12:39 am

by Geroge, I've got it, I think -- we6?

12:39 am

or a piece of wood to keep the door open - then insert an extra vowel before the last letter

5:47 am

I don't think so....last I heard they were to announce results Monday

5:48 am

wild

5:48 am

Very thankful they were the deciding state like before

5:49 am

*weren't

5:49 am

indeed

5:49 am

"It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes." (Josef Stalin)

5:49 am

can you imagine the entire united states hanging on them trying to count?

5:49 am

thought I heard on NPR yesterday that they had finished and that Obama had won by an even larger margin . . .

5:49 am

lol stalin would know

5:50 am

:-D

5:50 am

cool, une

5:50 am

when stalin was in power it took a braver soldier to retreat than to go forward

5:50 am

indeed

5:51 am

I didn't watch much of anything yesterday, last I heard was Friday

5:51 am

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Four days after the election, President Barack Obama can finally claim victory in Florida. The state finished counting its votes Saturday. Obama was declared the winner, giving him a 332 to 206 final margin in the Electoral College. Florida officials said Obama had 50 percent of the vote to Romney's 49.1 percent, a margin of about 74,000 votes.

5:51 am

ahh ty br

Hello, Ruby

6:10 am

I'm still afraid to tell husband that I want to go to London for a long weekend in Dec. Need some courage, like the scraecrow in OZ

6:12 am

You so deserve to get away and have some fun Ruby

6:12 am

how about I set up a babble meetup for my house and disappear! lol

6:13 am

ty smores

6:13 am

LOL hilarious

6:13 am

Walk out the door and call him from London

6:13 am

You could just pack up and go

6:13 am

lol BR

6:14 am

the problem is arranging all the meals, for him and the pups, AND that it coincides with our wedding annicersary. (Maybe he'll forget....lol)

6:14 am

if he asked where you going, tell him, I told you a month ago

6:15 am

that's a good idea, smores

6:15 am

Happy Anniversary Honey, you get the house to yourself..lol

6:15 am

the housekeeper will come in (extra) in the evening, but I'm afraid he'll burn the house down

6:15 am

you are too funny, smores

6:17 am

things that bug crossy #34,863- having a sneezing fit while in the middle of carrying 2 cups of tea somewhere:((

6:17 am

better than after or as your are swallowing the tea!

6:17 am

A little added flavor

6:18 am

:( crossy...

6:18 am

lol BR

6:18 am

I had to pull over in rush hour traffic recently due to a sneezing fit

6:19 am

luckily I was in the right lane already

6:19 am

How well did it fit?

6:19 am

ruby,pre pack a bag for a week,keep it in the car and one day tell him you are going to the grocer and head to the airport.perhaps he will not notice till your back if your housekeeper can stall him

6:19 am

not well at all BR

6:20 am

I realy want to go. These family parties are lovely for me.

6:21 am

All kidding aside, I think it is tragic you have to tiptoe around your husband.

6:21 am

You HAVE to go Ruby...you so owe it to yourself

6:21 am

it may be tragic, but I can blame no one but myself

6:21 am

if you go to london,you should say howdy to my uncle ian.he runs(if it is still in operation there) the big kodak plant

6:21 am

agreed BR

6:22 am

I think Kodak now makes only film for movies. My son's FIL worked for Kodak his whole life, in Rochester, NY

6:24 am

BR, I don't think my situation is that unusual; it just sort of blindsided me due to lack of foresight

6:25 am

when you're 50, who thinks of a major age difference?

6:25 am

does he help with the dogs ruby

6:26 am

yes, he walks the dogs as I'm not strong enough and he does the grocery shopping

6:26 am

those are both good things

6:26 am

May not be that unusual but abuse is wrong

6:26 am

good, so that isn't something for you to worry about

6:27 am

I think the nastiness comes with his (advanced) age, whether it is Alzheimer's or just ordinary age-related dementia.

6:27 am

good afternoon, all

6:28 am

he had a nasty temperament a long time ago, I just chose to ignore it!

6:28 am

I didn't know there was an age difference Ruby

6:28 am

Okay, but he refuses to get help and the doc is his toady

6:28 am

{{sprite}}

6:28 am

Hi, sprite

6:28 am

French toady doc! hahah

6:28 am

Hiya Sprite

hi BabbleRabble, good to see you.

6:29 am

6:29 am

Hi all. Hope you're enjoying the weekend.

6:29 am

hi Liz

6:30 am

hi liz

6:30 am

well, you've put up with a lot from his Alzheimer's and/or dementia - time to use it to your advantage

6:30 am

Hello, Lizlin. I am having a rather weakend

6:30 am

Lol

6:30 am

pack up and go, if and when he says something, tell him "we discussed this a month ago"

6:30 am

I think your suggestion is the best, smores. Huh, you don't remember? I told you a month ago!

6:31 am

It may do you both some good, I know it will do you good

6:32 am

I don't think it will do him good, but, as they say here, "tant pis" (or Auntie couldn't wait

6:32 am

lol...BR...nice one

6:33 am

We are having a winter weather watch ... so I closed the shades

6:33 am

maybe if your not there and he has to do things for himself, he'll realize how good he has it

6:34 am

...test...

6:34 am

the problem is "he'd rather sit in the dark"

6:34 am

closing the shades against the weather is a good idea

6:34 am

Are you okay, sprite

6:34 am

how is Tim, sprite?

6:35 am

there... my messages got eaten by cyberspace pacmen. Here goes again: Just go, ruby. I am serious. He is just manipulating you, which is his pattern to get his way. Just go and enjoy it. He can manage.

6:36 am

OK, with all your encouragement, dear babble firneds, I am not going to book my ticket and hotel!!!!

6:36 am

now***

6:37 am

YAY ruby!!!

6:37 am

not that okay at the moment, BabbleRabble. Desperately counting my blessings to convince myself life is worth living. Must sounds familiar?

6:37 am

(not not))

6:37 am

{{sprite}} extra hugs

6:37 am

I don't know the situation but it really sounds like the break will do you good as well as being fun.

6:38 am

Tim is doing ok, ruby. Communication with him is better, from both sides. A bit more peace in da house.

6:38 am

and maybe I'll even get to dance.....

6:38 am

<-- misses dancing

6:38 am

you go dance, ruby. You are more than due a break.

6:38 am

{{sprite}}

6:38 am

thanks, ruby and BabbleRabble, for asking :)

6:39 am

good morning all - hello all

6:39 am

yes, sprite, yes

6:39 am

Hello, wvteach

6:39 am

tell Tim that if he lived with me, it would be much tougher!

6:39 am

{{teach}}

6:39 am

Hi teach.

6:39 am

did the second storm touch WVA

6:39 am

will do, ruby, grin. Hi teach :)

6:40 am

I'm not as nice as his mom, that's for sure

6:40 am

not at all - but counties just east of us still do not have power from first storm though it is getting fewer

6:41 am

hi everyone

6:41 am

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance I hope you dance

6:41 am

reaching out over the miles to you, BabbleRabble. If we can't do it day by day, we'll do it hour by hour or minute by minute.

6:41 am

that is really tough for them, especially with the cold weather

6:41 am

Thanks, sprite

6:41 am

BR: that is a touching poem. Thank you from my heart

6:42 am

very nice BR

6:42 am

that is beautiful. Thank you, BabbleRabble.

6:44 am

I got quite proficient at the wallflower shuffle

6:44 am

6:45 am

I wouldve dragged you off the wall BR

6:45 am

shake...shake...shake

6:45 am

I could even have led, BR

6:45 am

shake...shake...shake

6:45 am

or sat beside you and made you smile, or even laugh

6:45 am

shake your booty!

6:47 am

lol...just glanced at the grid...last word added almost an hour ago

6:48 am

one would almost think you aren't here primarily for the game, smores ;)

6:48 am

lol

6:49 am

and now it's time for the power nap!

6:49 am

111 and nbt and nbs! thank you for all your good advice, friends

7:00 am

hi crossy *hugs* How are you and how is your dear Elegant? Is the will issue a good bit underway now?

7:00 am

E's eliminated

7:01 am

Excellent, emores :)

7:01 am

lol..sprite

7:01 am

she is fine and it is well under way now(almost 50% done) then 2-5 months to drag it through probate.once it is off the the courts i think my elegant can at last grieve for her mum

7:02 am

yes, and she will have you to hold her and let her grieve. Glad things are developing well. It is a tough job.

7:03 am

one thing it has done is to open my own eyes to make sure my own affirs in that regard are up to date and clear and concise with an accurate list of nombers and names in there as well

7:03 am

maybe when this is all over you two can take a weekend to a fav place

7:03 am

indeed

7:04 am

losing her mum and dad within 2 years has been hard on my beloved

7:04 am

very wise, crossy.

7:04 am

2 years to the day actually.both passed on oct 25th as it turns out as i was going through her papers

7:05 am

wow, the same day

7:05 am

how odd. That will be really a date that stands out for her year after year.

7:05 am

but we are both well and today is a day for happy thoughts i think and to remember our veterans

7:06 am

yes, a huge ThankYou to all veterans

7:06 am

it certainly is, crossy. May they have the peace they earned so very dearly.

7:07 am

and it is nice weather here for a change,warm and sunny.usually it is so miserable for them,cold half rain half wet snow

7:08 am

that is good :) Meeting up with the only people who really understand - and good weather to lift the spirits a bit.

7:10 am

we have a canadian forces base nearby and often vintage planes are made available to them for transport if they need to travel for services some of them are quite rare and graciously offered for use by the owners for this one day

7:11 am

that is a good thing

7:11 am

that is wonderful crossy

7:12 am

when one of those 4 prop ww2 bombers go over you are stunned and actually wonder how they stay in the air.it is staggering to think the skys were once filled with them as they flew over on their runs

7:12 am

hi all - sad day to day - ist aniversary of Dad's death - being quiet and sad today - prob be back later

7:12 am

not that i am an advocate of war,but we should never,ever forget

7:12 am

((kazz))

7:13 am

:( Kazzer

7:13 am

{{{{Kazzer}}}} Am sorry, Kazzer... a day of mourning and remembering... prayers and good thoughts to you.

7:13 am

try to remember the good times today

7:13 am

maybe go do something you both enjoyed

7:14 am

if you enjoy war doccumentaries the best (IMHO) is still the 1974 BBC series world at war

7:16 am

I very much don't, crossy. I remember, but I don't look it up. I am very much anti-war, but I also very much appreciate the efforts of those who fought so peace could be rewon. I try not to watch documentaries that make me feel depressed, but I do spend time sending up a prayer for peace and for all those who fought and either died, or had to live with the consequences.

7:18 am

I know what you mean sprite, I have watched a few and while very interesting also very sad

7:18 am

that is good also

7:18 am

I do plan on watching Sargent York today

7:19 am

7:19 am

*Sergeant

7:19 am

:) Hi tc

7:19 am

this is one of my personal truths: I can do more by allowing some love to collect in my heart and send it out into the world, than by letting the cruelty and suffering in the world flow into me and make me depressed or bitter.

7:20 am

one of the reasons we no long watch cable tv programming sprite:)

7:20 am

7:20 am

7:21 am

7:21 am

that is my only use for it as well.

7:21 am

Stop the hate and start the love, man...lol

7:22 am

when shows come on that use sexualizing your young children for trophies and prizes,it has gone too far in the name of entertainment and that was what did it for me in the end

7:22 am

yeah... I was born in the 60s, grin. Too young to be part of it then, but I guess it is in my very genes.

8:15 am

Hello, Car ... no bus today

8:15 am

No bus today...or tomorrow!

8:15 am

Hello BR! Hello Crossy!

8:16 am

construction ongoing?

8:16 am

bye peri

8:17 am

Still going....

8:17 am

and now it is time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!!

8:18 am

In the 1980s, Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Cartel was spending $2,500 a month on rubber bands just to hold all their cash.

8:18 am

wow

8:18 am

poor babies...

8:18 am

Hi Hurshy!

8:18 am

errr ok that one goes right over my head

8:18 am

hi hursh

8:19 am

I'm baaaack...lol

8:19 am

Hi Smores!

8:19 am

Hi car, hurshy

8:19 am

wb smores :)

8:20 am

crossy, sprite, is BR still here

8:20 am

Toronto to Dover, Delaware: 368 miles

8:20 am

lol...guess so

8:20 am

Yup!

8:20 am

am happy to say YES, he is :)

8:21 am

Subtract about 60 miles, BR, as we're in Northern Delaware :-)

8:21 am

ok,that was a pretty lame tidbit so here is a bonus one...

8:21 am

wow crossy, your tidbit is sad...

8:21 am

In New Jersey and Oregon, pumping your own gas is illegal. These states banned self-service out of fear that untrained consumers might light themselves on fire. The laws are surprisingly popular with citizens; any mention of their repeal has been met with fervent opposition.

8:21 am

they spent my income on rubber bands, terrible

8:22 am

lol....nice

8:22 am

Do they charge more for it? Here self-serve is cheaper than full-serve.

8:22 am

a luxureous law

8:22 am

New Jersey is just 10 minutes away from me, and I hate not doing self-serve, so I always gas up in Delaware. So far haven't lit myself on fire!

8:22 am

here it is the same

8:22 am

<-----misses full service stations

8:23 am

Gas is actually slightly cheaper in NJ, for whatever reason, even though it's full service.

8:23 am

here it is almost non-existant

8:23 am

here as well, car.

8:23 am

Hi Brookie! Glad to hear that!

8:23 am

I just don't like handing my credit card to a gas station attendant in NJ.

8:23 am

my last station i gave up just this march was the last full serve in town

8:24 am

the reason is that NJ puts less state taxes on the gas.

8:24 am

Woot! Found co 10!!!!!

8:24 am

30 years in the fuel industry was more than enough fro crossy

8:24 am

YAY car

8:24 am

the other 10 is also co

8:24 am

good job, car

8:25 am

you guys better enjoy your gas prices..is roughly $5.20 a u.s gallon here

8:25 am

ouch.

8:25 am

eww

8:25 am

Many places here requires a deposit or credit card at the pump before any gas is pumped ... to many getting away without paying

8:26 am

too many

8:26 am

i am one who acknowledges that gas prices MUST go up in order to encourage the purchase of more fuel efficient cars by americans. the prices ought to reflect the actual costs to the environment with which we will have to reckon.

8:26 am

passed a law a couple years ago here, lose your license if you pump and run

8:27 am

noooooo

8:28 am

if gas prices reflect reserves and usage, the US has five percent of the reserves and uses 25 percent

8:29 am

I agree Hursh. No matter how high gas prices go, I still see people driving around in their big ass SUVs. And most of them are young singles who have no need for such a big vehicle.

8:29 am

yeah - never go off road, either. just think SUVs are cool.

8:29 am

Hello Molly!

8:29 am

agree we do consume to much

8:29 am

Hi Molly

8:30 am

yes several Hummers around here, very disturbing

8:30 am

The sense of entitlement is a fallacy ... since the US also is first or second in pollution

8:31 am

No such thing as clean coal

8:32 am

and the breaks the oil companies get is unconscionable .... refineries in the US have increased exports

8:32 am

hi, all. I think my eye has almost healed. I feel much better today.

8:32 am

hi Angel

8:32 am

Hello Angelsong! I am so glad to hear that.

8:33 am

Morning all!

8:33 am

Hello uusue! How is Frank today?

8:33 am

hi double u sue *hugs* I read the news, small steps forward.

8:34 am

hurshy,i agree with you 100%

8:34 am

If you add in the cost of our Navy patrolling the shipping lanes the price spikes

8:34 am

A little better, car, still can't eat anything but he is healing gradually.

8:34 am

what smores said

slain term for being selfish

9:18 am

so humphrey was SELFISH?

9:18 am

with smokes he was

9:18 am

lol...

9:19 am

Humphrey Bogart, with his signature cigarette in mouth. From actor Humphrey Bogart, from Dutch surname Bogart (“keeper of an orchard”), from boomgaard (“orchard”), cognate to English boom (“piece of wood”)/beam + garden. Senses of selfishness and excess evolved from the original 1960’s use meaning “keep a joint in the mouth instead of passing it on”, recalling the actor’s signature practice of constantly keeping a cigarette dangling out of his mouth, even while talking. Other senses of “bullying” or “tough guy” also originated in the 1960’s and recall the actor’s various movie roles. Another potential origin of the vernacular comes from Humphrey Bogart's role in the film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre in which his character, Dobbs, becomes increasingly selfish with the gold mine that he shares with his two partners.

9:20 am

And that explains that. very good BR.

9:20 am

it is a wonder that political correctnes inc have no sanitized his movies as the very sigh of ole bogie may scar our children and offend others

9:21 am

Roll another one, just like the other one ...

9:21 am

9:21 am

I frankly think "others" should get over themselves.

9:22 am

yet the so-called reality shows are fine...

Hello, welki

9:30 am

writing love letters in the .... pat

9:31 am

Had a great lunch yesterday with JMC, Peri, Brooke, Doren and Hubby.

9:31 am

where'd you meet, hego? philly?

9:31 am

and the food was even good.

9:31 am

deleware

9:32 am

No In Delaware on the river front.

9:32 am

Good location, actually.

9:33 am

you've met all but brooke before, yes?

9:33 am

walk right in sit right down daddy

9:33 am

no, not me.

9:33 am

are you listening to the radio, br?

9:33 am

I hadn't met Dorens either.

9:33 am

yes

9:34 am

good station BR

9:36 am

don't know how many there are on babble, but a big thank you to all our veterans

9:37 am

ditto

9:38 am

Vietnam, the fun spot of Southeast Asia

9:39 am

ah yes.

9:39 am

hats off to you, BR

9:39 am

Sad time .... Four dead in Ohio ... and that kind of stuff

9:40 am

remember it well.

9:40 am

i remember. i was a kid living in ny. thank you for your service.

9:42 am

I had it easy .. today those who have to endure multiple deployments I doubt will ever really recover

9:42 am

Personally, I think it is criminal

9:43 am

Agreed

9:43 am

i agree, too

9:44 am

It feels like Viet Nam all over again only hotter and dryer.

9:46 am

On Christmas day, we got a monsoon type rain .... it rained so hard the level go to about a foot ... the water of very warm and steam rose

9:47 am

yuk

9:47 am

nobody dreams of a soggy Christmas.

9:48 am

Got the soap out and cleaned up

9:48 am

making the best of a bad situation.

9:49 am

does it upset you to talk about this, br?

9:50 am

Not really ... I wish all who supported the war had been measured for uniforms and sent to an infantry unit

9:51 am

I wish all who DIDN'T support it had been sent! Just desserts.

9:51 am

and 5000 more died while nixon and kissenger pursued peace with honor

9:52 am

Completely disagree, Mimicat

9:52 am

*shrug* nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree - unlikely either of you will sway the other

9:53 am

Some supported the troops, but not the war.

9:53 am

I got home to taunts of baby killer

9:54 am

I actually meant to say those that didn't support the troops should be sent---not the war. That "war" should never have been. And why are we still in Afghanistan? I totally agree with you BR.

9:54 am

There you go! Unanimous.

9:54 am

horrible, br

9:55 am

When will we ever learn?.....sigh......

9:56 am

Yep, hego. Gee, reminds me of a 60's song....when will we learn.

9:56 am

Long time passing.

9:56 am

long time passing

9:56 am

there we go again, hego

9:56 am

Joni Mitchell, I think.

9:56 am

snap again!

9:57 am

where have all the flowers gone

9:57 am

noooo - pete seeger

9:57 am

oh! right.

9:57 am

I guess she just sang it.

9:57 am

but peter paul and mary put it on the charts

9:57 am

There you go! Love musical references. I'm 61 but until 3 years ago still sang with a classic rock band. Hey, if Tina Turner can do it, so can I, right?!

9:58 am

sure thing, mimi (and tina turner's legs are still amazing!)

9:58 am

My hubby had a classic rock band.

9:58 am

Had to give it up. Too hard on the ears.

Netflix has lots of concerts available for instant viewing. I have Joni Mitchell and it's a great thing to see her and hear her again. Joan Baez is also available along with The Moody Blues, Steely Dan, and lots more. Fun.

10:04 am

i enlisted twice, but never made it past inactive reserves

10:05 am

Happy Sunday morning, Babblers!

10:05 am

Might have been the pancake hat, Welki. : )

10:05 am

looks like Roku box downloads are blocked in canada

10:05 am

Judi! I missed you yesterday.

10:05 am

Hi Judi.

10:05 am

hi judi, molly

10:06 am

yes, the hat is more suited to the canadian military uniforms.

10:06 am

I shouldn't be sitting here. I really have to clean out my laundry room. It's starting to look like an episode of "Hoarders" in there.

10:06 am

Hi Molly

10:06 am

we don't get hulu either

10:06 am

Missed me? I didn't play yesterday. Too busy.

10:06 am

10:07 am

10:07 am

Oh no! I thought that was next Saturday! ARRRRRGH!!!!

10:07 am

10:07 am

<---Is scared of hoarders

10:07 am

I am an idiot.

10:07 am

Oh, so sorry : (

10:08 am

could happen to anybody.

10:08 am

There you go, hego! I'm with you....spent over two decades cleaning up for a family of five and now that I'm alone again, I just do what I want when I want. As Erma Bombeck said "If you're coming to see me, come on but if you're coming to see my house you'll have to come another day 'cause it's not ready.

10:08 am

I am so NOT a hoarder. I just can't ignore it any longer.

10:08 am

<---Wonders if Hego hadn't said anything if Judi would have been standing at Market Place next Saturday, wondering where everyone was.

10:09 am

10:13 am

Babble players were gossiped about at a meet up? *Flounces out of chat in a huff* : P

10:14 am

this is my tidbit of the day in honour of all soldiers ,american and canadian who served and died,served and live and still serve..

10:14 am

With a hero's greeting we will welcome him, With hero's speeches we will honor him, With a hero's ending we will bury him, That's the sad and silent song of a soldier. And comfort his family with a telegram, We regret to inform you we have lost a man, But we gave him the highest medal of the land, That's the sad and silent song of a soldier. We know what an awful price he had to pay, But the enemy was contained for another day, We trained him well, but he would have wanted it that way, That's the sad and silent song of a soldier. Oh, the weary wounded they wait by his side, Wondering why they hadn't also died, the picture of victory on its pride, That's the sad and silent song of a soldier. And the flag is at half mast wet with foreign rain, Ignored by the stranger he had helped to train, To him it was duty, to them it's a game, That's the sad and silent song of a soldier. At Arlington he's lowered down without a pause, And his native land welcomes him with open jaws, And the tombstone reads such a noble cause, That's the sad and silent song of a soldier. Now a moment of silence for the broken man, While the president proudly crows "we'll never bend", And cheers their replacements marching off again, That's the sad and silent song of a soldier. And the flag draped coffins are a sailin' home, And the waves are a watchin' as the engines drone, As the ship draws near, hear the bugle moan The sad and silent song of a soldier.

10:14 am

sorry for the length

10:14 am

Me, too--- I adore Napa.

10:14 am

10:14 am

Very funny Molly

2:23 pm

in + sounds like the place in brooklyn where you'd ride the Cyclone

2:23 pm

Goody, ty

2:23 pm

speaking of --- has anyone heard from Annie?

2:24 pm

No, and I have not heard from Mom, who said she would email me when she heard from Annie. I'm concerned.

2:24 pm

spoken like a true Brooklynite!

2:24 pm

No, I was wondering about that myself.

2:25 pm

maybe i'll send mom a message and ask

2:26 pm

I can't imagine being 27 flights up and without power for this long.

2:26 pm

good idea.

2:26 pm

done. will let you know if she replies.

2:27 pm

i'm still amazed with the internet. takes me less than a minute to send a message to someone thousands of miles away.

2:27 pm

(and it's not like i'm a newbie - been on this net thing for twenty years now)

2:28 pm

that is great. consider Babble. we talk to others all over the world!

2:28 pm

Wow Welkie, you were on the internet in 92? Most people didn't even have computers then.

2:29 pm

in 1996 or 1997, i had an internet party - people from germany, australia and all over the u.s. came to visit

2:29 pm

I began in 1995.

2:29 pm

i used to do keypunch, that's how long i've been around

2:29 pm

I should be better by now. lol

2:30 pm

I used to do keypunch too!

2:30 pm

It seems like the dark ages now.

2:30 pm

I always get the internet and the world wide web confused.

2:31 pm

Used to use the old keypunch cards for crafts projects - make neat Xmas wreaths

2:32 pm

all the're good for now Teach.

2:32 pm

can't get them anyore that i know of

2:34 pm

how about the big floppy disks - or even the small ones! bet there are tons of folks who'd say, "what? what are these disks of which you speak?" LOL

2:34 pm

Is the te 5, 12 something dumb?

2:35 pm

not something dumb, but a common word here - te + ***igo ink

2:35 pm

got it

2:35 pm

Oops1 ty anyway.

2:35 pm

still have some of the 5 inch floppies and the 3 in. hard floppy - taught a coputer class and kept them to cut them apart to let students see what they looked like

2:36 pm

hehehe - how many would know what ***igo ink is!!?!

2:36 pm

I do

2:36 pm

Also have lots of floppies.

2:36 pm

and a floppy drive.

2:36 pm

I do - thankyou too....though I am sitting here racking my brains to remember how the cards worked

2:36 pm

Morning everyone

2:37 pm

Hi Lynn-

2:37 pm

zeros and ones - it's all about binary

2:37 pm

have the floppies (both sizes) and even an old Apple II GS computer that can use them

2:37 pm

the card went through a machine that "read" the holes.

2:38 pm

does no one remember the 8.5 inch floppies, replaced by 5.25 then 3.5 inch ones?

2:38 pm

yes, seain, we do.

2:39 pm

<---comes out of lurk...wow!! finally monkeyed the ne8!

2:39 pm

2:51 pm

Yeah, I thought of you as I typed it earlier...lol

2:52 pm

Up and down, lynxxx, he's been having some nausea, but was up and walking, and just got his catheter out.

2:53 pm

Not his epidural catheter?

2:54 pm

No, the other one.

2:54 pm

Yay!!

2:54 pm

The epidural did come apart when he got up to walk, but they put it back together.

2:54 pm

Sounds like good progress. I always like (fruit)yoghurt for nausea

2:55 pm

The "other" one, : D Bet he's glad to have that out.

2:55 pm

He can't eat anything yet, lynxxx, not even water

2:56 pm

Poor love

2:56 pm

he can't even have water

2:57 pm

No, he still has a nasogastric tube draining his stomach

2:59 pm

:(

2:59 pm

It may be awhile for that to keep the system quiet...

3:00 pm

Probably another day or two, Jill.

3:01 pm

Although he is starting to pass gas into the ileostomy bag, which he says is a very strange sensation.

3:01 pm

Bet it is, is the ostomy planned to be reversed?

3:01 pm

brb

3:04 pm

yes, probably after the chemotherapy.

3:04 pm

ce6 please?

3:04 pm

ce & not coins but ****s

3:04 pm

That's good, something to be a great goal. He will really need to boost up his protein intake when able to eat...

3:05 pm

I assume they have him on IV feeding?

3:05 pm

or ce & a short letter is a ****

3:05 pm

Yes, the nutritionist was already here and we expect to see a lot more of her.

3:05 pm

ce + spiral ****book

Hmmm uusue, I wonder why not IV feeding (will be yellow color)

3:09 pm

yw dawg...

3:09 pm

sue I have been taking in all that has happened to poor Frank. My nephew went thru all that last year and is doing much better with all the changes

3:09 pm

ty Jilly

3:10 pm

still resting his digestive system, I think. I assume that once they start to see action they will get him more nutrition

3:10 pm

thanks, bugs, it is always good to hear about people who have been through this

3:10 pm

jill, he's on 5% glucose now, clear solution

3:11 pm

like Frank, he had a good woman who never stopped loving him and that made all the difference

3:11 pm

awwww.....

3:11 pm

I had no idea that just saline was enough to keep one hydrated and nourished.

3:11 pm

what a lovely wise onservation Bugsaw

3:12 pm

3:20 pm

molly (and all others concerned about AnnieBrook) - I just heard back from mom. she emailed and snail mailed annie and has not heard anything back. she's hoping that annie and bobby are with her daughter in connecticut.

3:20 pm

WooT WooT WooT lynxx!!

3:20 pm

*sends positive thoughts* to anniebrook...

3:21 pm

((((annie)))))

3:21 pm

i'm wondering if mom should get in touch with anyone in nyc to maybe do a welfare check on annie

3:21 pm

(or at least knock on a neighbor's door)

3:21 pm

I would think that Annie's daughter is making sure that Annie is okay.

3:22 pm

how silly of me not to think of that *boink*

3:22 pm

then why were you concerned, molls? just because she's not been around?

3:25 pm

still, would be nice to know she's okay - wherever she is.

3:25 pm

Because it's not like Annie to not check in, at least with Mom. I doubt Annie's daughter would check in with internet friends if there had been any problems. I'm sure it's just an extended lack of power.

3:27 pm

there should be official protocol for these things :)

3:27 pm

We went to a luau our last night in Kona, both couples on each side of us were Sandy victims, both still without power, one from NJ, the other Long Island...

3:28 pm

I know I'm not a city person, but I think 27 floor up with no power for a week is a scary thing.

3:28 pm

Don't worry Mols...hubby has strict orders to post under me if anything should befall me....

3:28 pm

*floors

3:29 pm

i agree - we had a fire alarm go off at work last week and i was thankful my office is on the 2nd floor (of a 20 story building)

3:35 pm

HI teach

4:32 pm

hi teach!

4:35 pm

bichon ...who is that sweet creature in your profile?

4:37 pm

I mentioned in my profile that we are fostering a Shih Tzu rescue, Watson. He is an absolute joy to have inthe house.

4:37 pm

He looks a little chilly :)

4:38 pm

has he lost his coat?

4:38 pm

He was found emaciated and right now he's with us so we can fatten him up. Ordinarily he wears a sweater, but I need a "whole body" picture for the rescue organization

4:39 pm

Yes, he was all matted [even over his eyes and he had to be shaved.

4:39 pm

Poor little dude

4:39 pm

He's gained some weight and when he's well enough, he will be neutered and have surgery on his leg. Then a lucky owner will have him

4:40 pm

It's good that he was found when he was. He was close to death.

4:40 pm

poor soul ... glad there is someone out there to give him love and attention.

4:40 pm

I don't know if he ran away or was tossed out. But, he is the sweetest little thing.

4:41 pm

He certainly is adorable..even shaved down..sweet face:)

4:41 pm

I've never had a Shih Tzu before. Very delicate compared to my Bichons

4:41 pm

wish I could give him a cuddle.

4:42 pm

I love bichons..little bundles of fun

4:42 pm

I'll give him one for you. My two Bichons were found in a similar situation.

4:43 pm

I have a mixed breed little one...poodle/yorkie

4:44 pm

ty bichon ...

4:44 pm

You have a liitle one too mo?

4:47 pm

Toy Poodle, Mo? Must be really tiny, like a Shih Tzu. I don't know how Shih Tzu's get.

4:47 pm

India ... no but we look after our nephews black labrador and she is so intelligent and loveable.

4:48 pm

bichon ... that is a picture similar to a friends pooch.

4:49 pm

nbs

4:50 pm

Teach flushes the chat log : D

4:50 pm

I compared the picture with one on the internet. I don't see any Bichon in him. The rescue organization places Bichons and Bichon mixes

4:52 pm

I cannot remember the name of the breed but he looks similar to a shih tzu.

4:53 pm

Good of you to take him in Bich. That's a lot of dogs in the house, you must really love them.

4:54 pm

It is our pleasure. He has brought us much happiness. We will be so sad when he leaves for his forever home

4:56 pm

I admire people like you .... I dont think I would be able to part with them .

4:57 pm

Just wait, I'll be sobbing

4:57 pm

*Gets tissues ready for Bich*

4:57 pm

I bet you will ... so would I.

5:00 pm

hi again all!

5:00 pm

well it is late here .... bed time I think nice to have chatted and keep up the good work bichon .. goodnight all.

5:01 pm

night, mo!

5:02 pm

hi sue .... how is Frank.

5:04 pm

hi mo, he is tired and nauseous, but doing a little better than yesterday. Walked farther.

5:05 pm

good to hear it ... it sounds as if he is improving .... my best wishes go to you both.

5:06 pm

thanks, mo, it will be a long journey back to health but we are on the way.

5:06 pm

must be off now .... goodnight.

5:06 pm

night!

5:08 pm

What a rip off to be nauseous when you haven't eaten in days.

5:08 pm

he is terrified of the pain of even trying to vomit, so has been fighting it, successfully so far.

5:09 pm

another rip off - he naturally has very low blood pressure, which is usually a good thing, but a lot of medications lower your blood pressure (like painkillers and antinausea meds) so they can't give him as strong a dose

5:10 pm

Well that sucks.

5:11 pm

nevertheless he is doing pretty well. Having a nap right now so I am babbling quietly :-)

5:20 pm

Is there a way to Babble loudly? : )

5:21 pm

well, one could swear loudly at Enable, I suppose :-)

5:21 pm

hi all.. can i have a clue for the de7/36 please?

5:22 pm

de + not off + facial twitch

5:22 pm

thanks molly!

5:36 pm

hello again

5:36 pm

hi smores!

5:37 pm

{{Sue}}

5:39 pm

I'm on my daughters tiny netbook, it feels strange

5:39 pm

I've babbled on my phone and my ipad as well as laptops and desktops, the phone is the hardest

5:40 pm

lol...i bet

5:40 pm

Good morning everyone. Sue - hope Frank is feeling a bit better this morning (afternoon)

5:41 pm

I've only played on my laptop which is much larger than this one

5:42 pm

hi liz! He's quite tired and has been having some nausea. He did walk all through the halls this morning (probably wore himself out), and his catheter is out. They've started him on a little glucose (was just saline), so this is progress.

5:42 pm

Hiya liz

5:43 pm

Anaesthesia made me feel sick for quite a while - good that he's walking and that he's had some glucose - even through saline - it's still nourishment. Hopefully a bit of progress every day :)

5:44 pm

first in6 please?

5:44 pm

I think he's nauseous because his intestines are starting to work a little - he's passed some gas through the ostomy. Also he hasn't had anything to eat since Thursday (and that was clear liquids).

5:45 pm

first in6 ends in sometimes vowel, cos

5:45 pm

You're probably right about the reason - I was just saying don't underrate the effect of the anaesthesia on top of everything else!

5:46 pm

that is certainly true, liz!

5:47 pm

It must be hard - everyone offering their own advice and comments!!!! Too much input!

5:47 pm

Anyway, hope you're continuing to be well looked after too!

5:48 pm

oh, I'll take all the input I can get, liz! better too much than too little. And people are being very nice to me too - bringing me food, and one of my neighbors did our laundry

5:49 pm

:)

5:49 pm

ty for in6 how about in8?

5:49 pm

not guilty, cos

5:49 pm

not guilty, Cos

5:50 pm

I swear I didn't do it

5:50 pm

Enough clues Cos?

5:51 pm

fireworks!

5:51 pm

I'm going to nominate Sue's neighbor for neighbor of the year. I can't imagine doing someone else's laundry. That was above and beyond.

5:51 pm

Congrats Sue!

5:51 pm

WTG uu!!!

5:52 pm

she is a real sweetheart, molly!

5:54 pm

tyvm!

5:56 pm

hi all

5:56 pm

Hi Peri

5:56 pm

sue, glad Frank is doing a little better today.

5:56 pm

Hi Peri

5:56 pm

back to find my last 36 words

5:58 pm

sue you are lucky to have such nice friends and neighbors

5:58 pm

Wow Sue. Just read your update on Frank. He's lucky that he had that appt. and that the surgery was don't quickly

6:01 pm

Hi Peri :)

6:02 pm

1/2 way babbling 1/2 way watching Clash of the Titans

6:02 pm

my window is all pretty with the christmas lights up --- no don't freak my tree isn't up yet -- not til next weekend

6:03 pm

lol...nice cos

6:04 pm

we always do ours the day after Thanksgiving

6:04 pm

theres only 43 days left. i want to enjoy the tree as long as i can :)

6:05 pm

true

6:05 pm

I'm afraid to put a tree up anymore. I have 3 crazy cats who I can just envision hurling themselves at the tree and breaking ornaments and lights. I miss the tree but I'd miss the cats more. Now I have to go to my son's house for Christmas decor.

6:06 pm

Hi, mimi! You could decorate the cat tree with cat treats :-)

6:07 pm

hi Sue

6:07 pm

I was concerned with my cats but only had one problem in 5 years.. my cat ran and attacked the tree, it fell on him. never tried it again. also a hint: leave bottom tree empty no ornaments.. harder for cat to reach

6:08 pm

the first no6 please?

6:08 pm

They have already torn a couple of posters off the wall, ripped my shower curtain, bitten through the speaker wire to my computer.....I've had cats most of my life but never ones like these. They were all 3 strays who found me. But I love 'em. Sue, hope things continue to go well and Frank recuperates quickly.

6:08 pm

sue, I signed the guestbook for Frank on Caringbridge. my name there is periwinkle babble :)

6:08 pm

hi bichon!

6:08 pm

do you think Frank would like Reiki sent to him. he will speed up the healing process?

6:09 pm

it will speed up.....

6:09 pm

Just reading your profile notes. hioping for the best for Frank

6:09 pm

I also have 3 cats, only one of them ever bothered the tree - I sprayed him, told him no and that was it

6:09 pm

thanks so much, peri! And with what we are facing, we can use all the support we can get.

6:09 pm

we never put any thing on the bottom either - nothing that dangles at least

6:10 pm

was that a yes to the Reiki or not?

6:10 pm

yes, peri, he would like that.

6:11 pm

ok, will do, just need to let me know when/if he gets chemo or radiation. don't want to send during the process but can send after each session. will send some tonight.

6:11 pm

hi all

6:11 pm

hi jes

6:12 pm

Thanks, peri! It will be three weeks before he starts chemo or radiation, I think (although we haven't seen an oncologist yet)

"deep" has implications for both

8:24 pm

yes it is

8:25 pm

the an 6 is the an 5 with an s

an6/18 is the first an6 word; there is no an5 before it to pluralize. thanks though.

8:28 pm

What vehicles drive on ... av**ue or **reet

8:29 pm

ah, thanks.

8:35 pm

Congrats, wvteach. well done

8:36 pm

yay teach!

8:36 pm

Congrats, teach!

8:36 pm

you got me curious about the karst and the ce6, BR, so I looked them up. ce6 is a single sinkhole, while karst is the whole topography, but they are indeed related (karst topography often has ce6s in it)

8:36 pm

and yay teach!

8:39 pm

Fun be curious

8:44 pm

Asiatic leguminous herb...say that three times fast.

8:44 pm

ce6s are also usually characterized by a fresh water source within them, too.

8:46 pm

firewords. Last word was so5, to do with sound.

8:46 pm

I am SO below my intelligence grade in this crowd.

9:05 pm

It is a toxic place for me ... I may as well leave too.

9:06 pm

babble is toxic? i am sorry you feel that way BR

9:06 pm

i am glad frank is getting stronger

9:07 pm

Sounds like overall he is doing better! And how are you uusue?

9:07 pm

I am ok, jilly, had a bit of a meltdown while he was sleeping (because I felt like I could relax), and that actually helped

9:08 pm

yes, it has been toxic for many of us, BR -- though I will sometimes check in to see if you and my other friends are here, I am not even playing much of the time. Just as well, I get more done in other things now.

9:09 pm

((((uusue)))) I know it has been a very rough journey for the both of you!

9:09 pm

I have found it to be quite supportive overall; every once in a while people get a bit snippy and then I just go do something else for a while

9:09 pm

but you all mean a lot to me now and I am glad to be here

9:09 pm

My thoughts exactly uusue

9:53 pm

Back later - forgot to clear up after lunch! Have a good evening! As I said, a nuisance!
