12:43 am

oh, sorry, I meant you, mitch (tired)

12:45 am

12:46 am

okay, I'll start again. Mitch, the link you gave doesn't work for me. Any idea why?

12:46 am

anyway, alternatively, go to YouTube and search for Kip Addotta Life in the Slaw Lane

12:46 am

I have no idea, Kathy. Or would you prefer Alice?

12:46 am

J/K

12:47 am

lol, someone is really super tired

12:47 am

12:49 am

You can call me a flower if you want to. I don't mind.

12:49 am

I don't know who you are.....just leave jillibus alone...she is tired tonight.

12:50 am

ah peach, it was just a good giggle

12:50 am

OK, flosey.

12:50 am

Jilli, remove the \n that the chog always adds to any link

12:51 am

and how are you, Peach

12:51 am

Doing OK really....still have the headache that I've had for several days.....I think it may be the weather.

12:52 am

And you, flosey, how are you?

12:52 am

pretty good, thanks

12:52 am

hope you get rid of that headache soon, they can be nasty

12:54 am

mixi, no appeared for me. But I got it via McLeach's saying Kip Adotta etc, and it;s a megaGROAN, very appropriate for ruru.

12:55 am

Thanks, flosey. Please say one for me. Thanks

12:55 am

glad you were able to find it, jilli

12:55 am

and I tried to type that n with a and it disappeared -- weird.

12:56 am

weather use to interfere with migraines - once left work with a very bad one - turned out to be the beginning of Hurricane Hazel that went through out part of the country - I got home before rain even started

12:56 am

I can't get the back-slant to appear here at all

12:56 am

missing an a 7 and a g 7

12:56 am

**our part of**

12:56 am

Morning Everyone

Hugs back

1:19 am

hi pug

1:19 am

((((((PUGLET))))))))

1:19 am

and hi sprite

1:20 am

hi jilli :)

1:20 am

Hugs Peach--how are you

1:20 am

such a lovely company :D

1:20 am

hello to all the new comers. Don still having bad coughing attacks, but otherwise he is on the improve. i went shopping today, was a bit pooped, but now okay

1:20 am

Hi ya Jilli

1:20 am

how are you all doing today?

1:20 am

Doing alright....and you?

1:21 am

you know how mother mac went to her daughter's, to keep her away from all this?

1:21 am

Iam going good so far

1:21 am

wow rose, so you are really feeling better? That is awesome. And glad Don is on the mend.

1:21 am

and halfway for me so this sleepyhead is off to bed -- fare well, all...*poof

1:21 am

yes rose

1:21 am

Good, puglet.

1:21 am

night Jilli

1:21 am

good to hear, peach and pug. Hanging in there, huh. *hugs*

1:22 am

well, said daughter has filled her up on sugar, AGAIN, and ended sitting with her mother in the emergency room until 1:30am.

1:22 am

night jilli, sweet dreams!

1:22 am

youre joking!

1:22 am

am really sorry to hear that, rose, but can't help being a bit wickedly pleased that for once daughter had to take care of the results herself.

1:22 am

Thanks, sprite.....hugs back.

1:22 am

mother's lungs have filled up with the bug and fluid...she just will not listen to me.

1:23 am

thanks, peach :)

1:23 am

she is either stupid or evil. I think stupid. Guess she didn't like sitting in the hospital half the night.

1:24 am

btw, sprite, pugs...peach is not fine, she is now into her 6th day of a headache..

1:24 am

yeah, sprite. maybe she will listen now...* in my dreams*

1:25 am

poor Peach, how awful, will pray for his touch to your pain

1:25 am

Thanks, hon.

1:25 am

*sending calming, healing vibes to peach's poor head*

1:25 am

sprite, how did the appointment go? or is it today?

1:26 am

it was yesterday, rose, and it went ok. I emailed you about it before opening babble just now. They can't offer me a resident program, alas. But they can offer me one day a week, in a group, for as long as it takes.

1:27 am

sorry to dob you in, peach. * grin *...sending some cooling hands on brow.....unfortunately they are still attached to my arms....will virtual hands do?

1:27 am

oh, they postponed the intake with the psychiatrist next week, won't be on Monday but on Thursday.

1:27 am

and you took it, sprite?

1:27 am

either virtual hands or very long arms, rose.

1:27 am

absolutely, rose.

1:28 am

atta girl, now you have a toe in the door, soon it open with other help for you.

1:28 am

Oh, thanks, Rose.....I needed that.

1:29 am

pfft, on postponing your therapist. but still, yet again, you have a toe in the door.

1:29 am

don't hesitate to ask, and to tell us, peach. We can think of you and pray for you and it really really does help. You guys were with me all the way yesterday.

1:29 am

Peach you under some stress causing the headaches

1:30 am

the resident program is only for anorectics, rose. Can't put an obese binge eater among them.

1:32 am

oh, and sprite, pugs. i have told daughter that don and i are unable to go into the hospital for mother's needs. she will have to organise that herself. a touch malicious, perhaps. but i want this to impact on her hard. up til now, don and i have done all the running to and fro.

1:32 am

Probably, puglet. It is worse at times, but there is nothing I can do about the stress....it's "family", rather, daughters.

1:32 am

very good, rose, am proud of you. Yes, let her find out what the results are from going against your informed advice.

1:33 am

oh, I just want to hug all of you, so many different troubles!!! (anyone wanna hear mine?) ;)

1:33 am

Rose, she should be the one to take care of this mess

1:33 am

too much worries, peach :( We can't take them away, but we can be there for you and help you bear it all.

1:33 am

you don't think i'm being too nasty? maybe i should offer to step in for a day??

1:34 am

hiya rbud :) Yes of course, do tell.

1:34 am

go for it, rbud.you have the floor

1:34 am

anytine you need to vent Peach feel free and the same to you Rbud

1:34 am

oh Peach, sorry to hear that, can understand the stress

1:34 am

NO rose! You are not being nasty at all. Take care of you and Don for now, that is more than enough. Let daughter clean up her own mess.

1:35 am

Hi there, rbud. Appreciate the hugs. Of course you may tell us yours. That's why we are all on the planet at the same time.;

1:35 am

I agree with Sprite on that Rose

1:35 am

agree with sprite - rose, it is time for daughter to step in for a while and look after Mom

1:35 am

bad hernia just above belly button, trying to keep my guts from falling out - not safe to cough or sneeze, mostly uncomfortable but occasionally painful. Have had cat scan, consults with surgeon, ER trip - all in the last week.

1:36 am

Hi Flosey

1:36 am

oh dear, rbud :( My husband had the same thing. Had to be operated on, but it worked out perfectly in the end.

1:36 am

rbut, sorry to hear, does sound quite painful

1:36 am

hi Pugs

1:36 am

just need to scrape up the $$$ for an operation and I'm hopefully fixed. might take a little while. but was glad to find out nothing worse was involved, really.

1:37 am

Gosh, rbud.....that does need to be tended to. Do you have insurance that will cover it?

1:37 am

indeed, rbud... it hurts badly when it hurts, doesn't it. I hope you will be able to have the op soon.

1:37 am

hmmm, rbud, you allergic to tapes at all

1:38 am

I have one too in about the same place--about the size of a grapefruit

1:38 am

but I can't lift things, or get out of a chair normally, or sleep normally, or eat much... and of course no insurance. but it's not extravagantly over expensive, just not easy to put together.

1:38 am

*praying for a sudden inflow of moneys for rbud*

1:39 am

my deepest sympathies, pug, no fun, is it? I have a wrap thingie I wear when it gets too bad.

1:39 am

rbud, could you qualify for Medicaid?

1:39 am

rbud, can you reduce it yourself?

1:40 am

not old enough yet, peach. I can keep pushing it back in, yes, if that's what you mean.

1:40 am

no its not rbud--I have already had it took care of once

1:41 am

side note: new word for the babble dictionary. tengo - for when it takes 10 to tango

1:41 am

rbud I went to family service and they help with mine but that was a few years ago

1:41 am

yes, rbud. okay...for the time being you are okay. buy some sports tape, non-elastic cloth tape. use it to strap your tummy firmly. it will give your tummy some support.

1:41 am

I'm at that awkward age between when the kids got too old for me to ride on their medical cards, and being old enough for one of my own. but I've applied for a program through the hospital that will get me a discount, waiting for them to sort through it and approve it.

1:42 am

rbud, Medicaid doesn't have an age limit. It covers people who need it.....perhaps you could contact someone there at the hospital or call Medicare and they will tell you whom to contact. Will always be praying for you.

1:42 am

Iam in the same place Rbud---

1:42 am

I got an elastic wrap with velcro from the med. supply, it helps.

1:43 am

when you use the tape, paint your tummy with tincture of benzoin, or friar's balsam. it protects your skin and helps the tape stick longer.

1:43 am

Will you be going to Springfield for the surgery?

1:43 am

I suppose I should look into it, but they pretty much told me when Hubs got on disability that there was nothing for me. and the surgery is "elective" - bah.

1:43 am

No, they'll do it near here, only a few miles away.

1:44 am

yeah, until it strangulates, that is.

1:44 am

yep. guess they don't believe in the ounce of prevention theory, lol

1:45 am

stupid of them

1:45 am

rbud, the tape will help. i am mindful that you are heading into warmer weather. giving you a cooler alternative.

1:46 am

I will check into the tape, you may be right about it being cooler, this big wrap is rather warm to wear. (especially with the occasional hot flash!) :P

1:46 am

people at the age of rbud and I have trouble getting medical help

1:46 am

duh...you are heading into cooler weather. don't mind me, i'm just an idiot who can't remember the seasons. now where did i put that laptop?

1:47 am

another new babble word: feminar - a seminar for women only

1:47 am

it is behind your ear, rose

1:47 am

lolol, now that one i like, sprite

1:47 am

must get to bed, 32 to go. Hope you will be able to get this matter properly resolved soon rbud - and pugs too

1:47 am

lol!!

1:47 am

:)

1:48 am

not between my ankles? oh, dear!

1:48 am

bye flosey, sleep well!

1:48 am

cute one sprite

1:48 am

night Flosey

1:48 am

xoxox, flosey, sweet dreams, hun

1:48 am

thanks rose and goodnight all

1:49 am

thanks, rose and flosey :) The dictionary is gr4ing nicely.

1:49 am

reminds me of an uncouth friend I had, he always used to say stuff like "if it was up your 'behind' you'd know where it is!" (nonsense, but still funny)

1:49 am

Sweet dreams, flosey.

1:49 am

lol rbud

1:49 am

nite, flosey!

1:50 am

*chuckle* well you would know if something was there, surely...

1:50 am

Peach, you need to release some of your stress

1:51 am

so, pug, you said you'd had yours repaired already? and it came back? the surgeon said that happens a lot, was wondering if it's even worth it.

1:52 am

Yes, 'm dear. I know. It is with me constantly. And only I can do it......just have to keep trying. I'm so grateful that I have all of you to calm me when it gets too rough.

1:52 am

we're here for you, peach, every step of the way. Holding you and praying for you.

1:53 am

I went in er for another reason and they put me in and ended up having 4 that they repair and it came back about 3 years later

1:54 am

I hate you are in so much pain and stress Peach

1:54 am

so how do you deal with it? just be very careful, I suppose, of course?

1:55 am

Thank you, dear sprite. You know the same goes for you as well. It seems that we all have problems....and it does help so much to have people who genuinely care about ut.

1:55 am

rather, us.

1:55 am

tape it in as rose said, rbud, and be very careful for now... and pray for lots of money :)

1:55 am

when it pops out and is hurting I just take it easy during that time

1:55 am

I couldn't agree more, peach. It makes all the difference. *hug*

1:57 am

I guess heavy lifting and hard work caused mine over the years

1:59 am

I hate seeing anyone in pain --- Hugs to you Peach

1:59 am

I think mine just grew over the years from a little one I'd had since the last kid was born, with normal lifting, etc. Then this spring I was so sick I coughed for days, and it got worse. Plus I tried to help Hubby up when he fell a few times lately.

2:02 am

mine didnt pop out until working at the nursing home,lifting people.But Ive always packed feed bags and hay when I had horses

2:04 am

that's some heavy lifting, for sure

2:04 am

Sprite did you make it to your ride before the rain came,yesterday

2:05 am

pug, I was so protected all day by all your prayers and good thoughts. Yes, I didn't get a drop of rain, which was pretty amazing considering the weather :)

2:07 am

thats so good! I like the rain myself. I use to love going walking in it--I think rain is good luck

2:07 am

Makes a kind of "shield" around one, doesn't it?

2:08 am

I don't mind the rain usually, but I didn't have a rain coat and I hate arriving in wet clothes.

2:08 am

it sure does, peach.

2:08 am

A shield of loving friends prayers

2:09 am

How true, puglet.

2:09 am

lol... we both must go to the PB, pug. Ra4 is in today's grid.

2:10 am

I have been caught out in it on the horses and have used a trashbag as a raincoat-lol

2:10 am

hehehe, nice image

2:13 am

talking of images, Rose did you like the image I had of you and Don?

2:14 am

I had a image of Rose and Don wrapped in heavy housecoats with thermometer hanging from their mouths yesterday-lol

2:15 am

yes, pugs, made me smile as it was very close to the truth.

2:16 am

lol pug :D I think rose sneaked off to help Don and see to dinner.

2:16 am

ah ok, I was wrong :P

2:18 am

Peach, there is a site called Daily Strength and there is a group that Sprite pointed me to called Dont Give Up (isnt Sprite?) and they have some beautiful poems and up lifting stories that makes you feel really good. Plus they have a support group for anything under the sun.

2:19 am

indeed, peach. A good community there too.

2:20 am

Rose and Rbud, you might like it as well--didnt mean to leave anyone out

2:20 am

back...nope, it was a potty break.

2:20 am

bad bad rose, breaking another potty

2:21 am

sprite, did you read the little story about rootbeer and cupcakes

2:21 am

roflol, sprite. well i don't like chamber music..

2:21 am

yes I did! Isn't that a lovely story???

2:21 am

Thanks puglet, I will get on it. Is it on FB or do I just google it?

2:21 am

it was!

2:21 am

lol rose :)

2:21 am

http://www.dailystrength.org/ Peach, that is the link

2:22 am

Chamber music.....good one, Rose. Gotto remember that one. lol

2:22 am

awwww, himself has fallen asleep beside me...ain't it sweet?

2:22 am

and the group is dont give up, Peach

2:22 am

aw so sweet, rose :)

2:23 am

chamber music like dark shaddows?

2:24 am

sometime tonight we have to pack our Christmas Child boxes, or at least before sunday. hope everything fits in. it should once we have removed all the packaging.

2:24 am

sprite, do you guys have halloween there

2:24 am

Thanks, sprite. I have written it on my daily list.

2:25 am

lovely, peach. My handle there is 'spritelet'. Would love to become friends there as well.

2:25 am

rose, what are Xmas Child boxes?

2:25 am

where do you send them too Rose or is it for local kids

2:25 am

don and i have daily messages sent to our computers. short readings from the bible. it is amazing how many times The Word is just for us.

2:25 am

pug: no, we don't. But because everything here becomes more and more american, it is starting to be a thing here too.

2:26 am

same for me too Peach and mine is the same as here

2:26 am

through our church. we fill the boxes with recommended things, wrsap them, and Operation christmas Child sends them to third world children in time for christmas

2:27 am

'm dears, I do believe I need to start getting ready for bed.....a little early for me, but just maybe I can get to sleep at a decent hour. Blessings

2:28 am

Prayers that He wraps you in his healing arms through out the night..night Peach

2:28 am

xoxox, peach. hope you awake refreshed, minus the headache.

2:28 am

I hope you will sleep quickly and well, peach. *hugs* Will hold you in my prayers.

2:28 am

do you use shoeboxes Rose

2:29 am

that is awesome, rose. We should have something like that too. Will look into it.

2:29 am

not actual shoeboxes, pugs. that is how it all started. we now can purchase boxes, folded flat, ready to be made into boxes.

2:30 am

sprite, google it. it is actually an american based organisation. but world-wide also.

2:31 am

very good, rose. Will do. We used to do something like that when the kdis were in elementary school.

2:32 am

well, our church makes up baskets of food, about 20-30 for one of our local primary schools. the social worker there works out which families need them, and passes them on. we do it 3-4 times per year.

2:33 am

thats nice Rose--I miss going to church

2:34 am

that is nice too.

2:34 am

awww, pugs, is it so difficult to go to a church near you?

2:34 am

church is wherever you come together to worship, pug. Can be with your husband in your garden, if you want.

2:35 am

*grin* when we make up the school baskets we try to include stuff like candy, and even vouchers for a 'fat' food chain. it gives them a treat they would not other-wise have.

2:36 am

we have one about a mile from my home but the people didnt make you feel welcome, and where I use to go, our pastor had a stroke and is no longer there.

2:36 am

*fast* but fat works too, lol

2:37 am

so many of the churches wants to be a place of entertainment and except things thats not to God's words

2:38 am

and yes it is a treat, when your diet is only the recommended amounts from the food pyramid. i don't think the occasional treat like that is out of the question.

2:38 am

not at all, rose. A treat is healthy for body and mind and spirit.

2:39 am

this is another grid with teeth, even though teeth is a phantom

2:39 am

I miss when we were kids going around homes of the elderly singing christmas carols

2:40 am

that's the problem with the young families of today. restraint is not taught as a basic habit...and then they wonder why our kids are overweight. it's not the fast food places at fault, it's the parents for not teaching self-restraint.

2:41 am

very very true, rose. Am happy to say that even with my eating disorder we raised our kids slim and healthy.

2:41 am

once on a camping trip with our horses we went to a church service on horseback in the mountains. It was so beautiful there and was such a touching service too

2:42 am

yup, sprite, it is. was getting particularly nasty towards the end, for me...lol

2:42 am

lol rose :)

2:43 am

awww pugs, what an incredible experience.

2:43 am

how lovely, pug

2:44 am

are there any ing words in this grid

2:45 am

yes, I found one, pug

2:45 am

okay thanks

2:47 am

do you mean the start or end, pugs?

2:47 am

congrats Rose on your fws---ending

2:48 am

thanx, pugs...yup, only one word with the gerund finish

2:48 am

te7

2:48 am

belated YAYYYYY for our rose

2:49 am

got it

2:49 am

lolol, sprite...xoxox. and also to my loved pugs, xoxox

2:49 am

the -ion ending is a little more rewarding today, pug

2:49 am

nice job, pugs, well done

2:50 am

ty all

2:52 am

Rose, may I ask why you were out shopping sick?

2:53 am

yup you can pugs...ask away...*grin*

2:53 am

you already did, pug

2:53 am

thats not resting and taking it easy

2:53 am

oh, did I--sorry

2:54 am

because we needed groceries...and DH was still not well enough to go. i don't like to waste money on asking the local to deliver.

2:55 am

and so now you are paying for that outing?

2:55 am

it was just down the road about 10 minutes. and i used a tissue to cover my mouth and nose when i coughed/sneezed.

2:56 am

not really, dear. nose hase been congested all day, i think this is the flick in the tail of this virus.

2:56 am

and that wore you out?

2:56 am

*giggle* Don't say sorry, pug, we are both pulling your leg.

2:56 am

well, if your body can work it out with a good case of the sniffles, you are doing ok.

2:56 am

shes sneaky Sprite!

2:57 am

isn't she just, pug, isn't she just L(

2:57 am

that was :)

2:57 am

hmmpphh...sneaky?? moi??

2:57 am

she gives us all advice yet she dont use it herself

2:58 am

oops,,yup that line i shouldn't cross, there it is, 5 fe4 behind me...darn!!

2:58 am

how did it get there??

2:59 am

I have the feeling rose is very able to judge her limits. I think she wouldn't have gone if she had felt it would be too much.

2:59 am

lol rose

3:00 am

lol Sprite! we are talking about Rose are we not?

3:00 am

3:06 am

3:06 am

*grins*

3:07 am

Missed that comment! Good one!

3:07 am

ah, well, what can you do with a woman who talks over you?? typical netherlander...roflol

3:08 am

:)

3:08 am

lolollllll us dutchies with the big mouth

3:08 am

sprite, i do hope i number people from your neck of the woods as some of my fave people?

3:09 am

I hope so too, rose

3:10 am

ahhh!!!! good...so you do understand me..would never do or say anything to hurt you, my dear.

3:10 am

you didn't, I can take jibes like nobody's business, grin. Have at it and don't worry :)

3:11 am

my dear, even rhinoscerous hide thins at some point.

3:11 am

not from your kind of jokes, rose. I love 'm. Please don't worry.

3:14 am

Most people here would not deliberately make hurtful comments. Good natured jiving is affectionate.

3:14 am

Jibing

3:14 am

I couldn't agree more.

3:15 am

has any of you seen on tv where this man got tired of his daughter wearing short shorts and he(being kind of chunky) cut off a pair of his pants to make himself a pair of short shorts and went out in public with her. She did not like that at all. lol

3:16 am

lol pug. Silly man. Let her wear short shorts while she is young and enjoy it.

3:16 am

Too funny!

3:17 am

when their cheeks hangs out, thats too short

3:17 am

well yes. True. But when else to experiment with that kind of things? They will get over it soon enough.

3:18 am

may I make an observation?

3:18 am

always, snags!

3:18 am

So many kids dress like that. Thankfully most gr4 out of it!

3:19 am

Nice to meet you Snags--yes fire away

3:19 am

Did any of you see Miley Cyrus and the exhibition she put on............. a former Disney child star........

3:20 am

nice meeting you also puglet, sprite

3:20 am

yes I did, too much of her lately

3:20 am

what did you think of her performance?

3:21 am

dont want to step on anyones toes but I think its disgusting to say the least

3:22 am

glad you join our chat, snags. No I didn't see it. Should I google for it?

3:22 am

g'day snags. no. i didn't see

3:22 am

it's just so.......... in such poor taste

3:22 am

hi grannyrose

3:22 am

no good for roll models for kids today

3:23 am

snags, back to my earlier comment about parents teaching their off-spring restraint??

3:23 am

my daughter buys slutty clothes for her 17 yr old daughter

3:23 am

its was (what did you call it Rose?) something dancing,but with clothes on

3:24 am

ok, googled and found it. I think I am with Elton John on this... she is an accident waiting to happen.

3:24 am

ahhhh.horizontal slam-dancing?

3:25 am

does her daughter want to wear those, snags?

3:25 am

now shes got a new video out with out clothes on at all

3:25 am

perhaps out of control trying to prove she is now 20 yrs old and not a good girl image

3:25 am

yes sprite she does after all, mom bought them.

3:26 am

many child stars end up bad, in my opinion. Being a star is not a good environment for raising a child well.

3:26 am

agree

3:26 am

lol I think my daughter would look at me and say: "You wear them, mum."

3:26 am

good for her sprite

3:27 am

indeed! Am very proud of her. She has a mind of her own and is not afraid to express it.

3:27 am

true Sprite but so many young girls think they want to be like them

3:27 am

I just dont get why the parents let the clothing industry tell them how to slut dress their kids

3:27 am

shaking my head

3:28 am

very true, pug. They only see the glamour. Not the stress and the kissing-up people around them.

3:29 am

snags, my daughter had a classmate when she was in elementary school. Her mother dressed her like a slut too. And when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she literally said: a hooker. She meant it too, having the role model at home, apparently.

3:29 am

well gosh.............. there is the example

3:29 am

it was so sad. And nothing one can do about it.

3:30 am

I dont have kids myself but when I visited my sister and her daughter came out in a top that was too revealing for a 13 year old, Her mom says I hate her wearing that and left it at that. I fixed it for her, I ripped the thing into

3:30 am

around my area, cops have picked up moms prostituting her daughter she was 7

3:30 am

snags, it is so sad...but as long as WE have started the fire* by raising our children the correct way*, we are not able to pull the next generation into line. all we can do, is express our disapproval ( in a kindly, gentle way * of where they are, in today's society. it takes an incedible amount of strength to stand firm against what current peer pressure applies.

3:30 am

wtg pug. Seeing things through when you don't like what they do is so important.

3:31 am

omg snags... that is horrible

3:31 am

maybe my daughter wished she had dressed that way herself.

3:31 am

yes it's tragic sprite

3:31 am

sex is everywhere--tv, games you name it

3:32 am

yes even on pinterest.com

3:32 am

we have always been open about sex towards the children. But we have also always stressed that even though it isn't taboo, it is definitely a private thing.

3:32 am

sex sells

3:33 am

modesty is not in this generation coming up like it was during our raising

3:33 am

we have a new bar/grill in town that has the serving wenches dress in kilt skirts,and a halter type top that pushes up and out.

3:34 am

yes, I think that is it, snags. Sex sells, indeed.

3:35 am

very short kilt skirts don't bend over

3:35 am

well look at these cheerleaders at games!

3:35 am

nor move your arms or you will fall out

3:36 am

somehow I distrust the food in such restaurants, snags. If one needs to take away the attention from it in such a fashion, the food has to be bad :)

3:36 am

oh yeah, that kind of halter tops. We always say: "Don't sneeze!"

3:36 am

they don't care about food really, it's the booze

3:36 am

big money maker

3:37 am

you go to the beach or pool and theres women in suits with just a string between the cheeks

3:38 am

and it's so ugly

3:38 am

the butt floss clothes. Would hate to wear them.

3:38 am

most of should leave our beach coat on

3:38 am

if I did wear such,no one would even see the string

3:39 am

you know, I think this all happens because people confuse shame with modesty. I think it is a wonderful thing people are not pressured to be ashamed of sex, nudity and their own bodies. But a bit of modesty goes a long way. No need to let it all hang out, to put it gently ;)

3:40 am

that would be me............ many pounds ago you would have seen it.

3:40 am

same here... too much cheek and no string.

3:40 am

lol me too!

3:41 am

I can dress like that at home for my hubby if I want.

3:41 am

we are not like Rose,she can still wear a tutu

3:41 am

yeah... at home in private, it is a whole other matter.

3:41 am

I can too, in my dreams..........lol

3:42 am

rose is unbeatable :)

3:42 am

I 'm glad someone is........... :)

3:43 am

:D Where is our rose, btw? Did we lose her amidst the cheeks?

3:43 am

and Ruby too

3:43 am

hope not.........

3:44 am

I dream of myself in one of those evening gowns that has the fullflowing skirts and in emeral green with the jewels to match-lol

3:45 am

what a wonderful dream

3:45 am

that would be much more my style too, pug. Elegant flowing clothes. Well who knows... if I learn enough in the clinic, I might be able to wear that kind of clothes again some day :)

3:46 am

what are you learning sprite?

3:46 am

I have also wanted to do ball room dancing

3:47 am

live your dreams ladies..........

3:47 am

Sprite is that you in your photo profile with the long dark hair?

3:48 am

you too snag

3:48 am

am gonna learn how to battle my eating disorder, snags. Will start a program for that end of this month.

3:48 am

I hope you come and join us more Snags

3:49 am

in the glasses and the dotty blouse? Yes, that was me, some time ago

3:50 am

You can beat this sprite.......... I quit smoking, (but too late)

3:50 am

thank you puglet, I am having a sleepless night.

3:50 am

well you are a nice looking young lady--you put yourself down too much Sprite

3:50 am

too late for what, snags? Are you ill with it?

3:51 am

aw dear pug... I don't look like that anymore, that is 10 years ago :) I am much much fatter now.

3:51 am

copd, that is at times exasperating.

3:51 am

I have been trying to quit for so long Snag and I still havent gotten it done--sobs

3:51 am

oh that is an ugly disease to have :( Am so sorry, snags.

3:52 am

me too sprite. by the time I quit, the damage was done.

3:53 am

Did you read the book Allan Carr's easy way to quit smoking, pug? It really helps.

3:53 am

yes me too Snag, Hugs for you

3:53 am

*hugs* for snags

3:53 am

This is my second marriage. Hubby's wife and my spouse died the same year.

3:53 am

yes I did Sprite

3:54 am

ok... too bad it didn't help enough. Giving up any addiction is a tough battle.

3:54 am

He married me knowing I have these health issues because he went a just plain fell in love with me and didn't care, just wants to take care of me...... I am so blessed.

3:54 am

am glad for you! Yay for your hubby.

3:55 am

yes it sure sounds like it Snag.Glad you found someone like that

3:55 am

ty........... I love him too and he sure is my rock.

3:55 am

sorry for hijacking this chat

3:56 am

no need to be sorry at all Snag

3:57 am

glad you joined us, snags. No matter of hijacking, we are all avid chatters here.

3:57 am

my avatar is how we are living our lives........... for however long!! :)

3:57 am

I talk alot too and Sprite and Rose are kind enough to not tell me to shut up

3:57 am

if a couple can laugh together, they can stay together forever.

3:57 am

:)

3:57 am

how about all of you............. married? widowed?

3:57 am

pug, I sent you an email.

3:58 am

I am happily married, with two teenager kids.

3:58 am

okay Sprite--you need me to go read it now

3:59 am

nice

3:59 am

no, it is about quitting smoking, whenever you have time to read it. Hope you don't mind.

4:00 am

Iam married, just had our 17th ann first of the month. Mine is a up and down thing but I made a comentment and got to stick to it

4:00 am

yes I am blessed with my husband too. We stick together through it all and we have weathered quite our share of problems already.

4:00 am

not at all Sprite---

4:01 am

hehehe pug and I had our 17th wedding anniversary almost at the same time. Only a few days apart.

4:01 am

have your lives turned out and any of you expected when you were a very young adult?

4:02 am

wow sprite, pug

4:02 am

not even close.

4:02 am

no way!

4:02 am

lol

4:03 am

next question, is it better or worse?

4:03 am

a touch both ways I guess

4:04 am

worse, in that it has a lot more problems and battles and issues than I planned. Better, in that I could no way have pictured the experience and wisdom I have acquired through it all, back then

4:06 am

it has been a delight meeting you all. Next sleepless night I shall be here. BBL Hugs to all

4:07 am

I hope you can sleep now, snags. Blessed be. *hugs*

4:07 am

back at ya Snag--hugs

4:07 am

oregano is a phantom :(

4:07 am

Rose must of dozed off to

4:08 am

keyboard indentation in her cheek

4:08 am

yes and groom too

4:08 am

indeed :(

4:08 am

I never seen Ruby leave and Ive not seen Joso on yet this morning

4:09 am

hm, problem. My boy is still ill, my girl is off to school and I am hurting allover from yesterday's ordeal. But... the dog has to be walked.

4:09 am

didn't see joso either today. And I think ruby left suddenly.

4:10 am

hmm, wonder who gets to walk the dog-lol

4:10 am

yeah, sigh. Not sure I am up to it. But on the other hand, it is just pain. I can handle pain.

4:10 am

you dont have a fence in yard

4:11 am

yes but our yard is really really small, pug. Not much to occupy our dog's attention.

4:12 am

oh, you never know, you might feel better after you get out there

4:12 am

take time to smell the roses as the saying goes

4:13 am

god gives us so many colors and things to enjoy each day we sometimes forget to look

4:13 am

true. Well, babble first. Then I will dress, and we will see.

4:14 am

you are right about that, pug. I try to start every day with being grateful for all those things.

4:15 am

isnt there a spice called torgon or something like that

4:16 am

oregano?

4:16 am

and we have a babbler called torgone

4:16 am

it starts with a t

4:16 am

tarragon

4:17 am

maybe its taragon

4:17 am

tarragon

4:17 am

thats it Jay--ty

4:17 am

hiya Jayk :)

4:17 am

morning all.

4:18 am

morning Jayk

4:18 am

I dont know that Ive met you before

4:19 am

aback. Sorry for the abrupt departure. DH got back from the store with his usual list of mistakes. I should start going to th market with him but 1)he insists on driving 2) it is too cold for me and 3)he is obnoxious

4:19 am

i'm here all the time--well, very early mornings--but generally just plod through the words

4:19 am

hi jayk

4:20 am

hi ruby, wb and don't worry about the leaving. It is a tough situation. Maybe you can go once or twice a week by yourself and get what he forgets?

4:20 am

welcome back Ruby

4:20 am

or ask your help to do it once a week?

4:20 am

brb, son is awake and sneezing his head off

4:20 am

I read back over the chog and snags sounds nice and interesting but only went back to the bottom of the current page as I haven't time for "research"

morning babblers :)

4:21 am

morning nan

4:21 am

it's not that he forgets and I make very detailed lists (VERY), but when he knows it's the wrong thing, he tends to get 4 or 5.

4:21 am

hello hello nan

4:22 am

to just got to you Ruby

4:22 am

for example: I asked for mini mozzarellas, those little balls to go with the cherry tomatoes. I carefully explained what I wanted and wrote it down. He came back with 7 packages of other kinds

Ruby, my son does my shopping and he is forever getting the wrong thing cause he doesnt take the time to read the lable

4:23 am

I meant to just get on your nerves Ruby

4:24 am

What I don't understand is why, when he knows it's not what I asked for, he buys multiples. Is it a |mother issue" ad he wants me to berate him and be disappointed, like his mother

4:25 am

I know I'm lucky that he does the shopping, but he leaves for the store before 8AM and I'm just not ready that early

4:25 am

what if you say nothing and take those items back and get what you want

4:26 am

I had to do that yesterday because he bought a $400+ WATCH THAT HE DIDN'T NEED AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE STORE AND TOLD THE SALES CLERK THAT SHE HAD TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AN OLD MAN WITH POOR COMMUNICATION SKILLS (AN UNDERSTATEMENT)

4:27 am

sorry for the caps

4:27 am

hate to say but that happens too many times to the elderly

yes it does!

4:28 am

it's true, but I certainly got my way in the store! I can be surprisingly aggressive in French when I need to be

4:29 am

good for you Ruby!

4:31 am

*giggle* yay you, ruby, standing up to the store staff. no, pugs, not gone, was stuffing my face * in my defence it is/was dinner time*. hello nanette and jayk

hi Rose

4:31 am

sprite thought you got lost in the crack--lol

4:31 am

good for you. I don't think he does it on purpose, ruby. He is just confused. He may realise it is not exactly what you said and then compensate by bringing you many.

4:31 am

I am woman, hear me roar, even at the dept. store!

4:32 am

hiya Nanette :)

hi Sprite

4:32 am

lol indeed, lost in the cheeks convo, rose

4:32 am

my boy is feeling miserable, poor kid. Wanting to sleep and sneezing his head off.

4:32 am

ruby, so frustrating that DH cannot follow a list. same here, and my DH could give your DH 15 years and still be younger.

4:33 am

hahah, ruefully, rosie

4:34 am

my love does the same thing. When I show him the empty package and ask him to bring me exactlly this, he still comes home with something else. Men... what can we say ;)

4:34 am

was he near Rose and Don, Sprite?-lol

it does seem to be one of their traits )

4:35 am

ah, you think it is catching? :D

4:35 am

If he could cook, I'd do the shopping, but I cN ONLY DO SO MUCH!

4:35 am

mine too--and you tell him where something is right here in the house, he still cant find and it will be right in front of his face

4:36 am

Seems to me the solution is quite simple. Women do the shopping. The simpleton men as you so aptly berate, can stay home.

4:36 am

MUST HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR GENES, IF IT'S THE YOUNG ONES,TOO

4:36 am

morning OO

4:36 am

they can stay home, but then they have to cook and put the sh** away!

4:36 am

also, let's say for instance we always have the same tea. For years. Tea is out. I ask him to bring tea. What do you think he brings? A whole other kind of tea, and he is beaming about it: let's try this one! And all I think is, darn, I want the old one.

4:37 am

exactly, sprite.

4:37 am

No pride in this o-o, just a question of who does which work

4:37 am

hi BabbleRabble, good to see you. Not putting men down. Just discussing a trait that seems to be there in some of the men we know :)

4:38 am

Sprite, the thing to do is hide some of the old tea

4:38 am

and how much of it

4:38 am

Sure, but each morning there would be more about how the inept men blew it again.

4:38 am

lol pug :)

4:38 am

perhaps you're the perfect exception, o-o

4:38 am

nah, I am happy my love is willing to do most of the shopping. And gladly I am able by now to go out to the store and get something by myself if I really need to. Couldn't do that for years.

4:38 am

I have been watching this type of convo ever since I started coming here.

4:39 am

why is that oo of the men?

4:39 am

perhaps you should just lurk then

4:39 am

Morning all

4:39 am

we eed to share; perhaps you don't

4:39 am

morning Anita

4:39 am

I am a perfect nothing. I just know men will get blasted no matter what they do.

4:39 am

hello anita

4:39 am

and why, 0-O, do the women have to carry all the food etc home? i thought historically it was the MEN who supplied all the foods and other needs?

4:40 am

amen, rosie

4:40 am

good morning, anita

and I am grateful my son does my shopping, I have learned to just go with his mistakes or simply ask him to take something back if need be

4:40 am

I know it is a sensitive thing for you, BabbleRabble. In no way I mean it to be hurtful for you. It is the same kind of thing as men compairing notes on how their women nag. A gender thing. But no disrespect intended.

4:40 am

well I for one find it strange that all over the world the men seem to have the same traits

4:40 am

that is absolute BS, o-o, and you sknow it!!!!!

4:40 am

I think women just need something to complain about.

4:40 am

hiya Anita :)

4:40 am

I give the "mistakes" to the housekeeper

4:41 am

that, too, is BS!

4:41 am

that is probably true. And men do too. That is a human trait.

4:41 am

Iam sorry too if your feelings got hurt OO

4:41 am

ooohh!! BR is so stirring the pot today...

4:41 am

On "good" days, we all share them, too

4:42 am

Sprite and Rosie, have you ever seen me riled up before?

4:42 am

BabbleRabble, I think you have seen me say good things about my love very of5 as well... you know how I feel about it.

4:42 am

I like OO and his statement though sometimes I dont get them

4:42 am

and Puglet?

4:42 am

My feelings are not hurt .... I just see the comments. And you people are not stirring the pot

4:42 am

guess I have, ruby

4:42 am

I dont think so Ruby

4:43 am

I don't think o-o is in a position to judge us; if we need to vent, this is a perfect place. If he doesn't like it, tant pias!

4:43 am

Women are perfect. Men are always wrong.

4:43 am

I wish I were!

4:43 am

o-o that is utter nonsense

on the contrary, no one is perfect

4:43 am

pis*

4:43 am

lol yeah, we are so perfect. Most of our chats are about our own failings though ;)

4:44 am

exactly, sprite

4:44 am

yeah from fat to tears!lol

4:44 am

and loaded guns!

4:45 am

You by your own admission choose to remain with your husband ... still each day it is yip yip yip

4:45 am

argh yes. Fat, tears, therapy and teenagers.

4:45 am

well, judgement is easier than compassion, always, BabbleRabble...

4:46 am

but nobody has the right to criticize ua, at a combined age of 158,, there are not a lot of choices. Why don't you tell us about your "happy" life o-o, the recluse

4:46 am

and complaining is complaining

4:46 am

Iam cause I made a comitment before God and I cant live by his words on life if I only take out what I want that fits my own needs

4:46 am

f*** you! And now it's off to lunch with my perfect husband. And with whom are you having lunch o-o?

4:47 am

This is too funny.

enjoy your lunch Ruby

4:47 am

You are a jerk, o-o by any name!

4:47 am

yep, like you complain about us. I don't mind, I know a tiny bit of where you are coming from. But we will vent now and again in the chat, it is what women do to sort out our stuff and get things back on the rails.

4:48 am

bye no no and see you kids later, hopefully o-o will have gone back into his perfect cave

4:48 am

come on, no need to call names or curse. We all have a right to speak our mind.

4:48 am

You dont bother me OO--If you need to vent too by all means feel free

4:48 am

well sprite ... you can think what you want.

4:48 am

*woof*

4:48 am

bye Ruby--hugs

4:48 am

but venting against us? What about his "perfect" life?

4:48 am

I have not cursed.

4:49 am

I know, BabbleRabble, and I do. And no, you did not curse and I was not addressing you. Just stating that you also have a right to speak your mind.

4:49 am

You people simply cannot face the reality of what you do.

4:49 am

I did and robably the first time in here. You are very unpleasant o-o! Is that more ladylike?

4:50 am

We all truly face our own realities and need each other to share them. We don't need you!

4:50 am

I will readily assume the role of pariah and you can yip at me all you want.

4:50 am

oo have you had bad experences with women

4:50 am

o-o, do you think my DH has never complained about my behaviour? yes, it hurts, but i always take on board what he has said. he is a very wise, and sensible person.

4:50 am

for me it is not you people, but us people. Of which you are a part that I personally care about.

4:50 am

7:00 am

hi annie

7:00 am

{{annie}}

7:01 am

It's raining pecans at my house.

7:01 am

Morning, Annie,

7:01 am

Hi Bichon, ((ruby)), Bea

7:01 am

better than raining slugs which it does here from time to time

7:01 am

Mmm, fish fry and pecan pie for dessert.

7:01 am

really ruby?

7:01 am

Is Erhard home safe and sound?, Bichon?

7:02 am

not often, happily, but when it does, it's disgusting

7:02 am

looks like moving poops in the grass

7:02 am

Yes, and we had a nice dinner followed by TV. Peaceful and sourrounded by our loving fluffs

7:02 am

The pecans wouldn't be good in a pie. They are still green and half eaten by fuzzy tailed rats. Thus the reason it is raining pecans.

7:03 am

that's ike the plum "drops" which are wormy and not ripe

7:03 am

Bichon, sounds homey and what you both needed after all that excitement

7:03 am

Annie, it's so funny, but Mr. B had a twitter following

7:03 am

mmm,fresh plums...

7:03 am

but fuzzy-tailed rats sound cute -- almost-squirrels?

7:04 am

I slept so soundly last nice. It was even nice to listen to the soring

7:04 am

*snoring

7:04 am

wow, Mr. B is going to be famous...He should start a blog about his adventures on quiz shows.

7:04 am

Mr. Bichon, Internet Quiz Show Sensation : )

7:04 am

Not cute! Yes, they are squirrels. But here, they are vermin, imho.

7:05 am

I think he's too busy with his Facebook page

7:05 am

they only show dopey Fr ones, here :(

7:05 am

no squirrels here, the Fr have eaten them or worn them as 500-skin coats eeew

7:05 am

You could follow it on line ruby

7:05 am

ewww

7:06 am

how, bichon?

7:06 am

Name that proper noun....Captain in the Caine Mutiny

7:06 am

If squirrel were the only meat left to eat, I would happily become a vegetarian.

7:06 am

Just go to the web site and click on the on line function

7:06 am

queeg?

7:07 am

ding ding ding!!!!

7:07 am

:-)

7:07 am

These squirrels would not be worth eating. They are small, just a bit bigger than a rat.

7:07 am

small bones, not much meat; you'd have to season them like Buffalo wings

7:07 am

I have 43 words and nothing bigger than a 5 letter word

7:07 am

time to refuel

7:08 am

you don't know NY rats, the size of cats, bzzn!

7:08 am

7:08 am

7:09 am

There are 20 - 30 squirrels in our yard.

7:10 am

squirrel city in my neighborhood

yuck! i never realized till lately how damaging they can be

7:10 am

We have a lot of squirrels here too Bea. Lots of trees = lots of squirrels.

at work, they were eating the wiring in cars

7:11 am

ditto molly

7:11 am

The old lady that once lived in our house would climb out the upstairs bathroom window with her shotgun and a bottle of whiskey and shoot at them.

7:12 am

Bea! : D

you are not old, bea.

7:12 am

She never hit any because, "She only had that one eye."

7:14 am

as kids we used to take them out with sling shots loaded with ball bearings.they would get into the attic of the old place we were in and chew the wiring.was nos chance of beating them since they outnumbered us 1000 to one but was fun for evil pre-teen boys

7:18 am

just reading back on rbuds medical woes.it is sad she lives in a country where she is forced to endure that till she can pay cash for an operation:(((

7:22 am

So, how is the weather everyone? Nice and cool here.

Oh, I'm hoping to come for a visit sooner rather than later, crossy...sounds like heaven there.

7:27 am

my family and i are very blessed to live where we do

7:29 am

tadone!! finito!!

7:29 am

yaaa for lbd!!

7:29 am

As weather goes, the rest of the year here is excellent. It's just getting through the summer that's difficult. But I still miss the big lush trees and the good earth where you can actually grow things. I grew up in Ohio so I remember that.

7:31 am

*Calls PB violation on a technicality*

9:54 am

do i get to go to PB??

10:01 am

If this was the $10,000 Pyramid, you'd get disqualified from continuing on.

10:01 am

Eh, no one seems to care about PB violations anymore.

10:02 am

for what?....i don't believe in asterisking parts of words because those parts are in the grid....it just calls attention to the grid words....

10:03 am

unless i am cluing words, of course... ;o)

10:03 am

Yes, but using gr4, even in a part of a word, used to constitute a PB violation. Like I said, no one really plays that game anymore.

10:03 am

One person's clue is another person's penalty.

10:04 am

well i don't believe in cluing when no one has asked for a clue....and asterisking like that is doing that...

10:04 am

Yes, clue blurting...I'm not really sure why people do that.

10:05 am

i don't know...it's irritating...

10:05 am

it's why i avoid chat until i start to hit the wall...

10:08 am

well i am off for now....down to 41....bbl....*waving*

10:09 am

It is irritating. Giving a clue when it's asked for is one thing. Just blurting one out is unnecessary.

10:10 am

Finito!

10:11 am

¸¸.•*¨*• Judi!! ¸¸.•*¨*•

10:13 am

I definitely had to list with this one.

10:13 am

Hmm. 45 minutes to kill before lunch hour. *twiddling thumbs*

10:15 am

*twiddling toes*

10:20 am

Must be a slow day in Law And Order-Ville

10:20 am

It is, actually. Criminals must all be sleeping in today.

10:30 am

Yes, big criminal party last night. They are all sleeping it off. : D

10:50 am

Hey I'm in the grid ..

h'mmph, trying again.. internet connection problems today.. hi all

11:11 am

Heyas Molls and Aloys ..

11:12 am

hi tor (-:

11:19 am

stuck at 35, bbs and think I'll go to the list if I can't see any more.. ttfn, need to check email while I still have internet

gak! like pulling teeth near the end

11:25 am

I try to use asterisks selectively lol

hi ruby

11:26 am

Depends which end you're pulling from ..

11:26 am

hi TO, one of my favorite words is in here an6

11:26 am

ranee

11:27 am

that wasn't it, sorry....Ruby believes in the PB and I'mgoing looking for treats

11:29 am

It is extraordinarily beautiful right now -- the sun is very low and casting yellow light through the raindrops

lovely image

11:30 am

I wish I could share it

i have just resorted to the list. i have a full day and night ahead.

11:31 am

I left pastries for you in the PB, Ruby. : )

ranee

11:32 am

Thank you, I need something sweet but will probably resort to yoghurt and white peach jam

;)

11:32 am

and I have plenty to share, TO

11:33 am

Well, the big mystery of ra5/10 is cleared up.

11:33 am

Oh, sweet mystery of life, we've found you

ty ruby.

i got to 27 and am giving in to clues

11:34 am

That song always makes me think of "Young Frankenstein"

11:36 am

One of the times I saw that movie was in France at an outdoor thing in a small village andnobody got the jokes. Similarly, I saw the Graduate there once and the audience found the scene in the swimming pool hilarious, Humor doesn't translate too well

11:36 am

It's two!

11:36 am

twoo

11:37 am

What the French find funniest is men with lots of facial hair dressing as women

11:37 am

How can the humor of Young Frankenstein not translate? Just looking at Marty Feldman cracks me up.

11:38 am

I will refrain from comment on that, Ruby.

11:38 am

they certainly didn't get "AB Normal" on the grave

11:38 am

Back from BJ's. How come I never spend less than $100 there

11:39 am

what's BJ\'s

11:39 am

That is what happens when you have to buy everything in bulk.

11:41 am

There was an op-ed essay in the NYT either today or yesterday talking about buying food in bulk, whether at big box stores or in fast food restaurants, as being a cause of American obesity.

11:42 am

BJ's is a warehouse store, like Costco. They sell everything in "big" packaging. 24 rolls of toilet paper, 5 pound cans of coffee, etc.

11:43 am

Who has room to store so much?

11:43 am

My husband would love that. Today he bought 6 different kinds of fresh mozzarella.

11:43 am

good morning :)

11:43 am

That is my problem. I don't have an extra freezer, so I'm limited to how much I can store.

11:44 am

Plus it's hard to buy for two, on a budget, at a place like that.

eeek! it's not as if that will keep or can be frozen

11:44 am

We had to buy a little freezer for the garage when my fridge died, but I don't use it now. I tend to lose things in the freezer

11:45 am

and electricity here is insanely expensive

11:46 am

I don't have a lot of storage space for non-perishables either, TO.

11:46 am

husband buys stuff and puts it in the garage, never to be seen again lol

i manage to store too much.

11:47 am

I always wind up with mystery things in the freezer which I ultimately toss

i am going through things little by little. my aterh akept every report card, honor card, and news clipping on us. i am reading them and tossing them.

11:47 am

If I had the room, and an extra freezer, I would be an avid warehouse store shopper. It's really a cost effective way to shop, if you have the money up front.

wow that double f is well hidden today

11:53 am

I only used it once, TO

11:54 am

I disagreed with Frank Bruni's column about big-box food stores. I store, freeze, etc.

11:54 am

Otherwise, do you like the way he writes, Bichon?

11:54 am

aand, the quality of meat, fish and produce at Costco is great

and that is it for me. happy babbling, everyone.

11:55 am

You sound much better organized than I!

11:55 am

bye TO

11:55 am

Yes, read him all the time. He actually was bulemic in college

11:55 am

no kidding!

11:56 am

The International Herald Tribune and The New Yorker are my lifelines

11:56 am

Yes, one of his first works for the Times

11:56 am

I bet ruby, I don't know what I'd do without the Times

11:57 am

ag 7, please?

11:57 am

And the IHT carries the same editorials and op-ed pieces plus the cultural stuff. But I even read the Miami Herald avidly, only getting the N|YT on weekends

ah thanks

5:50 pm

how are you hurshy? how are things?

5:51 pm

stressish. marty started having weird symptom monday night - brain sending electric shocks through his body every minute or less.

5:52 pm

any news from the vet yet? poor boy.

5:52 pm

vets don't really know why. but, luckily it seems to be getting gradually less severe and he's returning to being able to sleep and eat.

5:53 pm

whenever a sick cat begins to eat it's such a relief.

5:54 pm

poor hurshy.

5:54 pm

i'm starting to calm down

5:55 pm

((hurshy))

5:56 pm

Please tell The World's Handsomest Cat we are all rooting for him

5:56 pm

neuro symptoms in people are pretty often undiagnosable and the symptoms relent. I bet he will be back to his normal self.

5:56 pm

He is handsome.

5:57 pm

At least as handsome as my Pinchus...

5:58 pm

thank you all

6:01 pm

Hi stid. How is Babble's newest teacher?

6:02 pm

Tired, bugs, virus #2 in 5 days. I think I am over it, but have a lingering cough and congestion. LOVE the kids, though! Having a great time actually TEACHING instead of only being in charge of keeping someone's kids "safe" and contained...

6:04 pm

Everyone gets sick the first month of school. You will become more immune as years go by. I did find a bottle of hand sanitizer on my desk and asking the janitors to wipe down all the desktops with an antiseptic each night helped a LOT.

6:04 pm

how are you? is the "Ark" buttoned up for the winter yet?

6:05 pm

I asked for antiseptic wipes from the custodian yesterday, but was so tired today that I didn't wipe things down before I left. I will try to leave early tomorrow so I can do it before kids come in for the day.

6:05 pm

and I know what you mean about having your own class. It is easy to love all kids but your own kids are always different.

6:05 pm

zinc

6:05 pm

I have a 7:30 meeting, so I have to be up even earlier...

6:05 pm

ooh! hurshy! you're THE BEST! yes, I could get zinc tablets again. Those have helped in the past.

6:06 pm

the custodian will do it for you since the desks are cleaned anyway. I found them to be the best allies in the school. You get all kinds of free pencils and pens for recycling from what they sweep up.

6:06 pm

what does zinc do?

6:07 pm

boosts your immune system

6:07 pm

We are down TWO custodians! Injuries and such... but the day custodian is an amazing woman who really helps a lot.

6:07 pm

oh, how did I never learn that? thanks!

6:07 pm

and unlike extra vitamin C, it is the only supplement that studies have ACTUALLY shown to be able to shorten the length of a cold or cut it off at the pass if taken early enough.

6:08 pm

it's a micronutrient used to support cell growth, but I don't know how it does it

6:08 pm

you gots to get the chalky tablets that you let dissolve in your mouth, though, not the pills that you just swallow, and not the sugary cough droppy ones. esp if you have a sore throat that you want it to help with. in my experience.

6:08 pm

good to know. When I get a cold I drink orange juice every 20 minutes and just flush it out of me but this sounds better

6:09 pm

the chalky tabs are the only ones I can use anyway...

6:09 pm

I just have to remember where I got them last time!

6:10 pm

more naturally oriented grocery stores, some pharmacies

6:10 pm

AHA! I found the 8! :-D *proud mama look*

6:11 pm

I am tutoring 2 days a week this year since it was so much fun only 1 day last year.

6:11 pm

and there is halfway AND NBT already. Maybe leaving early today was a smart thing! LOL

6:11 pm

good for you, bugs! nice to keep on doing what you love.

6:13 pm

can anyone clue the io 7 for me, please?

6:15 pm

nevermind

6:16 pm

how fishy is it, bugs?

6:17 pm

it is not fishy to me. I used MoreWords. io 7,36

6:17 pm

thanks *thinkng*

6:17 pm

will clue more if needed

6:18 pm

does it build off the charged particle, bugs?

6:18 pm

yes and according to the dictionary, usually has ic on the end

6:20 pm

need more?

6:20 pm

okay... *thinking more*

6:20 pm

I think so...

6:20 pm

yeah i need more help

6:20 pm

6:30 pm

6:31 pm

I got the clue, didn't know he was BR. My brains is fried.

6:53 pm

well thanks anyway :)

6:55 pm

hi rose

6:56 pm

hey joso, received and answered your email.

6:57 pm

good

6:59 pm

DH rolled his eyes...another jigsaw site....yup, i said, should stop me from making demands on your time for a while...he said, that's what i'm afraid of...methinks he is feeling better.

7:04 pm

He is coughing less?

7:05 pm

definitely, he actually was able to sleep most of the night in bed. only got up the once for a little while.

7:06 pm

very good, and how is her ladyship doing

7:07 pm

okay, at the moment, thank-you kind sir. not coughing, sneezing and nose doing as it should.

7:08 pm

what about the ladyship in law?

7:08 pm

a little concerned with kidneys. no pain or anything, but not going as much as i usually do.

7:10 pm

thats very specific, I guess thats the risk of being a medical person, you know all the gory detailo

7:11 pm

*details of what can go wrong.

7:12 pm

yup. mate, emailed you again.

7:14 pm

gotch

7:14 pm

n ow as for MIL, well we are standing back and allowing her daughter to do it all. if anything had happened overnight we would have heard by now. so my guess is she is still with us.

7:16 pm

strange, i just mentioned to himself, perhaps we should ring the hospital to check on the mother. he immediately started coughing....

7:16 pm

hehehe

7:17 pm

something freudian perhaps

7:18 pm

hmm, ya think...lol. a pretty high chance of it being so.

7:19 pm

so what time is it over there? about 8pm? and did you swim today?

7:20 pm

yep, 8. no didn't swim, its getting boring, harder to motivate myself to go.

7:21 pm

hmmm, must send some cabana girls your way them...would that motivate you?

7:23 pm

I don't think I'd want cabana girls until much further on in the swimming program

7:23 pm

* giggle * we are talking motivation here, right?

7:25 pm

If I thought you'd deliver I'd start a 6 month intensive exercise/diet program in anticipation

7:26 pm

you never know, joso, you never know...

7:28 pm

what time is it there, dawn

7:30 pm

no, 10:30am.

7:30 pm

thursday

7:31 pm

thursday morn

7:31 pm

ok, do you know sprite time relitive to you?

7:32 pm

*sprite

7:33 pm

checking now

7:33 pm

that explains my almighty johnsons problem

7:34 pm

don't bother, i can look it up myself

7:35 pm

it's 2:30 am thursday

7:35 pm

so she is about 8 hours behind me

7:36 pm

johnsons problem?

7:37 pm

I download the show, but can never get it on the day listings say it plays, because it runs 14 hours latter than me

7:39 pm

brit shows are 5 hours earlier, and i though oz might be even earlier, but it's later

7:39 pm

ahhh, yes i can see the problem. so you are trying to watch a show which hasn't gone to air yet...very confusing and funny too

7:42 pm

so tell me what the future holds oh mystic voice of the future

7:43 pm

lol....you are going to have a conversation with someone about your swimming..

7:43 pm

and i see cabana girls too

7:44 pm

yea, I have to get back on that horse, don't want to set a bad example for sprite

7:45 pm

she seemed very positive last night (my time).

7:45 pm

I can see them too, just close my eyes and they are there...

7:46 pm

atta boy, now go get 'em....

7:47 pm
