and work for a few hours.
hi and bye mrp
crossy, are you here?
nighters all :) see you next time... and will be back as mrp :) **hugs** (poof)
brb
mrp goes to pb for calling me ha5
nbt! finally!
I'll just call you H today. ; P
45 to go - time to list :)
HH is fine, molly - wouldn't want to get TOO familiar
back, is crossy still here?
guess not
DONE! that was a lovely grid
not lovely for me
sorry to hear that
can I help?
not yet ty
OK! have fun - going to get some food
anyone have a clue for sp6/30?
Hi Jen
hi hego
it's weird. sounds like a round ball with the sometime cons on the end
excellent clue hego!
Oh gosh, thanks. I thought it was desperate, myself. lol
thank yo
yw Jen
i didn't look at sph words
4 left
morning girls!
not allowed to sleep! damn it! :))
All the sp's are together. No 3 letter clues.
afternoon, mrpresident, did you have a good sleep?
Hi Mr P
oh i know hego, i just didn't look at that option in the puzzle
oh jen! no sleep for me! is 5.25am... waiting for the family to wake up in 2 hours
**hugs** jen, hego et al :)
you don't sleep, mrp?
I think she's been up all night. lol
I did put on a turkey breast roll in the slow cooker... the kids can take fresh turkey sandwiches to school now
I have been up all night... will get me back into sleep pattern now
omg, that is so NOT me!
don't make em breakfast, barely pack a lunch...
lickety had surgery, I have to look after him. I am a concerned nurse/wife and don't want to leave him be in pain etc
Excellent nuring!
have been giving him meds through the night and ice packs etc.
i will be going back to work on Monday
But the caretaker must be in good shape too.
making sure he is breathing well and sleeping well
what happened to lickety??
without a good sleep, he won't recover quickly :)
Jen, it was all my fault!!
what????
fireworks for me
yay jen!
YAY!!! JEN!!!
Love your icon GE
what happened mrp?
after my cancer op and endometrial ablation, he was required to take 'action'
uh oh!
yeah hego i've been lovin it a little too much lately! lol
they didn't put him through the 2 hour psych questions, as it is important for my life
they fit him in for a vasectomy today... poor bugger
oic!
and of course... it hurts!
well, yeah!
A little ice, he'll be fine. :-)
the bag of frozen peas works the best!!
I feel for him, really do! If he wasn't married to me, he wouldn't have had to do this
i thought my husband was very gallant offering to get a vasectomy (of course served his own needs too!) but then when after 4 pregnacies, 3 births, years of birth control and his was only 20 minutes door to door i thought HOW UNFAIR!
LOL
very therapeutic, are peas.
i prefer frozen hash browns!
Yes, GE, there's no equity.
too right!
yeah, peas are great... and he can lay down and work on the laptop...!
but then that fits with our eternally giving personalities as ladies :)
I had my surgery 2 months ago... he had to follow suit
And please no burdens to the strong lecture.
We could get a break once in a while, why not?
i have been bored at home recovering from my surgery, but Monday will be the day i go back!
Glad you're better Jen.
good jen! glad you will be back in 'the living'!
i think i will be off....unless anyone needs a clue
Bye Jen
see ya later jen!
whee fireworks for me - off to the bath - take care of lickety mr pres - speak later
thanks kazz! ciao for now
goodE, I hear ya! makes me wanna slap the system up the side of the head!! "yes, we are done.... anything else?"

Hello everybody :-)
Hello there Soodle.
Hi Molly :-). Quiet here tonight!
Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
hi all
Hello Min :-)
It was rather chatty all day, perhaps folks are taking a break. Hi Min.
hi min you are on early
Hello Jmc :-).
hi molly
hi soodle
How goes the revolution, Moll & Jmc?
Hi JMC, how is the remodel going?
Hi jmcnrick.I have changed my priorities around. I'm babbling before I do any of my school work. Shame on me! I will probably regret it when I'm up late tonight.
ugh!
Kind of sad Soodle. Turns out the only thing I looted was the beer shelf in my fridge.
haha min you will probably go to bed even earlier!
Ugh?? To the remodel?
A loot is a loot, Molly!
i got best buy to take back my computer even though it was more than 14 days
does that qualify as a loot?
H's Hooped! 4 left
*Sprinkles JMC with holy water for having to deal with Best Buy*
S's Stomped! 3 left
I'm off to do some lesson plans. I will be back later on to get my last 3 words and to help with out with clues
<---- Not fully up-to-date with what qualifies as a loot or not, but, nonetheless... Yay Jmc!!
*help out with clues
*POOF*
Bye Min :-)
well it only took 40 minutes but i just got clear to take back it's device
that holy water worked molly!
it was not a good month for electronics for me
bbl
What's new in Soodle's world?
Not a whole lot, Molly! But, on the positive side, everybody here is healthy, content and reasonably happy - so on the whole, things are good! And Chez Molly? Are things good there?
Healthy, content and reasonably happy is a good thing. Same here. I'm just grateful for my blessings.
:-).
My son turns 21 in a fortnight. He works in the UK, but will be home for the birthday. I've just been trying to organise a bit of a do for him........ Trouble is... most of his comtemporaries are all in either Australia or Canada or the UK. This blooming recession is a pain in the a**
Aw, sons turning 21 is a fun thing to celebrate. Hope it turns out to be a very fun party.
Absolutely! And he is a great kid, to boot! I am really looking forward to seeing him - he hasn't been home since June.
I understand that. My older two have busy lives and it's sometimes hard to plan family get togethers. But when we do, they are the highlight of my life. I love spending time with my kids.
Its what its all about, really, isn't it? Family! (Good grief.. Is Soodle getting maudlin?)
No, not maudlin. Just keeping your heart where the good things are. Nothing wrong with that.
((((Molls)))).
I guess I better wander off to bed. Important meeting tomorrow morning (yik!) Good night Molly, and thanks!
Sweet dreams Soodle. Best of luck with your meeting.
soodle, are you still there?
{{molly}} just had my usual midnight snack, poor man's sushi
trying to get sleepy
but was starving
back
hi jmc
it is looking like i may have a building permit in a fews days
i am hoping for a wall before the snow flies
how did you get best buy to do that, jmc?
see you tomorrow
any techies on now?
hello all
hi and bye prei
or even peri
:)
i showed them the documents that appeared to show that my computer was bought in april and i had bought it in july
bye ruby
i told them the computer was a lemon (which it was) and that i didn't want it anymore
they were very pleasant about it and then let me watch as they reformated the computer to wipe out any data from my clients
ok, did you get another one
gave me back every penny
good job, jmc!
no i told them i needed a vacation from computers
:)
i think i will take this to my computer guy and ask him to put in a new hard drive--I can life with out having 2 shift keys
so then i came home and got clear to take back their 4G modem that never worked
I feel like I accomplished a lot today! :-)
you have, indeed, jmc
*looks at three page long to-do list*
*shoves list under laptop*
so how was your day peri?
Glad to hear you got your computer woes settled JMC.
<==proud--never once raise voice
it was okay, I got the things done that I had on my list
that is always so gratifying--sometimes if i do something that wasn't on my list i write it on so i can cross it off!
had a mamogram and dexa scan on Tues and the result from the mammo were good, no issues. and the dexascan showed increased bone mass!! I am on Reclast
you are funny, jmc
was good, even
wtg peri!!! left those weights!
i suspect i am not the only person who does that haha
Good to hear that Peri!
*lift
1/2 way
Lift to the left, lift to the right...must hush now before I launch into Clarence Carter's "Strokin' "
thanks, I walk, take my Vit D and calcium and lift light weights sometimes. also taking a stretch and tone class
oh, go ahead and sing, Molly, I do not know that song
It's a little raunchy Peri...don't want to offend. : )
well then, I will have to look it up on Google :)
hi all. dinner is on and have a few minutes until DH gets home...i think.
hi good
how are you jmc?
feeling accomplished as i returned a computer and a modem today
how was your day?
i'm feeling much the same. spent the day off cleaning up the house and doing misc errand. i've been way behind on stuff.
my mother was in the hospital so all else fell away
nothing like crossing things off the list
sorry good i didn't know--she is better now?
well...we found out her bile duct cancer has returned but she is home now. appts with various drs will commence soon enough.
been a tough week but we'll get through
ah too bad--good wishes and prayers for her and you
yes she is 85 and lives at home with my 87 yr old father so you can't say we haven't already been blessed
Hi GE, prayers out for your Mom.
thanks molly
still good. . . my mother lived to 96
but besides my chores i have almost finished this grid. that has not happened since april i believe
wtg good!
i take a babble sabbatical every may and this year it kind of got extended. only dabbled at it here and there the last month
does that help you enough babble to take a sabbatical?
gotta keep up on the news but not much time to play
the chat is 3/4s of it for me
even when i lurk
yup. need to know that the buddies are all okay :)
50 left a good break point bbl
see ya!
I had a forced sabbatical .. no internet for a month
I got a lot done ...
Hello all. Wildcat, how did you get forced off Babble?
ok, sorry if that was too personal. Shutting up now
hi babblers
Hi Welki, Hi Bugs.
no it was my end .. I moved and just didn't get to it, then had all kinds of trouble when I did get around to setting it up
how''s the grandbaby, wild?
Hey Babblers. I said good night about an hour ago, but cant sleep. Any suggestions to lull me nto the land of nod?
I thot maybe someone had bet you you couldn't go Babbleless..... Hi Molly and Welki
That's what I was thinking Wild. A forced sabbatical from the internet, not Babble. Glad you got reconnected.
almost here. I'm so excited!!
I would've bet that but I did make it. barely
ty molly I am too
Yes Soodle. A movie with Joseph Fiennes in it. : P
public access TV
Hmm. No TV in the Soodle Boudoir, Moll. And my arms are tired from punching the pillows...
try sitting outside and breathing in the night air -- unless you live in the heart of a city and the only smell is smog.
A hot bath with good smelling something in it?
welk she's 37 weeks along and doing great
LOL Bugs. I live in the heart of the country!! I will take a constitional around the grounds of Chez Soodle..... BB l
that went pretty fast, wild! (probably not for your daughter! *lol*) she must be nesting by now :)
I agree it went fast! She is in fact nesting. And hoping he arrives soon. We're still in the middle of the record-setting heat wave down here
She's miserable
Soodle, if your computer is in the Soodle Boudoir...try searching You Tube for guided meditations or deep relaxation. There are some good ones there that might help you drift off.
Ooo, can't wait for the WILD IS A GRAM news. : )
Thank you, Moll. But I have some Soodle-imposed rules.... eg.. No TV and no 'puters in the Soodle boudour. But thanks anyway :-)
my middle daughter was born in late july .. by the middle of the month, i was riding the lawn tractor around, mowing like a madwoman, hoping the bumpy ride would induce my labor
:)
I thought you would've been fishing welk
<--- thinks soodle should have a nice shot of irish and think about liam clancy
Soodle - remember when we were first married... If one of us couldn't sleep, the other one couldn't sleep. and it was fun
i did live on a trout stream then, but by july, there wasn't much fishing
Well Ms. Boudoir rules...you could try listening to one of those wherever your computer is, and then trying sleep again.
think i'm going to treat us to pizza tonight .. my reward for grocery shopping and stoutly facing Mt. Laundry
Aw, Bugs...... I remember those days...
*Places gold star on Welki's forehead*
so try to see if he does too |)
where'd jmc go? thought she was here a few minutes ago
((((Bugsaw)))). Thank you for being so nice. But Mr Soodle is no longer in the Soodle zone, And thats good!. Soodle without Mr Soodle is a better person! Sheesh....Am I getting maudlin againg?
*uhm* could always "fly" solo
Againg?????
I am so sorry Soodle to have put my foot in it again!!! I loved not having a Mr Bugsaw for years and now that I have one again, I sometimes wonder what I was thinking! LOL
I am a much better person with the second Mr than I ever was with the first. Also, I am much older and don't take guff any more.
Soodle, methinks you are stressing about your meeting tomorrow. Let it fly, and welcome sweet dreams.
Welki suggested something NAUGHTY!!! Good for Welki!!!
\woo Hoo!!!!! Bugs!! I am delighted you found your alternative Mr Bugsaw!!! Absolutely no question of your putting your foot anywhere untoward! (I love happy endings!!).

br6?
that could be it
br5/18 means salty

2 ps?

i've only got 1, but am still missing 4 p words, so take that for what it's probably worth...
ps 4/5 is ps plus to be and other ps 4 is what you say to get somebody else's attention quietly wildcat17.
he set a man that he definitely knows on me last weekend... an 'alleged' Federal Police Officer with information that only the Prick could have told him. The AFP don't like that!! they will be paying him a little visit and if he doesn't give the name of the man, he will be arrested
thanks, min
yw
oooh! nice fumble on prick's part!
your drama isn't over yet mrp? I'm so sorry to hear that
this man, 'alleged' AFP officer, will be in a lot of trouble if he isn't one, or if he is, he will be suspended and a hearing pending
cops don't like impersonations....
needs clue for 2nd ps
actually he should be in trouble even if he is one
ps** want to buy a watch?
very much not!! this man will be very sorry he ever met the Prick and got involved in abusing me
Second ps 4/4 is what you say to get somebody else's attention quietly wildcat17.
oh good grief I hate that one (ty)
it is 18 months prison sentence... straight up
right column grey
yw
I need an s6

Hooray Hooray! For your grey!
cooking sh6/27?
sh6 is sorta what you do to a sheep
sh 6/27 os sh 5/12 word plus sometimes vowel wildcat
sh6/21 and sh6/21 are plurals
wildcat, once I am finished, the prick will be in prison with him... but for 7-15 years
so is sn6/18
sh 6/27:Steve Perry Song "Oh Sh****" or cooking wine.
you won't believe what he did over the last two days!!!!
tell us, don't make us guess! :)
My ten minutes of cluing is up and my bedtime is way over due. Good luck finishing to all non-finishers! Bye!
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

he has been chasing... literally with his car one of the 'witnesses' he wants... at least 3 people, trying to get them to write lies about us
he's going to trip himself up doing all this
firewords
yay wildcat!
He approached my friend in her home, he doesn't know I know her... and wanted her to write an affidavit that my husband made explosives, bombs, in her neighbours home
... that she witnessed him making bombs!!!!

m's mashed!
go jes go
20 left
what the crap!? like someone's just going to go lie about something like that in court? how stupid does he think she is?
clearly dilusional
he is completely crazy!! and.... he chased down one of the so called 'witnesses' that will not lie for him either... and threatened to supoena his wife!! This is the guy that he cut off with his car, and he threathened him!!
definitely knows how to motivate a witness, doesn't he?
is lickety muslim that he thinks he can make that claim?
of course, the guy told him to FO, and so did my friend... he was so desperate... he made her really uncomfortable and she told him to FO or she would take action against him!!
i me** where does that come from?!?!
it all comes from his head... he wants me arrested
he wants me gaoled or dead
wow what a nut case
the amount of people who are now coming forward to tell me their ordeal with him and his 'issue' with me isn't amusing at all!!
ar5?
AR + not brother
ty ru
will they go to the court date to speak against him, mrp?
i don't need them to jes, he has buried himself
I have all the evidence I need, the judge will read the first half and throw the book at him
no, but wouldn't it be splendid if all these folks he wants to witness for him show up, and then one by one witness against him instead?
i do have witnesses, 5, who will go to court for me. they are booked in for 12th september
I have to be up early tomorrow for daughter's college graduation (YAY!!!). Sorry to hear the troubles continue mrp. It was lovely seeing all of you this evening.

cracker is racist slang for whitey
a couple of kangaroos missing in the top paddock cracker
na5/10 pleasae
well, not here
it's a plural with no single, means nostrils.
do they not have cracker written on biscuit packets?
no it is different from whitey jes--it is white country trash
of course not! they have biscuit written on biscuit packets, and cracker written on cracker boxes :P silly australians.
a cracker is a digestive
and i always thought a cracker was these round things made by ritz :P
i luv a good cracker!
and cookies on the biscuit boxes
