Morning all x
hi worzel
hi flosey hun hows you?
good thanks, and you?
Not too bad - a little on the over-warm side - another hot night here in the UK and it's already in the low 20s at 7 am so another hot day to come
Hi worz - long time no see
Morning Liz! You ok? x
Very good thanks. Back from 5 weeks in England
You've had the best of our weather too! What part or parts did you visit?
London and Cornwall - family and friends. And the weather was fantastic.
For those who remember the 1950's take a look at hhtp://safeshare.tv/w/FEDEwZHZXu
Ahhh Cornwall - one of the best places in the world. I hope you had a wonderful time
It was wonderful - based in St Ives and Tintagel. Drove to lots of places.
Also went to Amsterdam.
Did you manage to go to the castle in Tintagel with the cliffside walk?
Yes - climbed all the steps!
Beautiful scenery and who cares whether King Arthur was ever there?
Also loved the Eden Project and St Michael's Mount.
I've only been to Tintagel once and sadly couldn't do the steps walk as I had a very young dog at the time and he couldn't quite manage it in the heat, bless him. Did you notice that St Ives was incredibly expensive? It's the only part of Cornwall that disappoints me - purely because of it's prices but then they know they can get away with it because of us tourists!
We were staying right up at the top of St Ives out of the town itself - didn't eat there much but found some great places out of town. All of England was more expensive than when we were there 3 years ago.
You must go back to Tintagel and do the steps to the top. It was fun and even more fun watching some French school group being dive bombed by seagulls!
How's your summer been?
Yes - that's thanks to our "lovely" Tory government trying to scare people into thinking we all need to still cut back - so nobody's really spending much and all our prices are going up. Lol - I guess I could say something there about the French being used to being divebombed but it would be a little in poor taste lol. My summer's been one of mixed fortunes but I am on the right track again now. Lot's of personal problems which I won't go into but things are starting to become clear in my head and hopefully am coming through the dark times
Glad to hear that you're getting there - sorry about the personal stuff - hope it sorts out for the best.
Don't know about for the best, but I live in hope! Thank you for your kinds words x
Time to go and make some soup - cold nights here at the moment, though the days are pretty good. Happy to have caught up with you. BBL x
Take care Liz - I'm off for a crafty ciggie by the back door so I'll brb if anyone wants me! *semipoof*
Hello to everyone! I've been away for quite a while due to life getting in the way. Hope everybody is well and happy.
Hello Digby, how long has it been since you babbled?
you have a dear little dog
About a year, I think. I'm still on the Village Elders list, so that's a good thing!
yes, good for you
cooee and g'day from me
My sweet Digby passed away last September. He was my boy. You get so attached to pets.
yes Digby, we sure do - we have not been able to get another dog, daughter is often sending us pics of adoptables - really don't feel up to retraining
Morning Mum x morning Digby
{{HUGS}} 'SON' how the devil are you, dear?
Same here Flosey! No puppies! I go back and forth about wanting another one....getting too old, Ithink! LOL!
Not so bad Mum, not so bad. How's you? ((hugs back)) oooo has pugs changed her name?
or should i say in true mum fashion? where you been? and what time do you call this? and...and...
I know - I know - need me botty spanking for being out so long lol
no, pugs is still puglet. she may not be here for another 1/2 hour. i'm okay. just plodding along.
Mornin"Worsel
I do have one small problem. Where I've just moved there is a problem with fleas and I have never been bitten by one before but these little sods have taken a right fancy to my back and now I look like a bloody dot to do picture and I'm itching like a madman. I've started taking anti-histamine tablets (yesterday) but still itching. Hopefully they'll kick in soon
anyway, worzel, it's lovely to see you again, mate.
agree with rose, good to see you back, Worzel
And back - soup made. Hi Rose :) and Flosey and worz again :)
thank you guys, means the world to me! And welcome back Liz x
ugh....fleas!! can you 'bomb' the place with an insect bomb? it's like a can of fly spray, but you set it up in the room, start it, and vacate the room for 2-3 hours.
I'm with Rose there, Worz. You
You've got to do something about that.
for the bites themselves, use personal insect repellant, spray on if you can. there is something in it which neutralises the protein which is making you itchy.
We looked into that with the flea problem we had with our dog and couldn't find flea bombs over here, but I'm trying white vinegar with water - I know where the buggers are living, so it shouldn't be too difficult to control them. As for itching, omg don't get me started! I've even got big lumps and itches inside me bottom cheeks! Sorry for being so personal lol.
hey flosey and liz
you poor man! it must be hell.
hi Rose - am just about to give up for the night, soon
Like Rose said - she's saying everything so well today!
You know me, Mum - not generally one to complain, but yes it is rather annoying. Another tip I just found online is to use underarm deoderant on the actual bites themselves so I'll try that
one must know how to say these things when one is ...errrrr....king?
worzel, if that doesn't work, try the personal repellant, like aerogard.
For me, Anthisan is best - you can get it in England but not here, so I always buy tubes in England.
and becareful with the deoderant. they usually contain alcohol, which is why they feel good on bites. BUT if the bites have been scratched, the alcohol will sting like heck.
I'll see what I can get hold of. Trouble is, in this stupid bloody country, the great majority of chemist shops don't open on Saturdays. We Brits really are a bunch of layabouts - no wonder there's so much financial strife! And we complain about the eastern Europeans coming over here and taking our jobs? Is it any wonder when they're the only ones that'll actually do some work?
.....out of lurking..........hey worzel - we're from the same neck of the woods. Daughter moved into a shared flat with similar probs a few years ago. (ugh!) Several cans of spray - available from supermarkets did the trick!
Thanks Dipp and good morning!
Try anthisan on the bites - might be able to get it at the Pharmacy dept of Tesco or Sainsburys
Right I'm off for 5 minutes to get some caffeine (and nicotine . . . ) brb *semi-poof*
16 to go and I must get to bed, goodnight all
20 left BBL
Sleep well Flosey
back here too. just remade the bed with clean linen. * sigh * this taking it slowly is driving me nuts...
looks like the worzel has drowned in the coffee. i will pop back in a while.
good morning all
well, that would be right...i hang around here like yesterdays cabbage and no-one comes in. go off to play a game...and hey presto....
lol. Hello my dear friend. *hugs*
{{hugs}} my darling sprite. have you had a good night?
um no. Rotten dreams. And you?
ugh, on the dreams....have taken today very slowly....as per advice....
very good, rose. Be good to that brave body of yours.
and as to the dreams, that figures with all that has/is happening in the home. you poor kid!!
yeah, I don't handle hostility very well, for sure. And Monday we'd picked to celebrate my birthday... oh happy day.
even so, left foot and ankle swollen up....i just cannot understand what is going on. physio can't work it out either.
awww, sweetheart...i wish i was there...i'd soon knock some sense into that boyo.
sounds to me like your whole system acts up as a result of the virus you had, sweetie.
hey!!....worzel was here earlier. he said he was going for coffee and a smoke...but hasn't been back since.
he refused to speak to us all day, lol. I asked him if the cat got his tongue and then he shook his head, so I told him he darn well speak normally to me. So he did.
ah. Worzel has been away for a long time.
yay, you, sprite
but I think I will tell them today that there will be no birthday celebration unless the fight is over. I refuse to pretend things are ok when they are not.
good for you, sprite. they must know by now that you and hostility don't mix...
yeah they know, sigh. But does that motivate them to keep it to a minimum? Noooooo.
anyway, enough of that. I really think your whole system needs to recover from battling the virus, sweetie. And you know it, as soon as you are low on energy etc, the FM will act up.
if they realise how definite you are about hostility = no birthday celebration for you, surely that will make them both think twice.
let's hope so :)
* shakes head * you got it in one, hun. last two nights the blankets have been on and off all night.
I wish I could make it better for you, rose. It is so frustrating for you. *healing vibes your way*
Worzel
Worzel
i am hoping when i see the workcover doctor in two days, i will be in an absolute lather, and he can see what happens when my body is under stress.
that would be good. For him to see, not for you to go through.
Pat
Pat
yes, pat?
*giggles*
pat, we are laughing with you, dear, not at you
yes, absolutely. Happens to us as well.
Worzel, sorry about the flea problem but only some surgery chemists close here West Yorkshire area and not that far from you. The rest stay open and plenty of supermarkets take over on Sundays. Please, please don't get political, the Brits are NOT lazy, just the usual quota. Just realized that, without glasses, I already went into the chat log. Sorry!
pat, if you only saw the number of times when my finger twitches and hits the enter key, even when i don't want to, i am sure you would see how much i understand. now...please...could you talk to us? and tell us you don't think we are absolute cads?
hi Pat :)
threr, a lovely chog from pat...dear girl....worzel quite often takes the mickey out of us all. and he is as british as the queen's corgis.
Granny, I love laughter and known you all long enough to know that none of you are bad or rude etc. We've got hot weather here, unusual, and it is making me daft!
I always feel uncomfortable when somebody singles out a certain group and generalises about them. Like the Brits, the Black, women.
omg yes, Pat. I know that feeling. When it is hot and humid here, I feel like there's an elephant sitting on top of me all day. And night.
nah, pat, not daft at all....just female...* giggle *
(and yes, I realise I do it too sometimes!)
ummm, sprite, that's your boobs, hun.
* ducks behind don*
lolollll oh! Never realised they grow in heat!
he's so male and protective...
oops... that came out ruder than I meant it, grin
Hello to everyone else and hope all is well. Apart from fleas, which I occasionally cop for the odd one when my husband thinks he can save money and wait longer before applying the treatment. I have promised I will fill his bed with the bu....s next time he does that to me.
<-------ROFLOLOLOL
very good, Pat. Nothing like a good itch to make someone move faster next time.
awww, pat...ain't that the truth....is he scottish per chance? as is my hubby?
oh my, sprite...inresponse...i should have said....no, dear, they spread wider....
roflol.... guess I have spectacular boobs :P
well??? why should i be the only one??
you've got a point there, rose. Or two.
We have two cats, a Labrador and a Staffy who visits regularly so must not miss treatments. Only a man would decide to save on flea treatments!
No he is of Irish ancestry.
the wrong kind of economics for certain
pat, not going there, dear. my hubby is 1/2 and 1/2. 1/2 scottish, 1/2 irish. where do i begin?
to tell the story of how great a love can be... a sweet love story that is older than the sea... the simple truth about the love he has for me... where do I start?
and born, grown, educated in australia. talk about complicated..
sprite, that's lovely....you are incredible with your memory.
it's why they call me a jukebox here... throw in a word or phrase and out comes some old song
okay, bells tinging, timers going off...my guess....dinner is ready...love, hugs, and kisses to you both. thanx for the company.
enjoy your dinner and your lovely complicated man :)
Ah! Good news. My love just woke up and told me he and Tim had a good talk yesterday evening. Tim took initiative in talking things out and they have come to some kind of understanding. And promised to do better in future.
To be honest, it is difficult in the UK, such a small land area with several different countries involved to not have Irish, Welsh, Scottish, English, Manx, Channel Islands(add French into the mix) Shetland Islanders etc etc etc to NOT be a mongrel of nationalities. Apologies to any I missed out.
Mind, this is without me telling them to solve it or no birthday :D
lol Pat :) So true. Quite a mixture you have there. Makes for interesting people.
sade
Sorry indeed x
lol :)
fireflies. And I must be off. *hugs* to rose and Pat, and to you all a blessed day and a peaceful night.
Greetings Friends
darn I missed everyone :(
no, my darling, was off getting a drink. {{hugs}} miz pugs
Hugs and love Rose--drink of what or should I ask-lol
I see Sprite's men got things fixed--Iam so glad for her
ummmm, better you shouldn't know...
kind of what I thought
yeah they have...well done them. and now sprite can have her birthday celebration with no clouds hanging over it.
I wont preach--I will just worry in silent
worzel was here. he was at frogface's.
when stuff like that goes on in a home its bad for everyone--She deserves the peace
pugs, please don't worry. i can take it o9r leave it.
Oh good! glad he is okay. did you get my mail on that subject
Iam more worried about mixing it and meds
yes thanx pugs.
oh, well rest assured...i am off the strong pain meds now...i really don't need them.
I got to say Iam worried about them and what in going on in the UK--that is them isnt it
yes, pugs, you got it right
we will have to pray for their safety
Iam not sure how far they are from what is happening over there
so how are you my friend--did you get to go out into the garden and do what you had planned
poor worzel has a flea infestation in his new lodgings...he is covered in flea bites.
not today, pugs. it was too cold and too wet. maye tomorrow...weather forecast says dry and sunny.
oh the poor guy. I lived in a house like that once, and I bet he dont have the funds to get rid of it either
we got rain and storm here today and tomorrow
yuck, pugs. that means the three of you are stuck indoors?
I got a friend at work who's daughters husband left her with two kids. The little girl will be 2 in december and has no toys. So sister and I are going yard saling today to try to find some cheap buys
no, he has set up a camper down at the campgrounds(his choice)
oh, that's lovely of you, pugs. and yay for sister...going out with you.
she just dont know it yet--lol
ooohhh, so you finally have the house to yourself. when are you changing all the locks?
I dont need to do that--Iam safe--he does have to come here for drinking water and bathing
more or less Rose. While at work he took all his clothes and personal things out
i hope you are safe, pugs
Iam Rose--those abuse times are over with--I got a hammer if I need it--lol but I dont
* giggle * pugs.
Rose, I have been thinking of moving out of state near a place that helps the mentaly ill(they have groups and jobs and so on) and renting out this place. My sister could have a more active life with people like her and I would like to see her have some happyness in her life
This wont be real soon for I got to finish up things here but its a thought I have. They also provide housing as well. It might be good for the both of us. If it dont work out I can always come back here
pugs, what a great idea. can you afford it?
I got to check into everything and see but she gets goverment help and with what I would get from renting this until I find work, I should Rose
we have nothing like that around here and I do think it would be so good for her
my goodness, pus!! you are a new woman!! look at you!! making such life changing decisions, and not even batting an eyelid...yay for pugs.
its a little frightening Rose for sure but something inside me says its a right thing to do. We would be leaving all we know but it will be a new start I think
Good morning

I do have family from my dads side there

I see a big phantom right off the hop: "pheasant"
gm, everyone!
howdy,lbd
hi crossy, guess everyone is deep into the grid or sleeping.
nbt nbs!
seems so:)
dearest crossy. i have had a heads up re your neck. what the hey is going on? if you don't want to share here....i have sent you an email.
and g'day ibd....nice to see you, mate/hun
and g'day ibd....nice to see you, mate/hun
and g'day ibd....nice to see you, mate/hun
ugh, on the twitcyh....sorry
* twitch*
Cooee, Rose!
how are you doing, rose? are you feeling better?
loves ya, ibd...cooee back at you.
oh, it is an old injury rose. Ten years ago, give or take, I herniated three disks in my neck. Now, ten years later, they are becoming quite bothersome with pinched nerves and numbness in the hands etc and one of them is now full of arthritis. I must do special exercises with counterweights and a strap around my head to ease this. I also have an appt in October now with a speciallist to see if things have progressed far enough now that an operation is need.
yeah...have taken it easy today. cold seems to have gone....thank goodness.
owie, poor crossy. hope the counterweights help ease the pain.
crossy....i am hoping surgery is not the solution....then again SIL has had surgery, and she is fine.
generally, it is a given that you do not let them open you up and tinker around with your dosks unless things have progressed far enough that you are almost crawling on all fours, but getting a full MRI and a pro to tell me how far things have progressed is a good thing
disks
I had a friend with this exact issue. The nerves were being pinched so badly that his arms were numb 24/7 and one of his feet had started to turn inwards and stay that way, so he was a candidate for the operation. Byt, as you know, nerves are tricky things and he came out of the operation pain free, but needing two canes for the rest of his life
I, fortunately am not as bad as he was.
crossy, i am hoping the outcome is more positive.
I am sure it shall be. i am still very mobile, and the numb arms come and go. with care, I am sure I can put of any operation for another 10 years.
I love my nature hikes too much to be reduced to a pair of canes just yet!
but enough about me and my neck. how are you this fine summer morn, rose?
hello again
howdy sukee
good morning
good for you crossy...re delaying the surgery. me?? i am seeing yet another workcover independent doctor on monday...hips and muscles it the pits....
hi sukee, hi annie
annie, my dearest...how are you?
Hi, dear rose, don't like hearing about bad hips and muscles...hope you get some help
hi dawg :)
sukee, as you see...i am still here. himself is watching a boooooring movie...
clue for the se6?
annie? hips have deteriorate ++++ following last lot of surgery. muscles hate me...even after hydro they twitch and ache....
se6, se + In Charge + not her
I am sorry bout your hips, rose. My very own grammy had both her hips operated on by the time she was 60. She live to a full 100 and had a great old time of it. her hearing went in her 80's but she was still playing around on my uncles sailboat into her early 90,s:)
rose, Is hip replacement in your future?
could it be arthritis, Rose?
ty, for the se6, Rose.
yes, ibd...arthritis is definitely on the cards. until the latest lot of surgery, it was under control. i was working 9 hour shifts, and looking at increasing to 10 hours.
annie, hip replacement is definitely in my future. i was hoping it would be after my retirement...in 2 years and 7 months.
gentle (((HUGS))) Rose. I have bursitis, and when it flares I just want to curl up and swallow the pain pills. I can imagine the pain you are in.
yes, gentle hugs to you rose. I take 2 Aleves a day to help with arthritis in my left arm
thanx crossy, ibd, and annie.
Finally figured out SE, ty for clue
*giggle* annie. i takes 2 panadol osteo 3 times/day, and ibuprofen 400mgs 3 times/day. i am pleased to announce i have dropped the oxycodone SR and fast release.
sorry, sukee. i didn't realise i was so vague. please tell me when i am not clear.
spent a lot of time trying to find a word for in charge :) now I know what you meant :)
it is good to be able to drop oxy- anything
stuff is too intense
I was on oxycontin(sp) once and was basically a vegetable sitting on the couch
sukee...just a gentle hint, dear. if i use capitals in my clues, you should use them in your solution.
*giggle* crossy....exactly, mate....
Cat has full bowl of water, makes me go change it for fresher water before drinking...
our cats train us well
tadone!! finito!
yaaa for lbd!
wtg, dawg, congrats!!!!
WTG LBG!!!!!
fun grid, just a couple that had me stumped, but the monkeys found them, then there was the se6, which I wasn't paying attention to as to which S it was coming from...doh
yeah, the se6 comes from the lower s tile.
I looked up that se6---rising of water levels due to wind, earthquake, etc. Sounds more exotic than that to me.
OMG!! just doing my daily clicks and a page opened up with CHRISTMAS stuff on it! NO!!! that's just wrong.
okay...it is way past my pumpkin time. xoxox to you all.
isnt it a bit early for Christmas shopping?
sweet dreams, rose
sweet sleeps, Rose
annie, yes, way too early to even think about Christmas. even if you have to mail across the world, too early!!
I watching QVC on TV this week and they had a Christmas ornament segment. I guess it is never too early.
Love using the old terms in my writing. Crossy's word of the day is "burthen" and for those who love the old steamship that used to ply our oceans, Googling that word will give you all kinds of interesting information. brb
I work in retail, I hate it when some moron back at headquarters decides when the seasons start and end. It's the middle of July and all the summer stuff is on its way out! bringing in back to school stuff and fall stuff. Even saw some winter prep stuff in the the receiving dock.
btw, no a/c's in stock and no more coming in! hello? we're just getting to the hot part of the summer.
dawg, I have a wedding to go to in Sept. I bought a summery type dress but need a necklace. I better get over to Macy's before they change their costume jewelry.
August is the hottest month of the year.
just in time stock ordering to facilitate maximum customer fleecing without sitting on expensive stop. better to run short that to have to carry one or two ac units till next summer
stock
overstock gets sent back to the warehouses, nothing seasonal stays in the stores after preset dates. They are actually losing money by not having enough stock on hand.
yes, those business with more than one outlet can do that
I was meaning single operations , mom and pop style.
which i tend to favour. I avoid big box stores like the plague
17 left for later, bye
well, best put on the kettle, my better half will be stirring soon, brb
time for me to get moving. hagd everyone!

Hi Trif. I am so happy that Nora is improving.
Hi scrabbler! ME TOO - it really is a miracle. The vet was honest in his approach, and told me flat out there wasn't a lot he could do, it didn't look good, etc. She surprised us all!
Last Mi 5 and 4 help please?
Animals can heal despite a grim situtation. My bunnies have taught me that too.
never mind
hello scrabs and trif. that is good news.
hi scrab hi trif
I think having her so dopey for a week really helped - she rested, that is for sure! our little jacqueline suzanne....
hi mlf
hello TO
Hi Owl and MLFAN
... half way ... must do something with the day ... ... barkeep! sunny days for everyone ...
thanks dose! we have a sunny one now, but I think storms are a'coming
oh, your kitty is recovering trif? the one that fell out the window?? Yaaa!
HE 7/48?
Isn't that amazing,Crossy?
sometimes keeping them dopey can help the body heal itself. They get a much needed escape from the pain and shock
never mind
Yup. she was in actual chunks, and now she is doing great.
once kitty is back in full trim we would like to see a picture:)
MLFAN, you are displaying the Periwinkle Maneuver quite well. Brava.
I seriously don't know how her leg healed that well. she doesn't limp or anything. She lost a pretty significant piece of muscle, and a length of tendon, and yet she bounces around like nothing happened.
are you envious of me Scrab?
mlf has dazzled the audience with several top shelf peris this day
Yes, MLFAN, because I need those words too.
Animals (and kids) are so reilient.
lol sorry
he*****way famous author
Was thinking of you yesterday, scrabby. Had the hole family out for the afternoon on a new(for us) 7.2 k side-trail hike on the Bruce.
ty mlf
I am so sore today. Yesterday we went kayaking on a river that surprisingly had a very low water level. We had to get out of our kayaks so many times to drag our boats through shallow sections.
whole*
HE 4/7?
that can be a pain, scrabbs
Nice, Crossy. My paddling adventure included hiking.
yw cross
crossy, I just updated my proflie, and included my favorite photo of nora during her ordeal...it really shows the love she and tertiare have....
I hate portaging
looking now, trif...
pretty kitty
Priceless photo, Trif!
thanks.
that was when she was still wrapped up....
but I love how tertiare kept her so close...
Yes, and helped kitty to heal.
HE 4/7?
I have been looking, MLFAN
make ropes out of it
ty scrab
TY, poodle

Last ME 6/27?
I will trade for the count for the bottom row center r please?
lol,trif
I imagine the two States that "partake" have seen a influx of new population growth
i think ts re 7/8?
I hope not, Trif.
it is...i just found them...
I heard that Washington state hauled in over 4 mil in tax revenue in the first month alone
I hope not too, but Vermont decriminalized it, or something, and I know that on April 20th, at 4:20, there is a big blaze up on the school common
hi pen
there are worse things. i would rest easy on it
hi
I just hope she stays safe. at all times. really, what I am thinking, sending a fetus off alone?
howdy penquis
why doesnt re8 work?
hi
it did for me...
in colorado crossy, the public schools now have more money than they know what to do with. The "bake sales" alone must be pretty exciting...do it for the kids,mom and dad!
pen no re 8/9
i know we dont need a 9
i cant find that r for the life of me....
its re plus two of the f words
I am on the "pro" side of that entire issue anyways, trif. The chemicals I take for various things do more harm to my stomach that a bit of thc ever can. Besides, it is habitual, not addictive. LIke my bacon;)
trif re plus fr 5/6
though i do get the shakes when the bacon runs out...
Last me 6/27 does anyone have it?
Hi All
howdy hego
hi hego
Buon giorno, Hego.
Buon giorno.
i don't have it, mlf...
Have been doing Rosetta stone Italian, Scrabs.
I haven't found a word in 10 minutes. I am not seeing anything anymore.
i have an me 6/27, but i don't think it's part of a combo...
Do you like it, Hego? I have used websites, especially Learn Italian Pod.
scrab are you looking for anything specific?
It's fun, but costly.

phantom: pheasant
Trif, how was Aerosmith?
really, really loud. and great. and JOHNNY DEPP
indeed, sitting right on top of the grid like that, it was the first thing i saw this morning when i opened babble
EEEEEEE!!!!! Johnny Depp!!
we are such kin, crossy :_
:)
Depp and Tyler look like brothers.
Hego, I can't lie - I had a stroke,a heart attack, and an aneurysm right on the spot.
for Depp fan, some sad news. The latest "Pirates" movie has been delayed till 2017 due to heavy losses from the production companies last movie.
lol
he is one beautiful man
I like Aerosmith
easy trif.. hit the showers lol
I like them too - they are just so frigging great at what they do.
But Depp is exceptional!
steven tyler can WORK a crowd - ultimate showman
Crazy ass Tyler.
He cracks me up.
Of course he can. he has been at that sort of thing forever.
Hello everyone...happy weekend
howdy car:)
he was working that ass all right. they all swear like sailors too
I think he's as good or better than Jagger.
CAR!!! hello my beloved!
Hiya Car!
Hello..when are you seeing KISS?
August 1st. Thanks for the reminder...some things you do for love...
Hi Hego, Crossy, etc!
I've always thought it would be fun to see Steven Tyler and Angus Young (AC/DC) together on stage
Bob Engel and his wife will be there.
and in the spirit of all things depp, it is now time for crossys tidbit of the day!!!
Johnny wasArrested for trashing a New York hotel room. Depp claimed that an armadillo was responsible, saying that he had found the animal hidden in a closet and it had gone crazy, wrecking the hotel room before leaping out the window. [1994]
ac/dc was supposed to tour, and then they had to cancel due to illness, and now they are trying to get it together again for later this year
agree Molly
Nice! I'm thinking Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas time?
Crossy, maybe he really saw it. lol
johnny depp is a fairly decent guitarist, and he gave it a good shot, but man - he just got SCHOOLED by Joe Perry
With enough booze, i am sure he did
Well, yeah...
Man, those armadillos are EVERYWHERE
or whatever.
bad armadillos
shit...migraine coming....
:D
It takes some brass ones to get up on stage and play with Joe Perry
oh, sorry Car.
blurry vision....ear ache...aura out of my right eye....
i am sorry, car. I can relate. My beloved has been known to have the SAME migraine for three weeks solid!
just goes on day after day, after day
Figures...hubby is going fishing for re-launch of the boat this afternoon/evening
till it becomes the "new normal" then one day it will be gone and it will feel strange to her
I just took some medicine...hopefully it will kick in before it gets much further.
can i get a hint for the i?
in**worm
IN4 worm

<snap> Crossy!
:)
oh! ty Car
...
and Crossy
:)
one of those duh moments
Never a duh moment around Babble Land, Hego!
lol
Hey! You are almost in the grid my friend!
:)
I am a phantom
Ooooooh! Fun!
But your sister is in the grid hego
I need stats for the R in the middle column bottom row please?
??
don't have those Car
re 6/21 re 7/32 and re7/40 and re 8/55
Hega
ty Crossy
though some may come fro the other r, I can never tell
Ru, was just wondering if you were up yet.
Yes, I think so, as there are only 2 from that R LOL!
oh well. take what you need and leave the rest, car
The re 6 & 7 combo are from the other R
Not really
Still cuddling with dylan
best way to awaken
How was your trip?
Sip any good ones?
NO ...but i sipped some great ones
Got 'em!
lucky you!
Trip was great. I learned a lot..
No problem from the fires?
Let me know if you want a clue Hego
I love the Oregon pinot gris.
No they are far to the north and west of where i was
ty car, could use one.
RE + not back
oh! ty Car.
I think you sent me your headache, car, you big meanie! gotta grab some coffee....
must go. bbl. good day All.
Bye hegs
I didn't send it to you Trif...it is still here...
Damn weather front
getting some little chores done now in case I get put down for the count
must be a terrible thing to have to have a race with a migraine:(
oh! one of my favorite composers is almost in the grid today...Smetana
If I catch it in time, sometimes I win
My wife tried those pills for a short while. The ones where you take a small tablet when you THINK you are getting a migraine, but hers come on too fast and this family of pills are costly. often 20 dollars a pill and up
I'm sorry...isn't sinch a word? Sinch your belt?
I have a nasal spray
cinch
Oh...duh
there are no "duh's" in babble
Then why don't we cinge a steak?
lol
Probably because singe is Germanic and cinch is Latinate, so we had the spelling for singe with an s before the Norman invasions but then borrowed the Latin spelling for cinch along with the word. :)
TY Greeny!
English is stolen from many languages:)
I am told by some that English is terribly difficult to learn as a second language
Any GH words today?
No gh
The spelling is certainly tricky and irregular! On the other hand, at least English hasn't got much in the way of grammatical gender. Trying to remember whether words get le or la in French always throws me off. And then German has der, die and das to choose from...
My phantom is orgasm
A word that should never ,ever be a phantom;))
Oh my!
my russian friend said that Russian is hard to learn at first, but it gets easier as it goes....while English seems easier to learn at first, but gets trickier as it goes...
Thinking about French has got me seeing fromage (cheese), and thinking about cheese makes me see cheddar.
mmm... cheese
i often see french words...
The Japanese girls I lived with in Hawaii said it was hard to learn English because we have so many words with 2 meanings or several words for the same thing
Hmm, cheese pheasants and orgasms
Nice molly!
exactly....and so many exceptions to phonetic spelling...
Definitely sounds like a nice day there, Molly.
LOL
i was curious to know what devices babble can be played on?
i have played it on my iPad (not fun really)...
pen hard to type on that device to do Babble?
yes, and it keeps guessing that i meant to type something else....have to watch the add word line really closely....so it's slow...
what a bummer. are you on a desktop now playing it?
yes, but i have windows XP and it's no longer supported, so i was trying other things...
Time to get ready for puppy training class. have a good day all. {{group}}
uggh that really sucks
bye car
bye car
yes, i need to buy a laptop...a big one to use instead of my desktop...
pen in general do you think they are worth buying now? i know the prices have gone down on them but are they still worth it or do you know?
what?...iPad?....i love my ipad....use it all the time...
no laptops lol
well i want something with a keyboard and a large viewing area....and i want it to fit in my computer desk drawer....so, a laptop...
ah good point
and you can take it with you. i would like one as well.
hubby went to walmart today and said the desktop computers are all in one now
well i also have a netbook, so if i want to take something with me, i take that....i use that to play Boggle at the local cafe....
i have heard of those and seen them
mlf, babble plays well on my android tablet, but you can work the grid, or chat, but not both
it's smaller than a laptop so it's more portable...
i really want to get back on fb but i know if i do that it will mess up whatever device i use
just not fast or powerful...
i don't do facebook...
pen not fast really?
cross it wont let you do both that seems so weird
not really....but fine for boggle and email and some net surfing...
pen and dont start doing it either lol
problem with all-in-one desktop computers is that when a part fails, the entire thing has to go back whereas when, lets say, a fan fails in my old rig, I pop the side off it, pull the fan, go buy a new one for three dollars and put it in
well, it will, mlf, but the type gets a tad small for me
cross exactly
i have a bigger screen with our desktop but on babble i have troubel sometimes with certain letters
in chat
i can do chat with iPad...but it's not fun to type without a keyboard...
I also no longer do FB, though I dabbled with it for a year or so
i never did it...guess i am not that social....i have no desire to chat with people i went to grammar school with...
pen i agree
cross i am not "addicted" to it because of puter probs not been fixed and hubby would not be too happey with me if i did
i do miss family photos....and some businesses now are not doing websites; they just do facebook....that's annoying...
pen i am amazed at who i have found on fb elementary school included
I did not stop using FB out of any addiction; i stopped using it because of the fine type in its user agreements and the program as a whole was too invasive for my liking
pen i agree, but i have found that fb has more info on it then the actual webpages for the items or whateer or whoever i am looking for or at
agreed...it seems like users are being used....but i guess you could say that about a lot of sites....i have noticed amazon ads that are for things i have surfed for on other sites...
cross i dont blame you. fb creator is a nosy person if you ask me
well, that is how they make money. You are the product it markets to other companys
pen i have had the same thing happen to me on sites as well. its like i am being ""followed"
yup...
cross and they are not supposed to do that supposedly
supposedly..
Yep google does that too
yep
yes, google is bad for that as well. i tend to use bing now
sometiems i feel its the only means to the outside world i have which is ridiculous
I can soon see myself reduced to doing nothing on this computer other than babble and grinding out novels on Microsoft Word...:(
i hate bing
i think Amazon does it.....they seem to pop up with ads on other sites for things i have looked at at Amazon...
why cross?
well i am down to 25 and going nowhere...
i dont understand why anyone would be on a webpage wanting to look or do something on it and have to see ads for something they do on another webpage... makes no sense
i have 72 left
does anyone have ni6?
Past tense of ni5
other sites are becoming so invasive . heck they know how to sell me whatever is in my town. got to the point where i was learning of new store openings in town through junk ads generated by google before i even saw the place with my own eyes
ty molly
fb does that cross
it does indeed
or at least similar
hence why it has been over a year now sisnce my last use of FB
I am not a Bing fan either
i have not turned on my location feature on either my iTouch or my iPad...that seems really invasive to me...
what do you use, Molly?
sometimes i think its a female thing cross lol
everyones computer interests evolve over time to be sure.
I use Dogpile or Google
lol, those two will try and sell you each other lol
never heard of dogpile....will have to try that...i usually use Google...
molly i havent used dogpile in years
i love google
diving in the grid for a bit..sploosh!
They are all using the same robots and search bots, so you get the same information on any search engine
molly i feel like i get more info on google
i used to like the cache feature at google where one could search for specific words in the results....guess they stopped doing that because the first few results are sites that pay google and they are often the least helpful...
Morning everyone!
hi
Plenty of ads on Bing as well
hi india
Hi again, this grid is doing my head in today
poor sukee
well i am down to 24....going to take a break....bbl to finish...bye all....
ed4 ?

Actually, there's two like that.

i have that one
repumps
that is a 5 i need a 4
damn
anyway, I need a break. Think I will list when I come back
bye sukee
I too must toddle away. Must go get my roots re-blondified.
judi sounds like fun?:)
Not necessarily fun, but necessary.
oh.. really?
judi thats what i meant:)
why be blond then?
Natural color is dark. Makes my face looked washed out. Besides, I have more fun when I'm blonde.
oh..
That's me... living the cliche.
i have dirty blonde hair and am kind of fair complxion
I never really understood why women did that
I'm not attracted to blondes so that could just be me
When it starts to go more grey than reddish brown, I'll give up the bottle.
i used to highlight my hair but those who color their hair for no reason ie not being grey i just dont understand it
Oh, Ru. You break my heart when you say things like that.
Well Judi.. you're not really a blond :D
Does anyone have SE6?
So true.
a waterway mlf Se 6
although I do need a blond in the passenger seat of my new car :D
it was supposed to come with one.. and she's been back-ordered
Didn't one come with the car?
<-- beat molly to the punchline
Gotta put a seat belt on the next blow-up doll so she doesn't blow away when you have the convertible top down.
<---you will never see RU with a blow up doll :D
is lost
You should call the blond factory and see what the hold up in production is.
Wouldn't it be funny if that was an airbag option?
I saw a t-shirt the other day that said BLONDS DON'T HAVE MORE FUN, THEY JUST HAVE DARKER ROOTS
Hahahahaha. Yep, that's my true story.
it sure would be difficult to explain to the highway patrol when pulled over
ruru?
Okay. Gotta go. See ya! *POOF*
yes?
Sorry Judi, didn't mean to give up the title of your autobiography. : D
bye judi
bye judi
still dont know it
funny molly
se + frozen water interrupted by a consonant
spelled backwards?
frozen water?
lower s mlf
i figured that much out yes:)
SE + three letter word for frozen water but also add a consonant into the word.
Wait, isn't that what Ru just said?
Yep.
uh oh.. people are going to think we're the same person Zooz
:D
LOL
hahaha
may god have mercy on your soul :D
se 6/24 got it
Are you talking to yourself hahaha
Nice one, Mlf!
Now, to figure out if Ru is a British poser or if Zoom is a California poser : P
zooz i used Morewords to get it
I don't mind swapping countries..lol
I sometimes use A-Z, Mlf. Depends on how I feel.
Or maybe just two buddies in treatment together : D
LOL I have had treatment, Molly :-)
or both
But Zooz Morewords is my friend i cant betray it by going ot anotehr webpage except for google:)
personalities are meant to be split
ruru unless you talk to someone who has that
Sometimes Morewords loads up too slow so I goto A-Z instead.
been fine for me thankfully:)
I use a2z mostly
it's easier to use
On the internet, you can have as many personalities as you want
It does seem user friendly, Ruru.
or no personality
ha molly apparently
the lone corner e plz
the only thing is zooz... that sometimes a word will be in Morewords and not a2z
en 4 movie
ty ruru
yw
babblets all over as a hint
DE6?
I often complete the grids. But I do wonder how many hours I have spent looking at lickety list, morewords A-Z etc plus the time just sat looking at the grid hoping to squeeze one more word out before listing..lol
zooz i spend more time doing the grids then ever since i am not on fb much. If i were on fb more i would do nbt and nbs
Nearly everyone I know do FB twitter and alike. I have never got into any of those things. Wonder if that is a good or a bad thing?
That you've never gotten into it? It's a good thing Zoom, trust me.
good
zooz i am iffy when it comes to twitter
DE6 anyone have it?
There is no de6
i meant de5 sorry
OK I will stop looking for a DE6 now then.
never mind
de5 painter

Hello, Sciencegeek, long time no see. Hope you are well!

Ru, are you implying that Madonna is a woman of questionable virtue? Gasp
well... sorta
she's actually an old bag with questionable virtue nowadays
or that she's bisexual?
crap hego.. she's trisexual
Is that possible?
for her it is
:D
A friend of mine used to say "if it's doable, she's done it"
there are so many performers in music.. whose success I just don't understand
so true molly.. she's really odd
so true
I agree about performers in music Ru. It's hard to believe there are that many people with bad taste.
must go. bbl
in Madonna's case she really can't sing.. she can't really dance anymore.. what's the point of doing shows
bye hego
Well, there is a reason they call them die-hard fans.

How was your day at the beach, Peri? What is the weather like there?
it was nice, but overcast most of the time. of course the sun was out when I was leaving. But I love the beach no matter what. the sound of the ocean calms me
and I got caught in a thunderstorm on the way home. but arrived safe and sound. so not a bad day
Which state do you live in?
PA
wish I had someone to go with me. my sister does not like the beach.
and a friend keeps saying she will go and never does
I should have said : state of confusion :)
I love the beach.
do you live near a beach, Soodle?
The beach lives all around Soodle.
LOL, Peri. Welcome to my world. I live just an hour's drive away from a really nice beach, but in good weather, every hog, dog and divil is there. It can get unpleasant when overcrowded. And Hello Miss Molly. :-)
Peri, if I lived closer, I would be your constant beach companion.
I got to the beach at 9:30 am and only two other people were there but not near me
I would love that Molly
I have had amazing experiences being the only person on a beach.
you live in MD, Molly?
Yes I do Peri
brb
A beach gave birth to me
I'm a son of a beach
I hath returned.
<---- Has a mental image of Ru like Aphrodite, emerging from a seashell...........
Hi Judi :-)
Oy. My master of disaster husband has injured himself again. He was cutting drywall and sliced off the tip of his finger. He took himself to urgent care to get stitched up.
Poor Judi's husband.....
So, I just finished the job I asked him to do for me.
Oh dear. I bet that hurt... And Hi Hego :-)
see if you have a man do a woman's job that's what happens
lol
back. Hi hego
So, now he's not allowed near bicycles, ice or sharp objects. The list is growing.
Hope you have full body armour on, Ru!!
hi Peri
I will when I mop later today
Love your icon, Soodle.
Ermmm, bicycles and sharp objects I can understand. How did he injure himself with ice?
help with bottom r pls
Back in March, while visiting his mother in NY, he slipped on a patch of ice and cracked four ribs.
I love Soodles icon too
ouch!
Good man, Mr Judi!!!
Oh my God, I am in need of a lobotomy after that Ru/Aphrodite comment
LOL, Molly!
I can see Ruru on the half shell.
bottom R anyone?
Stop, just stop. Now it's "raw Ru"
*watches rose petals descend on me from the heavens*
I can't see Ruru on the half shell. Maybe slithering along the bottom in the mud.
with hot sauce
To go out to the movies again Peri
I don' need no stinkin' hot sauce
:)
*squirts ruru with lemon juice*
:D
Hego thinks you need "aids" Ru
I found an re6/7 from another R
this is getting kinky
50 shades of Ru.
Lol at my icon. I always loved Mary Poppins. But I terrified myself a couple of weeks ago, when I watched Shirley Valentine again. The first time I saw it was when it came out first, about 25 years ago. The main character - Shirley Valentine was in her mid 40's, and I would have been mid 20's. My perspective had totally changed when I watched it recently. Scary!
Okay, try re + not back
ty Molls
great movie
Never knew a woman over 45 who didn't relate.
I adore that movie. I gave a CD of it to my parents many years ago. They watched it about 50 times.
Soodle, are you the one who said you liked the movie "The Boy In Striped Pajamas"?
I think I watched that movied years ago. will have to watch it again. I am just a tad over 45 :)
doesn't matter Peri.
im 6?
We;
hego do you go to the beach?
I can 't say I liked it, Molly, but I thought it was a damn fine movie.
im + a style of hosiery
rarely Peri
ok
ty
too crowded this time of year.
Did you watch it Molly?
I got talked into watching that movie last week and I was sorry I did. What a depressing film.
which movie was depressing?
I don't know that movie
I get to the beach very early
Where the hell are all these 8 letter words? I only have the St8.
and leave when it starts to get too crowded
two st8
good idea Peri
I read the book before I saw the movie, so I knew what was going to happen.
why don't you do that too, hego?
Depressing film: The Boy In Striped Pajamas. About the holocaust and trust me, once you have been to the Holocaust museum, you don't need any more of that stuff.
style of hosiery?
i do when I go Peri
Fishnet hosiery, but another name, starts with an m.
I think Schindler's list is going to be my last Holocaust movie.. too horrible to think about
I have been to the Holocaust Museum and just read a book: The Storyteller which was about a survivor of the holocaust (fiction)
Ty for that clue, Peri.
really strange word.
ty got the im6
I can watch scary movies about fictional things. I can't watch horror films about evil things people really did.
I like to be entertained by a movie, not depressed.
me too Molly
So.... The first scary thing I did recently was to watch Shirley Valentine again, and the second scary thing I did was to buy a magnifying mirror. Trust me! If you gals don't own a magnifying mirror, don't buy one. They are unkind, harsh and very unflattering.
I can't read true crime stories
they are indeed, Soodle
You need one as you get older Soodle
Don't ever watch the History Channel. Horrifying when the get around to Nazi Germany/Holocaust. And to think that the Nazis documented this stuff on film. Sick Sick Sick.
Otherwise you end up looking like Bozo the clown.
I agree Judi.. it's just incomprehensible
Poor Soodle. You had no idea that pores really look like craters on the moon.
going to read for a while, bbl
Imagines soodle in clown outfit
*with the big clown shoes on*
She would be a really pretty clown.
More incomprehensible that there are still those to this day who deny that the holocaust happened. They need the free tour of the camps and ovens.
yeah.. well.. we call them skinheads judi
I visited Austwich (sp?.. sorry) Bone chilling. Gimme a magnifying mirror anyday.
just crazy
Crossy is back:)
Hiya, Crossy!
But people are good at denial.
howdy, judy:)
Hiya Crossy
Ah Crossy ((()))
no they aren't hego :D
howdy, soodles:)
howdy to hego as well:)
lol u
Ru
Time for a snack. Later! *POOF*
clue please for SE 6/24?
I watched a charming little movie last night, called About Time. It was sweet. I can highly recommend it. No nastiness, just good clean fun.
wasn't that a Stephen Hawking book?
sometimes a good simple, clean programme is the best. I watched a old B&W movie called The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. was delightful.
I love that movie Crossy!
So romantic.
I don't know, Hego, but it is worth watching. And Cross, I love The Ghost and Mrs Muir. They made a series out of it, if I recall correctly.
and not a dry eye in the house at the end.
loved her "cottage" by the sea.. lol the "cottage" had to be 2500 sq feet all told
I love that movie too
That is a great movie..and I liked the series too!
Soodle, I was kidding about the Hawking book. It was a book about physics called that.
Car, the SE 6 you are seeking... SE, me myself and * and Mr Guevara
TY soodle! fireworks!
yaaa for car!!
WTG!!! Car!
and ty soodle
Oh Hego. Sorry. If I were better educated, your gag wouldn't have fallen flat. My bad!
never Soodle!
No matter, humor often falls flat here.
like a pancake
wisecracking in print is tough.
True that!
;)
tell me about it
You, Ruru, are a master!
Molls, any recommendations for what to watch next on Netflix? I started watching Dexter, but he is boring me now...
Everyone please stop what you are doing and bow to Ruru.
Hello babble friends from Canada
It will pick up Soodle
hello river
Bowing, scraping and tugging forelock... Hello River!
Soodle, The West Wing is one of the best dramas on television. I don't know if it is on Netflix, or how interested people in other countries would be about our government.
River is not talking to us Yanks right now.....
howdy river:) I hope you are enjoying your visit:)
Orange is the New Black is good, Soodle.
River is multi-cultural. And, yup, I watched and enjoyed OITNB, Hego.
did you see Breaking Bad?
I have not seen the series but I have read the book and was underwhelmed
Did she see Breaking Bad? She is a Breaking Bad devotee.
Ah.... Breaking Bad spoiled me for life. I don't believe I will ever see another series as good as it.
BB is one series that is currently on my short list for viewing
I agree, great theater there.
Crossy, it's kind of like a s King novel without the supernatural stuff.
I also loved Housse of Cards, the American version.
very gritty.
Crossy loves gritty
the English one was astounding!
I know Crossy.
Funnily, I never watched the English one.
I've heard it was the better one.
I said it before on here, and I'll say it again.... The Tudors is a treat to watch.
I still have the A-1 Car Wash car deodorizer hanging from my turn signal.
:-)
I love anything Tudor related.
Me too, Molls!
Soodle, if you can get it on Netflix, I think you would like The West Wing. If not, try 24.
I want one!
Hego, have you watched the BBC series, with Jonathon Rhys Myers?
24 is amazing!
yes, oh yes Soodle!
I find 24 a little far fetched.
Excellent! Thats my bedtime viewing sorted until Christmas. :-)
:)
good to have your life in order.
Steady on, there, Hego. Take a whiff of your smelling salts, m'dear!
hahahaha!
:-)
Evening all
With shows like 24, you have to suspend your disbelief. It's a great action series. With lots of complicated story lines.
Johnny in a codpiece, not bad.
Hi Jaxx
some days i simply play Netflix Roulette http://imgur.com/a/26hf4
Hello Jaxx :-) Ooooh Hego, the eyecandy in The Tudors would brighten up anybody's day!
good idea Crossy
yup!
So we are back to eye candy, eh?
http://netflixroulette.net/ there ya go. proper url
Jaxx it does seem to come back to that.
Simon Baker was lovely in that also.
I think that might be the third night in a row.
only th third?
As far as I can recall, yes
Oh gee, I always forget Soodle needs hunky men in her television watching venue. I won't mention Carlos Bernard.
I think we would be worried were she to watch beautiful women instead
I'm not worried
Really?
Done and must go. Lovely day/evening to all.
Bye, Hego
Nope, not at all
A progressive woman, eh?
Oh this is interesting.
What is?
Allow me to allay all fears/doubts/concerns. Soodle is appreciative of alluring men. She is (possibly jealous) but mainly unaffected by beautiful women.
Me? Of course I am interesting
Used to have a contractor who came into our office and provided a diet coke moment - then he got fat :(
Evening all
Dammit. I was enjoying the chat. I'm off to do other stuff. Good night all.
Must change my deodorant :D
I met a man a little while ago that had been a major crush of mine at the age of 10. Nearly fifty years later, he was still minblowingly attractive.
mind even
Just passing through myself, may see you later jaxx
Hi, Chrissie. How's things? I was going to say t****s but thought better of it! lol
crossy has been called many things, but I have never been a "diet coke" moment:)
Do you feel you have missed out?
I bet Mrs crossy would say differently
... and done ... all praise be to lickety ... ... may I offer a clue for anyone? ...
66 clues please! lol
... route ... from chicago to LA... wasn't it ... ... hey they can be found ... good night and good luck ...
I shall stagger on. Congrats, dose
Hi jaxx. All good here. The "kids" left about 9pm so waiting for the phone call to say they are home safely - should be between 1 and 2am. How are things with you?
I am hot and miserable.
Why miserable?
Don't like heat + humidity and my feet look like flippers they are so swollen
Throw in my daughter's ongoing problems and my sister's marital woes and even my broad shoulders are proving too narrow
poor jaxx
Good job you have the flipper feet to hold you up then
Mind you, if julie keeps on finding silly solutions like renting a house for £900 a month when she works part time at Morrisons
....working on the premise if you don't laugh you'll cry...
Exactly.
Is Julie the daughter?
oh, yes, unfortunately
I really wish, with hindsight's 20/20 vision, that I had never had kids.
I never had children. and I am not sorry
I know I wouldn't have the grandchildren but you don't miss what you have never had
I am close to my god daughter
and I have other nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews and that is enough for me
Guess it's not for everyone.
My husband at 70 and me at 68 are faced with having custody of the grandson.
is that a real possibility, jaxx? are the allegations against the parents true?
just tell me to shut up if you want to
Sounds tough jaxx.
just found a nice me7/36
They have been exaggerated by Ashley himself but there is a kernel of truth in there. The problem is the tangle of half siblings and ex partners of current partners. I should write a book!
sounds like there are too many people involved in the situation
how old is Ashley?
Throw in documents from years ago that have just turned up and the SS won't let us see and it is a right b*****s muddle
He was 9 on Independence Day
documents from years ago? are they even relevant and why won't they let you see them. is that not your right?
They say they show a pattern.
If we accept parental responsibility for Ash then only Julie, us and him will be inspected.
What if you don't?
jaxx, I am sorry that you are going through all of this.
bbl
Then my grandaughter and her dad and his wife, Norton (Ashley's half brother) and his mother and current partner, and Julie's current partner (Norton's dad) will be inspected too
They have a very poor opinion of us as well which is shown by the current report that they have let us see.
What a nightmare!
We will have to reorganise our house so Ashley can have a room to himself. I shall end up sleeping on a guest bed.
Sounds like blackmail. If they really had concerns about the extended family, those concerns would not go away just because you take on Ashley.
it would make a great plot for a soap opera. I just wish I wasn't involved.
We shall just have to wait and see what happens when all the meetings are over.
All you need to sell it to the TV stations is someone in a mysterious coma. :D
The concerns would still be there, true, but it will isolate the four of us from all the others. There are people in the extended family, best not involved as they are unpredictable, particularly Jess' dad.
He is the one that when my son committed suicide came out wit 'All I can say is good riddance to bad rubbish'. Nice man - not
Bet you feel like moving to a desert island
I wish I could go into a mysterious coma, jes. It would solve a lot of problems but it won't solve Ashley's plight
Often, chrissie. Do you know of one?
Somewhere a lot cooler than here
Will keep an eye out for one
Please. Thanks for 'listening'.
Anytime :)
It's the men are from mars, women from venus concept. Women need to talk and just want to be listened to, men think they are required to provide a solution.
I am not sure there is a solution for this.
I'm a talker, can't hold my own water :)
There's definitely no easy solution
It's grossly unfair that you and hubby should be enduring this at your time of life though
No-one said life had to be fair. My mother always said there was a bad fairy at my christening as I have never had anything easy. I'm a Capricorn too, a sign that has to climb.
I am stoical, patient and steady. I don't panic which is a good thing. I am always waiting for the next bolt to fall
Not to change the subject, but how's the baby robin coming along?
sorry to intrude but can I have a clue for in 6/24 ?
in + fence door
thanks! kje
ty kje
yw
Just missing 1 i now ( + 60 other words)
The Robin now looks like a Robin. He makes a noise like an adult Robin and he has a death wish!. Last Wednesday I was left as robinsitter while the men went fishing. It was all fine until lunchtime when I couldn't find said robin. He was only in the cage of the Kakariki who is rather unfriendly. How to get him out without letting the parakeet out. He will not go back in easily and we let him out rarely. I put my hand around the little bird and drew him quietly through the partly open cage door.
Chrissie pl the one you have just clued
No, got that
Gosh, heart in mouth time!
se6 anybody?
The robin was unhurt but I was shattered.

ooh, i just discovered the gerund! ty anyway!
hi TO!
sue! how are things?
pretty good, TO, at least Frank is out of the hospital!
i just checked your profile for an update.
Ah. I try to keep it up to date (although not much was happening in the hospital)
i have not seen you for a while, so did not hear the outcome. glad he is home.
well, this was sort of a side trip on the way to dealing with the cancer again; that is still to come
it is back then? I am sorry.
seems to be - showed up on a CT scan and then on a PET scan. Unfortunately no positive biopsies - the GI doc couldn't reach the hot spot since there was a blockage, and the surgeon was having enough trouble just doing the colostomy (there were lots of adhesions; she said everything she looked at looked like it was going to either bleed or perforate, so she just did the colostomy. We'll see what the oncologist says on Tuesday.
i will hope for some postivie news amidst all that.
we were hoping he'd be lucky, and the original surgery + chemo would take care of it, but we knew he was at high risk for a recurrence
he lost a lot of weight and is looking quite thin
that is tough.
my son has been a big help - he's been feeding and walking the dogs and generally taking care of the house (although it does help that I have someone in to clean once a week)
that is good
well, i have been out in the sun all day and i am beat. i am glad i ran onto you although sad to hear your news.
good night, sue.
Night, TO!
