Look people. I think Enemy has a point, and perhaps its not a good thing to have a go at him/her. As I see it, you say no politics, but in fact the rules you are suggesting "exist" are in a way the same sort of thing. Obviously enemy has strong feelings about these sort of issues. I think I have the gist of it - I fell rather sad that someone would get so upset by what is usually a nice chat log.
1:23 am
jillibus

What rules? What point?
1:23 am

ang... enemy was rude yesterday and is the same today... whatever

5:18 am
kthdsn

my husband didn't come home from work last night and I don't know where he is
5:18 am
FranMag

has he done that before?
5:19 am
kthdsn

he doesn't have a cell phone, the phone at the pub he works in was cut off and I can't find numbers for any of his friends
5:19 am
kthdsn

no fran it's not like him at all
5:19 am
sprite

Argh! That is not nice. Did you have a fight? Or is he missing without any reason?
5:19 am
lynxxx

oh kate - he probably just had too much to drink and is sleeping it off somewhere.
5:19 am
kthdsn

he's not at the police station or the hospital, I can't think why he would stay out without calling
5:20 am
kthdsn

I've had 3 hours sleep and I'm in a bit of a panic
5:20 am
Ankhorite

*trots in to hold Kth's hand*
5:20 am
kthdsn

ty ank
5:20 am
Ankhorite

Surely, if it were an accident, the police would have called by now. So I'm with Lynxx, perhaps he is sleeping it off.
5:21 am
sprite

That's not something we can cheer away for you... I pray for you all is well. You keep talking to us for as long as you like, to keep a hold on the panic.
5:21 am
FranMag

i'm with lynxxx, he's probably at a friend's house
5:21 am
Ankhorite

Kth, are we tying up your phone line?
5:21 am
kthdsn

I guess so, it's just out of character for him and it's so easy to worry
5:21 am
Ankhorite

And I'm lost, what time is it where you are?
5:21 am
kthdsn

no ank, broadband
5:22 am
kthdsn

it's 11am
5:22 am
kthdsn

he works in a pub, usually home by 3am at the very latest
5:22 am
Ankhorite

Well then... the pub's cleaning crew might be in by now?
5:22 am
FranMag

does he drive or walk home?
5:23 am
kthdsn

I don't think they have a cleaning crew, he walks home we don't have a car
5:23 am
Ankhorite

*keeps patting Kth's hand*
5:23 am
sprite

any friend living near the pub who can go take a look for you?
5:23 am
Ankhorite

And with your three girls, you can't go look. Hmm. Is the pub near a shop; if so, could you ask them to look in?
5:24 am
FranMag

how far is the pub?
5:24 am
lynxxx

He may even be doing another shift at the pub Kate. He'll turn up or contact you soon I am sure.
5:24 am
kthdsn

it's not far away but I don't want to leave the house in case he comes back and I've locked him out
5:25 am
Ankhorite

Lock him out! Leave a note on the front door, telling him you & the girls have run to the pub and will be right back.
5:26 am
Ankhorite

Perhaps a neighbor would stay by your phone for you?
5:26 am
kthdsn

I'd rather stay here with nice company to be honest, I'm probably just being silly
5:26 am
kthdsn

we don't have any nice neighbours lol
5:26 am
sprite

I can understand your worry if he always lets you know if he is going to be late. Perhaps he thought you'd be asleep by now and did not want to wake you?
5:26 am
Ankhorite

*pat-pat, pat-pat*
5:27 am
kthdsn

probably sprite, thanks for being here everyone
5:28 am
kthdsn

I'm going to look for some words, take my mind of worrying, he's a late sleeper so if he is at someone's house sleeping it off he won't have woken up yet
5:29 am
Ankhorite

*pat-pats some more and starts to snore a bit herself*
5:29 am
sprite

*yells in a kind but very sharp voice: "Wake up, you dork, your wife is worried!*
5:30 am

5:30 am

I managed a smile :)
5:30 am
sprite

well done :)
5:30 am
Ankhorite

*is not herself roused by Sprite's stern tone; schlumps over and begins to snore more loudly*
5:31 am
sprite

Ah well, can't work for everyone... but let me see... you don't HAVE a wife, now have you, Ankh? You probably did not feel spoken to :)
5:32 am
lynxxx

schlump? that word would fit nicely with the other weird words in this grid

mattygroves

Hey Kate - thinking of you. Where are you based - anything I can do to help?
8:08 am
Anniebrook

I am assuming that there is no way you can reach him (cell phone). Perhaps he is with a friend, is there anyone you can call to help you?
8:08 am
kthdsn

thanks matty I don't think there's anything you can do, it's nice to know you all care though
8:09 am
kthdsn

I have the number of the woman who gave him a list to work but she's not answering, and I have no other way of contacting him or anyone he knows
8:09 am
ExWren

What about his family, have you contacted them?
8:09 am
mattygroves

Or his boss?
8:10 am
kthdsn

no I wouldn't want to worry his family they live far away and don't travel, his boss has no phone it was cut off
8:10 am
Wolvie

wow. bad deal, kth
8:10 am
sunny09

any of his friends?
8:11 am
kthdsn

I don't have any numbers or addresses for them sunny
8:11 am
sunny09

would someone have called you if he didn't show for work
8:11 am
kthdsn

yeah
8:11 am
mattygroves

I'd phone his family, Kate, really - you must be frantic, and maybe he's contacted him. What about the police?
8:12 am
kthdsn

I'm assuming he must be alright because people he works with all have our number so they would have called
8:12 am
kthdsn

I tried the police and the hospital he's not at either
8:12 am
majmom

has he ever done this to you before
8:12 am
Anniebrook

keep trying the woman who gave him the work list...I cant imagine how you feel...
8:12 am
kthdsn

no it's very out of character
8:12 am
Anniebrook

how late is he?
8:13 am
kthdsn

did I say list, I meant lift
8:13 am
mattygroves

Really - phone his family. If he's contacted them, you'll know something, and if not, they may have ideas of who to contact.
8:13 am
majmom

oh lord you must be frantic-how long since he should have been home?
8:13 am
kthdsn

12 hours now, he wouldn't have called his family without calling me, I don't want to worry them they are old and frail
8:14 am
Wolvie

12 hours? holy cow. you must be sick with worry. Wish I could help you kt
8:14 am
mattygroves

How are your kids? Are they aware?
8:14 am
Alien

I read back thru the blogs, I am sorry to hear about your husband being late home Kthdsn. Do you think he could still be at work, getting extra hours in?
8:14 am
Anniebrook

kth, that is a long time, call the hospitals and the police again. wish I was there with you
8:15 am
kthdsn

they're 6, 4 and 2, my eldest knows something is wrong but the other two think he's still at work
8:16 am
pam

is there someone you know near the bar that you can ask to go take a peek?
8:16 am
mattygroves

What does your husband do?
8:16 am
kthdsn

he's a barman
8:16 am
kthdsn

he should have been home around 2/3am
8:16 am
mattygroves

Where are you based - are you in/near London?
8:17 am
kthdsn

yorkshire
8:17 am
majmom

are you far from the work place-go for a walk and take the kids and check it out
8:17 am
kthdsn

I don't want to miss him if he calls, I daren't leave the phone
8:18 am
Anniebrook

is the bar open yet? call and speak to his boss or one of the workers and find out if something happened at the bar
8:18 am
Wolvie

wow, kth - I'll bbl to check on you - must be off for awhile
8:18 am
Mom

TIme to scoot off and get busy.
Kate, take care and I will be thinking of you and your children.
8:18 am
majmom

how about neighbors ask one to come over to man phone-and walk or cab to the bar
8:18 am
ch1212

kthdsn, you might try calling one of the businesses near the bar and ask them to pop their head in to see if someone there remembers seeing him leave, or if he's still there.
8:19 am
LuwandaHL

would the police would drive by the bar and check for you?
8:19 am
ch1212

Kth, it's obvious we are all feeling concerned with you, and hoping your husband will show up with a simple explanation.
8:20 am
pam

I would think that luwanda's suggestion makes sense, surely the police could do that???
8:21 am
kthdsn

I don't know, I feel like if I call the police again I have to admit that something hideous might have happened and I don't want to think that...
8:21 am
Alien

Kth, you need to contact the police again. Did you leave them your number in case they heard anything?
8:22 am
kthdsn

no I didn't
8:22 am
Anniebrook

kth, if something hideous happened, it is 12 hours, someone would have called the police by now....call the hospitals again
8:22 am
LuwandaHL

if something is worng they might be able to help or start looking where you are unable at home
8:23 am
kthdsn

ok, I'll make some calls, brb
8:23 am
LuwandaHL

hty will also be able to tell you in notheing is wrong
8:23 am
mattygroves

Really, Kate - call the police and leave them your number, call his family and see if he's contacted them, and get a friend to swing by the bar. At least then you're actively doing something. The not knowing must be horrible!
8:24 am
majmom

dont you have a friend who could help out by watching the kids and you could check the bar yourself
8:24 am
Sherylr1961

hello all justing reading back in the log and kthdsn, matty is right call the police and the rest of her suggestions
8:25 am
Sherylr1961

when you call the police ask them to checkthe bar you are talking about

7:03 pm

7:03 pm
Enomis65

any clue for the sh 7?
7:03 pm
garyandjulie

saying that my husband can't do it smooth. he has taken drugs, chewed gum, worn patches and no joy for him
7:03 pm

Smooth, I have to say it rates high amongst the best things I ever did.
7:04 pm
helenkeller

jacula - what is the dreaded lurgey? that's what bus calls a hangover cause his dad used to say it
7:04 pm
Jacula

We seem to be smoking again now though.:( Allan Carr's book is very good - gives you good reasons to stop and stay stopped. I did try hypnotism but that made me smoke more!:(
7:04 pm
smooth_pappa

ahhhhh... I was almost killed in an accident a few years ago, but that made it even harder... at that time (and I know its dumb) I felt like since life could end at any minute, why stop something that will kill me decades from now
7:04 pm
jillibus

smoooth -- I quit in 1989 after about 47 years of smoking, and I'm glad!
7:04 pm
smooth_pappa

My dad was a doctor... I know all the reasons, and have seen the pictures... and ahave tried the gum... but it is so hard to give it up
7:05 pm

I did the stop dead and cold turkey method. It was hard but short and sweet.
7:06 pm

Hell - The Dreaded Lurgey is whatever cold/cough/flu bug is doing the rounds and felling everyone. It's symptoms vary, depending on which DL it is.

7:06 pm
spanner

My kids all smoke, and have all used various methods to stop, but i think in the end youve just got to take a big breath, hold your balls and jump into the void
7:07 pm
jillibus

years ago, smooth, CBS ran a TV program on WHY you smoke -- in my case it was (blush) oral gratification mostly. So I used Nicorette gum (there were no patches then and anyway, they're not oral) and a fake cigarette called Paipo which dragged like a real one and had a refreshing menthol flavour.
7:07 pm
smooth_pappa

i think you're right spanner
7:07 pm
LeslieAnn

that's how you did it spanner? held your balls and jumped into the void?
7:08 pm
Jacula

smooth - I have every sympathy because my smoking habit is as entrenched as yours. I'm determined to try again soon though. We saved so much money not smoking last week!
7:08 pm
Enomis65

Please help, I have ONE left : so 6/18... Can't seem to find it
7:08 pm

LOL - Yes, and spanner now has a pink 'handbag' icon. *grins*
7:08 pm

7:08 pm

Its hard I know, cause Ive been through it, but i couldnt do with the fannying around. You are either smoking or youre not
7:08 pm
mirandapan

My husband has been chewing nicorettes for 10 yrs! He's a chain-chewer, but the docs say at least he's not putting smoke in his lungs.
7:09 pm

Methephorically speaking...
7:09 pm

ok, i have another no 4/4 that i can't see. no clue why these are giving me such trouble! anyway, the one after the no5/14?
7:09 pm
Jacula

Enomis - add a vowel to the end of the so/10 before it.
7:09 pm
jillibus

That's what was so good about that program -- it had a quiz which helped determine your reasons. I wish they would do it again.
7:10 pm

7:12 pm
Enomis65

feather - french no + 1st vowel
7:12 pm
Jacula

jilli - I have one of those fake ciggies that drag. Had it years. I thought about using that + patches. Also have a thing you sniff (called Logado). Don't know if you can still get it now but it gives you the same kind of hit the first drag of a cigarette gives you. Very useful for short term cravings (whilst in a non-smoking place).
7:12 pm

Smooth have faith. When the time is right for you, then you will do it
7:13 pm
Jacula

smooth - I'd be lying if I said I didn't smoke at all last week. But, how stupid, carefully forcing a fag down me, trying not to inhale, when I could hardly breathe without coughing anyway, just to satisfy the nicotine demon inside.
7:14 pm
Enomis65

well people it's been nice but I have to make lunches, baths, stories, etc... See you tomorrow night!

Sometimes, I also 'catch' stutters or twitches. That's quite worrying. I had a French teacher with an eye tic. She was lovely, but I'd end up looking and sounding... well, I don't know what, if I spent too much time one to one with her.

I had a friend in college who shared my birthday. We would go out every year just the 2 of us because may 6th always fell during study days for final exams and noone else would join us.
9:23 pm
Jacula

My March 22nd Aries was around for 22/23 years and still is around to be a friend to me a a dad to our 2 kids. We were friends before, the fact that faithfulness got lost somewhere along the way on his part no longer matters; it's been a long time now and he's never let the kids down.
9:23 pm

Woot :)

I think it's just a basic cold.
9:25 pm

lbd - seriously, more seriously, that is, I am shocked at how many of our kids' friends never see their fathers! So many just bugger off, or are kept away by ex-wives.
9:27 pm
lbdawger

Hubz and I are good friends, mates and partners. it's his second marriage, my first.
9:28 pm

Our son is from his first marriage, but the kid is more like me than one wants to think sometimes. People even comment on how our grandson looks like me...hmm 6 degrees of separation?
9:29 pm

i don't understand why the ex's have to be so nasty, especially when there are kids involved.
9:29 pm
lbdawger

Hi book
9:30 pm
Jacula

Both my ex and my present partner (who has a daughter) keep in regular contact with their kids. Other Half's daughter is due back here next weekend for 2 weekends on the trot. She'll be spending her 12th birthday with us because a) she knows I'll make her a cake. LOL and b) We'll take her to see Eragon & she will probably get to go to KFC.

hi gwen... hi dawg
9:31 pm

hey smooth! Jac, Birthdays are special and extra special when the kids want to be with us.
9:33 pm
Jacula

I'm quite wary of being 'loving' in a cuddly way with P's daughter, though I know she often wants me to be. It's just that my daughter HATED that if her Dad's new partner ever tried it. Mind you, that could be because she wasn't lovey-dovey with her own 2. I also know that I would not like it if my daughter got too cuddly with 'another mother'. However, much as I try to pretend to be 'The Wicked Stepmother', P's daughter sees right through me. Aw shucks!
9:35 pm
Jacula

But I am very wary of being a 2nd Mum.

9:36 pm
lbdawger

you can't be the ugly step monster Jac. I told our son that I could be his friend and his step mother, but he had a biological mother and he needed to understand that i would not be replacing her. he was okay with that.

Actually, I belive they should still be used, if not for reasons of hair gel, then the reason that men's heads seem to sweat more than women's and, even without greasy hair products, they still stain chair backs with their heads. My ex Pa-in-Law has ruined the one armchair of the dusky pink suite I gave them!

Just went to the list because I started so late...have 96 left, and realized that i haven't one al or an word...is that possible???
10:30 pm
TeaNCrackers

I hate it when I go to this list and am missing a whole block!
10:33 pm
stidmama

greeny, just wandering by -- kid in shower. there is an 5/10 like the smelly veggie you put in chili... and a plural, and the licorice-like spice an 4/4 (French spelling) or 5/10 (English)
10:34 pm
greengeeny

you are a dream stid! thanks!
10:35 pm
greengeeny

need one al6 and two al5....still working on it!!
10:35 pm
TeaNCrackers

al 6 is just a different vowel ending of the al 5 before it with the plural
10:35 pm
greengeeny

scratch that and switch the numbers...2 al6 and 1 al5
10:35 pm
TeaNCrackers

or, just the plural of the 5 before it
10:36 pm
greengeeny

I have al5/14...sounds like the name of a singer that died a few years back in a plane crash
10:36 pm
jillibus

10:37 pm
jillibus

hi TnC
10:37 pm

I just keep forgetting to change, plus I start work this week, so I won't have much time, so I am going to stick with the kids for awhile.
