I know little of the niceties of art, Atalante. Even so, that water color must have been painstakeing work. Very nice!

2:46 am

Atalante

it was certainly very painful!

2:48 am

o-o

Do you go through a process akin to grieving when a project is done?

2:49 am

Atalante

it tends to go 1) immediate delight 2) a few days of utter woe thinking the thing is no good and then 3) sadness that I'm not doing that thing anymore

2:52 am

o-o

Yeah. Then to start anew the process again.

3:01 am

good morning Haz:)

3:13 am

Odin

Mornin' Haz

3:14 am

Haz1558

Hello Odin - missed you the past couple of mornings.

3:15 am

Odin

My mother is in the hospital with high blood pressure and we all took turns staying with her as she has Alzheimer's and is extremely disoriented. an't rely on the overworked staff to watch her 24-7.

3:16 am

Haz1558

That explains it. It can't be easy for you to cope with that situation.

3:17 am

jean1953

fireworks:)

3:17 am

Haz1558

Well done jean!

3:17 am

Odin

It can be frustrating as she is unaware she is even in the hospital. We answer the same questions hundreds of times a day...but the good news is she may be discharged today and once she returns home most of the disorientation is gone.

3:18 am

Odin

WTG Jean!

3:18 am

jean1953

thank you Haz and Odin:)

3:19 am

Haz1558

It seems to be a common thing that taking patients from their home environment causes real problems. Hopefully she'll be better once home. But the answering of the questions - patience needed in abundance!

3:20 am

Odin

That is true Haz and thanks for noticing I was missing in action.

3:21 am

jean1953

must away, sorry to read about your mum odin, good luck with it all:) bye everyone:)

3:21 am

Odin

TY jean

3:21 am

Haz1558

Bye jean - have a good day.

3:22 am

jean1953

thanks Haz and you too

3:22 am

Haz1558

Odin, do you have brothers and sisters?

3:22 am

Odin

One sister who shares the responsibilities so my Dad can get some rest.

3:23 am

Haz1558

That's good - I have a friend coping alone with two elderly aunts who are deteriorating mentally. It's not easy for her.

3:24 am

Odin

That's tough. Being responsibile for both of them must be exhausting and is a huge task.

3:25 am

Haz1558

The two aunts live separately, my friend has a full-time job and tries to keep them going as well. One has taken to calling the police when she can't find things.....

3:26 am

Odin

She certainly has her hands full. I have my sister to help and so far no alls to the police or wandering about.

3:27 am

Haz1558

Well, I hope the situation with your mother improves and remains manageable for everyone.

3:28 am

Odin

Thanks Haz...once home she will be much better.

3:28 am

Odin

Good thing I got the beet at work and have had the time to be there.

3:29 am

Odin

The boot at work

3:29 am

Haz1558

And you can afford to be generous with all those begging letters..... Has mine got there yet?

3:29 am

Odin

Not yet Haz but I have been on the look out for it!

3:30 am

Haz1558

I suppose if you don't come up with the goods I can always write to David Beckham - looks like he'll have some cash to spare. Mind you, Victoria will have a whole new set of shops to visit....

3:31 am

Odin

Isn't that the truth...they were on tv last night and she seems to emit shopper from each and every breath she takes....he's certainly got $$$$$$$$!

3:32 am

Haz1558

They have money, but please, he looks okay, but when he opens his mouth and that squeaky voice comes out.....

3:33 am

Odin

I noticed that too...what's up with that?

3:33 am

FMitch

Morning all
They are both need elocution lessions!

3:34 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMitch!

3:34 am

Mornin' FMitch ...you are right about that.

3:35 am

scarydeb

he does have a lovely smile tho

3:35 am

Haz1558

Victoria features in lots of magazines over here, but she looks SO miserable all the time.

3:36 am

Haz1558

His looks are movie-star, his voice is silent movie-star.

3:36 am

Odin

Miserable because she is having to keep the women from him?

3:36 am

scarydeb

i always think she'd be a lot happier if she ate a bit more

3:36 am

Haz1558

I think she looks miserable because she is always thinking of herself as a fashion model - and they usually look miserable as well.

3:37 am

Odin

Can't be easy livin' in the limelight

3:38 am

Haz1558

They LOVE the limelight.

3:38 am

FMitch

THere is a clause in every modle's contract that they will not smile or look like they are enjoying gthemselves!
scary love the icon, is he yours?

3:38 am

Odin

Yes the seem to bask in it but it has to take its toll on both of them

3:39 am

scarydeb

it must be difficult not being able to have a slobby day just in case any one sees you

3:40 am

scarydeb

fmitch - yes my baby, that was his 2nd birthday back in June came 4th in his class

3:41 am

FMitch

He is georgeous, has he finished growing? How many hands?

3:41 am

Haz1558

From what I know of FMitch's dressing habits, slobby days are few and far between - she and hydra were sharing fashion secrets yesterday.

3:42 am

Haz1558

Tracksuits and fingerless gloves are the new power suits.

3:42 am

Odin

Nothing gets by you Haz!

3:42 am

scarydeb

I bred him myself, hes pure arab about 15hh now and shoudl make 15'2

3:43 am

Haz1558

It conjured up a great mental image yesterday, Odin!

3:44 am

FMitch

LOL Haz I am a little more co-ordinated today as Ihave a client coming round this morning

3:45 am

Odin

I bet it did Haz...fingerless gloves and tracksuits...I haven't seen it in south florida yet but...I'll watch for it when I am in Boca where fashion is essential

3:46 am

scarydeb

must go - boss has just given me some work to do!! c u later

3:46 am

Odin

later deb

3:46 am

FMitch

Bye scarydeb

3:46 am

Haz1558

We may laugh, but who knows, some fashion designers may be listening in and thinking 'Hmm, a new trend'

3:47 am

Haz1558

They must get their inspiration from all sorts of places. I'll be keeping an eye out on the cat-walks next season.

3:48 am

Odin

Watch for flip flop hsoes with the outfit in south florida

3:48 am

Odin

shoes...can't type today

3:49 am

Haz1558

Fip flop shoes and fingerless gloves. Paul Simon could probably do something with that lyric, let's hope the fashion designers DON'T pursue the concept.

3:49 am

FMitch

The only people that see me like this is the postman and any passing burgulars.

A favor to ask, if it's possible. I am in China and they will not let me open Lickety here. Is there such a thing as one of you copying the list on to a word document and emailing it to me? I've tried to do it the last two days without a list and have not been able to finish it. Gets discouraging and wastes too much of my time here. I have to squeeze in bits and pieces of free time.

Today is Einstein's birthday. He would have been 107.
Few people remember that the Nobel Prize winner married his
cousin, Elsa Lowenthal, after his first marriage dissolved in 1919.
He stated that he was attracted to Elsa because she was well endowed,
and postulated that if you are attracted to women with large breasts,
the attraction is stronger if there is a DNA connection.
This came to be known as Einstein's Theory of Relative Titty.

Oh be quiet - - - I didn't write this I just passed it on!

Mexican Oysters

A big Texan stopped at a local restaurant following a day roaming around in Mexico.
While sipping his tequila, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served
at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful.

He asked the waiter, "What is that you just served?"

The waiter replied, "Ah senor, you have excellent taste!
Those are called Cojones de Toro, Bull's testicles
from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!"

The cowboy said, "What the heck, bring me an order."

The waiter replied, I am so sorry senor. There is
only one serving per day because there is only one
bull fight each morning. If you come early tomorrow
and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy."

The next morning, the cowboy returned, placed his order,
and that evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day.
After a few bites, and inspecting his platter, he called to the
waiter and said, "These are delicious, but they are much, much
smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday."

The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied sorrowfully,
"Si, Senor. Sometimes it is the bull that wins.

The truck driver was stil puzzled. Then at the last stoplight as she was running up to him he roled down his window and said" Lady my name is jerry and this is michigan, it is snowing and I am driving a salt truck"

Explaining the Buffalo Theory

"Well ya see Buddy, it's like this....A herd of buffalo can only move
As fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the
Slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This
Natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed
And health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of
The weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only
Operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we
All know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and
Weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer
Eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more
Efficient machine.
That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Not unnaturally she gets fed up with this and asks him why he keeps looking at the woman. 'Well dear' he says 'I used to go out with her before I met you. Its very sad but after we parted she started to drink too much and still does.' His wife replied ' Thats a very long time to keep celebrating'.

Many aspects of human sexuality are very puzzling.
Take celibacy. This can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed
by environmental factors.

While attending a Marriage Encounter Weekend, Bill and Mary listened
to the instructor declare 'It is essential that husbands and wives know
the things that are important to each other. He addressed the men.
"Can you each name and describe your wife's favourite flower ?"
Bill leaned over, touched Mary's arm gently and whispered, "Self
raising,isn't it?"
Thus began Bill's life of celibacy.

Paddy and Mick are walking home after a night on the beer.They've got no money to get a taxi, and are staggering all over the place when they find themselves outside a bus depot.

Paddy says to Mick, "get in there and steal a bus so we can drive home and I'll stay out here and look out for the police."

Mick duly breaks into the depot and is gone for twenty minutes, while Paddy is wondering what the hell he is doing.

Eventually Paddy sticks his head around the door, and sees Mick running from bus to bus looking very worried."What in all hell are you doing, Mick, get a move on!"

To which Mick replies," I can't find a number 7 anywhere Paddy."

Whereupon Paddy, holding his hands to his head in disbelief, shouts,"You idiot, Mick, steal a number 9 and we'll get off at the roundabout and walk the rest of the way!"

The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away

My mother was a fanatic about public restrooms. When I was a little girl,
she'd take me into the stall, show me how to wad up toilet paper and wipe
the seat. Then she'd carefully lay strips of toilet paper to cover the seat.

Finally, she'd instruct, "Never, NEVER sit on a public toilet seat.
Then she'd demonstrate "The Stance," which consisted of balancing over the

toilet in a sitting position without actually letting any of your flesh make contact with the toilet seat.That was a long time ago. Now, in m y "mature" years, "The Stance"
is excruciatingly difficult to maintain.

When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you

smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied.

Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall. You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter.

The dispenser for the modern "seat overs" (invented by someone's Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there were one, but there isn't - so you carefully but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR!), yank down your pants, and assume "The Stance."

In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake. You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold "The Stance."

To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you
discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you
can hear your mother's voice saying, "Honey, if you had tried to
clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!"
Your thighs shake more.

You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday the one that's still in your purse. That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It is still smaller than your thumbnail.

Someone pushes open your stall door because the latch doesn't work.
The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest,
and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet.

"Occupied!" you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT. It is wet of course.

You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper -- not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try.

You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you're certain, her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, "You just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could get."

By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a firehose that somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too. At that point, you give up.

You're soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat. You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks. You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women, still waiting. You are no longer able to smile politely at them.

A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe. ( Where was that when you NEEDED it?? ) You yank thepaper from your shoe, plunk it the woman's hand and tell her warmly,
"Here, you just might need this."

As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used and left the men's restroom. Annoyed, he asks, "What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?". . .This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with a public restroom.

(rest??? you've got to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked question about why women go to the restroom in pairs It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you Kleenex under the door

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.

After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied, " When I am worried about getting nervous on
the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get
nervous, I take a sip."

So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.

At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.

He proceeded to talk up a storm.

Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following
note on the door:

1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.

2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.

3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.

4 )Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.

6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.

7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior
and the Spook.

8) David slew Goliath, he did not kick the crap out of him.

9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't
say he was stoned off his ass.

10) We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."

11) When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "take this
and eat it for it is my body." He did not say " Eat me".

12) The Virgin Mary is not called " Mary with the Cherry"

13) The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub
thanks for the grub, Yeah God.

Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence. The Priest said,
"Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you
like, but you may not speak until I direct you to do so".

Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years before the
Priest said to her, "Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here for 5
years. You may speak two words." Sister Mary Katherine said, "Hard bed."

"I'm sorry to hear that," the Priest said, "We will get you a better bed."

After another 5 years, Sister Mary Katherine was called by the Priest.
"You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine.

"Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured her that
the food would be better in the future.

On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again called Sister
Mary Katherine into his office.

"You may say two words today."

"I quit," said Sister Mary Katherine.

"It's probably best", said the Priest, "You've done nothing but complain
since you got here."

This Irish guy shows up in a pub one day and orders
three pints of Guinness. He takes sips from each glass until they are empty and calls the bartender for three more. The bartender says, "hey, pal, I don't mind bringing one at a time, then they'll be fresh and cold."

"Nah... ahm preferrin' that ya bring 'em three at a time. You see, me and me two brothers would meet at a pub and drink and have good times. Now one is in Australia, the other in Canada and I'm here. We agreed before we split up that we'd drink this way to each other's honor."

"Well," says the bartender, "that's a damn good sentimental thing to do. I'll bring the pints as you ask."

Well, time goes on and the Irishman's peculiar habit is known and accepted by all the pub regulars. One day, the Irishman comes in and orders only two pints. A hush falls over the pub. Naturally, everyone figures something happened to one of the brothers. A bunch of the regulars corner the bartender and finally persuade him to find out what happened.

With a heavy heart, the bartender brings the two
pints and says, "Here's your pints... and let me offer
my sincerest condolences. What happened?"

The Irishman looks extremely puzzled for a moment.
When the light comes on in his head, he starts laughing. "No, no! 'Tis nothing like that. You see,
I've given up drinking for Lent."

Memorial Stone

A woman's husband dies. He had $30,000 to his name.

After everything is done at the funeral home
and cemetery, she tells her closest friend that
there is none of the $30,000 left.

The friend says, "How can that be?

The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,500.
And of course I made a donation to the church.
That was $500, and I spent another $500 for the
wake, food and drinks, you know.
The rest went for the memorial stone."

The friend says, "$22,500 for the memorial stone?
Great scott woman, how big is it?"

The widow says, "Three carats."

Paddy staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking Buddy, Mick. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Brigid.
He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their Upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.

Managing not to yell, Paddy sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding.
He managed to quietly find a full box of band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood. He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.

In the morning, Paddy woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Brigid staring at him from across the room.

She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you Paddy?"

Paddy said, "Why would you say such a mean thing?"

"Well," Brigid said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly...

-------it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror."

THE POTATO

Well, Girl Potato and Boy Potato

had eyes for each other,

and finally they got married,

and had a little sweet potato,

which they called 'Yam.'

Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.

When it was time,

they told her about the facts of life.

They warned her about going out

and getting half-baked,

so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed,

and get a bad name for herself like

'Hot Potato,'

and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.

Yam said not to worry,

no Spud would get her into

the sack and make a rotten potato out of her!

But on the other hand

she wouldn't stay home

and become a Couch Potato either.

She would get plenty of exercise

so as not to be skinny

like her Shoestring cousins.

When she went off to Europe,

Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam

to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland.

And the greasy guys from France

called the French Fries.

And when she went out west,

to watch out for the Indians

so she wouldn't get scalloped.

Yam said she would stay on

the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate

with those high class Yukon Golds,

or the ones from the other side of the tracks

who advertise their trade

on all the trucks that say,

'Frito Lay.'

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho PU.

(that's Potato University)

so that when she graduated

she'd really be in the Chips.

But in spite of all they did for her,

one-day Yam came home and announced

she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.

Tom Brokaw!

Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset.

They told Yam she couldn't

possibly marry Tom Brokaw

because he's just.......

Are you ready for this?

Are you sure?

2) The farm was used to produce produce.

3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

4) We must polish the Polish furniture.

5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.

6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.

8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum

9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

10) I did not object to the object.

11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

13) They were too close to the door to close it.

14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.

15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

PS. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"

You lovers of the English language might enjoy this

There is a two-letter word that perhaps
has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.

When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.

When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.

One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so............ Time to shut UP.....!

Oh...one more thing:

What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U-P

A touching elephant story

While on holiday in Kenya and walking through the bush a man comes across

an elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seems distressed so the man approaches very carefully. He gets

down on one knee and inspects the bottom of the elephant's foot only to

find a large thorn deeply embedded.

As carefully and as gently as he can he removes the thorn and the elephant

gingerly puts its foot down. The elephant turns to face the man and with a

rather stern look on its face, stares at him. For a good ten minutes the

man stands frozen - thinking of nothing else but being trampled.

Eventually the elephant turns and walks away.

For many years after, the man often remembers

and ponders the events of that day.

Years later the man is walking through the zoo with his son. As they

approach the elephant enclosure, one of the elephants turns and walks over

to where they are standing at the rail. It stares at him and the man can't

help wondering if this is the same elephant.

The man climbs tentatively over the railing and makes his way into the

enclosure. He walks right up to the elephant and stares back in wonder.

Suddenly the elephant wraps its trunk around one of the man's legs and

swings him wildly back and forth along the railing, instantly killing him.

Probably not the same elephant.

Rant alert!!! This Xmas, he knew that me and my family would be at my parents for Chrimbo. He has only seen my son once (Xmas before) and had never met my daughter. Well he walked in said hello, completely ignored Laura who was playing on the floor in plain sight and walked straight past Sean. He didn't even bother with any kind of present for them. Now if he was a lanky teen or spotty youngster I could maybe forgive it, but he's 43 years old!!!!

I have tried to babble from China for three days and never finished. China will not let me open Lickety's list so I'm not able to find the final words that I am missing ... wastes lots of my time here. I could not find one at Babbler's annonymous or Angelsong. Is there another somewhere? I think the censors do not like the word lists. Can anyone copy Lickety's and email the day's list to me? Is that something that can even be done?

Hi everyone.

I see mousey was having fun again today... *rolls eyes*

4:49 pm

stidmama

hi Mom.

4:49 pm

stidmama

Small grid, not a lot going on!

4:49 pm

Mom

Hi Stid

4:50 pm

stidmama

It's COLD here today -- got above freezing in the sun, but only just! Finished the grid early and had no more excuses...

4:50 pm

Mom

Managed to squeak out 33 this morning .... now for the rest.

4:50 pm

stidmama

I can help if you get stuck.

4:51 pm

Mom

Wow, Stid that is cold for you all. Here in northern KY we were in the 50's

4:51 pm

Mom

not like winter at all for us.

4:51 pm

Mom

Thank you for the offer. I may have to take you up on it.

4:52 pm

Mom

I thought I would kill some time while waiting for my sweetie to get home from work.

4:54 pm

stidmama

sorry, dog was in my lap. Seems kinda warm for you back there -- don't you normally have snow this time of year? (I have about an hour before my kid gets off the bus)

4:55 pm

Mom

We usually are in the 20's to low 30's for daytime highs. We have had but one snow fall and it came at rush hour one day and was completely gone by 11:00 a.m.

4:56 pm

Mom

I have an Aunt that lives in Seattle and she went to San Diego for 3 weeks to get away from the weather there.

4:56 pm

pinkytack

Can anyone help with the ce 5/12?

4:56 pm

stidmama

wow. I bet your plants and birds are really confused... I have all kinds of little birds I don't usually see at my feeders because it's so cold. Your aunt has the right idea... while I don't like So. Cal much, I wouldn't mind a quick trip at the moment!

4:57 pm

stidmama

the ce 5/12 is an old fashioned English word for "knave" it's an alternate spelling for churl...

4:57 pm

evanonut

oh lookit, stiddy!

4:58 pm

The bad thing about it being so warm here is we haven't have a good killing frost. It is a roller coaster ride for us. One week it is in the 30's the next week it is in the 50's. I am sure we will pay for it soon.

the problem with finishing the grid quickly is that when you're bored at work and need a break, there's no grid to play with?

7:34 pm

Ping

i'm already down to 12 - of course those 12 could be tough

7:35 pm

Jacula

phan - The funeral service was a humanist one (non-religious), conducted by a registrar who knew him personally. I don't think I've ever been to a service/ceremony where people laughed as much as they cried as the deceased's life exploits, including selling tyres to Arabs, were recounted. It was a lovely, honest service that ended with the words, 'Now get down to the pub and drink to him!'

7:35 pm

lbdawger

a couple odd ones, but most of these we've seen before

7:36 pm

lbdawger

Jac~my kind of funeral. a loving memorial! cheers!

7:36 pm

phandmd

Sounds like a nice service. Even knowing all the great things, doesn't make the loss less painful though.

7:46 pm

LOL LoriP

7:47 pm

Jacula

That reminds me of a joke Paul told me earlier.... A little boy was on a nudist beach with his parents. He wandered off for a while and then came back saying, 'Mommy. I've seen ladies with much bigger boobies than yours!' 'The bigger they are, the dumber they are!' said his mother. He wandered off again. On his return he said, 'Mommy. I've seen men with much bigger dinglers than Daddy's!' 'The bigger they are, the dumber they are,' said his mother. The lad goes walkabout again... He returns. 'Mommy! I know what you mean now. I've just seen Daddy talking to a realy, really DUMB lady and the more he talked to her, the dumber he got!'

7:47 pm

LoriP

Kalea, that's why I didn't change anything, because if I had gone with say Gina, I'd ahve wondered who Gina was, and why she never answered anybody... :)

7:47 pm

lbdawger

Kalea, must be a certain way of our age group.

7:47 pm

kalea

7:47 pm

Jacula

Tactful way of putting it! LOL.

8:16 pm

lbdawger

i know what you mean jac. some of the words that are allowed are so bogus and then there are others...

8:17 pm

Minveryork

Since since this is such a small grid, I am going to try and get some words by myself. I was already able to get 35 words without the list. Then I went to the list

8:17 pm

Jacula

I know, lbd! I think we all go AARGH at times.

lbdawger

Jacula

Having said that, some of the words that may be obsolete, or just regional, to us here in UK and we find what is probably the same to you in USA. Frustration abounds on both sides but, as we exchange information, we all learn more about each other's languages. Yes, I know we're all supposed to speak English in UK, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, NZ and Tasmania - but there's a world of difference sometimes. We are often closer to the Antipodeans languagewise.

8:20 pm

lbdawger

oops, put together, build=er5/12

8:20 pm

8:27 pm

Smdnjv

featherbee: I am sorry about your Kitty. When Bj Kittikens died I cried for weeks. There were times that I thought that kitty was the only living thing in this world that loved me. I hope that you are in a good place in your life and do not feel the pain that I did.

8:27 pm

yogalatte

thanks min, have trouble with the short ones too

8:27 pm

pam

oh, relarion, that is so hard

8:28 pm

featherbee

i'm not as upset as i thought i'd be, and i think it's because this past week i've been wondering how much time we had left with her. doug just refilled her pills this past tuesday, and ever since then i've been wondering.

8:28 pm

Minveryork

Hi SMDNJV! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

8:29 pm

lbdawger

It's so hard to lose a furbaby. all their unconditional love and our dependency for their love.

8:29 pm

relarion

It is Pam; feather, I've been through it with 2 dogs and 2 cats. It's a big deal when you love them so.

8:30 pm

featherbee

our nickname for her was "needful thing" because she doted on me

8:30 pm

Jacula

SMD - I was like that about my old dog. He was such a pal to me when I was in bits after my marriage broke up that I fear I kept the poor old boy going for a year longer than I should have. I loved him so much though, and he me. It broke my heart when I had to take him on his last journey. 6/7 years on I still don't feel ready for a new dog. 2 cats have adoped ME in the meantime.

8:30 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the mo 6/21 word please

8:30 pm

featherbee

she'd always be here on the top of the couch, purring inches away from my ear as i played on the computer

8:30 pm

8:30 pm

8:37 pm

Smdnjv

I lost BJ Kittikens over 15 years ago. There is hardly a day that I do not think of him. He would sit in the chair beside me or on my lap an purr while I read to him.

8:37 pm

featherbee

thanks jac. that touched me. i'll be back in a bit.

8:37 pm

lbdawger

Jac, yes, it's beautiful. and heart wrenching.

8:46 pm

Minveryork

Hello firefly779! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

8:46 pm

Jacula

Correct. 'gots' is not a word.

8:46 pm

firefly779

Jac - I need one 6, and three 4's, one each of G, R, T, and M

8:46 pm

Smdnjv

Question please. I have been playing this game for two weeks. Trial period up today and I upgraded. How long will it be before I can put it down and go to bed without waiting for the next days grid to flip and getting a little start on it??

8:46 pm

Smdnjv

I do not remember how I came across this site but I have not been able to leave it. I rush home from work to take up where I left off at lunch.

8:49 pm

Jacula

ro4/4 - body breakdown as mentioned before + upright stick consonant.

8:49 pm

firefly779

Jac - woohoo! ok, T and M

8:51 pm

Jacula

m6/21 maybe? Sounds like an Irish girl's name. Rhymes with a soup container (tu****).

8:52 pm

firefly779

yesssss Jac - good, i'll try to monkey the t4 then...

8:52 pm

Jacula

If that's correct and you final word is a t/4, we have a few to choose from.

8:52 pm

Smdnjv

Can someone tell me about Mousey? I would never ask anyone's age, especially if I think they may be under 21. I have grandchildren and I would never want them to tell their age to adults in a public chat. I first thought Mousey was under 10, but noow not so sure. He is witty, hurmorous and seemingly very smart. He/She makes me laugh!!

8:53 pm

Jacula

Hey! I'm 'good', aren't I? LOL.

8:53 pm

LesForMore

lalea...oooooooooo Baby!!!!

8:53 pm

firefly779

TADA!!! Sheesh - five darn words from having done it all sans any help whatsoever! Oh well - it was a good effort :) Thanks for holding my hand Jacula!

Kalea I mean..

8:53 pm

mousey is the grandson of one of our babblers......he is very smart for his age

8:54 pm

relarion

woohoo firefly!

8:54 pm

yogalatte

fo8 anyone. thanks

8:54 pm

lbdawger

whoo hoo firelfly

8:54 pm

Jacula

SMD - Ah, mousey. Mousey is, we are told, the 8-year-old grandchild of a regular Babbler. However, mousey has at times been 35 and spells and makes sentences far more mature than any 8-year-old. Make your own mind up.

8:54 pm

kalea

there is no 8

8:54 pm

lbdawger

no fo8 yoga

8:54 pm

firefly779

yoga - no 8's today...fo are 4 or 5 long

8:55 pm

Smdnjv

Mousey is not only very smart, he is very entertaining. He reminds me of one of my grandsons. He seems to have a sense of humor beyond his years.

8:55 pm

relarion

lb, your icon is making me hungry

8:55 pm

yogalatte

oops, meant the fo4/8 thx

8:55 pm

Jacula

Well done, firefly. What WAS your last t.4? Clue it, don't TELL me.

8:55 pm

featherbee

lol jac

8:55 pm

kalea

fo4....the ex pres who just died

8:56 pm

firefly779

Jac - um, duhhh :) it was the last word in the list

8:56 pm

Jacula

Mousey can also be a 'troll' at times.

8:56 pm

yogalatte

thx kalea - why can't i see this stuff?

8:56 pm

Jacula

firelfy - Oh, the nice surprise without the middle 'a'?

8:56 pm

kalea

lol yoga.....it's the easy ones that are hardest

8:56 pm

lbdawger

whoo hoo Min, you completed whist i was away

8:57 pm

firefly779

yoga - it was tricky today, don't be too hard on yourself :) too many consonants I say

8:57 pm

lbdawger

yeah, i hate it when i miss the easy 4's

8:57 pm

firefly779

yes Jacs, that's the one!

8:57 pm

featherbee

down to 22 left here!

8:57 pm

lbdawger

go feather!

8:57 pm

featherbee

going to grab the list. brb

8:59 pm

Smdnjv

Jac - I prefer to believe that Mousey is very young. I do not think a 35 year old could be as entertaining as any youth. He so reminds me of my middle grandson. He too has a sense of humor that is solely his. Mousey's sense of humor is unique. Even if he is a troll at times.

9:00 pm

Jacula

feather - just ask if you need.

9:00 pm

firefly779

I'm outtie - kudos to the finishers, and here's to hoping for a BIG one on Monday :) hehehehehe

9:00 pm

featherbee

k, i will!

9:00 pm

kalea

be back later, folks..........got some writing to finish up

9:00 pm

Jacula

SMD - I remain uncertain on that one.

9:00 pm

lbdawger

i tend to think mousey is a youngster. don't usually have adults acting like trolls.

9:00 pm

Smdnjv

when someone "grabs the list" do they print it or bring it up on another screen as I do? Still learning!!

9:00 pm

lbdawger

firefly, you and LoriP are going to be haunted by a long list of re's!

9:01 pm

featherbee

i personally bring it up on the firefox sidebar

9:01 pm

lbdawger

smd, i use a second window when i get the list.

9:01 pm

Smdnjv

LOL ibd and Jac. You make me laugh.

9:01 pm

featherbee

wow, i've monkeyed some good ones here

9:01 pm

firefly779

lbd - yeah, probably ;) LoriP wants a big grid too? I prefer them over the 150 types

9:01 pm

Jacula

If I get either BJ's or Lickety's list I copy & paste it into 'notepad' and then bring it up over the chatlog.

9:02 pm

Smdnjv

thanks ibd. that is what I do but it takes me forever to look up a word when someone asks for a clue.

9:02 pm

Jacula

I didn't use a list today. I try not to use a list until I'm at least 3/4 or even 9/10 through a grid.

9:02 pm

pbr

I have just one word left - re7/32 help pls.

9:02 pm

featherbee

my goal is usually half way at least, more if possible

9:03 pm

featherbee

cr6/21?

9:03 pm

lbdawger

me too smd. taking forever that is to find the word needed.

9:03 pm

Smdnjv

re + viagra!! Yes I do learn clues quickly!!

9:03 pm

lbdawger

re7, build again pbr

9:03 pm

Jacula

cr6/21 - see lbd's icon.

9:03 pm

lbdawger

lol smd, you'll fit in fine here! lol

9:04 pm

featherbee

oh right, it's friday!

9:04 pm

Smdnjv

didn't I notice a nun playing the other day? I have a wicked sense of humor and I do not want to offend anyone.

9:05 pm

Jacula

SMD - eventually, on here, you do learn the shorthand clues as you do with cryptic crosswords. If you see us talking about 'the Sicilian volcano', for instance, it means 'etna' is in the grid again.

9:05 pm

Jacula

A nun?

9:06 pm

featherbee

yeah, i think that aloysius? sorry if i spelled it wrong, or even got the wrong person

9:06 pm

lbdawger

nun? who?

9:06 pm

Jacula

Don't know of any nuns in here, but the nuns I have known all have a great sense of humour anyway.

9:06 pm

pam

scrabbler is a nun and pediatrician who is funny and very open-minded on chat

9:06 pm

Jacula

Aloy - a nun?

9:06 pm

Smdnjv

I could be wrong about her being a nun. She lives in Canada I think but maybe just in the ministry.

9:07 pm

featherbee

ahh, no it was scrabbler maybe. bahh, i don't know!

9:07 pm

Jacula

Scabbler is a nun? Well, pam. I never knew that.

9:07 pm

pam

and someone else, I forget who, is in a theology program to be an episcopal priest...

9:07 pm

LesForMore

aren't we all nuns in some sense of the word?

9:07 pm

pbr

lbdawger - got it! thx -- doing the fireworks

9:07 pm

pam

yes, scrabbler mentioned it last week or the week before

9:07 pm

Jacula

It won't change the way I speak to her though. Like I said, all of the nuns I have known are more 'wordly' than most folks give them credit for.

9:07 pm

featherbee

shoot, i don't have either as "my friends" so i can't check

9:07 pm

lbdawger

whoo hoo PBR!

9:08 pm

pam

LOL, jac

9:08 pm

featherbee

yay pbr!

9:08 pm

pam

yay, pbr

9:08 pm

Smdnjv

Yes Scrabbler, that is who I thought was/is a nun!

9:08 pm

pam

you know, feather, I never set up the my friends thing,,, often wondered about that, then didn't, lololol

9:08 pm

lbdawger

Aloy and scrabbler...neither would be offended by much. at least they both seem really easy going and open minded

9:09 pm

Jacula

Well,Scrabbler IS on my 'Friends' list - she is doing pasotral studies.

9:09 pm

LesForMore

gotta go for a while...stay loose!

9:09 pm

lbdawger

and i think in a public chat like this you have to be open minded or find another forum.

9:09 pm

lbdawger

later Les. hope to see you more often!

9:09 pm

featherbee

i just every now and then add people who i remember seeing around a lot.

9:10 pm

Jacula

Oh dear, pam, I meand worldly, not wordly. LOL. Same thing though on Babble.

9:10 pm

pam

it's a good idea!

9:10 pm

pam

lolololol, jac

9:10 pm

featherbee

8 to go and counting...

9:10 pm

Smdnjv

I know lots of catholics and they are a lot of fun to party with. There is a Priest on one of the Board of Directors I serve on and I know two Nuns personally. All of them have a good time and enjoy life thoroughly.

9:11 pm

Jacula

I once read a saying, Les - if you are too open-minded your brains will fall out.

9:11 pm

Jacula

Guess that's why we 'older' folks forget so many things! LOL.

9:11 pm

Smdnjv

LOL Jac!! Never heard that one!!

9:12 pm

Jacula

The nerd in me also thought, 'brainS? You only have one brain.'

9:12 pm

Smdnjv

Maybe it is the cells that fall out!!

9:13 pm

Jacula

Probably, Les.

9:13 pm

lbdawger

i know you loose iq points for every child you have or have around for any amount of time! lol

9:13 pm

Jacula

Sorry, I meant SMD.

9:13 pm

Jacula

See what I mean?

9:13 pm

Jacula

LOL

9:13 pm

Jacula

AARGH!

9:16 pm

Jacula

lbd - when I had my first child, a son, I asked my midwife why I felt so 'scatty'. She told me, 'Don't worry! It's common when a woman has a son. It's the build up of testosterone. It'll settle in 2 weeks or so.' She was mostly right. When I had my daughter 3 years on I was bright and compos mentis afterwards.

9:17 pm

Jacula

Dunno what happened after that though.:((

9:17 pm

evanonut

my oh my jac attack, i don't know about scatty, but you sure look chatty

9:18 pm

lbdawger

it's all the time being mom that did it. having to be on call 24/7, no rest...always having to be there...

9:23 pm

Jacula

And then, before you know it, as many parents my own age and older, told me at the funeral gathering I was at earlier, 'It's gone in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, they are... and you are...'. There were people from 10-years' of age up to almost 92-years' of age at that gathering. Every decade and generation was represented at my 92-year old Grandad-in-Law's funeral. He was born in 1914. Had 7 children, 16 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren (so far). Eldest gt-grandchild is my son, 2nd, my daughter. Youngest - Sam's little Maisie - a Down's child.

9:24 pm

Jacula

She make a great but cheerful racket during the Humanist service earlier.

9:25 pm

Jacula

Thank God I didn't see her Mum ramming a soft toy into her mouth long enough to shut her up but not long enough to stop her breathing. My son only told me about that later. They were directly behind us right by the coffin.

9:26 pm

Jacula

There were far too many instances of both laughter and tears ther anyway! No one needed me giggling at Sam and Maisie.

9:26 pm

Jacula

Well done, feather!

9:28 pm

Jacula

If I'd have giggled at Maisie, I'd have set her off more and her Mum, too.

9:29 pm

lbdawger

i know my stepson drove me over the edge at times and my grandson definitely was making me crazy during the holidays!

9:29 pm

Jacula

At least I didn't have a silly hat on this time, like I did a P's mate's wedding... the hat set the little kiddy behind me off giggling and trying to snatch it off.

9:30 pm

specificity

I have 6 REs and 2 ROs... anyone know what I'm missing?

9:30 pm

lbdawger

oh dear, i think that would have set me off giggling too

9:30 pm

specificity

uhm, 4 REs, rather

9:31 pm

lbdawger

you have way too many re's and not enough ro's

9:31 pm

3 ro's spec

9:32 pm

specificity

w00t, fireworks!!! thanks, muchly

9:32 pm

lbdawger

whoo hooo spec

9:33 pm

Jacula

lbd - It was like 'The Ex Wives' Club' at that funeral. So many of us there, one of whom did have a sillly hat on. My ex-pa-in-law upset her by saying so. I'd thought same, but didn't tell her so. I just hugged her, a lovely Geordie I'd missed seeing over the years, and she me.

9:35 pm

lbdawger

other than the silly hat, i'm glad you got to see your friend. "Geordie"?

9:37 pm

Jacula

Oh, and I did think that on the occasion of his father's funeral at least, my ex-hubby's uncle (who is only 3 years' older than him) MIGHT refrain from asking me to marry him. He did! GHis proposal this time was far more earthy.:((

9:39 pm

Jacula

I remember the first time I was introduced to that side of my 'boyfriend's (as he then was) family, his uncle had said, 'Are you serious about her? If not I wnat her!'

9:39 pm

yogalatte

yippee fireworks for the 2nd time!! thx for the hel;

9:39 pm

Jacula

He's never married. Was the last one left at home in the end caring for elderly parents.

9:39 pm

yogalatte

help i mean

9:40 pm

Jacula

But, every time he meets me, he asks me to marry him in front of evryone.

9:40 pm

Jacula

I love him, as a family member. But I won't be marrying him. I love my Paul.

9:41 pm

lbdawger

whoo hooo yoga!

9:42 pm

lbdawger

yogalatte! i love your icon!

9:42 pm

Jacula

I wish I could 'make the fairy story' but... well, life's not always like that, is it? I've got a love I fell in love with and he me when we were just 4-years-old.... It took us both a long time to work out... maybe not.

9:44 pm

Jacula

We have both moved on now. I hope my ex's uncle will also do so. The only person I wanted by my side at the funeral, even though I was surrounded by friendly family, was my new other half.

9:44 pm

Jacula

I felt alone without him.

9:45 pm

Jacula

Am I gabbling on here?

9:45 pm

Jacula

I'll shut up! LOL

9:47 pm

Jacula

How funny! I've got an Elton John cd on in my headphones right now. 'You're The One' came up as I was posting.

9:47 pm

lbdawger

it sounds like you need the time to share jac. nothing wrong with that

9:48 pm

Jacula

Love yogalette's squished pig icon, btw!

9:48 pm

Jacula

lbd - Yes, but am I saying too much?

9:49 pm

lbdawger

i don't know about too much. It's how you feel and how much you want to share jac.

9:50 pm

Smdnjv

I, personally think when a person is so much in love that there isn

9:51 pm

evanonut

you're still gabbling, yes jac

9:51 pm

Smdnjv

oops I did it again. Was saying when someone is in love, there is not enough that can be said.

9:51 pm

Jacula

lbd - I think you asked earlier what a 'Geordie' is? It is someone from the Newcastle-Upon-Tyne area.

9:51 pm

Enci

middle ro 4?

9:52 pm

Jacula

Evan - gabbling if my fo4/7 plus a vowel!

9:53 pm

evanonut

going to bed now...ya'll have a marvy night

9:55 pm

Jacula

SMD - dopn't say'oops, I did it again' or I'll be 'forced' to recall the image of my 11/12 yr old daugher in an orange mini dress and a pair of my (too big for her) black suede boots, dancing around on her bed singing that Gina G. song. Daugher 'hates' me for remembering walking in on that. LOL.

9:56 pm

lbdawger

night nutty, I'm calling it a night too! see you all tomorrow!

9:57 pm

Jacula

Did Britney Spear do that song? I know it was a Gina G song I caught my daughter doing.

Fireowrks- thanks for the clues!

9:58 pm

Smdnjv

I keep on doing that. It is driving me crazy. I am typing in the dark. Everyone else is in bed aslleep.

9:58 pm

Jacula

Yup. Just checked cd's - It was Gina G's 'Just A Little Bit' I caught her performing!

9:59 pm

i love my Laptop, but the keyboard is way too easy to "Fatfinger."

10:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

yogalette - where in nj are you from?

10:01 pm

Smdnjv

I have six grandchildren. Each is very entertaining in their own unique way. All are different as night and day, even the siblings.

10:03 pm

Jacula

SMD - I have no granchildren yet, even though many younger than me in my family do.

10:04 pm

Jacula

But the circle of life is so short! I think at least 18 people said that to me today.

10:04 pm

Smdnjv

One grandson was adopted from Siberia, and one granddaughter was adopted from Moscow. All three grandsons, as well as there dads, (my sons) have the most beautiful brown eyes. The granddaughters all have blue eyes that arrive in the room 5 minutes before the rest of the body. Their eyes are the first thing people notice about them.

10:04 pm

Jacula

LOL, re the blue eyes, SMD.

10:04 pm

Jacula

Know what you mean. My other half has those eyes, too.

10:05 pm

Smdnjv

It is true!! You can easily get lost in the blue of their eyes.

10:06 pm

Jacula

My ex-hubby's wife has a daughter adopoted from South America. She is growing up to be a beautiful woman, both physically and as a person.

10:07 pm

Smdnjv

All three grandson's will probably be rocket scientists or something just a great. The giirls will be princesses.....Wild Indian princesses that is.

10:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

good night, all

10:09 pm

Smdnjv

We look like the UN when we have family get togethers. Two nieces adopted from China, a nephew adopted from Mexico, a niece and nephew from Guatemala.....they have the most beautiful hair.

10:09 pm

Jacula

Ex's 2nd wife was once a Joan Collins lookalike, but not quite, once you get to know her. Her daughter has same features but magnified in some way. Daughter, maybe due to suicidal father who succeeded in his aim, is the most nasty, difficult and desperate person you could meet, so my kids tell me.

10:09 pm

Smdnjv

nitey nite TO.

10:10 pm

Jacula

Both kids tell me she is 'ugly'. I ask why. They say, it comes from inside her.

10:10 pm

Jacula

That is so sad!

10:11 pm

Jacula

Night, TO.

10:12 pm

Smdnjv

that really is sad. Such a legacy for a dad to leave his children, grandchildren and on and on. You know she has to be concerned about inheritint that suicidal tendency.

10:13 pm

Jacula

SMD - She's made sure he'll be having no more children. She's 51 - a year older than me.

10:13 pm

Jacula

Mean't she'll be having no more

10:14 pm

Smdnjv

I have had bouts of depression, as have several of my ancestors. but I have sought treatment for it. I have a sister that is, at times, a totally different person. I know she has the same sort of depression that I have had, but I can't convince her to seek help. She has three daughters who have all but given up on her.

10:16 pm

Jacula

Help must be taken! Not that I ever have, LOL. Well, when one of your kids goes into therapy, first blame they look for is one of The Parents.

10:16 pm

Smdnjv

I have been treated and I am enjoying life to the fullest. I take medication, but it is the least I can do for myself and my family.

10:17 pm

FranMag

hello everyone!

10:17 pm

Jacula

We BOTH need therapy maybe, but that's neiither of our ways of working things out.Another 5 years of self-therapy and we'll both be fine.

10:17 pm

Jacula

Hah!

10:17 pm

Smdnjv

My parent were totally unsupportive of my seeking help. they never had a "down" day in their life. Nope, can't blame it on my parents.

10:18 pm

Jacula

Hi Franmag. Sent your Crete thingey on Thursday. Let me know when you get it.

10:18 pm

FranMag

hi jac! i will, thanks again!

10:19 pm

I always heard that mental illness is inherited! You get it from your kids. LOL. Mine have sure tested my sanity at times.

10:19 pm

does anyone have the re 7?

10:19 pm

FranMag

shannon, make upright again

10:19 pm

Jacula

\SMD - neither of us had any hesitation about seeking help for our anorexic daughter who was only 4 stone in weight. \Put your daughter in a nuthouse for 3 or 4 years.

10:19 pm

Smdnjv

re + viagra reaction

10:19 pm

Jacula

re7 = to build again.

10:20 pm

Shannon1

ty. 3 more.

10:21 pm

Jacula

Put your daughter in a nuthouse and damage her more, but at leat she is still alive to be angry and grumpy with you.

10:21 pm

Smdnjv

Jac I can think of nothing harder to do. My youngest son has been hospitalized a couple of times but I was right there with him.

10:22 pm

Jacula

My daughter was the sweetest baby and toddler and child up to 10. Then her Dad left.

10:22 pm

Jacula

He blames himself.

10:22 pm

Jacula

I tell him not to.

10:22 pm

FranMag

go shannon!

10:22 pm

Jacula

I thinnk anoraxia is a physical thing.

10:23 pm

Jacula

Phyrical and mental chemical problem. Maybe brought on by Dad leaving but would have happened at some point in her life anyway.

10:24 pm

Shannon1

done!

10:24 pm

Smdnjv

blame is such an easy assignment. I am just happy your daughter is still alive to tell her story.

10:24 pm

FranMag

my younger sister and my older half-sister both have mental health issues

10:24 pm

FranMag

yay shannon!

10:24 pm

Jacula

One of my nephews wifes sister (16 years old) died yesterday. Anorexia.

10:26 pm

NatLT

uh oh, fran we are doing it again

10:26 pm

FranMag

nat!! same picture even!

10:26 pm

Jacula

Fran - it's so hard, isn't it? It's still a thing neighbours whisper about. we live in a small village - gossip abounds. You can't do anything without someone noticing it her and reporteing it to someone else, and then a member of your family eithr calling round or ringing you to ask..

10:26 pm

NatLT

I know

10:26 pm

FranMag

that's sad SMD.

10:26 pm

NatLT

I got on earlier and picked the first word I found for my icon

10:27 pm

FranMag

natasha, look at jac's icon clue

10:27 pm

Smdnjv

Yes it is sad. Parents had hospitalized her a couple of days before, but the anorexia had taken it

10:28 pm

Jacula

In my village - some kids saw my daughter getting far too thin and others just thought she's disappeared. A teacher from her school, who knew what was actually happening, came to our house and asked for permission to tell the truth in Assembly.... rumours were she was pregnant, and also had AIDS. GOD!

10:29 pm

Smdnjv

well there she goes again. I am going to have to relocate the "enter" key to China. Was saying Anorexia had taken it's toll on her.

10:29 pm

Jacula

She said, 'Fu**! Just telll them the truth, if they are that nosey!'

10:29 pm

Jacula

I don't think it was nosey, totally. This is a caring village.

10:30 pm

FranMag

jac, it was kind of hard to hide my sister's illness, during her first psychotic break she left the house through a window and went to the neighbor's house to "warn" them of whatever thing was bothering her at the time.

10:30 pm

Natasha

thanks fran

10:30 pm

Smdnjv

Odd how people can take a situation and totally turn it into something else. But the real shame comes from the people who listen to and repeat the rumors without even trying to check the facts.

10:31 pm

FranMag

yw natasha!

10:31 pm

Jacula

SMD - I am so sorry about your los of the 26-yr-old. Such an unneccessary waste of life.

10:32 pm

Jacula

Meant 16-yr old. Sorry!

10:32 pm

Jacula

Knackered here, but still can't sleep.

10:33 pm

Smdnjv

Thx Jac for the sympathy, but I did not really know the young lady. Her sister married my husbands nephew and moved here from Oklahoma. I never met her. But having lost a son, my heart goes out to her family.

10:34 pm

i'm getting addicted to this. i wonder if i'll keep it up when i get back to college.

well, if it does zabeth, i hope it doesn't cut into study time!

10:52 pm

Smdnjv

My Middle son lived in California for a while teaching at the University of California. I think he was in Pacific time zone there. He is now teaching in a Las Vegas college and I am unsure of the time zone there. Maybe Mountain time??

10:52 pm

zabeth

haha i have a sinking feeling that it will...

10:52 pm

FranMag

some babblers only babble on weekends or days off, you might have to limit yourself.

10:54 pm

zabeth

oh, you know college students. always trying to find ways to waste time or procrastinate. or lose sleep.

10:54 pm

zabeth

at least this is mind-enriching.

10:55 pm

FranMag

not sure smd, can't find las vegas on my world clock

10:55 pm

FranMag

zabeth, i remember staying up all night to do projects in college, just can't do that anymore

zabeth

mm. i've never pulled an all nighter, but i've come close.

10:58 pm

Smdnjv

Fran ,, I am in Central time Zone and he is two hours behind. I could probably google it and find out, but he will call tomorrow and I can ask him. He is still single and loves his Mommy very much! Weekend call is a regular.

10:58 pm

FranMag

i did the most important presentation of the semester on 2 hours of sleep.

10:58 pm

FranMag

that's nice SMD

10:58 pm

Smdnjv

thx zabeth. Where do you attend college??

10:59 pm

zabeth

tufts, in boston

10:59 pm

Smdnjv

Wow!! Majoring in??

10:59 pm

FranMag

my team members totally let me down, i had to answer all the questions. luckily, i knew it inside and out and the answers just came out of my mouth somehow.

11:00 pm

zabeth

hmmm...i'm a freshman and have lots of time to decide, but as of now it looks like psychology

11:00 pm

tag471

I am in Pacific time zone... it is 9 PM..

11:00 pm

zabeth

fran...that sounds horrific

11:00 pm

zabeth

but way to go you for managing!

11:01 pm

FranMag

heh, i changed my major when i was already at the end of sophomore year!

11:01 pm

FranMag

that's my excuse for taking an extra year. ;-)

11:01 pm

zabeth

sounds good to me

11:01 pm

zabeth

i can't believe first semester is already over. i don't feel like i've even started college

11:02 pm

FranMag

civil defense just broke into programming with a tsunami watch.

11:02 pm

FranMag

i guess there was an earthquake off the coast of Alaska

11:02 pm

Smdnjv

Nice....all my sons started out majoring in psychology but wound up changing their major in their sophomore year. Hope you stick it out. I was an accounting major myself and it is nothing but dull, dull, dull.

11:02 pm

Smdnjv

But I love it!!

11:04 pm

FranMag

smd, i started out in pre-engineering (math & science) and then switched to management/marketing, almost went for a third major in accounting, but that would have taken me another semester.

11:04 pm

zabeth

my grandmother is an accountant, smd. she went from being a math teacher to being a music teacher to being an accountant. things work themselves out in the end!

11:04 pm

FranMag

i really liked the accounting classes i took though.

11:04 pm

zabeth

i hadn't heard that about the tsunami, fran. hope everyone stays safe!

11:05 pm

FranMag

no tsunami yet, they're just on the lookout for one. ever since the south asia one they're very careful.

11:05 pm

NatLT

11 more, 55 min, I think I can I think I can

11:06 pm

zabeth

i think you can too.

11:06 pm

FranMag

interestingly enough zabeth, those three topics actually utilize a lot of the same skills (math, music & accounting)

11:06 pm

Smdnjv

I loved the accounting classes and my professors. I do not care for public accounting so I am working with contracts for a large company. Still love the accounting.

11:06 pm

FranMag

go nat!!

11:07 pm

o2baflyndog

good evening, babblers!

11:07 pm

FranMag

hi flyndog!

11:07 pm

o2baflyndog

read back a little, I hope the tsunami watch is not fruitful for the watchers

11:08 pm

FranMag

i had an awesome accounting professor, norma joiner, she was former military and a lot of people didn't like her style, but i enjoyed her classes so much.

11:08 pm

FranMag

me too flyndog!

11:09 pm

o2baflyndog

I lived in HI for a couple of years back in the 70's and they didn't announce tsunami watches back then... kinda scary!

11:11 pm

FranMag

they're being pretty good about it now, especially after a scare a couple of months ago that caused a rush on emergency supplies. someone had started a rumour that there was a tsunami on the way.

11:13 pm

zabeth

emergency supplies...like duct tape and bottled water? i've always wondered what the duct tape was for.

11:13 pm

o2baflyndog

duct tape is for EVERYTHING!! =)

11:14 pm

zabeth

hahahaha

11:14 pm

NatLT

ok last one, ne 5/12?

11:15 pm

NatLT

strike that ...5/10

11:15 pm

FranMag

well, when i lived in Guam which got hit with typhoons at least 3 times a year, the tape was for the windows to keep them from shattering.

11:15 pm

FranMag

FranMag

and since i still think i'm 24, we're probably twins separated at birth.

11:21 pm

o2baflyndog

oh, yours was fine, it did the trick... just an odd word, would have taken a lot of monkeying around

11:23 pm

o2baflyndog

11:23 pm

FranMag

re7/32 is to make upright again
