1:04 am

would you give a clue for it , please?

1:05 am

just saw it dart -- trying to think what I would call an agent

1:05 am

oh -- got that part, now the ruru part

1:05 am

starts with an R since it's an er 8

1:06 am

er 7/8 so you have to plural the 7

1:06 am

ruru, that's a crazy icon!

1:06 am

*tosses holy water at Dart*

1:06 am

especially since he can't "kneal" anymore

Haha!

1:07 am

ah -- ty dart

I have a feeling I know why ruru put it there.

1:07 am

:D

Oh ruru, jilli, check email.

Yes, you're listed as a follower of your own blog... and on your Blogger profile page, your own blog is shown as one that you follow: http://www.blogger.com/profil e/09981685320413861709

yes, I never did figure out how I did that... I was screwing around one day and it happened LOL

Yeah, that's weird.

Mine: http://tinyurl.com/3nx65zo Like my musical taste? Probably not.

I couldn't duplicate it if I had to

Gotta try following my own blog now... just to see if I can, lol.

ty glad to have it!

Wow. It was actually gonna let me do that.

Hi and good morning, sprite.

2:35 am

2:35 am

thank you

dart? Did you get that?

2:39 am

trying to get my last 12 now

2:41 am

I thought naphta was a word. Some chemical liquid stuff? Highly flammable?

2:42 am

hello all :))

2:42 am

ah that might very well be the case, thanks

2:43 am

hi mrp :)

did clues come up ok?? are they right please?

2:43 am

hiya mrP *hugs* As far as I can see they are working fine. don't know about right, haven't finished yet.

as long as they show 311 for 311, i am happy :)

2:45 am

<--- miffed that the friendly ghost is not valid

2:45 am

just checked, yes they do

thank you sprite :)

(*dart*)

2:46 am

hugs mrp :)

2:47 am

some semblance of routine coming back to the household yet, mrP?

at times sprite... then i get a slap in the face at times.

Oh sprite, my apologies for Sat. morning. My company woke up so I returned... and fell asleep for a while. Sorry to leave you hanging like that!

And hi again, mrp. :)

2:50 am

yeah :( I know, it is hard. But good about the routine. You need some, so you won't be drained all the time. *hugs* and know that I am thinking of you all.

That will probably happen for some time yet, mrp... sorry to say. It won't be easy.

2:50 am

oh I didn't hang, neil, I just went my own way. Np.

Good, sprite!

the house we found today was indeed what I would like, small, but perfect for us. I just pray we get it :)

2:53 am

phantom: agonise

Oh great, mrp... crossing my fingers, toes and any/all other crossable body parts for you! Eye?

2:53 am

will keep my fingers crossed for you, mrP

Eyes, I mean? lol

and the living areas are perfect, as are the sizes of the bedrooms, and all rooms lead out to outdoor living areas... that are just gorgeous! makes for a nicer environment to be able to walk outside and have a beautiful garden to go to

Definitely, mrp.

Sounds very nice... hope you can get it!

yes, let's pray for it all to come through.

2:55 am

sounds like heaven. You'd get a lot of healing there, just from walking out and being outdoors.. lots of freedom.

Amen to that.

2:56 am

I'd say the big guy up there owes you a couple!

2:56 am

May I please have a clue for any es words? Thanks

yes sprite! and it is 3 houses behind all the other houses on the street and in the middle of nowhere! no noise, no traffic, but the bus stop for the kids to get to school is only 2 minutes walk!

2:56 am

hi peach. Don't have any, I think, but will help look

thank you neil!

2:57 am

Hi there, sprite. Thanks for looking.

thank you sprite (((hugs))) you have always looked after my prayers

Thanks much, dart.

2:58 am

2:58 am

I mean peach, for the clue, lol

2:59 am

Oh, yes, thanks much, sprite.

3:00 am

nite dart! ((hugs))

3:19 am

3:20 am

Sleepless in Washington. Hi, mrp and sprite :)

3:20 am

hello dcseain

3:21 am

sounds good, mrp

3:21 am

oh, my. plaids sure are in this season.

it will be sprite! I layered pork cutlets on top of bread... to soak up the oil and fat and rubbish... then surrounded that with pumpkin, then layered it with sliced potato and sweet potato. drizzled olive oil mixed with garlic and chopped parsley and rosemary over it... and topped it will slices of apple!

hi dcs!! (((hugs)))

3:22 am

yummy, I am coming over for dinner, set another plate!

indeed sprite!! you are always welcome! and the family!

3:23 am

hehehe you need another ovendish then! Too many ppl.

i make enough for a small army hunny! :))

3:25 am

I really wish you weren't living on the other side of da planet :)

same sprite... i would love to move to europe... am seriously thinking about retiring in europe

3:28 am

I would like it if you did... but wouldn't you feel unrooted here? No family, no friends... might be lonely in the beginning.

i am talking about 10 years down the track... kids need to be finished with education, independent and self sufficient enough to visit once in a while!! I remember as a young girl going to europe every year to spend time with my grandparents... was fantastic memoried

and if i have ever felt uprooted, this has been the time.... so anything is possible now :)

3:31 am

yeah I can understand that. Well, if you do, be sure to let me know... and be sure to pick a country not too far from me! I promise we will come and visit.

i am lucky though sprite... lickety is recovering, and wanting to do everything possible to keep us together. That shows amazing theme to his life story now.

3:32 am

I had a feeling he would, hun. His love is true. It will be a hell of a battle, but if any two people might manage it, it is the two of you.

3:33 am

i was guessing that would be the case, as overall your relationship seemed strong. May his recovery be full.

thank you both dcs and sprite :) it is hard... it is sometimes overwhelming, but it is fact. we are finding our way

3:34 am

good morning. What a surprise, a huge grid on Monday!

3:35 am

morning, ruby

3:35 am

hi rubyfoo :)

i also know some people will be thinking I am an idiot for letting him back in, however, the children are all that matter, and as long as he is making good with them and proving his story to them, I will support him. I am his wife... his support. They are his children... they look up to him. I have to give it a chance.

3:36 am

indeed, mrp, and pray it go well for all of you.

3:37 am

for better and for worse, hun, very true. And no, I don't think you are an idiot. I think you both have been through a lot of rough times, and people can do crazy stuff when the stress gets too much. Trying to heal together is the best thing you can do. Not the easiest, but the best.

thanks dcs... you are very kind to me

Yes, you do. YOu have too much to lose... do what's best for all of you, for the family.

3:45 am

that is nice, seain, what is your secret?

ooooh, romantic weekend away!! sounds delish :))

Just sent you something, mrp. Might amuse you?

3:46 am

you need to do a cookbook, mrp

I kind of had one of those this weekend... at home.

Aside from having to clean my car out and take it through the car wash, to put it up for sale.

indeed ruby! what should I call it??

3:48 am

is there already a "Cooking from Down Under"?

3:48 am

one-dish meals from a dish

I am excellent at one dish meals... can put stuff together in a minute and have a result that makes everyone lick the bowl

3:50 am

"one-dish meals from down under"

we have got meals that are australian (come from english cooking) but can make them so much easier.

3:50 am

"quick one-dish meals"

i might give it a go ruby :))

i think one dish meals are smart!

3:51 am

and surely somebody in babbleland knows a publisher....

ah, a publisher! that would also help :)

You can easily find them or anyone/anything else online, ruby... good old Google.

I have been writing my own recipes since 1992... have so many. I would luv to publish them

Oh really, mrp? Then you should... write a cookbook!

bbq (be back quick)... need to check the oven

Check email, mrp.

3:53 am

not for me, neil, I'm not ready to publish....hahah

I said that to mrp, ruby.

About writing the cookbook, that is.

Yeah, looking for a publisher... don't mind me, I'm way beyond tired at this point.

3:56 am

oh, I thought you meant my memoirs, neil, hohoho

Oh? Why, are you intending to write them?

3:56 am

May I please have a clue for ro7-28? Thanks

I hope to write a book some day. For now, only blogs.

3:57 am

3:59 am

It's almost 5:00AM here. Thanks for all the help.

4:00 am

does anybody know what a tamarillo is?

4:00 am

husband just bought them and I don't recognize it. Is it a pepper or a fruit?

Aww. How nice, mrp! :)

Check your email too, ruby.

4:02 am

It is fruit Ruby. Very pretty to draw too

Fruit, ruby... nightshade.

4:02 am

{{lynxx}}

4:02 am

I asked him to buy tamarind

Haha! Well he tried.

4:05 am

oh well, something new to try. said to be a bit like a passionfruit (!!!) try eating the centre

4:06 am

ho-hos and cider, the perfect breakfast :P

4:06 am

hi, lyn

4:06 am

and well balanced, too, neil

4:07 am

hi DC - nice to see you. though that breakfast sounds a bit dodgy

What is, ruby?

4:07 am

not neil, seain!

4:07 am

tamarillo is a tomato-related fruit

Oh, haha! Check your email, ruby?

4:07 am

to be eaten raw or cooked?

I thought so, Seain... since it's a nightshade also.

Raw, I'd say.

But you could probably cook it if you wanted.

4:08 am

usually made into salsa, usually cooked, but they may be eaten raw

Oh yeah? Wasn't sure.

4:08 am

they're the prime ingredient in Mexican salsa verde

4:09 am

sounds like it could go into a chili con carne (which I happen to be making for dinner)

Oh. Shows what I [don't] know!

Probably!

Uhhh, ruby? Think you missed it twice, but check your email?

4:09 am

indeed so, ruby, chop it fine w/out mincing and put it right in fairly early in the cooking process

4:10 am

anoesis \an-oh-EE-sis\, noun: A state of mind consisting of pure sensation or emotion without cognitive content.

4:10 am

that's today's dictionary.com word of the day

4:10 am

hasn't arrived yet, neil

4:11 am

hm. i wonder what the cat just caught and ate. I'm guessing an insect. Useful having a hunter in the house.

4:11 am

have you ever seen a cat eating a spider, seain, funny to see the little legs hanging out.....

Do a mail check, ruby? Or check your junk folder?

4:12 am

i have not, but i did have a cat who would pull the legs off of crickets, toss them aside, then bat the body around until it was dead, then walk away from them.

Hey car :)

hey, car and boat :-)

6:45 am

Hey une:) I've always wondered how to pronounce your full profile name, uneaixoise.

6:45 am

ewn x wahz

6:45 am

:-)

6:45 am

well, ewn ex wahz

6:46 am

The ewn, is that like U-win, or ee-win?

6:47 am

ewn . . . like hewn

6:48 am

Ah. Thanks! Now my mind won't be doing such a pronunciation scramble every time I see your name.

6:48 am

LOL!

Wow. People! Don't ask what I'm doing awake at 4:48 am either. I don't even know?

6:49 am

un aixois is a male from Aix (en Provence) . . . une aixoise is a female from Aix (en Provence)

6:49 am

Early good morning neil :)

Same to you, boat. :)

6:49 am

7:00 am

Morning Annie! Morning uusue!

7:00 am

hi, car!

7:00 am

morning john-boy:)

7:00 am

hi car :)

7:02 am

OK, if ph 4/6 is accepted then I think phart should be perfectly acceptable *eyes rolling* Wonky Enable.

7:02 am

god bless enable

7:02 am

<----eyes are stuck in the back of head from rolling them at enable so much!!!

7:02 am

ok, I am off to exercise! bbl!

7:03 am

God love you woman! Go!

7:03 am

Exercise, what is that???

7:03 am

crossy can watch other people work out all day:)

7:04 am

It is what I should be doing.

7:05 am

args

7:05 am

oops

7:05 am

I don't think I've ever used ph 4/6 in a sentence in my life (other than right now). "Man, that is PH**!" Nope, never.

7:06 am

Do you feel any different?

7:06 am

I have only used it to make fun of it.

7:06 am

LOL!

7:07 am

Only in the sense that I am too much of a geek to every try and properly use the word ph**. So I guess I feel more geeky :)

7:08 am

"I have only used it to make fun of it." - Agreed.

7:08 am

Never understood that word.

7:10 am

Using ph** is like using 'sick' instead of using 'cool'. I just stick with cool. I could go really retro and say 'aces' but I don't think I could bring myself to do it without laughing at myself.

7:10 am

Neato! Groovy!

Back.

7:11 am

Hi neil!

7:11 am

Are you feeling sleep at all?

7:11 am

I use 'cool' and 'awesome' mostly.

7:11 am

You left? Welcome back.

7:13 am

I am out of coffee. Haven't had any this morning. Ugh.

7:14 am

Uh-oh, that sounds dire.

Who? Me?

I got coffee.

7:14 am

I will probably never feel "awake" today.

And hi, car!

Tell me about it, car. It's 5:14 am here! Ugh.

7:15 am

...slides empty, cold, unused coffee mug over to neil....

7:15 am

I know! Go back to bed!

Haha! I don't have the pot here at the computer with me.

I've been there most of the weekend.

7:16 am

Neil, that you left after having popped in around 4:30 ish. Didn't realize that you left.

7:16 am

poor car,comeover here i have 3 kinds of costa rican perk coffee just waiting for a coffee fiend

7:16 am

....withdraws mug and begins to weep softly....

7:16 am

...head snaps back, eyes beaming, runs to Crossy's....

7:16 am

Ooo, crossy that sounds like it smells fantastic, mmmm :)

7:17 am

i have volcanicgrown,single plantation bean and a bold blend

Sounds delish, crossy! I love my coffee.

7:17 am

my brother sent it to me when he was there

Oh yes, boat. I left to... make coffee!

7:18 am

Good brother :)

Nice gift to send you!

7:18 am

Hey...anyone here use an inhaler?

7:20 am

I have one but dont use it often...

7:20 am

Crossy, Peameal? What is that?

7:20 am

i use ventolin and a steroid inhaler

7:20 am

Can they cause canker sores?

7:21 am

7:21 am

7:21 am

i have never had it happen car

7:21 am

7:21 am

i use an inhaler and a nebulizer

7:21 am

7:21 am

Hi Ivesy!

7:22 am

never got sores from that...you may have a virus causing them or sometimes stress will do that

7:22 am

sometimes i have to add one of those aerochambers:(

7:22 am

I was just wondering if it could be related. It is rather high up in my cheek, so I don't think I bit my cheek...but maybe.

I have done as a kid but outgrew the need, fortunately. It was allergy-related and I don't have as much of a problem now, for some reason.

7:22 am

Virus?!?! Stress??!?!?! Me?!??!?

7:22 am

i think it is unrelated car

7:22 am

if u dont rinse after using it can problems car

7:22 am

i get them when I am really stressed out

Oh I see, ok. Never had anything like that.

7:23 am

and alway remember to brush the teeth after the steroid inhaler as it plays hell on tooth enamel

7:23 am

i have a rescue inhaler too.... gosh im in bad shape lol

7:23 am

Oh! Good to know, Thanks.

7:24 am

my rescue on is the ventolin ivesy

7:24 am

7:24 am

howdy snuz

7:24 am

I'm new here

7:24 am

Wahoo! Way to go Crossy!

7:24 am

Canker sores are usually brought on/out due to some kind of stress, either physical or mental (physical like a break in the membrane in the mouth). The sore itself can be treated with OTC products, (I'm sure you well know).

7:24 am

yes, mine is the air chamber..stil learning how to use it... always make it whistle

7:24 am

7:31 am

Morning Bzzn, Mom :)

7:31 am

hahah... i had a crush on him in HS...i was in grade 9..he was in 13... and we hooked up through fb in the spring....he has been asking me if i am dating/ have a significant other/ have a man in ur life for 6 months...

7:31 am

(((((Annie))))) good morning. How are you? I am making bean soup today

7:31 am

good morning boatierra

7:31 am

{{MOM}} how r u ?

7:31 am

Inge is in the grid today

7:32 am

: )

7:32 am

(((Carlee))) good morning. I am just fine and you?

7:32 am

so she is!

7:32 am

Mom, I absolutely love that bean soup. If I pay you, and I mean pay you back, would you send me two packages of the beans. I cannot get those beans here.

7:33 am

What kind of beans?

7:33 am

we have been gently lobbing the ball into eachother's court for the last few weeks... and...its nice.. not sure if i want it to lead anywhere..but it is nice having adult conversation that is not about criminal law

7:33 am

I have used others and it is not the same.

7:33 am

I would gladly send you the beans.

7:33 am

I am excited for you! Keep me posted! Just enjoy!

7:33 am

Excuse me for butting in. I use Atrovent and Seretide inhalers, about 35 years now. A couple of weeks ago a young girl working at the local pharmacy said 'always clean your teeth or swill out your mouth after using the inhalers as they can cause mouth sores'. This is the very first time I have been told that and sometimes I did develope mouth sores!!! Got a sick cat, got to go...

7:33 am

They are white beans, Boat

7:34 am

oh Patxxx, never made the connection. Thanks. So sorry about the cat.

7:34 am

:) {{car.ee}} and yes..i am....

7:34 am

Thank you Patxxxx!

7:34 am

navy or the small white?

7:34 am

who has a canker sore?

7:34 am

Mom, you are a sweetheart. I called the company that packages the beans and they will send me a case of 36 packages. A bit too much so I begged off.

7:34 am

small white beans

7:34 am

Mmmm, white beans, good choice :)

7:35 am

<--- back from rinsing!

7:35 am

I do Carlee!

7:35 am

Go car :)

7:35 am

I use those for baked beans when I can not get the navy beans

7:35 am

when I bought them I bought 24 bags

7:35 am

ok..this is what i do..it hurts like a Son of BITCh whilst u do it..but they heal so fast

7:36 am

Mom, I dont remember but I know it was not navy. I think Old Kentucky beans, does that sound right?

7:36 am

my kids even endure the pain it works so well

7:36 am

I'm a big fan of black beans and my mom introduced me to pink beans but those are sometimes hard to find.

7:36 am

Annie, the beans are next to nothing in cost but if you insist, you can pay the postage

7:37 am

it is called Kentucky Bean Soup

7:37 am

just got NBT whoohooo

7:37 am

take n unlit match... and put the sulforous end right on the canker ( u WILL cry) until u cant feel it...u wont feel it for rest of day..by tomorrow just a heeled over pit..by wed..gone

7:37 am

Yeah River!!!!!

7:37 am

Good lord Carlee! I don't know if I can do that....

7:37 am

seems a little drastic...think I will live with the sore

7:37 am

Is this recipe available to others?!?!?!

7:37 am

i know it sounds absurd... but it works... and i go for every time...so do my kids...

7:38 am

the 1 min of pain...is worth not hving that nnoying sting for 3 or 4 days

7:38 am

tempting.....

7:38 am

I use Orabase by Colgate. It puts a film over the sore and it heals pretty quick

7:38 am

my a key is not happy...

7:38 am

it really does work....

7:39 am

( we dont have that here annie )

7:39 am

what recipe, Car.?

7:40 am

I just stole Mom's Lil' Cheddar Loaves recipe!

7:40 am

sorry mom... we dont have it

7:40 am

The Kentucky Bean Soup?

7:40 am

car. wants the soup recipe

7:40 am

The recipe was on the bag the beans came in. I saved the bag for months and then threw it out when I went on a cleaning binge.

7:40 am

Do the upper E's suck or is it just me?

7:40 am

I can give you the recipe

7:40 am

I'll email it to you.

7:40 am

Oh.

7:40 am

car.eeyore@gmail.com

7:40 am

they suck car...only have one

7:40 am

I have just one of each of those upper E's.

7:41 am

WOW, carleekat, I've never heard of that one, using a match. We, my dad and I always used Zilactin.

7:41 am

okay, I'll do that is a bit. Car.

7:41 am

and I keep typing "ensign", but no matter how many times I do it, it still isn't there.

7:41 am

ha

7:41 am

it is listed on the package as white beans.

7:41 am

Any time. No worries!

7:41 am

Annie, I will get them in the mail to you this week

7:42 am

Annie, just 2 bags?

7:42 am

Hi mema!

7:42 am

Mom, thanks so much. I have a smoked ham hock in the freezer that is waiting for those beans.

7:42 am

good morning Mema

7:42 am

Mom, three bags then. thank you, thank you!!!!!

7:42 am

you are so welcome, Annie

7:43 am

white beans are the same as navy beans i think..

7:43 am

3 it is

7:43 am

you would think, Carlee. but not in this recipe

7:43 am

I have tried it with navy beans. bleech

7:44 am

carlee, I dont know what it is but the Kentucky beans have a texture and flavor I cannot find here in the beans I have bought.

7:44 am

Car - I would recommend using Zilactin if you can get some. It's expensive, around $10 for a little tube, but it lasts a long time and it's very effective at least in my experience. Good luck :)

7:44 am

good morning everyone

7:44 am

hmmmm..interesting.i used to love bean soup..but they are all done with pork... and i cant do pork anymore :(

7:44 am

Flosey!!!! {{hug}}}

7:44 am

:(

7:44 am

hi flosey

7:44 am

good morning Flosey

7:44 am

Hi flosey!

7:44 am

Mom, do those beans have a tan spot where they had been joined in the pod?

7:45 am

hello flosey - early for you today

7:45 am

Believe it or not....carlee would not steer me wrong. I am going for it with the match.

7:45 am

Flosey, no they are just white beans

7:45 am

Morning flosey :)

7:45 am

no markings at all

7:45 am

no River, I'm visiting sons in Toronto

7:45 am

OK....I'm going to try it...BRB.....

7:45 am

good luck car.

7:46 am

ah, hubby grows a bean I really love, great for making Boston Baked Beans

7:46 am

*waits to find out how the match goes*...

7:46 am

hope you are having a great visit

7:46 am

it hurts boat..it really really hurts..but it works...

7:46 am

did you all just hear a noise going across the sky .... must be Car. :-)

7:46 am

that's neat, Flosey.

7:46 am

stop the screaming please

7:46 am

<------- misses baked beans

7:47 am

I just saw car. fly by.....there she goes >>>>>>

7:47 am

it is making my stomach hurt just thinking about it

7:47 am

yes, had a pic taken with grandson here, he's 13 and is now 5'6" we see eyeball to eyeball!

7:47 am

car.ee will be fine :)

7:47 am

couldn't you do the beans without the pork, Carlee?

7:47 am

lol, Annie

7:47 am

they do grow fast - my 14 year old is taller than me now

7:47 am

I bake a large batch and freeze them - and I do not use pork in them

7:47 am

i have a recipe tht does...it works....but not the same..( i put crushed pineapple in them)

7:48 am

Ummm...it didn't hurt...at all...and I tried it with 2 different matches. It is a little tingly. Did I do something wrong? Or do my matches not have enough sulfur on them?

7:48 am

maybe high pain tollerance...

7:48 am

how do the beans do in the freezer. I had always heard they get mushy when they thaw

7:48 am

i have not eaten a good batch ofbaked beans in years..all are dry pasty tasteless things....

7:48 am

now...wait... by tomorrow should be loads better

7:48 am

must have been thunder I heard then

7:48 am

that sounds interesting carlee - must try it

7:49 am

Maybe I didn't do it right. The matches have VERY small heads on them.

7:49 am

Ninja cat has invaded my keyboard....

7:49 am

we had a restaurant here for years....whilst u waited for your meal u were served baked beans, and fresh rolls with warm sharp cheddar cheese spread

7:49 am

I don't find them mushy Mom - perhaps if they've been frozen a while

7:49 am

s long as the head was ON the canker itself...

7:49 am

oh carlee, that sounds lovely

7:50 am

<------ nothing stays frozen long here

7:50 am

Good grief! Did they sell any real meals??!? I would just eat that!

7:50 am

I would think it would be better to use the stick matches rather than the matchbox ones?

7:50 am

yeap..great steak...and either works boat..i have done both...

7:50 am

I just sneezed and flames came out my nose!

7:50 am

yes, baked beans is a comfort food

7:50 am

Good to know :)

7:51 am

hehehe car.ee

7:51 am

LOL! car.eeyore :)

7:51 am

7:52 am

7:52 am

Neil, you've missed car.eeyore putting a match on her canker sore then sneezing flames. It was a blast!

7:52 am

oh that is terrible River

Huh, boat? Wow. The things I miss!

7:53 am

still in Toronto Neil - going home Thursday

7:53 am

Literally!

Oh, duh. Of course! Haha.

Ok. Then I'm up much earlier than you.

7:53 am

You'll have to go back through the chog a bit. Home rememdy for cancker sore, putting an unlit match on it.

Never knew that, boat. The things one can learn on Babble... amazing.

7:55 am

Oh! Unlit?!?!?!?

LOL car!

7:55 am

{tee hee}

7:55 am

It was suggested by carleekat.

7:55 am

one stop shopping here for anything

I see. Now I know who to ask if I need a strange home remedy for what ails me.

7:55 am

Oh thank G-d, for a sec there I thought...Phew.

Yep.

I know, boat! Exactly.

7:56 am

Bad car!

7:56 am

Hey, I got a couple more of the E's if anyone wants them.

I have a new addiction.

7:57 am

sure Car., thank you

7:57 am

I don't have any e's. Maybe I should work on that...

7:57 am

A new addiction? Do tell.

7:57 am

I found ep 4/6 and ep 5/14

7:58 am

already had those...sigh

It's another game on OMGPOP... called "Swapples". I'm told it's just like one on Facebook called "Bejewelled Blitz"?

7:58 am

eg 4/6

7:58 am

hi again, all, back for a quick breakfast and then time to run to work

7:58 am

er 4/6

Hi Sue! :)

7:58 am

Everything else I have comes from the bottom E.

7:58 am

hi uusue

7:58 am

thanks car, didn't have those

7:58 am

Hi again!

7:58 am

just found an eg4/6

7:59 am

Bejewelled!!! I adore that game. We had that on one of our old computers. That's a great game!

7:59 am

hi mom, and hi again, car!

7:59 am

Is it most of the talk show host's name?

There are 14 E words, in total.

7:59 am

... at least 5 of the "e" on the bottom have to do with getting away ...

Yes, doseffing.

7:59 am

Hi doseffing!

7:59 am

hi, dos!

7:59 am

... morning all ...

Yes, boat... Swapples is fun.

7:59 am

and I had missed those, so thanks, dos!

7:59 am

morning Dose

7:59 am

Hi dos :)

7:59 am

Oh jeez. I already had the ca**.

7:59 am

hello doseffing

There's a link on my profile to join OMGPOP.

8:00 am

May I run a question by you Babblers?

Sure, car?

8:00 am

sure, car!

8:00 am

sure car

8:00 am

As many of you know, my boss recently passed away.

8:00 am

absolutely

8:00 am

I had downloaded Bejeweled from Pop Cap aeons ago. But in the change over to a new computer we lost the game.

Oh, didn't know... but very sorry to hear that.

8:00 am

I'm sorry Car. I didn't know that

8:01 am

Sorry to hear that car.

8:01 am

The company had been put into her husband's name, but regardless the estate has to go through probate.

8:01 am

so sorry car - didnt know either

8:01 am

uh-oh, sounds complicated, car

Yes, of course.

8:01 am

I understand this. It is all fine. However, they sent out an email last week that the assets are frozen, thus no paychecks.

Oh no.

8:02 am

ouch!

8:02 am

Uh-oh.

8:02 am

how can they do that?

Yes, I'm wondering that?

8:02 am

hmmm, that doesn't sound right!

8:02 am

where is jmc when you need her

8:02 am

hope they get that settled soon Car

8:02 am

was there no will? If the company was in her husbands name how can the assets be frozen?

You're owed what you worked for.

8:02 am

They think it will be fine by this week, IF they can get it expedited. How long do I keep working if this doesn't resolve itself?

I know, Riverdance... hey, car? Why not ask jmc?

I'd ask her... she may have some idea.

jmcnrick - at - yahoo.

8:03 am

they should owe you all back pay

8:03 am

Frank says that doesn't sound right (law degree)

8:03 am

the obligation of the executor is to make payments

8:03 am

... for free legal advice ... wait for jmc to get on ... ... but is the "company" incorporated? ... it didn't die ... so why are its assets frozen? ...

8:03 am

Good point. I shall. I guess this is more of a ethical question though. My nature tells me to just keep working away.....

Yeah, I don't think it does either... but I don't know enough to give any advice.

Or email her.

8:04 am

I must go - breakfast and work....hope it all works out for you soon car - have a great day everyone

8:04 am

he's done probate - while the will is in probate bills should keep being paid

8:04 am

car, how long have you not been paid?

8:04 am

It is not a legal question for me...just a practical one I guess.

8:04 am

byebye ((River))

8:04 am

going to take a break, bbl

8:04 am

I must be off, Annie needs to go out. (((Hugs))) to all of you

Well yes, car... and your concern is very understandanble.

8:04 am

Bye all!

8:04 am

I wouldn't not work because you would not want to be cited for anything. Hope that makes sense.

8:05 am

he says sometimes there's a little delay while things are being submitted to the court, but it should be short

Uhhh, 'understandable' even.

Bye for now and take care, car.

8:05 am

Just a few days late with the first check...but payroll is due again this Saturday.

8:05 am

the estate should be paying you, I would ask about this

8:05 am

Bye car. Good luck.

8:05 am

(I was sayign good -bye to the others...I am still here)

8:06 am

... were you employed by the company? ... or by the deceased? ... ...

8:06 am

Oh, oops :)

8:06 am

Frank says that if it doesn't resolve itself right away you should quit

8:06 am

I am a subcontractor. According to them, they have received checks from accounts that they cannot even deposit until this gets taken care of.

8:06 am

that is a sign that there is something wrong with the business

8:07 am

... agree

8:07 am

ah, that makes it different - you should file a bill with the court to make sure you get paid

8:07 am

You're a subcontractor? That does make it a bit different.

8:07 am

since you are not actually an employee - you are a creditor of the estate, which is different

8:07 am

It is a fine line. I do respect the family and their time of grief..this was very hard on all...and I am happy to wait it out...for a bit.

8:08 am

been watching...now itmakes sense.

8:08 am

Unfortunately, my dire financial situation does not allow for me NOT to be working

8:08 am

OK. So this is normal then? I should not panic and just let it work itself out.

8:09 am

you won't get paid until the probate is finished, which could be months even if they expedite it - all the accounting needs to be sorted out before creditors get paid

8:09 am

Hopefully the family will want to do right by the employee and subcontractors and get this issued of payment untangled. The sooner the better.

8:09 am

employees*

8:09 am

I feel if I say, "well that's it! I'm not working if I don't get paid" is harsh.

8:10 am

... as a contractor ... you are usually employeed by "you" ... you as a business should submit a bill to whoever ... the company or the estate ... is using your contracted services ... unless you trust everyone in the family ... and they are well meaning ...

8:10 am

as a sub,you go on the list with everyone else.but i warn you,often those who have been waiting formore funds or been waiting loger get paidfirst...if the govtis owed any money from the estate they get first kick at it

8:10 am

yes, exactly what dos says - you should file a bill with the court in any case to make sure you are on the list

8:11 am

yes get on the list

8:11 am

then any money owed to banks is often second on list

8:11 am

then the lawyers ofcourse

8:11 am

Oh boy. This is going to be messy isn't it?

8:11 am

and time-consuming, car

8:12 am

... yup

8:12 am

gak.

8:12 am

and if the company has bills you don't know about you could fall off the end of the list

8:12 am

car,i do not wish to say this,but i have been on a "list" for over ten years for 166 thousand

8:12 am

Well, I will keep a hopeful outlook and hopefully all will be well in a few days.

8:12 am

Oh god.

8:12 am

are you submitting your bills to the company now, or to the lawyers?

8:13 am

It has only been 1 pay period, so to the company. The next timesheet is due on Saturday.

8:13 am

Car, I imagine, of course, you wouldn't put it that way, but I'm sure that the family knowing that the business is currently halted, that you have to make a living. I don't see why they would take offense to that.

8:13 am

you might want to submit duplicates to the lawyers

8:14 am

There is still plenty of work coming in from the doctors.

8:14 am

went to court..got the judgement..but there is the list and the peoplein question left to a non-extraditable country..sigh and td waterhouse gets first dibs...

8:15 am

and if the next paycheck (and if you're not an employee it isn't really a paycheck, it's a reimbursement) doesn't come I would politely tell them that you understand that the will is being probated but in the meantime you need to earn a living

8:15 am

Oh Crossy! I am sorry.

8:15 am

... do you know if the family intends to keep the business going? ... If they are then I'd suggest that everything will just be inconveniently delayes ... ... but if they aren't ... then make certain that you get you bill in on time ... ... and regretably ... start looking for another position

8:15 am

car, I have to go to work, but if I learn any more from Frank I will send you a note on Facebook

8:15 am

no no,i have written that off at this stage in the game,but you make sure to geton the list car asap and contact family monthly

8:15 am

I do think they intend to keep it going. Several of the family members told me that.

8:15 am

Thank you!

8:17 am

I think for the time being I will just keep chugging along and do some research, get some contact names, etc. If it continues and drags out, then I have no choice.

8:17 am

squeaky wheel gets the grease

8:18 am

It's good to be loyal but also look out for yourself. You are the one you have to take care of.

8:18 am

as long as they alldo not vanish to bangledesh lol

Yes, boat.

8:18 am

Thank you all for your input. I do have to run now. I will keep you posted!

8:18 am

I wish you all a great day! {{hugs}} for those who may need them!

8:18 am

Bangledash is too crowded. You wanna get lost? Run to Brazil.

Haha, crossy... yeah. I'm almost your height.

8:21 am

My dad and I took a trip to Singapore back in '96 and I'm 5' 9" and I could see over every man's head there. Their eye level was my chest. Talk about sticking out!

Oh hey, crossy? Got something that may amuse you. Emailing.

8:22 am

at it in a few neil

i am so so sad after the terrible loss of a very loved MotoGP rider... Simoncelli. It has been a shock as I have followed him for 8 years into the top class. It was a terrible accident yesterday... only 24 years old and a great talent

crossy? What's the username on your address again?

Can't find you in my Gmail!

Yes, mrp. Heard about that.

8:23 am

crosshair ofcourse:)

8:23 am

Sorry to hear that mrp :(

OMG. :( 2 years younger than me.

boat, i tried to buy shoes there in 96... got laughed out of every store! LOL and I am only size 8

Such a tragic waste of a life. :(

8:23 am

crossy wears size 12,s

Wow. Or do you wear the boxes they come in, crossy?

it made me cry, so so much... he was a great guy and talented... but the sport is dangerous. You just don't want it to ever happen

8:24 am

lol

8:24 am

I didn't buy any clothes there, too expensive. But I could see that happening :)

for a six foot woman, i have small feet. don't know how I stand up :)

8:25 am

I'm 8.5, 9 shoe American. I don't think I would've had a chance buying any shoes there.

8:26 am

LOL! No doubt!

8:26 am

ohh a 6 footer....

my dad and I share the same foot size... he is a tall man with little feet too

8:26 am

LOL, crossy, you flirt ;)

8:27 am

mymrs is 5ft 2 inches,ican tuck her undermy arm and carry her like a package hehe

crossy is too gorgeous to me!!

8:27 am

That's adorable :)

8:28 am

8:28 am

sorry space bar is a mess

Space bar broken?

I see that. lol

crossy, I can understand that darling!!

Ok crossy, check email when you get a chance.

8:29 am

I dated a guy once that was a full foot taller than me, 6' 9". Had to stand on a curb to kiss him!

Wow, mrp. Your kids will be tall!

8:29 am

will do neil

He was 6' 9", boat? Seriously? Wow.

i am considered an 'amazonian woman'... attitude and height and the spunk to go with it!

8:30 am

Tall and lean, ya :) Looooong time ago.

my brother is 6'8" and gorgeous to boot

Nothing wrong with that, mrp.

8:30 am

we have a 16 year old boy in mysons schoolwhois just a hair under 7 feet..wears specialsize 18 shoes

wow, crossy. And at that age, he hasn't even finished growing yet either!

8:31 am

funny..hte kid hates basketball

8:32 am

Mrp, I used to get the Amazonian thing a lot when I worked out more.

same with my brother crossy!

8:32 am

mmmm all thoselong legs......

I am an 'old woman' now.... and still get too much attention for the hair, legs and lithe... as a referee... the boys fall over themselves when I manage their games... is too funny

8:33 am

but i think a tea is in order now..brb

oh I have great news!! I start working today... 12.33am here... and I am loaded on 5 games!! all Mens All Age too :D

8:34 am

I have 10 cousins on my dad's side of the family. I'm 5' 9" and I'm pretty sure they are all taller than me. Maybe one is not.

8:35 am

Great to hear mrp!! And the attention, that's the way it sould be ;)

thanks boati!!

I also have a men's over 35 game tonight... crap! they can be right arses!

they are usually older than me, and act like total babies! is difficult to control them as if they lose the ball, they spit their pacifier out!

8:38 am

iamsure you will keep themin linemrp

i will crossy... I am so so ready to blow the whistle and bring out the cards. I am not to be messed with now

the rules have changed for summer football, so have to be extra careful with my decisions after a certain amount of penalties/fouls... will be interesting

What is your job at these matches, mrp?

after 5 fouls/penalties, they don't get to form a wall to protect the goal. Can see that being an issue

I am centre referee neil... I control the game play

Oh, wow.

and having up to 20 men to deal with... it can be heated

i love winter football cause I have at least 30 men to deal with... and that is easier, believe it or not! LOL

I'm sure, mrp... and sure you can handle them. ;)

8:45 am

use your favoritewhip:))

30 is easier than 20?

apparently, I am a favourite ref.Go figure!

yes it is neil... cause the more on the teams, the more they control themselves.

8:46 am

hi all

8:47 am

8:57 am

hugs to you too, mrp!!!

8:59 am

I remember you mentioning that he was from there. I appreciate the boa :)

I did give car your email address, jmc... didn't think you'd mind under the circumstances.

And that's interesting, mrp... catching up here with what you said about the more on the teams, the more they control themselves.

9:07 am

Whoop-whoop! Just figured out an 8 all on own :)

9:11 am

9:12 am

You're sitting there looking at the letters and suddenly you just "see it" :)

Laters neil :)

9:15 am

Of course that's my only 8. But that's better than none :)

9:15 am

iamstill grinding through the c,s

9:17 am

I keep wanting to put in words like canape, carrot, carpet, etc.

9:21 am

is the 8 in the same theme as mostof the other es words?

9:22 am

don't drop your creamed carrot canape on the carpet!

9:22 am

Yes. The one who does the es...

9:22 am

yes, crossy

9:22 am

Oh then plural

9:23 am

Ew, creamed carrots.

9:23 am

they're strictly for alliterative purposes

9:24 am

One would hope!

9:25 am

what does the 9 start with?

9:26 am

Ro.

9:26 am

interesting, thanks

9:26 am

ro 9/54

9:28 am

9:28 am

with turning

9:29 am

9:29 am

turning with sort of a spanish ending

9:29 am

hi boat

9:37 am

boa, just noticed your recipe - have copied it, thanks - have a friend who is allergic to gluten, I'll try it. Recently found another choc. cake recipe using quinoa in place of flour - it is moist and delicious, you'd never know

9:37 am

hi flosey

9:38 am

hi carlee, how's it going?

9:38 am

saw earlier that you have a coffee date - sounds like a kind of person who would be good for you

9:39 am

ooh, it does look good, boa! Maybe I'll make it for Frank on his birthday :-)

9:39 am

Oh good! Hope they like it. Every time I've made it it's turned out really well and moist.

12:02 pm

i must go find something for hubz lunch, bbl

12:02 pm

no, i didn't think that i would be likely to use lots of features, so i thought i'd go for longer battery life instead.

12:03 pm

my sister ordered the fire, though.

12:03 pm

cool! hope you enjoy it

12:03 pm

speaking of kindle -- does anyone know if you can download books from the internet (not amazon, but library, etc) with it?

12:03 pm

tx have a good lunchhunt

12:07 pm

clue for the last es 7?

12:08 pm

es + actor's role + halo

12:08 pm

12:09 pm

u can dowloand books from library now with kindle

12:10 pm

oh super -- that's what I wanted to be able to do -- ty ivesy

12:10 pm

anytime nan

12:11 pm

how much are the kindles in the states, now? -- not sure if I should get one here before we leave or wait til we are going south

12:12 pm

kindle $79 as advertised on Amazon right now.

12:12 pm

think they run around $139

12:12 pm

really!! wow

12:13 pm

ok -- same as up here then, so it will depend on the exchange rate

12:13 pm

Kindle touch $99 Kindle Fire $199

12:13 pm

old or latest version, boat?

12:14 pm

I just pulled up Amazon and Kindles are on the front of their page and it says, "All New Kindle Family"

12:14 pm

can you download from the library with both?

12:14 pm

will have to take a look later

12:15 pm

I know nothing about Kindles. I though I'd look since you asked about price.

12:15 pm

i got the one with the keyboard, cause i don't like touchscreens.

12:15 pm

should be able to download from either

12:16 pm

first ph 5, please?

12:16 pm

i think you can download from libraries with any of the latest versions. i don't know if you have to do it with your local library that you have a card to, and if they have to be participating, or what

12:16 pm

Doesn't it depend on what your library has? What format they use?

12:16 pm

ph + how old you are

12:17 pm

and hi again,

12:17 pm

i think libraries have a certain thing and the readers have to be made compatible with that, not the other way around.

12:17 pm

our local library does have the service for members - will have to check on the codex they use, but I imagine it will be the standard one for libraries

12:17 pm

And you are right, hursh. Your local library has to be participating. And you can only " borrow" the download. After so many days, it goes away.

12:18 pm

it's funny because i resisted e-readers because i love books so much, but i'm kind of getting one for the same reason. my books get awful beat up being carried around in my purse, and being read over and over. so i'm getting the kindle to save my books, lol.

12:18 pm

the library site will tell u what readers are compatibile.then dowloand that program. to take a book out you have to have a card with your number and pin #.... u get it for 14 days here

12:18 pm

I think we get them for 60 days

12:19 pm

ap7?

12:19 pm

it ought to depend on how long the book is, lol

12:19 pm

u dont have to worry about renewing or an overdue, bcuz they go off after the time allowed

12:20 pm

but CAN you renew if you aren't done and you don't want it to disappear?

12:20 pm

NM

12:20 pm

no no, not NM

12:20 pm

ap + I am a *** been, (out of date oldie). 2/3 frozen water.

12:20 pm

yay thanks mixi!

12:20 pm

12:21 pm

second gr7,36?

12:21 pm

hello boat

12:33 pm

Hey ruby :)

12:33 pm

98 left.... pooo..... have to be to work at 4

12:34 pm

the 9is an RO and a weird plural.

12:34 pm

hello ivesy

12:34 pm

I'll try again, mixi

12:34 pm

hi there ruby

12:34 pm

thank you, I see what you mean

12:35 pm

ro -- something that turns around

12:35 pm

sounds like an operetta

12:35 pm

i like the big grids but sure wish they would do it on a weekend instead of a piddly 45 one

12:35 pm

ro 7 .... something that spins around .... ... ro 9 ... I suppose that it's a spanish or portugeuese plural or 7

12:35 pm

I feel the same way, Sunday was annoying, and there isn't enough time for this one

12:36 pm

hello dose

12:36 pm

... bonsoir

12:37 pm

It's like a Spanish ending but its not actual Spanish.

12:37 pm

The Ro 9 word that is.

12:37 pm

... true

12:37 pm

can you hear my dog barking?

12:38 pm

... echoes all the way here off the alps!

12:38 pm

I would expect so....

12:38 pm

maybe there's a boar in the garden

12:39 pm

need a clue for gr7 and 8 please?

12:39 pm

hello flosey

12:39 pm

hi ruby

12:39 pm

gr8 is the color plus a plural

12:39 pm

ty ruby

12:40 pm

gr7 was clued earlier, gr + beginning of Ike's last name

12:40 pm

sorry, have that, missing the next set

12:40 pm

oh, sorry, that's all I have

12:41 pm

I always thought that ra4 + e was a peep show

12:41 pm

As long as you know who Ike is.

12:41 pm

thanks, got it

12:41 pm

hahah boat

12:42 pm

lol, remember the I Like Ike buttons - they were even circulating in Canada

12:42 pm

When giving clue we Americans tend to forget about the internationality of this game :)

12:42 pm

Wow, now that something! Even up there :)

12:42 pm

... I'm afraid knowing Ike is a generational problem

12:43 pm

and how many Americans can name more than one Canadian prime minister?

12:43 pm

lol dose, am aging myself!

12:43 pm

in 7 plz

12:43 pm

Not even one, sorry :(

12:43 pm

... I teach high school ... if it happened before 1990 ... it didn't happen

12:43 pm

I can only name Trudeau

12:44 pm

sp 5 following expectorated?

12:44 pm

in + The Great E*****

and we can probably name many, many of your presidents ! But I agree with doseffing, there can be a major gererational gap when cluing.

12:44 pm

... you don't remember Diefenbaker ... who was hated by Kennedy

12:44 pm

But I can name LOTS of Canadian Hollywood stars. But I know that does not even begin to equal it out.

12:44 pm

... or Mulroney who sang when Irish eyes are smiling with Reagan ...

sure it does, boat :-))

12:44 pm

true, diane

12:45 pm

all I can name are the wonderful TV series being made there, superior to any others

12:45 pm

or the flamboyant Pierre Trudeau?

12:45 pm

lost me on that one flosey

12:46 pm

hi diane.. r u nice and warm?

12:46 pm

... or Pearson who wouldn't go to VietNam with Johnson

start with #1 John A MacDonald

12:46 pm

sorry ivesy, what a beautiful land*****, or sea*****

HIya (((( ivesy )))) YES.... !! But it was too hot last week... at least for me.

12:47 pm

Ike and Mamie? -- thought they were American icons? Surely you must cover WWWII history in high school?

12:47 pm

I would like some too hot! these old bones ache when it's cold!

12:47 pm

yes, I arrived in Ontario with Fall clothes, and had to borrow a T shirt from son

12:47 pm

Here's a little something. When I was in grade school one year on April Fools Day our local paper ran a story that Canada had bought our state Arizona on the front page. LOTS of people fell for it. It was hilarious!

12:47 pm

but it did cool off quickly, fortunately

it will be more moderate this week.... high of 91 for today... 99 and 101 are a bit too warmish but the house is beautiful and cool

12:47 pm

1:13 pm

An Eastern cottontail?

1:13 pm

1:15 pm

haha he just comes out and glares at me in the morning

1:15 pm

that's the one I am missing, jmc -- there are 2 of them -- have the first one

1:15 pm

Bunnies are prey animals so they are always vigilant and skittish.

1:16 pm

ah - got it

1:16 pm

1:16 pm

1:20 pm

that is why i think of you when i see my bunny

1:20 pm

did you finish the grid scrabs?

1:20 pm

just a sample pic as i had no camera at the time

1:21 pm

bye cyber thanks for the help

1:21 pm

Big ears, Crossy. Now, NO trapping or eating bunnies, please.

1:21 pm

nope,they are semi-endangered

1:21 pm

iwillleave them be..promise

1:22 pm

really? in canada or all over?

1:22 pm

I aim for halfway on grid. If there is a small grid (< 120) I do try to finish. But a few years ago I was cured of the compulsion to finish every grid.

1:22 pm

bc has a version of themas well jmc

1:22 pm

i approve scrabs i come for the chat as much as the grid

1:23 pm

did you mean an aversion to them crossy?

1:23 pm

but i admit when a grid is really small i itch for more words (not to be confused with morewords)

1:23 pm

no, imean a verson of them

1:23 pm

cure me of that compulsion scrab ??

1:23 pm

my space bar is sticking

1:23 pm

kidding

1:23 pm

haha flosey

1:23 pm

thanks for the ne clue nan

1:24 pm

Just be happy with finding half and then having time to do other things. Finishing is NOT required.

1:24 pm

i also almost never finish if it is over 200

1:24 pm

keep repeating...finishing is not required..finishing.....

1:24 pm

i am often happy with nbt

1:25 pm

there are bunnies in the grid!

1:25 pm

I no longer have that compulsion to finish

1:25 pm

bunnies! yum!..cough..imean pretty bunnies

1:26 pm

bad crossy

1:26 pm

i don't hear you ivesy! haha

1:27 pm

You may eat chocolate or marshmallow bunnies, but not real ones.

It was a challenge to myself to finish and reach the maximum points, but once done and maintained for a month or so, it is no longer important. I also found out you lose points even if you don't even log into Babble .

1:27 pm

mmm wonder if that cotton tail will stay still whilei get a ladle of warm chocolate?....

1:28 pm

really diane i am surprised!

1:28 pm

it must be chocalate not chocolate covered crossy

1:29 pm

lots of folks don't start grids lest they lose points!

hmmmmm.... a little sarcasm there jm ?

1:29 pm

for me,half the fun of babble is the chog and interacting with all you wonderful and interesting people.and even annoying a few...(crossy blows T,O a big kiss)

they still lose points but very few.

1:30 pm

oh i see well i haven't looked at my point since the first year i did this game

1:30 pm

i mainly look at rankings to find a profile with a list on listless days

I like the chog too when there is not too much overdone drama and you can certainly see personalities show themselves, as you read and observe. :-)

1:32 pm

I lurk when there is drama. The emoting is too much for me.

1:32 pm

yes i get unhappy with the drama and try to bring cheer into the chog even though i am soooooo not a mary sunshine type

aka "lurking". LOL

1:32 pm

the problem is so many people lurk because of the drama the drama is taking over the chog :-(

I just don't believe it all, and let it pass.

1:33 pm

fight back with relentless cheerfulness and gratitude!

1:33 pm

The drama reminds me of adolescence and I lived through that myself and with my nephews.

1:33 pm

*lurker*

1:33 pm

crossy fights backwith bacon!

1:33 pm

*holds up protest si** *

1:33 pm

hi ciocia!

1:33 pm

Howdy jmc, crossy, scrabs, diane

1:33 pm

scrabs you are kickin' butt in quote puzzler!

1:34 pm

is that a bunny and a kitty?

1:34 pm

howdy ciocia

1:34 pm

yes indeed

hi "lurker" judy..... from another confessed "lurker" LOL

1:34 pm

oh even i lurk sometimes! haha

1:34 pm

I do the grid daily but haven't been chatting much

1:35 pm

Today I did well and am close to your scores, Judy. Somedays I absolutely SUCK.

I've been playing for a year, and I certainly know whose feathers I would NOT like to ruffle !!

1:35 pm

well I've seen you in the #1 spot quite a bit Scrabs

1:35 pm

lol,ihave notlookedatmy score in almost 2years..lets see where i stand ...

1:35 pm

lol Diane, one sure does learn that one fast

;-))

1:36 pm

The ones that my brain cannot handle = Word Scramble and Honeycomb.

1:36 pm

i only worry when someone thinks i have said something rude to them

1:36 pm

Howdy Flosey

1:36 pm

and it hurts their feelings

1:36 pm

LOL Scrabs. I don't do them either

1:36 pm

but if they get mad i couldn't care less

1:36 pm

hi Judy and everyone, have been in and out today

1:36 pm

mmmm,crossy has a long way to go...

1:36 pm

Hey jmc, where are you hanging your hat these days? Did I hear you're in PA?

Hi Flosey..... how are things in beautiful B.C. ?.... that is if you are back home. We are planning a trip out to Victoria, and up the island, in late February.

1:37 pm

no in the other direction

1:37 pm

Judy, if you do NOT click on letters and just stare at the grid until you find the word in Word Scramble, the lowest possible score if 1050.

1:37 pm

in harrisonburg va not harrisburg pa

1:37 pm

aha jmc. somehow I thought you were in PA. Must be my half-zheimers

1:38 pm

and i am only there in the middle of the week--weekends are at home

1:38 pm

it is the harrisburg/harrisonburg dicotomy

1:38 pm

maybe I've got the wrong one Scrabs. I don't play the last two that are on the list. I know honeycomb is one of them.

1:38 pm

Hi folks, sneaking in to try and get a couple more words....very busy day at work today - need a bit of a break

1:38 pm

Greetings River!

hi, River :-)

1:39 pm

1:40 pm

1:40 pm

and occasional protest of the lack of recognition of some words

1:40 pm

222 left

1:40 pm

i find it hard to work with the workmen all around me

1:41 pm

you guys all just started....I was on early this morning running through the easy ones

1:41 pm

i was lying in my bed in my nightie reading until i heard the sound of a metal ladder bang next to my window

I can't look at Elegance's pictures crossy, as she's not on my friends' list but her profile picture looks inviting !!!

1:42 pm

yes that will make you jump out of bed pretty quickly..

1:43 pm

yepper!

1:43 pm

Next patient just arrived late. One mother showed up 40 min late this morning. I would never do that.

1:44 pm

I just loved it when my neighbor was leaf blowing at 8am sunday morning....wanted to go rip his throat out...my day to sleep in

1:44 pm

it sounds like they may be gone i am going to take a peek brb

1:44 pm

What JE???

1:44 pm

40 minutes...should have made them reschedule

1:44 pm

work crew on her house scrabbs

1:45 pm

should have made her wait

1:45 pm

they are still here just taking a coffee break

1:45 pm

But the baby was 14 wks old and missed appts for the 8 wk visit and needed vaccines. I couldn't punish the baby in spite of mama's irresponsibility. And this is her 5th kid.

1:45 pm

Oh, JE, I thought it happened during the night.

1:45 pm

this is true....I forget you are a baby Doc

1:45 pm

oh well 5 kids may explain the 40 minutes late

1:46 pm

can you talk to her about birth control? ;-)

1:46 pm

How rude, Scrabs. Especially when I'm sure you day is packed full.

1:46 pm

good idea jmc

1:46 pm

haha no since this is break i was trying to do some light reading before i got up this morning!

1:47 pm

I dont know how people can handle that many kids...phyically, mentally and financially. I find it tough sometimes with my 2 gettting them to where they need to go

1:47 pm

but getting dressed suddenly seemed like a really good idea

1:47 pm

my parents lost me twice

1:47 pm

no kids here; 5 would have put me in an institution I think.

1:48 pm

my hubby's parents left him at a gas station (one of six for him)

1:48 pm

i was one of 5

1:48 pm

we both wanted 3 kids

1:48 pm

head counts needed with that many

1:48 pm

we wanted 3 too but where only lucky enough to have 2

1:48 pm

yep river but it is always the time you forget. . . .

1:48 pm

*were

1:49 pm

well i am happy with my one--he is a cutie and a delight

1:49 pm

now I am glad we only had 2

1:50 pm

and when he stumbledupon babbleland he immediately recognized it from my description and kept stumbling to let me have my private place

1:50 pm

makes for a happy Mama

1:50 pm

does anyone else have problems seeing the grid? I have missing tiles, so had to go to Licketys site to see what I was missing. The S tiles are not showing up here; but on Lickety's site the R tiles don't show up in the small grid there. What is going on? (I have refreshed AND rebooted; the problems are still here)

1:50 pm

now if he would only get his crap out of my house

1:50 pm

no problem here - try refreshing Nef and hello

1:51 pm

no but that has happened to me before and usually completely rebooting fixed it

1:51 pm

oh you already did that....hmmm...cant explain it

1:51 pm

no problems here Nef

1:52 pm

are there some updates you need to install? i swear that microsoft sends tiny viruses if you don't update often enough to suit them

1:53 pm

I'm on a Mac; no updates to install; but didn't consider using a different browser, so will reboot AGAIN and try that now! Thanks!

1:54 pm

oh good idea i am using chrome now

1:54 pm

i have had so many fewer problems

1:54 pm

I am on explorer but that is what we use at work...I use firefox at home

1:55 pm

I should get back to work *stomps feet* nice to see you all - have a good rest of the day

1:55 pm

too bad river see you soon

1:57 pm

okay is there really such things as ba4/7 a soft, flattish bread roll in britain?

1:57 pm

bye River!

1:57 pm

Yes and until I moved to tne North West I didn't have a clue what they were

1:58 pm

2:01 pm

2:01 pm

*hands out party hats*

2:02 pm

Fair warning Sug, the Tile Stats will only show for an unpaid account for about two weeks. It's like a tease, then it disappears. Least that's what I remember.

2:02 pm

jax are you scottish?

ok, I'll let you know LOL

2:03 pm

but well worth the tiny price!

how much if I have to pay?

2:03 pm

something like $12

for the year i hope

2:03 pm

but it is a one time payment not monthly or anything

2:03 pm

It was like $12 or $15 ? I think.

2:03 pm

No I'm from Dorset in the South, but living in the North West of England now

2:03 pm

2:05 pm

sug, I joined back in 2005 for about $11; it's the best $$$ I've ever spent online! :-)

2:05 pm

2:05 pm

2:05 pm

Good luck

2:06 pm

*agrees with Nef. Best money spent online for sure.

2:06 pm

2:06 pm

I need to unpoof for a sec - I paid $19.99 in March 2010 when I joined....I would imagine it the same now or not much more...well worth it....poof again

2:07 pm

When I started playing there were no Tile Stats. Then one day they just showed up. I was like Cool! Then they disappeared. Sad day. That's when I decided to spend the money to join.

2:08 pm

do you know about lickety's list?

Thomas Hardy lived and wrote about Dorset

2:09 pm

Ah, before this day is through were gonna make you a hard core Babble addict!!

2:09 pm

2:10 pm

Anyone ever watch "The Biggest Loser?"

weird

Bad TV is so good.

3:50 pm

Yes, Kap I eat a hot fudge sundae with peanut butter while I watch it.

SeaSpray! My favorite soap watcher!

3:51 pm

lol Was just getting ready to fire up DOOL as I had to work today

Marlena and John and the candles...whoa boy.

3:52 pm

what is dool?

3:52 pm

AR5 PLS

We confess- Days of Our Lives!

3:52 pm

I saw the strawberry episode Friday...geesh

3:53 pm

lol.........

3:53 pm

I used to like him but he seems mean now

Strawberries and whipped cream- mmmmmmmmmmm.

3:54 pm

Do you not like The Biggest Loser Kap?

I never watched it before but I watched it last week

I can see where it can get addicting. TV was never so manipulative when I was a kid.

3:55 pm

Ar5= ar+ ink writing device

3:55 pm

Oh, I have watched it since it came on. Those people are amazing. I could never do what they do and I am a size 10...It would kill me

I would have a heart attack and I go to the gym and am not overweight

Are they trying to kill fat people or make them suffer?

3:57 pm

You would think I would have taken some nutrition lessons from them by now.

3:58 pm

I think both...they are not all successful however. I saw a former contestant who had gained all the weight back and then some.

3:58 pm

Has to be a life style change for sure

You can't sustain that kind of grueling physical work

3:59 pm

I wouldn

4:00 pm

oops I guess after they lose what they want they get into a "normal" routine to maintain

The thing with reality shows is that it's all in the editing.

4:00 pm

True

I'm watching last weeks- it seems so sadistic.

4:04 pm

When Jillian was on there it was bad...she was heartless

4:04 pm

nbt. Long day already.

4:05 pm

and hi again, all!

4:05 pm

Hi Sue

4:05 pm

hi, sea!

For merally- but my kids have grown up with reality shows and that worries meeresting cultu it's ant

4:05 pm

erm, what, kap?

Excuse me- my cursor is not working

My kids growing up with reality shows is a little scary.

4:07 pm

ah yes, it would be. I don't think mine has watched them much, but still.

4:07 pm

hi sue. I'm popping in and out right now; hoping that more words will show up doing this

4:07 pm

oh my, I watched Jersey Shore once...good grief! Who needs to see that stuff?

Heidi Klum is mean, Tyra Banks is mean- is it really more about sado-masochism?

4:07 pm

hi, nef! I've had a pretty busy day so I only have 58 words.

4:08 pm

although I don't know if you remember, but I was frantically reading all those dissertations and theses?

4:08 pm

Is Heidi Klum mean?

Is reading dissertations as hard as wrting them?

4:08 pm

we had the meeting today to pick the best one of each (best dissertation and best thesis) - and we all agreed! The meeting (scheduled for 2 hours) took 15 minutes!

4:08 pm

how are you doing, sue? Did you complete the reading?

4:08 pm

almost, kap!

4:09 pm

which one won?

4:09 pm

I did, nef, although I must confess I skimmed the two biology ones a bit, as I am not familiar with all the technical details.

which one won what?

4:09 pm

(and what made you choose the one you did?)

4:10 pm

I bet a lot of people did the same thing

4:11 pm

The one that won the thesis award was one where the student had created (bred?) a version of E. coli that was more tolerant to ethanol (usually they die in high concentrations of ethanol), so they can be used to create biofuels more efficiently

4:11 pm

and the dissertation that won was a student who developed a completely new way of fabricating solar cells that can make them much more efficient

4:12 pm

kap, we were selecting the best masters thesis and the best PhD dissertation for the past year at the university

ah.

4:13 pm

WOW! I was thinking that it would be the English one on African American violence!

4:14 pm

(wasn't th4 the one th4 you said made you want to read those books?)

4:15 pm

it was. But they were all so good!!

4:16 pm

Anyway, just for the heck of it, here are all the titles: Dissertations A Third Way To Change: Violence Against Whites In African American Novels From The 1970s. The Gold Coast, Jamaica And New York: Akan Ideas Of Freedom In The Afro-Atlantic During The Eighteenth Century An Investigation Of Formal Mentoring Pair Composition: The Impact Of Deep-Level Characteristics And Perceived Similarity On Match Fit And Relationship Retention. Implementing Quality Assurance At Royal University Of Phnom Penh, Cambodia: Perceptions, Practices And Challenges Dual Mechanisms For Sgrna3a-Mediated Recombination With Genomic Rna3 Of Brome Mosaic Bromovirus: The Role Of Cisacting Motifs And Viral Coat Protein. Collaboration And Connectivity: Women’s Impact On The Congressional Social Network. Yang: Fundamental Studies Of Nanoarchitectured Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells. Theses Development And Validation Of The Preschool Parent Confidence Questionnaire (PPCQ): A Parental Self-Efficacy Instrument. The Jíbaro Paradox Of Puerto Rican Cultural Identity. Improving The Performance Of Non-Transgenic Escherichia Coli Kc01 For The Homoethanol Fermentation From Xylose. A Lagrangian Relaxation Heuristic For Unrelated Parallel Machine Scheduling Problem.

4:16 pm

And a 15 minute meeting? You must have all felt the winners were head and shoulders above the reat

4:17 pm

Oops - left one name in by mistake. Oh well.

4:17 pm

well, the top two were very close but we all agreed on which one was slightly better. In both categories! I was amazed!

4:20 pm

just reading the titles is a bit off-putting

4:20 pm

I ran these meetings when I was the associate dean of the graduate school, and they got pretty drawn-out sometimes.

4:21 pm

It is, isn't it, nef? Made for an interesting week of reading :-)

4:22 pm

I can't imagine! Did you get time off from classes to read these? (it would only seem fair to me!)

4:22 pm

Nope, committee work is extra (and uncompensated - it's part of "service")

4:23 pm

"what did yo do in your free time this week?" "I read 'Dual Mechanisms For Sgrna3a-Mediated Recombination With Genomic Rna3 Of Brome Mosaic Bromovirus: The Role Of Cisacting Motifs And Viral Coat Protein.'!"

4:24 pm

that was one of the ones I skimmed a bit :-)

4:25 pm

and it was everyone's #2 choice for the dissertation prize - it has implications for creating new antiviral medicines

4:25 pm

eep! now that is a booktitleindeed!

4:26 pm

I only understood 16 words of the 22 in th4 title

4:26 pm

amedicaltome i assume?

4:26 pm

yeah, that one was 225 pages long

4:27 pm

it was one of the seven dissertations I had to read last week, crossy

4:27 pm

a dissertation, crossy. One of the 10 papers sue's been reading this past week

4:27 pm

ugh

4:28 pm

scroll dowen to 4:16 and see what some of the titles are

4:28 pm

daown, even!

4:28 pm

each one of the dissertations was over 200 pages; the masters theses were more like 50-70

4:29 pm

225 pages?!? OMG, 10 pages used to set me into a panic attack in college. Oi.

4:29 pm

oh drat! You knowe what I mean!

4:29 pm

just that titlemademepanic

4:29 pm

damn space bar

4:29 pm

is that still the rubber keyboard, crossy?

4:30 pm

University teaching woulde be the greatest job in the world were it not for the 'service' stuff. Being on Rank and Tenure is one of the grimmer 'service' assignments.

4:30 pm

I can't type and crossy can't space! LOL! :-)

4:31 pm

actually this was kind of fun except I had to read them all in a hurry

4:31 pm

nope sue,i fixed the s key on the oldboard and couldnot get rid of the rubber one fast enough,so of course 2 days later the space bar goes wonky

4:31 pm

and jan, one of the ones I have assiduously avoided is the Parking Appeals Committee

4:32 pm

ah, well, you can come fix the j key on mine then, crossy!

4:32 pm

225 pages is bascially reading a book.

4:32 pm

One of the standing jokes for accreditation committees is, whatever the school, the students will always be up in arms over parking.

4:33 pm

it was, boa, and there were seven of them! and the four theses together added up to an eighth book! It's been a long time since I did that much reading all at once.

4:34 pm

we are getting a housing complex in the next town over..,,500 semis and fully detached bgut no driveways.everyone parks centrally in a 3 level above ground parking complex

4:34 pm

Every parking ticket at got at university I challenged and had reduced. It was worth it.

4:34 pm

wow! Unloading groceries would be a real pain, crossy

4:35 pm

egad, that has potential for mayhem, crossy! What if they have guests?

4:35 pm

you unload at the curb,then go park

4:35 pm

Somebody ought to start a business ferrying folks from parking to their houses by gold cart.

4:35 pm

In the pouring rain? Or blinding snow? With three kids in the car?

4:35 pm

do notknow sue,the developer says having no driveways creates room for 50 more homes over the entire project

4:35 pm

squeezing them in like sardines

4:36 pm

now there is a job..in feb in 4 feet of snow jan hehe

4:36 pm

yeah, makes more money for the developer who is then out of the picture - then people have to live with it for decades

4:36 pm

indeed sue

4:37 pm

they hide the ramifications of such a design till it is too late

4:37 pm

<--- is in the wrong career

4:37 pm

sounds like it will end up being a low income "project" housing then

4:37 pm

any carrear where you fleece the consumer is not for a fine mind like yours suze

4:38 pm

yeah, I know, crossy, I would be rich but unhappy :-)

4:38 pm

yup

4:38 pm

biab

4:41 pm

Can I get clue for the gr 7/36 and gr 8/50 por favor?

4:41 pm

It kind of makes you wish the developer would have to live in such a planned housing project for 5 years or so

4:41 pm

The first set.

4:42 pm

A slang word for amphetamines and plural

4:42 pm

sorry, boati; I don't have it yet

4:42 pm

sorry, boa, I don't have very many actual words yet!

4:43 pm

ah, thx, jan, don't know why that helped me find them but there they are!

4:43 pm

Ha, I don't know slang for amphetamines :)

4:43 pm

Interesting clue though :)

4:43 pm

they are also a brand of chewy things for dogs that are supposed to clean their teeth

4:44 pm

I think it dates back a while. Baseball players used to refer to them that way, back before drug testing

4:44 pm

weird words

4:45 pm

gra or gre?

4:45 pm

Be back later...off to a job talk on international securities law. (Wish I could sneak my computer in and Babble there!)

4:45 pm

bye, jan!

4:46 pm

gre, boa

4:46 pm

Interesting - we use that word for environmentalists here

There's another gr 7, 8 combo.

4:50 pm

4:51 pm

Its OK if you have the time Shorty

4:51 pm

starts off pretty easy, shorty, but I haven't gotten very far in it yet

4:51 pm

It's shite! It's a bit on the tough side today...

4:52 pm

gr + a l** is a garland of flowers in Hawaii + you have 5 ****es, taste, touch, smell, etc.

4:53 pm

Thanks Molly, that's the one I have.

4:55 pm

Extend the last name with...telling l*** is telling falsehoods

4:55 pm

I'm working on the other gr 7,8 combo.

4:56 pm

Or color + a baby cr*** when it is hungry

5:03 pm

Hi Molly, boat

5:03 pm

Hey bichon :)

5:04 pm

Did those clues work Boat?

5:05 pm

Thanks. I appreciate your clues. I already had that particular gr 7,8. I'm working on the gr 7,8 above that one.

Hi boat. :)

And Sue. :)

5:06 pm

Hey neil :)

5:06 pm

anyone need any help. I'm up to the p's

Hey shorty... are you the same "shorty" I'm connected with on OMGPOP? Or is that an entirely different person?

5:06 pm

There are only two gr7/8 combos. The one I just clued is color + a baby cr*** when it is hungry. I think that is what you are looking for.

5:06 pm

The gr 7,8 between the gr 5/14 and the gr 6/24. Amd I seeing things, they are there, aren't they?

They sure are, boat.

5:07 pm

5:09 pm

Yes, that's the one I have.

5:09 pm

But what do you need boat?

5:10 pm

LOL!

5:10 pm

You said you had color + Ikes last name. That is another 7/8 combo

5:10 pm

hi, neil! (sorry, was off looking up the latest value of the Hubble constant)

5:10 pm

and hi, molly and bichon!

5:10 pm

gr7/87...color + l*** are tall tales or falshoods

5:10 pm

That's the one I have. I thinking that I thinking that they are all the same. So I am mooooving on.

5:11 pm

I give up

5:12 pm

Me too. I keep spelling out the clue you me and keep coming up with the same words. I would give up too :)

5:12 pm

Hi sue

5:13 pm

For the other gr 7/8 combo see molly's posting at 4.52. I got them from it

5:13 pm

me too, jax! and thanks, molly!

5:13 pm

Everyone keep saying color but I think I'm color blind.

5:14 pm

rhymes with meanies, boat

5:14 pm

Have you got the colour boat?

5:15 pm

gr5.14 is the color of leaves in the Spring...the 7/8 build on that

5:15 pm

Oh Jeses Mary and Joseph! I was looking for grey. No wonder I couldn't freaking see it!!!

5:16 pm

some of the leaves in my yard still are green and it's almost November

5:16 pm

the flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la..

5:16 pm

sorry.

5:16 pm

ooops off I go

5:17 pm

I kept spelling out Molly's clue and each time I was getting the word from the other gr 7,8 combo. I was so frustrated. But I got it now.

5:17 pm

Thanks all :)

5:17 pm

woot boat

Oh hi Sue... no problem. :) I'm busy answering IMs and emails anyway.

5:18 pm

Good thing it wasn't a snake 'cause I would've gotten bit.

Well if it was, hopefully it wouldn't have been a poisonous one, boat.

5:19 pm

Still would've hurt like a mofo!

5:26 pm

I'm stuck on se 5/10, the third one. Anyone?

5:26 pm

Forget that!!!

5:28 pm

are you okay, bichon?

5:29 pm

I'm fine, it's just that i missed a really easy word. I didn't want anyone to have to think about it

5:29 pm

I know this is a weird question but does anybody on here know about tongues?

5:29 pm

OOookay

5:30 pm

what about tongues, shorty?

5:31 pm

we all have them...; what do you want to know?

5:31 pm

Like mine hurts and is numb and feels like there is a film on it all the time

5:31 pm

ALL the time?

5:31 pm

did you Google it?

5:31 pm

(sorry, I'm a nurse)

5:32 pm

any discoloring or sores?

5:32 pm

yes all the time the dr perscibed me a mouthwash for it now its just numb

5:32 pm

what did the doc say about it?

5:32 pm

yes i googled it

5:32 pm

did you see a Dentist. They probably know more about tongues

5:33 pm

How is it hurting and numb at the same time?

5:33 pm

mith have thrush?

5:33 pm

Tongues are bad things to have something wrong with. Lot's of lymph nodes, etc

5:33 pm

myboy had that as a child

5:33 pm

my son is allergic to tomatoes and his tongue swells up and his taste buds get red and hurt

5:33 pm

that i had a reaction to Januvia but its been a long time since i took it

5:33 pm

it could hurt on the inside and be numb on the surface, maybe?

5:35 pm

its numb and it hurts at the same time I know its weird

5:35 pm

Januvia, is that a diabetes med?

5:35 pm

I still want to know what the doc said.

5:35 pm

over 4 weeks

5:35 pm

yes it is bichon

5:35 pm

neuropathy can make something feel both numb and painful; but I've never heard of someone having neuropathy of the tongue

Shorty? Are you the same "shorty" who's connected with me on OMGPOP?

5:36 pm

Did you see an ENT?

Or is that an entirely different person? Been wondering.

5:36 pm

that it was a reaction to that januvia

5:36 pm

Is that one of the listed reactions to Januvia?

5:37 pm

i dont think so negativeneil

Oh, ok. Thanks, shorty.

5:37 pm

Nef, doesn't thrush have little white bumps associated with it?

Sorry to hear about your tongue... hope you get some answers and help soon, shorty.

5:38 pm

me to negative thanks

5:38 pm

thrush can have white bumps or a white coating, Molly; but it can also make a mouth look angry red

yw. That doesn't sound like any fun.

5:39 pm

(kind of like a yeast infections; which is what thrush is)

5:40 pm

I Googled side effects of Januvia and it didn't specifically say swelling of the tongue

5:40 pm

what is the mouthwash the doc prescribed, shorty?

5:40 pm

magic mouthwash

Is it helping at all?

5:41 pm

Okay, I'm totally grossed out that thrush is a yeast infection of the mouth.

5:41 pm

Okay. That is very effective for sore mouths and tongues; used a lot on transplant and immuno-supressed patients

5:41 pm

yes it did but its gone now and now its just numb i had bumps on my tongue

5:42 pm

BTW, "we all have them..." That made me laugh :)

5:42 pm

Molly, yeast is an opportunisic organism that doesn't just grow in vaginas. It grows anywhere on moist surfaces where it can get a start

5:43 pm

Also, my dad's whitening toothpaste has made my tongue go numb. I stopped using it. Could it be that? (No pain though).

Wow, boat. What brand is that toothpaste?

5:43 pm

i am grossed out to molls

5:44 pm

magic mouthwash is real???

Hi jmc. :)

5:44 pm

Different brands. I thinks its the ingrediants. So I do not use whitening toothpastes.

5:44 pm

magic mouthwash is a combination of several things; one of which is lidocaine (a numbing agenty

5:44 pm

hi all

That photo you emailed me isn't the same picture as the one you have as your icon on profile, jmc?

5:44 pm

here for a minute

5:45 pm

it is the same one i have here today neil

5:45 pm

so any suggestions Nef?

5:45 pm

Some combo of lidocaine and benadryl...the mouthwash. This chat is SO disjointed.

5:45 pm

did you want to see the plan drawing instead?

again I walk into a weird discussion...

No. You have a drawing/diagram of your house as your icon right now, jmc. What you emailed me is a photo... entirely different.

5:45 pm

haha well you walked into the chog kap

Isn't that usual on here, Kaplan? lol

5:45 pm

yes it helped when i had it

5:46 pm

you need to refresh your browser sometimes neil

5:46 pm

Oh Kaplan if you only knew. You missed the whole match and canker sore disscusion earlier :)

5:46 pm

when did the doc order the magic mouthwash and how long have you used it (also how many times per day)

Yes, jmc... the plan/drawing.

5:46 pm

she's updated it here, neil, maybe you need to refresh to see it? (jmc's icon, that is)

5:46 pm

i will send you the drawing

Thanks. :)

Sue, I did that.

5:46 pm

What's confusing Kap? Yeast infections, magic mouthwash or the email discussion?

It's still the plan/drawing on here.

Yeast infections in mouths.

Bleeaaughhh.

5:47 pm

neil, I saee her sort of house

5:47 pm

well, that happens sometimes, neil; peri couldn't see her balloon icon for a couple of days once despite reloading, restarting, and even rebooting! so go figure.

5:47 pm

I can see your photo JMC.

5:48 pm

ARGGG! I can't type today! Fat fingers

Yes, Nef. It's a drawing/diagram/plan, but not a photo. What she sent was a photo.

5:48 pm

3 x a day on 10/10 1 tablespoon

I got to see John and Marlena licking strawberries and whipped cream today, Molly.

5:48 pm

One of our dogs suffered from yeast infections in her ears. Made her crazy.

I'm aware and I did refresh the browser, jmc.

So not sure what's wrong, if you have the photo on profile now? Weird.

5:49 pm

DOOL!!!

5:49 pm

ok, kap, do I want to know who John and Marlena are?

5:49 pm

I see a photo neil (and I have to use Safari today because Firefox is wonky and won't give me all if the letters in the grid

Is that like having a headache in your stomach?

Probably a "cookie" issue.

No, Sue, you don't.

5:49 pm

then it may be time to reboot because i took that drawing down yesterday

Wow, Nef. You're finding that now too?

5:49 pm

ok then, kap :-)

That's happened with my Firefox lately. So now I'm using Google Chrome instead.

5:49 pm

I was suppose to swallow it but thats just grosss swish and swallow ewwwwwww i called and asked them did i have to swallow it they said no u can gargle it

5:49 pm

I knew someone who was diagnosed with abdominal migraines once...

5:49 pm

OMG, Seeing John and Marlena lick strawberries off of each other would be totally woth seeing!!

5:50 pm

the only person i want to see licking strawberries and whipped cream is me

No, they were just feeding them too each other---slowly...

Could be, but I don't reboot every day. Have work open on here now, so don't want to do that yet.

5:50 pm

yeah i had to dump firefox too

5:50 pm

Excellent :)

WTH is an abdominal migraine?????

5:50 pm

so any suggestions Nef?

5:51 pm

neither do i neil--but sometimes you just have to

5:51 pm

WTF is an abdmoinal migraine?

Abdominal migraines, Sue? Uhhh, ok?

5:51 pm

in Firefox 8 Beta, the grid is fine, but the stats are hosed, if sequential, on Mac

5:51 pm

we'd have our transplant pts swish and try to swallow magic mouthwash every 3-4 hours. Usually they could swallow every other dose (if any)

5:51 pm

a yeti with a headache

Well sometimes I can't, jmc. Not until I save certain things I'm working on.

5:51 pm

JMC, LOL :)

5:51 pm

i understand neil

5:52 pm

beats me what an abdominal migraine is, but it turned out she didn't have one anyway, it was a hernia

Ok Seain... how can stats be "hosed"?

5:52 pm

Ah! A hernia, that makes sense.

5:52 pm

Okay, this chat is like the Twilight Zone. Yeast infections in the mouth and abdominal migraines.

5:52 pm

hi dc! long time no see!

5:52 pm

did you see an ENT, shorty or did your regular doc prescribe it? I'd definitely see an ENT if it's gone on this long

I guess it was a comparison of pain level, Sue? I'd question the credentials of any doctor who thinks migraines occur in the abdomen though. Geez.

I have an earache in my knee.

5:53 pm

*stomps around in snowshoes looking for the abominal migraine*

5:53 pm

This chog is fantastic. Don't forget the strawberries and whip cream :)

Haha, Kaplan!

5:53 pm

hi, jmc, nef, kaplan, boa, sue, neil, et al :) I've spent today studying, but am taking a short break

5:53 pm

Hope you don't get a hemorrhoid on your lip, Kap.

5:53 pm

An earache in your knee a.k.a. a torn ACL.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

A friend of ours once said she went to an ER and some foreign doctor there referred to her elbow as her "ankle". Yikes.

5:53 pm

hi, dc! nice to see you here!

5:53 pm

omg i haven't laughed so much in the chog for a while!

5:54 pm

what are you studying dc?

I know, jmc... I'm doing the same!

5:54 pm

and I went to the ER once with chest pains and was told (once it was clear that I wasn't having a heart attack) that I should see a psychiatrist. Turned out to be pinched nerves in my neck.

5:54 pm

this is what the chog is meant to be!!!!!

You wanna hear dumb? I had taken a pair black shoes on a short trip to Vermont and accused my husband of losing one of them...

OMG, Sue. *headshake*

5:54 pm

hi dc and everyone else who's joined the crazy chog!

5:55 pm

well uu you are a woman so if you are not having a heart attack it must be in your mind

5:55 pm

what had happened to the show kap

5:55 pm

no i didnt see a ent

because I thought it fell out of the car. So I looked online for them, and couldn't find them in black, but saw them on ebay, one tan and one olive green so I bought them both

5:55 pm

no i didnt see a ent

5:55 pm

i'm studying for my VA Real Estate License, jmc

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

no i didnt see a ent

5:55 pm

Oh bad Kaplan.

5:55 pm

no i didnt see a ent

thinking I could dye one

and then my husband came home and found the other black shoe in 10 seconds

Wow. Must be lagged in here... suddenly, a whole bunch of posts sprang up... weird?!

5:56 pm

If it was a man with no evident signs of cardiac problems for chest pain, they would have told him it was gas.

5:56 pm

well, you could still dye one to match the other, kap :-)

5:56 pm

and shorty seems to have had the hiccups, neil :-)

5:57 pm

shorty, I would definitely ask your primary doc for a referral (so it's covered by your insurance if necessary).

Got the email jmc, thanks... looks good!

5:57 pm

hi all. any clues for the 8s or the 9?

5:57 pm

I hope the only place someone sees an ent is the movie screen. 'Cause that would just be weird.

Now I have 3 pairs of faux suede shoes (really cute) in size 7. Anyone wear a 7? They are comfortable tie shoes- brand new

5:58 pm

Clues? What are those?

Hiccups, Sue? She needs a good fright then. [emails her a pic of me first thing in the morning]

If you followed my story- it was broken up by ents.

5:58 pm

Kap; just enjoy them with your different outfits

5:58 pm

Hahahaha...like I need another pair of shoes.

5:58 pm

dc my boy is studying for his license in DC since there are no jobs

5:58 pm

They weren't expensive and I got the black pair in a consignment store even tho they were brand new

5:59 pm

5:59 pm

sorry, kap, my feet are way too big

5:59 pm

5:59 pm

<---Wants to hear about cute boots

The other day I lost my phone and my husband found it in the bathtub- fortunately

5:59 pm

hahaha!

it wasn't wet.

Molly do you wear a 7?

Life is so complex when you lack executive functioning.

6:00 pm

No Kap, I don't wear a 7

6:00 pm

Does the bath tub wear a size 7?

Brain function that is.

6:00 pm

i got them at dsw and they are ankle lenth suede with sorta of a crushed look to them and look terrific with my jeans

6:00 pm

that's exactly why i'm getting my license, too, jmc, no other jobs out there.

No boat- that was the phone not the shoe.

6:00 pm

<---LOVES DSW

6:00 pm

i wear a 10 or 11 depending onthe shoe

Haha, Kaplan. Red lentil brains?

6:01 pm

6:02 pm

Yes, I have a red lentil brain :)

6:02 pm

the 9 is the odd pl of the ro7

6:02 pm

Red lentil or red mental?

I'm sure... they're good protein.

6:02 pm

With a dash of cumin makes the best soup :)

6:03 pm

i am so hungry!

Oh yes, I love lentil soup.

Has to have cumin in it!

there was an expose in the Boston Globe today about how restaurants sneakily serve the wrong fish to customers.

6:03 pm

<---Would rather starve than eat lentils and cumin

6:03 pm

I'll post my lentil recipe in my profile.

6:03 pm

sorry no ro 7 here.

6:03 pm

they uncovered some of the ta4/5 on the back of my house today--but i didn't get out to see what they have done

One of them is called the Laxative Tuna.

*headshake*

6:04 pm

Thanks boat. I'll have to try it. :)

6:04 pm

i am not a fan of lentils either but cumin does help molls

6:04 pm

For the ro 7 think "to turn".

I like lentils.

6:04 pm

ro7= an athlete may tear his ro7 cuff

I have to go talk to my husband because he is feeling ignored.

Ok, gotta get going... have someone coming over in a little while to look at the car I'm selling.

Take care!

Please do. Hey/Hi to everyone :)

6:11 pm

I usually use the regular lentils not the red.s there a difference other than color?

I need to go make supper now DH has "hit the wall" and is totally exhausted after peeling tomatilla skins off our harvested ones

7:02 pm

BBIB

7:02 pm

ttfn nef

Nef what the heck is tomatilla

7:04 pm

Goodbye Nef! I'll see you later tonight in chog maybe

7:05 pm

ap 7 please

7:05 pm

Herin it is a type of tomato used a lot in mexican dishes particularly salsas

Ok I think I have heard of them here as cherry tomatoes unless it is a different breed

7:06 pm

it is green with a paperish skin and very good

7:06 pm

I should say a paperish husk as they have skin like a regular tomato underneath

7:06 pm

tomatillas are the key ingredient in salsa verde

7:07 pm

Well, over halfway and nbt/nbs -- that's it for this one. Back after the flip -- see y'all later and thanks for the clues etc.

7:07 pm

or green salsa =)

7:07 pm

ok Jilli see you later

7:08 pm

have fun at bridge, jilli

7:08 pm

never called gr5 salsa here, tough that is accurate.

7:09 pm

No bridge tonight -- partner sick with a bad cold -- going to our neighbourhood association's AGM.

7:09 pm

oh oops my bad, heading to the PB hope there is chocolate in there

Can I say the new couch is awesome

7:09 pm

oh, well have fun with that then, jill :)

7:09 pm

ar5?

7:10 pm

that good to hear, herin

Take care Jill

7:10 pm

I think they finally gave up around here and started calling it gr*** salsa after people kept asking what is was when it was listed as salsa verde, lol

7:11 pm

I dont have it Bea looking

7:11 pm

back.. It seems I have to actually COOK some food tonight! The sausages are raw! and thanks for answering the tomatilla questions DC and meliae

7:11 pm

i, OTOH, grew up in, and still live in, an area that is heavily Spanish-speaking, so most people have at least restaurant-level comprehension.

ar 5/12 ar + a writing instrument that has ink in it

7:12 pm

and, just for the record, Locatelli Romano is still my favourite cheese on pasta

7:12 pm

ty, luv

7:12 pm

ty, luv

I think I should continually bother Lucius for running across me when I was sleeping

7:12 pm

I tried growing some last year when I was in Portland they did very poorly I only planted one plant I think perhaps you need 2 for proper pollination

7:13 pm

thank you Luv

7:13 pm

DH planted 4 plants and they took over most of the tomato garden! I don't know if that's normal; but we didn't expect that

We had a tomato just sprout up in the middle of the lawn

7:14 pm

wow, where in the states do you live Nef? I would love to try growing some again

7:14 pm

they're a vine, so yes, that's normal. Next time, plant them in a tomato cage surrounded by large chicken wire

7:14 pm

In MN -in the Twin Cities

7:15 pm

cooll, you'll have fresh fruit ere long then, heriin :)

7:15 pm

hmm so a smaller growing season than here, I will have to try again, perhaps I just got a bad plant lol

We haven't tended it but it was so random and weird

7:16 pm

could have been too wet, too mel

7:16 pm

DC, we had them in a tomato cage and put 2 7 foot trellises up also ; but they just went wild when I had my surgery (we had all that rain the first half of the summer too)

7:16 pm

we smashed pumpkins one year in the garden that had gone bad, we had pumpkins coming up everywhere the following year, same thing with tomatoes, the kids thought it was great =)

We didn't throw any tomatoes there which was odd.

7:17 pm

friends growing up had a meter and a half square tomato tangle -- about 8 varieties. We harvested what we could reach, the squirrels and birds ate what they could, and the rest fell and regrew each year. Delicious!

Is it mean to bother the cat when he woke me up?

7:18 pm

herin, we often have "volunteer" tomatoes here too. Sometimes if the seeds drop in the right place they just decide to grow there (the darn squirrels "help with that; not only tomatoes, but also lots of other seeds

no herin it is not, it is your Bday you can do what you want to.

7:18 pm

as long as you're gentle about it and he's not in REM, it's cool

7:18 pm

wow dc that is awesome and would be fun

7:18 pm

hiya, red

'lo

Thanks Red. Nope he always wakes up at movement. Darn it.

Nef we don't have squirrels maybe birds

7:19 pm

tomatos with salt and vinegar, tomato sandwiches, tomato sauce, fresh salsa, the list goes on :)

7:20 pm

Here is a story of clues for you all to sc 4/5. I believe we can all ag5/14 that we've all wished for something at one time or another. I wish I had a magic ge 5/14 who could make all my wishes come true. Of course I have several wishes, but here are just a few. I wish I had the nerve to leave hubby. I made huge er5/10 in marrying him.I wish I could leave hubby and go live in As5/12,Colorado. I wish my husband would get out of his egocentric ph5/14.My husband has been enra4/5 in himself for many years. I wish I could make se5/10 of his selfishness, but I can't. I wish he would just sn 4/5 out of it and think of me just once. I wish that I could esca5/14 my marriage and go live in my own sp 5/14. I wish that I didn't feel tr4/5ped in an unhappy marriage. I wish I could get just one little positive si 4/6 telling me I should not leave him.I haven't gotten any positive si5/14 in a very long time. Finally, I wish mo 4/5 than anything else to find happiness in my life again. My husband is being a br4/6. Hubby wants the computer. I'll be ni4/5 and give it to him.I don't want to get into a sp 4/5 with him. I am going to go watch the movie The Gr6/27 of Wrath.I hope that you have se 4/4 some words. Perha4/6 I will come back to this web pa 4/7 later tonight to help with clues if needed.

7:20 pm

hi red! How are you?

7:21 pm

Thanks, Min for the story! (You know I love to read them!)

I'm well Nef, how are You?

7:21 pm

YW

thanks Minver, I got a lot of words from that, as I have just started.

7:23 pm

yw Nef and redturtlehead

Min you are a good person you need to find your wings

7:24 pm

Thanks herinfernallady!

7:25 pm

(((Min))) I always hope that these are just stories, but....

7:25 pm

Happy Birthday to YOU, herin!

Seriously take you time find your wings. It can be hard after years of them being crushed

7:26 pm

red, I'm doing fine; but am very lazy these days. I need to recharge my inner batteries to get back on some sort of schedule again

Awwww Thank you perri

7:26 pm

According to him I am "psycho". I guess that depends on person's definition of psyco. Oh well it is what it is

7:27 pm

well, Min; if you are "psycho" it's never appeared here! So I think he is full of it

7:27 pm

It's your birthday herinfernallady! Sorry to rain on it!

Min there is networks out there to help you. SEriously. I wish I could have back 5 years of my life but you can't. You should enjoy it

7:28 pm

Thinking happy thoughts for herinfernallady's b-day!

7:29 pm

Herinfernallady, I hope that you had a great birthday

7:29 pm

thanks min, had most but enjoyed/appreciated the insight... manipulators are the bomb in making thinking others are the ones with problems in relationships... always make those who care and are trying to make it a two way street believe they haven't done the right thing or enough of the right thing... ... hope pb is not in my future on this one but prob it as I didn't even check out the grid thru this...

7:30 pm

and sorry herin, hope your birthday has been most wonderful!

I had a great day. Can I please share the most funniest cat video

7:30 pm

please!

7:31 pm

My story could also put me into the PB too because I didn't finish the grid yet either. I gave up on the grid

7:31 pm

LOL, herin; my cats are going nuts trying to find the cat in the computer! I had to come back when they knocked all the papers off my desk trying to find the meowing cat!

Winston is the best Cat ever that and Jupiter

I love the guys from Barely political. Dc Pepsi in general tastes too sweet

7:42 pm

my cats are crouching around the computer looking for Winston! :-) (I need to visdoe this later, after supper)

Awesome

Winston is a great kitty. Have you seen Jupiter the talking cat?

7:47 pm

okay, eating supper at the computer tonight just to bug our cats. No, I haven't seen Jupiter yet

Rats. I thought God was a cyclops.

7:52 pm

ty for it even ;)

7:52 pm

not that God is a cyclops or anything

7:53 pm

G-d could be a cyclops, or have a thousand eyes, there is no knowing what 'in his image' actually may mean

7:53 pm

It would explain that whole "eye in the sky" thing.

OK kidlets. Have a fantastic day. This grid is being a pita

8:19 pm

ty for the warm welcom

8:19 pm

he's better, lbd, went thru the dog door for the first time today, he still staggers if he doesn't wait to think where he's going

8:20 pm

Snuz, welcome to the game. There's a wonderful Help box right above this chat box; and I always tell all Newbies to scroll down to the bottom of the page and go to Friends of Babble and look for AngelSong's Babble page

8:20 pm

he went to his dry food bowl today (I've been feeding him a mix with canned and pills)

8:20 pm

braph

8:21 pm

oops

8:21 pm

it's good he's eating, shdy. my dobie wouldn't eat, had to feed him cat food or baby food.

8:21 pm

no worries, snuz, we've all thought in the wrong box!

8:21 pm

Snuz, everyone does that from time to time. Just try not to do it with real words. :^)

8:21 pm

besides it's not a real word, snuz.

8:21 pm

how long did he make it?

8:21 pm

And actually, since it wasn't a word, I'm VERY disappointed! :)

8:22 pm

lol c

8:22 pm

after his diagnosis, about a year.

8:22 pm

shady, is he eating and pooing okay? Does he stay upright (any new si 5/14 of improvement?

8:23 pm

big sigh, lbd, nef, yes, he is eating and upright

8:23 pm

much to my relief, he was able to poo alone the first day home

8:23 pm

Whew! Good News!

8:24 pm

i was trying to figure out how i would support him, and he hates to poo with others around

8:24 pm

those are good si5, shdy. try to keep him from chasing squirrels and acting like he was half his age!

8:25 pm

well, lbd, he chased today, because nico did, my biggest fear is that i have to go to the office tomorrow - i'm terrified that he will fall in the pool

8:25 pm

Are you doing PT exercises with him? ;-)

8:25 pm

not really, nef, he was pretty increpit before!

8:25 pm

is there a fence around the pool?

8:26 pm

no

8:26 pm

i bought the pool for him, it came with house, but that was 2 or so years ago

8:26 pm

is there anyone who can watch him while your at work?

8:26 pm

have you taken him in the pool since his stroke? Can he see to the right and left; or does it seem as though he's not seeing so well?

8:26 pm

wrong, the house came with it

8:27 pm

he seems to see ok, it's more about balance

8:28 pm

from what i have observed yesterday and today, i feel that if he did fall in he would be coherent enough to get to the steps

8:28 pm

how can I have 48 left with only s's and t's.

8:28 pm

no, lbd

8:28 pm

bcause there are a gajillion s's and t's, wht

8:29 pm

i thought i would be safe because he wasn't able to use the dog door, but now he can

8:29 pm

I see you have counted them lbd.

8:29 pm

i had to, wht inorder to find them! lol

8:29 pm

can you kennel him (is he used to it?)

8:30 pm

hi again, all!

8:30 pm

the last time he was kenneled he was in the pound about 13 years ago for 4+ months

8:30 pm

hi sue

8:30 pm

hi, nef!

8:30 pm

Oh my goodness, I thought shdybr8 was talking about a spouse...then I read about the dog door

8:30 pm

hi sue

8:31 pm

my life has finally calmed down, slightly, so maybe I can get half way?

8:31 pm

and hi, shdy!

8:31 pm

sorry sea, i'm not sure (also not sure) the conversation would be different? lol

8:31 pm

LOL, shdy, I don't even know when our dog was last kenneled (we got him when he was 8 and have never kenneled him here)

8:32 pm

probably not lol

8:32 pm

sue, half way should be easy for you. It's the second half that's tough! :-)

evening all. may i beg uashamedly for the last three?

8:32 pm

i have put him in a kennel in the back of a truck to go to the dog park - but have never contained him at home

8:32 pm

Yes you may, TO.

8:33 pm

well, we'll see, nef, right now I am at 93...

8:45 pm

ta the 2nd 7,32 any clues?

8:46 pm

Thanks MollyL!Although it is a sad story today,I hope it helped you out some.Sometimes good can come out of bad. Hoping to see light at the end of tunnel soon.

8:47 pm

ta7/32 #2 is the main "foot" of a tree or shrub

8:47 pm

Good attitude Min. Keep believing in the light.

8:48 pm

Hubby says I am a very negative person, so trying to be more positive & make the best of a bad situation.

8:49 pm

we all have negatives, they come in cycles... hanging tough until they pass makes you stronger and allows you to help more people who are in crisis mode (if you choose)...

8:50 pm

I had a hubby who said that too, min (that I was a very negative person) - I wasn't, when I wasn't around him! (And now I am not around him any more, thank goodness!)

8:50 pm

and just saying ... anyone who "admits" a loved one says they are "such-n-such" (negative or whatever) is usually the person who has the sanest perspective of the issues at hand...

8:51 pm

{{{{{min}}}}}

8:51 pm

if one is in denial, they don't 'admit' that someone else has 'accused' them of being 'whatever'... usually, that is a manipulative skill displayed by the accusee... again... just sayingl

8:52 pm

spouses are not always the most objective source of information.

8:52 pm

no kidding, wht!

8:52 pm

did that come out right?

8:52 pm

made sense to me, amelu!

8:53 pm

personally, in all the years we've chatted here; I've never heard you being negative (except in this last years' stories; and they really might be saying that HE is the negative in your life)

8:53 pm

referring to your sig-ot min... whew, thanks..

8:54 pm

I can be negative, however, I think I'm more positive compared to the rest of his family. I also believe I am more positive when I am not around him. However, I cannot blame him for my bad moods. I think that you choose to be in the mood you are in.So if you are in a bad mood, then that is your choice. You can choose to be happy or angry. I think life is all about choices.

8:54 pm

May I please have any clues for th in's (I do have 5-10). Thannks

8:55 pm

Sue, that is a good point. If you are only negative around a particular person, it's usually because they have that affect on you. It's a wake up call when you realize that.

8:55 pm

Open mouth in6 foot.

8:55 pm

I have a 6/18... to put into...

8:55 pm

add a cons. in the middle of the in5

8:55 pm

The first sa5/14?

8:55 pm

some of us are in5,12 at making clues.

8:55 pm

it took me 7 years (literally) to realize that his problems were not caused by me nor were they actually my problems... and another two years to "retrain" my brain/emotions to be the "bad guy" and say we'd made a mistake and needed to move on alone, in separate households...

8:55 pm

well, min, that is at least partly true (that you choose your mood), but I think that it matters what other people do, too. My ex always tried to get out of the consequences of acting like a jerk by telling me that my reaction wasn't his fault.

8:56 pm

aw, min. you've always been a bright light here. choice might be appropriate mostly, but not when you're so weighted down.

8:56 pm

He was still a jerk, no matter how I reacted.

8:56 pm

Thanks much, wht.

and Min; you can choose your moods, but if one person is always bringing you down, is that really a "choice?"

Min, I don't know your husband, but it's been my experience that people who have bad self esteem often try to put others down.

9:01 pm

They try to boost their egos by doing that?

9:02 pm

I'm reading over what I've "said" and not sure that it makes sense to anyone else, but *shrug* it is what it is... I've noticed that most of the people here (this chog) are up front, even if they may sell themselves short (enabling their sig-ot --- myself included), making us all more introspective than we need to be sometimes... I know I wasted many years trying to figure out what I did wrong (on a daily basis) when in actuality, nothing... we (ex & I) were just not meant to be together long term...

9:02 pm

sorry, just got in a chatty mood for a sec...

9:02 pm

they do, sea, it makes them feel like they are better that someone else (if they can make someone else feel worse)

9:02 pm

I have TERRIBLE self esteem.Been that way my whole life so maybe what he says is true. However,what he sees as me always putting him down,I see as pointing out some negative things about him that are true.He does not like to face the truth so then he is in denial.

9:02 pm

that was very well said, amelu!

9:03 pm

But, I always thought they just made themselves look like an ass. lol

9:03 pm

I know I'm FAR from perfect and I'm willing to accept that. However, he cannot take any type of criticism.

9:05 pm

you said it earlier, min, egocentrism

9:05 pm

Min; think for a minute: does your superior or your co-workers think that you are negative? If not; there you go!

9:06 pm

Good on ya, Spray! It took me years to be assertive enough (and verbal enough) to realize there is a difference between telling someone they were full of crap and just accepting they were fuil of crap, LOL...

9:06 pm

he perhaps sees himself as the center of all that happens. it's more like narcisism (sp)

9:06 pm

But then again, he says that about me too.I think we are too busy pointing fingers at each other & then it becomes a contest of which person is right or wrong.

9:07 pm

Oh I know amelu, I was the same way. Wouldn't say anything...not anymore...I guess age does that

9:07 pm

Sometimes, people go on the attack when criticized, because the criticism echoes all the bad things they say to themselves.

9:07 pm

I"m critical of everything..

9:08 pm

And their mother said, and their ex said, yadda, yadda, yadda. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

9:08 pm

wow ru...you would surely beat me down

9:08 pm

(tks, uusue2, ... you're difficule to make shorter... uu? sue? usue? LOL!)

9:08 pm

why take short cuts sea..lol

9:08 pm

I think everybody needs a page of affirmations to read every day about how they are a decent person. Saying positive things about yourself TO yourself makes a big difference in your self esteem

9:08 pm

lol

9:09 pm

Amen Nef.

9:10 pm

ruru, we like you because you are you. ;-)

9:10 pm

sue is good, amelu :-)

9:10 pm

:D

9:10 pm

definitely!

9:10 pm

I tend to piss off people unintentionally sometimes .. happened yesterday.. and I wasn't even commenting to the person

9:11 pm

it's your aura, ru! or dirty socks! LOL

9:11 pm

*sniffs armpits*

9:11 pm

LOL! must be dirty socks

9:12 pm

Anway,thank you for listening and words of advice. I do not know what got into me because I am usually a VERY private person. No need to be negative in chog

9:12 pm

still can`t find the 2nd ta7,32 any more clues?

9:12 pm

Ru, just for the record, I saw how that went down yesterday. It was the by-product of a) the written wrod being two dimensional and b) too many conversations going on at once in chat. You meant no harm.

9:12 pm

well, if you need any positive affirmations, we are here for you, min!! take care of yourself - I think several of us have been where you are.

9:13 pm

majmom. Compound word. To knock + plant part

9:13 pm

Wrod? Word

9:13 pm

ta+ consonant, a type of shoe and dance + the foot of a plant, holds it down in the soil

9:13 pm

you need to let it out somewhere min, we're here

9:13 pm

the 2nd ta7 is the long ro4/4 of a weed or tr4/4/

9:13 pm

thanks Molly..

9:13 pm

My viewpoint: if you can look yourself in the eye in the mirror, say "I love you" and admit that it's true that's the first step toward self realization... being honest, not narcissism.

9:13 pm

I was kind of blown away.. I was talking to neil and not to the other person

9:13 pm

jeez, I type slowly!

9:14 pm

ty so much ibdawger been looking along time but not seeing-

9:14 pm

yw, majmom

9:15 pm

amelu, sometimes a person has to look in the mirror and start out saying "I like me" first

9:15 pm

Thing is with chat, unless you start your comment with "Neil...." it can be construed as a comment directed to anyone. Not that it was meant that way at all.

9:15 pm

I look in the Mirror and say who is that old guy

9:15 pm

and that means warts and all......

9:15 pm

I hope to be back tomorrow in a more positive mood.

9:15 pm

last se5?

9:15 pm

last se5?

9:15 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

9:15 pm

some mornings it hard to figure out who is in the mirror.

9:16 pm

true.. I should think of that molly.. thanks..

9:16 pm

niters, Min (((Min)))

9:16 pm

night, min

9:16 pm

Night Min.

9:16 pm

night min

9:16 pm

night min. sleep well.

9:16 pm

se5 the guy who made eddie murphy a coffee in beverly hills cop

9:16 pm

toro

9:16 pm

I've noticed that even with cluing. If you don't start your clue with "ra6/27" it can blow right by someone.

9:16 pm

a type of sewing machine?

9:16 pm

last se5,14 is a kind of cloth I believe

9:17 pm

you want a twist with that espresso?

9:17 pm

OOPS!! Sorry; wrong box! (slinking off to the PB now)

9:17 pm

ole! nef :)

9:17 pm

TY.

9:17 pm

lol nef

9:18 pm

slip them in fast enough, Nef, and no one will notice. lol

9:18 pm

going to take a walk.. thanks molly..i've been a little bothered by the whole thing..

9:18 pm

Nef! We are discussing positive self esteem. No slinking!

9:18 pm

bye ru, have a nice walk

9:18 pm

Shake it off Ru. Mis-communication happens.

9:19 pm

*saunters off to the pb*

9:19 pm

hi all

9:19 pm

how are those Colts doing now molly...?

9:19 pm

well, Molly; I'll sneak off to the PB then (it's restocked with Halloween candy; I hope they have some Reeses PB cups!

9:19 pm

yesterday was ...hmmmm 62 to 7?

9:19 pm

Well done LBD. Next thing you know, you will be strutting.

9:19 pm

hi jes

9:19 pm

When actually looked at myself in the mirror, truly looked at myself as others might see me (ok in an opposite viewpoint), I said "Who the F*** are you??? Where did you com from and what are you doing in my body?????"

9:20 pm

Ru, why do you keep thinking I root for the Colts. My second favorite are The Broncos and they kicked ass in critical time yesterday.

9:20 pm

TEbow was fun to watch..

9:20 pm

i'm quite impressed with Tebow

9:21 pm

LOL, amelu! I look in the mirror and wonder who switched the mirror with a fun house one!

9:21 pm

we have a little bet molly. I say the Texans will win the division and the Colts won't win a game without peyton.. he carried the whole team

9:21 pm

we are a baseball house, at least until the World Series is over (Frank grew up with the Yankees!)

9:21 pm

he is so evasive that tebow

9:21 pm

I spit in the general direction of The Colts as they represent the team Marchibroda snuck out of Baltimore.

9:21 pm

agreed Molly

9:21 pm

oh.. never mind then.. I'll drop it forever

9:21 pm

and nef, I blew right past turning into my mother - I have turned into my grandmother! At least that's who I see looking back at me in the mirror...

9:22 pm

well good night Babblers.

9:22 pm

That's when I realized that I needed to know myself to make my own existance a better thing (for me) in the long run... months later I was able to accept that person in the mirror as an "OK" person and get on with my life instead of continually trying to make/help someone else learn how to live in their own skin...

9:22 pm

I'm not a colts fan either.. but I really like Peyton Manning

9:22 pm

night wht

9:22 pm

niters, wht! Sleep well!

9:22 pm

night, wht

9:23 pm

okay.. bye for now..*poof*

9:23 pm

bye, ruru!

9:23 pm

*at Molly* LOL! (gratuitous reference to Monty Python)

9:24 pm

niters ruru

9:24 pm

Amelu, "continually trying to make/help someone else learn how to live in their own skin" is such a draining endeavor.

9:25 pm

Yes, it is.

9:25 pm

I finally figured out that it's difficult enough to figure out what I'm supposed to be/do... don't need to "fix" someone else...

9:27 pm

and I'm not doing very well in that arena lately, either... *sigh* trying to make things happen instead of allowing them to happen when they should... *shrug*

9:27 pm

Before "co-dependent" became a psycho babble buzz word, my sister referred to "fixers" as having "wounded bird syndrome".

9:27 pm

Yepper! I relate to that term whole-heartedly! Thanks!

9:28 pm

How many today

9:28 pm

God help me, trying to not be that way, but...

9:28 pm

hasp

9:28 pm

It's amazing what will happen when your mantra is "I'm ready for the best possible thing to happen to me" and then you step out of your own way and let it happen.

9:28 pm

sorry

9:28 pm

ah well....I have gotten more than half way (although barely) and am going to bed. See you all tomorrow!

9:29 pm

311

9:29 pm

night UU

9:29 pm

night sue

9:29 pm

you ever wonder if you have something tattooed on your forehead (that you can't see) that causes people to approach you with their 'problems'??

9:30 pm

257/54 at the momet... hopefully will finish tonight...

9:30 pm

sometimes people are just drawn to you. My hubz and i swear, crazies like us.

9:30 pm

Yes. But there is nothing tattooed on your forehead. It's what you are emanating. The needy gravitate towards those they perceive as fixers.

9:31 pm

hi peeps! *putting on foil hat*

9:31 pm

so, either we're both a bit nuts or...we appear safe

9:31 pm

people I used to work with told me I always attracted weirdos lol

9:31 pm

hiya Welki!

9:31 pm

hey welki

9:32 pm

they just don't get that empathy cannot "FIX" the issues that they think they don't have...

9:32 pm

no fixer here. In my 30 years as a professional counselor, I pretty much told people if they want a bandaid, the first aid box is over there.

9:32 pm

sort of like, 'have an issue? here's a tissue."

9:34 pm

<-- watching the world series, really good baseball being played

9:34 pm

if they really wanted to work on that issue, then we'd talk, but if i saw they were just playing a game, i'd refer them to someone else.

9:34 pm

score?

9:34 pm

tied, 2/2

9:34 pm

I have a very hard time of trying not to take care of those that are close to me. I've been a nurse to long...

9:35 pm

it has to be better than this football game welki

9:35 pm

Sometimes it's a matter of how you express support. If it's "oh you poor thing, I feel so bad for you", then you can attract the needy. If it's "I have every confidence that you are going to get through this, I wish you well" you are not perceived as a person to come and whine to.

9:35 pm

cool

9:35 pm

top of the 7th, bases loaded, 2 outs

9:35 pm

fly into center .. inning over. cardinals stranded their guys

9:36 pm

Nef, there is nothing wrong with taking care of others, as long as you balance that with taking care of yourself.

9:36 pm

i think it would be really hard to be a nurse and not care about others.

9:37 pm

yeah, Molly; I'm starting to "get" that. It's just that I'd never slowed down to do it before, so it's not easy to learn yet

9:37 pm

(i still get tingles when i hear 'god bless america' sung (well) at a baseball game)

9:38 pm

Baby steps Nef. You are headed in the right direction.

9:38 pm

With Aunty, I was like helping and being a boot camp sargeant at times. There has to be something in between

9:38 pm

i get all teary anytime i hear it sung...except when someone butchers it, then the tears are for other reasons

9:38 pm

nef, you've never not taken care of others ... going to be a tough learning curve, letting go

9:39 pm

tough love, Nef. It's hard to do on yourself.

9:39 pm

dawg, it's not often that i hear it up here .. i sure miss american patriotism, it's just not the same north of the border

9:39 pm

oh Canada...

9:40 pm

I absolutely love the Star Spangled Banner; but God Bless America always brings me to tears!

9:41 pm

i don't know if i have a favorite anthem, they all can do a number on me, given the right circumstances. children singing them, for one

9:41 pm

God Bless America, sung on the steps of The Capitol, the night of September 11th, made me a teary mess. I will never forget that.

9:42 pm

And I Love hearing Oh Canada at baseball games! Every time the Twins played the Toronto Blue Jays were here, the Canadians out-sang the Americans

9:42 pm

would you believe, molly, that as it was happening, a co-worker said, 'those americans, they got what they deserved." i never spoke to her again until right before she passed away.

9:43 pm

Welki, I am not a person who indulges in physical violence, but I'm pretty sure I would have smacked someone who said that, that night.

9:43 pm

omg, welki she said that about 9/11?

9:44 pm

yes she did. i couldn't believe it .. i work in a government building, with a diverse workforce. the room went silent.

9:44 pm

I had to work that night here in MN and it ended uyp being the worst shift in my 42 years (so far) as an RN due to the national transportation system being shut down

9:45 pm

i just felt helpless. my kids were back east, there was nothing i could do to help anyone. i remember one of my daughters calling, saying there were fighter planes flying over rutgers

9:45 pm

well, i know not everyone likes the US, and that's okay, but to say such a hurtful hateful thing about such a traumatic event...

9:46 pm

I can't talk about it (pt. confidentiality and HIPAA laws) but I have PTSD from it

9:46 pm

it was a horrible thing to say ... particularly considering that there were hundreds of canadians in the towers. she was an ignoramus.

9:46 pm

(((nef)))

9:47 pm

(((NEF)))

9:47 pm

anyone who made a statement like that must have been a nut job

9:47 pm

I have a hard enough time with the US continually being put down right here in our chat. But I can blow that off. To hear it that night, would have been beyond insulting. And Nef...I'm sorry about the traumatic stress problem.

9:48 pm

ignorance is not a defence for saying something like that out loud.

9:49 pm

and now we need to change the subject.

9:49 pm

let's put down Grenada or something...

9:49 pm

i was hoping that 'ignoramus' would come through stronger than 'ignorant' ... but you're right, no defence to the remark existed. BUT ... a co-worker heard it, a middle eastern woman. and she came over to me, gave me a hug and just said, 'i am so sorry.' (and she is not a huggy person .. and neither am i)

9:51 pm

ok .. changing the subject. SAFE! infield hit, safe on first base! (sorry, kje, rooting for st. louis)

9:52 pm

♪ Buy me some peanuts, and cracker jack ♪

9:54 pm

well, i sure know how to work a room :(

9:54 pm

no prob... I am not a pro sport fan at all... but I AM in St Louis right now

9:55 pm

they'll be back in st louis on wednesday for game 6

9:56 pm

Hello...

9:56 pm

you're at a conference? or just a wild hair that brought you there?

9:56 pm

hey jellen

9:57 pm

hi jellen, night jellen. i'm off to my pillows. (((Everyone))). see you all tomorrow

9:57 pm

Hi Jellen. How are you tonight?

9:57 pm

yeah, going to call it a night, too .. sweet dreams, kids

9:58 pm

I am tired, Molly...one drive round-trip drive to KC again today. How are you?

9:58 pm

Sweet dreams Welki and LBD.

9:58 pm

Bye, lbd and welki

9:58 pm

hi Jellen. How far is that drive?

9:58 pm

I'm good Jellen. Why the long round-trip drive?

9:59 pm

Picked up a friend at the airport there.

10:00 pm

Is that the closest airport to you?

10:00 pm

niters lbd and welki (sorry, I had to turn off the teapot)

10:01 pm

No, but she evidently saved a bunch on the tickets. She and her kids went to DisneyWorld.

10:03 pm

brb...

10:03 pm

Why didn't she just rent a car so you wouldn't have to go get her?

10:06 pm

KC is at least 100+ miles from anywhere in OK, isn't it?

10:06 pm

Good point Nef. Saving money on tickets = extra money to rent the car.

10:14 pm

Good question...

10:14 pm

how far is that, Jellen?

10:15 pm

3.5 hours or so

10:19 pm

DH and I found that if we were to fly to Missoula MT to see family; it costs a whole lot more (almost half in some cases!) than if we flew another 200-250 miles to Spokane, WA

10:21 pm

so for us, going farther would be so much cheaper and we could rent a car without a problem

10:23 pm

She had plans to stay with a friend and leave her car there, but plans fell through at the last minute...

10:28 pm

and you didn't mind the drive? If you like driving, thats ok

10:48 pm

but if you flew to spokane we could meet for dinner :)

10:49 pm

nbt

10:51 pm

er7?

10:55 pm

hey, jes; if we decide to do this; we may meet sometime in the next year! :-)

10:56 pm

Sorry, I got pulled away...No, I didn't mind the drive (don't love it either)...

10:56 pm

er7= e +congressmans title + crime in the eyes of religion

10:57 pm

thx nef

10:57 pm

brb...

10:58 pm

jes, I had checked before posting that: if we flew tomorrow it would cost $888 each to Missoula, but $468 to fly to Spokane (from Mpls, MN

11:04 pm

Wow, Nef!

11:07 pm

I know! I thought that was crazy

11:27 pm

Back again...working on an assignment due in oh, 4 minutes...I hate group projects!

11:29 pm

I'm just peaking at the chat every so often and trying to finish the grid. I have 52 left; what are the odds? :-)
