10:09 am

Is there a free livestream of the World Cup finals? I cancelled TV over 2 years ago.

10:09 am

So, you need as vacation to rest up from your vacation?

I sure do, Kate! I slept until 0930 today.

10:10 am

:D good for you! You must have needed it.

10:11 am

A friend's family is from Croatia and she just visited there a few weeks ago. I am cheering for Croatia therefore.

My leech bite is still swollen and itchy. It was a tiny leech but nasty.

10:28 am

Your team tied it up Scrabbs. Hub announced.

10:28 am

I hope some of peri's rain comes my way, we got rain last night, but need more. Croatia just tied it up!

10:29 am

Careful Kate!! EEK Scrabs.

My sister pulled two leeches off of my feet, but the one site is fine.

11:05 am

Got estimate to have front yard ripped out and decomposed granite installed - $2500. Not too bad.

11:05 am

11:05 am

11:06 am

nice that the company didn't take you for granite

11:06 am

HI ori and LeslieAnn :)

11:06 am

hello

11:06 am

Hi Kate

11:06 am

just the grass, ori ? or are you having the foundation plantings pullled too?

11:07 am

Just the biomass I euphemistically refer to as lawn

11:07 am

when she saw the estimate, she wenti in the house and got stoned?

11:07 am

lol

11:08 am

and followed it with quartz and quartz of wine...

11:08 am

:D

11:09 am

I think I shale slide back to FB for a minute - housekeeping there

11:09 am

what's that old joke.. why was there music at Beethoven's grave?

11:09 am

omg too funny

11:10 am

why?

11:10 am

why ru?

11:10 am

he was decomposing

11:10 am

That was already done at the place we bought - including foundation plants - because they had had a drainage problem that needed to be repaired. We left the rocks, but the first thing we did was plant some carpet juniper and a couple of shrubs next to the house. Eventially the juniper will cover the rocks and give us some green -- also will have a cooling effect in summer. The juniper doesn't need much water either which is a plus.

11:10 am

<<<GROAN>>> :D minipoof bbs

11:11 am

I hate juniper

11:11 am

I do have a brick planter up near the house that I planted with salvias. And I have some crepe myrtles and a Japanese maple.

11:13 am

that must have you salviating

11:13 am

The Japanese maple grew to twice the size it was supposed to be. Have to machete my way in and out of the car.

11:13 am

I don't like the shrub juniper -- it doesn't age well. This stuff is a blue-green colour. maximum height of 6" and a spread of 15'

11:13 am

Japanese maple is expensive, but very pretty.

11:13 am

I had to take out some juniper once and I will hates it forever (to quote Gollum)

11:14 am

:D The salvias are "hot lips" and bloom 10 months of the year.

11:14 am

*Waits while Ru searches for his precious

11:14 am

It is a very pretty tree, Molly. Nice view of it from my living room.

11:15 am

Salvia does gove a lovely splash of colour.

11:15 am

I still have battle scars from taking out shrubby juniper

11:16 am

Japanese maple is in my "dream landscaping" for after I hit the big lottery winning and buy a house by a lake. : D

11:16 am

Yup, me too

11:16 am

It was small when I bought it - $60

11:22 am

gosh - something that is cheaper in Canada! They are 4

11:23 am

Amazing that Japanese maple is that cheap in California. They are much more expensive here.

11:23 am

we're closer to Japan Molly :D

11:23 am

They are $20 - $50 for a 2gal. pot plant here.

11:23 am

Oh my, Nan's post got BIG

11:23 am

Sorry about the big gap there -- no idea what happened

11:25 am

Closer to Japan, why of course.

11:28 am

lol - but maybe you climate isn't suitable for maple propagation and they have to be shipped in from somewhere

11:28 am

good morning, 100 to go

11:29 am

We do have a lot of nursery production here

11:29 am

I love all kinds of maple trees.. all that color

11:29 am

nbt with the buffalo

11:31 am

you would love our neighbourhood ru -- every house has a huge maple in the front yard and their are 99 houses plus the club house in the community

11:31 am

*there are -- brain not working today

11:32 am

oh.. found the 8 finally

11:33 am

Legal document terminology. Most people don't see it too often.

11:34 am

Ru loves maples. See his flag.

11:34 am

yeah.. it's certainly not a word I would think to use

11:35 am

I'm going to have to ask Dr. G If I can post a Canadian and an AMerican flag in my profile :D

11:35 am

<-- adding to list of words to try and work into conversaton

11:36 am

(ori's friends will think she's a word freak and a nerd)

11:36 am

re 6/30, first one, pls

11:36 am

Face it Ru, you have defected. Just stick with the maple leaf. : P

11:36 am

I will in a few years :D

11:37 am

i wonder if i'll like bacon more up there

11:37 am

So you are moving up there permanently?

11:37 am

i think so.. yes

11:38 am

Oh, I doubt you will like what they call bacon. It is more like what we call ham here.

11:38 am

*Cues up "Oh Canada* for Ru

11:40 am

I think you spent any time in Canada, Molly, that you would find that we have side bacon as well as back bacon or pea meal bacon.

11:41 am

she was just joking me on my behalf nan.. not a comment on Canada

11:41 am

An order of bacon and eggs in a restaurant would get you side bacon - just as it does in the states

11:43 am

i think i need to list.. I'm getting nowhere

11:45 am

Good Morning Babbler friends, lurker friends :)

11:46 am

good morning helen

11:47 am

heya ori :) How's the grid?

11:48 am

re 6/30, first one, pls

11:48 am

just listing now bichon

11:49 am

I'm stuck

11:49 am

Yes Ru, making a joke. Oh well.

11:50 am

What's going on?

11:50 am

nothing Helen.. you can relax

11:51 am

toker

11:51 am

Sorry!

11:51 am

it's legal now ori.. it's fine :D

11:52 am

Origami has Steve Miller on her mind

11:52 am

:D

11:52 am

ko 5/18 please?

11:52 am

Ohhhh, did nan actually just have to take time out of her life to explain Canadian bacon? Impressive nan, I had no idea there was even such a thing as pea meal bacon.

11:52 am

re 6/30, first one, pls

11:54 am

pea meal bacon is what you call Canadian bacon

11:54 am

Nonetheless, Molly, seems you managed to insult yet another Babble. I warned you about being snarky. I don't care for it. It is clear to me now that MANY other people do not care for it either. You have literally chased dozens of Babblers off the lovely chat we used to have with your snide comments. YELLOW CARD ON MOLLY.

11:54 am

hello there babbleland... happy sunday!

11:54 am

Helen.. chill out.. she was making a joke to me.. and it had nothing to do with nan.. nan just responded

11:54 am

Good morning carlee :)

11:55 am

morning HK..

11:56 am

LOL.. CDN bacon... we call it peameal bacon..

11:56 am

No ruru - that's not how this is working anymore. Too many lovely people have been hurt by her offensive jokes. She's the one who needs to chill. Ya'll are welcome to have private side convos, if she can't play nicely with others.

11:57 am

No problem Helen -- I, like many Canadians, am feeling overly sensitive just now. It's hurtful knowing that the leader of your country has many of our neighbours believing that we are the root of all evil in the states --- especially after all the years our country has supported yours and helped hout whenever a hand was needed

11:58 am

Helen.. it was a joke.. and it wasn't offensive and you are trying to create a problem that doesn't exist

11:58 am

No, no, no ruru. The problem already exists. Has become the norm here. That is not okay anymore.

11:58 am

wait...PMJT is now the root of all evil in the states? ...

11:59 am

Hello Lovelies.

11:59 am

I'm with Helenkeller

11:59 am

So good to see all of you! ;)

11:59 am

Hi hego!

12:00 pm

let me repeat.. the chat was fine and there wasn't a problem

12:00 pm

Hi Ori!

12:00 pm

Thank you bichon.

12:00 pm

Clearly not ruru.

12:00 pm

Not for you Ru.

12:00 pm

Thank you hego.

12:01 pm

i give up.. you guys have your drama..

12:02 pm

Ru is playing the guy card.

12:02 pm

nan - I hear what you're saying, but don't understand it. Please don't take anything this president says seriously. I saw a video of him where he said the following words: "I broke the glass ceiling for women." This is the self-admitted pussy grabber saying this. The man is not of right mind.

12:03 pm

what does that mean the Guy card?

12:04 pm

Guys always say women are being dramatic when they get upset.

12:04 pm

there was a time, when jokes abou Canadians,,polite, eh, polar bears in our back yards... were funny. W made them ourselves, however the absolute lack of any knowledge by most ( not all, and for most here does not apply) of Canada, when the U..of A. is quit litrally jammed down our throats... and then for this nonsense that a gvernment that your peers voted into office is now accusing us of being a naional threat bc w manage our agricultural industry...that politeness has passed.

12:04 pm

Yes, ruru is trying to say this is a 'gal thing.' It is not. Men on this site have also been insulted by the same person. The understand how insensitive she is. I've watched the chat & know you are neither stupid, not blind.

12:04 pm

It's the damage he has caused to CA-USA relations that has me upset, helen. Now they are saying on the news that it is possible he will be reelected in 2020. He has the entire free world angry at him.

12:05 pm

Carlee, they were in no way my peers.

12:05 pm

This is certainly blown up. I am going to go paint something.

12:05 pm

( sorry for typos.. fat fingers on my phone)

12:05 pm

Enjoy Ori.

12:06 pm

Wait, what??? You make a snarky comment about "what we call bacon" and indicate that you don't think he'd like it. It in not like ham.. Canadian bacon, peameal bacon, back bacon are not ham. Bacon is bacon. If you wish to sniff and make superior comments, you might at least deign to ask a Canadian before you make pronouncement. I do not see that it was a joke at all given the lond history of sideways putdowns.

12:06 pm

oh come on you guys.;knock it off.

12:07 pm

Thank you TK

12:07 pm

Canadians are simply tired of being the butt of American jokes.

12:07 pm

No ruru, I told you already. The impoliteness on this site, caused by one individual, needs to end. The Babblers who agree on this are in the dozens.

12:08 pm

good explanation, car. I think there are a lot of Americans that are not aware of the huge lies Trump tells about Canada just to make himself look good. He even admitted that he lied and they still believe the lies he put forth.

12:09 pm

We're supposed to be an international game. Let's show some tolerance.

12:09 pm

he lies about most everything nan..

12:09 pm

my point exactly hego

12:09 pm

Frankly, I would move to Canada in heartbeat.

12:09 pm

nan - we know this & please believe me, the majority of American are very much more upset and afraid than your are. Those of us who are first generation of Holocaust & WWII camp survivors are especially afraid, because we clearly see the similarities to Hitler. You are free to join these sites on FB & see the discussion for yourself. Believe me, most of this country is terrified.

12:10 pm

I know Ruru.

12:10 pm

that's true - although I have to admit that Canada has not lived up to our nato agreement and I find that embarassing

12:10 pm

And Helen I've been playing this game since 2007 and I've never written F-off in the chat and FU... so please spare me the polite stuff

12:10 pm

LOL crleekat.. I really don't mind the jokes so much - we've been seeing them in sitcoms for years, because we are the only country that has as sense of humour and can poke fun at ourselves without a diplomatic incident arising from it. What is going on on the world stage is quite another matter though.

12:11 pm

ruru is correct - he lies about everything, he even lies about his lies. AND he walked in front of the Queen & she signed up and joined the ranks during WWII. She didn't have bone spurs.

We love you, Kate and Carlee. We'll even send back your geese as a gesture of good will. :P

12:11 pm

tired of sweeping generalizations... there is great diversity of the culture here, and any American who has spent any time travelling here beyond a border shop or a layover in Pearson Airport... y'all would know. How would Americans lie it if all Canadians assumed the Diliverance was the nor.

12:12 pm

Actually, the English are quite good at laughing at themseves. Probably better then anyone.

12:12 pm

LOL, hello TO and thank you for our geese ;)

12:12 pm

Who knew an international incident could be fermented by a bacon joke?

12:12 pm

carlee, it looks like it's becoming the norm. Scary.

De nada, Kate.

12:13 pm

That's where we get our deprecation from Hego, the UK... :D LONG LIVE British hunour!

12:13 pm

Ori lol

12:13 pm

Agree Kate!

12:13 pm

ruru - Yep, I wrote those words because she went WAY OVER THE LINE with me. Given the fallout, I am very glad I did. Good on you, she's never cut you. She cut me. I spoke out. Please go back to that day, July 4, 4:44pm and read the comments immediately following my FU remark. I believe the first one was "Standing ovation for hk." That ought to speak volumes to you.

12:15 pm

that is true TK however, sweeping generalizaions from not just ignorance but the lack of interest of even wanting to bother knowing... grows wearisome

12:15 pm

carlee... couple words: Talking to Anericans :D

12:16 pm

Very happy to be online at the moment, and be here to give Helenkeller a second standing ovation.

12:16 pm

Very happy to be online at the moment, and be here to give Helenkeller a second standing ovation.

12:16 pm

{{{{{((((SOODLES))))}}}} <3 <3 <3

12:17 pm

unbelievable.. really

12:17 pm

hey soods

12:17 pm

re 6/30, first one, pls

12:18 pm

Love ya Soodles! <3

12:20 pm

I've been to Canada a few times. Toronto was unbelievably clean. I had the best turkey in my life at a Chinese Canadian restaurant in the middle of nowhere, so moist, so fresh, so turkey-tasting. Canadians were incredibly polite, except for the French speakers in Montreal, who brought me to the verge of tears. Luckily, while my mother was risking her life every day during WWII, being a courier, she spent a great deal of time in France & French was one of her 6 languages. So between us, a great time was had on all 3 visits to Canada. I have nothing but admiration for Canadians. They produce the best hockey players.

12:20 pm

going back to the grid -- sorry my attempt to correct someone's misconception about Canadian food has come to all this

12:20 pm

Thank you {{{Soodle}}}.

12:21 pm

Oh, to live in a polite country

12:21 pm

Thanks Hk <3 ( Montreal is fine now for non french speakers.. Quebec citynot so much but Montreal is fine now )

12:21 pm

The courtesy, kindness and hospitality in Canada is an example to people everywhere.

12:21 pm

ruru - I politely suggest you become a believer. She has truly hurt a great number of players. Cowed people into removing themselves from the chat. The chat is what brings us together, it is not her personal domain any longer.

12:22 pm

lol helen - not sure when you were in Mtl, but the Party Quebecois people wander around with chips the size of logs on their shoulders -- it wasn't a slight to Americans - they treat all English speaking people that way!

12:22 pm

carlee - good to hear. The thing in Montreal happened, yikes, close to 40 years ago.

12:22 pm

The French will be French.

12:23 pm

Oh yes... that was a whole other era in Canadian English/ French politics...

12:23 pm

I agree with hego, Canada sets a great example.

12:23 pm

actually since your blow up Helen..she's been very polite and hasn't done anything. I'll say it again.. the chat was going along just fine without a problem until you tried to make a problem out of it

12:24 pm

nan - no need to be sorry. You're all good.

12:24 pm

I remember beinat at Banff around 1980. A French speaking ranger chewed out some English speaking folks. She claimed they thought her stupid

12:24 pm

I go to BC a lot and I never have a problem visiting there.. I'm always feeling welcomed there

12:25 pm

*wanders in politely* I am up to 45 words and down to 34% on my laptop battery. I read the chog that was scrollable. Having been a target of the person in question, ruru, although that's not the reason I don't play during the school year, it is the reason I lurk most of the time when I do play. I don't enjoy having to wonder if that individual will suddenly show up to make fun of me or anyone else.

12:25 pm

She has been ruru, however, it has been th habit in the past that slowly, incrementally, the behaviours drip back in, drip by drip until she is emboldened enough to start all over. HK was nipping that habit in the bud.

12:25 pm

ru, Molly has insulted me more than once.

12:26 pm

ah, but ru -- you bring wine, don't you? ;)

12:26 pm

I loved Banff the time we went, Calgary was a strange combo of cowto4 and polished city. And Victoria/Vancouver/SSI are my second home.

12:26 pm

Yes, he brings wine. lol

12:26 pm

ruru - What I've been told, again by very many Babblers (I myself used to be quite the chatter way back, I've known many Babblers for over a decade. We keep in touch.) is that this is a pattern. Someone calls her out, she lays low for a while, then starts up again. So, as I see it, the pattern continues again. But now, people will step up, we will not cease & desist. It would be lovely of you to believe us when we say WE HAVE BEEN HURT.

12:27 pm

Oh, and never an apology uttered once.

12:27 pm

I'm curious RuRuRocks- what exactly do you find u believable?

12:28 pm

Thank you stiddy :)

12:28 pm

i read the chat like you do soodle. I can tell what a joke is because 99.9% of the time i like to joke.. today's "Problem" was a joke and it takes nothing to set some people off on her.. everyone just calm down

12:29 pm

Maybe if we let it drop, it would calm down.

12:29 pm

it is not what is said a lot of the time, but the way that it is said --- today it came across as a criticism, not a joke

12:29 pm

closing door on subject now :)

12:30 pm

Thank you for clarifying nan.

12:30 pm

Good for you!

12:30 pm

If people feel offended, they have a right to feel offended. no one person has the right to tell another person not to be offended.. that is the height of priviledge.

12:30 pm

Has she ever done or said anything that YOU consider to be snide or nasty, ruru? Maybe your perception is way off? If lots of people agree on something, perhaps you are the one who is wrong? Just a thought.

12:31 pm

Other people joked. Crosshair, for example. He was absolutely targeted by Molly. All guns blazing. It was uncomfortable & unpleasant to read.

12:31 pm

Thank you Haz!

12:31 pm

I am perfectly calm. I am perfectly calm when I march in protest carrying a sign.

12:31 pm

I have been square in the sights of Milly for more than 10 years.. almost all my time on Babble. If HK hadn't sid something I would have. I am standing here saying that I won't allow here to agian control this chog. Today's comment was yet another passive-aggerssive snark which Mollly is honed to a fine art.. and as always it is framed in such a way that she can retreatinto the plasintive cry that it was only a joke if she is called on it. I have been watching this for a decasde It is not my imagination, and I am not over-sensitive.

12:31 pm

Soodle, didn't you find it believable when I sent you the makings for S'Mores? Or when I sent a sympathy card when your Uncle died?

12:31 pm

Haz! Good observation! I've missed you!

12:32 pm

Well Hellllooooo {{{Haz}}} Long time, no see! Perfectly stated.

12:32 pm

actually yes Haz.. and I wrote to her about it and told her that it wasn't ok and we sorted it out

12:33 pm

That's okay as far as it goes, ruru, but in chat it comes across that she can do no wrong in your eyes and you defend her to the hilt.

12:33 pm

And I have seen Molly apologize more than once

12:33 pm

That's what has been frustrating for so many.

12:33 pm

I truly appreciated those gestures, Molly - more than I can articulate. However, your behaviour here in the chat is unacceptable.

12:33 pm

helen, I agree with all those who have been hurt and ridiculed by person in question and I do not chat because of being put down and just lurk. I give you yet another standing o for speaking the truth of the matter.

12:33 pm

An apology is empty if the offending action is not changed.

12:34 pm

And would you comment on her recent icons? Mr Passive Aggressive, Nut jobs etc

12:34 pm

Ruru, yes she apologizes when she is called on her behaviour. However, the behaviour never ever changes. in a few days, or a coupe weeks, hints of it erupt again.

12:34 pm

so Molly makes sure to play on Soodle's heart strings and tell us all what a loely caring person she is PFFFFFFFT recognise that one Milly?

12:35 pm

My view is that she LOVES confrontations - loves to stir reactions.

12:35 pm

OMG NANCY!!!! First, you are indeed the biggest blast from the past to date, great to see you. Secondly, thank you for your support on this issue. We heart you.

12:35 pm

Agreed, Haz. Designed to inflame tensions.

12:35 pm

re 5/18 please?

12:35 pm

she's never once apologised to me...

12:36 pm

ate again, nan

12:36 pm

Haz that is why my reaction to such people is just to shut them down and not react. Like they don't exist.

12:36 pm

I have steadfastly stayed away as much as possible from chat for years. My mantra, was 'nothing to do with me'. Sorry for the cowardice...

12:36 pm

She hasn't apologized to me either.

12:36 pm

Welcome back Haz!

12:36 pm

ty bee

12:37 pm

those may or may not have anything to do with Babble haz.. sometimes she puts icons there for other reasons

12:37 pm

Try my method. Haz, it works very well.

12:37 pm

{{((HAZ))}} Hello, it is so wonderful to see you in the chat.. your clues are missed.. as is your chat. I hope you will chat more and lurk less <3

12:37 pm

No Haz, your response is perfectly understandable. In now way were you a coward, you were injured - big difference.

12:38 pm

Haz, Nancy, feather, nan, et al... ***many hugs and choclits*** have to go plug this computer in. Sorry I have to leave just when all of us oldtimers are finally all together. *poof*

12:38 pm

Avoiding pain is a macanism for survival.

12:38 pm

chocklit, yum!

12:38 pm

Oh Pu-lease, RuRu. Molly's recent icons have been inflammatory, to say the least.

12:38 pm

choclit all around!!

12:38 pm

i've often left chat when it's been uncomfortable over the last few years.

12:39 pm

hmmmmm yummm choclits!!!!

12:39 pm

I just never bothered to play at all.

12:39 pm

{{{(((Stiddie)))}}} TY for the CHOCLITS!!! HOpefully, you can come later to finish the grid!

12:39 pm

re 6/30, first one, pls

12:39 pm

Poor bichon, someone will listen to you soon.

12:40 pm

re 6/30: colourful fish?

12:40 pm

colourful fish appendage bichon

12:40 pm

color and a fish part Bichon

12:40 pm

yep, i stopped playing for a long time. a lot due to time constraints, but also partly due to a loss of the old vibe of the chog. the people i hung out with were no longer around.

12:40 pm

oh..there is a grid today?

12:40 pm

a colourful fish part at any rate

12:40 pm

think tuna, but different colour

12:40 pm

lol Carlee

12:40 pm

same Feather...

12:41 pm

Me too

12:41 pm

One by one we get driven away feather... or went underground and lurked rahter than deal with a Chinese water torture in the chog... :(

12:41 pm

Right, I'm hiding out here. Everything everywhere is suddenly blue, white and red.

12:41 pm

hego - yes, that's one way to avoid pain. Some of us, me, I am oversensitive and feel pain more than others. Due to TG-PTSD. I was raised by warriors, who were unable at times to avoid great pain, and at other times both inflicted great pain, actually killed a great many horrible individuals. I am not sitting by anymore.

12:41 pm

Hello to Haz, Stid. Crossy. All the babblers who used to chat and have a good time daily. I know I am among many who were driven away from chat...such a shame. Time to take our

12:42 pm

Poor Buggie! HELLO!

12:42 pm

Hello Nancy, nice to see you.

12:42 pm

** eating yet another kale salad... keeping cool in the basement watching gilmore gir;s 00 detoxing from the trump train-- and now chatting **

12:42 pm

ty for the re 6/30

12:42 pm

i'm working on my first pass through the list. taking advantage of my silent house.

12:42 pm

Hello all. There's still tons of noise outside...

12:42 pm

Hey Buggie!

12:42 pm

I s Crossy here too?

12:43 pm

heya Buggie!

12:43 pm

what's going on outside buggie?

12:43 pm

I don't htink you will get much sleep tonight Buggie!

12:43 pm

No, Kate, I wish he would come back.

12:44 pm

he has been back hego.. he may be at work

12:44 pm

We won the football world cup, featherbee

12:44 pm

Congratulations!!!!

12:44 pm

Well YAY!!!!!!! I'm kinda oblivious to it, sorry about that!!! Congrats!

12:45 pm

Wasn't any of my doing ;)

12:45 pm

Bonjour. l missed the drama again; I; for one think Molly is the smartestperson in here and actually writes in rezl English, no baby-talk or black vernacular.

12:45 pm

Hi Haz, have really missed your humor and participation in the chat. Hope everything is good for you.

12:45 pm

"No biggie, we just won the World Cup..." ;)

12:45 pm

Allez France

12:46 pm

Yes, thanks, Nancy, life can't be bad when the sun shines!

12:46 pm

That's funny, l had company & couldn't Watch the match butt when l herd all the horn blowing, l knew the outcome./

12:46 pm

(((( Ruby)))

12:46 pm

Buggie - LOL, what fbee said, I'm with her. Most of us Americans are oblivious to any other football but ours, although it's been getting more popular over the years. Congrats!!!!

12:46 pm

Hi Ruby dear.

12:47 pm

Congrats Buggie!

12:47 pm

ruby, lots of us are capable of writing real English. You like Molly because Molly is kind to you. She hasn't been kind to lots of people.

12:47 pm

thanks, even though I really had nothing to do with it ;)

12:47 pm

Black vernacular??? What???

12:47 pm

L don't know Heln, but all I know is that everything as fine here until she reappeared!

12:47 pm

Heya ruby!

12:47 pm

well said Haz

12:47 pm

"soul sista" for rxample

12:48 pm

Ruby doesn't like the way sprite and grannyrose speak to each other, that's the simplest explanation for the black vernacular comment.

12:48 pm

L think it'ss disrespectful to black people

12:49 pm

well, anyone who does not absolutely love sprite has seriously personal issues in my book. People don't get any lovelier than sprite :)

12:49 pm

No, you just don't like them and you find any excuse to criticise them. Be honest.

12:49 pm

Sprite is a love.

12:49 pm

Helen, l think you need to be on serious meds or need thicker glasses

12:50 pm

can imagine the noise Buggie -- we were in Paris once when some big game was won -- we were walking back to our hotel from a lovely dinner at a left bank restaurant when all of a sudden a horde of people and impromptu bands came pouring out of the surrounding bars -- all traffic came to a halt and horns were blaring.

12:50 pm

ruby - yah do know that many white folk in the South, they got this there thing called a Southern accent, and all ya'll would likely have a hard time understand them. That kinda talk is not limited to black people.

12:51 pm

They've both been to France to visit and l think that very oftn they monopolize what used to be a pleasant chat andprovide too much information about their sex lives and bodily functions

12:51 pm

haz.. GrannyRose recently visited and stayed with Ruby.. how can you say that

12:51 pm

Thankfully I live on the outskirts of town, so the noise is pretty far away. But the other evening, when France won the previous match, I had to walk through town after work. I ended up making a serious detour to avoid most of the crowds

12:52 pm

Well, ruru, sprite also visited ruby years ago when her husband was still alive. She loved her before then, but refused to allow sprite to revisit when rose and her husband were in France as well. She has just gone off both of them (this is my observation) and often criticises them and their chats once they leave chat.

12:52 pm

That's nonsense about the language! l've lived all over the US and anybody past 8th grade doesn't speak tht way. And those two artren't even <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<american!

12:52 pm

Okay, ruby, I will let that pass - this one time, as I could have worded my comment re: feelings toward sprite better. Just absolutely shocked anyone, anywhere would ever have a negative thing to say about sprite. I was just floored. We're even. No more name calling.

12:53 pm

yes hego - sprite IS a love

12:53 pm

OK, truce, Helen.

12:53 pm

I'm just kind of shocked about the black vernacular comment myself. Still not sure what to say about that.

12:54 pm

Look I get it. Sometimes people just annoy you - I remember feeling annoyed at the way my flatmate breathed, but to be so down on people and bring it into the public (in chat) is uncomfortable reading.

12:55 pm

Featherbee: where in upstate NY? l taught elem school in Binghamto,n

12:55 pm

it is a bit over the top some nights haz.. really.. if you read it

12:55 pm

i'm right in the b'ton area

12:56 pm

THEY brng it into the chat!

12:56 pm

I do read it and it's not my style either. My feeling is that ruby needs to talk/e-mail directly with them rather than sniping afterwards.

12:56 pm

My 1st husband taught at SUNY

12:57 pm

if I saw it, I would say something. I have not. My fault, as i have not been here. SHould I see it, I will say something.

12:57 pm

Hae, l have written to each of them separately to discuss what is approprizte

12:57 pm

Okay, I'm glad to hear it, ruby.

12:57 pm

Ya'll are talking apples and oranges: What people say to each other, in conversation is one thing. What one person says ABOUT other, mostly after they are gone is another. The latter is the problem. The previous are personal choices that we've always respected and never criticized.

12:57 pm

l wouldn't do that

12:58 pm

i certainly am guilty of making sick jokes and make jokes that are edgier.. but i try to keep it within bounds and limited to almost adult humor..

12:59 pm

You'" wrong, helen, they've both been chide directly 'TMO" after discussions of their sex lives -- l think that's pretty direct

12:59 pm

<-----loves ruru's jokes (especasilly the off-colour ones :D

12:59 pm

<thinks ru is very funny

12:59 pm

ruru - your jokes are stand alone jokes, and yes, mostly every clever. Your jokes are not direct insults to other players. That's the difference.

12:59 pm

agree

12:59 pm

but l don't think or type fast enough to keep up with his puns

1:00 pm

( has alway laughed at ruru's jokes)

1:00 pm

Jokes good!

1:00 pm

Sniping, not good.

1:00 pm

very cool ruby re: SUNY B. I'm a bit distracted right now, sorry.

Exactly - what hego said.

1:00 pm

hego has been hanging out with Tarzan

1:00 pm

helen's stirring up trouble -- not good!!!

LOL - no, it's not hk that's stirring up trouble, it's another player.

1:01 pm

(wonders if Hego has a loin clothe for mr. Hego) :D

1:01 pm

Let's hear it for Tarzan!

1:01 pm

ok... I have some odds and sods to take care of. Everyone, have a great afternoon, evening,where ever on the globe you happen to be!

ruby - horrible attempt at misdirection - not gonna work.

1:01 pm

*!*~*!* -- hagd everyone -- play nice :)

1:01 pm

l went through some very bad times and found comfort in the chat in my isolation here

WTG nan!!!! Have a great day.

1:02 pm

Now Billy in a loin cloth, that's funny!

1:02 pm

Congratulations nan!!!!!

1:02 pm

way to bring home the bacon Nan :D

1:02 pm

No, ruby, the stirrer in chief is not hk. You just have been unaware of what has been going on for years. Molly has been kind to you, she is kind to some babblers but not to others. It's the others who are revolting.

1:02 pm

lol Ru!

1:02 pm

*~*~*POMPOM toss *~*~* for Nan

1:03 pm

Now, l'm a widow with late-stage cancer and l need all the kindness l ca, get!

1:03 pm

LOL, poor revolting Babblers ;)

Scroll back ruby, and you will see how this has been going done. People are literally coming out of the woodwork to support what I said.

1:03 pm

and you shall have it ruby <3

just popped in to finish. hello, haz,

1:03 pm

((((HUGS Ruby))))

1:03 pm

Absolutely, ruby, you may find that other babblers can be kind as well.

1:03 pm

Hello, TO!

1:03 pm

your tales from the garden are especially nice to read

1:04 pm

((( ruby ))) absolutely.

1:04 pm

No bacon in France and the pork isn't very good either.

1:04 pm

Thank you, Kate

ruby - all the kindness in the world is here for you.

how are you? i toured eastern state penitentiary yesterday and participated in their Bastille Day celebration. Let them eat TASTYKAKE!

1:05 pm

HI TO :) ruby - that's a very sad thing to hear - about your lack of bacon :(

1:05 pm

hat time was the contre-temps?

heya TO - did not see you sneak in :)

1:05 pm

ruby, you might want to check online, there are plenty of companies importing from Britain. It's quite easy now to get bacon and proper tea around here

the carbaret was so fuuny. Mark ZZuckerberg and Marie Antoinette appearing together.

1:06 pm

The food here ismuch less good than its reputation

1:06 pm

I'm fine, TO. How did a script manage to get those two together?

mark in his harvard t shirt singing s parody of i

1:06 pm

REAL bacon? Sign me up, give me a name pease

1:07 pm

didn't you say there was a nice little restaurant or cafe that you liked in your town ruby?

1:07 pm

that's unfair ruby. It's just developped for a different palette. There are plenty of french foods I couldn't stand the taste of when I first moved over, and over time I've learnt to enjoy them

hilarious. mark singing a parody of the police "every breath yo utake".. every post you make, i'll be watching you...

1:08 pm

Not any more, it changed management, but l have a friend helping with dinners now

1:08 pm

And Marie Antoinette?

and maire on th eroof of the pen drinking heavily.

and of course, her famous pronnouncement and throwing thousands of tastykakes from the parapet.

1:08 pm

Okay, lets be done with all this. I apologize to all who need apologies. Sincerely. I'm sorry my comments or difference of opinion made anyone feel bad. I will stay out of chat and my icons will be weather or holidays. Carry on.

1:08 pm

Buggie, l think it's just this region where they put cheese on everything.

the penn itself is very interesting and foreboding.

they skewkered everyone and everthing of current interest.

1:09 pm

you can get bacon from britishcornershop.co.uk. I haven't tried any of the chilled stuff, we tend to use mouse2house delevery service for that

1:09 pm

((Molly))

1:10 pm

Molly, promise?

if one more person mentions bacon I will be forced to run to the marktet for some... STOP IT!!!

1:10 pm

Was it a professional company, TO?

1:10 pm

Did you like the ballon Trump in England -- in a diaper, no less?

1:11 pm

Bye and Love to All!

1:11 pm

Thanks, Buggie, l've written it down.

1:11 pm

Bye, hego.

1:11 pm

was really cool ruby

1:11 pm

Bye Hego

yes, it's called bearded laides cabaret. mostly men in frag.

1:12 pm

Take care Hego

1:12 pm

ok.. toodles all.. *poof*

1:12 pm

Bearded ladies a reference to 'Greatest Showman' or not?

1:12 pm

re 5/18, first one, pls

bye hego, carlee

I'm outta here also.

1:13 pm

re5/18 - gave a meal to again

1:14 pm

I thought the food was better in your region, too.

1:15 pm

They've forgotten how to use spices here

haz, idk

and if yo bought two beers, you got a beret. and a t shirt!

1:16 pm

Sounds like a bargain!

i loved the 6 ft + dude with the blonde wig in aht epeasant costume. a spectator.

1:16 pm

Bye Hego and carlee :)

1:17 pm

Oh, didn't know about your restaurant changing hands ruby, that's too bad!

yes but we were too late. we did not beer until after the prison tour. since i had just seen shawshank redemption the night beofre, the escape tunnel was a highlight.

1:17 pm

I have favourites too and know how I'd feel if they were "different"

1:18 pm

I found the film to be horribly violent but did enjoy the opera bit.

yes it was violent but authentic.

1:20 pm

Hate that I can't seem to update my profile photo...

6:49 pm

kje - Not so much .. It happens in the more remote and rural areas

6:50 pm

it has worked for me pam, but the workflow is awkward and takes several refreshes

6:51 pm

I have refreshed a few times, and logged in and out, dan! I think I can do without the yahrtzeit/memorial candles now!

6:51 pm

6:52 pm

hey stid!

7:12 pm

hey magmom!

congrats to dan and dose!

7:12 pm

pam, I see a tall ship in your icon... is that what you want?

7:14 pm

... is it the "American Eagle" or the "Christian Radich"?

7:15 pm

This grid seems tricker than yesterday's -- not just bigger, there are so many E tiles!

7:16 pm

... e's aren't hard ... two of them are blanked ... good luck with the r's though

I just said to hubby what this grid needed was another "E". LOL

7:17 pm

.. oops ... three of them are blanked

7:17 pm

LOL I guess we all have our strengths. Clearly vowels are not one of mine!

7:18 pm

I got the 8 by myself though, so that was nice. *proud mama look*

go stid!

7:20 pm

... ah well ... must be off to the lesser things that I left undone all weekend ... ... luck to all who continue the struggle ... and until tomorrow ... good night and good luck

7:21 pm

Have a good evening, dose. Hope the week will go smoothly for you!

7:22 pm

Hi stimama

7:23 pm

anyone have a clue for de7,32?

7:23 pm

hey Jen! How's the weather for you? We left my grandfather's town on Friday (it was over a hundred there) -- glad to get home where it only rarely tops 90.... and today it topped 100 at our house! *melted mama look*

7:24 pm

HOT

7:24 pm

We are supposed to getting rain sometime soon.....

7:24 pm

looking for that one Jen (I have a de 7/44 if you need it)

7:25 pm

No, I have that one

Jen- how hot is it up your way? We got up to 98 today, but supposed to be up to 107 on Thurs.

7:26 pm

AH! looks like the french posterior word, only means thread count.

we did just get some lovely storms.

7:27 pm

or something like that... it's an alternative cuss word to start, and a "more so" type ending

7:27 pm

and there is an fe 7/40 with same spelling (just found it!)

7:27 pm

We have been up that far with indices in the 100s, but 90s all week.

7:28 pm

That's just too hot, my friends! Time to open the babble pool, methinks! Iced MJCLs on standby. :-D

Yes, index today waas 107. My perspiration had perspiration

7:28 pm

I need more information, not clear on your clue

7:29 pm

okay, DE + abbreviation for a highly skilled nurse + "more so" three letters

7:29 pm

the fe is a plant + more so (three letters)

fe7 is the plant, but more of it.

7:30 pm

got it, thanks stid

7:31 pm

I should be penalized 100 points just for the fishies I have missed! *sigh* melted brains are not conducive to thoughtful wordcraft.

7:31 pm

I still see only one af5 and my icon won't change. What a babble conundrum. :) .

7:32 pm

there's an AF 5??? *dashes off to look*

7:32 pm

And hi stid and everyone else I missed during my re-boot.

7:32 pm

AHA! thanks pam!

7:33 pm

Stid, I think there are 2? Unless I read chog incorrectly. And let's face it, reading chog is not always easy, LOL!

7:34 pm

true enough -- I only read the archives when I must... not sure if today will qualify

7:35 pm

Usually, I don't care about the clues, etc. I rarely, rarely finish. I like just poking around. But something about af words....

7:37 pm

Hm. I'll keep looking...

7:38 pm

yep. found one. Do you want a clue?

7:38 pm

it's from the A in the bottom row.

7:40 pm

Well, I got more than half the words and getting bored. See you all soon.

7:41 pm

well done, Jen! Have a lovely evening.

7:41 pm

Thanks, stidmama!

7:41 pm

I want one more word, then I will have NBT, NBS, and 100 words which is pretty good, listless.

7:42 pm

and just got it. LOL I'll be back and forth for a while. My laptop is still at 90% so I have a bit of time to hang out.

7:53 pm

Hi, stid--I have that one; is there only one af5?

7:54 pm

AF 5 x 2

7:55 pm

I have the af+ plus the fabric dye. Can someone clue the other? And thanks, wvteach!

7:55 pm

The other one is A + when something burns

7:56 pm

Oh, thanks! I should have seen that one!

7:56 pm

8:08 pm

old home days dorens, we all came back

8:08 pm

I decided to come out of lurk periodically doresn :) <3. Seemed that chog was filled with people too intimidated to simple chat and laugh, and I thought "gee, that needs to be changed. "

8:08 pm

Hi! I think it's Old Home Week! ;-)

8:09 pm

Interesting. Something in the air?

8:09 pm

Now, if only my farookin' icon would change. Grrrrrr....

8:09 pm

Well for me it's two things... summer vacation and I knew some of my friends would be in this weekend, so made extra effort to find time. :-)

having a lazy day today

8:09 pm

Nice to see. I don't consider it lurking if we don't chat. Just wasn't enjoying the chat.

8:09 pm

it's a flower when i click on it pam

8:09 pm

How's teaching been stid? Still enjoying it?

8:10 pm

Good morning!

8:10 pm

Hi, MRP!

It is SO frustrating. I just can't get it to change--Nef; I have tried both.

8:11 pm

Hi map!

8:11 pm

I love teaching, doren -- most of the time. The awful testing that begins in third grade may convince me to do something else, but for now I am too stubborn to quit. LOL

8:11 pm

hello mrp!

8:11 pm

hmm, weird, won't refresh it when i refresh the page pam

8:11 pm

9:03 pm

9:03 pm

9:03 pm

it hurts...

9:03 pm

Hi all. I should be zzzing really as it's just after 3am here, but I'm too hot and I still have 25 words to find... and I hate not finished a grid.

kate- have you iced it?

9:03 pm

Sorry to hear about your shoulder, Kate. Hope it feels better soon. x

9:03 pm

hi jac

9:04 pm

didn't know which Ds for sure. someone will want them

hey jac

Oh fbee - I didn't like how HP just kept getting darker & darker. The first is my favorite.

Jacs!!! Heya!!

9:04 pm

too early for ice. shouls be heat, not today tho

9:04 pm

i haven't actually ever watched it...just got sucked in to the last 45 minutes of it lol

9:04 pm

*Waves hi back to everyone.*

9:04 pm

i've seen the first one or two in their entirety

9:05 pm

just a strange knot.... it is loosening slowly. sure it will be fine

9:05 pm

Re Kate's shoulder injury - I found ice made my worse and heat helped more. I also got a portable TENS machine which helped enormously with the pain.

fbee - seriously with 2 boys? That's it. Maybe it's for the best, sadder things start to happen.

9:06 pm

i dislike TENS machines, they feel funny

9:06 pm

right jacula...

9:06 pm

Hey, Jac!

9:06 pm

oh, they've watched them all. repeatedly. that's how i just got sucked in tonight, they're watching it.

9:06 pm

Hi Pam.

9:06 pm

love j parks

9:06 pm

i'm letting them stay up late. seems mean to say "turn it off" at this particular moment!

Someone else please weigh in on the TENS machine, I've been debating getting one. fbee - did it at least work?

9:07 pm

i think it probably did, i just really disliked the feeling. had it when i had PT for my shoulder. i had them turn it to the lowest setting. i've not heard anyone else say they don't like it though, i'm in the minority i believe!

You're a good mom fbee.

9:08 pm

I love my TENS machine - there are lots of different settings and you can vary the intensity of each setting.

9:08 pm

i'm a sucker is what i am, lol!

9:09 pm

they've brushed teeth, gotten pj's on, and swear they'll go straight to bed

I remember I was in PT for something when they first came out. My therapist said, no, I didn't need one. I wasn't in pain, I was working on range of motion.

got my fireworks and now have to go deal wiht 18-year-old boy drama. niters all

9:10 pm

i had a calcification in my shoulder...working on range of motion as well, and breaking it apart

fbee - NO, not a sucker, a sweet, kind, thoughtful mom, who is flexible - very important

9:10 pm

congrats magazinemom

YAY for magmom!!!!!!

9:10 pm

You must never use a TEN machine over a bone - that causes swelling and discomfort. But the instructions do tell you where to place the pads for relief in varous places.

9:10 pm

Well done magmom. xx

9:11 pm

Yay, magnum!

9:11 pm

Magmom, that is.

9:11 pm

congratulations and niters magmom!!!

Tendon surgery on finger here.

pam - champagne anyone? :)

9:12 pm

*Can't type! I meant TEN*S machine and varIous places.*

9:12 pm

if you get a myscle stim zapper...pay the$ to go to proper pt fiest to see exactly where they place [pads 1-2 inches off can be detrimental

Jacs - Did you just try to fix 'varous' with 'varlous'? You're cracking me up! :)

9:13 pm

Kate - I did answer your PM, btw. But you can't get into FB to see it, can you?

9:13 pm

yay gwen!

9:13 pm

No, helen, it's a capital 'i'. lol

YAY Gwen !!!!!

9:13 pm

congratulations fwen!!!

fwank you kate1 LOL

9:14 pm

Well done Gwen.

Oh, okay, much better Jacs. LOL , stop typing stuff, I'm laughing so hard, I have tears in my eyes.

9:14 pm

24 words still to find. I'd better dive in and look seriously.

9:14 pm

i can get in, i am not allowedto like <3 etc for about 1`0 more hours. not in gfb tho....

LOL Gwen!!!

9:15 pm

lol gwen....

9:16 pm

I can't understand what you keep getting stamped on in there, Kate. I 'like' lots of posts but it's never happened to me. It happened once, years ago, when I shared lots of music links in quick succession.

9:17 pm

they are idiots....simple.

9:17 pm

*Damn! I meant 'why' you keep getting stamped on.* Dives into grid to find more words.

9:18 pm

voldemort is super creepy

9:18 pm

at least they told me my sin this time....didn't before. just couldn't reacy...

fbee - yes, yes he is and evil too.

i have a theory, facebok has a secret limit on "liking" or something like that, and you are topping out.

9:18 pm

and defeated in 3...2...1...

Gwen - really? I never heard that before, but makes perfect sense.

9:20 pm

excepte in the last 2 days less than usual time in fb....but agreed gwen... i think counter is brken for me. there have been a few others....but not as often as me

just a theory -- I mean if I spent as much timeon facebok as you to, Kate, I might end up in Like jail too 8 - )

9:20 pm

is he dead now?

9:20 pm

I could have sworn I'd already put kn4/8 in - you know that thing I frequently post about doing on FB.

9:21 pm

i think it is a fuzzy logic rolling average....

9:21 pm

haha jac...figures

Jacs, and what excellent work that is too :)

could be a rolling average. you could experiemtn with cutting down on your "liking" to let's say only 50 a day and see what happens LOL

(experiment)

clue anyone? otherwise imma zoom

9:26 pm

FIREWORKS! *~*~*~*~*~

9:26 pm

yay jac!!!

9:26 pm

Thank you, helen. Very kind of you to say so re the kn4/8ing.

9:27 pm

ok, movie's over, gotta shoo them off to bed. night all!

9:27 pm

I made a post with a large response recently, that didn't set off any alarms - and that was more than 500 comments.

YAY Jacs !!!!!!

Bye Gwen, thanks for the hearty laughs.

9:28 pm

50 a day wouldn't get me through an hour... Congratulations Jacule!!!!

9:28 pm

nioters feather!!!

9:28 pm

Kate - But that wasn't a political post, was it? If it's the one I'm thinking it is.

9:28 pm

Goodnight to those who are going. Sleep well.xx

9:29 pm

no not political, but a post is a post...if they are counting the number of likes I make.... sigh

Niters fbee :)

9:29 pm

I don't know how the minds at FB work, Kate.

9:29 pm

congrats and nioters gwen. ty for the giggles

9:30 pm

new ros u have not looked at yet

9:30 pm

I got my last 20+ words quickly because they were either oddly spelled versions of words or words I'm sure I'd already entered hours ago.

You went way faster than me Jacs. I had 29 when you had 20. Now I'm at 19.

9:32 pm

Just yell if you need any clues, helen.

Thank, I just may.

9:33 pm

I guess I'm going to have to change my FB banner of HM peeping out now, since 'he' has gone. It went down very well though! :)

9:36 pm

37 of the 38 people who 'liked' it also 'shared' it.

9:36 pm

i wantrd to share...poor friends, gave them a break.

9:36 pm

Oh, no, actually, some of the people who 'shared' it are different people.

9:41 pm

!

9:43 pm

Still FB friends, Kate, but not all of them had also clicked on 'like'. Actually, that annoys me slightly when people share without liking, but I guess they think I've guessed they like it because I can see that they've shared it. lol

9:45 pm

*Shouts to Helen down in the depths of the grid... 'YOU ALL RIGHT DOWN THERE? NEED ANY HELP?'*

firewords :)

9:45 pm

i try to credit when I share, and say ty...not always tho. it doesn't seem to be a common thing tho... new FB etiquette?

But thanks for asking Jacs :)

9:46 pm

congratulations hk!!!

I always post to poster that I am sharing. I limit myself to 'The Share of the Day.' Only the one, almost always political now. Unless I come across something super interesting like the 100+ radioactive dogs that live at Chernobyl. Vets & caretakers are there round the clock - very cool.

9:48 pm

Well done, Helen!

tx TK

9:48 pm

Hey, Helen, before I go to smoke a legal (but not in my building) joint w/ BF, I've read the whole chog drama, I want you to know that I'me behind you 100%-- I went into a long lurking period due to Mollysnark-- keep on fighting the good fight! The country sorely needs more people like you! ^5

tx Jacs

9:49 pm

<3 lib

9:49 pm

Thanks for speaking up libarel.

9:49 pm

hey, ty, jac!

I love you libs. Always have. Thank you, it takes a village.

9:50 pm

You are more than welcome helen-- luv U2!

9:50 pm

I see Haz was here earlier. That reminds me, I owe her a long overdue reply to her last letter.

Jealous libs has legal pot. But no, it's changed so much since I was young, way too strong now, not a mellow high. :)

Yes, it was great to see Haz!

9:51 pm

uh oh...jac is going tro write epistle now

9:52 pm

No, not going to write one right now, Kate. But I'll find Haz's last missive and reply to it this week. lol

9:52 pm

ty, Kate

9:53 pm

it's good to stand up and have ytour say. we are legion ;)

9:54 pm

Haz will love that jac!

9:55 pm

When I broke my knee in Sept. I was pescribed Oxycodone-- was horrible-- no sleep, constipation & even hallucinations! BF's sister got me some MJ gummies & they worked great! No pain + pleasant buzz-- also slept fine..

9:56 pm

there ya go! I am all for the stuff.. lots of evidence about lower doses and kinds of pain meds with [pot

9:56 pm

I am lucky that it's now legal here... (Massachusetts)

9:56 pm

It's going to be an expensive week for me since I have to order a new king-sized mattress before the miracoil springs come through ours and spear one of us AND I need to sort out a new gas fire (since our old was has been condemned by the gas authority). Don't want to leave either too long. But I'll continue to keep re-taping the arm onto my £600 rimless varifocals for now.

9:57 pm

glasses can'r be repaired jac?

9:58 pm

A woman got a court ruling and brought cannabis oil in through customs legally for the first time in UK last week. It's to help her son, who gets severe epileptic fits that impact upon the quality of his life.

9:58 pm

Helen, you're right about potency-- I always check to find out if cannabinoid (edgy), or Sativa (vert mellow)...

lins - so we have opposite reactions. I've not had oxycodone, I've had hydrocodone. Pretty much the same thing. Bone on bone arthritis in my hip - car vs. bike when I was 15, car won. Anyway, that there was a great buzz, I felt great, highly motivated, tons of energy, none of the terrible stuff you suffered with.

9:59 pm

goodc for her...and whomever okated ut

Dang Jacs, those are some expensive specs!!!

10:00 pm

I know this because I looked up purse money for Wimbledon now, and it was in pounds, so had to convert.

10:00 pm

Opticians won't repair specs anymore here, Kate. Nor put old lenses into new frames. The cost they add and that the factories add, makes it as expensive or sometimes more expensive than buying a completely new pair. Crazy, when we should all be doing our best to repair and recycle. But, as with every other item made not to last these days, profit is king and b*gger the future. :(

10:00 pm

Good evening to the group !

10:01 pm

Jumping into grid again with 47 to go

10:01 pm

Hi WA!

10:01 pm

Hi WA.

10:01 pm

Just wanted to say hi y’all : )

10:01 pm

Yes, Helen-- I've heard from people who really like Oxy and are glad it was for short term only-- said they could well have become addicted-- people' physical composition really varies...

10:02 pm

hi mamamwa. i don't thinkI can stay much lo9nger. finishing my dinner then I think sleep should b arrempted. wiped out here, but still hot and now sore.

10:03 pm

BBsoon-- off to hippie-car...

10:03 pm

libs - yes, has high addiction potential, they're working so hard to cut down the prescribing now, that even when it's called for, I can't get it. Had terrible busted ribs earlier this year, I got Tylenol 3. Please. Night & day.

10:03 pm

Niters libs, great chatting with you.

10:04 pm

niters lib!

10:04 pm

Jacs - I totally agree with everything you said about repairing & recycling. Greed is King/Queen/entire Court.

10:04 pm

I've heard that physical addiction can occur after only 3 days' use..

10:05 pm

libarebel - Co codamol is probably the equivalent in the UK and I was prescribed a high dose of that to take along with Paracetemol after a couple of operations. The constipation it caused was worse than the pain it was supposed to ease... and so I stopped taking it and put up with the post-op pain.

10:06 pm

'Nite, helen Kate, Jac et. al.

10:06 pm

if you have to take this stuff...eat a tbsp of oil...your choice with each dose. (greasy potato chips work too)

10:07 pm

I have had "oxys" only once in my life. They were prescribed to me when they opened up my ankle to remove a bunch of bone spurs. At the time I had never even heard of this family of drugs. they were, without a doubt, the strongest painkillers that I have ever had in my life in tablet form, and it was a good thing there were not many repeats on it!

10:07 pm

vrossy!!!

10:07 pm

before I split (hippiedom strikes when I go to smoke), Jac-- you are SO right about constipation psin being worse!

10:08 pm

((Kate))

10:08 pm

Hi Crossy!

10:08 pm

Howdy, jacula :)

10:08 pm

toner

10:08 pm

oops

10:09 pm

;)

10:09 pm

Kate - Since the first op was to remove my gall bladder (which then leaves your liver constantly streaming bile directly into your gut) eating ANYTHING oily of fried is a Very Bad Idea.

10:10 pm

fading.....think i must say bye before people thinki'mignoring

10:10 pm

ah

10:11 pm

Crossy - You're right about them being strong! My second course of them was two weeks after the gall bladder removal . The ones I was one messed with my head so much that I fell backwards down a flight of stairs and dislocated my collar bone. Then I needed more of the damned things.

10:12 pm

'Night Kate. I'd better be off soon, too.x

10:13 pm

soorry to love and leave crossy :( nters jacula + lurkerz

10:13 pm

Then the constipation set in and so I stopped taken them and got a TENS machine.

10:14 pm

I'd better go now, too. It's 4.14am here. Happy Babbling all. x

10:16 pm

hello 94 to go
