:D

12:36 am

ty diz - 7's done

12:38 am

I was busy doing the Nov and Dec calendars for the local Seniors society, if you must know. They're overdue because it's like pulling teeth to get info about the various programs.

12:38 am

And I'm still waiting...

12:39 am

ah jilli, so frustrating

12:39 am

hi flosey -- it is!

12:41 am

12:42 am

12:43 am

I see Mr Romney is here

12:46 am

ri 6 jilli

12:46 am

whats that rose

12:46 am

lol thanks ru

12:46 am

what does flosey know?

12:46 am

i have won the battle with work. i am allowed to return to work with a gradual increase in my hours.

12:46 am

hi granny -- what's that?

12:47 am

good.

12:47 am

wonderful!

12:47 am

that's so cruel of them to try to push you too fast

12:47 am

my surgeon ( medical director of my hospital) spoke to the DON, and she has back-pedalled so fast.

12:48 am

oh great, granny -- that's only right

12:48 am

you'd think a hospital person would know better than to push too soon

12:48 am

so i have decided to stay off work til the last week of november, return on 3 x 6 hour shifts, and go from there.

12:49 am

yay granny!

12:49 am

sounds sensible

12:49 am

and you've paved the way for anyone else in this situation

12:49 am

there was a lot of blather about her 'duty of care' to me. yeah right!!

12:49 am

FWs

12:49 am

<prepares for cranky granny in november

12:49 am

WTG DIZ!!!!

12:49 am

wtg diz!

12:50 am

I am so glad about it grannyrose. One of my colleagues had a fall accident when nursing (which she then gave up cos they didnt offer gradual return) and later had a related accident in our work which led to a local court case to get compensation (she won!).

12:50 am

well done diz

12:50 am

so i have, flosey, so i have. it was really funny. my surgeon said to me that they were all frightened of me up 'there'. *giggle*

12:50 am

awwwwwwww granny did you need bitch lessons and i missed it?.... would have been glad to pitch in

12:51 am

oh... . jeez

12:51 am

what's the ri7 after that 6?

12:52 am

beats me

12:52 am

:-(

12:52 am

scouser, it is so unfair. anyone in power thinks nurses are a push-over, so to speak. we are only just learning how to stand firm for what we believe is right.

12:53 am

I'm looking for that one too, jilli

12:53 am

ri /7... a type of cheese used in lasagna

12:53 am

Glad you won your battle with work Grannyrose!

1:08 am

wtg jill

1:17 am

ty cos

1:18 am

jilli, did i miss it in chog? did you say what the pathology of your bits waas? or wasn't it necessary?

1:18 am

phantom remote

1:19 am

it was a bcc, granny -- haven't got the results yet about whether there's any left. It wasn't a Mohs procedure.

1:20 am

granny, did you read my profile?

1:20 am

hmmm, not so bad then.

1:20 am

phantom: fathom

1:20 am

oops, not yet. checking now

1:21 am

oh, dear, i bet you had fun while that was still there.

1:22 am

hi mixi

1:22 am

hi granny

1:22 am

It comes off on Oct 19 and today is only Oct 17 here.

1:24 am

oh, drat, jilli. it would drive me bonkers. i would keep wanting to brush it away.

1:24 am

hi mixi

1:24 am

do you have to go back to Vic to have it removed jilli? or will they do it here

1:24 am

I have to go back to Duncan, flosey -- that's where it was done.

1:25 am

oh, sorry, always assume Vic

1:25 am

40 left. bedtime. poof.

1:25 am

granny, you're so right. It really gets in the way of my viewing things

1:26 am

wd mixi, and gnight!

1:27 am

night mixi, sleep well, hun

1:29 am

just another 2 days, sweet jilli. hang in there, hun. you are doing so well so far.

1:33 am

does anyone have a clue for ti7, monkeys are getting tired

1:33 am

I just hope the graft takes ok, granny, and doesn't look too hideous as it heals. I'm told it will be a year before it's invisible (if ever)

1:34 am

flosey, rude word for breast + plural small rodents

1:34 am

ty for that ti7, granny!

1:35 am

thanks granny

1:35 am

didn't occur to me to pl the second half of that

Hi people.

1:36 am

hi neil -- wassup?

1:37 am

hi neil

Hi jilli... not much.

1:37 am

{{Neil}}

((Rose))

1:40 am

jilli, it will probably look pretty yucky for a while. then as the redness subsides, it will probably look a little like patchwork.

1:41 am

that's what I'm expecting, granny. Yuk.

Oh wow jilli [reading back]. Sure hope it heals well and doesn't look too bad. maybe once it's healed enough you'll be able to cover it?

Some foundation, concealer, powder?

1:41 am

I hope so, neil.

1:42 am

I've never worn makeup like that -- too lazy.

1:43 am

But as they say, "neds must".

1:43 am

*needs must

1:44 am

you won't be allowed to wear any concealer until it is completely healed, jilli.

Yeah. I said once it's healed enough.

1:44 am

I realise that, granny

1:46 am

the graft will be very delicate for a while, then as the nerves grow back, it will become very sensitive. but then again, sometimes the nerves don't grow back. and that is not a bad thing ei6.

1:47 am

soounds like fun :-(

1:47 am

may i ask where the donor skin was taken from? or would you rather not say?

1:47 am

from the neck -- under the bandage in the picture

1:49 am

oh, i see. do you have vitamin E cream ready? it is the best thing for graft sites.

1:49 am

I do have some -- the surgeon doesn't think it does much good, but we'll see.

Probably can't hurt to try it.

Once it's all healed enough.

1:51 am

the ot5 product you could try is vitamin E oil. it would be easier to apply in the early days.

1:52 am

Indeed, granny.

1:52 am

I have the oil too.

1:55 am

oh, good, jilli. so you are all prepared. i will be watching this space and face with interest.

1:55 am

I may post pix as things progress, if that's not going to be too much of a turn-off

1:56 am

I'll be seeing you, of course jilli, but it would probably be interesting to others

1:57 am

as long as it's not too gross, flosey

1:58 am

well jilli, you wont go into hiding, surely

1:59 am

I'm thinking of getting a burka

1:59 am

lol

1:59 am

it would be a first for SSI??

Haha.

What is the Muslim population there?

2:00 am

what a great little machine this iPhone is -- I set its alarm to tell me to take an antibiotic and it just played a little marimba music to do so.

2:00 am

how nice

2:01 am

I have no idea, neil, but small, I think.

2:01 am

that would be much nicer to waken to as well, rather than the usual alarm

Yep jilli. My brother uses the iPhone. I have a Motorolla DroidX... for now.

2:02 am

oh, gosh, Neil. you sound just like my don and son. they change th5 phones almost as frequently as th5 jocks.

2:02 am

I had to get an iPhone because my whole fam damily has them and we need to be as compatible as possible

2:03 am

well, as for wakening, I have a clock radio which is set to CBC

Yikes Rose. Either their phone get changed way too often, or... shudder! :P

"phones", even

2:07 am

hottie is not found in the dictionary???

2:08 am

too new for this antique

Uhhh, no. :P

2:09 am

how old is enable, does anyone know?

2:10 am

about 1001, I would guess

2:10 am

with the thees and the thous

2:13 am

and lots of obsolete words too

2:14 am

really

2:15 am

If you look up the meaning of some of the weird ones

2:15 am

well, I've been looking for the last 8 words for much too long, must get to bed, carpet bowling at 10: am

2:16 am

Well, 32 left and I'm stuck. If I have time tomorrow I'll see what morewords can find. Goodnight all...*poof

2:16 am

goodnight jilli, sweet sleep

2:16 am

well done, flosey, and gnight

2:17 am

granny, if you're still there, thanks for all the advice and support -- much appreciated

2:22 am

np's jilli. sorry, sweetie, was distracted. night, hun. hope you are able to sleep well.

Take care jilli... sleep well.

2:24 am

and night, flosey, hope you also sleep well.

5:34 am

Hello

5:34 am

hey Nanette :) Hi lyn :) xxx Hello BabbleRabble, good to see you.

5:37 am

hope I didn't kill the chat?

nah it's been rather qu5 since I've been here

5:38 am

tough grid - needs full concentration - well for me anyway

5:38 am

ok :) How are the three of you today?

5:39 am

No acute distress

doing fine here so far but it is a bit chilly

5:39 am

sounds like a challenge, lyn, nice.

5:40 am

(no fashion statement intended)

5:40 am

good to hear, BabbleRabble. Most days that is the best we can have, though I'd wish you a lot better.

5:40 am

pretty good - had eye test so sight just getting back to normal. All OK. Perfact day weather wise - think I even managed to get a bit sunburnt

5:40 am

How are you Sprite - and your terrible teen

5:41 am

glad you're doing fine, Nanette. Chilly, yes here as well... it takes getting used to again, doesn't it... too many clothes, doors closed, maybe even the heating on... not pleasant.

yes Sprite. I'm not looking forward to the next few months, weather wise

5:42 am

sounds good, lyn! Must be nice to see normally again. Weather sounds lovely. Funny always to think how you slide into summer while we are being dragged into winter.

5:43 am

46°F and raining. But: Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

5:43 am

amen to that, BabbleRabble. You know how I feel about your courage and how you never give up. Yay for that soul!

5:46 am

We all face our challenges and muster on.

5:46 am

i am indeed the captain of my soul br.good morning my friends invictus i believe

5:46 am

morning Cross

5:47 am

howdy lynxx

5:47 am

lyn: my terrible teen and I are doing ok. My love had a long talk with him, which didn't seem to work much but did a lot beneath the surface. Yesterday I had a long talk with Tim too, listened very well but also had my say. He told me he cannot stand being called to tasks or being reminded of them in an irritated way. He asks that we try and always ask nicely, even if he has forgotten for the 1000th time. We agreed to try that, but asked him in return to take his tasks more seriously, to take responsibility for them AND for forgetting them.

5:47 am

hiya crossy! *hug*

5:47 am

((sprite))

morning Crossy

5:48 am

well,you know what they say sprite"when a guy promises to do something,he will.you do not have to keep bugging him every 6 months about it" :))

5:48 am

howdy nono

5:48 am

true, BabbleRabble... we do. But still. Ah well, my challenge today seems small... I need to walk Terra and do the shopping. I just cannot get myself to leave the house.

5:48 am

the dialogue/s start Sprite - well done, hope they continue but don't have to happen too often

5:48 am

LOL crossy!

5:48 am

if we dont face our challenges, we curl up , under the covers and weep. it doesnt work. i tried it

5:49 am

hi ivesy, I totally agree. Tried too. Sure way to slowly dieing.

5:50 am

hi Ivesy

5:50 am

thanks lyn! Yes I hope so too. Managed to make him see that his keeping forgetting our agreements makes us irritated, hence the irritated way of reminding him. Lol, seems so obvious to me, but to him it was almost a revelation.

5:51 am

yes. felt like dying at times. but guess there are other plans for me. like my car giving me problems. lol and good morning all

5:51 am

a very good morning, ivesy, and I am glad you uncurled, got out from under the covers and decided to take on life once again... including car problems ;)

5:52 am

those cars - they do it on purpose you know

5:52 am

As M. Scott Peck, M.D., started The Road Less Traveled, "Life is difficult."

on purpose and always when you need them to behave

5:52 am

too true.

5:53 am

Resistentialism again

5:54 am

well of course . cars know when u are at the end of your rope . so they act up.. lol. it can sit in driveway. that will show it lol

5:54 am

am gonna try to finish the grid and then meditate, and then go shopping, and after that a walk with Terra.

5:54 am

qu*** the raven "nevermore"

5:54 am

first word of the day :)

5:54 am

I wish I was resistant to all isms

5:55 am

oh lovely, crossy :) Beautiful poem story

5:55 am

optimism

5:55 am

so cars are actually like children?

be sure to fix an egg and bacon qu6 this morning Crossy

5:55 am

hm... you got me there. Ok, not all isms.

5:55 am

well,more like women:)) crossy ducks

5:55 am

indeed nono,it is food day!!

5:56 am

silly crossy. We are women. You can never duck deep enough to avoid our displeasure.

5:57 am

because as men,many of us dearly love cars.the classic elegance of the collectable cars.the curves of a fender or fin every bit as exciting as the curves of a woman,but again nothing else can bring us quite to the brink of insanity as car problems:)

5:58 am

my mrs say good morning and that my training continues..

5:58 am

Men are the antagonists in most instances

5:59 am

hehehe :) Well I will confess cars don't inspire me in that way. Nor do women, at that. Cars are born to take me where I wanna go and back, without problems. But the outline of a nice man's butt... now that is more like it :)

5:59 am

glad someone is keeping you on the straight and narrow

5:59 am

lol sprite

right on Sprite!

5:59 am

*waves a very very good morning to Mrs Elegance and admires her very much for training crossy into such a wonderful man*

5:59 am

not to worry lynxx,she keeps me on a short leash

6:00 am

with choker collar?

6:00 am

ooo kinky

6:01 am

spank me baby...

6:01 am

ok,there must be a second word in this grid

6:01 am

*does the worst thing a dominant can do and tells crossy: NO*

6:01 am

A bad man's nice butt is less ogle-esque?

6:02 am

spank me... sounds like fifty shades of grey!

mmm depends on what type of bad :)

6:02 am

I think I should have written: A man's nice butt. Bad man can be very nice eye candy as well.

6:02 am

lol ivesy... that went a little further than spanking :)

6:03 am

I shall henceforth not butt in

6:03 am

oh please do, BabbleRabble. I'd never object to a nice man's nice butt.

6:03 am

lol.. for sure ... did anyone ever read claiming sleeping beauty?makes fifty shades look mild

6:04 am

no, doesn't sound familiar, ivesy. A good read?

6:05 am

lol..crossy watches the babble girls trade raunchy books back and forth:))

6:06 am

if you like plain out porn. . it was actually very very explicit.. was written by anne rice under another name

6:06 am

it seems to be a well-known fact that we girls like the raunchy reads, while most men prefer the raunchy pictures, crossy :P

6:06 am

my elegant says i should be good when i play babble,but i say "they were this what when i got here honest!"

6:07 am

way

6:07 am

nope, I don't like porn. I like great sex in a great story. I didn't even like 50 shades that much, to be honest... not enough story.

6:07 am

Elegance, we are always this way ;)

6:08 am

i didnt like it sprite.. fifty shades or claiming beauty. no story , just porn.now the outlanders that a great series

6:08 am

is that the series by Gabaldon?

6:09 am

my beloved says she misses you all,it is just hard to play now with the magnifier and large fonts.she says it is like wearing strong readers and holding your head still and moving the book back and forth to catch the words:(

6:09 am

yes. going to get book two. think there are about seven in the series, plus a few stand alone

6:10 am

ouch, crossy :( I miss her too, but I totally understand that makes playing both very hard and not that much fun.

6:11 am

I love that series, ivesy. That is exactly the kind of books I like to read. Beautiful characters, intriguing story, and sex scenes that play a part in that story. Lovely.

6:11 am

wow Congrats Nono!

6:11 am

wtg Nanette!

6:11 am

One of my therapists had me read servant of the bones and write a review ..... very difficult for me.

6:12 am

last call for those who wish it.i have a very rare copy of Koontz "the book of counted sorrows" that i will share in pdf or epub format if you mail me. if you are a koontz fan,this may be the only way you will get to read it

6:12 am

Congrats, Nono

6:12 am

what kind of book is that, BabbleRabble?

shall have to look into The Outlander books they sound like my kind of read

6:12 am

there were some 1200 hardcover signed versions but they now start at 600 dollars

6:12 am

anne rice

6:13 am

what made reading and reviewing so difficult? And did you benefit from the exercise in any way?

Crossy, does epub format equate to kindle?

6:14 am

they are amazing, Nanette.

6:14 am

no,i would send it to you in pdf nono,so make sure you tell me your reader type and put babble in the email line so i can find it amongst the spam

6:15 am

servant of the bones

ok will do

6:15 am

Throughout the novel, Azriel is struggling to understand whether he is a ghost, a demon, or an angel. He is trying to understand why his god has denied him the Stairway to Heaven by allowing him to be made into an immortal spirit who is bound to the gold-encased bones of his mortal body. As a genie, he must obey the Master of those bones (whoever has them at the moment) and become the Master's Servant, whether for good or evil. Thus the title, Servant of the Bones.

6:16 am

yes, I had looked it up already. That is why I asked.

6:16 am

that sounds like a computer game

6:17 am

He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god. ~Aristotle

6:17 am

could easily be made into one, indeed, lyn. Could be a really soul-searching book though.

6:17 am

hello again all, Babble seems to be ok now

6:17 am

howdy smores

6:18 am

*kicks Aristotle into his fossiled shins*

6:18 am

hiya smores, glad it works for you

6:18 am

hi smores

6:18 am

Hi crossy :)

6:18 am

I have lived outside society forever ... the Servant reminded me of that

6:19 am

The therapist knew

6:19 am

morning lynxx, sprite

6:19 am

glad you mingle with us though

6:19 am

I guessed that might be the case :( Tough going. Did it bring you anything? Some insight?

6:19 am

had a server problem earlier

6:19 am

Hi BR :)

6:20 am

and that leads into crossy,s poem of the day!!

6:20 am

I walk the stinking city streets Alone, while the passing throng stares, Because my clothes don't conform. Let them stare. I'm me, not them. Although I wear my hair long, And natural and sometimes have holes in my jeans I'm an oddity. Do I care? I'm glad I'm me, not them. So the suede of my jacket is worn, For warmth I could do better. It suits my moods. It's comfortable, And then again, It's me. They can stare if they want. Who are they to judge? At least I'm free. I don't bother to protest in Their silly pettish battles. My world doesn't deal in hate. I get along with me just fine. I decorate my rooms with blankets. Their colors keep me company, And in the winter they keep me warm. B. V. Dahlen

6:20 am

servers are like cars are like computers. They just must do what we want them to do when we want them to, and no tantrums please.

6:20 am

Once again the shame of disconnection and inadequacy

6:21 am

I whine some .... have you noticed? hahahha

6:21 am

nice crossy

6:22 am

seems to me a very negative effect, BabbleRabble, and not a help :( Well, for what it is worth... you are neither God nor beast to me... you are BabbleRabble, a friend I would miss very much if I wouldn't be able to connect with you here.

6:22 am

not really - just a lot of food for thought as usual BR

6:22 am

good one, crossy :)

6:22 am

nope, didn't notice any whining.

6:24 am

connected and more than adequet - and not too winy at all

6:25 am

teehee, didn't mean to type winy - but was maybe appropriate :)

6:25 am

hehehe, open that bottle and bring in the booze?

6:25 am

well I can't find my 80th word so I am off to bed - Bye everyone

6:26 am

Be well, Lyn

6:26 am

sleep well, lyn :) xxx

6:26 am

nite lynxx :)

6:27 am

for myself, I know I need to stay away from alcohol. Since it usually deepens the mood one is in, it is not a smart thing to use when down or depressed.

6:27 am

yaa crossy found his first 7:)) always celebrate the small victories in life,because often,thos will be the only ones that happen on a regular basis"

6:28 am

yea, I quit drinking about 14 years ago

6:28 am

when down, I hide in bed with a sign on the covers: This is not me.

6:28 am

amen to that, crossy.

6:28 am

{{{BabbleRabble}}} I would like that text on a T-shirt.

6:29 am

yes, sometimes we forget to appreciate the little things

6:29 am

like drugs sprite.someone once offered me cocaine and i said 'well what does it do?" he said "it intensifies your personality" i thought for a second and replied "but what if youre an asshole?"

6:29 am

glad you are out from the covers BR :)

6:29 am

LOL - love it crossy :))

6:29 am

hehe crossy stole that line

6:30 am

lollllll crossy... exactly! And he was one, for even implying your personality needed any intensifying.

6:31 am

well,since i am the captain of my soul,climb aboard my ship every one! tis the good ship Venus and we sail for destinations unknown!

6:31 am

The janitor's union called for sweeping reforms.

6:31 am

(bring bacon)

6:31 am

I am with you, crossy... if I can get a very private cabin.

6:32 am

LOL BabbleRabble. Nice one.

6:32 am

love it

6:33 am

must go get coffee - be back

6:34 am

damn enable... http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/titch

6:35 am

yayyy we found another opportunity to nag about enable :)

6:36 am

actually i am fond of enable now.it is much like a puppy with 3 legs.it is still cute,it is still a puppy and you love it despite its flaws

6:37 am

absolutely, crossy. I am very fond of all the obsolete words etc that are no longer in the newer versions of enable. I hope we will keep this version forever.

6:37 am

funny with all the kinky talk... that hitme is in the grid

6:37 am

lol

6:38 am

babble is like a box of chocolates..

6:38 am

in what way?

6:39 am

you never know what you are going to get

6:39 am

ah! Indeed, grin.

6:40 am

and that paper guide that comes with some of them? i throw that out right away cause i love a good mystery

6:40 am

hahahaha! Oh you are so lovely!

6:41 am

good think i am not in hogwarts,i would be the one getting the ear wax one all the time

6:42 am

me too. Which would put me off them beans for evah.

6:42 am

why,ty sprite:)) best compliment i have had all day;))

6:42 am

must remember to get vinegar - coffee maker running way to slow

6:42 am

nah, your sweet lady being with you is the best one

6:43 am

*writes VINEGAR on smores' shopping list*

6:43 am

mrs says i have slipped off my tiny tin self..but she seems to want to keep me

6:43 am

shelf

6:43 am

I always enjoy hearing how good the two of you are together

6:43 am

will vinegar work 100% same as the special descaling mix?

6:44 am

and you run it through raw or mixed?

6:44 am

I believe so - I only used the descaling once

6:45 am

of course. Vinegar worked perfectly for ages before the special mixes were developed. Just run it through, repeat if necessary, and make sure to run through clean water a couple of times before making coffee.

6:45 am

I use about 50/50 then run a pot of plain water

6:45 am

cause the light for that on my tassimo came on

lots of phantoms for me today

6:47 am

lol sprite i have been a tea person for ages and a tea pot always pours with no problem,but technology is catching up with me

6:47 am

not undiluted, crossy. Half/half should do fine.

7:02 am

I believe tain car but not sure

7:02 am

neither. It is ikh at the eind... if it is an Arab tribe

7:02 am

sonsie means having an ample bosom. Other word for breast + plural rodents.

7:03 am

American Indian tribe.

7:07 am

I do what I can....LOL! "Can"!!!!

7:08 am

well I guess this means I have to dig up a lot of courage and get myself out of da house. Shopping. Walking Terra. I have done it before. Theoretically I should be able to do it again.

7:09 am

Be strong, Sprite! I am sending you courage!

7:09 am

7:10 am

Feel the strength of the babble community, sprite

morning TO

8:06 am

morning all

morning smore morning hurshy

8:08 am

i was reading advice online about how to increase a cat's appetite. they suggested a little catnip. marty licked up the catnip but it didn't make him eat more food! lol

why is he eating poorly?

8:09 am

the vet said to switch him to wet food. with dry he would graze all day. with wet he just has set meals, and i think he doesn't eat as much that way.

8:10 am

however, i'm to give it a couple of weeks because he may get used to the new system and eat more. i think he has been possibly eating SLIGHTLY more each day so this is plausible at least.

hope it works.

8:13 am

well he also may just not need as much food as some cats, have a low metabolism. he's just never been very into food. and the vet did say it was not his thyroid and in fact that his levels of that were on the low side of the normal range.

8:13 am

but yes, thank you for the good wishes. :)

so he is a skinny kitty.

8:15 am

yes, he has been 9.5 lbs (on a largish frame) most of his adult life. the reason i called the vet was because i discovered he'd lost a pound.

how old is he?

8:15 am

12

8:15 am

hurshy, is Marty drinking more water than usual?

8:16 am

and he had no other symptoms, no change in energy level, no change in any behavior. not drinking more water. he's always LOVED water and drinks lots.

8:18 am

One of my cats (when I had cats) lost weight and started drinking much more water than he usually did and it was a kidney problem. I am happy to read that Marty has energy and not losing lots of weight.

time to go, happy babbling.

8:19 am

yeah she tested his blood and found slight elevation in some kidney things. then she tested his urine to see what that showed and she said not much kidney damage. so that is why just the switch to wet food. i'm also to try giving him chicken broth. and pepsid.

8:20 am

bye TO

8:21 am

You have a good vet. Try to wean Marty off dry food. Chicken broth cures everything.

8:21 am

yes, i'm not giving him any dry food now, just the wet.

8:22 am

Marty will get used to wet food. Give him a rub for me under his ch4.

8:22 am

:) will do - when i get home that is

8:22 am

:)

8:23 am

Hi again, had to gave a bagel and more coffee

8:24 am

Hi hurshy,annie

8:24 am

hi

8:24 am

Hi smores

8:25 am

Hi Annie, hurshy, smores

8:25 am

morning bichon :)

8:25 am

morning, bichon, are you having a sunny day?

8:26 am

Yes! More leaf raking. We've had so much rain that it's difficult to rake

8:26 am

What about you Annie. Does the sun shine in Brooklyn?

8:27 am

hi again all!

8:27 am

hi sue, how goes it with Frank?

8:27 am

hi uu :)

8:27 am

yes, the sun is shining, hopefully all day.

8:28 am

hi sue

8:28 am

hi bichon and smores! Frank is ok; he does better on a more liquid diet, which he hates

8:29 am

I can understand that sue

8:29 am

i feel fishy, oh so fishy, i feel fishy and squishy and dumb...

8:30 am

lol...just found an oh so obvious one I take it

8:30 am

several. with list.

8:31 am

got to nbs, nbt, and more than half way on my own earlier this morning

8:32 am

thought it was cute that both parents are in the grid :-)

8:32 am

yeah i got to 85% without list but then go figure, most of the words i miss are still normal words!

8:32 am

that was me yesterday, remembered to plural and used the "re", but hadn't used the "ed" at all..lol

8:32 am

very good uu

8:34 am

like both fa6,fi6 ...lol

8:36 am

can I get a clue for he 6/21 ?

8:36 am

glad to hear Frank is doing better.

8:37 am

he started taking the really expensive medicine yesterday, we'll see if it helps

8:37 am

I'd like that clue too Annie

8:37 am

if you know the vet who wrote books about cats and stuff, james he_____, it's like that

8:37 am

ty hurshy

8:37 am

at least it should have fewer side effects than the prednisone

8:37 am

or, ride in a roman ch_____ race, drop C and change vowel.

8:37 am

thanks, hurshy, got it

8:38 am

thanks hurshy!

8:38 am

I took my fluffs to the Vet this week for their exams and shots. One of them was so stressed out that he lifted his leg on the display of cat food!

8:38 am

pretty funny, bichon :-)

8:38 am

thx hurshy

8:39 am

And, right of the exit this huge man was sitting with his huge Pit Bull. I had to ask for a back door out of the building

8:39 am

teehee..bichon, does he not like cats

8:40 am

He doesn't like anyone but people

8:41 am

my dog and cats are best friends, it's cute when they curl up together

8:41 am

ah, Sera does not like other large dogs, we have to keep her away from them

8:42 am

mine are very nervous from being strays. Life is tough out on the streets

8:42 am

and my cats hate each other and the dog, they all want to curl up with us but not with each other. Makes for interesting shenanigans on the bed.

8:43 am

mine fight about who gets to curl up with whom. Bichons are pretty dogs, but boy they can be dominating

8:43 am

Sera grew up as a farm dog, maybe similar?

8:43 am

what kind of dog is Sera?

8:43 am

"coqui" is the name of the little singing tree frog in Puerto Rico, and should be a valid word.

10:00 am

later Lisa!

10:06 am

down to 34 and need a break. thanks for the help. *poof*

10:25 am

I'd be more inclined to think that merci would be accepted by Enable since it is a more "familiar" foreign word than coqui.

10:32 am

Finished! For some reason this was difficult for me today. Sometimes it just flows and sometimes ... well, you know how it goes.

10:51 am

they allow merde.. but not merci.. so that tells you where enable's head is at..:D

10:52 am

afternoion all, just tried itcher and titch, but enable says NON

10:53 am

Yes, but I dare not say where.

10:53 am

uh huh

10:54 am

Glant, you could do a little PB time for it4 (if it's still okay to send someone to the PB)

10:55 am

I think the PB has been abolished

10:55 am

thought it was Ok if it was hidden in another word *looking innocent*

10:55 am

but if the PB has been abolished, where am I going to eat cake?

10:55 am

: ( RIP PB.

10:55 am

what did I miss?

10:56 am

did somebody complain?

10:56 am

yes all rooms are now abolished and are no longer acceptable

10:57 am

all the cabana boys are fired and on unemployment

10:57 am

oh dear - I quite liked the PB :-) *masochists unite*

10:57 am

and the cabana boys *hangs head in shame*

10:58 am

*deep breath* Is humour still allowed?

10:58 am

yep.. they'll have to go peddle their wares somewhere else ..so to speak

10:58 am

Humor? Are you kidding? Not in the least.

10:58 am

apparently not glant.. humor is not accepted anymore either

10:59 am

Are we allowed to be subversive and use irony and sarcasm and hope they are not recognised as humour?

10:59 am

Er, who makes the rules round ehre anyways?

11:00 am

Sarcasm? I think that is an "off with your head" offense.

11:00 am

subversive humor and irony and sarcasm and cynicism are all allowed

11:01 am

I think I may ahve to become a lurer for fear of offending somebody

11:01 am

*lurker :-)

11:01 am

Oh, you can't call them lurkers anymore either.

11:01 am

although becoming a lurer has more appeal

11:02 am

I dunno, I don;t play for a few days and everything chnages....

11:03 am

You were missed Glant. I, for one, appreciate a good sense of humor. I'll take that over snippy any day.

11:04 am

Oh, I don't do snippy. Was brought up to believe that if you can't ay something nice, don't say anything at all.

11:05 am

The PB is not abolished. Just Peri doesn't like it.

11:06 am

i am sorry jilly,i did not know;(

4:41 pm

I'm so sorry Jilly, did they catch it early?

4:41 pm

Yes they did and progress has been slowed with meds, so it is very nice to be able to travel now while he's still able. Tough at 56 :(

4:42 pm

Sorry crossy, I thought you did...thanks for the empathy

4:42 pm

you may have told me jilly,but my short term emorory is akin to a goldfish:(

4:43 pm

thank God they caught it early, although it's less common at that age, treatment is more successful when your younger isn't it?

4:43 pm

LOL...mine too, did you see my FB post last ni4/4? Both of us got to the end of the day and realized that it was our anniversary!

4:44 pm

wow Jilly, just wow...lol

4:44 pm

It depends smores, but we certainly are hoping for great strides in the future. Plus his Mom only got "bad" in her 70's.

4:45 pm

you are officially added to my prayer list {Jilly and hubby}

4:45 pm

jilly has your husband ever had chemotherapy?

4:45 pm

Thank you smores....the support of many helps

4:46 pm

No crossy, no chemo...(unless you count the 70's...lol)

4:46 pm

lol,the 70,s are ahaze to me as well

4:46 pm

LOL

4:46 pm

4:48 pm

4:48 pm

4:49 pm

4:49 pm

4:49 pm

4:51 pm

lol,no tv but a 10 thousand dollar sterio system that the kids can reproduce the sound of with a i-pod nano not much bigger than my thumb;(

4:52 pm

I know...we are quite the dinasours!!

4:53 pm

there is something lost though,the "warmth" of records,the cover art,the slip covers with the lyrics,the old books smell that all the crates of records used to get

4:54 pm

i used to collect album covers from the group "yes"

4:55 pm

Our boys termed it "a religious experience" when hubby would do the ceremony...get out the album (still has them all!), set it on the turntable, start the turntable, place three drops of record cleaner on the cleaner, then rotate the bar lovinbly over the record, then gently set the arm down....LOL

4:56 pm

lol! i had a specila cleaner brush

4:57 pm

We had custom cabinets made so he could store his albums and we still keep a turntable! Makes me chuckle when a few 'youngesters' tell me they are "into vinyl".

hi all, and sorry to mention, but old books should not smell! 8-)

4:58 pm

i love the old book smell

4:58 pm

NO Gwen, not smell, it's really a pleasant perfume!!

4:58 pm

TY cross! Hs have been he6ed har har

5:19 pm

lol,you actually spray away the old book smell?

5:20 pm

I was surprised today by how many people did not get the vet author clue. I thought those books were more well known than they seem to be here.

i don't use a spray, it's an odor absorbing product, you put the book and the deodorizer in a box and leave 'em in there for a month. (works like kitty litter)

5:20 pm

i was surprised also

been a while since All Creatures Great and Small went off the air . . .

5:21 pm

That is a shame. I love "old book smell".

5:21 pm

i hated the tv series,adore the books

5:21 pm

well in my case its only because i read political, horror and fantasy :)

5:21 pm

as do i.love the old book smell

i used to know a filthy little bookstore full of smelly little books, EWWWWW

5:22 pm

it is ambrosia

5:23 pm

It's not a bad smell, or a smelly smell, it's like what Grandparents smell like. Something that has been around a while and has absorbed the world.

5:23 pm

it is the books way of saying "i have been waiting for you.for decades,fifty,one hundred years..read me"

or, it's the smell of, i've been in the basement too long and there are colonies of mildew all over me, EWWW

5:24 pm

hi, everyone

5:25 pm

no,not mold /mildew smell.not what i am talking about

welcome to stinky book chat!

5:25 pm

molly knows.the esscance a old book gets..not mold

well, that's the smell that calls me to put the little critter into the deodorizer box LOL

5:25 pm

*inhales deeply* *cough cough - but i like it, too*

5:26 pm

lol welki

5:26 pm

I have been looking for an appropriate deodorant for my pet rock.

5:26 pm

i use mr bubbles for my pet rock

does it have to be in scale, rabble?

5:27 pm

the rock rebelled when I tried brasso

5:27 pm

Gwen, do you have a box that deodorizes mildewed books? I have a Problem in my basement.

oh dear me

5:28 pm

no! never use brasso,use a mild clenser then shellac the rock for that nice forever sheen

saanich, i do indeed. it's an ordinary box, but it has book deodorizer in it. you can get some at bookdeodorizer dot com. or you can use odor-absorbing kitty litter

5:29 pm

my pet will not be disrespected with a coat of shellac

the box doesn't have to be air-tight, but some dealers use air-tight box, or an old cooler, or an old refrigerator

i just use a wooden box

shellac! heavens no!

5:30 pm

Gwen Thank you! Thank you so much! Big hug for that info!

put the stinky books in the box with the deodorizer and leave them in there for a month. give or take.

hey, no prob!

5:31 pm

mo5 the firs please

5:31 pm

lol.only in babble.stinky books and pet rocks

lastly, when handling mildewed books, i recommend gloves, and don't breathe in too close to the books, because there are some rare strains that can make you quite ill

5:31 pm

never mind

you can remove most mildew (assuming it's dry and dead) with a clean dry paper napkin. then throw out the napkin. do not re-use the napkin.

5:32 pm

what if we have a stinky pet rock? we can use this as well?

5:33 pm

i tried a chia pet,but the cat ate it

for pet rocks the appication of deodorant will not help. what you need there is an infusion of brains (joke!)

LOL

i had a client recently who called me with a ton of books to sell, they had been in a basement for decades, many were beyond help, poor things!

5:35 pm

crossy does not like disrespected books:((

5:36 pm

I segregate my pet rock from my herd of dust mi 5. Never can be too careful. Who knows where they have been.

when there's more mildew than paper, i'm sorry, out it goes

5:36 pm

i love my reader,but i have 5 full bookshelves 6 feet high with 5 shelves on each crammed with books i cherish

5:37 pm

Not the book's fault it has been disrespected.

5:37 pm

Thanks so much Gwen. I already threw out thousands of books which needed to go anyway. I saved many more in air-tight cartons for future cleaning. I have a problem in the laundry room which because of no smell went unnoticed for years, then I move some cartons of books in the room next to laundry and Bingo - the kind of unwelcome surprise.So you can see why I am so grateful!

awwww, you're causing me to experience feelings of nostalgia, crossy!

5:37 pm

hehe

5:38 pm

Boxes of books in a basement make no sense to me. Either keep them on a shelf where they can be enjoyed or give them away to others who will enjoy them.

5:38 pm

all old friends that say"come,sit down and lets travel together"

5:39 pm

there's a crew of guys re-roofing my neighbor's house - their radio is on soooo loud, i can hear it through the walls. but i don't have the heart to ask them to turn it down - it's cold and breezy here and it's dirty work

some folks love their books but don't know that the basement is a no-no, then they die and the grown-up kids call me to sort through the mess

5:39 pm

when it gets dark,they will stop for the night i am sure

actually, this client had the books all on shelves, but still, they were in the basement

5:40 pm

You are so right on that Molly. But I did have many thousands. I have whittled them to what will fit upstairs. Also I live under a mountain in the tress and by the ocean - waht can you expect?

5:40 pm

I had a part-time job one summer moving all the books in a law library while going to school.

that's what dehumidifiers are for . . .

5:41 pm

ran full-time...

5:41 pm

i have some of those boxes in the basement - i know i have to ditch them, but .... (and then there are the shelves upstairs. those books are in good condition, but unwanted by the kids and worthless (except to me) to anyone else

my mom loves to tell the story: Clawson, Michigan, got a new library building, no budget to move the books, so they asked everyonei n town to take out a few books, then bring them back to the new library, ha ha ha it worked!

5:42 pm

I understand, saanichat .... lots of critics

5:42 pm

That is a great story Gwen. : )

5:42 pm

It was too late for the basement. I stripped it down to bare walls and cement.

5:43 pm

hehe,i have no livingroom.now i have 2 sets of comfy wingback chairs with small tables tween them surrounded by books,a computer desk in one corner and one of those loveseats in another with a flat screen tv tacked to the wall.more library than livingroom,but comfy and cosy and inviting

5:43 pm

great story gwen!

5:43 pm

Thanks BR. I was in the book business for all my life.

i have so many books that almost every room in the aparment has a new name: living room=office, dining room=shipping dept, bedroom=storage. the kitchen is safe tho

5:45 pm

What? No cook books? : )

5:46 pm

i have shelves of cookbooks, too - i send the kids home with a couple every time they visit :)

i don't keep inventory in the kitchen -- and i don't collect cook books 8-)

5:46 pm

And really should know better than to store books in basements! Thanks again Gwen and Molly

5:46 pm

Nice gift, Welki.

i only cook two things anyway, LOL

5:47 pm

and what are they?

chichen & rice (that's one dish), and pasta

thinkin' about cookin' up some pasta raht now

oops, chicken, that was

5:49 pm

The ampersand looks like the thinker, saanichcat.

been using a lotta Newman's Own pasta sauce lately

5:49 pm

chicken and rice is one of my favorite comfort foods - one pot, can feed an army and delish

protein and carbs and fat, yum

5:50 pm

I like Newman's own products. I usually make my own red sauce, but if I have to resort to a jar, I will use that.

i am way too lazy to make my own sauce 8-)

5:51 pm

BR -It is meant to be. I found it on-line and liked it. I am a goof when it comes to changing icons.

5:52 pm

Hi everyone! Just FYI that I posted the details for the DE/PA/NJ/MD Babble Meet-Up on my profile, if you can make it! :-)

5:52 pm

Dinty Moore and horseradish on rutabaga slices for me tonight.

5:53 pm

Gwen - have you had any luck with ozone treatment?

saanich, well, i don't know what it is, so i can't say either way. is it for stinky books or what?

5:54 pm

A handful of fresh herbs will make red sauce taste gourmet!

all right, must make some dinner, Newman's Own awaits 8-)

5:57 pm

It's a recent treatment for books and also musical instruments. It's a bigger version of your box - conatiner large enough to hold the object (pianos to books) and filled with ozone, don't know how long it takes and that's all I know about it.

5:57 pm

Enjoy, Book Doctor Gwen

5:58 pm

dinty moore? is that corned beef?/ all we get here is herford corned beef from argentina

5:59 pm

It's beef stew in a can.

5:59 pm

ahh

6:00 pm

though i love doing my own corned beef..yum!

6:00 pm

we have dinty moore here in alberta - used to open up a can or two when i lived in the states, too - not bad for supper. crossy? i first saw corned beef (not corned beef hash) in a can when i moved here - i like that too. (aw come on, welki - the only food i don't like is lima beans *lol*)

6:02 pm

when i was a kid, it was a big deal to get corned beef hash with peas - my father would get a fried egg on top of his

6:03 pm

as a child our corned beef was always a lunch thing on thin light rye bread stacked thin and high with zesty mustard and a mound of french fries;))

6:03 pm

Corned beef hash with a fried egg on top is very New York. : )

6:04 pm

well there ya go, molly - that's where i grew up

6:05 pm

now i'm hungry. solo tonight, so maybe just some soup

6:06 pm

now i want corned beef and there is none in the house:((

6:06 pm

i have some of that hereford in the cupboard, come on over

6:07 pm

will have to drink a couple of gallons of water to offset the salt, though

6:07 pm

When I do a big corned beef brisket, I freeze some in portions so I can make hash and lapskaus, a Norwegian soup.

6:08 pm

I hear you about the water Welki. Salty food does that to me too.

6:08 pm

okay, that's it - famished. off to scrounge. g'night folks
