12:38 am

nbt/nbs!

12:38 am

12:40 am

when I think of watersports I think of the bathtub.. but that's just me

12:41 am

You probably don't want to hear the other definition of "water sports" :P

1:08 am

hi everyone, just back from bridge

1:16 am

hi all -- me too

1:17 am

guess everyone finished early and left

1:17 am

looks like it!

1:19 am

I see Lickety's list is up.

1:19 am

yes, very helpful

1:26 am

nbt - need a 7

1:26 am

Hi flosey and Jilli

1:26 am

ou 7

1:27 am

ty Liz -- so flosey and I are not alone!

1:27 am

I've just come back - it's been very quiet. Kind of weird. Not like normal!

1:28 am

hi Liz, just took a break, am ready for bed

1:29 am

sleep well Flosey.

1:29 am

not leaving, just like to be ready

1:29 am

gnight flosey

1:30 am

ah I see -- in your PJs

1:31 am

leccy blanket on!!!!

1:31 am

yes, such a nice feeling, don't use one Liz, just cumfy covers

1:33 am

it's getting to summer here - lightweight duvet and sometimes just a sheet. Haven't used leccy blanket for years even in UK! But it sounded snuggly and warm!

1:35 am

we had them at home, before I was married, but I never felt comfortable with them

1:35 am

ah, finally got that ou7 -- NBS

1:36 am

wtg jilli

1:36 am

we had those blankets too, years ago -- don't remember where they went. I think duvets replaced them

1:38 am

yes, the duvets are so light yet warm

1:39 am

cuddly too

1:39 am

yes

1:40 am

love duvets - feels strange without the weight in the summer

1:40 am

phant -- stash

1:40 am

for me - logic

1:41 am

yes, I see, Liz

1:41 am

finally got the ry 4

1:43 am

that one is easy for me -- I'm a Great Dane pedigree nut and there was an English Champion called Ry** of Ouborough.

1:44 am

OK - lovely dogs - but just couldn't see it for looking!

1:45 am

sticks in my memory

1:58 am

over halfway

2:00 am

Go Jilli!

2:00 am

haha liz!

2:00 am

All encouragement helps!

2:01 am

true -- and how are YOU doing?

2:01 am

81 down - 55 to go! It takes me ages to find words! And I love words so that's weird!

2:02 am

I've just started using the list!

2:02 am

we're almost the same -- I'm 83/53

2:02 am

96/40 here

2:03 am

smart flosey

2:03 am

hubby picked up a few before heading off to bed

2:03 am

Good on you Flosey! I've got one more c to have chopped the c's!

2:03 am

nice to have even one and a half heads

2:04 am

Mine helps sometimes but reckons I find the easy ones before I ask him!

2:05 am

hmmm, I see I shuld be in the PB for mentioning what Lickety provides

2:06 am

oops! I hadn't even seen that word! Sorry!!!!!

2:07 am

I know what the PB is but no one's ever really explained how it works!

2:09 am

if you post a grid word in the chat log you are banished to the PB, but there are usually goodies there. All very silly.

2:09 am

So banished as in no chat or what?

2:09 am

Doesn't stopyou from playing or chatting or anything, really.

2:10 am

oops! Transgressed again!!!! Must be getting word tired!

2:10 am

Just silliness to make the perp feel guilty-ish.

2:10 am

Virtual punishment!

2:10 am

But the goodies are fun!

2:11 am

And greetings to the fellow PB inmate -- I found a banana and milk there as my goodnight treat -- what's your dicovery?

2:12 am

83 /53 now - Twiglets - an English snack food! Sleep well ladies, you'll probably be gone before I'm back!

2:13 am

Ah -- used to be able to get Twiglets here -- guess they're all in the PB now

2:13 am

88/48 here

2:14 am

Thankfully one of the local supermarkets has them - I adore them and am a real marmite fan! Can you get marmite in Canada?

2:15 am

If I couldn't get marmite, I'd have friends sending it to me!

2:15 am

yes Liz, we can, but I don't care for it

2:15 am

We can get Marmaite and Vegemite here in British Columbia but I was not brought up on them and you can keep 'em.

2:15 am

The English adverts say you either love it or hate it! I'll eat Vegemite if pushed!

2:16 am

I detest them both, sorry!

2:16 am

lol!

2:17 am

vegemite and grits make a good aggregate to fix potholes

2:17 am

hi babrab

2:17 am

hello

2:18 am

Hi BR

2:18 am

Hello, Lizlin

2:18 am

Seems like I didn't go! My hubby says Marmite is axle grease!

5:33 am

yawn - maybe you should snuggle back in bed

5:34 am

I fell asleep early last night, missed the flip, but oh well.

5:35 am

Don't like the flip actually, too frantic for me. rather do a leisurely grid

5:35 am

probably will, though, if only to read a little. the cat is looking at me like I'm nuts to be out of bed already, he's still lounging there.

5:36 am

I hide the chat

5:37 am

poor lonely cat

5:37 am

hi Liz. ready for the Eclipse - apparently you get a good view up there

5:49 am

Just checking it out - do you know what time?

5:50 am

I think the best views are further north than here - in Cairns. They were talking about it when we were there last year.

5:50 am

Should get some views though.

5:50 am

Hey Lyn - looks like we'll get 84% eclipse. Will set the alarm for tomorrow morning 6..30 - yuck. That's early for us!

5:56 am

Now decided to get up at 6 and drive somewhere to get best view - like the beach! Prob have brekky later!

5:57 am

I know, if you get up even earlier you could make it up to Cairns...in fact if you go now.......

5:58 am

lol! Just leaving now!!!!! Everywhere in Cairns was booked out last year!

5:58 am

I love Cairns...have you been to the Botanic Gardens up there?

5:59 am

No - haven't been there - we snorkelled on the reef and went to Kuranda and up to the Daintree - usual touristy stuff. We were only there a couple of days.

Somewhere in Time was filmed there...always have wanted to go.

7:05 am

Frank and I need to make a list of things to do once he is done with chemo (nice steak dinner is on the top of the list). Travel is there too.

7:05 am

A friend of mine went this past summer. I hope to go this coming spring.

7:05 am

OK...he's gone to the truck...racing upstairs...brb...

7:24 am

diet ... something you put off while you keep putting on.

7:24 am

Good morning, my dear friends. I still have not heard from Annie but according to Con Edison's grid of outages she has power. It might be that she doesn't have internet service restored or she is at her daughters in CT

surgeon came in and talked to us briefly, Frank's electrolytes are out of whack so they will be giving him some IV calcium and potassium, as well as oral potassium, and he won't be going home before tomorrow (WHEW!!!)

8:23 am

but other than that he is doing well

actually that is good, don't you think? seem to get sent home so fast

8:23 am

I would think they would expect them to be out of whack since he hasn't eaten in several days

8:23 am

oh, I did NOT want him coming home tonight.

8:24 am

right, and he did a bowel prep before surgery, but they still have to fix it.

8:25 am

yeah, you don't want to rush anything

must go. continued best wishes for you

8:25 am

bye, TO, and thanks!

8:26 am

Bye TO, have a wonderful day :)

hi hego!

8:30 am

Hiya Hego :)

8:30 am

Has anyone heard from Annie?

8:30 am

Sue glad to hear Frank's post-op is progressing.

8:31 am

I don't think so, Mom was here earlier and she still hasn't heard anything

8:31 am

: ((

8:31 am

she said according to the power grid report she thinks they still don't have power

8:32 am

Oh, my!!

8:32 am

still from sandy, or new from the nor'easter?

8:33 am

still Sandy

8:33 am

yikes

8:33 am

unfortunately, still

8:33 am

Actually, what Mom said was that according to the Con Ed power grid, Annie has power but may not have internet restored yet.

8:33 am

oh well that's better!

8:34 am

that's encouraging.

8:34 am

Oh, thank you for clarifing Molly, I misunderstood

8:34 am

I've had that happen where power gets restored but it takes a few more days for internet.

8:34 am

that is much better

8:35 am

Mom also said that Annie could be at her daughter's place, which would be good. Hope she can check in soon.

8:35 am

hope she is safe

9:57 am

very nice:)

9:57 am

I wrote her and thanked her for the room; she wrote back and said she hoped we were out of it soon :-)

9:58 am

10:02 am

here we have a arbouredum where people can plant flowers and trees in honor of loved ones and have picnics etc.it is a thing of beauty but up till the 50,s it was actually our town dump from the 1840,s till 1951 then it sat till the 70,s and a bunch of people got together and cleaned it all up and made it a stunning green space for all to share.i looked on the plaques on site found a phone number and called the lady who originally spearheaded the operation and got ahold of her first time.she was in her late 80,s and actually went blind in the mid 70,s and never saw the finished product of what she worked so hard to acomplish,so i thanked her ,then spent half an hour describing it to her,all the trees,and wildlife,and streams and fointains..was nice

10:02 am

Hello, Sue. Dealing with a stoma and getting materials and seals that do not irritate is a significant process often requiring a lot of trial and err.

Congrats, Judi.

10:04 am

indeed, BR. The ostomy nurse is spending a lot of time with him (one advantage of a small town, I think, she's not overwhelmed), and we have a couple of friends with ostomies too so he is getting the user perspective as well.

10:04 am

yay judi!

10:04 am

1:41 pm

Just make sure that the chimney is cleaned out properly.

1:42 pm

And make sure you have a CO2 detector (doing the Mom thing again)

1:42 pm

ahh good thinking .. just put it on my list

1:43 pm

1:43 pm

we dont have a smoke detector because it broke and the landlord hasnt replaced it in 2 years.. but we do have a co2 detector that the landlord replaces every 6 months. ugh.

1:44 pm

I hope you get that place. It's very Christmasy to have a wood burning fireplace.

1:45 pm

agreed. also checking mobile home next to ryan's store but it looks seedy

1:45 pm

You should get a battery operated smoke detector and deduct the cost from your rent.

1:45 pm

yeah its been really bothering me. ill prob get one from ryan's mom and have her deduct it from rent

1:46 pm

January she gives me control of my finances back!! Can. Not. Wait.

ah...remembered Password but it is still odd.

2:33 pm

2:36 pm

i just opened expert up no problem

2:38 pm

just one of those mysteries I guess...mmm come to think of it there was another odd thing happening last night...maybe it is all something to do with my server provider

2:40 pm

I hid out in Philly from the storm, but it's a true disaster locally.

2:50 pm

many folks homeless now.

2:50 pm

whole towns wiped out.

2:50 pm

! are you back there now Hego. I am glad you remained safe

2:50 pm

I understand some people are still suffering greatly. :-(

2:51 pm

I came home as soon as the power was back on.

2:51 pm

Doren just got her power on Saturday.

2:52 pm

Sues father just got power back on a few days ago too

Tan - check! Well fed - check. Mangled tongue - check!!

2:54 pm

:-)

2:54 pm

tongue??

2:54 pm

I won't ask. ; )

2:54 pm

from having to bite it too much Soodle?

2:55 pm

Or is it that Spanish Brogue thing?

2:55 pm

good guess Lyn

2:56 pm

anybody want a clue before i go?

2:56 pm

the suspense is killing me.....

2:57 pm

not for me but thanks Glant

2:57 pm

I'm good. ty Glant

2:57 pm

okay - happy babbling - see you tomorrow

2:57 pm

Loads of tongue-biting Hego. I play the dutiful daughter part to Oscar winning standards. I was told by another guest in the hotel that I have one leg in Heaven already!!!!

2:58 pm

lol, not heard that expression before

2:58 pm

lol. i remeber last trip.

2:59 pm

Lol Hego!! Every trip is 'the last trip'....

3:00 pm

: D

3:00 pm

Molls. My email is wonky. I will reply to yours on Thursday, when I get back to work.

3:04 pm

Not in any big hurry to get back to the office, I see. : )

3:05 pm

Hellooooo! PTSD!!!!

3:06 pm

Now I have Hermans Hermits in my head. ♪Mrs. Soodle you have such a dutiful daughter♫

3:08 pm

Before I went on holiday, Son of Soodle presented me with a Kindle!! What an incredible device!! Twas the difference between insanity and....... Emmm worse insanity!

3:09 pm

best thing you can take on a trip.

3:09 pm

Son of Soodle is good to his Ma.

3:09 pm

Better than a man, even!

3:10 pm

And less trouble!

3:10 pm

And you do't get funny looks from TSA agents when they scan your luggage. : P

3:10 pm

I downloaded the entire works ofCharles Dickens &John Irving. Wonderful!

3:11 pm

lol Molls

3:11 pm

wonderful Soodle1

3:11 pm

That is a diverse collection.

3:12 pm

Soodle is very familiar with funny looks!!!!

3:12 pm

hahahaha

3:13 pm

Eclectic is how I choose to describe my literary tastes!!

3:13 pm

*Wonders what a collaboration of Dickens and Irving would sound like*

3:13 pm

mine too Soodle

3:14 pm

Irving was hugely influenced by Dickins!!

3:14 pm

interesting

3:15 pm

I have read a lot by both and did not realize that.

3:16 pm

And, Molls, you are right. Son of Soodle is a great son. He is dyslexic, and books mean nothing to him, but he knows his aged parent is an ac

3:16 pm

Avid reader. Bless him!

3:17 pm

Bye Gals. see you soon.

3:18 pm

"Our Mutual Prayer For Friend Owen Meany" : D

3:18 pm

Bye Hego (((((()))))))

3:19 pm

I got my Kindle from my kids too, for the same reason. Although they read a bit.

3:19 pm

Rofl Molls!'n

3:21 pm

Now that you mention it, Cider House Rules is kind of Dickensian.

3:22 pm

Usually, when on holiday, I read about a book a day. I read, hop in for a swim, get out of the pool & dribble all over the current book. This year, no books were harmed on my holidays!!!

3:23 pm

No Cabana boys to dry you off and wrap you in a soft, terrycloth robe?

3:24 pm

And if you look at any Irving book, you'll see Dickensian similarities..... Irving remains the only author to make me laugh out loud!

3:26 pm

Not even one cabana boy! There was one taxi driver though...........

3:27 pm

And did he "take you to your destination"?

3:30 pm

li must dash, probably won't be back until thursday, happy babbling!

3:30 pm

Good God!! A policeman wouln't ask me that!!!! Kiss nTell is not my style.... (unless I'm getting paid for it, of course)

3:31 pm

Bye Kate. :-)

3:33 pm

Oh yeah. I forgot you like to maintain that chaste, demure image here. *Cough* So I'm sure you two enjoyed attending church services together. *Cough*

3:34 pm

bye soodles ((()))

3:35 pm

This grid seems strangely familiar.

3:36 pm

Lets all hope that poor Molly''s cough improves. Bless you my child!

3:37 pm

Thank you Sister Soodle.

3:37 pm

I'm loving this fun chat....Hey, Soodle, I'm Irish descent and my first grandchild was born on St. Patrick's Day last year!! Clever boy!

3:40 pm

Mimi- clearly the boy is destined for great things!! Irish blood & born on St Patricks Day.....Bless him, great things are in store for him!!!!

3:40 pm

Too bad there's not a "T" where the "E" is---we could be talking about your vacation!!!

3:42 pm

You know why God created whiskey, Soodle? So the Irish wouldn't take over the world. I'll drink to that!

3:45 pm

Golly, Mimi!! Please allow me to introduce you to your 'separated at birth twin' MollyL...Molly, meet Mimi....

3:46 pm

Funny. Must be late where you are, Soodle---night person, h'm? Me, too, mostly.

3:49 pm

Just coming up to 10 pm, and my bedtime. Mimi, twas a pleasure 'meeting' you, i'm surw w

Came back on as uusue posted on caring bridge, Frank has two cancers with microscopic findings on lymph node and spot on bladder. Appears treatment will not change..dang, news not great but they remain hopeful..

4:48 pm

<-----sends warm thoughts and prayers to Frank and Sue :(

4:49 pm

thanks for the update Jilly

4:50 pm

It's really been bugging me, very frustrated with US healthcare system. Here he was symptomatic for weeks without proper care...refused by GI MD appointment due to no insurance...weeks without treatment...totally frustrated!!

4:51 pm

Haven't wanted to say that when uusue was on...

4:52 pm

I know Jilly, I've thought the same thing

4:52 pm

We have all thought the same thing. Very sad state of affairs.

4:53 pm

hopefully if the findings are microscopic the chem will take care of it

4:53 pm

Well, let's throw all that frustration into prayer and positive thoughts!! They'll need our support!

4:54 pm

so true Jilly

4:54 pm

That seems to be what it looks like...no mention of staging the cancers...btw, one is colon the other the small instestine

4:56 pm

New word for the day for me, hw4/9...former currency of south korea

4:56 pm

I have to go, thanks again Jilly for letting us know

4:56 pm

See you later smores...

4:57 pm

5:05 pm

Whoopee! finally got the 7's!

5:09 pm

hi again all!

5:09 pm

Hi uusue...thanks for the update! Sorry to hear the double cancer news..

5:10 pm

the surgeon was astonished, neither he nor the pathologist had ever seen anything like it

5:11 pm

It's one of those things one does not want...to be unique here is not fun...(((hugs))) to you both. But the good news is that he is on the road to treatment and healing!

5:14 pm

yes, the surgeon seemed quite optimistic. We are rather shell-shocked at the moment.

5:15 pm

Can only imagine...had one cancer scare 27 years ago...but thankfully my lung tumor was not cancerous...you both have my heart uusue..

5:17 pm

holding you both in healing light sue. I am sorry to hear this news

5:18 pm

Sue, with all the prayers and good wishes headed your way I am confident that Frank will beat this.

5:19 pm

thank you all - it is quite a shock -

5:33 pm

<-----!!FW!!

5:34 pm

YAY Jilli

5:39 pm

Heading out soon, anyone need clues?

5:41 pm

not yet thanks Jilly. Have agood day

5:46 pm

Thanks bugsaw, you too....*poof*

5:46 pm

ok, I'm back to finish

5:46 pm

only have 6 left

5:47 pm

Jilly, you don't even WANT to know what I'm going through with Social Security. Security? That's a laugh.

5:47 pm

Sue, will keep a positive thought for you and Frank. Lots of good energy coming your way.

5:48 pm

Hi Mimi :)

5:48 pm

Hey there, smores!

5:48 pm

hope no one got your SS #

5:49 pm

{{Sue and Frank}}

5:49 pm

It just takes FOREVER to get approved now. It takes them 4-6 months just to get around to processing the application. This is my THIRD application. I now have a SS lawyer. Also my US Senator, John McCain, is looking into it for me. Hey, couldn't hurt, right?

5:50 pm

wow Mimi, I had no idea it took that long for benefits

5:51 pm

thanks smores and mimi - I am in and out here -

5:51 pm

I thought you were dealing with idenity theft

5:51 pm

The first SS doctor they had me see didn't even take my blood pressure----and I'd had a heart attack! It's just awful and debilitating to have this go on and on. I'm a strong woman but am reaching my limit quickly. No....no one would WANT my identity!

5:52 pm

Hi uu - I thought you had left

5:52 pm

i've heard that it goes pretty quickly once you have a lawyer, mimi

5:53 pm

Hang in there Sue, you guys are going to get through this

5:53 pm

I went to grab some food, smores, but I am back

5:53 pm

I know we are, smores, but why do we have to??? *stamps foot*

5:54 pm

Not so far but we'll see. It's awful to be old, sick and poor. Also, now that my looks are gone I have to settle for being colorful. Sue, I ask myself those questions every day.......

5:54 pm

That is terrible mimi, hopefully the laywer will speed things up

5:55 pm

looks are overrated, mimi, they always go. you can stay colorful forever, though

5:55 pm

:( so sorry sue, wish I knew the answer

5:55 pm

Sue, my best friend of 43 years says we must be paying for being serial killers in a past life!

5:56 pm

Wish I lived closer to you guys---we'd get together for a group hug and lots of alcohol.

5:56 pm

wow Mimi, just wow :)

5:56 pm

lol...

5:57 pm

Smores, I'm actually considering moving back to the Cincinnati area so I might be close to you one day!

5:57 pm

where do you live now Mimi?

5:59 pm

FW!!! last word ha5/20

5:59 pm

Phoenix. A desert both in topography and politics. Stayed here for my kids for 30 years but as they get older I like them less and less so could move away and see them twice a year and be good to go! Kinda want to stay for the grandkids now...just aged 1-1/2 and 2 weeks. Want to spoil them rotten, turn 'em totally against their parents and send 'em home!

6:00 pm

LOL Mimi

6:00 pm

cute, mimi :-)

6:00 pm

Payback huh?

6:01 pm

You bet, smores! I'll also never live long enough to get really good at this game!

6:01 pm

your grandkids are only a few days apart?

6:02 pm

No, they are 1-1/2 yrs. and 2 weeks----brothers. First one was born last year on St. Patrick's Day and the new one was born two days before Halloween last month. The older one already has MY personality, so look out world!

6:02 pm

I'm guessing 1 1/2 years and 2 weeks, smores

6:02 pm

snap, mimi!:-)

6:02 pm

oh, I'm misreading that, you mean a year and half and 2 weeks right?

6:03 pm

lol we were all typing at the same time I guess

6:04 pm

I had my kids in my 30's so they are only 26, nearly 28 and 31 years old even though I am 61. Don't know if they kept me young or aged me prematurely.

6:04 pm

You gotta live long enough to buy them a drum set

6:05 pm

ha, mimi, I am also 61 and my son is 22. so there :-)

6:05 pm

I like the way you think, smores! My job now is not saying no but saying "yes, and don't tell your parents!"

6:05 pm

I also waited until my 30's - just turned 50 this year - 2 teenage girls

6:05 pm

Well, aren't we the spry and smart group? We had a lot of living to do first, right?

6:06 pm

most definately

6:06 pm

yes, I waited until I had tenure :-)

6:06 pm

lol uu

6:06 pm

What month is your birthday, Sue? Tenure--lol. I wanted to raise myself first.

6:07 pm

may

6:07 pm

I just hope I live long enough to become smart again in my children's eyes. May? My birthday is May 14--whoa, this is getting scary!

6:07 pm

may 25, you are older than I am :-)

6:08 pm

Hey, feel like I'm older than dirt these days! Still want to go back to singing in a classic rock band, though. Quit 3 years ago. Tina Turner, look out!

6:08 pm

lol...wondering for a second if you found your lost twin

6:09 pm

We won't leave you out, smores! You're the baby mascot!

6:09 pm

evening all! right column done

6:09 pm

WTG dan woohoo!!!!!!! LOL

6:09 pm

hi dan!

6:10 pm

tx smores - I try to celebrate my small accomplishments :-)

6:11 pm

look out bottom row here he comes!

6:11 pm

lol mimi

6:12 pm

bottom row beaten! :-)

6:12 pm

YAY!!!

6:12 pm

Am frustrated by my lack of prowess at this game so am moving on tonight.....bye all and, Sue, my prayers remain with you.

6:13 pm

don't get discouraged Mimi

6:13 pm

have a wonderful evening :)

6:13 pm

Good think I'm not very competitive! You have a good one, too.

6:14 pm

thanks, hope to chat again soon :)

6:14 pm

Obviously meant good thinG....see, can't even spell when I KNOW the letters! Night!

6:14 pm

night, mimi, and don't worry, not all of us are particularly good at this

6:14 pm

but we are great company :)

6:15 pm

It's worth finding this game just to get to know all of you. Same time, same place tomorrow!

6:15 pm

see ya then {hug}

6:16 pm

I'm gonna have to go also, have a wonderful evening all

6:16 pm

Hi and Bye Smores

6:16 pm

Hi Liz :)

Just read your update Sue - lots of positive thoughts coming your way!

6:17 pm

bye, smores

6:17 pm

and hi liz!

6:18 pm

thanks, liz, it has been a difficult day

6:19 pm

It sounds it - but hopefully things will work out. All any of us can do is be as supportive as possible. I'm sure that all the medics will do their best - as will you and Frank!

6:20 pm

thanks, liz, we do have a lot of confidence in the doctors

6:21 pm

That's good. We just have to rely on them and if you have confidence in those helping you, that's the best.

6:21 pm

Hello all! Just wanted to let you know that I just posted my story in my profile.I'm off again to go eat some dinner.BBL

6:21 pm

7:51 pm

wow this was not the place for me to come to get cheered up apparently

7:51 pm

is there a problem with the grid, i tried entering 'when' and got the message, word does not exist, how come

7:52 pm

7:52 pm

7:53 pm

7:53 pm

np we all find phantoms from time to time

7:53 pm

thanks jmc

7:53 pm

Why are you blue JMC? I'll do my best to cheer you up. Even if it promotes another lecture.

7:54 pm

oh money worries and had a fight with the boy

7:55 pm

Money worries come and go, as do fights with our kids. You know you and the boy are solid.

7:55 pm

Maybe you should go up to the roof deck and moon the neighborhood. : P

7:55 pm

ugh. . . i guess i am just tired of this round lasting so long

7:56 pm

oil company in the grid

7:56 pm

Yes, reminds me of...when one door closes, another door opens, but it's hell in the hall.

7:57 pm

haha this is a really long hall too!

7:57 pm

i was hoping i could at least watch scooby doo on my computer but apparently only 2 of the 6 episodes. . .

7:57 pm

I saw something amusing today. "I danced like no one was watching. My court date is pending."

7:58 pm

haha. . .

7:58 pm

the birthday card i gave the boy had a male dancer in tights and no shoes leaping in the air. . .

7:59 pm

it said: knowing it is your birthday paco wants to dance! dance with paco!

7:59 pm

open the card: paco dances anyway. do not disappoint paco. dance!

8:00 pm

cute card

8:00 pm

: D : D

8:00 pm

i think the name paco was perfect!

8:00 pm

Cos would love that card. His dog's name is Paco.

8:01 pm

did not know that molls

8:02 pm

So did he have a good birthday, before he got argumentative?

8:05 pm

someone said my name?

8:07 pm

Cool, we conjured you. : )

8:07 pm

yes we did. . . my secretary would have said i talked you up

8:07 pm

lol i was just signing on and saw my name and paco's name

8:08 pm

he did have a good birthday. . .friday we had dinner and saturday he had a party and his gf gave him the perfect t-shirt for him

8:08 pm

the argument was tonight when he came by

8:08 pm

That's Paco in his icon, JMC. Isn't he cute?

8:08 pm

i was tell ing molls the birthday card i gave the boy

8:08 pm

he looks like a paco

8:09 pm

ahh nice :)

8:09 pm

Can you tell us what the t-shirt said? Or is it not BC (Babble Correct)? Wouldn't want to promote anymore GBCC (Goodbye Cruel Chat) posts.

8:09 pm

lol molly :)

8:11 pm

it was the ricks college t-shirt that napoleon dynamite wore in the movie

8:12 pm

my son is the great-great-great grandson of the founder of ricks college which is now brigham young u idaho

8:14 pm

Nice gift, good for the girlfriend.

8:14 pm

she was worried but he was so proud he texted a picture of it to me during the babble meet-up

8:14 pm

of which no one has posted any pics :-(

8:15 pm

i sat through 10 pictures and none of them are posted

8:16 pm

I think Peri said hers didn't turn out well. But I would guess someone got a few good ones.

8:16 pm

oh too bad i think she had the only real camera

8:17 pm

the guy checked them when he took them :-(

8:17 pm

Sometimes people are reluctant to post pictures of themselves. With good reason.

8:17 pm

well they all said they would post them. . . and i certainly don't mind

8:18 pm

Some people are...um...slow...to get their pictures uploaded.

8:19 pm

haha ah little molly sunshine!

8:19 pm

And if people are not wanting their pictures posted here, you all should at least share them in email.

8:20 pm

indeed!

8:20 pm

Hego said it was a good lunch.

8:20 pm

it was. . .everyone seemed to have a good time

8:21 pm

you should come sometime. . .you could ride in my ticket me red saab

8:21 pm

I think I would need a sedative, but okay.

8:21 pm

and you can opt out of pictures. . .

8:21 pm

i could promise to drive sedately

8:22 pm

}:-D

8:22 pm

I'm pretty much over the "internet privacy" thing. I have been shown what you can dig up on people and there is no such thing anymore.

8:23 pm

no and i am about to give up and get a easy pass for the tolls. . .big brother is alive and well

8:24 pm

It's creepy what you can find on people. Even by using their "gaming usernames".

8:24 pm

yes you can find all the babble chogs with google. . .

8:25 pm

Oh you can find more than that. Especially when people use their "game name" to identify themselves in other places.

8:26 pm

well my email and game name and my name are so linked i gave up a long time ago

8:26 pm

is there welsh in the grid?

8:27 pm

I have a friend who used to do computer forensics for the police department. After what he has shown me, I know there is no such thing as "internet privacy".

8:27 pm

No Welsh that I am aware of.

8:27 pm

not much of any privacy any more

8:28 pm

That's what your neighbors tell me. : P

8:28 pm

oh i was hopeful that welsh explained why i can't find anymore words

8:28 pm

the french priest or the stock broker?

8:28 pm

Both

8:28 pm

:-P

8:29 pm

And no, gwhn is not a word.

8:29 pm

ah well as long as you stay away from the vegans

8:29 pm

i was thinking gwys

8:30 pm

pigwax is not a word??

8:30 pm

you are confusing it with lard torgie

8:32 pm

Waxing your pig with lard? That's just silly ..

8:32 pm

*palm slap to forehead*

8:33 pm

you never heard of a greased pig?

8:33 pm

Ah here we go, slip sliding into dangerous territory. : P

8:34 pm

Sure, but it's not the same as a waxed pig ..

8:34 pm

how is that dangerous? it was a sport chasing a greased pig

8:34 pm

oil refineries have heavy rubber balls that they roll down pipes to find obstructions that they call pigs. . . wonder if they wax them?

8:35 pm

I guess the wax is more for looks ..

8:35 pm

I guess the wax is more for looks ..

8:35 pm

* I"m too sophisticated to join this conversation *

8:35 pm

well it does wonders for you torgie

8:35 pm

hi ru!

8:36 pm

*Makes room up above for Ru to raise his nose in haughty indignation*

8:37 pm

I'd rather be naughty than haughty

8:37 pm

Swine before pearls?

9:10 pm

I just draw the line at rape, abortion, women's rights and the far right.

9:11 pm

It seems certain factions have made it so polarized that you just can't discuss such things in a civilized way any more ..

9:12 pm

you know i actually felt a little sad (not enough to support him) for murdoch who was trying to express a deep felt belief really inartfully. . . one i disagree with whole heartedly. . .but that i can understand

9:12 pm

side by side with Bill Clinton.. was he holding his pants up?

9:27 pm

Hi Nef, Hi Jes.

9:27 pm

The famous St. Lo5/12 Bunny ..

9:27 pm

well, nef, an yourself?

9:28 pm

Wh**s the princess thing, Molly?

9:28 pm

i have not poofed. . . please explain

9:28 pm

oh crap. PB as soon as I start chatting.

9:28 pm

hi jes. Doing okay (just very tired tonight)

9:28 pm

Hi Molly and jmc

9:29 pm

and torg

9:29 pm

A comment that was made here that didn't go over well. Even though it was all in fun. JMC, think three word term, that ends in Princess.

9:29 pm

ty jes. . .i did not see the bunny when i went to st lo5/12. . .

9:29 pm

ah okay i will meditate on three word terms that end in princess

9:30 pm

Stars with an ethnic word. *Strings JMC along*

9:30 pm

there were 2 of them in a park downtown, somewhere around 10th and Washington, i think?

9:30 pm

oh okay then i was just about to ask about ethnic issues

9:30 pm

In the circles I travel in, that term is used in a joking manner.

9:31 pm

i think it is hyphenated

9:31 pm

a common enough expression in DC and NYC. . . but perhaps not the best choice in a nationwide chog

9:32 pm

Apparently not.

9:32 pm

so I will make you a grand duchess instead. . .

9:32 pm

there is always a work around

9:32 pm

How is your hand, Nef?

9:32 pm

haha all the yiddish i learned in houston shocked the socks off my friends in DC

9:33 pm

okay then i be gone for good now. . .and still remembering nef's hubby on thursday

9:33 pm

*poof*

9:33 pm

sleep sweet, jmc

9:33 pm

very sore tonight Molly, kind of swollen; so guess I overdid it today.

9:36 pm

DH is having spine surgery on Nov 26th, jmc! (he may need some prayers on Thursday if he falls down (cuz I'll be mad at him) or something but I can't remember anything else

9:40 pm

No more over doing it young lady. Be nice to yourself. : )

9:41 pm

hi all, looking for the two first st words ...thx

9:41 pm

Everyone seems to be discombobulated about November dates. I can't tell you how many people have told me that they thought Thanksgiving was two weeks from Thursday instead of a week from Thursday.

9:41 pm

I know, Molly. I'm just so anxious to get through this week that I tried to do too much

9:43 pm

st + stay on the str***ht and narrow and plural

9:44 pm

my new clinic manager is doing so well I'm thinking she may get done with orientation by Thanksgiving. Then I can cut back!

9:44 pm

Nef, you tried to do too much? NO. : ) Maybe you can give it a rest tomorrow to make up for today.

9:44 pm

many thanks!

9:45 pm

I will take it easy tomorrow, Molly. I get my allergy shot and always feel awful those days! ;-)

9:47 pm

Well damn Nef, that is a harsh way to take it easy. Hope you can relax and rest your hand and your shot residuals.

9:48 pm

<---Thinks it's a shame that shots that are "good for you" make you feel bad.

9:49 pm

I figure wh**ever works, right? Seriously, my new nurse is good enough I think I'll just be filling space instead of doing stuff tomorrow

9:50 pm

the shots are better than the alternative if I got stung, Molly

9:51 pm

Understood Nef. It's just too bad that they give you an uncomfortable day.

9:53 pm

It's okay, it's only 1 day, Molly. That's tolerable.

9:55 pm

could I please have a clue for that bottom 4th row S on the right?

9:55 pm

se + word that means pale

9:56 pm

Plural of stitching.

9:57 pm

thanks, Molly! I figure If I get NBT and NBS, I'll go to bed. :-)

9:57 pm

Good plan : )

9:59 pm

so that gave me the NBT, now looking for a 6 and a 7

10:00 pm

For a 6 and a 7...combine sty animal with not in and plural.

10:01 pm

wow. I never even saw the sty animal til you said that! I AM tired I guess!

10:01 pm

♪Lullaby and good night♫ : )

10:02 pm

yep! Good night, and happy babbling to all! :-)

OMG i have to tell u about this one place i looked at today

10:14 pm

*Imagines Cos hanging his Christmas stocking over the fireplace* : )

10:14 pm

Yes?

10:15 pm

As I was looking around, I saw the manager stomp on something really quick and tried to hide it. I looked at her and she smiled at me... later as we left i looked back and it was a cockroach

10:15 pm

yeah needless to say we're not going there lol

10:15 pm

Ewww....

10:15 pm

10:35 pm

10:35 pm

Hi Sue, how are you doing?

10:36 pm

ok, Molly, we had several visitors this evening and that was good.

10:37 pm

Thank you so much MollyL! I try to to be negative, contrary to popular belief by hubby. Chog always makes me happy.

10:37 pm

Glad to hear that your circle of good people is around you. You must be exhausted.

10:38 pm

I am, molly.

10:38 pm

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log

10:38 pm

I concur with Molly.

10:38 pm

I am glad to hear you are still getting visitors. Wish I could.

10:38 pm

I am ok, min. how are you?

10:38 pm

I will continue to think only the best for Frank and for you. I hope you can get some rest tonight.

10:39 pm

Actually meant to say,I try NOT to be negative. Really,I do!

10:39 pm

((((min)))) I would visit you if you weren't 800 miles away - and we still have a date for coffee the next time I visit my dad!

10:39 pm

thanks, molly. Frank is disconnected from everything, so we should run less risk of being awakened by beeping (which took up about 25 minutes in the middle of last night)

10:41 pm

Sue you live in IL right?

10:41 pm

I do, cos

10:41 pm

do you get to cook county often?

10:41 pm

Sue are you staying at the hospital overnight?

10:41 pm

in DeKalb, about 60 miles west of Chicago

10:42 pm

I am, Molly, one of the chairs in the room makes into a single bed

10:42 pm

I was thinking when we visit my parents in Oak Lawn maybe we could have a mini babble meet up

10:42 pm

You are in my thoughts, Minveryork.

10:42 pm

cos, I haven't gotten anywhere lately, but we do get into Chicago every now and then

10:43 pm

Oh, that would be fun, cos! Oak Lawn is on the south side, right?

10:43 pm

yes 30 min drive from the loop

10:43 pm

near midway airport.

10:44 pm

Thank you BabbleRabble!

10:44 pm

looks like it's about an hour and 15 minutes from here, not bad at all

10:44 pm

Well Sue, here is to no beeping and a good nights sleep for you and Frank. Maybe tomorrow night, you two will be in your own bed.

10:44 pm

hear, hear, Molly!

10:44 pm

ok will keep u informed as to when i go

10:45 pm

that would be great! send me a message on Facebook.

10:45 pm

will do

10:46 pm

Windy City meet up for Cos and Sue. More will be revealed. : )

10:47 pm

Babble meet-up at North Halsted :)

10:47 pm

Sue, how is Frank doing with changing the bags?

10:48 pm

he's emptied them a couple of times, BR, but hasn't changed one yet. The ostomy nurse said she'd arrange for home health nurses to help the first couple of times (it's on my list of things to make sure of before we leave)

10:53 pm

way to shut down the chog....

10:54 pm

Sue, I'm sure that both of you will get through all the stuff that seems difficult now. As you know, it's a one step at a time process.

10:54 pm

Indeed. He is already sort of getting used to the ostomy (although it is clearly still an issue)

10:55 pm

Hey, I say he can be as mad about that as he wants to. Some things are just not fair.

10:56 pm

Need to go to bed now,but I will be thinking of uusue2 and Frank and wishing them well as I go to sleep.Goodnight all

10:56 pm

indeed they are not, and mad would be good. He has flashes of anger, and depression, and despair, and denial, and so forth.

10:56 pm

Night, min!

10:57 pm

Be well, Min

10:57 pm

hello

10:57 pm

hi, mlfan!
