12:54 am

did i see something about an allergy? do you know what it was?

12:55 am

I didn't have much time to guess. I had to rush to the ER.. and I went to my car where I jabbed myself with an epipen

12:55 am

my mom just had a transcather aorta valve replacement at 87 years old. She is doing great

12:55 am

so what's with the cardiologist GR?

12:56 am

Hi tuco, thats great news

12:56 am

they went in port side between her ribs below her breast with a bovine valve

12:56 am

wow

12:57 am

that sounds scarey Ru

12:57 am

has she taken a liking to eating grass tuco :D

12:57 am

it looks a little like cardiac failure. not too bad now, but doc wants it checked out. short of breath, and soo tired all the time. feet and legs were oedematous to the knees. not so now.

12:57 am

that's not good granny..

12:58 am

do you have to wait long for tests?

12:58 am

tuco, scary stuff for both your mom and you. i am so pleased she has pulled through. good for her.

12:59 am

they are doing great things now grannyrose hopefully you will be able to get the kind of care she has had.

12:59 am

the definitive testwill be done y the cardiologist when i see him in a few weeks time. he is a very busy doctor.

1:00 am

if my GP was at all worried she would have my admitted to a hospital.

1:01 am

well Iam worried about you

1:01 am

ok.. that's a better sign then

1:01 am

My mom went to a teaching hospital in Philadelpha. Jefferson University Hospital. They let me see her trans esophogeal echo cardiogram on a monitor. It was amazing.

1:02 am

you taking it easy this week end Ru

1:02 am

don't let the doctors wait too long grannyrose. A squeaky wheel gets the grease!

1:02 am

yeah... sort of.. I'm definitely taking it easy this weekend.

1:03 am

what kind of answer is that--lol

1:04 am

I had a lot to do this week so I pushed through ..even though I wasn't feeling great

1:04 am

tuco, i really am okay at present. the acute phase has been managed well. my immediate superior at work is going to find out how much sick leave i have owing. i might take some time off.

1:05 am

well I hope by monday Ru you are back to full power

1:05 am

thanks pugs..

1:06 am

Rose, I hope you are off work for now

1:06 am

it's been hard to eat.. I get blisters on the roof of my mouth when I come into contact with nuts

1:06 am

yw Ru

1:06 am

Iam not touching that! lol

1:07 am

awww, poor you, ruru. can i ask you something aout your epipen? please?

1:07 am

you'd think this game would affect me then wouldn't you :D

1:07 am

sure

1:07 am

when you use it, do you go all jerky and feel your heart racing?

1:08 am

not jerky.. but my heart does race.. but I was also upset and rushing to the hospital.. so hard to tell

1:08 am

it's the first time I have had to use one.. i'm usually extremely careful about what I eat

1:09 am

is that the first time something like this has happen to you Ru

1:09 am

yeah. the last time i used mine, i was already at the doc's. he and two others almost had to lie on top of me, to stop me from shaking myself off the table.

1:09 am

no.. but I think my allergies to nuts are getting worse

1:10 am

wow GR. .you must be hypersensitive

1:10 am

ruru, is it all nuts? that you are aware of?

1:11 am

mostly walnut, pecans, almonds and hazelnuts.. are the worst.. but now even cashews, and pistachio nuts affect me

1:11 am

egad, mate. you are so going to have to be ever so careful...

1:12 am

that's the thing.. I was really careful.. they were hidden in a salad.. and after I told the server who said NOT A PROBLEM

1:13 am

ER rooms are really expensive

1:13 am

oh for goodness sake!!!

1:14 am

can you make them pay Ru

1:15 am

I wrote a note to the restaurant owner. Haven't heard anything.. mostly I hope she'll train people better

1:16 am

well thats good but I think they should help out there since you did ask

1:16 am

i told the waiter I can't have nuts.. but i wanted a salad (it was hot out).. he said it wasn't a problem the kitchen can leave the nuts out.. but that's not what happened

1:18 am

probably cost too much to make them do right by you--but that sucks

1:18 am

$800 + what my health insurance covers..for one hour.. probably the whole bill was a couple grand

1:19 am

geez Ru--that was one heck of a salad---sorry for ya

1:20 am

lol.. the most expensive salad I ever tried to eat

1:20 am

you could of had gold flakes in it for all that-lol

1:21 am

well it's better than dying at a restaurant.. what a way to go huh?

1:22 am

well thank God, you came through it okay

1:23 am

1:25 am

How are all of you?

1:25 am

1:25 am

1:25 am

Yup - she lives in Cambodia and is only here for a week.

1:25 am

I was lurking on my iPad in bed!

1:27 am

Have you had any snow, Rose?

1:27 am

1:28 am

night pugs get some rest

1:28 am

okay, pugs. hope you catch some good zzz's, love

1:28 am

Huge sympathy - it looks awful down in Vic.

1:28 am

Don should know a few tricks to get you heated up granny

1:29 am

lol!

1:29 am

Though I did think that too.

1:29 am

it was so cold on friday, i refused to get up for hydro.

1:29 am

naughty ruru.

1:29 am

I don't blame you.

1:30 am

did you see the pictures of ballarat covered in snow?

1:30 am

Yes - hard to believe them! The only time I've been to Ballarat, it was a really hot January day.

1:31 am

liz, even in the middle of winter, it is usually balmy weather up there, during the day. of course, at night the temp gauge dips a lot more.

1:32 am

Weather's so strange. We've had frost, which I think is also unusual.

1:33 am

i'm stuck.. damn

1:33 am

But I bet you're almost done!

1:34 am

5 to go

1:34 am

43 here - but haven't been on long.

1:35 am

Love the icon, Ru.

1:35 am

thanks

1:35 am

for all the players who have "monkeys' to help them

1:36 am

That's what I guessed. There's some babble language I find hard to use!

1:36 am

liz, we didn't have a frost this year. just lots of the wet stuff, and biting winds.

1:36 am

Still thinking of coming up to QLD sometime?

1:36 am

you bet!! liz....can't wait.

1:37 am

Looking forward to it :)

1:37 am

Saw some cool whales on Thursday. Will e mail you some pics.

1:38 am

oh, lovely liz. thanx

1:38 am

1:41 am

Thanks.

1:41 am

1:42 am

1:43 am

thats et7/32. the corner e is et7/28

1:43 am

ok.. i'm off to bed.. feel better granny.. i hope you have your heart checked out soon

1:43 am

Still have 38 left - but only started when I said hi, so still looking. Was referring to the e in the bottom right corner.

1:44 am

Sleep well, Ru and Congrats!

1:44 am

okay ruru, i hope you rest well, mate

1:44 am

Your heart????????????????????????????

1:44 am

lolol, calm down liz girl. it's just a bit of cardiac failure. i'm okay

1:45 am

Oh Rose :( You look after yourself, please.

1:46 am

the acute phase has been well managed. now we are waiting for tests and an appointment with my cardiologist.

1:46 am

It seems never ending - you poor thing. How's your leg now?

1:46 am

it seems to tie in with the new BP med. doc is checking my renal function to make sure it isn't that.

1:47 am

He seems to be thorough then, checking things off the list.

1:47 am

well i have two ankles again for starters. or do you mean the knee which is fine and dandy.

1:48 am

No, I meant the ankles but glad about the knee.

1:48 am

Were the swollen ankles linked to the heart stuff?

1:49 am

just over 3 weeks and i see the new doc about the FM and central sensitivity syndrome.

1:49 am

liz, until we get all the results back, we won't know.

1:49 am

That's exciting. Hope he can suggest something to help.

1:49 am

I'll be patient then.

1:50 am

And try not to nag.

1:50 am

and i have an appointment with the lawyers next friday.

1:50 am

Now that will be interesting :)

1:51 am

Missing a j! Just looked at the list! Yikes! jn???? I'd love a clue for that pls.

1:51 am

yeah....when i rang up, i said i was on workcover, and that i felt things were about to turn nasty. they slotted me in ASAP.

1:51 am

That's really good news.

1:52 am

jn5, j + alternative word for grandmother

1:52 am

Thanks. We've had that before. I remember now.

1:52 am

30 to go.

1:55 am

Not finding that no9, so I wouldn't mind a clue, pls.

1:56 am

do you have en6/24, a thing, something which exists?

1:56 am

No but I do now! Thanks for both!!!

1:57 am

gosh, now you are quick, liz. yay for you

1:57 am

Very good clue!

1:57 am

I said thanks before I typed it but saw it as soon as I read the clue.

2:03 am

BBL - hugs, Rose :)

2:03 am

And thanks for the help.

2:05 am

np's liz, catch you later

3:34 am

good morning all :)

3:36 am

pugs says hugs and love, dearest. and so do i.

3:37 am

has our pugs left already for today?

3:37 am

taking it very quietly, sprite. i am so tired, and the cold weather isn't helping....lolol

3:37 am

Just popped back to say Hi :)

3:38 am

she went back to bed and wasn't sure she would be here when you were.

3:38 am

hi Liz :) Thanks for y our beautiful pics.

3:38 am

Glad you got them OK - Rose you (and Pugs) should have them too.

3:38 am

am glad she is sleeping so much lately. She has a lot of catching up to do.

3:39 am

am glad you are taking it easy, rose. Sounds like you need that. *gentle hugs*

3:39 am

How's life treating you, Sprite?

3:40 am

yes thanx liz. they are magic pics.

3:41 am

am good! Just a bad headache and overall blech-ness because of threathening thunderstorms here. If only they would decide to start, I'd be fine, lol.

3:41 am

:) Watching the whales is the magic!

3:41 am

Yeuch! Feel better soon. Hugs

3:41 am

magic is the only word for it. Even on the pics, I can tell.

3:42 am

Feel so lucky to be able to see them.

3:42 am

well you deserve it, Liz

3:43 am

Was going to laugh - then realised I'd send myself to the PB!

3:43 am

*grins*

3:44 am

OK - time to go and be sociable. Hubby's daughter here until Monday. Glad to have caught you. Hugs to both of you

3:44 am

enjoy the company, Liz, and hugs for you and your husband

3:44 am

hugs liz. enjoy, hun

3:46 am

a quick halfway today

3:48 am

yes, sprite

3:48 am

glad to see you, rose... missed you yesterday

3:49 am

i was here very late. stuff sort of happened, and i didn't have time to play

3:49 am

bad stuff? I hope not?

3:50 am

not really bad, just things i had to sort out, and do. i was so tired and cold i could hardly move.

3:51 am

aw sweetie :( It so sucks when you feel like that and there is a lot you simply have to do.

3:51 am

i refused to get up and go to hydro. the weather has turned very cold. no frosts, but plenty of rain, hail and snow.

3:52 am

good for you. You be loyal to your body, that is the only way.

3:52 am

and the wind!!! i am sure it has come straight up from the south pole.

3:53 am

brrrrrr how positively rotten!

3:53 am

:-( i didn't even go out with my friend like we were supposed to do. she always brings her dog with her, and we have to sit outside to eat. and it was too b****y cold.

3:54 am

lolol, here i am bitching about the cold, when you live with it for over half the year.

3:54 am

aw darling. One of those days, huh... am sorry. Here's a big sprite *hug* for you and you alone. Holding you and knowing how very frustrating this is.

3:55 am

you go right ahead and bitch. More space outside than inside for such frustrations, lol.

3:57 am

so what's on your agenda for today?

3:59 am

laundry. Staying sort of sociable with headache and blechness. Reading if possible. Dishes. Bearing the neighbours' noise and the pre-holiday panic of husband and daughter. That is all, I think.

4:00 am

almost too much, my poor love. sister rose says lots of regular time-outs for one sprite today.

4:01 am

I will listen to sister rose

4:06 am

oh, you are gonna receive mail (snail mail) one of these days, rose :D

4:07 am

oooohh, i love mail....will watch out for it...

4:08 am

mail is awesome. In this case, just a little something... but it will make you smile just the same.

4:12 am

sprite, any thing from you would make me smile. in this day and age, the art of sending letters/cards is being lost.

4:13 am

ain't that the truth, sistah!

4:14 am

would have sworn that no9 is written with a -

4:15 am

just as well as you didn't then. lol...no - in no9

4:16 am

lol

4:18 am

fireflies. Easypeasy today

4:18 am

WTG SPRITE!!!

4:19 am

sweetie, am gonna do a sudoku and then on the couch for another lie-down. *hugs* and know that I will be thinking of you... and sending truckloads of angels your way for healing and support...

4:20 am

and to you all out there, a blessed day and a peaceful night. My love for pugs, in case you are here when she comes back.

4:20 am

ditto, sprite, darling. please take it slowly today.

4:20 am

will do :)

4:22 am

oh, no. on the news, one of our favourite eating places had a huge gum tree come down on it at about 2am today. about half of it has been destroyed.

5:24 am

Good day kids. Yesterday I came here and the site promptly shut down.

7:25 am

howdy scrabby

7:26 am

We had a wonderful paddle on Hemlock Lake yesterday, Crossy. We found a nice beach, brought our folding chairs, had lunch, read, and swam. Perfect day.

7:26 am

caught me showing my son how to make an backpacking alcohol stove out of a pop can, he is thrilled with the think. You would think I did magic;) the old man can still show the kid a thing or two:)

7:27 am

very nice:)

7:27 am

thing

7:27 am

I like learning survival tricks.

7:28 am

and it is so easy(though i researched the heck out of it first) too many people try to fancy them up and they run into issues

7:28 am

would you like the vid clip for the one i use, scrabby?

7:30 am

it fits right into a travel titanium cooking pot i have along with my bandanna of 1001 uses;)

7:31 am

Yes, Crossy.

7:31 am

http://tinyurl.com/kqxuqaq

7:32 am

there ya go, the easiest and simplest and uses the least alcohol(i use those little bottles of gas line anti-freeze or just carry a small bottle of rubbing alcohol)

7:36 am

Thanks.

7:36 am

np:)

7:37 am

sounds like an amazing day for you on the lake.We were hiking the Bruce yesterday and everything hurts today:)

7:39 am

My arms are sore. The first half of our paddle south on the lake was against the wind and the current.

7:39 am

remind me never to arm wrestle you:)

7:39 am

Oh dear, I hope people who are experienced with a knife follow those directions. That video looks like a trip to the emergency room in the making. : D

7:39 am

yes, care must be taken

7:40 am

if the knife scares you, use tin snips

7:40 am

It is a good idea for use in a power failure as well.

7:40 am

can cut yourself quite easily if you are too forceful

7:41 am

they are very handy. good to have a few kicking around

7:41 am

great video cross!

7:42 am

it is the best tutorial for this type of stove that i have found, babs

7:43 am

fits right into you travel cooking pot and the fuel is pennies only

7:45 am

a few packs of ramen noodles, some of those soft packs of tuna, some cup-a-soup's and a zip-lock baggie of gorp and you can hit the trail for a week;))

7:46 am

and tea bags, of course;)

7:46 am

When we were Girl Scouts we used a tuna fish can and packed it with cardboard covered with wax, put a wick in the middle, and that was our fire. Then we used a large coffe can, turned over for our cooking surface.

7:46 am

yup, there are many ways to make a little cook stove

7:48 am

GORP = trail mix...good old raisins and peanuts

"What is it with people from Chicago that they're so happy to have been born there? I meet so many people who can't wait to tell me they're from Chicago and when I meet them, they're living anywhere but Chicago." ~ Jed Bartlet

9:44 am

oops wrong one, as usual

9:45 am

Because, if you're from nowhere Illinois, where will you say you're from>

9:48 am

i went to illinois yearly meeting (a quaker thing) and you drove to the largest tree in illinois (near the middle of nowhere) and turned left and then drove two miles to the middle of nowhere where they have a meeting house. . .

9:48 am

Lucky you found those turns.

9:49 am

10:37 am

NM

10:42 am

your icon looks like a cover of a watchtower pamphlet molly :D

10:46 am

the Jehovah's have been active in my neighborhood, riding around in their white shirts and ties and on bikes

10:49 am

Those sound more like Mormon missionaries ruru

10:50 am

oh.. maybe that's it.. they tried to stop me on my walk last night with the dog

10:50 am

They will all have black nametags as well. I live in a highly Mormon country

10:50 am

I get a lot of missionaries around here for some reason in this part of town

10:51 am

I saw the book of Mormon and you're right jilli.. they must have been Mormons.. I'm guessing my "Screw Romney" t-shirt didn't throw them off

10:52 am

LOL....one time they made the mistake of knocking on my door, awakened me in middle of day when I was working graveyards. Not my finest moment...I opened the door, saw them and said "I'm Catholic g-damn it." and slammed the door

10:53 am

I told these nice Christian ladies who knocked on my door .. i'm an atheist and I'm on the phone right now with God.. gotta go

10:54 am

*I wish I could have taken a picture*

10:54 am

Good one!

10:56 am

Those Mormons are probably still praying for "that Catholic woman who took the Lord's name in vain"

10:57 am

it is he 4 + Ha 4 x 3

10:57 am

got one of them

10:57 am

bet you're right molly :D

10:58 am

Only too true Molly. I did post a sign on door after that noting not to disturb a shift worker

10:58 am

I used to work graveyard and hated being woken up during the day by solicitors too

10:59 am

OK, need actual clue for en7

10:59 am

en + boy scout equipment + plus a vowel

11:00 am

TY!!

11:00 am

yw

11:00 am

Too many n's and t's today!

11:01 am

this was a tricky grid

11:01 am

wow, that gave me quite a few more words after seeing that T

11:01 am

Oh yes Jilly. I just finished, but spent quite some time not seeing the no6/27 that means skinny.

11:02 am

ooo, ty for that one!

11:03 am

Yw. :)

11:04 am

Keep trying nonsense...to no avail...LOL

11:07 am

fa6/7 a new compound word for me

11:10 am

we've had it before jilly

11:10 am

Yep

11:11 am

Oh, it could be my memory, or lack thereof...LOL

11:12 am

a lot of people said ennead was a new word to them.. but we've had it dozens of times .. not just you jilly :D

11:13 am

I do know that one!

11:13 am

hey molly..i'm going to a comedy show tonight

11:13 am

What show?

11:13 am

Lisa Lampenelli is out here.. I find her funny, but slightly abusive.. it will be interesting.. I need a few laughs

11:14 am

will have to youtube her...but I don't really enjoy or need abusive after this week

11:15 am

bad week?

11:15 am

me too

11:17 am

Yes. Our hospital has cramped down on budget. Working very short staffed in my department. Yesterday was on my feet for 8 hours straight with one bathroom break.

11:17 am

Good for you Ru. Comedy shows often put things in perspective. : D

11:18 am

Oh! Name that character from Johnny Quest!

11:19 am

Well, Hadji, but no D here.

11:19 am

that sounds pretty bad jilly

11:19 am

well, close....going phonetically

11:20 am

Careful, Name that...is supposed to be words that are not allowed.

11:20 am

Didn't realize the rules...LOL...

11:21 am

oh.. don't get me started on rules around here

11:21 am

Always better to beg forgiveness than ask permission I say!

11:21 am

Well if you answer in a word that is in the grid, you would be in PB violation. Although the PB is kind of empty and cobwebby these days.

11:22 am

You vill follow ze rules and you vill LIKE THEM!!!

11:23 am

Poor cabana boys... ;P

11:23 am

you sound like the old order molly

11:23 am

Watch those age references with us women ruru!

11:24 am

That's okay, I got his drift

11:24 am

<--no spring chicken himself

11:26 am

<--but still pluckable

11:26 am

Are you trying to feather your nest?

11:26 am

not yet.. but soon

11:32 am

<---FW!!

11:35 am

And have to head out to chores *inserts requiste alphabet soup*

11:35 am

congrats jilly

11:36 am

Hag day!!

11:54 am

*Wonders what requiste alphabet soup is*

11:55 am

I wondered that too

12:14 pm

hint for the fa6/7 that has been in grids before, pls

12:17 pm

hi

12:19 pm

Hi everyone....Peri, do you know why Hurshy is not on any longer. I miss her and her odd sense of humor. She made me laugh!!

12:19 pm

I don't know for sure, I heard that another babbler had been harassing her.

12:19 pm

I miss her too.

12:22 pm

I found the fa6/7 and I do not remember ever seeing it here before.

12:22 pm

I hate that. I think some took what she was saying wrong. I wish she were still here. I do not chat much since I had a stroke, but I still read while babbling.

12:28 pm

hi all!

12:28 pm

i son t understqnd why anyone whould be mean to anyone elseon here............ have always felt good about ther folks on this site.......

12:29 pm

me too, sammysmom, it always makes me sad when people here don't get along

12:32 pm

I don't think it was a matter of "getting along" with Hurshy.. I think she was scared

12:33 pm

that really is too bad :-(

12:34 pm

and rightfully so in my opinion

12:34 pm

scared ru?... that someone might be able to find her and hurt her?? ???

12:34 pm

stalked

12:34 pm

I must have missed what went on

12:34 pm

and not just her

12:35 pm

somebody can stalk you online and do a lot of damage without a physical threat (I don't know if that's what was happening here)

12:35 pm

i find that terrifying !!

12:36 pm

No one "too what she was saying wrong". She was very specific and said she felt stalked.

12:37 pm

dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

12:38 pm

The stalker is no longer here, correct?

12:38 pm

the stalker is still here

12:39 pm

Why didn't Dr. God ban him/her?

12:39 pm

and this is the only site that i have ever said anything about my life of family on line............ sometimes ya just has ta say hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

12:39 pm

can he do that?

12:39 pm

yes, he can, sammysmom

12:39 pm

I remember when Hurshy joined Babble.

12:40 pm

that is a really loaded question car.ee

12:41 pm

Honestly, and sad to say, you should never "feel safe" anywhere on line.

12:41 pm

Well it shouldn't be. Hurshy should be here and the other person not.

12:41 pm

I agree.. but Dr. G doesn't

12:41 pm

Unfortunately, what should happen and what does happen are two different things.

12:43 pm

Also folks, please be careful on Facebook. People who are your "friends" can copy any of your posted pictures and email them to people that you might not want to see them.

12:43 pm

I think it is good to assume that anything you put online is public

12:44 pm

I do too Sue, but some people think that because they have "privacy" things set on Facebook, they are safe.

12:46 pm

Having the privacy settings helps but, as you say, you still are counting on the people you share things with not to share them more widely. Kind of like real lift except it's a lot easier to do online.

12:47 pm

real life, not real lift. I need better glasses.

12:48 pm

Hurshy was a good person. The only family she talked about were her kitties. She mentioned each time she became an aunt....and the time she was having marital problems. She is a smart lady and I miss her "ding, ding, ding"

12:49 pm

I agree, smdnjv.

12:50 pm

en 7/28 ??

12:51 pm

agreement between nations, sammysmom

12:51 pm

I think I remember her quoting the whole script of Pirates of the Carribean!!!

12:51 pm

She accused a young player of duplicity. After a few days of accusations, the youngster became scared and left Babble as did most of her adult friends. I don't know what really transpired.

12:53 pm

Deutsch, I don't recall that but I will say that if Hursh said anything to someone about being duplicitous, she probably had a good reason for doing it.

12:54 pm

Perhaps.

12:55 pm

fireworks!

12:55 pm

woo woo sue!

12:55 pm

Duplicity has been a constant problem here. There is no check on how many times a person can register using different names.

12:56 pm

Well, if you have different email addresses, it would be hard to keep track

12:56 pm

not to mention multiple personalities :D

12:58 pm

firewords here too. tx River and all cluers. an6/18 was my last - an + anagram of bird home

12:58 pm

I miss Nancy Boy also. I remember a conversation once that someone said that he really did not die but was using a different ID. I disagreed even tho I did not say so at the time. There could only be one "Nancy Boy".

12:58 pm

oh boy

12:58 pm

A chat forum that is moderated does not allow users with the same IP address to register with different email addresses. This forum is not moderated.

12:58 pm

Smd, Nancy Boy was a hoax.

12:59 pm

smdnjv.. I hate to tell you this.. but nancy boy was a fake

1:00 pm

OMGoodness. How was that discovered. He was on here for years!!!! That must have been during the time I was recovering from a stroke.

1:00 pm

Nancy Boy is like Elvis.. he didn't really die :D

1:01 pm

There is a person (or persons, I tend to think it is a group) that regularly sign on here under fake names and work at duping people by befriending them. People fall for it all the time.

1:02 pm

I loved that kid into adulthood and then death. I still have him as a friend on here. I have to be really stupid to be duped that long!!!!

1:03 pm

No, you are not stupid, just kind. The person or people who get off on doing that sort of thing are pretty sick though.

1:06 pm

I cried when someone on here told that he died from disease caught in Korea when he went back to register for service. And then the rant from a friend that he did not tell because he wanted to die in peace.

1:07 pm

you were among many who fell for their games smd

1:08 pm

lots of people were gullible

1:09 pm

register for service? what?

1:09 pm

I think that from now on, I will lurk and play and not get involved.

1:09 pm

it was drama (fake) created that he was flying home to confront his parents about his gayness

1:11 pm

I hate to admit I fell for it for a long while too

1:11 pm

ruru.....it was told that he had to go back to his birth country...Korea....to register for service...like the army. I can't remember exactly how it was put.

1:12 pm

nope.. that wasn't it

1:12 pm

The story I heard about Nancy Boy, from Nancy Boy was that he was going to Korea to confront his parents about his sexuality. Again, it was all fake drama.

1:12 pm

it was all about confronting his father and being "who he is" and gay.. blah blah blah

1:13 pm

*puts on "Lurkers are boring" t-shirt*

1:13 pm

These fake posters are big on drama.

1:14 pm

gay drama

1:15 pm

All kinds of drama.

1:15 pm

I think I got my info from stidmama and stidgmere and featherbee, at the time. shortly after that I had a stroke and I guess I missed the unfolding drama.

Not fair, Ru - lots of perfectly non-gay fake drama on the Web!

1:16 pm

i'm just speaking about this group Helens.. not on the web

1:16 pm

HGK has a point : D

Ah - we just don't have enough fake drama to provide a good sample! Not that I want more . . .

1:17 pm

these guys have a penchant for creating gay drama and bisexual drama and animal rescue drama

1:17 pm

Well, for what it's worth, I think this group has gotten into non gay drama to throw people off. But fake drama is fake drama.

Sick children drama? That's big on the Web.

1:18 pm

Hey all

1:19 pm

Any drama will do if you are an attention seeker.

Hi Jan.

1:21 pm

Please don't tell me Hurshy was drama?

1:21 pm

no.. that was real

1:22 pm

I remember also Lickety and MRP having stalker trouble but that was "real world."

1:23 pm

I guess I've been lurking too long. Is Hazel still here?

1:24 pm

I think it was real world but now I am not sure of that either. I have been told that Lickety and Mrp have split.

1:24 pm

Am I reading correctly that Hurshy is gone?

1:25 pm

gone from Babble..chiley

1:25 pm

And Hazel too?

1:26 pm

haz is protesting.. but still plays and lurks

1:27 pm

hurshy doesn't play babble any longer

1:28 pm

Sorry to hear that. i just never got involved in the ongoing feuds or drama.

1:29 pm

the last time I saw Hurshy on Babble was back about the end of February.

1:29 pm

I don't know about feuds..I think it is a personal decision on her part

1:30 pm

that's about right smd.. somewhere around then

1:36 pm

Why is haz protesting?

1:38 pm

hello everyone -- everyone is out shopping or doing tourist things, so I have the house to myself for an hour :-)

1:38 pm

not exactly sure igg. sorry. it's in her profile

1:39 pm

hi nan

1:39 pm

Granddaughters Hairspray Jr. production was yesterday -- can't believe how well those kids did with only 10 days from meeting for the first time to production.

1:44 pm

That's not very much time to put a show together

1:45 pm

no, and they did exceptionally well -- mind you their workshop ran from 9am - 4pm each day.

1:45 pm

even so there were a lot of talented kids on that stage.

1:46 pm

our granddaughter refuses to perform for the family, so it came as quite a surprise to me to discover that she is an alto

Fireworks - finally untangled the t's!

1:53 pm

hello dear friends. Wow, I really needed a big grid today...bummer

2:35 pm

howdy trif:) caught me doing my endless editing:)

2:35 pm

it's ok, crossy....

2:35 pm

Im slogging away at nbt here

2:36 pm

I find I do better if I have some other mental task to bounce back and forth with

2:37 pm

I was trying to pay a bill on line, but the company website is heinous, so it didn't go through.

2:37 pm

so i keep babble up on a split screen with my novel on the other side. Works pretty well:)

2:37 pm

ugh@ internet bill payments

2:38 pm

seriously. I am WAY behind on this one too, and it's only partly my fault, I swear! I tried to go to their office and pay it - turns out their "office address" was a post office. Tried to pay it on line - no go. They don't accept personal checks, and I am d_mned if I am going to pay for a money order because their web site blows

2:39 pm

so NOW I have to wait until monday to call them

2:40 pm

that is terrible set up for payments

2:40 pm

hope it is a bona fide business. their payment set-up sounds shady

2:41 pm

the whole thing makes me want to scream

2:41 pm

I am trying to pay the bill. I swear, they go out of their way to make it harder!

2:42 pm

My nemisis is Rogers. They are one of the triad of monopolistic Isp/cable/phone providers here in our area

2:43 pm

I just feel so slimy now - It's my fault I got behind, and I own that. But the way they make you feel if you do! like I am the worst scum on the earth

2:43 pm

they would be equivilant to your AT&T by the sounds of things

2:43 pm

I know it trif.

2:44 pm

good afternoon!

2:44 pm

we have one more year on our smart phone contract, then I think we are going back to pay-as-you go phones..less headache

2:44 pm

hello enomis

2:44 pm

howdy enomis

2:44 pm

Ha Tri - stuck in Rogersland - i sympathize

2:44 pm

not with rogers actually, but similar approach, I guess

2:44 pm

hey cross - you're done? Congrats!

2:45 pm

Is it not horrid, enomis? I swear i must of been three kinds of stupid to get these phones on a 3 year contract

2:45 pm

poor you, and of course, they are closed on weekends...

2:45 pm

no, not done the grid yet

2:46 pm

and If you mean the book, I have once more fallen into the writers trap of editing in sections before the end has been written

2:46 pm

yes Cross, I was there but with Bell - never looked back when I left hat contract behind

2:46 pm

oh oh you're supposed to finish before editing ( and yes I meant the book :)

2:47 pm

I am bad:(

2:47 pm

but the entire section 2 is done:) leaves the last part then a nice or catastrophic finish

2:47 pm

count for lower right e please, for the love of god?

2:47 pm

I guess it,s normal cross

2:48 pm

en 7/28

2:48 pm

thank you crossy

2:49 pm

may just kill everyone off in the book for all the grief they have given me:)) mwahaha

2:49 pm

well, that's one option! however not very nice for your readers...

2:49 pm

they should all get married - you know an Harlequin kind of ending... lol

2:49 pm

rule # 42: Put your protagonist(s) through 15 shades of living hell

2:50 pm

way better...

2:50 pm

an anti-hero is always nice as well;)

2:50 pm

Hi all

2:50 pm

howdy boobear

2:51 pm

hey boobear

2:51 pm

hello boo bear

2:52 pm

cross, you should have a female anti-hero and she should save the planet at the end! (oh no wait, that's the script for 24...)

2:52 pm

lol. Not a sci-fi, but I will keep it in mind for the next book:)

2:52 pm

(((((bowing))))) pleased to help! :)

2:53 pm

I think I am going to stick to the grid and leave the writing to you!

2:53 pm

With the U.S.A set to import ebola patients, I may do a spin on that and wipe out a few states;)

2:54 pm

ouch...

2:54 pm

means a lot of research though:(

2:54 pm

I'm telling you, harlequin books are up go something...

2:55 pm

so, many of those things around, both our used book stores keep a bin outside full of them and give them away

2:55 pm

perfect for reading in the bath though

2:56 pm

good for the composter as well:)

2:56 pm

yep

2:56 pm

boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love. girl gets boy into pickle. boy gets girl out of pickle. boy gets pickle into girl.

2:56 pm

especially if they are dropped in the bath...

2:57 pm

:) not my type of reading

2:57 pm

tri you should not tell the ending of the book :)

2:57 pm

bodice rippers;)

2:57 pm

that is also the plot of every romantic comedy and musical ever, according to my college prof :)

2:57 pm

me neither, I get frustrated at the writing and end up throwing the book across the room

2:58 pm

or in the bath, depends

2:58 pm

sadlu, unless something changes, my heroine is going to die a totally unexpected and tragic death and it will be slow

2:58 pm

guess who is feeling VERY smug, as she just found the 9 all by herself?

2:58 pm

go tri!!!

2:58 pm

yaaa for trif!

2:58 pm

she could drown while reading in the bath...

3:03 pm

3:03 pm

3:06 pm

Ty

3:06 pm

lickety has one up

3:07 pm

there ya go:)

3:08 pm

do not use Lickety much myself. however, it has been a while since I have gotten myself down to 20 words :)

3:09 pm

could not finish a grid without Lickety

3:09 pm

but not using as much because Lickety pro doesn't work on a Mac

3:10 pm

which means that i often not finish

3:10 pm

I have never owned a mac. I like digging into the entrails of my pc tower and those all-in-one macs are not built for that:(

3:12 pm

and I switched to mac because I was tired of digging into the entrails of my PC!

3:12 pm

Macs are pretty things though and the displays are superlative

3:12 pm

lol, enomis

3:13 pm

yes I like the simplicity of them and the feel of the keyboards

3:14 pm

See them all the time in the medical profession. seems like every office i go into has a Mac all-in-one on the desk with a 30 inch display:)

3:14 pm

lots of eye appeal

3:14 pm

really neat to watch movies... don't know if they're better for the medical world...

3:15 pm

yes and simple to use

3:15 pm

they seem to prefer them

3:15 pm

yes, i am sure they excell for multi-media applications

3:16 pm

did you find the bottom right e?

3:16 pm

but blow a fan or have a stick of memory go and you have to ship the entire thing off. A fan goes in mine, i open up the side, pull out the fan, take it to store, get another 5 dollar fan and go home and put it in, all for 8 dollars

3:16 pm

it is et 7/28

3:43 pm

Its a pretty good crowd for a Saturday, as the regular crowd shuffles in (Well, Soodle shuffles in, anyway...)

3:46 pm

For anybody 10 years older/younger than me... that was a line from a Billy Joel song.....

3:48 pm

Soodle shuffles uncomfortably around the chog. Shifts from one foot to the other, and calls for another drink. Tries to look inconspicuous

3:48 pm

((soodle))

3:48 pm

Thanks the Lord that Jaxx arrives!!! Hey Jaxx!

3:50 pm

How is your weekend going, Jaxx?

3:50 pm

Dang it...I knew the song, but didn't catch that! Piano Man....woohoo!

3:50 pm

sing us a song you're the piano man...

3:51 pm

I have had an awful experience - I have received a copy of the photo my friend took yesterday. We were in a cafe and the resident cat sat on my lap. I was stroking it when Debs took the pic. Aah! you can't see the cat so I look as if ia asleep. Ihad treble chins and looked like a man. lol

3:51 pm

Ding Ding Ding Champ & Econ!!!

3:51 pm

poor jaxx

3:53 pm

Ah, Story of my life in pictures, Jaxx. More chins than a Chinese Telephone Directory! (I always wanted to use that joke and never got a chance.. chi-ching)!!

3:53 pm

Now I know why I usually avoid having my pic taken. I shall shortly be arrested for murder of my BF.

3:55 pm

Otherwise, my weekend is going well.

3:56 pm

It has rained here today non stop. Roads are flooded, I put my central heating on this evening, I have had my house lights on since about 4.00 today. HELLOOO. It's August 2nd!

3:57 pm

hasn't this been a strange year for weather?

3:59 pm

I just had a SnapChat from my youngest, who works part time in a hotel, to pay her way through College. A Ladies lavatory, absolutely destroyed with human waste. And some horrible witch decided that it was ok for her to leave the facilities like that for another person to clean up. Shaking my head in despair.

4:01 pm

Some folk are just animals. I am so sorry that your daughter had to see this

4:01 pm

Unbelievable!

4:04 pm

Me too, Jaxx. It outrages me that people can expect other people to clean up hideous messes. My girl is 19 and was brought up reasonably well. To think that somebody thinks that it's OK for her to clean up their excrement infuriates and excorsises me. Rant over.

How gross Soodle. My kids did crappy jobs to pay their way through college and uni too. I sympathise. It's not what we want for them.

4:04 pm

I think the rant is justified.

4:05 pm

jest

4:05 pm

That it definitely wasn't. Free word as usual

You never disappoint jaxx :)

4:06 pm

LOL, and Hi Chrissie :-)

4:06 pm

It has become my trade mark! lol

Hi Soodle, jaxx, champ

4:09 pm

Hi, chrissie

4:10 pm

Chrissie, my older girl did the same hotel job as Suzie. Now she is some sort of scientific guru(which her poor old elderly mother does not understand) and she is in a position which does not require her to clean up human excrement. Which is a plus, all things considered.

4:13 pm

By the way.. can I help anybody with clues?

It's just a means to an end . Same with my kids and I'm sure your youngest has an equally bright future ahead of her.

Still, there's no excuse for someone leaving the facilities in such an appalling condition!

4:15 pm

Of course it is, Chrissie. Sometimes it's just tricky to see the wood for the trees! But, everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, its not the end!

4:15 pm

My granddaughter has got herself a job as a waitress. Tonight she was half an hour past her leaving time because no-one had cleared up the outside tables. She had gone from 5.15 to 9.45 without a drink. She was thirsty and thought that she would be walking home but dear grandad had gone for her and waited.

God bless grandad

4:16 pm

What a foul woman that was. May she get her just desserts

4:16 pm

hello friends. I love that saying Soodle. It gets me through a lot of disgusting stuff

4:17 pm

Yay for Grandads!

4:17 pm

Hi, bugs. Long time no talk

4:17 pm

Was Grandad Nigel?

4:18 pm

Indeed. he is the only one she has.

4:18 pm

I have been quite quiet lately.I still love you all and wish you all well.

4:18 pm

Lol Bugs. Sometimes, 'sayings' can get you through difficult times.

4:18 pm

Great to have you back.

4:19 pm

Bugs... I was thinking I hadn't seen you recently. Its lovely to see you again ((()))

I like the quote in you bio Bugs. Just shared it with hubby

4:20 pm

I have been busy with family and volunteering in my community. I am active in a terrific group but just added another job.

4:21 pm

My battery is on it's last legs. I will say goodnight before it expires. Night all and thanks for the company. ((()))

4:22 pm

Thanks Chrissie. It is there to remind myself more than to preach to others but it is a good one. I love little mantras that can be recited to sideswipe panic.

Night Soodle

6:44 pm

hi crossy. hope you are well

6:45 pm

I am doing ok bugs, and you?

6:46 pm

slow but steady. same as always

6:47 pm

do you have the second part of your novel up yet?

6:47 pm

wins the race they say:)

6:47 pm

not yet. but I am just about finished it. two more days should see it done

6:48 pm

It is holding my inerest so keep those pages coming.

6:48 pm

I am, however undecided on if I should put the second part up on authonomy or wait untill part three and the conclusion are finished as well

6:49 pm

I am no use. I like to read the whole thing in one go. It helps my failing memory. :)

6:49 pm

actually what you read IS part two. I actually went back in time and did part one secondly> I will then add on to what you have read already. that is actually the easy part

6:50 pm

well, whatever you decide. Just remember your Babble fans are waiting to cheer you on.

6:50 pm

what is on my screen now and almost finished is an extended prologue of sorts and I think it will add much depth to the overall tale

6:51 pm

That is well. I need all the good wishes I can get

6:52 pm

Hi crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log.

6:52 pm

Hello Bugsaw! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.

6:53 pm

howdy min!

6:55 pm

Hi Minveryork. I just finished and should get back to house cleaning. It is not my favourite job.

6:58 pm

for chuckles I will also run the completed manuscript through a "Hemingway" app just to see what comes out the other end:)

7:04 pm

Hello just getting started and letting the tomato/chicken sauce simmer. I don't know how to spell catchatori. I also don't know how to make it but this is inspired by the more complicated dish.

7:07 pm

howdy stidmere

7:07 pm

I am sure it will turn out fine.:)

7:08 pm

I crossy. It smells good so I think we've got a good start. Thing is to let the chieken cook completely. I wish I had a good dessert but that is not going to happen this evening!

7:09 pm

Sometime the big Chefs make it more complex than it needs to be as it adds a touch of panache and showmanship. Sometimes it is useful to cut through the glitter.

7:10 pm

I have the best recipe for a baked apple desert but you need two punds of your fav apples, a pack of golden cake mix and a tube of crescent roll dough

7:10 pm

pound

7:10 pm

This evening it will be glitterless. We've had some weeks of pretty warm weather and I just seem to loose any ounce of stifftening I usually have!

7:11 pm

Your dessert sounds very nice but I lack 3 out of 3 ingredients. I have heard of appleless apple pie but this would be more minimal than my chicken sauce!

7:12 pm

mm,lacking 3 out of 3.. :(

7:12 pm

must feed the kitties brb

7:15 pm

Murphy had his kibbles, gravy, meat juice, and yogurt for dinner. Just a cup of kibbles twice a day.

7:18 pm

back. it is amazing, stidmere. You line a lasagne oven dish with one tube of crescent roll dough, then peel, core, and cut 2 pounds of apples into segments and lay in the dish, then sprinkle 3/4 of the pack of golden cake mix overtop, shaking the dish to get the powder into the crevies , then pour 1/4 pound of butter on top, add 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbs of brown sugar and bake at 350f till edges of dough are brown

7:18 pm

crevices

7:18 pm

What a lovely dessert, crossy!

7:19 pm

I just thought crevies was Canadian for crevasses!

7:19 pm

It is truly tasty

7:19 pm

and quick to mak. it almost turns into a apple crescent roll cobbler

7:20 pm

you will have to just interpet my typing tonight. fingers are tired

7:20 pm

I am going to make a peach cobbler tomorrow.

7:20 pm

I bet it would be amazing if you did my recipe with peaches

7:20 pm

My eyes are a bit tired, too. I've been reading mystery books. Lovely for summer afternoons that are so peaceful!

7:21 pm

good books are a good friend indeed

7:26 pm

Yes. Fruit is often interchangeable according to the season!

7:28 pm

our best apples are not due for for another month at least:)

7:29 pm

During the Fall harvest you can almost smell the apple presses in action as they make our very own local hard cider in a little town called Thornbury, just 15 minutes up the road from me.:)

7:33 pm

Hello stidgmere!How are you doing today?Welcome to grid

7:45 pm

Hi minver, I'm doing just fine. Summer is wonderful and the fruit is ripening and the grass growing. We are very much appreciating the season.

7:48 pm

We are loving our summer this year. it is perpetual early summer with nights of 9-15c and daytime highs of 15-20 c. Some call it the summer that never was, but I am quite content. I do not need to roast to have a summer.

7:48 pm

7:59 pm

Tomorrow will be fine. He doesn't have to come out again, today.

If he doesn't help then I have an over-full fridge until I can get them to you...

8:02 pm

8:03 pm

We'll go ahead and re-arrange the fridge, I think. We'll have to get the veggies to you tomorrow afternoon some time. Down to 38 so far. have a great evening. *poof*

9:03 pm

As I continue with my novel, I find that the way it develops and grows to be almost as interesting as the book itself. (I know you are all probably bored to tears hearing about) but I had been playing with ti all day and doing not much by editing and adding a few words here and taking away the odd word there, so not a whole lot was happening until one hour ago, I get this gigantic flash of inspiration. Actually it is not a flash, and it does not creep up on me but entire chunks of the story suddenly appear in my mind as a whole. So, in the last hour alone, I have added the staggering amount of 6500 words! I Am quite chuffed with myself;))

9:33 pm

wtg Crossy - staggering indeed! (just back home, catching up on 'stuff' back to babble
