Hi Dianne, nice to have your company

1:18 am

Hi all :)

1:18 am

How have things been with you?

1:18 am

Hi Liz

1:19 am

hi Liz

1:19 am

good thanks Dianne, and you?

1:21 am

greetings friends

1:21 am

No so good. Got back to Hong Kong Monday night and got sick as can be - I think it was food poisoning - I felt like something out of the Exorcist. Better now but not great.

1:21 am

hi there pugs, good to see you

1:21 am

Hi Pugs - hope all's well with you.

1:22 am

Hi Pugs

1:22 am

Poor thing, Dianne - feel better very soon.

1:22 am

oh Dianne, sorry, is there anything worse, yuk

1:22 am

Hi flosey and Liz--I am feeling very well, thank you

1:22 am

Thanks

1:22 am

hope you're soon over it

1:22 am

Hi Dianne, hope you get feeling better too

1:23 am

I was worried that I had gained weight on the trip - no worries now !

1:23 am

but not a nice way to lose

1:24 am

Bit drastic!

1:24 am

yucky way to lose weight though

1:24 am

Well I'll look at is as the silver lining.

1:25 am

once you're over it, you can appreciate the weight loss

1:25 am

hows Liz and flosey

1:25 am

very good, thanks pugs

1:26 am

fine here, thanks.

1:26 am

We got in kind of late in teh evenign and didn't unpack - when I went to bed I started shivering terribly so my husband opened the nearest suitcase and just start piling on jacket over the covers unitl I finally got arm

1:27 am

such a miserable feeling, so glad you're over it

1:28 am

Me too flosey

1:40 am

cooee, and g'day from me

1:41 am

hi there rose

1:41 am

and a good day to you too

1:41 am

Hi Rose - hope you are feeling well today

1:41 am

Hugs and Hi and congrats Rose

1:41 am

Hi Rose

1:41 am

hey flosey. have you had a good day, hun? and liz, girl, how are you? and as always...{{hugs}} for miz pugs

1:43 am

i am hunky dory. down to 2 strong pain meds...surgeon says he doesn't need tosee me except when i am recovering his patients, don has a stick of TNT up his butt, he's flying around doing all sorts of stuff.

1:43 am

yes rose, a very good one - saw dr. this morning and will check back in couple of weeks but had been worried about head having spinning feelings

1:44 am

ah rose, you make me laugh, poor don

1:44 am

ugh, flosey. is it your middle ear? or your antihypertensives?

1:45 am

that's what I was afraid of because one ear was bothersome - buzzing

1:45 am

flosey, it's a delight to see. just like when we were first married pre-MIL

1:45 am

have tinitis anyway

1:45 am

I had a MIL about like yours rose

1:46 am

I wouldn't move to this island until she was no longer here

1:46 am

th4, you know what i mean, flosey.

1:46 am

for sure

1:48 am

anyway, the bad news is that the solicitor has frightened the beejesus out of my brother. has told him if another beneficiary shows up before 6 months is up, and he has already divided up the estate between us, he, my brother will be responsible for finding their share of the estate.

1:49 am

does anyone have a clue for hi8?

1:49 am

Sorry Flosey :(

1:49 am

That's a pain, Rose. Are there likely to be more, Rose?

1:49 am

wow Rose, is it possible that there could be another ?

1:49 am

of course, that is true. but there are no other beneficiaries, apart from us siblings. and the solicitor has had him transfer all the monies into his, the solicitor's account.

1:50 am

yesterday, we had thunderstorm, heavy rain, winter howling winds and snow and then the temps went from 50 to 15 all in one day--lol

1:50 am

wow, what a crazy mixed up day, pugs

1:50 am

So extreme, Pugs.

1:51 am

hi8, hi*, stashed away from sight + plural of my name

1:51 am

like all four seasons in one day--lol

1:51 am

Thank you - wouldn't have found that in a million years!

1:51 am

hey pugs, that's what you get here in melbourne. come on over, you'll feel right at home...lol

1:52 am

now change the last vowel for other hi8

1:52 am

MW to the rescue - strange words,

1:52 am

Thanks again :)

1:52 am

ty Rose

1:52 am

ah, didn't see you clue rose, used mw

1:53 am

BBL

1:53 am

so the upshot is, if my bro doesn't divvie up the estate now, i can't retire until auguat...* really sad face*

1:53 am

bye Liz

1:54 am

excessive sweat!!!

1:54 am

see ya, liz

1:54 am

yuck Rose

1:54 am

bye Liz

1:55 am

can you contact the Solicitor to see what's holding things up?

1:55 am

well it will be mid-july before i can think about it anyway. so not too long after that. but it puts paid to the UK in september. *sigh*

1:56 am

ah, but you will have UK to look forward to

1:56 am

flosey, i think he just wants to play with our money, make himself an easy few thousands of dollars.

1:56 am

well theres not much you can do about it but wait it out

1:57 am

hello everyone. Rose who gets the interest the money earns while in his account and how do you get access to that account? Why don't you talk with another attorney.

1:57 am

yup, pugs. and that's just what will happen. honestly, my bro is so up in the clouds. don had a good chat with him last night, and was a little more matter-of-fact than the solicitor.

1:58 am

sounds like good advice mfd

1:58 am

Hi bf

1:58 am

hi pugs

1:58 am

whats your other brothers think about it

1:59 am

my point exactly, bfdeele. am gonna talk to my little bro and give him the facts of life. i don't want that money any where that weasel. ( apologies to any solitors in hearing)

2:00 am

i will probably send out a family email, inviting them in to chat about it.

2:00 am

sounds strange that he control - seems to me the lawyer should control it until assurred of no other siblings or ?

2:01 am

flosey, the money is in the SOLICITOR'S account. where he can manipulate it, invest it, whatever he likes.

2:01 am

oh, think I have it mixed up, so not your bro who has the money - sorry rose, my mistake

2:02 am

I am really not disagreeing with you, flosey, but why should the money be in the solicitor's account when he is not the executor of the will?

2:02 am

are you sure the solicitor can do that? legally?

2:02 am

and that's what makes me uncomfortable. i don't know him from adam.

2:03 am

but you do know the total amount? I hope, since you don't seem to know if he is trustworthy?

2:03 am

but you do know the total amount? I hope, since you don't seem to know if he is trustworthy?

2:03 am

Also, the solicitor should have to make an accounting to the exector and heirs as to what he is doing with the money. I would get another solicitor and sue the one who took the money.

2:04 am

think there should be someone you could ask about it

2:04 am

agree bfd, ask a solicitor you know you can trust

2:04 am

flosey, there are quite a few loop-holes in our laws. we read of them being abused all the time. yes we know what the amount is...but why should the solicitor be getiting the monies from interest earned when the money should be in a trust account in the family name

2:05 am

I don't understand that rose, any money gained should stay with the family estate

2:05 am

or an impartial solicitor. now that's a thought. a solicitor provided by the government service...hmmm

2:05 am

Do you know of anyone else who had a sizeable amount of money to distribute by the executor where a solicitor took the money. And I agree with you grannyrose, This sounds so bad to me.

2:07 am

flosey, the money is in the solicitor's account, in HIS name. and the more i think about it, the scareder i get.

2:07 am

sounds fishy to me rose, the lawyer is holding out in case there are other heirs - surely all heirs would have been mentioned in a will?

2:08 am

Pugs, we have had your weather today. The temp dropped over fifteen degrees in two hours and we have wind snow and rain. and tomorrow it will be only about twenty degrees. what a mess. will spring ever get here?

2:08 am

exactly, flosey. we are talking about my mother, brought up by a victorian disciplinarian. don't think she strayed from the nest.

2:09 am

Iam wondering the same thing bf--lol

2:09 am

it is my mother's estate, not mother and dad's. my mother would have had to have had other kids...lol...like that happened.

2:10 am

What other heirs could there be? Maybe all of you could go see the solicitor as a group and present your questions and concerns to him and see what he says. He sounds as if he thinks you all are dumb bunnies and can't see what he is doing. Also consider contacting the tv stations who do investigating news stories. I would find out all I could about this solicitor. Just does not sound right.

2:12 am

thanx bfd. i will do just that. i feel it's very sneaky. he is playing on my brother's total innocence of the ways of the world.

2:13 am

good advice bfd

2:15 am

so unfair to think that this is the last gift your Mother is giving to her children and this s.o.b. is taking advantage of the situation. I would go to his office every day and sit in his waiting room and warn people about how unethical he is and dare him to throw me out. Or walk up and down in front of his office with a sign saying what a crook he is. what a crock of s..;

2:16 am

Am now getting down off my soapbox and finishing my word list. Hope everyone is well and warm or cool and having a good day.

2:17 am

he may threaten to call police - ha, let him and he won't want that hassle going on in his waiting room

2:17 am

hope you are the same bf

2:18 am

but very good advice bfd

2:19 am

again thanx, bfd. it's nice to have how i feel validated, and not poo-pooed.

2:20 am

down to 86 words but now must get to bed, goodnight all

2:20 am

night Flosey, take care

2:20 am

you are a real stayer, flosey. thanx for your input also. i hope you sleep well.

2:21 am

agree rose, and pugs - and bfd for the great advice

2:21 am

goodnight all

2:21 am

pugs do you plant a vegetable garden in the spring? I used to. Grew up in the country in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest and we grew veggies, and would dress out chickens for the freezer and fished for catfish and froze those also. Wish I could do that again. Mighty fine eating.

2:22 am

goodnight flosey.

2:22 am

hubby does, I dont mess with it ---its his thing

2:23 am

at least he's good for something, pugs

2:23 am

I was just typing that rose

2:24 am

guess so but hes selfesh with the stuff

2:24 am

what does he do with it?]

2:25 am

we got 3 40lb bags of potatoes from fall and instead of letting me give friends and family some, they sit rotting

2:25 am

I just dont understand that at all

2:26 am

we use most of it

2:26 am

oh, for goodness sake, what an ar******!!

2:26 am

He is really going to have a day of reckoning, isn't he?]

2:27 am

I would think

2:28 am

Hang in there pugs. we are all praying for you. I have friends in two prayer circles and they are praying for you and your sister everyday. There will be better days.

2:29 am

Iam not like that, I rather someone get some use from the stuff---but to keep from having a battle I just throw my hands up and let him take care of it all

2:30 am

thank you bf, thats very nice of you and your friends

2:30 am

you are right to do that. if you agree with him about that it will take all the enjoyment for him to keep the stuff for himself. smart lady, you are.

2:31 am

that's lovely bfd. thanx from me also. it's nice to kinow people all over the world are praying for you. i know...it happened for me last december. it was magical.

2:31 am

they are in the back bedroom with him smelling--lol

2:33 am

rose, you are on my prayer list also, sprite, and lizlin, and some others from babbleland. Prayer is powerful and I would not be here today without it.

2:33 am

Must get up and stretch my back. will be back later.

2:33 am

you are so right bf---is there something we could pray for, for you

2:34 am

brb need some coffee

2:43 am

what are you having for supper tonight Rose

2:54 am

sorry, back. was answering some emails. we are having steamed vegetables and garlic chicken kievs.

2:56 am

Rose, I think that pain shot they gave me at the er is what was making me feel so weak--yesterday I felt fine

3:00 am

it's a bit late for side effects, pug. what else is happening?

3:01 am

nothing, I feel great--but those few days afterwards I just felt drained

3:02 am

pugs, sweetie. of course you did. it was a tremendous strain on you physically. all that pain!!!

3:04 am

and then we could talk about the adrenaline released by your own body, in order for you to cope with the high levels of pain. my darling....just relax, let it flow...you are going to be okay.

3:04 am

well the hernia is back out as it was but no pain like it was

3:07 am

are you going to the pool

3:09 am

pugs, was wondering. do you have a truss? an appliance which gives you support whilst keeping the hernia reduced?

3:09 am

you mean that thing thats like a straight jacket--lol

3:09 am

tomorrow morning, pugs. *groan* pray for me, hun. that my determination holds out...

3:10 am

okay will do Rose

3:10 am

yes, dear. and you do need to put it on, so that it helps you...lol

3:11 am

If I can find it----it makes me sick to my stomach just having my clothes up against it

3:15 am

what a friggin shyte of a day (sorry for swearing) hubby has to go in for an angiogram tomorrow and now dtr and her 3 kiddos where in a car accident...Mum and eldest are being assessed in hosp...other two are fine....grrrrrr

3:16 am

pugs, dear...please...use it....and when you do, think of me...with my leg wrapped in a splint, made of nylon and velcro...in the height of our summer.

3:16 am

oh...diz....you poor dear. is there anything we can do for you?

3:17 am

ahh Diz,,you poor thing

3:17 am

but our (alphabet) kiddo is really worried so him and his Dad are staying close by.

3:17 am

Rose, I will try to find it, I promise

3:18 am

LOL Rose....come and get me.

3:18 am

and the other 2 kiddos? are they okay? and is diz going to have to step into the breach?

3:20 am

3:22 am

3:23 am

good morning all :)

3:24 am

3:24 am

3:25 am

3:26 am

3:26 am

just had a phone call....dtr and g/dtr are on their way home...bit stiff sore and sorry, so a long rest day tomorrow for them...apparently a truck hit their rear and pushed them into the car in front....all the kiddos where worried about were their school bags in the boot. All safe.

3:27 am

It sounds like we're a bunch of walking wounded in different ways. I'm glad we have each other for prayers and support

3:27 am

I love the book, Sprite---so very nice of you to send it to me

3:28 am

Hi again Glad that family is ok, Diz and hope all goes well for your hubby tomorrow.

3:28 am

welcome back Liz

3:28 am

Hi and hugs sprite and ruby

3:29 am

3:29 am

hi Liz! *hugs* How are you, dear friend?

3:29 am

3:29 am

I'm really well. Sorry you've not been too good, sprite.

3:30 am

{{ruby}} and {{sprite}} love you both to pieces.

3:30 am

oh, nothing to worry about, Liz, jus overdid things physically and it takes a couple of days to get back to normal.

3:30 am

*hugs* right back at ya, rose, and the feeling is mutual

3:30 am

Look after yourself - all of you!

3:31 am

and it makes me happy to see you are really well, Liz :)

3:31 am

Feel a bit sheepish saying it!

3:31 am

liz, and sprite...surgeon's opinion is that his job is done. now up to me and physio to get me back to work.

3:32 am

it makes me happy having you all as friends :)

3:32 am

woooooot rose! That is so good.

3:32 am

Like I said, just don't overdo it. Take as long as you need.

3:32 am

3:32 am

3:35 am

yay, sprite...you are amazing.

3:35 am

me? Why am I amazing?

3:36 am

I bet she thought you were down to 2 words-lol

3:37 am

oh lollllllllll no I am not, 239 left here. I meant down to 2 pain meds a day is awesome.

3:38 am

but you can still have the amazing title for you are that

3:39 am

lol, thank you *hug*

3:40 am

Iam reading about wren and maggie now, Sprite----Liz are you still reading the DH's

3:41 am

ugh...yeah, i did think that, pugs. but you know...even without that...sprite is amazing...lol

3:41 am

oh! That is awesome. I love wren so much.

3:41 am

lol rose :D

3:41 am

I'm on the same book, pugs.

3:41 am

man you're fast Liz

3:41 am

oh great, Liz!

3:41 am

Loving them especially the last few where more info is being revealed.

3:42 am

got that wrong, pugs. our liz is very feminine...

3:42 am

oh you guys will love the book about Acheron so much

3:42 am

I cant wait to read his story

3:43 am

Yes, I'm a fast reader but I don't absorb all the details, so gre4 books over and over and get many different things from them each time.

3:43 am

Lol Rose!

3:43 am

Rose should get into the Dh stories

3:43 am

That should be I re4 books over!

3:43 am

lol, pugs...forgive me...but doesn't one have to be awake to read???

3:44 am

I guess it would help--lol

3:44 am

most people, yeah. But you are superrose... I bet you can do it asleep.

3:44 am

liz, absolutely.

3:44 am

I think they would keep you awake though

3:45 am

oh, dear. LOLOL sprite, you are the limit>>

3:45 am

;)

3:46 am

Sprite in the last book of the DH's does she leave you hanging on the story line

3:46 am

no she doesn't, pug

3:47 am

good, ty

3:47 am

I just don't want to get to the end of the series - that's the problem with reading fast - so I'm reading them 5 at a time and then reading something else in between!

3:47 am

hahaha I love it, Liz

3:48 am

i met our new perioperative services manager today...she is sooo young. oh, well.

3:48 am

Iam wanting to read the hunger games series

3:48 am

haven't read those yet either, pug, have them waiting for me here.

3:49 am

did she seem to know her job Rose

3:49 am

going to get the meds ready. brb

3:49 am

okay Rose

3:49 am

maybe she is young enough to not be set in her ways yet, rose.

3:50 am

I think that's happening everywhere - younger managers coming in. Perhaps it's just me getting older!

3:50 am

please let me know if they are worth getting-if you would please Sprite

3:51 am

that was quick. There were some children and a strange dog in the road and puppy wanted to come hoe. She is very shy

3:51 am

lol reminds me of school children the world over... when they go to high school, they feel so tall and grownup. And then when they are a few years older, they claim the 'babies' are shorter and younger every year!

3:51 am

Pugs, have you read any of Anne McCaffrey? My fav author.

3:51 am

will do, pug. Don't spend money on it, it will work out.

3:52 am

Very true, sprite.

3:52 am

I dont think so Liz

3:52 am

the whole pern series, Liz, for me. Awesome books.

3:52 am

Love her Dragonriders of Pern series - awesome.

3:52 am

and To Ride Pegasus... also a wonderful book.

3:52 am

Also like the Rowan trilogy and Crystal Singer.

3:53 am

here at the second hand store, I can pick up alot of older books at a small price

3:53 am

oh yeah, the Crystal Singer series, forgot that was from her as well.

3:53 am

Of course - that too. Wasn't too keen on Decision at Doona.

3:53 am

hm I don't think I have read that one

3:53 am

Liz, have you read anything by Mercedes Lackey? She is one of my favorite writers.

3:53 am

Don't bother!

3:54 am

No, don't know her at all.

3:54 am

hehehe ok, I won't bother reading that one

3:55 am

Just looked at her on Amazon Kindle - looks like my sort of thing!

3:55 am

will drop you some files in the dropbox, Liz

3:55 am

That'd be awesome. Thanks.

3:56 am

Oh and of course I love McCaffrey's brain/brawn ship books too.

3:57 am

So in fact I guess it becomes obvious that's why she's my favourite author.

3:57 am

oh yes :)

3:58 am

Oh well. It's that time! 98 left and dinner's almost ready, so I've only got a minute or so more here.

3:59 am

3:59 am

4:02 am

yep, seem so--lol

4:03 am

its nice to see you back on Sprite---I miss you when you arnt

4:04 am

I love spending time with you, pug. Am sorry I cannot always make it.

4:04 am

is the peace treaty still going on between your men

4:04 am

hellooooo

4:04 am

I know you cant Sprite

4:05 am

yeah, looks like it. They were both away for the weekend so they didn't spend much time in eachother's company.

4:05 am

Re Hi Ruby

4:05 am

hi ruby, welcome back

4:05 am

Shhhhh ((hugs)) Sprite and Pug, then sneaks back to the grid

4:05 am

hey mel :) *hugs*

4:05 am

hugs mel

4:06 am

tomorrow we have the final group meeting for family counselling. Hope we can wrap it up then.

4:07 am

I hope all goes well for you all

4:07 am

do you think it has helped

4:08 am

can you imagine the time I will have on my hands soon? No more family counselling, no more group... am so gonna love it!

4:08 am

yes it has helped, pug, a lot even. We have the tools to make it work for us now.

4:09 am

the right tools are important and so glad for you all. So what are you going to do with all that free time? Work on your book?

4:10 am

oh, btw, next week I won't be home much. Monday group, and tuesday through thursday super/intervision course from my counselling training.

4:10 am

I really should make that a priority, pug. Have let it slack again since I got the flu :(

4:10 am

:( What a whole week without you

4:11 am

am afraid so :(

4:12 am

well its for the good for you---but will miss you thats for sure

4:12 am

will miss you too, darling. Wish I could take you with me!

4:16 am

you know the craft placemats Carol got me...Iam going to sew them together(like a quilt) and make a wall hanging out of them

4:17 am

oh wow pug, that sounds amazing!

4:17 am

I think it will look nice like that

4:18 am

yes, certainly sounds nice, and so creative.

4:19 am

In the little town south of me, a father was cleaning his rifle and left the room for a sec and one of his kids shot the 13 year old and killed him---the second death of a kid in the same town this month--really sad

4:20 am

omg that is so so horrible! And so irresponsible... when will people learn that firearms are dangerous!

4:21 am

I know, so stupid

4:22 am

thats a terrible guilt to have to live with

4:22 am

am glad fire arms are prohibited by law here, to be honest. If you want one, you have to apply for a permit and you can only use them at a shooting range then. No carrying guns here unless you really need to for your job.

4:23 am

pug, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Not sure I could handle such a burden.

4:23 am

yeah me either

4:27 am

good grid today, so many series :)

4:27 am

its not bad at all

4:29 am

did you get to do yesterday's

4:29 am

yes, I did

4:30 am

it was a small one, but I got all of them but 2 and had to ask for one clue

4:31 am

OO, will be happier with this one today---he dont like the little ones

4:31 am

oh wow, well done pug!

4:31 am

the little ones don't keep him occupied for long enough, I guess.

4:32 am

cause hes too smart, like you

4:32 am

lol

4:34 am

quite a few babblets today

4:35 am

you are going to be really wiped out next week

4:37 am

yes I know, but it is so worth it, pug. The best place to be is there, and such great company. I will come back all charged up for the rest of the year.

4:38 am

it is for you to heal I know

4:41 am

it is the yearly reunion of all people who have finished the coaching training there, pug. We will learn more, help eachother, get to ask questions. And Hein Stufkens, our teacher, is such a wonderful person. As is his wife, who is a personal friend of mine.

4:43 am

it sounds like it will be very nice for you. Is your girlfriend in this too

4:45 am

no, Brigitte isn't part of the group, but she is around to keep things going smoothly. And I get to go out for dinner with her on Tuesday, before it all starts! And I have a personal session with Hein too, like therapy, but more personal because he is a friend.

4:46 am

well I hope you enjoy it all!...:)

4:47 am

I will :) Of everything I could possibly do, this is my favorite.

4:48 am

Carol, has been nagging me to come and spend a night with her, so Iam thinking of doing so maybe sunday or monday night if the weather is going to be okay

4:48 am

you need some fun time out with friends

4:49 am

oh that sounds so good, pug, you should do that!

4:50 am

I will --- if its going to be nice out

4:50 am

are you worried about your sister if you should go?

4:51 am

no--it will just be overnight

4:51 am

and she wont go

4:51 am

awesome! Just what you need.

4:53 am

we have fun together just doing nothing--lol

4:53 am

yes, and being away from it all, and no obligations or responsibilites, just you and your friend and a glass of wine and lots of fun

4:54 am

well no wine but yes to the rest

4:56 am

hehehe a glass of juice then, or water

4:57 am

more like coffee or pop--lol....once in a while during camping town her and I might get some winecoolers but thats about it on the boozing--lol

4:57 am

or something I used to enjoy when my friends came visiting: a huge pot of tea on the table, on a stove.

4:58 am

no need for alcohol to have a good time, pug :)

4:58 am

I meant time not town and almost reset time

4:59 am

I dont care for the taste of alcohol nor beer

4:59 am

I really love beer, don't care for wine or stronger spirits. But I can't drink alcohol anymore, I have medication that doesn't go well with alcohol so I don't drink it anymore.

5:04 am

besides not caring for the taste, I've seen too much damage of boozing it up

5:05 am

oh god yes. Too much alcohol is so damaging in all ways.

5:07 am

I get scared and panicy when around someone thats had too much

5:07 am

no wonder, pug, you have been on the receiving end of the damage too often.

5:08 am

Rose must be having a five course dinner--lol

5:08 am

lolollll maybe Don was the dessert

5:09 am

LOL, could be

5:09 am

she does have a naughty side--lol

5:10 am

hehehe I love that about her

5:10 am

she wouldnt be Rose without it

5:10 am

very true, lol. Fireflies for me.

5:11 am

yeah! congrats

5:13 am

you have a super-duper day Sprite and hope to see you in the morn. Iam taking a break for awhile from this myself

5:14 am

*hugs pugs* you too, darling, and know that I will be thinking of you.

5:15 am

thanks Sprite, as I will you

5:16 am

hugs and good night Rose----and OO, if you are out there, thinking of you, please take care

7:01 am

hello, back from lunch and hunting for the 8, any 8!

7:01 am

Hi Ruby - nu 8 - the oddest or maddest

7:01 am

or chocolate with the most not fruit but nu4

7:02 am

ty lizlin

7:02 am

pe 8 - the most irritating - builds from pe 4

7:02 am

pestiest

7:03 am

whoops, sorry, will face away

7:03 am

hi 8 - hi + consonant + pl of Grannyr's name

7:03 am

Not a problem for me!

7:03 am

Then change the final vowel for another 8

7:04 am

di 8 - similar in meaning to the nu 8

7:04 am

wow, many thanks, lizlin

7:04 am

se 8 - lets the most water through - builds on se 4

7:05 am

then the 8 - the littlest one

7:05 am

Not sure how many I've clued here but I've got all the 8's - bit short on 7s though!

7:06 am

ti 8 - the drunkest

7:06 am

un 8 - someone for whom you've no sympathy is un 8

7:06 am

I think that's all of them - don't know how helpful the clues are though!

7:07 am

8:27 am

Owl, How are you?

8:27 am

looking forward to Saturday

blech

8:28 am

blech, I dont like..flu?

yes, i am going to stay over. i wil be tired after driving up from md

8:28 am

Annie, I thought of you yesterday when I heard about the explosion. That must have brought back bad memories for New York folks.

not flu. rsv i think

8:29 am

yes Molly - first thoughts are always the scariest when you see buildings obliterated like that

8:29 am

Molly, it certainly did. It unnerved me even I am miles away. Those poor people.

8:29 am

Owl, Hope you are up and dancing soon.

8:29 am

JBV, nice to see you

8:30 am

Hi Annie

8:30 am

yes, me too miles away, but right there

yes. a spate of residential gas exposions...it is the extreme weather taxing aged infrastructure. poor people

idrove by the ewing one the day after. horrible

8:31 am

I have a friend on W158 Street and she felt tremors

8:31 am

you know it's interesting, we think of all those people homeless, but yesterday in the news coverage I didn't hear any mention of that - it was all about the fire, debris, train disruption etc

wow

8:31 am

It happened at 116th St and Park Aven

and annie, i will be there if i have to crawl

the red cross is helping them. they got out with nothing but their lives

8:32 am

that's the heart of El Barrio - I know it well - they were calling it Harlem on the news, but it's East Harlem

8:32 am

The sad thing is, people were complaining for weeks about gas smells in that building and nothing was done.

8:33 am

omg - is that true?

molly, i heard that as well. i wondered if they called con ed...no one mentioned that excpet the man who called that AM

8:33 am

I heard on TV that the only complaint to Con Ed was 15 minutes before the explosion

and even he said he smelled it in weeks before.

8:36 am

http://tinyurl.com/q7sy4vr

i have seen the aftremath of two gas explosions up close. there is nothing like it. there is nothing left. nothing.

8:38 am

Of course the gas & electric head honchos are denying this.

8:38 am

A quick hello to my Babble buddies! I miss you.

8:39 am

hi Scrabbs, where have you been?

hello scrabs. hope you are on the mend.

does the screen hurt your eyes?

8:39 am

Oh no, Scrabbs not well?

8:40 am

hello Scrabs - what happened?

8:40 am

Yesterday was a good day for me. Annie--concussion with amnesia on Fri. Headache and brain fog, etc, for 3 days after.

8:40 am

OMG, How did that happen?

8:41 am

I followed cognitive rest rule for 4 days.

8:42 am

XC-skiing. Ended up in warming hut with broken glasses, abrasions on face, confusion, and no memory of how I got there. Called friend, went to hospital.

8:42 am

oh, hi scrabbler, so sorry to hear that

8:43 am

hi folks

8:43 am

Scrabs, you're better

hey welk

8:43 am

Thank God you are on the mend, scrabbs

8:43 am

I should leave now, I don't want to challenge my eyes and brain too much. But I miss being here. I will check in tomorrow.

8:43 am

morning, welki

8:43 am

quick fix of babble before i head out to the airport :)

8:43 am

rest, rest, rest

yay!

8:43 am

Take care Scrabs

8:43 am

Hi and bye, my friends.

8:44 am

8:44 am

bye scrabbs, take care of yourself

bye, scrabs.

8:47 am

take care, scrabs

8:48 am

halfway, NBT and NBS - time for a breakfast break

8:49 am

for those in babble who love the SF genre of books, I have a new and very interesting post in my profile for today( it was too long to post here)

8:55 am

Good morning, fellow humans!

8:55 am

howdy judi

8:56 am

hi judy and hi crossy

8:58 am

Reading back in chat. Poor Scrabbs! Skiing is bad for you

8:59 am

was funny, the book I am talking about in my post is one I have never read before even though it is a big award winner. In the book the writer was talking about the protagonist hoarding spare radio tubes, so I had to stop and look up some info on the novel and it seems it was written in 1949! lol

9:00 am

I missed that. what happened to scrabby?

9:00 am

morning all!

9:00 am

oops, forgot to update my icon, brb

9:00 am

suze!!

9:00 am

8:42 in chat , skiing accident

9:01 am

got it. wow. she must have taken a hard fall to have no memory of her getting to the warming hut

9:03 am

Methinks she met abruptly with a tree.

9:05 am

I would tend to agree , either that or she fell and hit her head on some ice

9:08 am

we had a friend of ours staying at a hotel we used to run about 15 years ago and he go into his car and drove out the driveway and onto the road, but it seems he had forgotten something in the back of the mini-van and as he got out and went to walk to the back of the van he fell and hit his head on some ice on the side of the road.. poor guy was dead almost before my da and I could run to him from the front door to where he lay in the road

9:08 am

Dang! That's freaky.

9:09 am

what was worse was the ten minutes of chest compression and breathing we did on him before the ambulance showed up. It was only afterwards that we were told that he had dies almost inhstantly

9:10 am

died* instantly**

9:11 am

cpr is HARD I was gasping and needed some O2 treatment when they showed up

9:12 am

now they say all chest compression and no breaths at all

9:13 am

Did you know that CPR no longer includes breaths? Med experts advise that chest compressions move enough air in an out of the lungs. The primary concern should be re-establishing a heartbeat.

9:13 am

Guh. Must type faster.

9:18 am

lol

9:19 am

babble had a hiccup

9:20 am

ok, son came home, babble hiccuped, and now we are off to the cancer support group (since the psychological effects don't go away when the cancer does). bbl!

9:20 am

But I did get my new icon up :-)

9:21 am

Morning All

9:22 am

no, one must deal with the aftermath for a long , long time ,suze

9:23 am

no, one must deal with the aftermath for a long , long time ,suze

9:23 am

Hello

10:14 am

liz for example likes them in the 400+ range

10:14 am

yes, i can

10:14 am

and you can change the bg colour if the puzzle has a lot of white pieces

10:16 am

didn't know all that at jigidi, started there but went to the other

i have one pic to add soon. Last time mrs and i were on the hill, we caught a bunch of wild turkey and white tailed deer foraging for apples as a team under the apple trees

10:17 am

oh, lovely, I must look for those

10:19 am

10:20 am

yesterday we were playing music at a nuring home and there is a field across from their parking lot - flock of 10 - 12 wiold turkeys in the field

10:20 am

10:20 am

i keep seeing the word apetite

10:20 am

they are all so beautiful in the wild, one day when I was out walking, I saw a tiny baby right on a driveway (seldom used) - the mother left it right on the roadway and ran away (presumably still watching me) she came back when I was sitting still

10:20 am

Ru, funny how you show up when the conversation turns to sheep : P

10:21 am

lol, he was just over the fence, I'd let them know if he was on the lawn - don't enjoy what they leave behind

11:56 am

what is it Trif, hubby's right here

11:57 am

everyone's hands shoot up

11:57 am

if 27% of a given amount is 383, what is the full given amount?

11:57 am

Im useless at math, unfortunately

11:57 am

oh, I can do that.. with a calculator

11:58 am

how? is it just 383 times 63?

11:58 am

I hath returneth. I got thrown out when the Babble Server had a tantrum.

11:58 am

ah, there you are

11:58 am

.27x = 383, so x = 383/.27

11:58 am

shoot, 73...see "im useless at math"

11:59 am

so, 1418 is the full amount, or do you have to then add the 383 on?

11:59 am

1418.5?

11:59 am

*head explodes*

12:05 pm

OH, hey there enable....I can assure you, "pissier" is a word, and it gets more than a fair use here in Boston!

12:05 pm

when you are stuck, turn it into something easy, like .25 of some number is 100.. so then you know that 25% of 400 is 100

12:05 pm

ok trif, then iest should also work

By Zoom, tc and sweet dreams:)

4:34 pm

L, the fact that you are okay being who you are is one of my favorite things about you. Don't ever change, please.

4:35 pm

FW and hadn all

4:35 pm

I'm not good with computors.now i'm diving in to find my last 109 words..not many and i seem to have killed the chat as normal when i'm on:)

Hmm, hadn...have a damn night, have a dirty night, have a delightful night?

4:36 pm

Thank you Molly..means alot.hugs to you:D

4:37 pm

Yay Bichon:)

4:37 pm

I must admit Molly, i don't know that one

4:38 pm

I think it was just a typo. I was having fun with it.

4:40 pm

L, my favorite people are the ones who are authentic and true to themselves. I tend to step around the ones who are all fake-like and flowery.

4:40 pm

Aye, i think it should have been a g, but i'm still not good with single letter speech.my daughter puts kk, when i text her?

4:41 pm

Blech, I can't stand that one. How hard is it to type "okay"?

4:43 pm

After i wrote about the drowning noises i didn't want to show it as there might have been people here that have lost loved ones drowning...i do tend to think of others that i'll upset even though i don't technically know people here properly

4:43 pm

ok would be alright to me but kk?what's that mean?

4:44 pm

It's that weird, hinky text speak that people use. It doesn't mean anything.

4:45 pm

I've upset enough with my arse:) i have a cheeky and i am who i am side also a 'don't want to upset people side' it must be the gemini in me

4:48 pm

i do some text speech as it is better for my fingers...am diving in again:) see you in 10 seconds:)

4:52 pm

As I said, I like who you are L. Cheeky gnome and all.

4:55 pm

Begob n begorrah, top o the evenin' to yiz all, to be sure to be sure. :-p

4:57 pm

oy! hi, just realized it's the ides.

4:57 pm

and my eyes are not wiring together me lad.

4:58 pm

Soodle, the BEST Tullamore Dew commercial EVER. Be sure to watch it to the end. http://tinyurl.com/qccpaeh

4:59 pm

I saw it Molls. Too cool.

4:59 pm

*working.

5:00 pm

I think it should be played at every bachelor party.

5:00 pm

Mixi- should we be scared? Ides etc?

5:01 pm

Hi Soodle:D, sorry cat wanted to be fed

5:01 pm

Hi Mixi :)

5:02 pm

Diving back in:)

5:02 pm

L, you need to work on this "pleasing people" thing. It's okay to feed your cat and say hi when you can. : P

5:02 pm

Hey, Lil. I totally understand a hungry cat takes priority!!! Lol

5:04 pm

i can't help it, i was brought up to be polite and say sorry when i didn't reply when i was spoken to

5:05 pm

I left work this afternoon, & said ' see you next Wednesday'. I have the next 5 days off. Yoo-hoo.

5:05 pm

Yay...enjoy hin

5:08 pm

Soodle, I should have known. That commercial has probably been all over Facebook ten thousand times by now.

5:08 pm

Cat first before babble...never!! LOL.. but husband sat down playing patience on his laptop...that's obviously more important!!

5:08 pm

Patience??

5:09 pm

Also called solitaire i think Molly

5:12 pm

Molly, I could swear I sent you a link to that commercial a few months ago. If I didn't, I surely meant to. Its a lovely commercial.

5:12 pm

Saying that, i can't complain as this week he's been busy doing work in our front garden and has worked hard power washing our block paving

5:16 pm

That commercial probably annoys a lot of women. But it's true to the camaraderie of men, before they all leave the "boys club" to marry.

5:16 pm

I'm in a tizzy at the moment. Really scary damp patches have begun appearing on my bedroom ceiling. One part of me is saying 'Ignore - they will go away'. The sensible part of me is saying 'Shit! The ceiling might collapse in on top of you'.

hiya cheeky

5:17 pm

Oh damn, I had such high hopes for the "strange things are going on in the Soodle boudoir" comment a few days ago.

really.

5:19 pm

Hi TO :D.How are you Hin? I hope you've managed to get rid of your cold

not really. but better. i will NOT miss the weekend

5:20 pm

Soodle, only if you're Julius Ceasar.

5:21 pm

Sorry to hear that TO.What's happening this weekend?

date and babble meetup

5:22 pm

Phew, mix! Julius Ceasar I'm not,

5:22 pm

Soodle, that's not good, we get it in our bathroom but that's because of the roofs over them and we have very thin walls.what is over your bedroom?

5:23 pm

Soodle, if the ceiling bulges,it probably has standing water and it could get too heavy. otherwise until it is so soaked that it starts falling apart, it probably(not guaranteed) won't fall.

5:24 pm

To, lucky you :) well, i hope the date goes well.have you been on a date with the lucky gentleman before? i would love to go on a babble meet up.i've only met one babbler here and she's lovely and we are good friends now

that is so nice, lil. i may be travelling this summer and i would love to meet some of you.

5:25 pm

It won't fall in Soodle, it just means you ahve damp somewhere

it is feast or famine; two things in conflict this weekend. some weekends there is nothing

5:25 pm

I'm coping with this crisis like I cope with most other crises. Putting fingers in ears and singing 'Wah wah wah'

soodle: with water, that is dangerous.

5:27 pm

Blah blah blah, TO! I want to hear about your date....

5:27 pm

To,If you are coming here, i would love to meet up with you.You'll have to let us know where

which one?

5:28 pm

Water spots on the ceiling mean leaking pipes. Wah, wah, wah all you want.

well, lil, so far only discussion, no plan. but my passport is in the worls

5:28 pm

It sounds like damp Soodle,it doesn't mean your ceiling is going to fall in...take a breath!! :) but it does need to be looked at

it only gets worse.

5:29 pm

More than one date TO? You lucky lady:D

5:29 pm

What happened to the plumber boyfriend? He could be handy at the moment.

yes. date a tradesman, i say.

well lil, more than one sdate but only one man

5:30 pm

Leaking pipes are good. That means house insurance covers damage.

5:31 pm

Alas, I know wives of mechanics who never get their cars repaired.

5:31 pm

OOhhh, sounds good TO.what's he like? does he dance aswell?

moll, i will be at blobs tomorrow

he does. he teaches dance.

5:31 pm

Soodle, not if the ceiling falls on your head...who's going to do the insurance claim?

5:32 pm

Good weather predicted for around these parts tomorrow. High of 56. Good day for outside park fun.

5:32 pm

Well, TO, it sounds like a match made in Heaven:)

i think it is in the beer garden. and we are going to the last night, it is a wedding reception for max.

we are going to firnk that bar dry.

drink.

5:33 pm

Can somebody please rewind? I missed all theTO romance.....

lol not a big deal, r eally

i met someone in sept but we recently started dating.

5:36 pm

Good for you TO, have a drink for all us babblers who like alcohol especially Soodle as i think she needs them, plus after all the tales she's told us she could drink us all under the table :)

lol too bad you are not nearer, soods

okie dokie, time to get moving. it is so cold and windy i hate to leave the house again. but i must. see you all later.

5:39 pm

Bye TO, if i don't see you before.i hope your date with your boyfriend goes well:) plus i hope you enjoy the Babble meet-up, asweel as the other Babblerr. take care hugs :D

(lil)

5:40 pm

5:44 pm

5:45 pm

Oh L, you are loverly ♥

5:47 pm

Hi Molly...how is your weather?

5:48 pm

I Know, i can't help it:D

5:49 pm

Jilly! Your icon..... What can I say? Sublime!

5:49 pm

Why thank you soodle....one 'o these days we WILL sit in a pub together!

5:51 pm

The bairn and i want to go to Ireland..hubby is there in about 4 weeks

5:51 pm

We will come and annoy you one day Soodle:)

5:52 pm

I now have a friend in Dublin as well as Soodle, so all I need to do is win the lottery!

5:52 pm

And Molly has been flying fantastic icons as well.... I ache for an Irish Babble meet up.

5:53 pm

Well quit your aching. River is on her way and it looks like L is not far behind her.

5:53 pm

7,8,9's are done....now, do I go from the bottom or the top!?

5:53 pm

That would be so awesome!

5:54 pm

And I'm really looking forward to River's visit. I cant wait.

5:55 pm

There had best be tons of photos posted Soodle!

5:59 pm

Jilly< i was just about to say, if i win the lottery then i will pay for Soodle to come across and have a holiday with us(i'm sure she's so excited!! not:) and then she could meet others in Great Britain

6:02 pm

I'm sure you'll have a great time with River

6:03 pm

Lil, i've no doubt our paths will cross soon.....

6:04 pm

I hope to win enough to fly all my babble buddies for a meetup!

6:05 pm

Well i hope you have loads of alcohol and computors because we will still NEED to babble :)

6:06 pm

Go big or go home!

6:06 pm

:D

6:06 pm

But it would be great as we could all babble together so it would take less time to do the grid:0

6:07 pm

And alcohol has to do with Babble...how?

6:08 pm

And seriously, if you all finally get together and spend your time playing Babble, I will think you quite dull.

6:08 pm

It would be a party

6:08 pm

We could make a babble party fun:D

6:09 pm

Soodle has been quiet, but I think irish babblers would need wee bit of alcohol and be very fun!

6:09 pm

Irish Babble players...wee bit...ahahahaha!

6:10 pm

Molly, why are you saying if we all had a party?you'd be invited

6:11 pm

I was going to say that too Molly...lol

6:11 pm

I do think I said ALL my babble buddies miss molly!

6:17 pm

If i win the euromillions tomorrow, then i'm paying for my babble friends from across the pond to come and a have a good holiday over here

6:18 pm

But knowing my luck i won't even get one number:(

6:19 pm

<----crosses fingers for miss L!

6:20 pm

tomorrow it is £103

6:20 pm

Million

6:21 pm

L, lets just say that the Babble Facebook page is a real eye opener and leave it at that.

6:21 pm

*crosses even harder*

6:22 pm

Then you'll be invited on your own and shown arounf Durham city which has a Cathedral and Castle and i think you'd like the history Molly

6:23 pm

Gees. If I ever win enough cash to assemble a band of Babblers together in one place....all I can say is that weould give Ellen a run for her money in the Selfie Dept.

6:23 pm

I love cathedrals and castles. I'm big into architecture.

6:23 pm

We would...

6:24 pm

LOL soodle dear! We would crash Twitter for sure!!

6:24 pm

Yay, Jilly. 😄

6:25 pm

And Soodle would be invited and she can show us how to drink guiness or whisky:)

6:25 pm

Hi just hopping abord. Babblers are talkers Molly. There is nothing more entertaining than clever talkers, i.e. Irish people.

6:25 pm

Hi ((gmere))

6:26 pm

Hi lilliann. aboard is spelled wrong. No wonder Babble game is so challenging for me!

6:26 pm

Oh, big disappointment L. Soodle doesn't drink Guinness or whiskey.

6:27 pm

Ha ha, Lil. I am an absolute disgrace to my heritage. I don't drink eitherGuinness or whiskey.

6:27 pm

She drinks a lot of tea and wine though.

6:28 pm

but, what I lack in Guinness &whiskey, I make up for in Lager & wine!

6:28 pm

If wishes were horses beggers would ride. We need to put some legs under our wish for wandering!

6:29 pm

OMG..... I have a ghost writer.....

6:29 pm

There is an echo in here...here...here

6:29 pm

MollyL. You know me too well.....

6:30 pm

sorry, away for loo break :0

6:30 pm

I'm sorry Soodle, I haven't read down the chog, did I inadvertently copy a thought you previously published?

6:30 pm

Well, time for dinner 80 to go....bbs

6:30 pm

Thank God for that Soodle as i hate both too...wine...yay your my gal:)

6:31 pm

Oh I have 14 words and not much chance of whipping through this grid, good bye for now jilly.

6:32 pm

Enjoy JIlly, I'm still bound to be here when you come back:)

6:35 pm

What does that mean Gmere? your post at 6.28

6:37 pm

The first sentence is the old Mother Goose saying that if wishes came true, beggers would be riding (rather than walking). The second sentence just means if we want to visit you, rather than wait for your lottery winnings and good will, we need to get moving on our own power to visit you.

6:37 pm

In between getting clues Hi Mkg, Kje Julie And O-o

6:43 pm

hi lill

hello

6:46 pm

Ty Kje for pe clues.i had pe 6 but i'm forgetting the endings for the longer words

6:46 pm

I'm adding them all now - easier to just type them in than to look for them ; )

6:47 pm

cuz I'm a lazy babbler ; )

6:47 pm

I now see miniscule is a variant of minuscule

6:49 pm

I must admit i've been doing that with words as in pl and pt Kje

6:49 pm

there are so many variant endings in this one

6:50 pm

That's for sure

7:01 pm

Variant endings are what make it a big grid

7:02 pm

tu6/24?

7:02 pm

I'm watching a police programme at the moment and a policeman has just pulled someone who went up a road with a No Entry Sign and his son is a sailor who he's picked up drunk in his uniform which isn't good(if he is a real sailor, as they are not allowed out in uniform unless it is for a reason) and his dad told the police to 'wind their neck in'...i like that saying

7:03 pm

I have never heard wind your neck in - meaning mind your own business?

7:03 pm

nm, found the tu6

7:03 pm

L, you watch the most dramatic TV shows

7:04 pm

It means, just chill, relax

7:04 pm

i'm so glad kje as i couldn't think how to clue it :)

7:04 pm

ah... not sure I'd tell the police to take a chill pill

7:05 pm

good way to piss 'em off

7:06 pm

No, they were chilled, even when the sailor accuse one of the policeman being drunk

7:07 pm

The sailor was pi4ed as a fart mind you

7:07 pm

*Loves those Brit sayings*

7:08 pm

It's normally husband's programmes Molly but he's gone to bed and i hadn't changerd the channel

7:11 pm

'wind your neck in' is a southern England saying...more London/cockney saying

7:13 pm

what's its origin? do you know?

7:14 pm

American translation: quit gawking

7:14 pm

so6?

7:16 pm

Female pig + plural of the letter after M

7:16 pm

so6, is female pig and not start but **d*

7:16 pm

ty

7:17 pm

I don't klnow the origin kje, but i know i heard it when i was growing up

7:19 pm

texans have great sayings too... very descriptive. I can't pull them off

7:19 pm

of my favorites is "more nervous than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs"

hi all

7:20 pm

Up here(as in North East, Newcastle) the saying would be Howway and shite(excuse language)

'the way i heard that was "a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs" LOL

7:20 pm

Nervous as a whore in church

7:20 pm

or... so foggy the birds are walking (and I could use that in SF if I could pull it off... I have no twang, it needs a twang)

7:21 pm

I like that saying Kje

7:21 pm

Hi Gwen:)

7:21 pm

that works book... and fits the texan need to elaborate the point

and still, voip isn't a word

hi lilliann, you weird mooning gnome!

7:23 pm

or another I remember... she thinks the sun comes up just to hear her crow.

7:53 pm

hagn stidgemere

7:54 pm

the weird thing is I am more exhausted at the end of my 8 hour shift now than I was after the 12 hour shift at the hospital...

7:54 pm

Goodnight Gmere, Big hugs, to you and stid and all family:)

nbt at last

7:56 pm

Yay Gwen!! And hello again all!

7:57 pm

you will be, as it is more mentally tiring

7:59 pm

I found it more tiring working in homes than hospitals, plus, in homes we don't have porters..not here anyway, so we were doing everything

7:59 pm

I guess so!

7:59 pm

what is a porter?

you mean people who lift heavy things?

8:00 pm

8s done! whew!

8:00 pm

Yay kje!!

8:03 pm

7s done!

8:03 pm

I'm beginning to see the light!

8:04 pm

I worked in a psychiatric hospital when i was 17 and a half and we had to lift,bathe,dress,feed the patients, so it was very physical and also very mentally tiring and i did that job but with old sailors and then young/old adults with special needs after that, and it is a physical job but mentally tiring, and to me the mentally tiring is more so than the physical

8:05 pm

Porters here in hospitals and homes push people on the trolleys

8:05 pm

FW!

8:05 pm

I think you are right, mental tired is harder than physical tired.

8:05 pm

trolley = wheelchair?

8:06 pm

Trolley, is the bed with wheels

8:06 pm

ah. got it.

8:06 pm

must run - hagn all

8:06 pm

Wtg Kje!! :)

8:06 pm

Bye and tc:)

8:06 pm

you too, kje

8:06 pm

we call those gurneys

i think we call them nurse's aides, and beds on wheels are called gurneys

8:07 pm

we call them that too, but i couldn't think of the name

8:07 pm

but I think I will call it a trolley next time I need to use the word, just to screw with the staff's minds

whereas a trolley is light rail :)

8:07 pm

light rail?

8:08 pm

very very light rail!

8:08 pm

as opposed to big trains, lill

8:08 pm

a street car

light rail = a kind of railroad with lightweight trains

8:08 pm

light rail is like the metro, lill, but above ground

8:08 pm

ahh, ok ty :)

8:08 pm

usually

although, i think some old trolleys were actually not on rails, but were attached to overhead electrical lines

8:09 pm

ok, really leaving now

8:09 pm

those were cable cars....

8:09 pm

trolley is definitely better than gurneys

8:09 pm

really.... leaving

8:10 pm

less, scary sounding, lill

8:10 pm

Mr. Smith, can you move to the gurney so we can take you to the OR?

8:10 pm

Mr Smith, hop on the trolley!

8:10 pm

much better

i shipped a book to the UK today, and for padding I used a piece of corrugated cardboard that said Potato Chips on it, and I happen know that what we call chips ain't what they call chips :)

8:13 pm

Two countries separated by a common language

8:14 pm

We do say Trolleys don't we Jaxx?

8:14 pm

Book, your chips are our crisps

after watching british tv a whole lot since i was 10 Oor so) i'm beginning to be able to translate most of it LOL

8:15 pm

Indeed we do and we have tea trollies too to push the teapot, cups and cakes into the room

8:15 pm

I'm now questioning myself :)

8:15 pm

hi Jaxx by the way

8:15 pm

To gurn is to pull funny faces which I suppose people do when they are transported on gurneys

8:16 pm

LOL or wince

8:16 pm

It was our language first

tea trolley = coffee cart

8:17 pm

Hi, Lilliann. I am supposed to be in bed but am starting a cold so I am drinking hot lemon and Babbling

8:18 pm

In your country maybe Gwen, but you forget we are a nation of tea drinkers here

8:19 pm

I don't think the Americans have been so fond of tea since the Boston Tea Party :)

no, i would never forget that! in fact i spent some time learing to steep and drink tea so i could visit you all and "fit in" LOL

8:19 pm

Well i hope you you cna get rid of it soon Jaxx.I've had one for weeks, i just get over it and then the bairn or hubby gets one so i get it back again

8:20 pm

heresy coming up - I find tea more refreshing than coffe

8:20 pm

coffee even

8:21 pm

Gwen, you're welcome here anytime.i have a spare room:)

i don't care for coffee at all, and i don't like tea a lot, but i can drink tea

8:21 pm

enjoying my cup of tea as i babble - not a coffee drinker

8:22 pm

I can't stand the taste of coffee and it makes me sleep, the best thing about fresh coffee, is its smell

8:22 pm

Hi Teach:0

8:22 pm

i like weak tea

8:23 pm

good evening all

8:23 pm

drink mostly herb tea

me, too, very weak tea. scientifically, i like tea that has steeped for 27 seconds exactly

8:24 pm

I do too teach, i prefer green tea but with fruit

8:24 pm

have you tried green tea? My sister only drinks that as she says it is good for you. Me? I Find it more like cabbage water

8:24 pm

Do you time it Gwen?

well, yeah, but in fairness, i haven't made tea for two or three years . . .

8:25 pm

you can get many different kinds of green teas - my son (who is also a tea drinker) times his

8:25 pm

I don't like green tea on it's own but if i have a lemon i will squeeze that into it, otherwise i buy green teas with fruit jaxx

8:26 pm

he also prefers the loose teas - i am lazy and just use the tea bags

8:26 pm

Good evening to all babblers!How is everyone doing today?

8:26 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

i'm heavy into plain ol' water right now, trying to avoid another kidney stone attack with no health care

8:26 pm

Not for me, Lilliann, with or without fruit.

8:26 pm

Hi MIn:)

8:28 pm

It's better with the fruit Jax, as you can't taste the green tea so much, but when i make it, i just leave the teabag in and drink it 5 minutes after so i'm getting the benefits of the grren tea

8:28 pm

Gwen, i also like hot water but i add a wedge of lemon or lime into it and then will drink it when it cools down

8:29 pm

Now, that I do like.

8:32 pm

it's refreshing isn't it Jaxx?

8:32 pm

Nice, first thing in the morning to start the day

8:33 pm

egad, i'm in the penalty box

Shorty, my prayers are with you. The hole in your heart can never be filled and the memories Lucas can never take his place. I lost my brother who was on earth with me for 60 years, 8 months and 4 days in 2006 and I will always miss him.
