Just listening to the one you linked now - couldn't find it on iPad but have it on the computer

2:19 am

Amazing man! Very moving interview!

2:23 am

liz, he was one of my absolute fave authors. such a loss to the literary world.

2:26 am

Haven't read much of his but what I read I enjoyed. Was only introduced to his books last year. A great loss to the literary world.

2:27 am

Another fave of mine (totally different style) also died not so long ago - Anne McCaffrey - wrote science fantasy.

2:29 am

lol, you know you are getting old, when tv, film and literary stars start dieing in your lifetime.

2:29 am

:( You're only as old as you feel (or the person you're feeling!)

2:30 am

Hi Une, not yet..the post offices are closed in my neighborhood. I post to the postman and he said lots of mail is being held.

7:03 am

7:03 am

He said this week the PO will be opening and he will have loads of mail to deliver

7:04 am

:-D

7:04 am

I saw Lincoln yesterday. I loved it. Sally Field was wonderful as was all the actors.

7:05 am

saw it last week with a friend -- I agree -- thought it was absolutely brilliant!!

7:06 am

Annie, a friend of mine who went to see Lincoln said people stood up and applauded at the end. I haven't heard that about a movie in a long time.

7:06 am

Yes, there was applause at the end of the movie. Well deserved.

7:08 am

here as well . . . and the theater was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop through many of the scenes -- people were just riveted by the story and the performances . . .

7:09 am

Yes, here too. very quiet.

7:09 am

It's so nice to hear about a really good movie, as there are so many average/bad ones out there these days.

7:10 am

i agree, Molly . . .

7:10 am

Molly, if you have a chance, go see it.

7:10 am

Happy Saturday everyone

7:16 am

I don't know of anyone who gives more time, devotion and love to animals. It's a sweet thing to read about.

TO, will insurance take care of most of the cost of rebuilding?

remains to be seen, the foundation damage has not been assessed. sadly, i found out that my brother;s bil -did not host the holiday because BOTH ouses had storm damage. they are overwhemled

7:38 am

I can't begin to imagine what they are going through. My thoughts and prayer are with them

and my brother said tere are a lot of retired folks around him near the bay , long tme resdents who had paid off their homes so wer not oblied to carry flood insurance and did not.

7:38 am

so sorry TO

7:39 am

oh no!

7:40 am

may I have the stats for the R in the bottom row please

7:40 am

good afternoon, Babble friends

my bro is getting control so he feels better. the fact that he understands and is capable of doing most ot the work is helping but is bil is dependent upon contrators after demolitaion

7:40 am

(((Sprite))) good afternoon

7:45 am

Hello, sprite and vateach

7:46 am

hi BabbleRabble, am happy to see you!

7:47 am

Are you about done .... been here at least fifteen minutes

7:47 am

*shameful face* Not nearly, even. Can I blame my new meds?

7:47 am

((sprite))

7:48 am

((Crossy))

7:48 am

a plausible explanation

7:48 am

can i blame my old meds?

7:48 am

((mom))

7:48 am

crossy! *hugs*

7:49 am

no I don't think so, crossy... they have to be new to mess up your whole system, I think ;)

7:49 am

Throwing in the towel on this one. ((Hugs)) to all of you. Make it a great day.

7:49 am

but do flashbacks from the 70,s count?

7:49 am

Have a good one, Mom

7:50 am

absolutely. LSD will never die.

7:50 am

thanks, BR. You as well

7:50 am

bye Mom, have a grand day. *hugs*

7:50 am

lol so true

7:50 am

were they trained to count?

7:50 am

but i am comfortable in my insanity now

7:50 am

((Sprite)) I will, thanks. You too

7:50 am

Bye Mom - have a great day :)

7:51 am

if it was good enough for timothy leery,it was good enough for me

7:51 am

lol...crossy

7:51 am

when LSD flashbacks count, they do it randomly

7:51 am

lol crossy!

7:52 am

they do indee...SPIDER!!...ok,it is gone now

7:52 am

Morning and evening, all!!!

7:52 am

but why was it wearing a bowler hat?

7:52 am

howdy mimi?

7:52 am

lol...are you sure it was really there crossy?

7:52 am

LSD: Lumpy Skin Disease

7:52 am

{Mimi} morning to ya

7:53 am

lol...BR

7:53 am

indeed smores.it asked me when fry ups would be ready and left on a bus

7:53 am

lol BabbleRabble!

7:53 am

{{smores}}

7:53 am

hi Mimi :)

7:53 am

Hi, sprite!

7:54 am

I was scared to try LSD in the 60's---my head is scary enough already all by itself!!!

7:55 am

very wise, Mimi. I am very happy I never used it. Not sure I could convince anyone of any lingering saneness if I had.

7:56 am

Wish I had been scared...wouldve saved some major problems

7:56 am

*hugs smores*

7:56 am

.....and some brain cells...lol

7:56 am

Besides, I lived in a very rural area then and didn't even know until years later that some of my classmates were smoking grass.....late bloomer.

7:56 am

nothing wrong with blooming later on

7:57 am

BabbleRabble: interesting profile text today. And true, I think.

7:57 am

Except when it came to sex----hit that one head-on (pardon the expression) at 15!!!

7:57 am

Hate it when the bloomers do not show up on time

7:57 am

Yeah, but when we do it's worth the wait!!!

7:57 am

BRB gotta fix my daughter some breakfast

7:57 am

I hope it was good, Mimi, and worth it :)

7:58 am

lol...Mimi...BR

7:58 am

Bye dear smores....hugs and more hugs.

7:58 am

ye4, we can schedule what we want, but do they listen, BabbleRabble? Never!

7:58 am

that's what scares me, I have 13 and 15 yo girls

7:58 am

see you in a little bit then, smores :) I'll be here, I guess.

7:59 am

I was lucky, sprite....it was fabulous and the right thing for me. Set a positive tone for the rest of my sex life.

7:59 am

teach them, smores. That is all you can do. Make sure they know about contraceptives and responsibility, and also about the feelings and urges.

7:59 am

wtg Mimi! That is wonderful.

8:00 am

Smores, I was very responsible. We charted my days of the month and were careful. Taught my daughter to respect herself and to be responsible. She was still a virgin at 18. So were my boys....I know because I was very close to them and they told me everything....yes, everything.

8:02 am

Believe it or not, I'm still friends with my first love.

8:02 am

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkaKwXd\ndT_I

8:02 am

my son was very early with it as well. Had been going steady with his girl for over a year. It was bound to happen and I am glad it happened safely indoors, in their own bed, relaxed and without fear. I think my girl will wait longer.

8:02 am

oh that is so sweet, Mimi.

8:03 am

I told them it was their decision, told them when I made that decision, and asked that they simply let me know before hand so I could make sure they were safe.

8:04 am

As I've said before, the only bad thing about teaching your kids to think for themselves is that it comes back to bite you in the butt later!!

8:05 am

we offered to make sure there were condoms in the house and at first were told there was no need, they were not re5 for it. And then half a year later my son told me it would be nice to have some handy... it might become necessary. I still think that was so wise and beautiful of them.

8:05 am

lol Mimi, yes it does. But it is ok too... it is nice to know they can speak and think for themselves.

8:05 am

Actually, sprite, I'm still friends with several of my exes. Hey, when I love you, you STAY loved!! I've always felt it was good to keep them as friends so I wouldn't lose all the things I loved about them in the first place just because our romantic relationship ended.

8:07 am

My eldest son was a late bloomer in that area so when he wasn't dating or seeming interested in girls, I sat him down and said "You know I love you no matter what so if you have an alternate lifestyle..." to which he interrupted and said "No, Mom I'm not gay." Funny.

8:07 am

I love that, Mimi. I am the same, I cannot stop loving. My only 'real' ex has popped up a couple of times later on in my life, but he couldn't cope.

8:08 am

morning all!

8:08 am

The guy I would have married had not met my (now ex) husband called me for 2 years wanting me to change my mind....we are now friends. It would appear I made the wrong decision there.........

8:08 am

lol Mimi

8:08 am

hi dan!

8:09 am

Hi ya, Dan!

8:09 am

Hi guys, always told my son he could be gay so long as he gave me a grandchild!

8:09 am

morning all! sprite...love the icon!!

8:09 am

the road not taken, Mimi? Nah, every experience is worth having. It made you you.

8:11 am

One thing I'm very proud of is that none of my kids will stand for bashing of any kind. If someone tries that around them, they'll speak out and/or leave the room.

8:11 am

hi littlebit! Thank you :)

8:11 am

hi xeiluj. lol!

8:11 am

awesome, Mimi

8:11 am

Hiya, the kick in the butt for me is his girlfriend doesnt' want kids.Arhhh

8:12 am

Yes, sprite, I know, but I paid a very high price for making that wrong decision.....but my ex and I are close now.

8:12 am

ouch xeiluj

8:12 am

*hugs Mimi* You are beautiful. Job well done there.

8:13 am

He is only 25, I can stlll hope! lol

8:13 am

my son is 18 and has a real close friendship with a lovely young girl his age it never seems to develop into anything different and has the benefit of her keeping all the baaad girls away from my son lol

8:13 am

My daughter doesn't think she'll have any kids and that's OK. I don't think people should have kids unless they absolutely cannot imagine life without them. Too many have them that should not.

8:13 am

Thanks, sprite.

8:13 am

decisions like that can change, xeiluj, it is true. But even then, nobody can guarantee kids will be born.

8:13 am

new profile pic is miss2bit and her cousin, 6 months younger

8:14 am

awww dan, so very beautiful are they!

8:15 am

new cousin (grandchild #6) on the way in March - they are quite the cohort now

8:16 am

ty sprite, they play pretty well together (for now)

8:16 am

lovely, dan. You must feel rich :)

8:17 am

we do! also takes some of the pressure off to produce a sibling :-)

8:17 am

Only joke with him, we both work with kids so maybe he has enough of them in hte day. Ishare my sisters two girls so i don't miss out .

8:17 am

absolutely. cousins are almost just as good.

8:18 am

sounds good, xeiluj. Best of both worlds.

8:18 am

Maybe even better....you don't have to live with them and can send 'em home.

8:19 am

even more blessed because we can all gather on occasion - everybody is in DC area

8:19 am

Both girls want to come live with me if heaven forbid, something happens to their mum so i must be doing something right

8:20 am

may you never have to, xeiluj. But yes, very good sign.

8:21 am

I am older than her so i think we are pretty safe but thanks sprite

8:22 am

I have a godson who calls me Mommy 2. His mother has been my best friend for 43 years.

8:22 am

I wonder how many who are contemplating becoming parents have read something like this: http://tinyurl.com/c7e2mw7

8:23 am

That is so lovey Mim.

8:24 am

She knows EVERYTHING about me and loves me anyway!!! So thankful for her and for her son.

8:24 am

not sure, but I think many of them, BabbleRabble. I know we re4 about everything there was and we tried to make the pregnancy as healthy as possible for the lil' un.

8:25 am

BR - I've seen that premise put forth. I think general nutrition (& therefor fetal nutrition & early child nutrition) is more important than anybody realizes, but I'm not sure it's "the most consequential 9 months of our lives"

8:25 am

we all eat better as a family since miss2bit showed up though :-)

8:26 am

phantom: temerity

8:26 am

hi hursh, yes indeed

8:26 am

Wanted to raise myself first, so didn't have kids until my 30's. They were meant to be since they had to pole vault, swim through muck and run an obstacle course just to be conceived!!!

8:27 am

yay Mimi :D

8:28 am

and I do think that pregnancy makes lots of moms (and dads) feel out of control, so some of us (ahem) may have gone a little to the other extreme on diet &c

8:29 am

They got through every birth control device known to man. My sister-in-law was having trouble getting pregnant and asked for "pointers." I told her "Just try NOT to get pregnant---always works for me!" I didn't even want to wash my husband's pants during the middle of my cycle---was afraid they'd migrate.

8:29 am

Dan, to me, being pregnant is like being POSSESSED!!!

8:29 am

lollll Mimi!

8:30 am

lol,good thing you get the big belly so we can tell the difference between possesions lol

8:30 am

I agree. At a certain point I started to feel like I had rent out a room and wasn't able to regain it, grin.

8:30 am

crossy runs...

8:30 am

And me, my husband ran away from me once and jumped over a brick wall!!

8:30 am

run crossy run

8:30 am

bad crossy, grin

8:31 am

I spend a lot of time at a mental health site. The point of the article is that much of what a child experiences because of genetics and child rearing is almost impossible to change.

8:31 am

when my mrs was 7 months along ,i moved to the basement to make a crib from scratch and did not come up for air till she was 8cm dialate lol

8:32 am

When I was in labor with my third, the nurse told me my blood pressure was going down instead of up and I said that's because this is the part I like....would do anything just to get them OUT.

8:32 am

that is so true, BabbleRabble. I still fight daily with that truth. It is so much inner core you cannot really change it, just... nudge it a bit in a better direction, I guess.

8:32 am

silly crossy :D :D

8:33 am

BR, I always thought it was nurture rather than nature until I met my biological mother at age 22 and was EXACTLY like her....those genes are powerful.

8:33 am

hello

8:33 am

Hi, MLFAN!!

8:34 am

in dutch we had a movement called 'Baas in eigen buik' = Boss in own belly, women who wanted to be the ones to decide whether or not to become pregnant or have an abortion. I have felt I wasn't boss in my own belly for most of both pregnancies, lol.

8:34 am

hi mimi

8:34 am

hello mlfan

8:34 am

i am not liking this grid so far

8:34 am

Good day to all.

8:34 am

i look at my son now(lazy teenage angst filled slug) and it amazes me that once upon a time he won a race to an egg with 5 million entrants ;)

8:35 am

hi Scrabs! :)

8:35 am

Hi ya Scrab!!

8:35 am

howdy scwabby

8:35 am

keep faith, crossy, you will be so proud of him in a few years ;)

8:35 am

can i have the stats for the corner E please?

8:35 am

Ahh, crossy, soon enough you will know why he won the race

8:35 am

He, like all of us, is a work in progress.

8:36 am

Hello again, my kid is now happily eating choc chip pancakes

8:36 am

true, Scrabs. I am far from finished, that is for sure.

8:36 am

I'm convinced somehow someone took the kids I originally had and replaced them with these adults. In some ways, they haven't changed for the better.

8:36 am

he is so lazy sprite,that when he graduates this year he just wanted to have them mail the diploma to him as he thinks the official ceremonies are "lame" and "old skool"

8:36 am

{{smores}}

8:36 am

hello, babblers

8:36 am

who wouldn't, smores, lol. Can I come along?

8:36 am

Good morning all

8:36 am

hahaha crossy... sounds like a teenager to me.

8:37 am

hi welki :)

8:37 am

and hi Mr Bob

8:37 am

?

8:37 am

lol..crossy

8:37 am

Hi Bob

8:37 am

HiyaMr Bob

8:37 am

Hi to welki and Bob.

8:37 am

Work in progress is a great generalization .... I just wish I did not have to plant a stake to let me know if I am gaining

8:38 am

ey4/6 and 5/14

8:38 am

ey4/6 ml

8:38 am

ty smores

8:38 am

just me very careful where you plant it, BabbleRabble. Not anywhere IN you, mind!

8:38 am

duhh babblet ty smores

8:38 am

Nice clues, sprite

8:38 am

and sprite

8:39 am

lol...thank sprite...she has 'em both

8:39 am

sprite, you must not have hated the k too much today

8:39 am

thanks BabbleRabble ;) yvw mlfan

8:39 am

I didn't, hursh... so little I didn't even complain about it :)

8:39 am

Often our own thoughts are are worst enemies. I read a wonderful book over a year ago that taught me to merely observe my thoughts rather than believe they are true. "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer.

8:40 am

Good day, hursh

8:40 am

good day

8:40 am

*writing that one down* Thanks Scrabs, that is one of the things I am working on right now!

8:40 am

Hi Hurshy

8:40 am

can i have the statas for the third column bottom R please?

8:40 am

stats

8:41 am

Oh, yeah, Scrab. I try not to spend too much time in my own head....gets gnarly in there. I can visit but don't want to live there.

8:41 am

re6/21

8:41 am

Why is it that those thoughts come the most in hte middle of the nght?

8:41 am

got it ty hursh

8:42 am

crossy, found an epub of it... want a copy?

8:42 am

I certainly live in my head a lot, as I have found my imaginary life far more enjoyable than reality, but I also like to zoom out and observe what the elctrical activity in my brain produces.

8:42 am

Because they catch you off guard...sneaky little buggers.

8:42 am

4th column 2nd E stats please?

8:42 am

xeiluj: because of many reasons. The middle of the night is the least 'rational' time of day for us. We are close to our fears and dreams then.

8:43 am

cognitive distortions; negative chatter; defense mechanisms and cognitive polyphasia are plagues for me

8:43 am

Our Worry Voice talks in a loud voice and it lies a lot.

8:43 am

They often hit me while I'm asleep and there have been times I actually wake up crying....hate when that happens.

8:43 am

Same for me, BR, so the battle goes on.

8:43 am

er7/32

8:43 am

ee4/6 MLF

8:43 am

same here, BabbleRabble. The continuing saga...

8:43 am

Sorry. Smores is correct.

8:44 am

smores is that the 2nd E?

8:44 am

epub of what sprite?

8:44 am

the book Scrabs just mentioned. The untethered soul, by Singer

8:44 am

is it a word i should know?

8:45 am

Ends with tiny bug

8:46 am

Found it, TY

8:46 am

Do you ever find yourself in a dream that you know is dream but you can't wake yourself up?

8:46 am

Should say nightmare

8:46 am

hi all!

8:46 am

hi scrambler

8:46 am

got it ty

8:46 am

feelings of being trapped

8:46 am

nbs

8:47 am

Yes, but lucid dreaming is fun. I can be the director of the dream.

8:47 am

Hi Scrambler

8:47 am

Two of my favorite articles: http://tinyurl.com/8u5e3ct

8:47 am

Yep, x---sometimes don't want them to end. Mine tend to be very obscure, though, and I often can't decipher them.

8:47 am

ty,sounds interesting but no.i am quite comfortable with my mind and its thought.i keep things in their own spaces and do everything in triage manner that way i am never worrying about dozens of things at once.i find one thing,deal with it,then remove it from my mental desk and move on.life for me is too short to be worrying endless knots of some life tapestry in the belief that i can wrap it all up in a neat little bundle and control it.i just go with the flow now,and live,and smile,and make lemonade

8:47 am

hi scrabble!

8:47 am

yes, xeiluj, quite often. It is possible to train yourself to take control of that kind of dream. Might be worth to try.

8:48 am

Scrabbler, it's like Bigwig or Fiver in Watership Down!

8:48 am

ok crossy :)

8:48 am

8:49 am

lol,hailing like a bugger here atm.no cat in his right mind wants to be outside today

8:49 am

8:49 am

Happy Saturday, Babblers!

8:49 am

There is a Siamese cat in the neighborhood. He visits me daily and I feed him. He has stunning blue eyes so I named him Blue.

8:49 am

8:52 am

Do you sew regularly to make extra money?

8:52 am

the re5/10 is what things I grew up with are now considered...lol

8:52 am

I am making an abominable snowman costume for a HUGE kid, and it's really funny. My toothpick skinny kids have all had a go at trying it on

8:52 am

not regularly enough, but yes, scrabbler

8:52 am

need stats for the 8 please

8:55 am

don't know yet, sorry

8:55 am

we had a house bunny and a house cat at the same time, and all was very well, scrabbler.

8:55 am

ok4 hursh

8:55 am

likely if you got a kitten and it grew up around bunnies they would be friends. an adult cat would be baaad news for bunnies.

8:55 am

dog + bunny, however, = NO

8:55 am

re8/45.

8:55 am

thanks, :3 juniper, isis, cleopatra

8:56 am

could it be the western movie you need, hurshy? Not on list, so am not sure

8:56 am

oh thanks bzz

8:56 am

our "kitten" is now 9 months old and lord of the manor he is super alpha male and our other 2 older cats are not happy about it,so what we do is leash him and he instantly goes from stealty alpha jungle predator to a dangle toy for the other cats to chase around the house and try to catch the leash;))

8:56 am

I have friends with dog + bunny, cat + bunny, and even tortoise + bunny--all with great relationships.

8:56 am

awe!

8:56 am

Scrab, if you get a kitten very young and raise it with the bunnies, they'll most likely be fine. I've raised wild combos of animals together with no problem. Actually, my cats were afraid of my birds and rats (yes, rats).

8:57 am

retort

8:57 am

yes mimicat, my calico nursed a baby bunny and i think they(the other kitties) didn't recognize it as a bunny

8:58 am

my previous dog ate bunnies ;(

8:58 am

My friend's huge dog greatly respected their rabbit.

8:58 am

we are using hav-a-hart traps to try to catch a marsh rice rat that has nested in our boat - what bait do you suggest, Mimi?

8:58 am

but he was great with my cats

8:58 am

Smores, there's got to be one psycho pet in the bunch!

8:58 am

hmm... that bottom A is tough

8:58 am

i have ad5, ae4 and 5 ...

8:59 am

ad5, ad6 & 7

8:59 am

*friend on phone, crying about her 25 yr old daughter that refuses to grow up*

8:59 am

Couldn't really blame him, he was a wolf hybrid and definately an alpha male

8:59 am

Aloy, peanut butter works well--takes awhile to eat it and they can't remove it from the spot so there's time to catch them.

8:59 am

best bait is a bit of raw bacon or a smear of peanut butter

8:59 am

i won't grow up... i don't wanna wear a tie...

8:59 am

Just following his instincts

9:00 am

oh, good... I smeared some peanut butter on some carrot chunks.. no luck yet

9:00 am

9:00 am

9:00 am

9:13 am

sorry crossy.. have some neufchatel tho.. passing plate of hot onion bagels..

9:14 am

Does one simply core an onion for an onion bagel?

What a word, smores! What on earth does it mean? I'm too lazy to look it up.

9:18 am

ah, ty smores, was looking for ant, lol.. found the other insect

9:19 am

9:19 am

hermit or recluse

9:19 am

too bad, arroyo has two r's

9:29 am

nice try though

9:30 am

A question or more for those so inclined: Does the mind control the brain or vice versa? Or neither? Where is the mind located?

9:30 am

yes, it would have gone nicely with the ya5

9:30 am

oh, fish slap... it is the big blood vessel!

9:31 am

hmmmm.....pondering....BR

9:32 am

hello again

9:32 am

I'd say the brain is just an organ, like the rest of them. When that organ is damaged, the mind may be too, so physically, the mind should live in the brain. Not sure about control, though.

9:32 am

studied neuroscience for a while, BR.. no clue, but my hunch is that the mind is all of the brain, so the answer is in physics.. maybe uusue knows

9:32 am

hi ruby :)

9:32 am

94 this AM but no 8 or right-hand bottom e!

9:32 am

{{spirte}}

9:32 am

energy related, and what is energy?

9:33 am

ruby! hi!

9:33 am

the bottom E is an elaborate spelling of the recluse, ruby

9:34 am

the 8 is an RE word... style gone out of fashion relived + what someone does on a stage.

9:34 am

got it, ty

9:34 am

hello aloy!

9:34 am

and BR, waxing philosophical as usual. You and my husband would be great riends! lol

9:35 am

{Ruby} Hi!!

9:35 am

{{smores}}

9:35 am

Recent studies indicate glia cells are more important in the transfer of information than originally thought

9:36 am

ty sprite, that gave me several words

9:36 am

yes, indeed

9:36 am

and what's tardis?

9:36 am

my psychiatrist always says they don't know the first thing about how the brain works yet, and how it impacts on the rest of our body.

9:36 am

yvw ruby :)

9:36 am

a fictional time machine

9:36 am

tardis? A telephone booth that travels the universe through time and space... dr Who's car.

9:36 am

it is a very british time travel machine from a old sci fi series ruby..i bet it coomes with tea and scones;))

9:37 am

{{crossy}}

9:37 am

((ruby))

9:37 am

a tea room opened in the next village -- an Englishwoman and her Fr husband and they serve SCONES

9:37 am

i used to watch the original series years ago when it used to brodcast on our public television network

9:38 am

Many breakthroughs have been made in recent studies of the brain

9:38 am

me too, crossy

9:38 am

oh nice, ruby :) I hope they are good.

9:39 am

well,it was either dr who or coronation street:((

9:39 am

how nice Ruby, it that the village you normally shop at?

9:39 am

Some indicate the brain has the ability to make decisions for us before we actually decide

9:39 am

actually, they serve lunch and we've only gone there for that so far

9:40 am

<-- doesn't shopt -- husband does that

9:40 am

(or typet lol)

9:40 am

actually in the sense of consciously

9:40 am

I have to go, am sorry. Foggy brain cannot keep up with either chat nor puzzle. Guess bed is in order. I really hope these side effects won't take long to disappear. Bye all, thanks for being there. *hugs*

9:40 am

sleep is so important..

9:40 am

{{big hug, sprite}}

9:40 am

Sorry, sprite. Hope you are better soon.

11:11 am

Hello all!

11:12 am

Hi Jill

11:12 am

The snowplow just growled by. The bunnies are safe and warm inside although we lost our power for 3 hrs last evening.

11:13 am

Hi Scrabs, snowstorm?

11:14 am

... not a pleasant thought ... we just had a sprinkle on the ground this morning which is gone now .. ... but it's cold ... ... drop of 14 degrees C ... (25 degrees F) from yesterday ... and the wind is blowing ... not a day to be outside

11:14 am

Yes, "lake effect snow advisory" began last night and continues through this evening.

11:14 am

We already had a storm earlier this month, a week after the hurricane

11:15 am

We had snow and cold, but now has warmed and only snow in mountains. I can live with that..

11:15 am

Yes, I recall.

11:15 am

... don't get much lake effect stuff on the north side of the lake ... but I'll bet crossy is working hard with a shovel

11:16 am

Slam me with a cod. I just saw the K word. Duh.

11:16 am

... always tough to find the easy words

11:16 am

it was flying high in the sky

11:16 am

How are Marco and Polo?

11:17 am

11:17 am

Great. You heard about Watson, our foster dog?

11:17 am

Phantom: emetic

11:17 am

No! A foster dog?

11:18 am

Yes, he's a Shih Tzu. Was found starving and very sick. We have him until he fattens up and regains his health. Then off to a forever home. He's a darling

11:18 am

Laptop battery will die soon, so I may disappear.

11:19 am

What a lucky dog to be rescued!

11:19 am

Nice to see you again scrabs (just in case)...

11:19 am

Yes, his coat was so matted it covered his eys and he couldn't see

11:19 am

Their fluffy heads would block the screen

11:34 am

ty Molly. Now I have NBT

11:35 am

the reason i ask is a telemarketer who is annoying me....

11:35 am

harpjane: say "I the maid, not speak English"

11:35 am

It's hard to explain in non geek terms Jane. Do a Google search on it.

11:35 am

lol

11:36 am

when they call here I say, "I"m sorry, I don't speak French"

11:36 am

he thinks if he tells me my csid number that I will believe him....

11:36 am

my computer is dangerously infected and he wants to help me....lol

11:36 am

tell him to go away harp

11:37 am

i'll let him figure that out on his own. when the phone starts beeping i will hang it up.

11:37 am

... he's probably the one who infected it ...

11:37 am

In case you haven't figured it out, it's a scam. A computer clsid is an identifier number

11:37 am

... how'd he figure you're machine is infected anyways? ... I never trust them

11:37 am

so why would he know it?

11:37 am

he has my address as a place i lived 14 years ago

11:37 am

I got hacked on Thanksgiving. Be very careful harp.

11:38 am

He doesn't and he hopes you don't either.

11:38 am

that is scary!

11:38 am

he's trying to get your password and hack into your computer likely

11:38 am

... exactly ..

11:38 am

and dangerous\

11:38 am

Agree with all the chog posts

11:39 am

This is why I don't answer the phone. Answering machines are beautiful things.

11:39 am

well ANYONE could get my name and address off the Internet, but the fact that he got my 1997 address is mildly amusing.

11:39 am

no wonder it keeps ringing when I call you, molly, lol

11:39 am

This is why I quit all the FB games, I will only use https sites and when I was hacked it didn't go anywhere-well, I had to change all my passwords

11:40 am

is it really that easy to get people's names and addresses?

11:40 am

how about this scenario--it's NOT infected?

11:40 am

It will be if he gets in...

11:40 am

you can google a phone number and get whatever info is in the phone book

11:40 am

... the phone book has been on-line for twenty years

11:41 am

well if he's looking for a computer on south second (which he called "ESS SECOND") it won't be mine.

11:41 am

happily, I don't use my husband's name (name in the phone book)

11:41 am

... when asked for a password I usually give them ... n-o-t-l-i-k-e-l-y and hang up ...

11:41 am

i tell them my username is youlie

11:41 am

You are smart Jilly. People don't realize how "out there" you are when hooked up with Facebook games.

11:41 am

very funny, dose

11:42 am

and my password is youlose

11:42 am

... that one will do too ...

11:42 am

MIne might not be so 'clean'!!

11:43 am

<---going through life avoiding the FB thing

11:43 am

good night everybody

11:43 am

what are the stats for the lone e?

11:43 am

It's highly over rated Ru.

11:43 am

... bon nuit ...

11:43 am

<-- thinking up nasty passwords.....

11:43 am

er7

11:44 am

... ah yes ... thanks for that one

11:44 am

and for the lone r?

11:44 am

I liked FB at first, but now just use it for lexulous and for seeing where my son's band is playing

11:45 am

Ruby, I only have an account to see family pictures that family members are too lazy to email anymore.

11:45 am

... a person who looks at books

11:46 am

I've "unfriended" all the people who post what they did today

11:46 am

thanks thanks

11:46 am

*poof*

11:47 am

How about all the people who copy and past quotes and pictures that have been going around the internet for ten years?

11:47 am

Um, was just on FB..what posts ruby?

11:47 am

... I had to get off it ... too many kids from school were being too nosy ...

11:48 am

Jilly she meant posts like "Today, I got a latte at Starbucks" (as in what they did today)

11:48 am

*duh* I spend most of my time ignoring things.

11:49 am

nbt nbs and off to SKI for the first time

11:49 am

Yay harp!

11:49 am

jilly you should read my post about yesterday though, i need some sympathy

11:50 am

It's sad when people post something in hopes of sympathy and people are too lazy to do anything but "like" it.

11:51 am

*heads out to check*

11:51 am

ah, now i feel like a dufus....

11:52 am

i had a conversation yesterday with a stranger yesterday (for whom I was doing a favor) and he felt it would be appropriate to vent a bunch of racist crap about our President.

11:52 am

Why Jane? I don't think there was anything wrong with your post. I just don't understand why people can't take the time to respond with words.

11:52 am

(while he was applying for a low income energy assistance program...)

11:52 am

I don't see any of that...just a timeline photo change

11:53 am

so far nobodys even indicated that they saw my post....

11:53 am

I don't know why people think it's appropriate to say things like that. Especially to a complete stranger.

11:53 am

just tagged you jill

11:54 am

)k4/10

11:54 am

OK4/10 loil

11:55 am

It's the disconnect of complaining about the president while telling a stranger about why they can't afford to go to the doctor, and applying for government assistance. all the while saying how lazy blacks are.....

11:56 am

Didn't get the tag either...back to babbling for now

11:56 am

did you ignore me, perhaps?

11:56 am

or block anything about politics? lol

11:57 am

racists don't have to say much to prove how small-minded they are

11:57 am

I actually haven't ignored anyone...I just skip their posts and you would NEVER be blocked..

11:57 am

Wonder if the other person limited who sees it?

11:57 am

<---I'd block everyone :D

11:57 am

You can always print it out and bring to me at practice..

11:57 am

no the other person was a stranger...

11:59 am

Strange??

11:59 am

someone i did not know, never told him my name, and he did not know mine....

12:00 pm

If it got really bad then FB may have filtered it.?

12:01 pm

Would Facebook delete something with derogatory remarks about The President?

12:02 pm

If so, I hope they would at least notify the person who posted it.

12:02 pm

or the secret service

12:03 pm

Ooo, I hope spooks don't come knocking on Jane's door. : O

12:04 pm

in some circles that'd be a racist comment :D

12:05 pm

To clarify, "spooks" is another name for CIA agents.

12:06 pm

Well, am halfway...bbl time to get out of my comfy jammies... *poof*

12:06 pm

*Waits for the self-appointed Babble Police to come swooping in*

12:06 pm

*peeks in at JIlly*

12:07 pm

I need to get going too, my nephew texted that he is on the way and that give me an hour to get out of my jammies and into my ski clothes.

12:07 pm

I need to get going too, my nephew texted that he is on the way and that give me an hour to get out of my jammies and into my ski clothes.

12:12 pm

*I wonder if Babble Police have Squad Cars*

12:13 pm

maybe they call them Squeg cars

12:14 pm

I never get involved in the conversations, especially political ones, but I have to speak up concerning where our wonderful country is headed...can you believe that many of us feel it is headed in the wrong direction and that the present leadership is continuing down that road....our constitution guarantees all of us certain rights and when a president persists in making people go against their conscious and religious convictions such as enforcing abortion on churches, religious colleges, hospitals and so far it is going to far. Already the white house is forcing a Christian publisher, some Christian colleges and hospitals to do what goes against every part of their fiber and that is wrong.So now we will discriminate against those who hold a different view or conviction and force people to go against their constitutional rights and that is wrong.

12:16 pm

however, any political party that consists of leaders who deny science will destroy the country much faster and permanently

12:16 pm

nuff said from me....I don't want to anger anyone

12:16 pm

Agreed jeff

12:17 pm

:)

12:17 pm

Yes, I believe many people feel the country is headed in the wrong direction. Maybe not for the same reasons, but I know why people are not happy with things as they are.

12:17 pm

That is not the issue...it is all of us have rights and the rigth to disagree and still respect each other even if wedo not agree.

12:17 pm

stats for the 8 pls

12:17 pm

people who disagree with you have rights too.

12:17 pm

re 8/45

LOL, not doing bad on this one..permission to nap ;)

2:02 pm

hi again all!

2:03 pm

Hello there uusue!

2:03 pm

hi Jill!

hello sue, how is it going?

2:05 pm

Hope things are "going" well uusue..

2:05 pm

pretty good, TO, at last we are home!

2:05 pm

and yes, the "going" is good

2:05 pm

How about the appetite?

2:06 pm

I am slightly worried about his incisions - they are redder than I would like and still draining - but I talked to the surgeon on call and we will continue to watch them, he is on antibiotics

2:06 pm

appetite is good too

nice. is he walking?

2:08 pm

I would suggest lightly marking the red edges with a permanent marker to be able to accurately monitor increased readness. Also, checking for other things like temperature (especially in the evening) and if there is any increased pain.

2:08 pm

a little, not as much since he got home as he was in the hospital

2:08 pm

*redness

2:08 pm

the edges are already marked but I think it's spread along the incision (marks - by surgeon - are only on one half)

2:09 pm

and I seem to remember that they had receded but now they are back to the marks again

2:09 pm

temp is normal but I am watching that too, he is still in pain but it doesn't seem to be getting worse

2:10 pm

good job!

2:10 pm

Jill, do you think I should look again this evening (everything is under bandages) or should I wait until morning?

2:11 pm

I only unwrapped him around 1 pm today, these were put on by the on-call surgeon Thursday afternoon

2:11 pm

(I know you can't give real advice, just looking for suggestions - probably I will check late this evening in any case)

2:12 pm

Morning will be fine. And temps usually spike around bedtime

2:14 pm

ok, will check then, thanks!!

2:14 pm

he'll be happier the less often I mess with things...

2:15 pm

yvw...he's actually correct; the less chance of irritating the wound.

2:15 pm

ah, good point.

2:16 pm

meanwhile, back in the grid, I am having trouble with the lone r on the bottom row...

2:17 pm

One who looks at a book

2:18 pm

And they do tend to become a little more irritated the longer the staples are kept in...is there any drainage?

2:18 pm

ah, thanks, molly!!

2:18 pm

(Sorry to interrupt the nursie talk)

2:18 pm

there was quite a lot of drainage from one of them, Jill, ran down his side when I took the dressing of

2:19 pm

*warns viewers on following post*

2:19 pm

What does it look like?

2:20 pm

clear pinkish yellow

2:20 pm

I told the surgeon and she didn't seem to think it was an immediate emergency

2:20 pm

any foul odor?

2:21 pm

no, and I checked

2:22 pm

"Serous" drainage is common...just bears watching.

2:23 pm

yes, and I will keep a close eye on it

I'm missing a re 5/16 by the color again one. can I get a clue? It's before the send out again 6

2:23 pm

And it'll do him well to keep in tune with what his body is telling him...now and in the future.

2:24 pm

indeed, Jill, and thanks!!

2:24 pm

back to the grid...

2:24 pm

there is a 5/16 to decrease wetness again

2:24 pm

its before the color one

yep that's it. thanks!

2:25 pm

thanks for all the words! and hi gramma, sorry for all the medical talk!

2:25 pm

And uusue, you can message me anytime on FB or by text if you still have my phone #

2:26 pm

will do, thanks!!

2:26 pm

Listing at 30..whew!

2:28 pm

ta4/5...great, now I'm hungry!

2:29 pm

<--- loves Mexican food

2:30 pm

<----turkey ta4/5s?

2:34 pm

any flavor is fine :-)

2:34 pm

I have so much turkey left...

2:37 pm

I freeze my leftover turkey in "meal size" containers. Then I have it for soup and casseroles later on.

2:37 pm

some friends of ours brought over a whole Thanksgiving dinner yesterday - I am giving Frank the turkey, mashed potatoes, and jellied cranberry, and am eating the stuffing, pumpkin pie, peas, and chopped cranberry (also the dinner rolls). We've gotten two meals out of it so far, with at least one more to go

2:38 pm

What? You don't get any turkey?

2:38 pm

Will make TV dinners, eat some more, freeze what's left, boil the carcass and DONE!

2:39 pm

That's wonderful uusue!

2:39 pm

I am choosing to give it to him (I haven't told him he's getting it all) - it's gluten free and he needs the protein. And I get the dressing and the pie :-)

2:39 pm

There is gluten in turkey?

2:40 pm

no, that's why he can eat it

2:40 pm

*hoping uusue takes enough protein to keep herself going*

2:41 pm

I was thinking the same thing Jill. Frank isn't the only one who needs a healthy diet.

2:41 pm

my usual breakfast is Greek yogurt and Nutlettes (like Grape Nuts but pure soy, so lots of protein). Very healthy and tasty.

2:43 pm

<--------!!FW!! ti7/32 was my last

2:43 pm

yay Jill!

2:44 pm

Makes up for the unfinish yesterday...

2:44 pm

Anyone need clues before I go eat some turkey?

2:46 pm

Hubby chimed in on wanting a turkey sammie, so must *poof*

2:46 pm

Sue, just remember that you have been through a lot too and you need some "caring for" too. You can run yourself dry caring for someone else all the time.

2:58 pm

ad5/16? Seriously? Words like that make me wonder why I play this game.

3:06 pm

You play it for the joy of discovering stupid new words like that ..

3:08 pm

Thank you Tor, I forgot. Lots o'joy here then.

3:09 pm

Yep. A whole pantload of happiness in this grid ..

3:10 pm

Ah, it makes me want to buy the world a Coke.

Not much of a selction for celeb b-days today torgone.

3:29 pm

Well then, let's all raise a glass to Zachary Taylor!

3:36 pm

Here's an interesting fact about President Taylor. Taylor died from food poisoning two days after a fourth of July picnic.He had milk and grapes and didn't have anything to keep them cold. He was also very short and needed a stool to get up onto his horse.

3:39 pm

Must have been a dreary picnic if all he had were milk and grapes.

3:43 pm

LOL MollyL!

3:45 pm

The Sour Milk Conspiracy .. I'm surprised Glenn Beck isn't all over this

3:47 pm

I'm sure his 1800's counter part was. But the guy was probably offed with curdled cream before he could blow the lid on the whole thing.

3:52 pm

When Glenn disagrees, he curds the whey

3:52 pm

hi BR!

3:53 pm

Hello, Sue. Hope you are well and smiling.

3:53 pm

I am good, BR, resting a bit right now

Frank is well enough to get on the internet and research his cancers now

3:55 pm

That too is good

3:55 pm

Is Frank eating?

3:56 pm

he is, BR, his appetite is quite good

3:56 pm

Well, a trifecta

Are you at home?

Did my last word in Lickety,but saving it later for Babble

6:44 pm

nominate the weird word of the day - AD 5/16 which means (in ancient worship) a sacred place that the public was forbidden to enter; an inner shrine.

6:45 pm

Hiya Teach

6:45 pm

good evening smores

6:46 pm

relaxing with Babble after doing Thanksgiving dinner today

6:46 pm

6:49 pm

hi again, back to find my last 29 words

6:49 pm

hey there peri, me too, 29

6:49 pm

:)

6:51 pm

Hi peri, flosey :)

6:54 pm

hi smores

hi everyone

7:00 pm

hi Gwen :)

you name is making me crave, hmm, something, smores! lol

7:01 pm

Hi everyone :)

7:02 pm

craving something chocolate.......... and on the 8th day, God made chocolate!!

chocolate, and crackers, and peanut butter!

7:04 pm

oh, I have a weakness for choc & pb

7:04 pm

1/2 bag of creme de menth chips, 1/2 a pkg choco almond bark, melted together. dip ritz crackers in the mixture and you have Girl Scouts Thin Mint cookies.

7:04 pm

have you ever made a pb sandwich, add bits of chopped chocolate, and toast it

7:04 pm

(((flosey))) how are you? haven't "seen" you in ages. hey all, taking a quick break from whatever I was avoiding...

7:05 pm

those both sound great, smores and flosey

7:05 pm

hi stid, have been in and out, not always finishing

7:05 pm

hey stiddy

flosey, no, but it sounds pretty good!

7:05 pm

yum, gwen - good dark chocolate

7:05 pm

dark chocolate is the best kind

7:05 pm

I mostly don't play these days, when I get home I am pretty beat.

nbt woot

7:05 pm

snags, that sounds really nice

7:06 pm

go gwen go!

7:06 pm

I have ghiardellis dark chocolate with raspberry in the middle, mmmm good

7:06 pm

FW for me

7:06 pm

hmph. May have to go get some pumpkin pie and ice cream...

i am not an inventive cook, but here's a goofy recipe from my childhood: jelly (or jam) sandwich with Fritos corn chips in the sandwich. love it.

7:06 pm

YAY PERI!!!!!

7:07 pm

that would be lovely peri

wtg periwinkle !!!! @ @ !!!!

7:07 pm

tyty, now off to play WwF

7:07 pm

later peri

7:07 pm

wtg Peri

7:07 pm

had to restart my computer

7:08 pm

flosey, we pruned two trees (by the house, the big fig and the medlar) today! Tomorrow if it's dry I hope to dig up the dahlias...

7:08 pm

congrats Peri :) WTG

7:08 pm

busy, busy stid, as always

7:08 pm

how I'd love to have a fig tree - didn't realize they'd grow in these parts but a few friends have them here on the island

7:09 pm

we have put the veggie garden to bed for the winter, I have a few greens in the cold frames, but otherwise it's done. I wish I were more physically busy and less computer busy, flosey

7:09 pm

hubby planted one - but I may not live to see the fruits of his labour, so to speak

7:09 pm

in a sheltered, sunny location (ours are on the east and the south) they do okay. We almost got two crops this year, but needed about two more weeks of sun on either end. Most years we have one decent crop.

7:10 pm

I hope you DO make it to enjoy fresh figs. Tom and the boys, and Mother, just love them.

7:10 pm

lol...funny I grabbed a handful of dark chocolate m&m's whle I was waiting for my computer to restart

7:11 pm

am determined to make it, stid - haha, do my best

7:12 pm

love your candle icon, stid

7:12 pm

:-) I figure we gardening types are the most optimistic of people. I have plans to put in some new trees next year (really hoping to earn enough to afford it) that won't be mature for quite a while.

7:12 pm

Thanks flosey. I found it online of course.

7:13 pm

There are a lot of really nice icons on show this morning!

7:13 pm

hi liz :)

7:13 pm

indeed there are, lizlin. How is Sunday looking to you?

7:13 pm

we found some lovely candles in Shoppers Drug Mart - actually made in Canada, not easy to find anymore

7:13 pm

We are hoping for a dry day, our son's band always anchors the local "Santa Parade" the last weekend of November.

7:14 pm

Beautiful morning - only spoiled by the thought of having to clean the house!

7:14 pm

that's nice, flosey. I had trouble finding made in canada things to bring home from our trip this summer. Affordable things, anyway.

7:14 pm

ah, house cleaning is SO over-rated! Though we did vacuum the carpet yesterday and it's lovely to sit on again.

7:15 pm

Hi mama. Just starting. Hope your day went well.

7:15 pm

hi gmere

7:15 pm

It is over-rated, but sometimes it has to happen - especially as the ants are on the rampage - it's that time of year!

7:15 pm

Hi flosey. I just received some lovely maple tea from Canada.

7:15 pm

hello Mother, yes it has been lovely. Slow, but lovely. I needed it. Kid tells me you got all the way to the bike shop and his bike wsn't ready yet. *sigh*

7:16 pm

oh, interesting - was it brought back to you? or shipped through the distributor

7:16 pm

Yes. Bike probably ready tomorrow. But we had a nice ride and chat. He won't come over on Sunday because I have rehearsal.

7:17 pm

Brought to me from my son. They went to Vancouver Island.

7:17 pm

The parade starts at 245 tomorrow afternoon. We will be downtown earlier, of course.

7:17 pm

I tried to send tea to a friend in CA but couldn't send by mail - Post Office said all food stuff has to be shipped through the distributor

7:17 pm

Maple tea - sounds good. I'll look out for it next year.

7:17 pm

I might be able to twist Tom's arm and finagle a supper afterward before riemann goes home

7:18 pm

Probably true. These customs laws are strange.

7:18 pm

I wondered where those boxes of tea came from, hope they had a good time, Mother.

7:18 pm

Anything seems improved by maple flavor.

7:18 pm

must look for the maple tea, daughter might be interested

7:19 pm

oh, I have a weakness for the dark maple syrup, #3

7:19 pm

They found Canada expensive. And they thought the grocery stores interesting.

7:19 pm

interesting? in what way?

7:19 pm

Lovel maple syrup - use it to sweeten the granola I make

7:19 pm

They are in the grocery business, flosey

7:19 pm

I have it on rolled oats, mornings'

7:20 pm

I like the darker syrups, too -- the ultra-fine "grade A" stuff is too wimpy for my peasant palate

7:21 pm

The canned goods and offerings were not the same as in the U.S. It is hard for U.S. folks to realize that Canada, even though we share a language with much of it, is foreign.

7:21 pm

Back later. Enjoy your evenings :)

7:21 pm

By liz.

7:22 pm

have a lovely day, liz!

7:22 pm

bye for now liz :)

7:22 pm

we're pushing to get everything labelled non gmo

7:22 pm

yes. Canada is truly filled with wonderful and amazing and surprising things... :-) I love visiting there.

7:23 pm

That would be nice to know if things re gmo or not.

7:23 pm

for sure, since Monsanto is determined to 'take over'

7:23 pm

down to 52. Eyes are shot. back later if I can. SO glad I got to see you here today flosey! Our best to mr. flo. **puts lovely victorian-style pumpkin pie in PB (molasses and ginger, no nutmeg or cinnamon)** *poof*

7:24 pm

sounds good stid, perhaps I'll slip up just to get a slice

and my phantom of the moment is cemetery

7:30 pm

that's a grave thought

7:31 pm

May I please have a clue for er7-32? Thanks

ar ar ar groan!

er + vowel + tiny little insect

(actually not an insect, but you'll get it)

7:32 pm

Thanks so much, Gwen.

7:33 pm

they're not an insect?

i think they have 8 legs, so they're technically not (pick pick)

no, not gonna lookie it up

7:35 pm

they are arthropods

7:35 pm

wow .. who knew

7:36 pm

I guess.. it'd be harder to clue that way.. er + vowell + tiny little arthropod

7:36 pm

LOL, ruru, you are a trip.

and daddy longlegs aren't spiders, either. hmmmm

7:38 pm

<---got Molly to laugh earlier

7:40 pm

you often have us in stitches, ru

ruru, your icon alone should present laughter to most of us . . .

7:41 pm

one might wonder who the denturist is

7:44 pm

crest whitening strips flosey

7:44 pm

lol, and can't get them off?

7:46 pm

stats for either of the Y's, please?

7:46 pm

*waves to Pam*

8:03 pm

FW, and off as well, time to get supper

8:04 pm

note to Wildcat in my profile.

8:07 pm

hi folks - thank you, ru. i asked her about the money in another game we both play - no answer. she mysteriously signs off whenever i'm there. she should still be ashamed of herself.

8:08 pm

funny that Babble's profile quote for today is: Forgiveness is like faith. You have to keep reviving it. ~Mason Cooley. My take is that you can forgive, but not always forget.

8:09 pm

she is lower than pond scum

8:10 pm

horrible thing that she did

8:11 pm

personally very hurtful to me as well

8:11 pm

you know, i gave her so much latitude and benefit of the doubt. i trusted her. she pretty much reminded me that, no matter how people portray themselves online, this is the INTERNET - and even if your profile says you engage in a noble profession, it doesn't mean you're not a thief.

8:11 pm

hi again all!

8:12 pm

hi sue.

8:12 pm

*agrees with welki and ruru*

8:12 pm

hope things at home are improving

8:12 pm

hey sue

8:12 pm

they are, ruru, slowly - it's been quite a journey

8:13 pm

hope you pour yourself a nice big glass of wine and kick your feet up tonight, sue

8:14 pm

don't have any wine but you reminded me I do have some very nice beer that I have been promising myself!

8:14 pm

Hello babble friends....sue glad to hear things are improving...slow but sure

8:14 pm

hi river!

8:14 pm

well there you go! *passes sue the john wayne*

8:14 pm

hi, river

8:14 pm

at least you get to relax at home while waiting on your man...

8:14 pm

As unfortunate as it was, I hope that was a lesson learned about people on the internet. They are not always the way they present themselves and blind trust to someone you have never met is probably ill advised.

8:14 pm

*sips appreciatively*

8:15 pm

welki and ruru...I dont understand your earlier post

8:15 pm

yes I learned that one for sure. I just didn't expect it here among so many nice people

8:15 pm

I have not been on for a couple of days...so obviously I missed something

8:16 pm

river, we took up a collection for mrp and lickety a while back and a member set up an account - we trusted her to send the money to them. nope. we was robbed.

8:16 pm

my daughter has been home from school so no time for computer....

8:16 pm

I contributed to that as well....I never knew she didnt get it

8:16 pm

mr p and lickety were in great need.. a bunch of us sent a lot of money.. not a penny made it to Australia

8:17 pm

we have dont that so many times in the past with no problems.....I am sorry to hear this and it pisses me off!

8:17 pm

I wonder if wildcat steals money of of street people's cups too

8:17 pm

I believe the Paypal money did. Just not the personal checks sent.

8:18 pm

we figured something went sideways, but all questions were deflected or ignored. no explanation, nothing. and while she probably has the 'right' to be here because she went pro, it's impossible to believe the audacity she displays by showing up here (and at another word game site)

8:18 pm

my point exactly

8:18 pm

does she still show up...I havent seen wildcat in a very long time

8:18 pm

her profile says she works with the developmentally disabled - food for thought

8:19 pm

she's here right now river

8:19 pm

she engages with a vulnerable population on a daily basis. scary.

8:19 pm

Wildcat...show yourself and explain!

8:19 pm

She probably plays with chat turned off.

8:20 pm

or says she does. can't believe a word she writes now, can we?

8:21 pm

I wouldn't believe anything she says .. ever

8:21 pm

this is terrible...poor MrP was struggling for so long and both Mrp and Lickety gave us alot with the cheat sheets....all that came out of their pocket

8:21 pm

I know.. it was awful for me

8:21 pm

personally I wouldn't find any explanation she would give to be particularly useful or convincing

8:21 pm

I really wanted to help mr p

8:21 pm

HI all & yikes! I hope never to deal with that Pond Scum. I always feel as though the people here are very genuine and caring, I guess we have to be very careful. Instant karma will be her fate!

8:22 pm

here's hopin'

8:22 pm

her/him? not sure!

8:22 pm

most of us did, ru. pathetic slime.

8:22 pm

hi scrambler! I have met a number of babblers in person and have found them all to be wonderful people. So sorry that one person has poisoned the experience.

8:23 pm

her..

8:23 pm

how long was that person around?

8:23 pm

her name is Lisa Juarez or something like that

8:23 pm

yes, that's her name

8:23 pm

thanks for the heads up!!

8:23 pm

profile says she joined in 2008, so a while

8:24 pm

will have to check FB and see if she is on my friends list

8:24 pm

In general though I do feel good around everyone else. Everyone is always so helpful and genuinely interesting and caring.

8:25 pm

It's a good idea, no matter how "nice" a group seems to approach "real life" interactions with caution. Seriously, this is just words on a screen.

8:25 pm

well, that's enough vitriole for me. *clink* here's to the good people of babbleland!

8:25 pm

Hi all. I just arrived and wud like to say that I am practically perfect in every way, just like Mary Poppins.

8:25 pm

I will have to block her on FB even though I haven't friended her I shall block her! Pray for INSTANT KARMA!!!

8:25 pm

I will drink to that welki

8:26 pm

*clinks with bugsaw*

8:26 pm

<---agrees with bugsaw, she is indeed practically perfect

8:26 pm

ha! just looked at your profile, bugs! from one crone to another!

8:26 pm

back to babbling, babble on and here's mud in her eye! hahaha!

8:27 pm

ROFL uusue!!! You are the first person in the world who agreed with me! I will love you forever

8:27 pm

Speaking of drinks, I fixed hubby some hot apple juice with cinnamon and cloves, then went to the store. Came home, house stilled smelled cinnamon-y. Turns out he fell asleep and spilled it!

8:27 pm

((((bugsaw))))

8:28 pm

anyone up for a funny story?

8:28 pm

hi, gwen - hmmm, sounds like he might have put something "calming" into the cider!

8:28 pm

sure, bugs!

8:28 pm

Even the dog smelled good (for a while)

8:28 pm

oh no, gwen, he spilled it on the dog?

8:28 pm

hi bugsaw,se,gwenski,welki,river and ruru, it's nice to be back babbling daily again.

8:28 pm

LOL - ohhh, lassie, you smell like mulled cider!

8:28 pm

Mostly spilled on himself, and a bit on the dog.

8:29 pm

* waiting on the funny story *

8:29 pm

what happened to your horse photo, gwen? season over?

8:29 pm

I hate anything that has to do with funny

8:30 pm

it's true. ru hates funny. ask anyone.

8:30 pm

Horse photo? I don't recall one of those on my profile.

8:30 pm

I thought funny was disapproved of here.

8:30 pm

don't you do dressage?

8:30 pm

I asked my son to measure his girlfriend's hand around the knuckles so I cud make her a pair of fingerless gloves for Christmas. Now she thinks he is buying her a ring and keeps telling him, "you don't need to measure my knuckles. I am a size 7"

8:30 pm

not gwen (about the horse photo) - scrambler

8:31 pm

He is in so much trouble......

8:31 pm

Welki, you have me mixed up with someone else.

8:31 pm

oops, bugs! Hope she doesn't have her hopes up too much!!

8:31 pm

oh.. bugs is setting a trap

8:31 pm

Poor girl, and poor son ... Christmas will be just full of non-surprises.

8:32 pm

what's the point of fingerless gloves though..it's it the fingers that get cold?

8:32 pm

isn't it I mean

8:32 pm

<--Doesn't get fingerless gloves

8:32 pm

mrs ru has fingerless gloves .. never could figure it out

8:32 pm

so they can TEXT, ru! LOL

8:32 pm

yes but with your gloves on you can't operate your smart phone, ruru

8:33 pm

and phones are everything to youngish girls

8:33 pm

Oh my God

8:33 pm

Or when playing a musical instrument outdoors.

8:33 pm

^5 sue

8:33 pm

yes, particularly the icicle trombone

8:33 pm

yes, marching band members use fingerless gloves too

8:34 pm

also rock climbers (I know this from a previous life)

8:34 pm

yep - one of the reasons my kids opted out *brrrrrr*

8:34 pm

wouldn't that be like men's underwear with a giant hole in front?

8:34 pm

i'm all for that, ru

8:34 pm

snort....

8:35 pm

*shouting* Hey, hon! Gimme yer drawers!! I need to make an adjustment!

8:35 pm

I don't knit those ruru. Hope you aren't expecting some for Christmas!

8:35 pm

not at Thanksgiving dinner welki

8:35 pm

lost my internet connection for a minute..got it back just in time

8:35 pm

why not? i'm thankful

8:35 pm

Giant..heh..heh

8:36 pm

self-perception, molly - LOLOLOL

8:36 pm

and here I thought men's underwear DID have holes in front...

8:36 pm

but not GIANT ones :)

8:36 pm

*well if the shoe fits*

8:36 pm

Not any mens underwear I've seen

8:37 pm

*shrug* no matter to me. i'm happy for mrs. ru

8:37 pm

specialty stores?

8:37 pm

egads, all these hooks for one liners!!

8:38 pm

new championship photo coming up hehehee

8:38 pm

*Scratches head and wonders where Sue bought underwear for her son*

8:38 pm

odd lots? LMAO

8:39 pm

*waiting for scrambler's new pic*

8:39 pm

well, maybe not a *hole* exactly, but...

8:39 pm

LOL

8:40 pm

notice how this has turned away from you, ru - and to sue! now how did you DO that?

8:40 pm

only women could argue about men's underwear

8:40 pm

we're not arguing - i'd bet that most of us are ~~wondering~!

8:40 pm

I remember when my son first got big boy underwear - I showed him how to use the, what shall we call it, access port - he thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen

8:40 pm

I was hoping it'd be a brief discussion welki

8:41 pm

access port!! oh my goodness. this is too funny!

8:41 pm

I do all the laundry here and see 2 difference types ....interesting what is comfortable for one and not the other

8:41 pm

(his dad was not really in the picture so I played both roles for quite a while, with mixed success, apparently)

8:41 pm

That's weird. I don't know any guys who actually use that thing.

8:41 pm

<-- noticed ru's groaner

8:42 pm

only a scientist would call it an access port....go Sue!

8:42 pm

:D

8:42 pm

well, I learned that later on, Molly. Who knew?

8:42 pm

That's what I was thinking River : D

8:42 pm

<--- noticed Ru's groaner too but is very bad at puns

8:42 pm

my boys thot getting a cup was the funniest thing going. They all ran outside and challenged their friends to kicking them in the nuts and then both kids rolled on the ground laughing.

8:42 pm

uhm - if they don't use the ***access port*** how is ***access*** attained?

8:43 pm

took me a minute

8:43 pm

I think the term is "whip it out" Welki.

8:43 pm

that's my Cambi, 4th nationally :3

8:43 pm

out, as in over the elastic?

8:43 pm

I remember when my son was very young and told him it was OK to go outside next to a tree...he would drop them all to the ankles....LMAO seeing him out there peeing on the tree ballsy bare ass!

8:44 pm

you guys are a riot!

8:44 pm

apparently that is the preferred method, welki

8:44 pm

owie - that would hurt, whipping it out over elastic! i vote for ***access port***

8:44 pm

lmao

8:44 pm

Yeah, it's a lot easier than maneuvering through that pointless mini fly

8:44 pm

i don't spend enough time in men's bathrooms.

8:44 pm

I wouldnt catch him doing that anymore...lol!

8:44 pm

maybe that'll be my new year's resolution

8:44 pm

which begs the question of why manufacturers even bother with the complications of constructing the access port

8:45 pm

there you go, welki :-)

8:45 pm

what spending time in mens bathrooms welki?

8:45 pm

Welki: Urinal Monitor

8:45 pm

if one is shy they need an alternative....

8:46 pm

open the pod bay too HAL! HAHAHA

8:46 pm

hot damn! the things we learn. my husband calls it a "torture port"

8:46 pm

I had three boys. Trust me. Not even an 8 year old could comfortably use that pointless front opening.

8:46 pm

OOPS Open the Pod Bay Door HAL! :3

8:49 pm

8:49 pm

I went to a lot of outdoor parties. I've seen a lot of guys walk off to a tree, unzip and do the over and out maneuver. (From behind that is)

8:49 pm

8:50 pm

8:50 pm

8:50 pm

<3 I don't even want to tell you where the male horse grooms go at the horseshoes!! hahaha

8:50 pm

ok, no way am I touching THAT line, ruru!

8:50 pm

Molly, when a guy walks over to a tree you aren't supposed to look, let along very carefullly !

8:51 pm

Bugs, these guys are musicians. They so don't care.

8:51 pm

we can only hope for a good butt shot

8:51 pm

oops laughing so hard can't type, last word should have been horseshoes!

8:51 pm

8:52 pm

8:53 pm

8:53 pm

I had to reload her profile, welki, but then it showed up

8:53 pm

I guess it isn't soup yet! hahah!

8:54 pm

Ah! There it is!!! I knew you competed in dressage!! Gorgeous!!!

8:54 pm

JUST FOR FUN: The husband leans over and asks his wife, 'Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.' Yes, she says, 'I remember it well.' OK,' he says, 'How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?' Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds...like a crazy, but good idea!' A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble. So he follows them. The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in.. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.

8:55 pm

The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.. After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is. So, as the couple passes, he says to them,' Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?' Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply, 'Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence.

8:56 pm

hahaha gwenski!

8:56 pm

tyvm welki

8:57 pm

gwenski that is terrible but funny

8:57 pm

8:57 pm

8:58 pm

Seemed to be appropriate, based on the last conversation thread!

8:58 pm

<---Scared of Welki who is here but not here.

8:59 pm

Thanks for the enjoyable evening, all! I'll have to join in on the fun again very soon. Bye!

8:59 pm

9:01 pm

Mine's doing ours now???

9:01 pm

Just finished putting up 6 TV dinners. Still have turkey for 2 or 3 more dinners plus the carcass to make broth.

9:01 pm

Hubby is doing the dinner dishes molly

9:03 pm

ah. I hesitated to ask, since jilli's comment came after gwenski's story, I was afraid her hubby was doing something involving fences

9:03 pm

You have no idea what was running through my head after that joke. The dishes thing was ten minutes ago or so.

9:04 pm

bye gwenski

9:04 pm

Sorry, chog went crazy as it loaded, the comment I refered to was uusue about teaching men to do dishes...LOL

9:05 pm

Oh geez...just read Gwen's story...tears running down my face...

9:06 pm

Just a fun night!

9:06 pm

now you understand our hesitancy to ask exactly what it was your hubby was up to, Jill!

9:07 pm

I know. Mine's doing ours now after that joke made me think "Man, those Montana women really live it up on Thanksgiving weekend."

9:08 pm

and they certainly have no shortage of electric fences, I'll bet...

9:08 pm

*hides in embarrasment*

9:08 pm

prior to that it was about...access ports, pod bay doors etc.

9:09 pm

It's okay Jilly. He's only doing the dishes. Your church lady rep is still inta4.

9:10 pm

9:52 pm

re8/45=return to old times+profession of the stage

9:53 pm

hi scrambler and mgk. I'm not doing the grid today; just got here for the first time tonight (My internet is rather wonky and won't stay up); so just here for a short chat.

9:53 pm

re 8/45 word is re 5/10 plus what a thespian does mkg.

9:54 pm

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

9:54 pm

Hi Minveryork!

9:54 pm

Things are nice in MT, 4 day weekend and wonderful fun with the friends we/ve done Thanksgiving with for 20 years

9:54 pm

How was your Thanksgiving nef?

9:55 pm

Hello scrambler!How was your Thanksgiving this year?

9:56 pm

ok, found some crackers that aren't too high in fiber. Complicated diet he's on.

9:56 pm

hi min!

9:56 pm

sounds good, Jilly. My kids have been on a "Dr. WHo" kick for the past 2 days; my grandson loves everything Dr. Who and TARDIS connected and I'm about sick of it myself now... I'm so glad my dtr. only borrowed the David Tenant series rather than owning them.

9:57 pm

i have a tr 5. i dont see return. i dont get it yet. re: revisit? return? i dont get it to return to old times. and i am confused. i will see what re 5s i have.

9:57 pm

LOL, my oldest (30) is a Dr Who fan too...

9:57 pm

re+***jan horse

9:58 pm

ty got it. ty ty

9:58 pm

DH and I watched it back in the 70's and 80's; but the newer stuff seems weirder

9:58 pm

yvw

9:58 pm

ok onward to more words.

9:59 pm

I think so too, but gotta give it some time..I'll be drowing in it when he is home Dec 15th!

9:59 pm

Go mkg...not too bad a grid today, only a few weird words today...lots of phantoms though

10:00 pm

i have 95 words and doubt i will get much more. tired.

10:01 pm

need other y word for bottom row y, besides shout hurrah, is to shout ye**>

10:02 pm

also need o word for furthest right column o please.

10:03 pm

Hello uusue2! How was your Thanksgiving with Frank?

10:03 pm

ya5/16= add a vowel to the middle of the word for land in back of house (apologizes for clue)

10:03 pm

That ya5/16 word is y plus oxygen plus consonant mkg

10:04 pm

it was good, min, Thanksgiving was the day he got out of the hospital

10:04 pm

ty min got it.

10:04 pm

that o is a babblet mkg, from the 4 letters in the corner

10:04 pm

yw

10:04 pm

ty jilly got it.

10:05 pm

That's great!How has he been doing since he's been at home? I am so glad that he was able to be home on TG.

10:06 pm

He's getting better slowly, min, still in a lot of pain but gradually getting stronger (hasn't made it back downstairs yet, though)

10:06 pm

his appetite is very good, which is a good sign

10:08 pm

that's so good to hear, sue.

10:08 pm

He might be stuck upstairs,but at least he is back home.

10:10 pm

did he walk upstairs himself, Sue?

10:12 pm

he did when we got home, nef, but not since

10:12 pm

means I have to do all the running up and down, but that is ok, I need the exercise!

10:14 pm

Is he still trying to walk around hourly?

10:14 pm

Just read your caring Bridge post, Sue. I wish I was closer so I could help... Do you have some sort of online grocery company there?

10:15 pm

not exactly but he gets to the bathroom almost that often, jill

10:15 pm

Hi all - looks quite positive about Frank Sue - especially to read that he has a good appetite :)

10:15 pm

and thanks, nef, I've already had two friends offer to go shopping, so now I just need to make a list

10:15 pm

hi liz! yes, appetite is indeed good!

10:15 pm

LOL...any movement is good. Is he taking his pain meds so he doesn't let the pain get ahead of him?

10:16 pm

he is, jill, and I am keeping track of them (mostly)

10:16 pm

Good, it is a long process to heal, especially with two surgeries so close.

10:17 pm

And are YOU taking care of yourself too, Sue? Your Caring Bridge post sounds like you're exhausted.

10:18 pm

I am working on it, nef, I have selected a very small subset of what needs to get done and am not worrying about the rest at the moment

10:18 pm

right now I am having a beer, and plan to sleep well :-)

10:18 pm

As Nef said, you must take care of yourself, so you're not to exhausted to look after Frank. Beer sounds good!

10:19 pm

You also need to have someone stay with him while you go off and take a nap and then a little "girl friend time" with a friend and laughter

10:20 pm

that would be nice, nef - I do have someone coming over Monday but it's so I can get a thyroid ultrasound

10:21 pm

That doesn't count uusue!

10:21 pm

That should be on your list too...

10:22 pm

I know but it's a half hour drive away, maybe I will take myself out to lunch before or after

10:22 pm

Maybe ask a friend (from church?) for a few hours tomorrow. Your plans for Monday won't give you the break you need

10:22 pm

and the car drive itself is relaxing (through the cornfields, no traffic - and you know I like to drive!)

10:22 pm

Not the same thing at all!!!!!

10:23 pm

Poor uusue...we all ganged up on her...

10:23 pm

:-) It could also put you to sleep behind the wheel if you're too tired, Sue...

10:23 pm

good idea, nef, I'm not planning to go myself but I can get a message to the people running the program

10:23 pm

oh, I'm not THAT tired, and it's in the middle of the day which should be ok

10:24 pm

that's ok, jill, I know that if you were here you'd be right over :-)

10:24 pm

You still need time with good friends, who can give you a big hug, if and when you need it@

10:24 pm

Sorry - no more ganging up from me!

10:25 pm

okay. I need to go take care of some laundry; so I'll back off (but I'm a person who likes to drive and can fall asleep at the wheel too)

10:25 pm

You bet I would!!

10:25 pm

actually today is the first day since we went to the hospital Nov. 9 that no one (except my son) has visited

10:25 pm

Bye nef!

10:25 pm

Bye nef

10:25 pm

don't worry, nef, I really do appreciate your insight, and will be careful. You take care too!!

10:28 pm

Did I hear a call for people to nag at sue to take care of herself? *stern mama look* *wicked mama grin*

10:28 pm

hi, stid!

10:29 pm

you're up later than I would be, sue ... it's only 8:30 here.

10:29 pm

I am going to fall asleep soon, though.

10:29 pm

I slept late - didn't get up until about 9:30

10:30 pm

nice!

10:30 pm

and I am stretched out in the recliner, watching TV and babbling

10:30 pm

Hi there stid! I'm still trying to unstuff from yet another turkey feast + pumpkin pie...

It's a gecko...my new favorite crature

11:29 pm

*creature

11:30 pm

Loads of geckos here at night!

11:30 pm

thought it was also a make of wine or sherry but perhaps I'm confused - hence the alcohol!

11:30 pm

We had them at the condo we were at in Kona...one became our special pet..

11:31 pm

Might be lizlin...not a sherry person myself, now, name a gin..got that!

11:31 pm

They're very cute but when I first saw them in Malaysia and thought they were like newts, was told about their claws.

11:32 pm

Can take or leave sherry but for me, a good single malt or vodka is just fine. Or a good red wine. Not that I drink much!

11:33 pm

And they make a chirping/clicking sound.

11:33 pm

The only voiced lizards

11:33 pm

Learned that at a trivia quiz evening

11:34 pm

Tasted some great reds people brought to Thanksgiving, but usually prefer whites-Gewurztraminer is my favorite

11:34 pm

I recalled that trivia question myself!

11:35 pm

A good white is nice too! As long as a wine doesn't taste of vinegar ...!

11:36 pm

Well, I probably should toddle off to bed to stay on schedule somewhat. Thanks for a great chat!

11:36 pm

Time to have some hubby time - happy man! Australia close to beating South Africa in cricket. Thanks again for the help. See you later. Sleep well.

11:36 pm

Have a great time with hubby! *poof*

11:46 pm
