pugs, you would have had such a laugh. the other day all my family were gathered at my bro's to celebrate the nephew's birthday. little grace, who is 2, wanted a rubber ball which me bro was holding, and he wouldn't give it to her until she said please or ta. finally she got frustrated and started to whimper, but th4 didn't do any good. so she pretended to look away, and at the same time she swiped at the ball with her hand, knocking it out of my bro's hand. she is only TWO!! i couldn't believe my eyes...

LOL...shes got a quick mind--serves him right

1:33 am

Clever girl! Hi all :)

1:33 am

Hi Liz--how are you today

1:33 am

Fine thanks - and you?

1:34 am

Iam okay

1:34 am

Strange grid - taking me a while to see anything.

1:35 am

I had trouble getting on--the server was down again

1:36 am

I've just come back from the gym, so this is my first sight of the grid and I got in without trouble.

1:37 am

yesterday it was for a good little bit

1:37 am

down

1:38 am

It seems a bit unreliable at the moment.

1:38 am

Did I say something to scare Rose off?

1:43 am

I dont think so--she may of went to the loo or slip into her pj's

1:43 am

I'm sure you're right.

1:44 am

Do you know the stats for the 7s?

1:44 am

said she was really sore from the pool workout today

1:44 am

Poor Rose - I'm sure the jolt from the car didn't help her.

1:44 am

no Liz, I dont--I just got here not to long before you

1:44 am

OK.

1:46 am

finally, my internet went down.

1:46 am

Liz, I went to lickety and they are mi 740 and ph 736

1:46 am

Knew I hadn't really scared you off! lol!

1:47 am

and both my posts have disappeared....hello liz, girl, nice to see you

1:47 am

Thanks, Pugs.

1:48 am

Good to see you too - it's always nice to come to babble and see friends/

1:48 am

Found the mi 7 - thanks to you, Pugs.

1:48 am

things are pretty erratic here. we don't understand why we keep losing our connection. and if it's not the internet, our phone line goes.

1:49 am

Is someone building around you

1:49 am

So annoying, Rose. We had that a while ago. Telstra were really great (not many people say that!)

1:50 am

maybe you got a ghost messing with you--lol

1:50 am

yeah, my husband is one of those who knock telstra. so we have optus for our phone and internet.

1:51 am

Rose, with all the searching going on, it might be messing with your airwave stuff

1:51 am

lol, pugs...we jokingly say th4 the bermuda triangle has taken up residence here

1:51 am

Well I hope optus can sort it for you!

1:51 am

i said that too!

1:52 am

boy, th4 triangle sure gets around, doesn't it?

1:52 am

Sure does.

1:52 am

OK - I'll be back - need to find something to eat after the gym!

1:53 am

personally, i have been with telstra for over 40 years.

1:53 am

okay Liz

1:54 am

bring something back for me...doesn't matter what, so long as it contains more calories th4 i burned up in the pool....lololol

1:54 am

I wonder how long they are going to keep up with that plane searching

1:54 am

haven't heard the latest, pugs. is there any further news?

1:54 am

nope

1:55 am

thats just so weird too

1:55 am

I dont understand why they cant send a sub in

1:56 am

i know, and the relatives are saying...why didn't you search the indian ocean before? and i'm saying, why would they? it's the opposite direction to which the plane was supposed to be flying.

1:57 am

pugs, the weather is pretty rough, and the currents are very strong, particularly at this time of year.

1:57 am

they are not even sure thats where it is

1:57 am

not one piece of it has been found so far

1:58 am

i had a bit of a giggle the other day. apparently air malaysia are offering some very cheap airfares at the moment. and i'm thinking, why would i go on one of their planes?

1:58 am

LOL--true

2:02 am

Iam going to open all my windows today and let the house air out----I like the fresh air of spring

2:03 am

oh, so do i, pugs. every door and every window....the smell of spring air is so lovely.

2:05 am

We are sending in a sub with some gadget to pick up the pings!

2:05 am

Howdy

2:05 am

I will feel a hundred percent better if these hot compresses would do their job

2:05 am

and of course, down here in our 'new' bedroom, when i open the windows, the perfume from my cecil brunner rose wafts in. it is in the garden bed, right outside the bedroom windows.

2:05 am

Hi Hootowl

2:05 am

howdy hoot. yes, i read th4 the other day.

2:05 am

oh how nice Rose

2:06 am

hi - I saw that this afternoon on someplace

2:06 am

You'd probably have better sources than I do rose

2:09 am

Yahoo has 3 separate ones with comments and I have very serious doubt about the intelligence level of most of the commentors!

2:10 am

roflol, hoot. i know...they say the most stupid things.

2:10 am

About the only thing they haven't siggested was a big hole in the ovcean that sucked them down to a new world!

2:11 am

like atlanta, do you mean?

2:11 am

oh, you forgot the aliens....

2:11 am

I guess, they don't know what they are talking about and it's starting to effect me!

2:12 am

3 different ones!

2:13 am

what?? are they doing your head in?? i can do th4, dear. just give me 5 minutes of your life...*giggle*

2:13 am

notachance!

2:13 am

spoil sport!!

2:13 am

hah!

2:14 am

what are they saying?? can you please quote them? i need a laugh..

2:16 am

The biggest problem is geography.

2:17 am

They don't teach it any more and none of these fools have any idea just how big this planet is and how huge the ocean is!

2:19 am

Really isn't laughable. They really have no idea of distance or size and I doubt any of them could find Malaysia on a map!

2:20 am

And they really believe that someone flew that plane to "spmewhere" and they are going to use it to blow us up.

2:20 am

oh, dear...

2:21 am

for goodness sake, hoot...

2:21 am

They also don't know that every country in that area is worried about his neighbor and they all keep an eye on everyone.

2:22 am

I WAS surprised at what they ALL have myself.

2:24 am

Unless they are just putting on a show, I don't think anyone there trusts anyone else so they have a lot of stuff I'm not sure they know how to use?

2:25 am

And right in the middle is Chana trying to become supersuper!

2:25 am

I have to stop, my fingers aren't keeping up with my brain which went into free fall about 2 hrs ago!

2:25 am

exactly hoot...the eastern countries are so suspicious of each other. and those people need to try and understand, the ocean floor is nearly 2 1/2 miles deep at th4 particular point.

2:26 am

is th4 the same as mouth with no connection to brain syndrome??

2:27 am

poor hoot...are you going to be able to sleep, dear?

2:28 am

No one does. Wasted a lot of time trying to explain this to the idiots on the boards. They don't believe it! I don't think 5% of our citizens have ever been to either of our coasts and seen the sea!

2:30 am

Oh- I'll sleep. I cannot do anything about lack of intelligence so I just tell what I can in the simplest way possible and hope some of it sinks in.

2:30 am

good morning all

2:30 am

Morning Sprite--hugs

2:31 am

What scares me is the morons whose first idea is to blow up everyone...then find out who you killed!

2:31 am

hi sprite - been a long time!

2:31 am

{{hugs}} sprite...xoxox

2:32 am

*hugs pugs and rose* Hi hootowl, it certainly is, great to see you :)

2:32 am

2:33 am

How have you been?

2:34 am

2:35 am

Glad to hear it, all ok on my end except arthritis in my hips.

2:35 am

2:50 am

giggles are good

2:53 am

2:54 am

Hey flosey..tell jilli..she's showing up on milk cartons these days

2:55 am

2:56 am

I think Flosey plays bridge with Jilli on Mondays, so perhaps she'll have news tomorrow.

3:01 am

3:07 am

my cold med induced mind babbling on

3:07 am

Mankini??

3:07 am

we love you, cold meds and babbling head and all, flosey

3:08 am

ruru i did some gardening over the weekend during our mini heatwave and promised the girls (and any guys who were so inclined) a mankini pic whilst I was gardening but I haven't taken it yet lol

3:08 am

A mankini being a male version of a bikini

3:08 am

thanks guys but not feeling so hot today, so instead of throwing a wet blanket on your guys funnin, Iam just listening

3:08 am

sounds like it is made for man boobs.

3:08 am

Oh geez...

3:08 am

Hope you feel better very soon, pugs.

3:09 am

don't go there, ruru. unless you have the balls to fill it...lolol

3:09 am

thanks Liz, I will

3:09 am

Lol

3:09 am

in stead of funning, we could listen and help you feel better, pugs. *warm hug*

3:09 am

Never thought I'd hear my Mother talk like that!!! pmsl

3:10 am

lol rose :D

3:10 am

thanks Sprite--but you guys are making me feel better

3:10 am

oh, dear....poor worzel...let me introduce you to a very down-to-earth mother...

3:10 am

...says a few hail Mary's for rose...

3:11 am

And your son loves you all the more for your debauched attitude and ways xx

3:11 am

ok :D Did the youknowwhat go youknowwhich?

3:11 am

quite wasted, ruru....

3:11 am

I will say a few Hail Roses for ruru

3:11 am

xoxoxox, worzel

3:11 am

Yay for debauchery!

3:12 am

Me, on the other hand, knows nothing of debauchery . . .

3:12 am

and while I am at it, a few Hail Halibuts for flosey

3:12 am

Lol

3:12 am

;)

3:12 am

lolol, yeah right...worzel, let me show you how a double positive means a negative...roflol

3:13 am

I know all about double negatives - you should see my tax returns!

3:14 am

lol, I did have halibut on my mind when I woke up - butI was mixing it up with some clues I think

3:14 am

I heard flosey..bought a new car with a bigger engine

3:14 am

okay then...th4 is double negatives...think about the double positive...yeah...right...

3:14 am

filed my taxes yesterday and looks like we will be getting some refunds. But why do they change the program every year, darn it... stress the size of T-rexes while filling it in.

3:15 am

oh lordy Mum's gone off into a world of grammatical dichotomies again . . . xx

3:15 am

It is turbot charged

3:15 am

Lol

3:15 am

roflol ruru

3:15 am

sprite...if the taxation office doesn't stress everyone...well...their job is not done

3:16 am

*sigh* you try to raise them well and educate them, right rose, and all you get are snappy retorts...

3:16 am

true, rose. In the netherlands they have this ongoing ad that claims: "We cannot make it any more fun. But we can make it easier." Only... they don't.

3:16 am

* folding in half with laughter* sprite

3:16 am

we've been looking, ru, but waiting until the 'all clear' to know that I will still have a license and guess I do - can't see buying a new one, just a cleaner one that I have

3:17 am

awww I wasn't being snappy - just an argumentative sod! Thank goodness for the firm hand of a Mother, eh Rose? xx

3:18 am

teat

3:18 am

oh balls sorry!

3:19 am

lolol the combination of posts is interesting

3:19 am

Think I'll get back to bed before I make any more blundering idiotic comments

3:19 am

lol worzel

3:19 am

3:28 am

worzel...never fear, mother is here...lol

3:28 am

thank u mum - down to 2 for nbt now - plodding, plodding . . .

3:30 am

yay nbt - and they were bleeding obvious when I found them, too!!!

3:32 am

Being as I don't smoke in the house I shall now go outside and have a celebratory ciggie. See you all in a few xx

3:32 am

Enjoy, worz x

3:35 am

worzel....not going to lecture you on smoking...just letting you know...mother rose smoked once...until angiogram. it it too frightening...i will support you whichever way you go..

3:37 am

I agree Rose but as a non smoker don't like to comment.

3:40 am

Pls?

3:40 am

Im 6/33 pls?

3:40 am

I totally agree Mum. I have had smoking cessation classes two years in a row and am finding it SO difficult to stop. It's not only a dirty habit but one of the most dangerous and addictive - I shall give up though - but I'm beginning to think the only option left is hypnotherapy! I'm seriously willing to try anything

3:41 am

an abbreviation for improvisation

3:41 am

Good luck when you do, worz

3:41 am

ty x

3:41 am

Thanks. Good clue, as ever.

3:42 am

worzel...you have to be the one in control... it will not work unless it is from YOUR heart.

3:44 am

Yes, so my cessation teacher taught me. I did give up for about 6 weeks two years ago and don't know what made me start again. But I WILL do it! I just need to be in the right place, mentally x

3:45 am

Does anyone want to go and finish painting my fence for me? Or must I go and put my sexy shorts on again and do it myself?

3:46 am

I vote for sexy shorts!

3:47 am

fairy nuff! Right, then, I best get me legs out and go paint! We have 2 days of dry weather forecast so I'd best make the most of it. I shall say adieu for the while and will talk to you all again vv soon xxxx love you all esp Mum xxxxxx

3:47 am

exactly, darling. when i faced the fact th4 i would not survive to see the grandkiddies grow to adulthood, or reap the benefits from my knee surgery, it was very real to me.

3:48 am

Have a lovely day, worz xx

3:48 am

*smiling at you* thanx dearest worzel.

3:49 am

ty liz. Mum u truly are an inspiration and I shall follow in your footsteps with the non smoking very soon - I promise. But for now my lovely (he lies) fence is a-calling, so it's sexy shorts and frightened neighbours time!!! Bye for now and have a lovely day/evening wherever you are xx *poof*

3:50 am

{{hugs}} and lots of kisses, worzel. please give my fondest wishes to the other half.

3:52 am

Shall do Mum ((((hugs)))) and from us to you and Don *poof* for deff this time! *POOF*

3:55 am

Taking a break. Have a lovely evening, Rose. Hugs.

3:57 am

xoxox, to worzel and liz

6:05 am

6:06 am

Poor little, lonely Ruby *Sniff*

6:06 am

{{molly}} it must be the flea collr,putting people off

6:07 am

Could be. The "wet dog" smell doesn't help either. : D

6:07 am

thankfully, no rain for a couple of days so they're ess "frgrant\"

6:08 am

It seems all your rain migrated over here.

6:08 am

believe it or not, we need rain. I've been having to water the spring plants

6:08 am

last spring, all we had as grey and rain

6:08 am

This year,it's gorgeous

6:09 am

Ah, gorgeous is good. I remember gorgeous.

6:11 am

I noticed yesterday when walking my girl dog, instead of having a standard straight-legged gait (like Ruffino), she walks like a runway model, one foot in front of the other, Very seductive

6:12 am

She is turning into a lovely dog

6:14 am

Ikeep trying amphora, but it doesn't quite work

6:15 am

But I just found an unusual Sou African flower

6:17 am

Not up on my south African flora.

that's my ruby:))

6:21 am

Trying to pay a bill by phone this AAM, I spent more than 40 mins waiting and being referred to other numbers and never did get it done! Banging my head against the wall

6:22 am

well, they must not want their money that badly.

6:22 am

I'm afraid they'll cut off our serice

6:23 am

no wonder this country is broke and businesses are fleeing in droves (or even in slithy toves)

6:24 am

here, the service providers are fighting like cats and dogs for our custom now. They are finally getting the idea that we have many choices now.

6:25 am

last year alone something like 2 million people cancelled their T.V cable service for Netflix alone. that is not taking into account sat t.v and other online options

6:27 am

people what to watch what they want, and when they want to watch it, and as much of it as they feel like at the time without the restrictions of cable, and you sure as heck cannot beat $7.99 a month taxes inc

6:28 am

and I am onb the cust of telling them that they can have my land line as well.

6:28 am

on the cusp*

6:28 am

service is generally poor, and although there's away to get to Netlix, I don't really want to watch movies on my computer

6:29 am

we don't have a portabe, so must keep our landline, makes it easier for the telemarketers lol

6:29 am

I have a smart tv, ruby. my computer internet modem beams the signal directly to my tv set

6:29 am

i never sit in front of computer to watch tv:))

6:29 am

since the livebox is two stories away fro the TV, it isn't powerful enough to transmit. I had a technician come to tell me that

6:30 am

that is the problem with French girlfriends; they come in dazzle the room, leave you spellbound then vanish like the wind in the grass leaving you wondering if it was real, or but a dream.

LOL crossy

6:57 am

there are quite a number of regular, used everyday, TH words in here. Did not see them all till just now, because though common in every day living, many of them simply do not make a showing in the babble grid that often

6:58 am

we are usually too busy looking for those 9 letter gaelic wonders that were translate into Sanskrit;)

im6/33 is an abbreviation, which Enable says it does not accept. Ha!

9:22 am

9:22 am

Enable is a pain in the arse.

9:22 am

lol, yes Judi

Hi Ruby

9:33 am

scrabs is multilingual.

9:33 am

After spending more than 40 minutes this AM trying to pay a bill by phone, I just did it in 5 minutes. These French!!!!

9:34 am

vive la France!!

9:34 am

back...had to take the dog out

9:34 am

Hego, I have learned many basic words in many languages by doing crossword puzzles and Babble.

9:34 am

ar anyone?

9:35 am

Me too Scrabs

9:35 am

Things like that make me a little crazy; they keep you on hold for 5-6 minutes and then it goes to busy OR they tell you to call another number or they can't fid your record. And it's all in French, so it' always a challenge

9:36 am

That must be very difficult, Ruby.

9:36 am

It's surprising how many Fr words appear in babble but they are very inconsistent about foreign foods, e.g. natto 00Japanese sticky beans, not accepted but to4 and 5, accepted

9:37 am

It has certainly forced me to improve my French, that's for sure, and husband speaks less and less and now, only to the housekeeper

9:38 am

a lot of Italian words here too.

9:39 am

does anyone have the ar/

9:39 am

Today husband went to buy some peony supports for me. I showed them what I had, explained what they do, and he came home with 3 new plants, very spindly ones, and no supports.....aaarghhh

9:40 am

Peonies are the stars of the garden

9:40 am

Poor Ruby

9:41 am

If I wasn't lazy, I would shop with him, but it's very tiresome and there is so much to do around here

9:41 am

The garden is starting to ook beautiful again, that and the dogs are my joys

9:41 am

Maybe you should shop and let him do the chores.

9:42 am

hahaha

9:42 am

You rang?

BO6 clue please?

1:31 pm

hi cos

1:33 pm

bo + the interest percentage you get on a mortgage loan

1:34 pm

Just wanted to tell you i saw my doctor today

1:34 pm

I asked for a Rx on Chantix! woo hoo. now to wait for payday friday so I can pay 100 bucks :P

1:36 pm

molly i have no idea

1:36 pm

bo +Z this movie is ****d Pg-13

1:36 pm

(ignore the z)

1:37 pm

ah ty

1:37 pm

both of you

1:37 pm

But, cos, think of all the money you'll save by not smoking...not just cigarettes but health care costs now and later. I watched my big, strong father die a slow horribly humiliating death from having been a smoker...give it up, please.

1:38 pm

Mimi - I asked for the Rx :) I knew how much it would cost but I decided 100 bucks is worth my life :)

1:38 pm

It's so hard to clue sometimes. I was sure that interest rate was a commonly known phrase.

1:38 pm

Absolutely, cos...good for you!

1:39 pm

agree with mimi

1:39 pm

if it matters I got the word from your clue :)

1:39 pm

Cos, do you have one of the many prescription discount cards available? They save a fortune. I can steer you toward one if you like.

1:39 pm

I am excited Mimi!

1:39 pm

Cos, have you done your research on Chatix? If not, please do, before you start taking it.

1:40 pm

Ooh thanks for reminding me.. yes I have one let me double check

1:40 pm

molly - yes I have. for a few days plus the doc explained what would happen

1:40 pm

TA6 clue please

1:40 pm

*could

1:41 pm

Everything has a down side...I had a friend who took it and he was very successful in quitting. The benefits seem to outweigh the risks/side effects.

1:41 pm

chantix has ba side effects and can cause a lot of bad things

1:41 pm

I have a prescripton savings card from my insurance

1:41 pm

Great, cos! Glad I reminded you!

1:41 pm

doc said "one side effect is gaining weirght but thats not a concern. we want that to kick in" lol

1:41 pm

mimi glad for your friend:)

1:42 pm

Thanks, ML...he sounds so much better on the radio now.

1:42 pm

mimi not a good place to be puffing or coughing

1:42 pm

mimi not a good place to be puffing or coughing

1:43 pm

mimi does your friend eat sweets or other somi habits since kicking that one?

1:43 pm

I'm not saying I am against quitting smoking. That is a very good thing. But many of the drugs doctors prescribe have scary possible side effects. Chantix is one of them.

1:43 pm

Also found a coupon for chantix online.. 75% off with Rx from doctor

1:44 pm

Hey, guys, could I get a little advice/support? I mentioned before I was basically ending a long friendship due to her lying to me as well as many other issues. She has had her 84-year-old mother call me and now has had her son (my godson) email me trying to get me to contact her. I don't answer the phone but did reply to my godson. I don't want to be cruel but I'm simply done. Any suggestions?

1:44 pm

molly where i live we get thos warnings nd lawyers advertisements on tv about things like chantix .. very scary

1:45 pm

did you explain the situation to your godson?

1:45 pm

mimi ignore all of them

1:45 pm

I kind of explained, cos. But I didn't say too much because I didn't want to bash his mother.

1:45 pm

TA 6 clue please?

1:46 pm

The fact that she is "using" other people to try to get in contact with you says to me that you made the right decision. Gently tell those playing "go between" that this is none of their concern.

1:46 pm

torg

1:46 pm

oops

1:46 pm

I've already told my family to ignore calls from her for their own sake...she would drive them crazy.

1:47 pm

This is getting a bit much/// close to stalkering behavir. be careful

1:47 pm

dnt you just love people who think they have done nothing wrong?

1:47 pm

You're absolutely right, Molly...that kind of behavior is what caused me to make this decision in the first place. I've tried to explain my viewpoint to her but she only gets defensive and attacks me. I just don't need that in my life. What was WRONG with me putting up with that for so long?!

1:49 pm

Then she emails me saying she didn't ask them to contact me...exactly how stupid does she think I am?!!

1:50 pm

ah riously what family or friends would get involved ike tat if not asked duhh??

1:50 pm

Luckily, cos, she lives in Georgia and I'm in Arizona. Otherwise, she's be at my doorstep on a continual basis.

1:50 pm

mimi ugghh

1:51 pm

I'm by no means a perfect person but I've hung in there and tried to help her so much but she never acts on anything to make her situation any better..she'd rather just complain about how bad things are. Well, that's just not who I am...I can't respect that.

1:52 pm

I felt now was a good time to end it since I just know when he mother is gone, she'll want to move in with me and have me take care of her....THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN and it's best she knows that now so she can make other plans.

1:53 pm

It really is stalker like, obsessive behavior. People like that are disturbed and will have a negative impact on your life.

1:53 pm

ta6 sticky stuff you put on a roof *** + a frying ***

1:54 pm

mimi how old is she that she thinks she would need someone to take care of her if her mother dies?

1:54 pm

I've been too forgiving in the past with people and it has cost me dearly. How could I have maintained a relationship with a woman who was screwing my boyfriend while I was in the hospital losing his baby? The list goes on....guess I am actually stupid.

1:54 pm

ty nicky

1:54 pm

mimi are you serious???

1:54 pm

I don't think it is how old she is. It is the fact that she seems to have depended on help from others all her life instead of forging her own path.

1:55 pm

Can't you have the phone company block their numbers?

1:55 pm

molly i agree was just curious

1:55 pm

If it gets worse get a TRO on the people who have been calling.

1:55 pm

you need caller ID

1:56 pm

We all make mistakes in relationships. Better to lose the term "stupid" and realize that this is just a lesson that took a while to learn.

1:56 pm

vapor

1:56 pm

oops

1:56 pm

i have that word already Nicky

1:56 pm

She's 64 but has been on disability (for no good reason, in my opinion) for 20 years. She could not survive financially on her own without her mother's retirement income. You hit it right on the head, Molly....I want peace in my life now, so I'm doing something about it....she never will help herself.

1:56 pm

thanks my last V! :)

1:57 pm

lol cos

1:57 pm

Yes, Molly, I should watch the language I use with myself...stupid is a bad message to send. I'm going to change that message to compassionate and tolerant but within reasonable limits.

1:58 pm

is that what it means mimi?

1:59 pm

Learning to set reasonable boundaries takes some of us (myself included) a long time.

1:59 pm

OR 6clue please?

2:00 pm

OK---thanks, everyone. As usual, it's nice to have your support and sensible advice. I can't allow my sympathy for her to negatively impact my life...and it has for a long time.

2:00 pm

i think we all know those feelings molly

2:00 pm

annie was one, mlf

2:00 pm

is that the only or6

2:01 pm

I tried setting boundaries, Molly, thinking that would be a good "hedge" step...but she won't respect them, so I simply have to eliminate the relationship entirely. I know the decision was right because I feel very calm and sure about it.

2:01 pm

No idea. Im planning on not listing

2:01 pm

mimi that is th important part:)

2:02 pm

That is the only OR6.

2:02 pm

And I just can't afford to send her any more money...especially when she lies to me to get it.

2:03 pm

thanks zoom.

2:03 pm

im6/33 clue please?

2:03 pm

I have mi7 whats the other one please>

2:03 pm

yw :-)

2:03 pm

She's one of those people who cannot take even the most positive suggestion...she gets defensive and attacks...really goes for the jugular and brings up all kind of stuff from decades ago. Who needs that?

2:03 pm

mimi why would you send her any money??????

2:03 pm

mi4

2:03 pm

is that a joke? IM6

2:03 pm

Hi, zooz--long time no chat! Good to see you.

2:04 pm

ph cos

2:04 pm

I mean the other 7 zoom but thanks needed that mi4

2:04 pm

Hello, Mimi :-)

2:04 pm

Oh...lol...Sorry, Cos :-)

2:04 pm

Hello babbleworld!

2:05 pm

Mimi, from what you have said here, this person discovered that you were once again "money solvent" and immediately started taking advantage of that. It sounds to me like you were giving what you couldn't afford to give in the first place.

2:05 pm

Hello, Jilly :-)

2:05 pm

phantom phantom

2:05 pm

hi jilly

2:05 pm

ph 7cos

2:06 pm

She said she needed it and she did help me a bit when I had problems after the heart attack. But she forgets and asks me for money for the same thing more than once. I just won't stand for being lied to, especially since I suspect she actually needs the money for substances.

2:06 pm

Molly, you are very astute. I can always rely on you to put the exactly right perspective on things!

2:06 pm

Oh well, if this is about abuse and addiction, those people lie like they were born to do it.

2:07 pm

((Jilly))

2:07 pm

so true molly

2:07 pm

Hi mimi dear ((hugs))

2:07 pm

omg the captions on tv is pissing me off.. theyre spelling ethel's name on i love lucy wrong!

2:07 pm

I don't know about astute. I've just had some lived experience that can lend perspective on occasion.

2:07 pm

hi all!

2:08 pm

That sucks, Mimi...I loaned a so called friend £5000 And since then have never seen them again. And that was over 8 years ago.

2:08 pm

Hello, Sue :-)

2:08 pm

these i words are driving me nuts

2:08 pm

hi zooz

2:08 pm

hi zooz!

2:08 pm

Some of the best advice I ever heard is "never lend anyone money you expect to get back"

2:09 pm

I've sent her $400 since August....each time because the "car broke down." Well, they've replaced everything in it now! Last time she asked for $150 because they were going to turn off her electric...yeah, right...that doesn't happen for just one month of being late, so I did not send it and decided I was just done.

2:09 pm

Mlf..you mean you are becoing IR 5/10 trying to find the Is..lol#

2:09 pm

Hi, sue!!!

2:09 pm

2:09 pm

hi uusue and zoozzoom

2:10 pm

Don't forget to add a letter on the end for the IR6

2:10 pm

I never expected to get it back, Molly, I just don't appreciate being lied to and also her attitude was like she somehow was entitled.

2:10 pm

mimi once you are in you are in

2:10 pm

And I really, truly hope that everyone here learned a lesson about "sending money to people who cry poor on the internet". I still feel bad for everyone who got taken in that scam.

2:11 pm

Sounds to me as if you have done the best thing then, Mimi.

2:11 pm

zooz thats bizarre i tried that word befo and it never went in now it does geez

2:11 pm

I'm going to get back to work and stop dominating the chat. Thanks again, everyone. The support is much appreciated. HAGD and hugs all around.

2:11 pm

mimi you should have asked her for proof

2:12 pm

Yes many people gave money to that cause, Molly..very sad for people to be used like that.

2:12 pm

((Mimi))

2:12 pm

2:13 pm

A type of skit etc. that is made up as you go - im6/33

2:13 pm

ML, you'll appreciate this. She asked for money to fix the car and I sent it. The next month she asked for money for groceries since the car breaking down took all her money.....I PAID FOR THE CAR!!

2:14 pm

jilly got it

2:14 pm

mimi why???????

2:15 pm

What can one say, Mimi except..Wow.

2:15 pm

it sounds like those things could happen but really?

2:15 pm

Mimi, deep breath, stand tall, and walk away from this - sounds tough, but you must consider what this is doing to you

2:15 pm

Hello, Flosey :-)

2:15 pm

2:35 pm

Awwww.....

2:36 pm

2:37 pm

Hi flosey, hego, and molly and all. Just starting and need to get our lunch warmed up. It isn't raining so my husband is trying to do some outdoor chores.

2:37 pm

This place is chock full of the most amazing husbands. They cook, they clean, they do laundry, they bring flowers. Woo!

2:37 pm

Hi Stid!!

2:38 pm

Hi Gran Mere.

2:38 pm

2:39 pm

Mine is to have an opnext week and will be off his feet for 6 weeks and resticted activity after that.

2:39 pm

I was down for 6 weeks and got waited on.

2:39 pm

Hi jilly, didn't see you here! Someone on tv said she did have someone to mow her lawn (the implication was only illegal immigrants do that any more) but she said it was her husband. Stopped the interrogator dead in tracks.

2:40 pm

love your story, gmere

2:40 pm

Wow, what a world we live in stidg!

2:41 pm

Yes, can't touch ground for the bogginess coming up. We're fixing an automatic gate opener that proved to be worse than getting out and opening and closing the gate ourselves.

2:41 pm

poor stid

2:41 pm

help with ph7 pls

2:42 pm

waiting and hoping for a clue....

2:42 pm

peri, ends with having eaten

2:42 pm

PH a make a speech

2:42 pm

My uncle that recently passed in Seattle developed an ingenious gate opener

2:42 pm

Right, have to get out in the rain and open and close the gate. Have to keep our Murphy safe in the yard. Clue, what clue?

2:42 pm

ty, ty Jaxx!

2:42 pm

Was it his wife?

2:42 pm

2:43 pm

I missed out +. Glad you got it anyway

2:43 pm

2:43 pm

We had snow(, two inches which is now slush

2:45 pm

2:45 pm

ty

2:45 pm

I kept tryng to extend the 2nd ph4/6 but it did not work

2:46 pm

We had some snow yesterday, it is now all gone and it's 62 degrees. BE GONE EVIL WINTER!!

2:49 pm

Just saw our weather forecast for next 10 days.. 50s til thurs when it snows. then 60s fri sat and mid 70s rest of the week :)

2:50 pm

hi cos

2:50 pm

Did you see the film on FB of Helen Keller learning to speak?

2:50 pm

Amazing!

2:54 pm

A lot of people do not understand this because they are not 100% understanding of the Deaf community but posts such as these are offensive to us. You see - to the Deaf community being Deaf is an identity (see how I captialize the D). Its kind of like gay conversion therapy to the Deaf community. I do appreciate the amazing techniques in these posts/videos though. I know people mean well by posting but it does make us feel cheap.

2:55 pm

Well, I apologize if you are offended.

2:55 pm

But I still admire her greatly.

2:56 pm

hi all

2:56 pm

And I do understand what you're saying.

2:56 pm

Hi Jes.

2:57 pm

No need to apologize. I know these things are not meant to offend! JUst had to vent lol

2:57 pm

NP Dear.

2:57 pm

And yes she is a person to be admired.There is a massive photo ofher in our main hall at work

2:58 pm

But you have to consider that she was not a sighted person.

2:58 pm

i have not seen the post, and so know nothing about it specifically. cos, please explain how it is offensive? (100% sincere, it has never occured to me that teaching a deaf person to speak would be offensive?) is it something particular to the video?

2:58 pm

with a handwritten note from her framed.

2:58 pm

Hi all. Can I get a clue for th5/14, please?

2:58 pm

hi all. I can't seem to find the second tr5/10. I have the special food item. Clue for the other?

2:58 pm

teaching speech is considered offensive becausse to the community the language we speak is ASL and not spoken english

2:59 pm

th + if, and, ** but + consonant

2:59 pm

ty

2:59 pm

people with cochlear implants are called Borgs (mean, I dont call them that but a lot of people do) because they feel they are trying to be assimilated by the "hearing community"

2:59 pm

But what if you're also blind?

3:00 pm

Maybe they're just trying to make their life easier.

3:00 pm

even if verbal is a second language/ not a "you can't learn ASL, it's not as good" attitude, but just a "knowing both gives more flexibility/opportunity?"

3:00 pm

It is a valid point hego - I do see both sides

3:01 pm

You're a smart person Cos.

3:01 pm

yes I advoate providing both options to families of new borns who are deaf. but doctors usually just recommend cochlear implants/spoken english and do nto say a word about ASL

3:01 pm

I mean, very few people outside of the community will be very good at ASL, so knowing verbal english seems like it would be an advantage?

3:01 pm

that is due to the powerful lobbying force of the alexander graham bell associastion. Mr. Bell himself was a huge opponent of ASL

3:02 pm

google it. its all very fascinasting history about one of America's so-called heroes.

3:02 pm

why would he oppose ASL, for pete's sake?

3:03 pm

My philosphy is to teach younger kids signed exact english and convert to asl i high school so they have a good grasp of the english structure. that is what I did.

3:03 pm

I certainly wouldn't discourage learning ASL, of course! I wish I was better at it myself, as is I can finger-spell (slowly) and that's not very effective for communicating with my handful of deaf clients...we usually end up passing a notebook back and forth.

3:03 pm

a loot of deaf people disagree. they think ASL at birth which I think destroys their chances of being gramar-smart

3:04 pm

besides I had deaf parents too so I had access to language at day 1. 90% of deaf kids do not have access to language til 4 or 5 yesrs old

3:04 pm

Because you can't use ASL over the phone, hego? I dunno... but there are people who get all uptight that kids speak Spanish too, which I've never understood. I always figured any version of multi-ligual was a potential advantage.

3:04 pm

Deaf people have video phones free provided by the FCC. its nice

3:05 pm

I agree Jes.

3:05 pm

Learn all you can of everything.

3:05 pm

Cos, if you had seen the woman who had received two cochlear implants after being deaf since birth (she was 40) who was fascinated by the sounds around her. She burst into tears when they switched everything on. The best of it was that despite being deaf for 40 years she spoke with a local accent.

3:05 pm

that is interesting.

3:06 pm

Jaxx I saw it. I was happy for her but for 40 - 50 people to tag me in it is quite annoying because if may have been what she wanted -- do not assume it is what I want is all I am saying.

3:07 pm

Very, because she hadn't been hearing long enough to get the accent that way.

3:07 pm

right

3:07 pm

completely ignorant question here, cos - when you read, do you 'sound' words out? how does that work if you don't know what the words sound like? I've never thought of that before...

3:07 pm

that is interesting, cos, I was just thinking what a shock it would be to suddently hear SO MUCH

3:07 pm

It was.

3:07 pm

migth be unsettling

3:08 pm

might

3:08 pm

I picture the words in my head so when I read words appear in my head.

3:08 pm

If I had my hearing aids I would be able to hear and recognize a few things. my name, phone ringing, dogs barking, cars honking.. so I know what its like to hear but.. thats good enough for me :)

3:08 pm

I would love it if America was more inclusive of American Sign Language. As a country, we seem to pay more attention to people who speak foreign language than our own citizens. Sad.

3:09 pm

She was having therapy to introduce her to all the everyday sounds gradually.

3:09 pm

I do want to get hearing aids again. I miss hearing my dog bark lol

3:09 pm

makes sense. so, if I ever say anything that's inconsiderate/privileged/offensive, poke me - I will do my best to shut up and listen, cuz I am aware of my own ingnorance :)

3:10 pm

There are times when I wish I could turn our parrot off. He screeches at 200 decibels when my husband leaves the room.

3:10 pm

(well, see, there you are - perhaps 'shut up and pay attention' would have been better phrasing?)

3:11 pm

I know no one here mean any offense when they say things but sometimes I feel liek I should clear the air lol

3:11 pm

Cos, I had hearing problems years ago and I found being deaf very isolating. Do you find that or have you adjusted?

3:11 pm

anyhoo... someone just handed me a chart and a cup of pee, so off I go.

3:12 pm

anyway, H Keller chose to learn to speak orally and she did it by placing her hand on her instructor's face in such a way that she could feel her lips, larynx and nose vibrate.

3:12 pm

I thought she was amazing.

3:12 pm

Nobody ever hands me a cup of anything. Maybe that's a good thing.

3:13 pm

and so she was.

3:13 pm

You should read the story of Alice Cogswell a deaf-mute who was the first American to learn to read and sign.

3:13 pm

She deserves equal standing as Helen Keller. both pioneers.

3:13 pm

these people are inspiring, for sure.

3:14 pm

I will, can I get it off Amazon. Our local library is unlikely to have it. can I google it?

3:14 pm

google is best

3:14 pm

wikipedia has a very accurate article

3:14 pm

Always

3:14 pm

Thanks. I will definitely google it.

3:15 pm

Cos, you are much more accepting of people and what they say in chat than others. Good for you.

3:15 pm

Thomas Gallaudet, Laurent Clerc, Alice Cogswell and Abraham Lincoln are the key players :)

3:16 pm

Cos is a rational human being.

3:16 pm

There is a reason Abe's hands are shaped in "A" and "L" in ASL at the lincoln memorial! He was a huge supporter of ASL

3:16 pm

I will look for that story, cos, very interesting

3:17 pm

Excellent museum on campus of Gallaudet University in DC. If you are in the area check it out

3:17 pm

Free to the public too.

3:17 pm

Is BSL the same or similar to ASL?

3:19 pm

No. BSL is different but there are similarities. ASL is most simiar to FSL which ASL Is based off. Laurent Clerc was a frenchman.

3:19 pm

Trivia: Princess Diana knew BSL and gave a speech in BSL once.

3:19 pm

she was on the board of the british assoc. of the deaf

3:20 pm

There are mixed opinions about the Lincoln statue. Daniel Chester French, the sculptor, was the father of a deaf son.

3:20 pm

They offer BSL classes at our local Community College.

3:20 pm

He also designed the Thomas Gallaudet and ALice Cogswell sculpture at Gallaudet U

3:20 pm

I know the abcs in BSL lol

3:21 pm

Molly is right.. differing stories about Abe but the deaf community tends to believe one :)

3:21 pm

It will take you a while to swear at a Brit then

3:21 pm

there are NO websites that teaches BSL but plenty that teaches ASL sadly

3:23 pm

When my son was alive he was supported for a while by the prince's trust, Prince Charles' idea to help unemployed youngsters. he came back with all the swear words in BSL but nothing more educational.

3:24 pm

My boss just texted me. Said she has marked on my evaulation "meets all requirements" i should know if my job will be certified soon

3:24 pm

Good news, Cosdem.

3:24 pm

Good luck Cos!

3:24 pm

Yay and yay, pours another shot for Cos!!

3:24 pm

lol thats the same for ASL for people.they like to learn the swears.. My rule is if I teah you.. the swears are last.

3:25 pm

good idea. brb shot time! last day of vacation

3:25 pm

I think folk like the idea of being able to be insulting without the majority knowing what they say.

3:25 pm

ASL and BSL are making me wonder why there is not a world wide sign language.

3:26 pm

Esperanto SL! Good idea Molly

3:27 pm

Probably because of all the different spellings, especially between "British English" and "American English".

3:28 pm

Why shouldn't deaf Brits and Americans get away with not being separated by a common language?

3:29 pm

Meant should.

3:30 pm

True, and the deaf Americans don't have to be bothered signing all those extra "u's" : D

3:31 pm

Hey, the 'u's were there first.

3:32 pm

So were the 'ph's

3:33 pm

There is a new form of sign called USL (universal) but people are resistant to it as there is a rich history behind each language. how would you feel for example one day you were told not to speak your language anymore?

3:34 pm

USL is very easy to understand though.

3:34 pm

Couldn't it be done phoeticaaly?

3:35 pm

visual phontics were tried bbut abandoned this past year as a failure

3:35 pm

Phonetically even. What on earth was that?

3:35 pm

I was trained in that when I worked as a teachers aide in Iowa and it did not benefit the kids at all.

3:35 pm

that was the mind going faster than the fingers, Jaxx.

3:35 pm

help with the re 5,10?

3:35 pm

Shouldn't it be verbal phonetics as this is a language?

3:36 pm

looking for that one too.

3:37 pm

why not retar?

3:37 pm

The probem is most of the research is done at Gallaudet University and they are a privately funded school so they depend on donations and it is not well known so we are behind in research on deaf ed.

3:37 pm

retar

3:37 pm

I agree.

3:37 pm

tried that one too

3:37 pm

Thanks for listening :)

3:38 pm

Apparently, once you have tarred, you may never tar again.

3:38 pm

for sure

3:38 pm

LOL

3:38 pm

in the last year I have noticed a lot of earlier re words are no longer allowed

3:38 pm

you cant remate either accordiing to yesterdays grid

3:38 pm

Psst...we took the U's out so words would be less cumbersome to spell. : D

3:38 pm

My brother must have a different father then.

3:39 pm

A bit lazy really

3:39 pm

I have a friend on FB who changes every word I type to the british version if there is one :P

3:39 pm

I do prefer the brit version. I find it . well. lets not go there

3:40 pm

I have persuaded one of my family tree branch owners to always include the u when she contacts me. A small victory for a small country

3:41 pm

My last name is british so I have a bit of heritage there

3:41 pm

And I'm confused about where a u goes and where it does not. Colour...yes...actour...no...labour...\nyes...majour... no...and the list goes on. It's peculiar.

3:42 pm

youur? :)

3:42 pm

My married name is Welsh - now that is a language hard to read and pronounce.

3:42 pm

Oh crap, I blew the chat width. Sorry.

3:42 pm

Off with her head!

3:43 pm

That Oz show looks interesting Molly btw

3:43 pm

Was that you?

3:43 pm

Molly, that is English for you. So many roots for so many different words. I always use to confuse the foul mouthed studeats at the school where I worked by asking them to give up the Anglo Saxon when they used f you

3:45 pm

Also looking forward to "Gotham City"

3:49 pm

ok found the re 5,10 re + the first three letters of a jeweled crown

4:46 pm

FW, bye for now

5:14 pm

it is an absolutely gorgeous Spring day here today - sun is shining, nice and warm - was out on the deck absorbing the gorgeous sunshine - should help me get rid of this nasty cold

5:20 pm

A week from today it will be mid 70s all week cannot wait

5:20 pm

i am excited because we will have highs in the mid 40's all week, lol...

5:21 pm

After having snow on ther ground yesterday morning - todays spring day is doubly appreciated. The front door is open to enjoy the fresh air before evening sets in

5:21 pm

the low of the next 7 days is 45 with a high of 64

5:21 pm

snow on thurs though :(

5:23 pm

nice to hear about everyone's Coming of Spring

5:23 pm

and cos, that snow won't last

5:23 pm

Naw. with a low of 40 it wont stick

5:24 pm

45 I mean

5:24 pm

it has been a real boost for me, have been down with this cold since week yesterday

5:26 pm

I don't know what temp is - this dummy has not learned to transfer from C to F in order for it to have any meaning - first thing I learned was the grams/lb when buying lunch meat to make the kids lunches

5:26 pm

flosey, you can google the conversion, they will figure it out for you

5:27 pm

yes, thanks phand but when in grocery store, I just look at size of what I want - so silly, really, I could have learned while the kids were taking it in school

5:28 pm

it was just plain stubbornness and not facing the fact that I would need it

5:29 pm

Double C and add 30.gives an approx value 10c=50F

5:29 pm

thanks jaxx, now that is nice and easy forthis muddled old brain

5:30 pm

The actual formula is really complicated, this is straightforward.

5:32 pm

My cat has just flung herself on my desk. Mad animal

5:32 pm

it is now 54F on our back deck

5:33 pm

front deck was a bit warmer because sun shining down on it

5:33 pm

ah, kittie wants some attention??

5:34 pm

50F is warm enough not to wear a heavy coat. Below and you shiver.

5:35 pm

yes, a lighter jacket is fine

5:36 pm

I don't know, but she slid along the desk, fell off the end and started howling while burrowing into the electrics. I have just put mad feline out into the garden, she can be crazy out there.

5:37 pm

lol, perhaps a good place for her, she can frighten away any little creatures who might be after your bulb type flowers

5:39 pm

She brings in voles but does not kill them. One scared little animal put its nose into the corner of the hall, working in the ostrich principle, and shook. I confined cat and put small wee beastie out into the back garden. Fia howled for two hours after that.

5:40 pm

ah, she thought she was bringing you a treat!

5:41 pm

it is the dead soggy birds that I hate.

5:42 pm

I would not enjoy that - we had to teach cat that we fed them because we enjoy them - have lots of birds around

5:43 pm

he seems tohave understood

5:44 pm

had a raccoon up on the deck outside my office - hubby went out and frightened him away with a broom

5:44 pm

during the day?

5:44 pm

Our cat has decided that he is an outdoor animal, so we keep his food dish on an upper deck, no access except poll

5:45 pm

hes kj, it was about an hour ago

5:45 pm

not a very big fella, ran like crazy

5:45 pm

raccoons out during the day is very unusual... either starving and can't find food, or ill. I'd be careful

5:46 pm

oh, thanks, will see that can doesn't try to frighten them away all by himself

5:47 pm

cat (not can)

5:47 pm

She was abandoned as a kitten and lived in a dumpster in a car park in Cornwall. No 4 went on Holiday and brought her back about 10 years ago. She moves between us at No 7 and No 4 depending who she considers treats her better. It is our turn at the moment. She is used to looking after herself and confines bird catching to the front garden while the birds are fed at the back. She never goes near our pet birds or our hens.

5:47 pm

they are usually nocturnal, come out at dusk

5:47 pm

We don't have that problem in the Uk but we do have foxes and badgers.

5:48 pm

yes, very true jk

5:48 pm

I had dozens of raccoons at one point... cavorting all through the trees at night causing a ruckus during heat. bold critters

5:48 pm

two lived in my attic... gave me fleas!

5:49 pm

we have a creek running through the property - all the way up the valley, and have had an otter problem - fortunately we don't have chickens

5:49 pm

A bit of a scare on at the moment as people have been infected with TB from their cats. The cats are thought to have been attacked by badgers.

5:49 pm

yep, I had a creek across the back of my property.... prob why they liekd my place so much

5:49 pm

oh they are bold and my goodness, they'd make qhite a racket in the attic??

5:50 pm

quite - not qh

5:50 pm

I woke up one night and heard all this chattering. Looked out the window nd they were running through the trees having a gay old time. I turned on the back light and they all turned to look at me, then just sat there staring. Pretty sure they were sizing me up and determining they could take me ; )

5:51 pm

lol, time to go back in and lock the doors!

5:51 pm

I was inside! I had these huge windows that overlooked the backyard

5:52 pm

it is very creepy to sit there and watch them all eyeing you

5:52 pm

ah, lovely

5:52 pm

yes, was thinking that

5:52 pm

A gay old time...just like The Flintstones!

5:52 pm

8:24 pm

I went to the doc today. I gained 10 lbs. Very happy with that.

8:24 pm

I find Peeps vile. Might as well hunker down with a spoon and a vat of sugar.

8:24 pm

8:25 pm

8:25 pm

I find them too sweet too molly

8:25 pm

I can't eat the Peeps...love my chocolate though

8:25 pm

8:25 pm

I would be kneeling on the kitchen counter in the dark eating sugar by the spoonful

8:26 pm

mmmm...apple tarts

8:26 pm

that sounds more than a little odd cos

8:26 pm

yum i want apple tarts

8:26 pm

I was an odd kid. Thats why I am so quirky now.

8:26 pm

8:27 pm

8:27 pm

8:27 pm

It makes the medicine go down.

8:27 pm
