12:21 am

sprite

kids are great, oldest is starting to behave like a real teenager. I kinda like that ;)
The weather is novembrish at the moment, but with some frost. No white Christmas for us this year, I fear.

12:22 am

Nef

DRB, I already had that gr8! But now I know what it is! Thanks! :D

12:22 am

stidmama

The folks in New England are saying the same thing, Sprite -- we rarely get snow this time of year, so are planning on heading to the mountains one day during the kids' vacation if we can.

12:22 am

Ornith

hi all. got my icon

12:23 am

hurshy

12:23 am

stidmama

hi Nef!

12:23 am

Ornith

lol stid

12:23 am

sprite

that would be great, stid! We don't have any place close where we can expect snow, but we will make the home extra cozy, do puzzles (the IRL ones), tell stories, listen to music - and pretend it snows, lol.

12:23 am

NatLT

12:27 am

hurshy

ALF

12:27 am

sprite

the rules on words are totally in the hands of enable dictionary - and drG, who declared nothing under 4 letters would be valid.

12:28 am

hurshy

or, you know, a serious answer.

12:28 am

hurshy

whatever.

12:29 am

sprite

Why isn't someone who uses his mind a lot called a br7? With a nice plural 8?

12:29 am

stidmama

I will stop when I reach 100 words.... that is in 8.

12:29 am

hurshy

well we do say a no br7...

12:29 am

12:29 am

hurshy

english isn't her first language, doc :)

12:30 am

sprite

12:30 am

hurshy

1:54 am

FranMag

it's the city that's right on the harbor...pearl harbor, hence the name

1:55 am

FranMag

jilli, i thought of you when i read this post because he wrote about heating up a "meal for one" which you often talk about.

1:55 am

sprite

1:57 am

FranMag

1:57 am

FranMag

1:57 am

FranMag

not sure though, i'll have to look that up.

2:01 am

jillibus

thanks fran -- went to the llink -- interesting -- but he talks about getting a taxi and going to a fast-food joint. On this island taxis are rare and expensive, and fast-food joints are non-existent (thank goodness). He loves at the other end of Canada.:D And my, but he's OLD!! 92!!!!

2:02 am

FranMag

yes jilli, i found out that he's 93 or will be soon.

2:02 am

FranMag

he writes the posts in long-hand and has someone else put them on-line

2:03 am

FranMag

well, i thought of you when i read his dinner for one post, you often talk about heating up your dinner

2:04 am

FranMag

i thought you might be inspired to write a blog yourself since you have so many interesting things to share all the time.

2:06 am

lynxxx

Yay - its raining!

2:06 am

FranMag

has it been dry?

2:07 am

lynxxx

We've had huge bushfires constantly for 3 weeks all over the state - hopefully this will put some of them out.

2:07 am

FranMag

that would be good

2:08 am

Angb

They have just called up another 50 NZ firefighters to join to fight the fires lynxxx

2:08 am

2:09 am

FranMag

i hope you're out of the path of the fires lynxxx

2:09 am

Angb

It's very scary though lynxxx. Do they think the fires are natural or arson?

2:10 am

lynxxx

I'm in the city - thanks goodness

2:10 am

FranMag

oh good

2:10 am

FranMag

can't be good for air quality though, wherever you are.

4:26 am

spanner

Katie, dont know which way you are going, but some patches of motorway round brum are fog bound...take care

4:27 am

KatieMcG

Thanks spanner. It's bad here so I'll leave it till tomorrow and hope it is a little better.

4:28 am

KatieMcG

I hope you have a really good christmas diem, I do miss you both :-)

4:28 am

spanner

We have a transport business, so I know its bad, and the forecast for tomorrow isnt great either...just be careful. People seem to rush heedless at this time of year..

4:29 am

diem

How you doing on grid katie? got my 1st fireworks yesterday

4:30 am

kthdsn

I keep forgetting it's nearly christmas, it just doesn't seem important this year

4:30 am

KatieMcG

I know what you mean spanner, there is always one nutter with no lights doing 90

4:30 am

KatieMcG

I've only got 35 so far, but no intention of doing any work so I've got another hour an a half to work on it. Haven't had fireworks in months :-(

4:31 am

spanner

I know Kate. I keep thinking its cause all my kids are grown up and left, but I think that the atmosphere just isnt the same this year

4:31 am

kthdsn

I don't know how we're going to hold it together and manage to have a nice happy day for the girls

4:32 am

diem

Your mam probably finished hours ago!!

4:32 am

spanner

I hope so kate. Christmas is adifficult time emotionally, I find

4:34 am

KatieMcG

She's being really quiet!! diem rescued me from a miserable Christmas last year and now i'm looking forward to it, but it can be a very difficult time of year.

4:34 am

kthdsn

it's not the christmas part thats difficult, it's the part where my marriage fell apart and we're trying to behave as normal to protect the kids from our pain until I have chance to get them to canada to be with my mum

4:35 am

spanner

I think its because people look forward to it so much for all different reasons, and sometimes the reality can be a letdown

4:35 am

spanner

Whats difficult Kate is holding it together and being civil, when you are spending more time under the same roof...

4:37 am

kthdsn

we're managing to be civil most of the time, we still like each other, it's just getting harder and harder to hold it together as it sinks in and becomes more real

4:37 am

spanner

Its hard. Ive been there and done that, so i know, but Kate, things WILL get better, just carry on being brave and thinking of the girls. My thoughts are with you

4:38 am

kthdsn

and now I'm getting so scared that he won't have the money for me to leave

4:38 am

diem

Mari you on here?

4:38 am

KatieMcG

Kate, my life fell apart last year and thats why diem rescued me at Christmas, but things are so much better now. I know it doesn't seem it but time is a great healer

4:39 am

KatieMcG

Just phone her, she's been shopping will be on in a minute

4:40 am

KatieMcG

Sorry I meant I had just phoned her and she will be on in a minute

4:40 am

kthdsn

it means so much to me that the people here care so much, babble land has become my sanctuary, my outlet for all the crazy thoughts that won't leave me alone, it's keeping me sane having a 24 hour caring support group

4:41 am

spanner

Kte things always have a way of working themselves out, and all the worrying in the world wont change anything. I know its difficult but just hang in there. Something good is always around the corner, though at times it doesnt seem like it at the time

4:41 am

mari

On now Diem - barely escaped with my life at the shops!!

4:42 am

kthdsn

hi mari

4:42 am

spanner

I know what you mean. Be brave sweetie, everyone is pulling for you...

hi all :)

4:50 am

spanner

Kate you WILL survive this, you can get through the pain, and each day you will begin to feel a little stronger, and you will heal, but it will take time. Concentrate on the girls. They need you, and you need them. Kate what you are going through is a period of grief, but you will come through it healed if you give it time

4:50 am

KatieMcG

apart from babysitting & hamster sitting, explain the stress!!

If we had mountains we wouldn't be able to see them for the fog anyway, but there seems no chance of a white christmas here this year, unless you count the visibility!!

I know. And its doubly hard because of the suddeness with which these things happen, but give yourself time to grieve, and dont bottle things up and before you know it it will be another new year, and youll wake up one day and relise how much better you feel

You know, Kate, parents arethe conservative sort, firm believers in he bird in hand theory of life rather than jump for your dreams. I know that sometimes you have to do the right thing for youself rather than what makes them feel best.

8:16 am

kthdsn

it's getting harder to keep going the more it sinks in, and still no word on the money front

8:17 am

raelite

when is your flight?

8:18 am

kthdsn

I haven't booked yet as I have no money yet, I was hoping for jan 11th but who knows

8:18 am

raelite

oh ok...so if he doesn't come through with the money by say, 2 JAN, get a lawyer and seize his assets and income

8:19 am

kthdsn

he has no assets to seize

8:19 am

raelite

oh, I bet he does...does he have a car?

8:19 am

kthdsn

we have a house that is worth less than the mortgage and a bunch of debts

8:19 am

raelite

he has a job? you can have his wages garnished

8:19 am

kthdsn

nope no car

8:20 am

raelite

he is contractually obligated to care for your children, he has to pay ...does he have life insurance from work>

8:20 am

kthdsn

he doesn't earn much, it would be more hassle than it's worth to try and fight money from his wages

8:20 am

kthdsn

no nothing at all

8:20 am

kthdsn

we were only just scraping by as it was

8:21 am

kthdsn

that's why he was borrowing this money for me, he is just having trouble getting hold of the guy who's lending it

8:21 am

raelite

hm...is it imperative you rely on him? you can't get any money from your family?

8:21 am

kthdsn

they don't have any either, dad is out of work and mums wages barely cover their expenses

8:23 am

raelite

wow that is a pickle...why exactly are you leaving the country? to be away from him?

8:23 am

kthdsn

no I'd love to stay near him, I need to be with my family though who are in toronto

8:24 am

kthdsn

I have wanted to be there for ages, we were planning on going together

8:24 am

raelite

ok...I see.

8:24 am

kthdsn

since I have to rebuild my life, I need to do that where I WANT to be

8:25 am

kthdsn

the only thing stopping me right now is the damn money

8:26 am

raelite

I wish I had a solution for you Kate...the only thing I can think of for you is to try and get a credit card

8:26 am

kthdsn

I have about ten of them, all maxed out

8:27 am

Charm

Can your family in Canada pitch in enough for tickets and a bit of start-up?

8:27 am

kthdsn

he was borrowing enough to clear my cards and give me a fresh start, he still says it's definite that he can get the money, it's just chasing up the guy

8:27 am

raelite

you must be going out of your mind

8:27 am

kthdsn

no charm, I've asked them

8:28 am

kthdsn

they're trying to get me to stay here til I have paid off my cards, but I can't face doing that

8:28 am

raelite

I think it may be your only option right now...unless you declare bankruptcy

8:28 am

raelite

you're young, you can recover from it

8:29 am

kthdsn

staying here is not an option at all, I would rather shoot myself

8:29 am

kthdsn

I have faith, I don't know in what, but I'm sure that something will fall into place

8:29 am

Atalante

no you wouldnt kate. think of your kids

8:29 am

raelite

if you move to Canada and even if you earn $90 000 a year, you'll never pay them off...the exchange between the pound and the dollar is like 3:1

8:30 am

raelite

you need to unload that debt...either onto him or the bank...

8:30 am

kthdsn

I believe him when he tells me he can get me the money from this friend of his

8:30 am

raelite

get him to get a card in his name

8:31 am

kthdsn

he has cards too, all maxed

8:31 am

kthdsn

we had a really hard few months last year with no income at all, we're still trying to recover from that

8:32 am

kthdsn

no bank will give either of us more credit

8:32 am

periwinkle

8:32 am

8:38 am

kthdsn

thanks rae, he really is trying his best to help me, he is allowing me to take his child away from him and he is trying so hard to enable me us to go and start again

8:39 am

raelite

good. just remember to vent when you need to, let that steam out!

8:40 am

kthdsn

he hasn't said a mean word to me and he's going out of his way to try and make things easier practically, even though it's so tough emotionally for both of us

8:40 am

8:42 am

raelite

well...try to get your mind off it for a little while...

8:43 am

raelite

8:44 am

kthdsn

babble is really helping me stay sane, not so much the game but the wonderful people here

8:44 am

raelite

or here, I'll tell you some good news: after a year, I have finally recovered from my last lupus flare up! yay!

8:44 am

kthdsn

see, good things do happen, that's what I keep telling myself

8:44 am

raelite

yeah, sometimes good things happen :)

8:45 am

raelite

is it wrong that I like to do the letters with only one word because it makes them grey quicker?

8:46 am

kthdsn

no I do that too

8:46 am

raelite

good, because if it is, I don't want to be right

8:46 am

Well done, rolin!

9:38 am

Atalante

she belongs to a friend's parents, and is very much a working dog on the farm. and she's *gorgeous*

9:39 am

Haz1558

rosy is the normal spelling I think - it becomes rosier when made into comparative form

9:39 am

Haz1558

She is lovely, Atalante - looks as though she's ready to do her master's bidding.

9:39 am

ch1212

congratulations, rolin

ch1212

yes, your desktray is usually at the bottom of your computer screen, and has tiny icons lined up

9:41 am

herinfernallady

yep got that

9:42 am

smooth_pappa

konichiwa!

9:42 am

ch1212

you could test it by unmuting and playing a sound for a second on low volume. If you can hear the sound, then you know your headphones have a problem

9:42 am

NonnieLight

hello pappa

9:42 am

herinfernallady

but my headfones are currently working with my ipod this is the head scratcher

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

haz, are you giving out words are christmas presents today ? LOL

9:42 am

kthdsn

herin are you sure the headphone socket is in right, mine always seems to go in a little further when I give it a good shove

9:43 am

ch1212

indeed it is .... I've gone as far as my limited (extremely limited) capabilities go ...

9:43 am

herinfernallady

nope tried that there is one more thing that it may have got scrambled, peice of?

9:44 am

Haz1558

Hello TO - sorry if my icon is confusing today. It's Atalante's fault. She wanted the spaniel!

9:44 am

rolin

ata i went to your web site...can you tell me who aglaranna is..

9:45 am

Atalante

aglaranna? she's an amzing jewellery creator

9:46 am

Atalante

yes, blame me :) husband has kidnapped my spaniel so I'm in need of spaniels here :)

9:46 am

Haz1558

I'm about to change the clue for something suitable....

9:47 am

rolin

she truly is...does she operate commercially?

9:47 am

Atalante

she definitely does commissions and requests for people, I thin she's just finishing college before going professional. something like that!

9:47 am

herinfernallady

well thats got me stumped

9:48 am

Haz1558

Okay, spaniel suitably clue-worthy

9:49 am

Atalante

didnt know she was Yorkshire born - good stock from oop north!

9:49 am

kthdsn

herin, I *think* if you double click the volume icon it opens a list of the different volumes you can set, check that they are all unmuted and turned up

9:50 am

Haz1558

Well no, she wasn't, but we don't tend to say no4/8 much here.... I was trying to give a clue with the Yorkshire thing.

9:50 am

herinfernallady

kth its got me totally stumped. it was working before i had to update norton. Im working in the dark here as the boy is asleep. I think ill get him to look at it tommorrow.

9:50 am

9:51 am

herinfernallady

Kth i have nothing on mute im not that dumb (even my it nut friends have made that mistake)

9:51 am

ch1212

HERIN, that's why I asked about the tray icon!! The same thing happened to me when we updated NORTON the other day --- my husband had to reinstall the drivers.

9:51 am

kthdsn

I didn't mean to imply that you were dumb, I've done it before myself where some of the volumes have been so low that I can't hear it

9:51 am

herinfernallady

I have the ipod so its keeping me company, Oh bugger that might be the problem bloody norton

9:52 am

kthdsn

i rather dislike norton, it eats up too many resources

9:52 am

ch1212

As a last ditch, you can always reset your system to an earlier date (before the Norton update) and go that way if need be.

9:52 am

herinfernallady

oh kth i have done more dumb computer things than you would believe like arrrrr black screen of death this is all bad, then i realised i had a flat battery

9:52 am

Haz1558

My husband sometimes eats up too many resources.
