Oh. He's silent but deadly? Kinda like some farts...

Stealth. That's it.

he's a stealth babbler.

12:23 am

I miss bantering with him.. but I respect that he doesn't want to chat anymore

12:23 am

Yep. Pretty much, jbp.

Already beaten it into submission.

That's sad. Why not?

Haha, jbp. I have... that's why.

Oh. :(

He was so much fun.

And the dart vs. ruru thing.

last nights was a breeze.. this one was a little twistier

The smaller ones are often tough.

12:36 am

so you working long hours huh?

Not always though.

You could say that. I need a holiday..

Trouble is I do more than one job. Ugh.

12:36 am

hmm

But we're getting out of debt and putting money away, so that's good.

12:37 am

that's a good start then

Too damn expensive living here. But here is where the work is for me right now.

12:37 am

almost all of California is expensive isn't it?

Yep. I was paying almost the same for my apartment up in Santa Cruz... and it had even less space!

And that was on my own... ouch.

12:39 am

yep..

Oceanfront view though.

Right across the road from the beach.

12:39 am

that I would love to have an ocean view

No shit. It was gorgeous living there.

It was a very hard decision to make, leaving there.

12:40 am

Santa Cruz is a beautiful place.. but a lot of degenerates

But my family had been bugging me to move down here for a long time and then Elisse came back from S. Korea and was with her family in San Diego... so yeah. Just made sense to move down here . Figured I'd get work pretty easily... haha. That took a while, too many people after every job.

12:41 am

that's been the case everywhere in California until recently

Yeah, well you get them everywhere these days.

Yeah, but it was really bad here... took us both a few months to find anything full-time.\

12:42 am

I remember

12:43 am

it all worked out..

12:43 am

I heard you bought a red Saturn? is that true :D

Well we're surviving anyway.

HELL no. :P

12:43 am

HA

I never ever wanna see one again.

12:44 am

HA

12:44 am

san diego is loaded with them :D

Haha, yeah. Tough to avoid. :P As long as Crazy Face isn't driving any I see, I'm good..

Here's a sign for you: http://tinyurl.com/q8maugc

12:46 am

that's pretty good

12:47 am

.. nice to see you .. going to head to bed.. big day tomorrow.

Figured you could relate to that.

Probably this too:

12:49 am

night neil and ruru. hope you both sleep well

12:49 am

hi rose!

12:52 am

hey ya saani

12:56 am

poor don! he has been out, digging trenches, ready for the plumbing of our new loo...yes that's right....the bathroom is about to be finished...i think that's nearly 4 years. *sigh*

12:58 am

and if anyone says i am a nagging wife, all i have to say is....* raspberries to you*...lolol

1:18 am

greetings friends

1:20 am

* huge smile * huggles miz puggles

1:21 am

Hugs and Hi Rose--how are you today

1:23 am

not too bad, considering. have only needed one strong pain med so far. me thinks i am getting better...

1:24 am

and you, dear? and your sister? how are you both ?

1:24 am

oh, thats great Rose---so you got poor Don out there breaking his back--lol

1:24 am

Ive been better--up and down all night---sister is fine

1:25 am

yeah, finally. once that loo is re-located, we can start on the kitchen.

1:25 am

so Don is going to take on the whole chore

1:25 am

pain?? honey ?? or just restless ??

1:26 am

both Rose

1:26 am

don't know. the groundwork he puts in, the less we have to pay the plumber.

1:27 am

and the kitchen? Is he going to let you get him help

1:27 am

you poor girl. my heart aches for you. my restless legs wouldn't let me sleep again.

1:27 am

no, its not my legs--but what I need the heatpad for but on this one I cant

1:28 am

oh, yes...he has seen the light...praise the Lord and pass the biscuits!! he realises he simply cannot pull down the inside wall on his own.

1:29 am

Thank goodness for that! It will go so much quicker too

1:29 am

ugh, pugs. that's too bad. could you sit in a hot bath?

1:29 am

you don't need to tell me that twice,\.

1:29 am

I dont have a tub--but I use hot compresses

1:30 am

he is such a darling, and i hate having to push him, but i have been waiting for a long time...

1:30 am

its almost by my knee

1:31 am

He will probablly need a good back and shoulder massage when he comes in, so get prepaired

1:31 am

pugs, how about you microwave a towel. there is usually enough moisture, even in a dry towel, for a microwave to give you a warm, moist pack. it only needs about 5-10 seconds. depending on the size of your microwave.

1:32 am

good ideal Rose--never thought of that

1:32 am

oh, and the size of the towel...try a hand towel to start with.

1:33 am

just be very careful. i don't want either you or the towel to get burnt.

1:33 am

I was begining to think babble wasent going to let me on---I kept getting red boxes and then sever down

1:33 am

lol--okay

hey all

1:33 am

Hi misso

1:33 am

{{omni}} hello sweetie

1:34 am

1:35 am

1:35 am

haven't seen her, pugs

1:36 am

but negativeneil was here. he such good value for money. so chatty.

1:36 am

she wasent feeling well the last I seen her--fighting a cold

1:36 am

I dont know him Rose

1:36 am

oh, think i should email her?

1:37 am

it might not hurt since she not on

1:38 am

I think this is my first time meeting MissO

1:39 am

have done so, pugs. omni is also good value..lol.

oh i am?

bang for your buck!

:D

nice to meet you pug!

1:40 am

so how was the pool workout today Rose--a little easier

1:41 am

Nice to meet you too MissO

1:45 am

naughty omni...and i was gonna introduce you two...don't think i will now...lol

1:47 am

sorry, don wanted me to look at his hole...*giggle* pugs, pool was really good. i nfact i completely forgot i had the floatie on, and went to get out with it still in place. next monday i start working with double steps, and weights.

1:48 am

much better progress Rose---how big of a hole does he need to dig

1:49 am

is he putting in one of those big delux inground tubs?

1:49 am

the one he has dug is about 10' long and 4' deep, and 3' wide.

1:49 am

one with all the bells and whistles? lol

1:50 am

thats about the right size

1:51 am

roflol...i wish, pugs, and miss omni will be moving in when i do... this is just for the sewerage for the new loo.

1:52 am

oh darn--lol-----I was hoping for you---you might ask him to since hes in the digging mood--lol

1:53 am

Iam sure he wont mind me adding a bit more labor on his agenda--lol

1:55 am

lolol, pugs

1:56 am

btw, pugs, i emailed you today

1:56 am

so if Don is digging, whos fixing dinner? or are you having something delivered or going out

1:57 am

nice, pugs...it's friday..take-away night...am thinking good old fish and chips. haven't had that in ages.

1:57 am

Oh goody! Ive been having trouble with my darn computer for three days now :(---its just running slow and seems to get worse as each day passes

1:57 am

mmm that sounds really good! I love fish

1:58 am

that includes slaw too dont it--lol

1:58 am

i wish...but it sounds awfully healthy...

1:59 am

well fish is suppose to be good for you

2:00 am

I like the sweet slaw better then the sour, myself but I can eat either

2:03 am

i know pugs, but this place does the most yummy beef burger with the lot...includes lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions, egg, bacon and ketchup.

2:04 am

that sounds good too--the fish sounds better though--lol

2:05 am

the burger sounds like a heart stopper--lol

2:06 am

and your point is..???

2:06 am

just thinking about you and don, is all--lol and dont forget Don is out there working in the heat

2:08 am

thank-you, dear...out of 21 meals per week, this is really the only one where we kick our heels up.

2:09 am

the rest of the week is salad and/or steamed vegs, and as you know, a high percentage of chicken or fish.

2:09 am

then enjoy---you only live once and if you wish to cut that time down, then by all means go for it--lol

2:10 am

ooh....naughty pugs...trying to lay the guilts on me...gonna have to watch you...lolol

2:10 am

Rose, does your church put on a specail service for easter time

2:11 am

giggling Rose

2:12 am

absolutely, darling. we have a service on Good Friday. the church is stripped bare of any ornaments what so ever. there are no hymns of any kind. it is a funeral service, dear

2:13 am

then easter sunday, we have flowers, our minister puts on beautifully embroidered robes, we sing hymns of rejoicing.

2:13 am

Ive never heard of that, I bet its a powerful service then-----do you have a easter dinner with your family too

2:14 am

I need to find me another church---I really miss going

2:15 am

we all meet in a park for a picnic lunch, and celebrate Our Lord's gift to us together. this year is coincides with Greek easter. so my brother and his greek wife will not be joining the rest of the family until mid-afternoon.

2:15 am

do you hide eggs for the little one too

2:16 am

and believe me...you have NEVER experienced easter until you have been to one of their services, at midnight easter saturday.

2:17 am

sounds so wonderful Rose and I bet it renews your spirit too

2:17 am

yes, love...it is such a delight to watch their mad scramblings to find the eggs. and their mums or dads helping them.

2:18 am

I miss things like that with my family :(----seems all of my sisters have just drifted away and their kids are all grown and gone their ways

2:18 am

it does, pugs, it does. and that is what easter is about. renewing your spirit for the year ahead.

2:19 am

but the end of April, my sister from Vegas is coming for a week visit--so Iam looking forward to that

2:19 am

pugs, why don't YOU be the one to start a new tradition with your family.

2:20 am

it is up to us 'older' generation to make sure the traditions are passed on.

2:21 am

I use to host all the holidays Rose and everyone came here--but they all seem to have just stop wanting to do that-----And my youngest sister, is Gradyn's grandmother and you know that story

2:22 am

that is why i have decided to pick up the ball from my mother, and make sure everyone in the family receives a birthday card, and christmas card.

2:23 am

hi ladies! I am reminded of when our son was little - the school would have an egg hunt - they'd line up on one side and start off on the count of 1, 2, 3 - and my son ran to the other end and got nearly half the eggs while the other kids started with those closest. He's always been deviously smart, lol!

2:23 am

yes I do that too for each of my sisters

2:23 am

Hi Rbud,,clever move--lol

2:24 am

thought of it all on his own!

2:24 am

g'day rbud. clever boy, that

2:24 am

I made him share some, though. :)

2:25 am

as you do, rbud, as you do. never too young to learn how to share.

2:26 am

I like coloring eggs and still do it--lol

2:26 am

have always wished he'd use his powers for good instead of evil (joke) - but he always comes up with some sneaky way to come out on top. *shakes head*

2:26 am

btw, *hands pugs a baseball bat* knock your sister for a home run, dear..pour out the love...

2:28 am

lol Rose---Ive been thinking of going to her home and confronting her...whats the worse that can happen,demand I leave

2:29 am

yes, love. prepare yourself, by imagining any scenario...and you are ready...

2:30 am

I do run into her hubby now and then in town for he's a mailman and theres no hard feeling there between us

2:32 am

well, you have won half the battle, dear

2:34 am

I really think shes afraid to admit I was right on this thing with Gradyn and dont want to knowledge it

2:34 am

brb need coffee

2:36 am

go get it, girl

2:42 am

okay, Iam back

2:43 am

its a pouring rain and very windy here this morning

2:44 am

good day to stay indoors, and babble and whatever.

2:44 am

thats about it--lol

2:45 am

*warm hugs* and lots of kisses, dear

2:46 am

thanks Rose--and same to you

2:46 am

will you be returning to work before easter

2:47 am

thanx, hun. please give your sister the same from me..let her know, i love her, and pray for her. she is so precious.

2:47 am

I will Rose and thank you

2:48 am

3rd of april is good friday. so the answer is no. not returning to work until the week of the 28th of april

2:49 am

not really far off, is it

2:50 am

the way its going here, kiddies might be hunting eggs in the snow--lol

2:52 am

at least the eggs wont be affected by heat...lol

2:52 am

lol, true

2:55 am

Rose, have you seen that movie-Passion of the Christ--they show it here every easter

2:56 am

I have it on cd---though its a great movie, its hard for me to watch

2:59 am

yes, dear. we have it on dvd. it is an amazing film.

2:59 am

it is---I seen they are coming out with a new one sometime soon

2:59 am

mel gibson is an amazing film maker

3:00 am

It makes me feel bad

3:02 am

pugs, go with the flow, sweetie. these films are made to help us be empathetic to what was happening all those years ago.

3:03 am

you are NOT bad, pugs

3:03 am

I know Rose and it dont make me feel good knowing I added to his pain

3:05 am

I know how heavy the burden it is I myself carries and to think someone took on all of mankind is more then I can think about of that weight

3:08 am

yeah, love. and for me..knowing he was offered pain-killing herbs, and refused them..it makes His crucifix so much more poignant.

3:09 am

and ontop of all that to be seperated from God for that short of time---awful

hey you two :)

3:11 am

I'll make you famous on the internet ;)

3:35 am

oh now there's something i couldn't inflict on the world!!!

bahaha

3:36 am

LOL

3:36 am

honestly - i woke up this morning all sane and normal and now i've turned into a loony gardening in a mankini!! the days looking very promising!

3:37 am

nice to help out a friend--lol

i get buy with a little help from my friends...

3:38 am

seriously, though, it's lovely to wake up and come on here and talk absolute rubbish with such wonderful people. Is Mum (rose) coming back?

she went to dinner

o who knows

3:39 am

she usually does after eating

3:39 am

loving ur green hair miss

Thanking you worz

3:40 am

my sis used to dye her hair blue and some1 jokingly said to her do the curtains match the carpets so for a laugh she dyed that area blue too just in case someone else asked her. I nearly died laughing when she informed me of that!!!

hahahaha

no, there's no grass on the southern plane

axed floorboards.

*waxed

3:42 am

well, u don't often find ME lost for words . . .

<giggle>

Or gardening in a mankini apparently.

hahaha english tan = lobster. rocking the red ;)

3:44 am

I love gardening too and the feel of dirt under all my nails--lol

3:45 am

4:45 am

it is lovely to have you in chat today, Frances.

4:45 am

hello, Frances, I am well-known for my perpetual whining

4:45 am

Hello ruby. Nice to see you too. How are the doggies?

the dogs are splendid and I've been walking baby-crazy-hear Raffie every day for almost 6 weeks, and she is much nicer and less timid now

4:47 am

Raffie? Is this a new one?

4:47 am

. . . and I'm back . . .

Rafaella is one year old now and because she's so fluffy, she looks bigger than my Rufie-boy

4:48 am

ty pugx x

4:48 am

ruby, with the solicitor being such a slime-ball...my brother isn't going to release the funds from my mother's estate until august. will email you closer to that time and let you know when to expect a knock on your door.

4:49 am

So do you have three dogs now ruby?

4:49 am

did you bring me one, worzel? I could use an infusion of tea.....

4:49 am

ahhhh. thanx worzel...as usual you have anticipated your mum's needs...lol

4:50 am

I'm sitting here with tea and marmite on toast. Late breakfast, yummy.

4:50 am

no, my beloved Ruby died a year ago February, peacefully, in her sleep. She was past 10 and had an extra 8 months or so because the vet and I gave her heart meds

4:50 am

(hands ruby a nice cuppa!)

4:50 am

enjoy, Frances :) I am eating a banana here

4:50 am

10 is about all you can hope for in a chow

4:50 am

Oh ruby, I am so sorry to hear that.

4:51 am

but don't throw any bananas sprite. Have you read how people throw them at black politicians and black footballers?

4:51 am

oh, and spritey, have answered your email. son...watch the gmail space....lol

4:51 am

trying desperately to get the bottom right n and keep finding nemo, so to speak!

4:51 am

It was a peaceful death for which I am grateful. And, after 2 wks of grieving, Rufie stepped up and has become my heart's dog

4:52 am

yes darling, I read your answer, will get back to you after this babble

4:52 am

ne4/4, repeat the first two letters

4:52 am

thankx mum just got it! x

4:52 am

that's the other n, rosie

4:53 am

ne5/18, ne + ***l, not sick

4:53 am

lol, also the middle column N, I think

4:53 am

Good that she died peacefully ruby and wonderful that you have found another wonderful companion - for you and your other baby.

4:54 am

ne4/5, ne + **barrassed, red in the face from shame

4:54 am

yes, sprite, and I still can't find the right-hand n!

4:54 am

don't panic mum i got it now lol xx but thanks for the other clues!

4:54 am

that is the one, thanks rose

4:54 am

and these two, because they're only a year apart are wonderful together

4:54 am

ne5, means stair post i think

4:55 am

So happy for you ruby.

4:55 am

yes it does, but that's not it. It's like the ovie Le Chocolat when she keeps saying"This is your favorite" and Johnny Depp says "It's delicious, but that's not my favorite"

4:55 am

<-----Loves Marmite!

4:56 am

{{zzoozz}} still haven't tasted marmite

4:56 am

G'DAY ZOOZ!!!

4:56 am

Bonjour everyone :-)

4:56 am

What is Marmite?

4:56 am

Morning Mr Zoom

4:56 am

I think they have it in the net village where there are a lot of expat English

4:56 am

and hello hello

4:56 am

Hi Annie

4:56 am

oh great movie, ruby!

4:56 am

{{annie}}

4:56 am

Hello zooz. LOve it so much - had to have two slices.

4:56 am

Hello, Annie...It is like vegemite.

4:56 am

hi zooz and Annie :)

4:56 am

Hi ((everyone))

4:57 am

I've seen it so many times that I know all the dialogue by heart

4:57 am

marmite is a salty paste you can use on bread and toast

4:57 am

Same here, Frances, I eat it nearly everyday...with a nice cup of tea :-)

4:57 am

G0ood morning zoo and Annie xx

4:57 am

thanks for the explanation? Does it have a fishy taste?

4:57 am

does it have any food value?

4:58 am

I think it must be mostly salty

can someone clue the pl7 please

4:58 am

well g'day annie

4:58 am

The Australian version is vegemite and yes it is extremely good for you - loads of vitamins

4:58 am

hello Jjenny :)

4:58 am

last night I cooked a veal tongue and, at 11 when I came downstairs to clean it, the dogs went insane

4:58 am

It is a yeast extract..saltyish but not that salty..as long as you do not put too much on.

4:58 am

Hi jenny

4:58 am

I must look for it on this side of the pond

hello to everyone

4:59 am

Jjenny: guys that work the land

4:59 am

jenny, pl4, american term for plough + not females

4:59 am

name the US dogfood

4:59 am

Hello, Jenny :-)

4:59 am

Although, strangely, the Canadian government has banned it - along with several other products that are available in the UK - because of one particular ingredient. I don't recall the ingredient but it's not a bad ingredient

4:59 am

good morning jivingjenny xx

4:59 am

jenny OI guess you could call the pl7/52 a farm worker.

got it thank you very much

5:04 am

it contains red food colouring Ponceau 4R, which is linked to hyperactivity. In huge quantities, I guess, maybe.

5:04 am

Thanks for the pl7!

5:04 am

guys who look like black birds are not valid, though.

5:05 am

Hi all - I would move back to England if I couldn't get genuine marmite here. There's a copy called marmite made by a different company and marmite is called Our Mate! Very strange.

5:05 am

oh that is funny, Liz

5:05 am

Hi Liz--how are you

5:06 am

The real product has such easily identifiable packaging though!

5:06 am

Great thanks, Pugs - and you?

Pink it is NE 5/18 not old +2nd vowel + letter.

5:12 am

Hugs to all :)

5:12 am

liz too

5:12 am

and ne4, clued by rose earlier as ne + **barrassed, red in face with shame

5:12 am

you too, pink. when i had my bone scan, i had shrunk 2".

5:12 am

Take care, Liz, have a good deep sleep.

5:13 am

hi pink. I've lost 2". By the time I'm 80, I'll be a midget

5:13 am

we all shrink when we get older. Fact of life.

5:13 am

hmmm ok ty zooz and sprite looking

5:13 am

crawling around liz's knees...hello dear

5:14 am

that ne doesn't work for me; it always comes from the other n

5:14 am

the one zooz clued is from the middle N.

5:14 am

5 8, a giant!

5:14 am

Gosh, I haven't started to shrink yet. My mother had gone from 5'3" to 4'10" by the time she was my age.

5:14 am

5:14 am

5:14 am

oh sorry...NE+another vowel+ letter.

5:15 am

I wish, pug, I wish. I think what we lose lengthwise, we gain sideways, lolol

5:15 am

I think having a couple of extra lbs keeps you from shrinking so much My mother didn't get shorter and lived to be 85 or 6

5:15 am

ne + **barrassed, red in face with shame.

5:16 am

in that case I should never shrink-lol

5:16 am

or N +double vowel + first day of the week is *onday.

5:16 am

ne + vowel + not you but *e

5:56 am

I hope so Annie

5:57 am

5:57 am

Happy Friday, Babblers!

5:57 am

howdy annie

5:57 am

I think you would be great at those things Crossy

5:57 am

5:58 am

Hi aloy

5:58 am

Hi Aloy :)

5:59 am

I tried that one too, aloy

5:59 am

hope you aced your exam, crossy

5:59 am

yes, annie. was an emergency change because I had a jumbo picture there by misstate what was lagging babble. I will seek out a better wolf when I get the time.

5:59 am

damn typos:))

6:00 am

How did you do on the math paper Crossy? A+'s

6:00 am

no comma after houses

6:00 am

howdy goose, haven't seen you in a while

6:00 am

I will know by mid next week. The teacher will not tell us until the reports come out of the office

6:00 am

ok, wishing you an A+

6:01 am

i tend not to edit in here. i think i will type everything in lower case in one breathless run on sentence just to release my inner animal:))

6:01 am

sounds good to me, crossy

6:01 am

live it up, crossy

6:02 am

like james joyce

6:02 am

besides, if we all jumped over ever single punctuation mistake in here of every single active player there would be no time to play the game:)

6:03 am

our first paper is on Malala. Who here knows of her?

6:03 am

Who is she?

pakistani girl shot by the taliban

6:04 am

correct,lady. it is a real fascinating story

6:04 am

Hi LadyC

6:04 am

google her U.N speech. you will love it

6:04 am

and her dad's speech

6:04 am

Hi cece

yes, it was inspiring. gm e/one

6:05 am

wait one. will make that my tidbit...

6:05 am

her story is something else

6:05 am

going to google Malala later, thanks crossy, didnt remember her name but knew the story.

though she's catching heck at home because of her book

6:06 am

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!. Today's story is about this brave girl. Watch it. http://tinyurl.com/laznql5

6:07 am

she is indeed, lady

6:07 am

the speech is 19 minutes, so save it for when you have some free time and do not forget to watch her dads speech afterwards

6:10 am

Scholastic news just did an article on Malala last week for the children here at the high school.

6:12 am

I remember that news, glad it is still around

6:12 am

her and her father are in the right place, at the right time and their voices are powerful ones for change in places like pakistan

6:16 am

tribal, patriarchal caste systems can no longer work in this world. It is time to bury them beside other outdated horrific customs of the past.

6:16 am

fw, off to watch Malala and her dad.. tc all, have a fab Friday, poof

2:16 pm

If someone gets fireworks in the chat log, and no one is there, does anyone hear it?

2:17 pm

just the wide, lonely expanse of the internet, molly :)

2:17 pm

What is the sound of one post entering?

2:20 pm

I hope mael will let us know when the baby is born.

2:21 pm

Hi All

2:21 pm

I definitely will, hego :)

2:21 pm

can't happen soon enough at this point

2:21 pm

Just make sure you are not on-line throughout the whole labor and delivery. That could get messy.

2:21 pm

Hang in there!!

2:22 pm

This is my first Babble baby. :)

2:26 pm

LOL...hoping for mael as well. Hello babbleworld and hi to hego, mael and Molly

2:26 pm

Hi Jilly

2:27 pm

Hoping this grid is kinder to me than yesterday..I quit with 24 left to go to bed.

2:27 pm

It's not too hard.

2:28 pm

LOL...already several greyed out!

2:28 pm

there you go!

2:31 pm

and some fun words to boot!

2:37 pm

haha, if I can babble while in labor it might make things go faster :)

2:37 pm

true :)

2:37 pm

Great diversion from contractions! Is this your first?

2:37 pm

But I somehow doubt you will.

2:38 pm

yup, due next Friday. I'm still sort of hoping that a stork shows up

2:38 pm

I think it is Jill.

2:39 pm

Any time now Mael.

2:39 pm

Spent 3 years in Labor & Delivery, first one can be hardest, and it is best you keep moving/walking around for as long as possible.

2:39 pm

Mael, if you can play Babble while having contractions, many women are going to want to know your secret.

2:39 pm

But HOW EXCITING!!

2:40 pm

Did you go traditional or do you know what you are having?

2:41 pm

nope, it's going to be a surprise :)

2:41 pm

adventurous!

2:41 pm

I think that is great, gives you something to look forward to...good for you!!

2:41 pm

I'm definitely going to try and walk as much as possible, the whole lying in bed thing doesn't sound very manageable

2:42 pm

yeah, I'm hoping it gives me the extra oomph of curiosity to get things done. Not to say that I'm not terrified, but I'm very very excited as well

2:42 pm

spoken like a true Italian woman!!

2:42 pm

;)

2:42 pm

lol

2:43 pm

Good for you Mael. I think it's more exciting if you don't know what flavor you're getting ahead of time.

2:44 pm

my husband really wants a girl (and so do I), but it's still a 50/50 shot so he shouldn't get too far ahead of himself

2:44 pm

Again, best to you. I'll be rooting for you. Bye for now All.

2:45 pm

thanks hego! have a great night :)

2:45 pm

BYE.....

2:46 pm

You have the right attitude mael, just keep upright and moving, it makes the labor go faster. I made the mistake of NOT doing that with my first. With the second hubby and I walked until I was in transition, LOL I'd walk a few steps, contraction would hit and I would lean over on him and breathe.

2:46 pm

Bye for now hego!

2:47 pm

now I just hope this baby doesn't show up during rush hour, because getting to the hospital would be a disaster

2:47 pm

Just keep in mind it is a natural function andlisten to your body. L&D nurses are the best! They will get you through this!

2:47 pm

Mael, just do whatever is comfortable to you in labor. You are, after all, the one delivering that baby. If you feel okay in bed, stay there. If moving around works, then do that. You will know what is best for you.

2:51 pm

thanks molly and jill for the advice! it's tough to not really know what to expect

2:52 pm

Don't stress about rush hour, first baby's take time. Keep your positive attitude, the experience is life changing and well worth the effort!

2:52 pm

Did you take a birthing class mael?

2:52 pm

i just witnessed the birth of my 5th grandson, great moment of my life

2:52 pm

I did. but I didn't find it super helpful

2:52 pm

And you don't know what to expect. Every labor is different.

2:53 pm

yeah, that's what I'm gathering. Here's to hoping for an easy one, but healthy baby/healthy mom is really the end goal no matter how I get there

2:53 pm

Good goal.

2:53 pm

<---agree with Molly. The correct breathing is essentiall but the nurses all will help and are all very knowledgeable.

2:53 pm

Congratulations on your grandson, Ana.

2:54 pm

Wow, I really hope I get to do that someday ana. Congrats!

2:55 pm

and congrats ana! that's awesome

2:55 pm

it was wonderful. the hospitals midwifes were amazing with my daughter

2:55 pm

I was a labor coach for a friend of mine (her husband is not into such things) and it's a whole different experience on the "other end" of it.

2:55 pm

And last advice mael...DO NOT LISTEN TO ALL THE HORROR STORIES from well meaning friends and relatives.

2:56 pm

i think i did good too

2:56 pm

Son is about to call...bbl...31 left *poof*

2:57 pm

bye

2:57 pm

bye jill!

2:58 pm

Just popping in for a second. Mael, I've had migraines worse than childbirth! It's being pregnant I wasn't crazy about. Believe me, if it was horrible I wouldn't have done it 3 times!

2:59 pm

And, no offense to Jill, but not all labor and delivery nurses are super duper. Make sure you go in with your own plan in mind and stick to that.

2:59 pm

haha, thanks mimi! I have hated pregnancy so far, so labor actually seems like a welcome relief

3:00 pm

Nice to be in like company. I didn't like pregnancy either. All those women who talk about how wonderful and "glowy" it is are foreign to me.

3:01 pm

Being pregnant is like being POSSESSED! By the time birth is imminent, will do anything just to get them OUT! My blood pressure kept going DOWN in labor and the nurses said that was weird...I told them "You don't understand...this is the part I LIKE!"

3:01 pm

Molly, I wouldn't have glowed when I was pregnant if I'd stuck my finger into a light socket!

3:03 pm

Here's a tip, mael....if you have back labor, have someone push pressure points on the insides of both your knees simultaneously...completely takes back labor away while they're doing that. My husband came out of our second son's birth with cramped hands!

3:05 pm

My third child and only girl was only 5 hrs. start to finish and they had to tell me I was having contractions most of that time....I was playing Trivial Pursuit with the hubby! Also, I was induced all three times because I just don't go into labor on my own...don't believe the stories...no big deal and then they can move you right along.

3:08 pm

I'm gone...happy babbling, everyone!

3:08 pm

mimi, that is really good intel!

3:08 pm

thanks so much :)

3:09 pm

A pleasure, mael....poof!

3:09 pm

and the only thing that made me glow this pregnancy was the sheen of sickness on my face from all the morning sickness, I have to say

3:11 pm

OK, Molly---yes, I'm back from poof. Mael, I couldn't even keep water down during the first 3 months of my first pregnancy. Subsequent ones were better and my daughter was a snap. I think male children are more difficult on our bodies...think about it...you're needing to create male hormones for them...lots of work.

3:12 pm

I also craved salty things with my boys and sweets with my daughter. I named her Sara and told her the reason was because I craved Sara Lee during the pregnancy! She now has an incredible sweet tooth, which I do not.

3:15 pm

lol

3:15 pm

I have been craving sweets like a maniac. I don't even feel like a person these days if I don't have dessert

3:15 pm

I had three boys and experienced nothing of what Mimi is talking about. So again, each pregnancy, labor and delivery is unique.

3:17 pm

oh yes, definitely. But it's fun to speculate. Half of the old wife's tales say boy for me and the other half say girl. All I know is that it's hopefully not a kangaroo

3:20 pm

If you do any reading about pregnancy cravings, you will discover that there is really no evidence to back up any of the claims about them. And yes, old wives tales abound.

3:24 pm

:)

3:25 pm

No, mael, not a kangaroo! Yes, I think pregnancy is unique to each person. So much involved depends on individual makeup of the moms. All I know at this point is that mostly pregnancy SUCKS.

3:25 pm

LOL mael, I had a dream right before the first, came home, unbundled the baby and it was Kermit....our eldest son had a Kermit in his bassinette.

3:26 pm

Hello mimicat!

3:26 pm

Have you experienced the phenomenon of walking in one direction and all of a sudden baby shifts and you heading in another direction entirely...involuntarily!

3:26 pm

((Jilly))

3:27 pm

haha, no, but I have experience the baby knocking stuff out of my hands with a kick if I'm holding something next to my belly

3:28 pm

One of my cats was once lying on my VERY pregnant belly when my son kicked...she chased it with her paws and all of a sudden looked up at me as if to say "How did you do that?" It was priceless.

3:29 pm

my cat loves to sleep on me and there are definitely days when she gets kicked in the head so much that she just gets up and leaves, poor girl

3:29 pm

We also all have maternity tops with stains on "the shelf."

3:30 pm

LOL..hubby had the same experience, we were in bed, I rolled over into spoon position and John kicked hard. He jumped and realized what I was going through. Babuy was always active when I was going to sleep.

3:30 pm

I use my belly to hold tortilla chips when I want a snack...

3:31 pm

I was worried my cats would be jealous of my first baby. But my big male used to stay between the baby and the door and "guard" the baby! When he would cry, that cat would be frantic coming to me and telling me the baby was crying. Love animals.

3:31 pm

Good mael..teach baby early to assist you!

3:31 pm

hahaha, exactly. Might as well make itself useful

3:32 pm

Okay...back to babble...help with the co7/40 plz?

3:32 pm

Oh...haha...if only teaching them early to assist you actually worked...haha

3:32 pm

Of course, helpfulness will pretty much end when they become teenagers......oh, boy.

3:33 pm

Exactly right, Molly!

3:33 pm

oh dear, don't remind me that this baby will one day be a teenager

3:33 pm

it's the one I'm missing, jill

3:33 pm

My kids are early 30s and late 20s and I'm waiting for them to reach 40 when all of a sudden I become intelligent again...though I have not changed.

3:34 pm

Each stage has it's positives and its negatives...just enjoy!

3:34 pm

Live in blissful ignorance until the hormones kick in Mael. It's the only way.

3:35 pm

Actually, mael, if you get them "under control" when they're really young, you'll be in good shape. If I told my kids "do this or else," you could take "or else" to the bank..it was going to happen. None of mine were every problems because they had clear guidelines for their behavior. I was a developmental psychology major..they didn't have a chance!

3:36 pm

Molly darling...clue for the co7/40?

3:36 pm

Oh Mimi, discipline. Isn't it wonderful. That doesn't seem to be practiced anymore, however.

3:38 pm

The word "no" seems to now be a bad idea. But my feeling is that you should teach your children the concept of "no" while in a loving and supportive environment and get them used to it because when they're out in the world, it is a "world of no" and they won't be prepared for it.

3:39 pm

Guess I didi right then mimi, made sure kids knew WHY I asked the things I did. REmembered when eldest, home from bootcamp, called to ask if he could stay out past midnight! LOL, I thanked him for letting me know where he was, but that he was old enough not to ask permission any longer!

want to see discipine? go to the home of a teacher. my SIL said, ater dealing with a room full of unruly kids andparents who make excuses for them, she would NEVER allow her kids to be that way.

3:41 pm

Sometimes teaching comes back to bit you in the butt...I came back to Phoenix and lived at my daughter's for a short time. I had a friend who was a bartender and was picking me up around 1 am and my daughter said "Well, I want you back by 3." When I started to protest, she said "My house, my rules." How could I argue?!

3:42 pm

Now that I have two very young grandchildren, however, am looking forward to years of total indulgence!

3:42 pm

I can understand that, TO. Teachers have to put up with way too much crap these days.

3:42 pm

You whine, scream, jump up and down, hit your fists on the floor and say "that's unfair".

3:43 pm

And then storm out of the room...

3:43 pm

... yeah ... that's the ticket

3:43 pm

It is so not right that we pay so much for show business careers and so little for teachers....teaching is such an amazing vocation and we all owe a lot to our teachers.

3:44 pm

I was so happy to hear from teachers that they were glad to have another one of my children in their classes. High praise, indeed.

3:44 pm

<----I take the chance to tell teachers how much I appreciate them whenever I can!

3:45 pm

... sorry ... I just had a class of high school senior who would disagree with you ... I'd fail 'em all (well most of them) but they're not mine.

3:45 pm

...and nurses, Jilly! :)

3:46 pm

<---can't complain about wages, but do like appreciative patients!

3:46 pm

I don't think US teachers are allowed to fail kids anymore. Even the ones who deserve to fail. It's pathetic.

3:46 pm

I'm working on a type of teaching now myself and it excites me beyond belief...no money, but lots of satisfaction.

3:48 pm

Gotta run---have a rehearsal. Loved this whole discussion. Hugs all around.

3:48 pm

TAke care mimi!!

3:48 pm

Yes, Molly...really leaving.

3:49 pm

Sure...

3:49 pm

ROFL...poof!

Our eachers are paid very well, TY, That pendulum has swung.

4:00 pm

Teacher salaries, compared to the salaries of other professions, pale in comparison.

4:03 pm

Okay, one last try, still cannot find co7/40...it is my last word...PLZ!!

4:06 pm

co4/7 + pl4/5

4:07 pm

TY Jaxx7! FW at last!

4:07 pm

Hooray for Jilly

perhaps that vaeis by district. locals w/ a masters made as much as i did after 34 years. and I was hardly entry level

4:18 pm

It is an incentive to get young folk into teaching

4:22 pm

Well, anyone need any clues before I leave?

4:25 pm

Okay, heading out...have a nice evening all!

5:09 pm

here was my fun status for today Molly - its Friday, and I knew the lesson plan for the day was we were taking the students on a walking field trip to see a local art exhibit, so I skipped the makeup, jammed my hair up in a ponytail, and wore jeans and sneakers, because teachers are allowed to do that on Friday. What I DIDN'T know was that it was also "staff yearbook photo" day. Fun times!

7:07 pm

How are you doing tonight TO?

7:08 pm

and lil*monkey, how are you doing too?

7:11 pm

I have a feeling that now that I've sat down here I probably won't get my plans for straightening up the laundry room done tonight......

fine, nef, and i see you are as well.

7:13 pm

I'm doing fine now that I'll get a bit of peace & quiet tonight.

:)

well, i am done and time to clean up after dinner mess.

7:15 pm

:-) sometimes it seems that DH, our son, and the grandson are all asking me to do stuff all the time.

7:16 pm

(I've already cleaned up my dinner mess! I made a white sauce -from scratch- tonight and for once it wasn't lumpy! I don't think that's ever happened before! I make wonderful gravies, but my white sauce always has lumps

7:17 pm

have a good night, TO

waht did you serve it on?

7:19 pm

I had mashed potatoes, peas, and shrimp in a butter lemon sauce. The grandson doesn't like things mixed, so the white sauce was on the side. And Ronald cleaned his plate! (He didn't have and sauce)

7:19 pm

I love creamed peas with mashed potatoes

7:20 pm

Hello all just starting. We have had a very pleasant day doing indoor activities since it rained constantly. Now the clouds are parting and we have blue skies. Rainbow in the front and dog on the rug.

7:20 pm

Have you always called him Ronald Nef?

7:20 pm

Good for you nef. I need to make creamed peas. Perhaps tomorrow as I think we have leftovers in our immediate future.

sounds lovely, gmere. have a good evening.

7:21 pm

That's the name HE prefers lately, Molly.

7:21 pm

Sounds gorgeous, stidg. And very restful too

7:22 pm

Ah, I see. I thought maybe I was thinking of another grandson.

7:22 pm

Thank you TO always nice to catch up with my Babble friends. We need a little restfulness sometimes, Nef.

7:22 pm

Nope. he's our one and only.

7:22 pm

nef forget cleaning. do what i am doing. sitting in front of the tv with the LMN channel on!

7:23 pm

we all do at times, don't we stidg.

7:24 pm

LOL, cos. I'm on my computer with MPR on the radio. Very peaceful; nice music (MPR has a music station here; the Current

7:25 pm

cos, one of the cats got sick in there today on a rug, a box, and the floor. I cleaned that up and that may have squelched my plans to rearrange the room (I don't "DO" vomit! It makes me ill!)

7:27 pm

And yes, I'm a nurse, and have never been able to deal with that bodily fluid....

7:28 pm

ah. that complicates things.

7:30 pm

Working in ICU, I could tell my patients that if they got sick I would too; but they have meds so they just had to let me know and I'd give them something for nausea.

7:32 pm

*Has thrown up nausea meds*

7:34 pm

We had orders for the IV stuff; worked much better than any pills.

7:34 pm

It never made sense to me to have someone with an upset stomach swallow pills; to me at least, that's a losing battle

7:35 pm

Probably for the best. Having your nurse puking along with you does not inspire confidence. : D

7:36 pm

it really didn't! :-) I had a great bunch of co-workers, though. Some could handle puke better than -other body fluids (to be polite)

7:37 pm

oh, well I probably should shut up about it; it might be suppertime for some people here.

7:39 pm

Hi all :)

7:40 pm

hi smores! How are you tonight?

7:41 pm

doing well...just finished dinner...watched Whos Line is it

7:41 pm

Hi all :)

7:41 pm

HI Liz! How are you today?

7:42 pm

Hey Liz

7:42 pm

I'm well thanks - just finished breakfast here!

7:42 pm

Hope life is treating you both well :)

7:43 pm

Just need to finish my last 10 words.

7:44 pm

I am home alone And loving it! :-D (The 3 guys, DH, son, and grandson went to the circus for a "mens bonding" experience

7:44 pm

Sounds good to me - your bit, I mean, not the men's!

7:44 pm

sounds wonderful for them and you :)

7:45 pm

The circus...mens bonding...oh there is so much to be said about that : D

7:45 pm

I guess they'll enjoy it too!

7:45 pm

Hi Molly - all men are cl5s?

7:46 pm

That is one direction you could go : )

7:46 pm

;)

7:46 pm

Well, back when our kids were young, my DH was a clown with a mens' group. When our daughter was about 10, she started clowning with him. They were Fuzzy and Short Stuff (DH has a mustache that I won't ever let him shave)

7:46 pm

Circus in his blood!

7:47 pm

OOPS! I'm off to the PB now I guess. (At least I made it through the first almost an hour though! :-D

7:50 pm

*Hears women everywhere thinking "yeah, my husband is a cl5 too" *

7:52 pm

Fireworks - fun grid :)

7:52 pm

well, I can't say that anymore; it would take him about an hour to do his makeup to be a cl5; and once it reached the point that he was too exhausted after putting it on to cl5; he had to quit.

7:52 pm

evening all! left column done

7:52 pm

YAY, lizlin!!!! WTG!!!

7:53 pm

wtg, Dan2

7:53 pm

Hi Dan and thanks, Nef.

7:53 pm

Enjoy your evenings - unless you'd like some clues before I go.

7:55 pm

I'm fine, liz. I should really shut up and "work" the grid, maybe!

7:56 pm

good evening...

7:56 pm

hi Phandmd. Hoaw are you tonight?

8:05 pm

ok. thanks.

8:06 pm

actually, I am kind of freaking out, the next time I go to work (Tuesday) I will be on my own...

8:17 pm

hi, all (phan - orientation's over?)

8:17 pm

what kind of work are you doing now, phand?

8:19 pm

Finished the grid and now time to reheat leftovers. You will do fine phand. Being unsure just says you know you are still learning about your new job. That is fine!!

8:19 pm

hi, nef!

8:19 pm

(sorry, I did TRY to do some organizing stuff in my laundry area, but it's not a job for just one person. I can't move my storage shelves by myself

8:20 pm

hi welki. How are you tonight?

8:20 pm

<<--- agrees with stidgmere

8:20 pm

I agree too.

8:20 pm

was a long week, nef - tired, but feeling like i earned my $$

8:21 pm

???? I guess I thought you were retired, welki.?

8:23 pm

me retired? if only

8:25 pm

"phand, i think we all feel that way when we first come off orientation. just remember, they wont give you the worst assignments, your co-workers are your mentors, and its okay to ask questions, just do the best you can on the things you know how to do right

8:26 pm

my daughter is in her 3rd week of orientation in the picu (transferred from adult step-down unit)

8:28 pm

that's a jump! (Says the nurse who went from CV-ICU to tele-nursing to prenatal clinic!!! LOL!)

8:28 pm

(I'm chatting in the wrong box again, sorry for slow responses)

8:29 pm

she's a little shell-shocked - used to having 5 or 6 patients and in a unit where they aim for 1 on 1 (2 when busy)

8:30 pm

(plus she's now on night shift, so trying to adjust to that - with 2 small children)

8:31 pm

okay, adjusting to nights is a roughy.

8:31 pm

How young are her kids?

8:31 pm

1 and 4

8:31 pm

Toughy! (jeezz!

8:32 pm

it's rough and it's tough and it sounds like a beth nielsen chapman song :)

8:32 pm

I worked evening/ nights even before I had kids; for her family, that's an adjustment

8:32 pm

LOL!

8:34 pm

here's the song: http://tinyurl.com/kx7uesp

8:34 pm

sorry, I got side tracked.

8:34 pm

okay, back to finish this thing...got distacted with my girls

8:34 pm

down to the dozen

8:34 pm

Nef, I am working in a nursing home and yes, Welki, orientation seems to be over

8:35 pm

nef, she was a medic before becoming a nurse and her husband was, too, before he took over as manager of EMS - so they're used to wonky hours. it's just a different schedule - they'll work it out

8:35 pm

Welki, good luck to your daughter.

8:36 pm

thanks, phan - and good luck to you - they wouldn't let you be on your own if you didn't know your stuff

8:36 pm

hello all....can someone clue the bottom right hand corner N please?

8:37 pm

it is ne 4/5 uses double vowel...

8:38 pm

ty

8:40 pm

phand, I worked as an aide in my hometown nursing home through high school. After the past several years with DH and elderly relatives in different ones, I know it's a lot different than back in the 60's. I thoroughly loved working with the elderly population, always have and always will (which is a good thing since I'm turning into one!!). I hope you enjoy it too

8:40 pm

I do enjoy the elderly patient. But I do find this setting to be depressing.

8:41 pm

oh? How so?

8:41 pm

firewords! tx all cluers - po5 bear was my last

8:41 pm

It smells of pee and poop. and it feels like these people are warehoused.

8:41 pm

YAY, dan2bit!!!! WTG!!!

8:42 pm

oh no, phand. how big is the facility?

8:42 pm

plus it seems like the organization is not a great one. Communication is not great. Employees seem disgruntled. They are often short staffed.

8:42 pm

192 beds.

8:43 pm

oh dear. what shift will you be working?

8:43 pm

and how many are you in charge of?

8:44 pm

7a-330p which I am happy about. I am also happy that the facility is 7 miles away. I will have about 20 pts. can have up to 30 if they are short staffed...

8:44 pm

oh that's so many :(

8:44 pm

It doesn't seem they are that short staffed in the am shift, which is great.

8:46 pm

exactly, Welki. Now you know why I feel freaked out...

8:47 pm

It is a lot. I'm wondering what government agency they are under; that would be good to know.

8:49 pm

? I guess the state of Maryland? They talk about when the state is here, make sure you do this that or the other thing...

8:50 pm

My college roommate was adm. of several nursing homes here in MN and there are some pretty strict rules about cleanliness such. If they accept medicare/medicaid, they shouldn't be warehousing patients

Hi everyone! My final word is the first co5. Any clues?

8:52 pm

The Dept of health? or some other agency? Cheryl (my rookie) always made sure that they followed the letter all of the time, not just when the state came

8:52 pm

my first one is red, blue, green... but i haven't listed yet

8:53 pm

that is the first one. Thanks, Leslie

8:53 pm

that's mine also Natches girl. A crayon

8:55 pm

8:56 pm

8:59 pm

It must have been a tough week for you welki!

9:00 pm

9:23 pm

Hello rururocks, the flatterer!

9:24 pm

well that's better than flatulence I guess :D

9:25 pm

any guesses to what gourmet Chef Rururocks is having for dinner?

9:26 pm

wing wangs for goosey bridles, ruru?

9:26 pm

ruru doesn't like my jokes

9:27 pm

LOL! Well, *I* liked it; just won't be able to use it on my grandson yet.

9:28 pm

*thinks Jes should stick with saving lives and rescuing animals *

9:28 pm

have you asked your grandson what's brown and sticky?

9:28 pm

(I feel like I'm on borrowed time now; the guys will be home soon)

9:28 pm

Oh, My, jes. not sure if I dare yet!

9:28 pm

Beyoncé on a flystrip?

9:29 pm

a stick! :D

9:29 pm

isn't that her husband .. the "stick"

9:30 pm

LOL! Now THAT answer will be funny to him, jes! (He's one of those kids who is always bringing home "special" sticks!)

9:30 pm

Madonna sounds a lot like your nephew Nef..

9:31 pm

(He won't get your answer at all ruru. By the time he's old enough to know who Beyonce' is, she'll be out of the news

9:31 pm

thank god there's a time limit on her and Jennifer Lopez

9:33 pm

well, most entertainment "names are replaced by even worse ones I think

9:34 pm

you know what's yummy? sweet potato fritters.

9:34 pm

they are yummy jes

9:34 pm

hoping they're on the menu for brunch on Sunday

9:35 pm

<---off to make his "gourmet" dinner

9:35 pm

sweet potato oven-baked fries are good; I've never had a sweet potato fritter before

9:36 pm

microwavable tv dinner

9:36 pm

for ruru?

9:36 pm

ruru, what is your supper tonight?

9:36 pm

(that's what I'm going to guess too jes

9:36 pm

i have never had them before either... but i have decided tonight that I do :)

9:38 pm

I think I've only had fritters maybe once or twice ever. (and wasn't too impressed, I'd guess)

9:41 pm

nopa

9:41 pm

sorry, not a word

9:43 pm

yeah, next time slip up a word :)

9:45 pm

But I do that ALL the time jes. why do you think I spend so much time in the PB?

9:46 pm

because cookies?

9:46 pm

:-D well, that too.

9:48 pm

Earlier I kept chatting in the Add Word box; I've been trying very hard to behave the past couple of hours

9:50 pm

heheh.... i'm sure nobody really minds if you slip words here occasionally :)

9:51 pm

true; but an occasional slip is 1 thing; it's when I go nuts entering all sorts of words and non words in chog that it's very embarrassing

9:57 pm

Or paste the whole word list. That was classic. : D

9:58 pm

ahahaha. that'd be amusing

9:59 pm

Now that I have never don, Molly.

9:59 pm

done

9:59 pm

That has happened several times, but it isn't something I've personally done

10:01 pm

Congratulations Nef on your fireworks display!Way to go

10:03 pm

Sorry, Min. I haven't finished yet; I was trying to correct my spelling (I'd written "don" instead of "done" in my response to Molly

10:03 pm

I have 25 words left yet

10:06 pm

Hi Min. I saw a REALLY BIG picture of you in Dorens icon. : D

10:07 pm

that picture looks like you guys had a lot of fun, Min. :-)

10:11 pm

I think Welki has a smaller version of the same picture in her profile and Hello MollyL! How are you doing tonight?

10:11 pm

That's what happens when I don't pay attention to chog.

10:12 pm

Nef, I have a short story of clues in profile if you need it.

10:12 pm

she does have a smaller picture there. Did you enjoy your meet up, Min?

10:13 pm

I read your story already Min. (I wouldn't miss your stories if I can help it!)

10:14 pm

I've had internet problems this week and have fought with Comcast off and on all week

10:16 pm

C's completed! (Finally!)

10:17 pm

i still have 8 c's to go... among the 34 words i haven't found :)

10:18 pm

I'm down to 21 left. Not so easy to find

10:18 pm

Comcast SUCKS A**! Sorry,but I am a former customer of the so-called cable company.They tried to blame old wires on my bad cable reception&told me I had to get the new wires.So I changed to Direct TV and have not had a problem since & I'm still using same cable wires.

10:18 pm

Cool Nef!

10:18 pm

hey, there are words that start with m! down to 29 :)

10:19 pm

(I keep making words up or mis-typing; not sure which)

10:19 pm

I had a great time at the meetup Nef. Can't wait to do it again! I was nervous at first, but everyone was so great

10:21 pm

why is conmen not a word? what else would you call scammers and grifters? (heh. spellcheck doesn't know either of those words either!)

10:22 pm

Glad you had fun Min. I assume Dorens is selling a poster of the event. : )

10:22 pm

We switched to Direct TV years ago; but Comcast has been the only internet provider in this small area where we live (lakes on 2 sides, nature preserve just south of us a block; and the original Comcast office was about 2 miles away. We're also about 2 miles away from 2 tall radio towers.

10:22 pm

bottom row grey :)

10:24 pm

left column gray

10:24 pm

I have a big old "G" greyed out

10:25 pm

I tried conmen jesdraggon and I agree,should be a word.

10:26 pm

oh-oh. The guys are home now. My mini vacation (my home alone time) is probably over

10:26 pm

Great Nef!

10:26 pm

ah, does that mean you're leaving us?

10:26 pm

Hate it when my alone time is over! Glad U got alone time

10:28 pm

LOL!! Nope, I have decided my son can settle the grandson now. That little guy is so excited and on such a sugar high I told my son HE has to settle him down now!

10:29 pm

but riling them up and and handing them to someone else is much more fun than settling them down yourself

10:30 pm

(Ronald is literally bouncing off the wall; telling me about the motorcycle guy, etc. AND his new ray-gun too! (I so hope those batteries die fast!)

10:30 pm

motorcycle guy? where did they go?

10:32 pm

they went to the circus. There were 2 different motorcycle acts I guess, something about going inside a ball

10:32 pm

ah, fun

10:37 pm

OMG, it's hilarious to watch him! His mouth is going full tilt and he's shooting his ray gun (which has all sorts of colored lights flashing on it) and he's running around doing some of the poses and bows that the performers must have done! What a kick!

10:38 pm

Whew! Hopefully, he's down for the night now.

10:43 pm

10:45 pm

Goodbye MissOmnibus! I will see you later in the chat log.

11:46 pm

And I'm going to have a "leetle choclit!" :-D

11:46 pm

uh, apple cinnamon, i guess? he put dehydrated apples in fireball whiskey to rehydrate, then put those in cinnamon ice cream

11:47 pm

and bittersweet chocolate :)

11:47 pm

sounds intriguing

11:47 pm

bye, Miss

11:47 pm

and little strange

11:49 pm

okay, I have to be up early tomorrow because I bid on a "huge lot" of costumes from the theater Grant used to act with (they are trying to pay off debts...). And sight unseen Grant tells me it could take several minivan trips. And then the table I bought and the chairs. *sigh* great bargains for real, but wow. A bit more than I really have room for I think.

11:49 pm

yeah not my favorite flavor. but Laura (the gremlin who lives in our garage) likes it.

11:49 pm

what is fireball whiskey?

11:49 pm

Was the chocolate separate or incorporated in the ice cream?

11:49 pm

hahahah. have fun moving, stid :)

11:49 pm

it's cinnamon whiskey

11:49 pm

thanks for playing with me and helping me to finish with some of my best babble buddies! **scatters oodles of choclits on way out** *poof*

11:49 pm

chocolate is a separate option

11:49 pm

hugs, stid!

11:49 pm

What will you do with the costumes, stid?

11:50 pm

Darn, I missed her..

11:51 pm

Oh. I thought the chocolate was part of the ice cream.

11:51 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you later in the chog maybe

11:51 pm

the cinnamon whiskey sounds really odd.

11:51 pm

Well, I'm heading out also...have sweet sleeps everyone! See ya tomorrow!

11:52 pm

bye, jilly

11:52 pm

bye Jilly! Sleep soundly!

11:52 pm

i dunno, nef, they have all sorts of vodka flavors, right?

11:53 pm

I don't do alcohol, but I like cinnamon in my coffee.

11:54 pm

yeah, the alcohol-y tang was part of why that's not my favorite ice cream...

11:54 pm

I guess they do, jes. I'm not a drinker. I did have some Ginness on St. Patricks Day though (and tasted some sort of whiskey then Glenlivit?- something

11:55 pm

omnomnom

11:56 pm

i think i had half of an apple cider about that time... :D big drinker!

11:56 pm

DH and his friend had 4 samples of the whiskey, I liked the 15 or 16 year old stuff lots better than the 18 year old whiskey (it was much smoother to me)

11:57 pm

<------ struggling to stay awake for the flip

11:57 pm

howdy how

11:57 pm

yeah; I only had half of the glass of guiness, and tiny sips of the 2 best whiskey samples and that was more than enought
