1:16 am

mrpresident

everything is wrong.
we are selling our house now... that is how wrong it is going

1:16 am

herinfernallady

OH MR PRES hugs

1:17 am

lynxxx

oh shoot...thats awful MRP...what a way to end a rotten year

1:17 am

mrpresident

I feel sick. But, better to sell it than lose it. Stupid thing is, I can't clean or pack or do anything! I am feeling useless and lickety is going to do everything. That poor guy has had enough I am sure.

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

so very sorry to hear mrp

1:18 am

herinfernallady

I dont know what to say Mr PRes, Hugs

1:18 am

mrpresident

I didn't understand what people meant when saying that financial stress and selling a house where the main cause of divorce! Now I get it!!

1:19 am

lynxxx

Been through that crap MRP so can sympathise. It can only take a couple of years to get back to the same place so take heart

1:19 am

mrpresident

ah, is ok... at least we are walking away with good $$$ and our sanity intact.
Just have to find a house to live in now... shit shit shit

1:20 am

sprite

just popping in before breakfast with kids... you and lickety will be fine, mrP! You have lived through worse. But this is a shitty shitty time!

1:20 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres if it makes you feel a smidge better but in the 80s we sold our home in the hills in Sydney we lost everything to bankruptcy , This year December 15th my parents will celebrate 40 years together

1:20 am

lynxxx

If you can treat yourself to a nice rental for a while. It certainly lifts one spirits

1:21 am

mymuseisme

(((((mrp))))), sorry to hear the news, but hope it's the silver lining that leads to better things. And don't feel bad, your kids can help out; I'm sure Lickety is focused on your continued mending and does not want you to jeopardize that by doing foolish things

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

try to think of it as a planned mini vacation ...

1:21 am

mrpresident

thanks guys! bear with us through this 'shitty time' indeed!
A rental will be delightful compared to a mortgage in this god-forsaken city!

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

don't let your mind make you feel like a victim; claim the victory of being the one to make sound decisions amidst the crap

1:22 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres is city moving possible? Suburb moving etc I know how friggen expensive your end of town is

1:22 am

mrpresident

I am not allowed to do anything but pick up the phone and organise cleaners and inspections and all that stuff.

1:23 am

sprite

very good, mrP! You be the central organiser and let the others do the physical stuff :)

1:23 am

herinfernallady

holly crap the house i grew up next doors house is renting out for $1000 a week?

1:23 am

mrpresident

infern, I am considering moving out of the country!! LOL... I am sure there is a nice house in Chicago or perhaps the Netherlands would be nice this time of year :))

1:24 am

sprite

the Netherlands are great, the Netherlands are great! (quickly hides the autumn weather and the winter weather). We will make you feel at home in a sec!

1:25 am

herinfernallady

YOu can stay at my house/

1:25 am

mrpresident

Our end of town is way expensive.... it wasn't 8 years ago when we bought, but is has gotten crazy!

1:25 am

Andree

reading chat, so sorry mrp, keep up your spirits, so easy for me to say its only bricks and mortar because ofcourse your home is more than that

1:25 am

mrpresident

oh thanks infern! I think I might kill your housemates thou! LOL

1:25 am

herinfernallady

Actually i think this home for rent may be my old home

1:26 am

Andree

but you are made of stern stuff and you and yours will get through this together

1:26 am

lynxxx

I think thats why she is inviting you ('cept the BF of course)

1:26 am

sprite

*big hug* for MrP and Lickety and the P-lets, have to be off to kids now but will be back later.

1:26 am

lynxxx

Hi, bye Sprite

1:26 am

mrpresident

yes andree, it is our home for a long time, but it is now a barnacle on the bottom of our boat. Time to get out.

1:27 am

mrpresident

bye sprite! (hugs)

1:28 am

joso

Mr P I hate dealing with all the phone/organize/comp search crap you will be dealing with. I'd much rather fill a box, load a van. I'm sure lickey will apreasiate the help. I'ts not as rewarding in that you see very little for what you've done, no great heap of boxes filled, but it's very real help

1:28 am

Andree

at least you have made a sensible decision, my sister hung on so long she had no choice, bank sold house and she got nothing, she was very foolish

1:29 am

herinfernallady

head desk

1:29 am

herinfernallady

sod it im crying

1:29 am

mrpresident

yes joso! just clearing out what we have so far is refreshing. We will do ok.
Andree, we certainly didn't want to get to that situation! Would have been bad and sad

1:29 am

Andree

at least you can start over with a few $$$ in your pocket, you are being smart

1:30 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres http://tinyurl.com/yugz7y this was our home

1:33 am

Andree

if someone buys the house for rental, you may be able to stay?

1:33 am

mrpresident

nice home... bloody pricey!

1:34 am

mrpresident

we could stay yes, but could you imagine us as tenants!?
We could have alot of fun with them! "fix the balcony, fix the hotwater tank, fix the bathroom spa, fix the screen doors!" hahahaha

1:37 am

Andree

I rent because until [if ever] my business sells i cannot bring myself to get amorgage at my age and i could find a heap of things to fix around here if it was mine but it is amazing what can be overlooked when its not yours, so take heart mrp

1:38 am

herinfernallady

Yes it was never like that. its bloody stupid you have to move and im sitting here bawling my eyes out over something that happened 24 years ago. this was my home and i want it back but that is never going to happen as it looks like they hit the 1mill mark. The dumb thing is i knew it was my house as the pool table room hasnt changed. I used to sit there and watch the storms roll out over the mountains

1:39 am

lynxxx

the joys of renting! Hey MRP I did a great deal when I went back to rent, and like you had $$$s in the bank, paid for a years rent up front and got 15% off

1:39 am

mrpresident

good idea lynx!

1:39 am

Andree

top idea lynxxx

1:40 am

mrpresident

infern, the early 80's were a dark and terrible time in Sydney... interest rates were 18.5% !! alot of people made good money, but it all fell apart and alot of people lost everything.

1:41 am

bye bbnaz

Xanika

Checked out your old place, Herin. It looks very nice. I have a similar story about a home we had in Lorne, Victoria.

1:55 am

lynxxx

Infernal...I think we all have a strong attachment to the house we grow up in. I was horrified when my parents 'just' up and sold my childhood home, they had no such feelings though and were happy to move on

1:56 am

Xanika

My brother, sister and I have just repurchased our original home that my parents built in the 70s. (Not the one in Lorne)

1:57 am

lynxxx

Cute! what do your parents think about that?

1:58 am

Xanika

My Dad died last xmas, and my Mum is really happy about it. She is going to rent it from us when she sells the home she is currently in whcih is too huge for her on her own.

1:59 am

lynxxx

Thats a lovely thing to do for her...with the added benefit of lovely memories to have when you visit. Sorry about your Dad, your Mum sounds as though she is getting on with her life OK which is just great

2:00 am

Xanika

Yes. She loves the fact that we still have some memories for her to hang onto. It ws really odd looking back through that old house again. Nothing has changed. My room still has the wallpaper and brown marks left from my posters on the wall.

2:01 am

herinfernallady

My problem is it seems like it was all my fault. If my parents hadnt of had me then mum would have done the books properly then they wouldnt have been ripped off by dads business partner then we would have still had the place

2:01 am

lynxxx

Really! How long ago was it sold by your parents?

2:02 am

Xanika

Herin, you can't blame yourself! We all make mistakes!

2:02 am

Xanika

My parents sold it about 20 years ago.

2:03 am

lynxxx

Sorry Infernal - thats cr**. Not your fault, MRP was right - there was very very tough times in the 80s and your parents probably just got caught up in it!

2:03 am

Xanika

We lost our house in Lorne when Pyramid Building Society crashed. It was taken back by the bank and sold for peanuts!

2:04 am

Xanika

My parents lost a fortune too! It's really not fair!

2:04 am

lynxxx

See Infernal - a lot of people lost their money in the 80s...my husband and myself as well

2:05 am

Xanika

Yes, it was just a bloody awful time! Many good people lost heaps!

2:05 am

herinfernallady

We never lost the house due to the crashes or interest we lost the house due to tax freud

2:06 am

Xanika

That is crap!

2:07 am

Xanika

Did that make sense, herin? I just reread it and it could be misunderstood.

2:07 am

herinfernallady

I wonder if the tree is still there that tried to eat me

2:07 am

Xanika

I meant that I am really sorry for your family that that happened!

2:07 am

lynxxx

Infernal - you can bet your boots that it was all tied up together...didn't pay taxes because the money was used elsewhere etc....so many people were getting rich quick and then went belly-up...anyway NOTHING to do with you, you were a child!

2:08 am

Xanika

Well said, Lynxx

2:10 am

herinfernallady

it makes sense. My g.f bless her cotton socks went ROAD TRIP. I think it sucks that people still today are losing everything. It sucks jobs are casual you may as well sell your first born thrice over to buy a house. I am lucky to have soeone that cares for me and has a good job (touch wood on that since he wants to quit)

2:10 am

herinfernallady

At least i can say i was a wanted kid parents waited for 9 years to adopt me and i bet your last cent they would lose everything to have had me

2:11 am

herinfernallady

and this grid is little sucks you in then bites you on the arse

2:11 am

lynxxx

Infernal...it is very hard to get onto that first rung of the ladder. I'll hug a whole tree for you, good luck with the BF.

Hi CoolGirl - 103 6*18 7*1

3:43 am

dcseain

hi, cool girl

3:43 am

cool girl

thanks well thankyou

3:43 am

hydra

I must tell you, folks, I'm working on a very interesting project and you can take a look. It's the memoir of a policeman who was wrongly jailed, and his website is www.afaircop.co.uk

3:43 am

FranMag

back...did hydra give away any good ones while i was gone?

3:44 am

FranMag

:-)

3:44 am

hydra

No, just a little word, Fran.

3:45 am

dcseain

ty hydra, i will read, and possibly repost, if that's cool?

3:45 am

FranMag

looks like it will be interesting hydra, are you ghostwriting?

3:47 am

hydra

No, I'm editing it for him. Working on it about 7 hours a day and should have it finished today if I don't spend too long babbling. It's being published early next year.

3:47 am

hydra

Yeah, cool, dc.

3:47 am

herinfernallady

Hydra i have book marked it

3:47 am

dcseain

thx, sounds very interesting, i look forward to reading it more thoroughly

3:48 am

hydra

The book's a real eye-opener about what it's really like inside a British jail. Not good!

3:49 am

FranMag

you'll have to remind us all about the book in May

3:49 am

FranMag

especially for a cop i would think!

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Hydra did he do that or was that done to hi

3:49 am

herinfernallady

him?

3:49 am

dcseain

yes, do remind us when published, pls

3:49 am

hydra

Too right.

3:51 am

FranMag

hello, i JUST now saw the gu4. *bonk*

3:51 am

hydra

Sorry, infernal, what do you mean?

3:51 am

lynxxx

It only took me an hour to see that!

3:52 am

herinfernallady

I am lost. Why did that man go to jail did he attack someone or did someone attack him and he was deffending himself

3:52 am

FranMag

whew! i'm glad i wasn't alone on that one lynxxx. :-)

3:52 am

dcseain

lynxxx, an hour to see...a word?

3:52 am

lynxxx

C - no, the gu4.8 - it wasn't obvious enough!

3:53 am

hydra

Oh, I see, infernal! He was restraining a captive when things turned. The criminal got him in a headlock and started punching him, another officer sprayed CS gas which got in his eyes, and he kicked the criminal who then sued him for assault!

3:53 am

dcseain

oh, yeah, took me more than an hour to notice it :)

3:53 am

herinfernallady

thats crap

3:53 am

dcseain

cops don't qualify for self-defence in britain?

3:53 am

herinfernallady

sorry i was lost and trying to work it out. I am suprised the judge didnt pif it out

3:54 am

dcseain

sigh

3:54 am

hydra

Yes, it was. I feel so sorry for him. He's a sensitive sort of guy and didn't take well to prison at all. The judge was trying to make some kind of point about police being too heavy handed with crims.

3:54 am

dcseain

indeed, lady, though neither law nor judges always make sense.

3:55 am

hydra

Well, I'm halfway thru the grid, so I'd better go back to page 220! See you later.

3:55 am

FranMag

bye hydra! thanks for sharing

3:55 am

dcseain

Uniquity

I've always had one or two people in my specific class with my name.

6:21 am

Uniquity

It drives me nuts.

6:21 am

herinfernallady

Hi Uni

6:21 am

carleekat

i grew up with a girl who had a similar name to me... all through grade school...all through high school... and we hated eachother

6:21 am

Uniquity

G'morning :)

6:22 am

carleekat

and teachers ALWAYS mixed us up

6:22 am

Uniquity

My best friend's name is two letters off from me, one letter in sound. We got mixed up a lot.

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Sorry i am still upset about my old home being rented for $900 a week

6:23 am

carleekat

900.00/ week?

6:23 am

Uniquity

Why is your old home being rented? I think I missed something.

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Sorry brain skip. I was doodling about online and i saw the house i was raised in as a kid being rented

6:26 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/2ulwlv

6:28 am

Uniquity

I just realized the week part of that statement. That price blows my wee little Nova Scotian mind.

6:28 am

carleekat

had a hot tub and an indoor pool?

6:29 am

herinfernallady

no

6:30 am

Uniquity

Looks pretty.

6:30 am

carleekat

huge renos to the home then since u were there

6:30 am

herinfernallady

No it was a basic house when i lived there the only reason i reckonised it is the view from the games room

6:31 am

herinfernallady

It was a beatiful home I think the reason i am so damn upset is that everything my dad ever built is all ripped out and replaced with manifactured crap y dads a carpenter mechanic

6:31 am

Uniquity

Oh...I definitely understand the pain then.

6:31 am

carleekat

ah....yes..that would be hugely upsetting

6:32 am

herinfernallady

Yes huge renos including some greedy arse buying the land and subdividing it. I just noticed that the view from the games room has a roof- a roof that was a view that went on forever. There was a pool in the back yard when we left

6:33 am

Uniquity

Sometimes you just want to never find out what greed destroyed

6:33 am

Uniquity

Sometimes you just want to never find out what greed destroyed

6:33 am

herinfernallady

But you know what how cares now its a house and it seems silly to be a sook

6:34 am

Uniquity

Houses create too many mmories for me to not care about them...I am highly emotional about things like that

6:35 am

herinfernallady

Carlee this shall give you a giggle you know my dress the cat pulled out of the garbage bag?

6:36 am

herinfernallady

I put it up on the top shelf away from her and she climbed up there and slept on it.

6:36 am

carleekat

6:38 am

herinfernallady

Yep but it was on the top shelf

6:39 am

carleekat

7:11 am

carleekat

7:11 am

Scarlet

Lucky you... I can barely see the grid. How are you, kat?

7:11 am

Aloyisius

Top of the morning to you, Scarlet.. second cup here. the newest pic is in my profile.. for some reason, it won't go into my icon..

7:11 am

joso

hi scar

7:12 am

carleekat

i could barely see the grid myself when I started....am ok red... a bit down..but not out

7:13 am

carleekat

how was the game?

7:13 am

Scarlet

I found it yesterday when I came back after dinner, Aloy...(the newer pix), but if you have another, I will wait to see it. She is precious beyond words!

7:13 am

Aloyisius

sending good vibes your way, carlee..

7:13 am

Scarlet

Hey joso!! kat... down, why? Hard visit in London?

7:13 am

carleekat

just....tired down I think....

7:14 am

Scarlet

Is there something I can do for you, kattie dear?

7:14 am

carleekat

trade places for a few days?

7:15 am

Scarlet

Gladyly, sweetheart... you and beloved will get along famously!

7:16 am

Scarlet

He already thinks the world of you...

7:16 am

carleekat

smooshy hug to beloved....

7:16 am

Scarlet

You got it! :-)

7:17 am

Aloyisius

oh my, fireworks.. learned some newbies today too.. does anyone need a clue? I'm not quite ready to go!

7:17 am

carleekat

<hehehe that was a funny episode > <POMPOM TWIST> to aloy

7:17 am

Scarlet

Congratulations, Aloy...you know that the baby's name is in the grid? Great start to a Monday!!

7:17 am

flosey

yes please aloy, mi5 - first one

7:18 am

Scarlet

Good morning, flosey.

7:18 am

Aloyisius

what a cat says, flosey

7:18 am

flosey

morning Scarlet

7:18 am

flosey

oh, thanks

7:18 am

Aloyisius

lol, Scarlet.. you are right!

7:18 am

carleekat

so how was the game red?

7:19 am

Scarlet

My daughter had to go away for the weekend, and I am kittie-sitting her four-month old beauty... what a busy weekend with a high-energy, sweet animal!

7:19 am

Aloyisius

yw, flosey.. going to pour another cup and maybe someone else will need a clue.. aww, Scarlet.. what does the kitty look like?

7:20 am

carleekat

kittens are so much fun.... if u have an old feather boas kicking around that you don't care about....give to the kitten...she'll love it

7:20 am

Scarlet

The game was, finally, a good one, kat, but Boston was just too good... I had hoped the Rockies might be spared the shame of being swept... but no go. My very favorite BoSox player, Mike Lowell, was named series' Most Valuable Player!

7:21 am

Aloyisius

Becket just amazes me.. the BoSox pitcher..

7:21 am

carleekat

very cool..... we were at hockey... then driving home..i missed the whole thing... mind our hockey game was really fun and exciting

7:21 am

Aloyisius

I really think they deserved to win, and I'm a Tribe fan!

7:22 am

EspritdJean

is the world series over?

7:22 am

Scarlet

She is predominantly black with white back legs, black front legs, and gigantic, long white whiskers... she has little tufts of white fur coming from her ears, and a very furry black tail... a mutt-cat, but so pretty!!

7:22 am

Aloyisius

yes, Jean.. Boston Red Sox won

7:22 am

EspritdJean

ah ty

7:22 am

Scarlet

They were all amazing, EJ, and Boston is the King of the World now...

7:22 am

carleekat

does she have long fur on her toes red?

7:23 am

Aloyisius

sounds so pretty, Scarlet.. striking!

7:23 am

Scarlet

Aloy, Beckett is the money pitcher and Pablebon is a machine!!

7:23 am

carleekat

or between toes?

7:23 am

Aloyisius

(baseball pun)

7:24 am

Aloyisius

they just played awesome baseball... got a kick out of the necklaces.. some looked like pop beads, others like leather belts, etc

7:24 am

flosey

can't get these im words, any clues please?

7:25 am

Scarlet

Yes, kat... and she will be a big one... she is really long now... and smart! Aloy, I really like the Tribe too...

7:25 am

EspritdJean

can't believe I have been that out of it that I knew nothing about the series

7:25 am

joso

im + twosome

7:25 am

flosey

ah, thanks joso

7:25 am

EspritdJean

im4/6 begins and ends with same vowel

7:25 am

joso

im + white face

7:25 am

Aloyisius

to put on a skewer, like to im6.24 the meat or ..

7:26 am

joso

im + internet address **

7:26 am

carleekat

she might have a bit of morwegian forest cat in her then... if her fur is sleek...and it looks like her hips taller then her shoulders...if so, your daughter very lucky..they very friendly gentle cats

7:26 am

Scarlet

The long lay-off for the Rox probably stalled them to fight the power of the American League, EJ...

7:26 am

carleekat

norwegian* even

7:26 am

Aloyisius

(not a nice thought) .. to land on a stake.. ugh

7:26 am

flosey

thanks aloy and joso

7:27 am

joso

yw flossy

7:27 am

Aloyisius

yvw.. brb.. coffee

7:27 am

Scarlet

That sounds like a good distance read, kattie... she is sooooo smart... but my old tiger cat and she have been having a hissing war all weekend... no blood... but you know... the cat zaps all night long... LOL

7:28 am

joso

they'll work it out, we have 6 and they manage to get along now

7:28 am

Scarlet

I just double-checked her physique... she DOES have those characteristics...

7:28 am

carleekat

oh oh.... well..i suppose a turf war was expected...

7:28 am

Scarlet

Well, the old gal is Alpha all the way...

7:29 am

carleekat

i have 2 norwegians... they aren't "lap cats" but they like to be in same room with people...1 or 41..they will say hello to each one

7:30 am

Aloyisius

Scarlet, tell me about your interesting icon..

7:30 am

Aloyisius

what are the hands holding?

7:30 am

joso

I think we got locky, our boss cat , bear, is a kind soul, #2 , marmalade is a bully, but bear keeps him in line

7:30 am

periwinkle

Good Morning All

7:31 am

Aloyisius

howdy, peri!

7:31 am

carleekat

hi there peri... {{{HUGS}}}

7:31 am

joso

*lucky. not locky, we don't lock them up or anything

7:31 am

Scarlet

The icon goes back to a few weeks ago when the theme was Eid El-Fitr, Aloy... I was stricken by the simple beauty of the image... peri!! Goodest of mornings to thee!!

7:32 am

periwinkle

getting a late start, just got up :-)

7:32 am

joso

hi peri

7:32 am

periwinkle

how is the grid?

7:32 am

Aloyisius

ah, so Scarlet.. it is a lovely image

7:32 am

Scarlet

The hands are close to the Moslem prayers which thank one's maker for the joy of the coming feast...

7:33 am

carleekat

i'm plodding through it peri... not particularily enjoying...but the alternative is worse...

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Hello everyone.

Hi Scrabbler

7:33 am

Scarlet

Hi, Scrabbler.

7:33 am

periwinkle

Aloy, what a beautiful baby!

7:33 am

Aloyisius

peri, i thought it was an easy grid, but i learned a bunch of newbie words too.. had to hunt a while.. hi there, Scrabbler!

7:34 am

Scrabbler

More K words today....monkey will have to work hard.

7:34 am

periwinkle

K words are hard for me

7:34 am

Aloyisius

ty, peri.. her 5 1/2 wk pic is in my profile, but can't get it into the icon.. stubborn it is for some reason

7:35 am

carleekat

finally I am half way...sheesh

7:35 am

Scrabbler

The K words are all pretend words usually

7:35 am

periwinkle

Aloy, I see the same picture in your profile and in your icon, she looks so alert

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Has she developed a social smile yet, Aloy? That is an exciting milestone.

7:36 am

Aloyisius

lol, Scrabbler.. the first k word is one i have never seen.. in fact, i am going to look it up now. If she is smiling, her dad didn't tell me about it.. she is definitely focussing more now tho

7:36 am

Aloyisius

how soon can we look for a smile?

7:37 am

Scrabbler

4-6 after the due date (44-46 wks post-conception)--that is when the brain is ready to make it happen

7:37 am

carleekat

she is a cutie aloy...

7:37 am

Scarlet

Joso... we had four cats at one time, and their personalities were all distinct, so I know what you mean!

7:38 am

Scarlet

Scrabbler, my husband and I have included your friend, Mary, in our meditations and prayers.

7:39 am

Aloyisius

ka4.11 is a flightless bird..

7:39 am

Aloyisius

I also am thinking of Mary..

7:40 am

Scrabbler

THANK YOU SO MUCH, Scarlet. Mary began chemo yesterday and will start brain radiation today. It is odd--she looks so good after surgery now that I have to remind myself that she does have brain cancer and has a tough fight ahead.

7:40 am

Scarlet

Okay, Aloy...

7:40 am

NonoNanette

hi everyone.

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nono

7:40 am

Aloyisius

hi, Nono.. happy Monday to you

7:40 am

Scarlet

Good morning, Nono!

7:40 am

carleekat

she had her surgery scrabs ? ( sorry been away a few days )....but mary and you have been in my prayers

7:40 am

periwinkle

thanks Aloy, new word for me

7:40 am

carleekat

hi nono

7:41 am

NonoNanette

was reading back thru the log..... Scarlet I hope your two cats can learn to get along

7:41 am

joso

wow scrab, good luck to you and mary

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Oct 12--2 cerebellar tumors were removed. 3 remain in the pons are are inoperable.

7:41 am

NonoNanette

my most recent addition which we have had now almost 3 years is a total bully and the hissy fits still continue

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Joso--it is even more sad--Mary was induced 3 wks early and delivered a baby girl on Oct 7th.

7:43 am

Scarlet

LOL, Nono... daughter should be back this evening... and it will be hard to let go of the baby back to her... it's like having the grandchildren for a visit... the pang of seeing them go... I had almost forgotten how high-energy a kitten can be!

7:43 am

Scrabbler

My 4 bunnies each have distinct personalities.

7:43 am

Aloyisius

how is the baby doing,Scrabbler?

7:44 am

joso

So many people here seem to have truly serious problems and still are so nice, mak my problems pale in comparison

7:44 am

Scrabbler

The baby is very easy-going and sweet. I did her 2 wk well baby visit in Mary's room at the cancer center. I brought a scale from the office to weigh her. I wanted Mary to be a part of the visit.

7:44 am

carleekat

its just "life" joso... things happen... and you have no choice but to keep on going through it

7:44 am

Scrabbler

Life is full of joys and sorrows.

7:45 am

joso

yes scrab, I had no pets till I married, very suprised at how distint all thier little egos are

7:45 am

Scarlet

Joso... that is the truest statement anyone can make... this community is a real leveler for personal discomforts... You sound very Buddhist, Scrabbler.

7:45 am

Aloyisius

so thoughtful of you, Scrabbler..

7:45 am

Scrabbler

I am a very spiritual person, not Buddhist though.

7:47 am

Scarlet

I know, Scrabbler... aren't you also a chaplain, or similar spiritual consult?

7:47 am

Aloyisius

Must mosey off.. but happy to provide a clue or two before I go.. ??

7:48 am

Scarlet

*Hugs to you, Aloy* (See, the coffee is kicking in and I have the energy to hug!)

7:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I got a certificate in pastoral studies and serve as a pastoral minister at the same cancer center where Mary is a patient. It is hard to be seeing a friend be a patient there.

7:48 am

joso

bedtime for me too, best wishes to all, g'nite *poof*

7:48 am

carleekat

nite joso... take care aloy

7:48 am

Aloyisius

my mom always said, "it takes two wings to fly", so we wouldn't bother her before her second cup of coffee.. night, joso..

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Joso and Aloy--good to see you.

7:49 am

Scarlet

I can only imagine that, Scrabbler. Husband is currently at the last quarter of taking a two-year course of study through the Diaconate of Charlotte.

7:49 am

Scarlet

I can only imagine that, Scrabbler. Husband is currently at the last quarter of taking a two-year course of study through the Diaconate of Charlotte.

7:49 am

Scarlet

Good night, joso.

7:50 am

flosey

Fireworks, now off to visit brother in hosp. and then to lunch with cousin

7:50 am

Aloyisius

bye all.. see you next grid.. enjoyed chatting with everyone.. have a great day! Poof

7:50 am

Scarlet

"Bye Aloy!!

7:50 am

Aloyisius

ooh.. congrats to flosey!!! double poof

7:50 am

Scarlet

"bye, flosey. Best wishes to your brother!

7:50 am

carleekat

<POMPOM TOSS> for flosey.... yippee

7:51 am

Scrabbler

I took the same courses as the diaconate students for 4 yrs, but the guys could be deacons and the gals could not. Someday a pope will say that women can be deacons and priests, but it wil be after I am dead. I have thought about becoming an Episcopal priest.

7:51 am

periwinkle

brb

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Yahooo Flosey!

7:52 am

Scrabbler

We had our first frost overnight--the ground is white.

7:52 am

Scarlet

The Episcopal women priests have had a tough time of it, Scrabbler... still many of the old biases... the girl altar servers were whipped out of service by Pope Benedict... many hard feelings of the male-dominated faith are gaining impetus again...

7:53 am

NonoNanette

same here scrabbler the leaves will be falling much faster now

7:53 am

Scrabbler

I am right where I belong---serving as a physician and a pastoral minister.

7:53 am

carleekat

ok...now THAT was a complete downer scrabs... I hate winter..was below freezing here overnight... and my father leaves wed for his 6 month visit to FL <whimper...sob>

7:54 am

Scarlet

Yes, it is apparent that your vocation of medicine, blended with a beautiful faith, have served you, AND your community very well, Scrabbler.

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Winter is long here, but I focus on cross-country skiing in the woods.

7:54 am

Scrabbler

TY, Scarlet. I do feel that God has led me to the right place.

7:55 am

Scarlet

And we have to surrender to the call...

7:56 am

Scrabbler

IF we look and listen for the messages and discern what they mean.

7:56 am

Scarlet

I am NOT a winter bunny...

7:56 am

Scarlet

It was the "listening" part that spragged my wheels for a few decades, Scrabbler... hopefully, the ears of my heart and soul have learned to be more attentive...

7:56 am

carleekat

i'm a bear... I hiberbate

7:57 am

Scrabbler

You are in one of the Carolinas?

7:57 am

NonoNanette

was just thinking the same thing carlee

7:57 am

Scrabbler

I have hibernation days too.

7:57 am

Scarlet

Yes, North Carolina. The gardens are still lush, but we are due for winter in about seven weeks...ice and snow are not rare, but not common either.

7:58 am

carleekat

i have hibernation months... my neighbours don't see me from new years until april....

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Carlee. Are you stocking up food and supplies?

7:59 am

carleekat

typically.. yes.. i do... i HATE going outside in winter...

8:00 am

Scarlet

I like the cool weather, but dealing with the freezing temps, the slick ground... UGH!

8:00 am

Scrabbler

I don't like being cold. Even in the summer I sleep with socks on, except for the brutally hot nights.

8:01 am

Scrabbler

am5,16 please?

8:01 am

carleekat

i cannot say anything positive about winter..period... there is not colour..everything is cold...the wind off the lake bites your skin... the black ice, went slush on roads...wet cold feet....runny noses... and even the angle of the sun up here...hurts the eyes

8:01 am

Scrabbler

OK, you're right, I am moving to the south now.

8:01 am

8:02 am

NonoNanette

ty carlee

8:02 am

ditto, carlee about winter, I don't like it at all

8:02 am

Scrabbler

I just filled my mug for the second hit, Periwinkle

8:03 am

NonoNanette

most of the winter, I will be huddled here in front of my computer with my little space heater on trying not to shiver

8:04 am

carleekat

we have a HUGe lake directly to the north of us ( 5 min walk ) that freezes over completely every few years...so the wind is always a harsh damp cold wind here...goes through the bones... only when it gets cold enough to freeze the lake over does the wind become tollerable..but then you are living with -20 - -30 C temps

8:04 am

I am laughing as I type this.....I live one street from the ocean...the winds coming off the Atlantic in the winter knocks you over literally..cold, cold, cold, BUT very lovely in the summertime..with the breeze coming off the ocean

8:07 am

Anniebrook

hugs to you carlee, you said you were going to get some news about Kevin on Saturday...good news, I hope

8:07 am

carleekat

the winds we get off of lake huron are the same if you are on the lake..but they sweep down from northern canada and the arctic circle...fortunately for me here....specifically where I live..there is a 40 foot cliff that displaces the worst of the gusts....

8:08 am

carleekat

no news unfortunately...we are now waiting for wednesday... visit to the dr. is wed afternoon about what goes on with his thumb...

8:09 am

Anniebrook

brrr, arctic circle, even sounds cold...hope you get good news on Wednesday, will be praying for you both and the children

thanks annie..

8:10 am

Anniebrook

hi and bye scrabbler

8:10 am

NonoNanette

se ya later scrabbler

8:12 am

Anniebrook

since when did aw** become a word...i thought it was an acronym (sp)

8:12 am

Scarlet

{{{AnnieBrookly}}} I just stepped away to watch Sports Center on ESPN... the BoSox are kings of the planet for 2007!

8:13 am

Scarlet

I was getting cold with all this talk of winds coming off the water... LOL

8:13 am

Anniebrook

WELL!!!!!! Rhett must be very happy indeed. The Rockies were crushed into gravel, sorry to say.

8:13 am

NonoNanette

resisted trying aw** for a long time annie for that very reason

8:14 am

Scarlet

Rhett is happy and I am disappointed that the Rox didn't give it more of a go... the layoff killed their impetus... and MY Mike Lowell has the MVP! Excellent choice!

8:14 am

Anniebrook

nono, here you never know as they say on the New York Lottery commercials

8:14 am

NonoNanette

yeah i know and usually just type away but that one had me

8:15 am

Anniebrook

Yes, I agree, Mike Lowell does deserve the MVP...did his job without fanfare and hullabaloo...it kind of hurts to say something nice about a Red Sox but I must admit he does deserve that accolade. good for him

8:16 am

Anniebrook

MY Mike Lowell, hmmmm? Does Rhett know?

8:16 am

Scarlet

What if A-Rod goes to the Sox, Annie... he has declared free agency to get the heck away from a Yankees' organization gone awry.

8:16 am

Anniebrook

Traitor!

8:17 am

Scarlet

Yes, and he is very understanding about it, Annie... Lowell is of Cuban ancestry, and that macho thing is well under control...you gotta love him!

8:18 am

Scarlet

Player of the Year! Now, THAT is some callling card!

8:18 am

Anniebrook

Scarlet, Of all the Sox, I would say he is my favorite also...He even looks neat next to Manny...Lowell, Cuban? Okay....scrubby looking team but they did it fair and square...ARod will go with the money

8:19 am

Scarlet

The two largest payrolls are NYY and BRS... so they may be the only team that can afford A-Rod. I must feed beloved now.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

I am back. Yes aw4 is a word--I tried it and was surprised earlier.

8:20 am

Scarlet

Annie, a train-wreck would look neater than Manny... LOL

8:20 am

NonoNanette

i doubt ARod will get the money he did from the yankees any other place so I applaud him for declairing free agency

8:20 am

Scrabbler

gu6 anyone?

8:20 am

Scarlet

I agree, Nono...

8:20 am

Atalante

8:28 am

NonoNanette

scrabbler, gu6 is a piece of cloth worn at the neck as part of a nun's apparel

9:19 am

montreal13

the gu word that is...

9:19 am

Scarlet

*mumble* At least it's for something worthwhile, Mom... a birthday card for a friend!\

9:19 am

bbnaz

well i had quite a scare this morning. my kitty had gone aw4 the last few days. i have been in class and not home so i just figured i had missed him. so this morning i asked my hubby if he had seen him to which he answered no. i freaked out. this is my younger daughter's kitty so very important on that level also (see my flickr foto).

9:20 am

Mom

That is a worthwhile trip, Scarlet.

9:20 am

Scarlet

Did you find the kittie, bbnaz?

9:20 am

carleekat

so browse in the hallmark store.... or drugstore....

9:20 am

bbnaz

anyway hubby said that we could look later but as the cat doesn't go but in our yard and the neighbors, i didn't hold out much hope. so i called him with an original "meow meow meow" and heard this strangled answer from our spare van.

9:21 am

Scarlet

We have a Hallmark about a mile away, kat, so that's the destination.

9:21 am

Mom

oh no, bbnaz.

9:21 am

bbnaz

i sped inside got the keys and let out a very very dehydrated and miffed cat.

9:21 am

Scarlet

OHMIGOSH.

9:21 am

carleekat

they will have all the holiday things on display..so will be nice

9:22 am

Mom

I must scoot, housework and bedsheets await. I don't think I can contain the excitement. lol

9:22 am

carleekat

WOW... and is kitty ok?... lots of water?

9:22 am

Mom

Hugs to all of you. bye bye

9:22 am

Scarlet

'Bye, Mom... make it a memorable day!

9:22 am

carleekat

bye mom

9:22 am

bbnaz

actually we are very lucky as the daytime has been rather warm and most animals wouldn't have survived. so the fat cat is now snoozing next to me as if to say...just in case you didn't notice....HERE I AM

9:22 am

Mom

bye bye Scarlet and Carlee. I will do my best to make it so, Scarlet

9:22 am

montreal13

bye (((mom)))

9:23 am

Mom

bye bye Montreal

9:23 am

bbnaz

lots and lots of water. and then a rather long tinkle in the litter box so it would appear that there is no damage

9:23 am

Scarlet

Yep, kat. Daughter called... she's on the way home from the Georgia cabin... wants some leftover scalloped potatoes with ham when she hits here.

9:23 am

bbnaz

except to me and his dignity

Okay... off to the ratrace... kattie, please drop a few words. {{{Loving hugs}}}

9:30 am

bbnaz

i am also going to plant iris bulbs on her mum's grave. she died in june and her name was iris so it seems fitting to put irises on her final resting place. every year she can send up blooms

9:31 am

bbnaz

9:31 am

carleekat

I'll try later today red... I am FORCING myself to do cleaning today... as we have another dinner next week so I have to squeeze in dinner prep into the crazy schedule too

carleekat

take great care bbnaz...drive carefully

9:36 am

Scarlet

I must get moving, kattie. Be good to yourself. I know from personal experience that giving to others is the most helpful cure for what ails us in real life... we get outside of ourselves and it doesn't allow for any "wallowing"...

9:37 am

carleekat

yeap...exactly... happy shopping... take some time to browse red...

9:37 am

Scarlet

You are wonderful, kat... don't forget that! *poof*

10:20 am

bbnaz

ka + last vowel + hook + third vowel

10:20 am

Biltong

ty, bbnaz

10:20 am

Biltong

witchy, if you go down to the bottom of the page and click on AngelSong's Babble page you will get more info

10:20 am

bbnaz

witchy, you need to make at least 4 letter words from the grid. they must be connected by touching...side by side, diagonal...and you cannot use the same letter twice in the same word

10:21 am

bbnaz

ka5.20 = word begins with "ka", has a total of 5 letters in same and is worth 20 points

10:22 am

witchy

got that bit bbnaz it was the thing that bilt was asking but i will check out AngelSong

10:23 am

bbnaz

witchy did you understand now?

10:23 am

10:24 am

Biltong

10:24 am

bbnaz

welcome aboard and get ready to find words you never have heard of before........

10:24 am

Biltong

lol, bbnaz

10:25 am

witchy

I had guessed that from the number of unusual letter combinations in the grid!!

10:26 am

Biltong

witchy, also, if you click on lickety's babble clues it gives you a break down of the words

10:26 am

bbnaz

and you can generally get help when you are stuck just by asking. however, it is not copacetic to type in a word from the day's grid here in the chat log. Unfortunately for me, I do it regularly.

10:49 am

bbnaz

so BDG, is it Michiganians or Michiganders?

10:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

bbnaz, michiganders has long been the correct term.

10:50 am

Book Doctor Gwen

however, some time in the 1950s or 60s the legislature passed a bill that changed official term to michiganian. No one I know calls themself a michiganian, though. LOL

10:51 am

doxy1lover

im6, either one?

10:51 am

Book Doctor Gwen

so both are correct but only one is in common use

10:51 am

bbnaz

somewhat the same here. the correct term is ArizonAN not Arizonian. However as we continue to grow, it changes

10:51 am

bbnaz

the first one is when you drink, it will im + two of a kind

10:51 am

doxy1lover

found one, need 1st im6?

10:51 am

Book Doctor Gwen

im + a very light shade of a color is said to be pa4

10:52 am

11:08 am

lizmac

Hello again, peoples. Back for my last 4. No doubt I'll be begging clues soon.

11:08 am

Haz1558

However, we get to deal with large and small animal emergencies when the surgery closes. From hamsters to heifers!

11:09 am

bbnaz

as you can see from my flickr fotos, equines are my thing

11:09 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon Zen.

11:16 am

bbnaz

hello Zen

11:16 am

bbnaz

morning here in the desert of Arizona though

11:18 am

Ogdens Nut

Hi Haz & bbnaz - wouldn't mind a bit of Arizonian heat right now

11:18 am

lizmac

And fireworks!!

11:19 am

Haz1558

Well done liz!

11:19 am

PinkHatClub

hi there, new to babble can someone por favor explain what the tile stats mean? I looked in help but it was not clear

11:19 am

bbnaz

heehee. there is that "ian" spoken of earlier. Zen you are more than welcome to come and visit any time! And we are ArizonANs ... see earlier log discussing the vagaries of endings of state names

11:20 am

lizmac

Spangle's looking very chipper today, Haz.

11:20 am

Haz1558

The tile stats mirror the tiles in the grid. For instance, 3 r at the top left means that there are three words beginning with r coming from that tile. If there is 0 in a tile, no words come from there.

11:20 am

bbnaz

congrats liz!

11:20 am

Haz1558

She is indeed. We had a good walk, gives her something to smile about.

11:21 am

PinkHatClub

thanks! it makes more sense now

11:21 am

bbnaz

welcome to the madness PHC

11:21 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:22 am

lizmac

Good luck PHC, the addiction creeps up on you, be warned!!

11:22 am

bbnaz

okay fellow babblers.......the day is slipping away and I have plenty of errands to do. plus laundry and the other chores that come from being MUM.

11:22 am

bbnaz

so i hope to see you later on...........but before i slip away, anybody need any clues?

11:24 am

Ogdens Nut

thanks for the info bbnaz - I guess there is no reason for the "i".....but you can fill me in on all the linguistic delights of Arizona when I call over for a bit of your winter heat!

11:24 am

lizmac

Better go and cook, hub's not well (man flu'), so I'm cooking which is unusual.

11:24 am

bbnaz

adios then!

11:25 am

lizmac

It'll kill or cure him!

11:25 am

bbnaz

Zen...seriously, always a welcome mat out in this neck of the desert! And I am sure that my knowledge is quite shallow for the linguistic delights in your realm too. aaaaah I love linquistics it rolls off of the tongue so nicely.

11:26 am

Haz1558

Feed a cold and starve a fever. Sounds like he'd be safer going hungry!

11:26 am

Haz1558

Bye bbnaz.

11:26 am

Haz1558

Linguistics may roll off the tongue, but transformational grammar nearly did for me....

11:27 am

lizmac

Probably, Haz. One tends to become de-skilled when someone cooks like he does.

11:27 am

Haz1558

So has he always done the cooking?

11:29 am

lizmac

We've only been together 4 years, but yes pretty much always. I get a turn in the kitchen if I book in advance.

11:29 am

Haz1558

And who does the clearing up?

11:31 am

Takuma Sato

howdy folks

11:31 am

lizmac

I CAN cook, but prefer his. Between dishwasher, me and him, he's also a tidy cook.

11:31 am

inge

Tag, Babblers. I am trying to communicate with Babbler about icon theme ideas, but the email addess in her hand bag came back returned, and teh one in my address book is even older. Anyone have a current address for Babbler?

11:31 am

Haz1558

That sounds ideal, liz!

11:32 am

Haz1558

Hello Takuma. Inge, check in Angelsong's page and see if she has a current address for Babbler.

11:32 am

inge

ok will do

11:33 am

lizmac

It is, Haz. Better go, kitchen to re-acquaint myself with. Tomorrow folks.

11:34 am

Haz1558

Bye liz - hope husband gets better soon.

11:35 am

lizmac

So do I, Haz, or we'll starve!! byeee.

11:35 am

FMitch

Afternoon all
Inge Babblers addy was working fine when I used it a little while ago but you need to include everything correctly including the + sign

11:36 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon FMitch. Still resisting the lure of the grid, or have you succumbed?

11:36 am

FMitch

Resisting the grid/words but miss the chat, can't stay away from that :)

11:37 am

Haz1558

You're SO disciplined. Have you been getting words just from clues without looking at the grid?

11:37 am

Ogdens Nut

Hi FM

11:38 am

montreal13

11:40 am

montreal13

honoured i think... have ways to go myself...

11:40 am

montreal13

lol FM

11:41 am

Haz1558

So, you've been checking the rankings, Zen. Does this indicate curiosity or competitiveness?

11:41 am

FMitch

Actually Zen, it just means you have reached stage 3 of the addiction ladder.

11:42 am

Ogdens Nut

Grecian 2000 ?????? - I thought you liked my grey hairs, FM

11:43 am

Haz1558

You'll give him a complex, FM. Positive affirmation at all times. Except for combovers. Nobody could affirm a combover.

11:44 am

FMitch

I love grey hair on a guy. Is that affirmation enough Haz

11:44 am

Ogdens Nut

Oh, I am a non-competitive male Haz, I just like the numbers.....

11:44 am

Haz1558

That sounds good, FMitch.

11:45 am

Haz1558

I'm always amused when new people come on and expect babble to be a race.

11:45 am

FMitch

Sometimes it's an endurance test...

11:46 am

Haz1558

It sure isn't a sprint, unless you're very fortunate.

11:46 am

FMitch

Oh talking of sprint, caught a snippet on the BBC this morning

11:47 am

pabtrek

first im6 please

11:47 am

FMitch

The first stiletto shoes race was held, with $4000 shopping vouchers as a prise

11:47 am

Haz1558

im6 - to damage or distort judgement

11:47 am

Haz1558

And who in their right mind would run in stiletto heels?

11:47 am

Ogdens Nut

Just as well Fm; I'm staying off the grecian 2000 as am applying to be Ballymena's answer to George Clooney

11:48 am

FMitch

*swoon*

11:48 am

Haz1558

Oh, the name alone makes me smile....

11:48 am

pabtrek

thanks Haz

11:49 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:49 am

Haz1558

I take it the said stiletto race was American - I note the dollar prize.

11:49 am

There were a few falls but nothing serious. I was S. America I think

Er, I didn't know that FM - that kinda does it for my chances for the GC look-a-like competition, darn...

11:53 am

debjed

pretty good.

11:53 am

FMitch

Oops sorry, forgot it was a secret Haz.
Zen with the real McCoy out the way you could win!

11:54 am

Haz1558

George keeps muttering about contracts and movies and get out clauses. There may be room for you yet, Zen, if I have to let him go.

11:54 am

Ogdens Nut

Yeah, but Haz'll let him out for the day, no doubt

11:55 am

Haz1558

And he WILL keep complaining about the weather.

11:55 am

Who said anything about a dungeon?

11:57 am

FMitch

You may as well own up, we all know about it Haz.

11:58 am

Haz1558

There's no roll-playing (sic) goes on around here.

11:58 am

Ogdens Nut

whats he locked up in then, or he is just held prisoner by your fatal charm, Haz?

11:59 am

Haz1558

Spangle is on patrol....

12:00 pm

FMitch

In general or just for George lookalikes?

12:01 pm

Ogdens Nut

Ah, I thought you might be the Femme Fatale of Ballymena

12:01 pm

Haz1558

Zen - I look no more like a femme fatale than Spangle does!

12:02 pm

FMitch

Oh I don't know, she was pretty moody and slutry in that black & white photo ergo...

12:02 pm

montreal13

well... i think Spangle looks mighty fine...

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Okay, poor comparison!

12:03 pm

Haz1558

And slutry, FM? A new word?

12:03 pm

Ogdens Nut

Is that an intentional inversion of the letters FM ?

12:03 pm

FMitch

Groan, I just spotted that, oh dear..

12:04 pm

karisma2

HI EVERYONE OUT THERE

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Haz1558

Good job she can't read.

12:04 pm

How dare you call a ballymena woman a slut!

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Argue your way out of that, FM!!

12:05 pm

FMitch

No no not dear glittery spangle or Haz Oh dear oh dear.

12:05 pm

montreal13

lol zen and haz

12:06 pm

Ogdens Nut

I can see now how it is always FM's fault....

12:06 pm

FMitch

Runs to penalty box and squeezes into one of the cupboards and shuts door beind.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Yes, Zen, a beautiful case in point.

12:06 pm

12:07 pm

Vicuna

So, let me get this straight... Zenmed, disguised as George Clooney, is being kept under Haz's stairs by Spangle, who turns out to be the sort of dog who can run in stilletto heels, and all of this is FM's fault?

12:07 pm

Anniebrook

*gives FM a chocolate bar as the door closes on the cupboard*

12:07 pm

Haz1558

You've maybe not got all the details right, Vicuna. But yes, it is FM's fault.

12:08 pm

montreal13

you guys are a riot... no wonder i love this game...

12:08 pm

Vicuna

Well, that was the part I was fairly confident about.

12:08 pm

Haz1558

And exactly why are you rewarding FMItch, Annie? Mixed messages......

12:09 pm

Vicuna

(Pssst, FM... USe your stilleto's to pick the lock!)

12:09 pm

Vicuna

(No apostrophe intended)

12:09 pm

I would reward FMitch simply for find someone who looks like George Clooney

12:10 pm

Haz1558

Duly noted, Vicuna.

12:10 pm

I feel that FM (at times) has been poorly judged and I knew she was going to cry. Chocolate fixes all sorrows, well, almost. I do award your good taste in men..Haz

12:10 pm

Haz1558

She is SUCH a crawler.

12:11 pm

FMitch

i always said Annie was such a good judge of character!!

12:11 pm

debjed

am5,16?

12:11 pm

redshoes

well FM, now that I know Annie's on your side.... I'm less assured. She kicked me the other morning

12:12 pm

Haz1558

Who has ever judged FMitch poorly? We've been rigorous and fair throughout.

12:12 pm

Vicuna

am5/16 - Spanich gi4-friend

12:12 pm

FMitch

ROFL
red, she is only after GeorgeC

12:12 pm

Vicuna

Spanich is apparently a variety of Spanish spinach

12:12 pm

Ogdens Nut

We will let her off Haz, as she attempted to say you were a sultry woman

12:12 pm

redshoes

Probably. And a look-alike at that!

12:13 pm

debjed

ty

12:13 pm

Anniebrook

LOL! Haz. Oh dear, I am getting a reputation. Yes I did kick redshoes the other day. FM, lay low and it will blow over. Even Haz, our revered clue giver, insulted a babbler the other day. I can't imagine it.

12:13 pm

redshoes

Vi you need to slow down... your fingers are getting ahead of your thoughts.

12:14 pm

FMitch

What is the world coming to!

12:14 pm

Vicuna

If my fingers waited for my thoughts it would be next Tuesday before anything got written.

12:14 pm

Haz1558

Whom did I insult? Apart from FM who deserves it, always.

12:14 pm

redshoes

good point.

12:14 pm

montreal13

lol vi...

12:15 pm

Vicuna

A little Spanish spinach seems a small price to pay for keeping up with the conversation (more or less)

12:15 pm

Atalante

hi all

12:15 pm

FMitch

I will be getting Tshirts printed so that everyone can join in with my persecution ... sheesh.

12:15 pm

FMitch

all I need now is Ata to appear!

12:15 pm

FMitch

Eeeeek

12:15 pm

Vicuna

(Apparently FM still hasn't discovered the "Kick me" note Haz pinned to her back.)

12:15 pm

Haz1558

At last! Atalante, FM's to blame and Annie's trying to stick up for her. Tell it like it is.

12:16 pm

Atalante

always blame FM!

12:16 pm

Anniebrook

Haz, dear, did you not tell Inge (jokingly, I might add) that she could not spell and she left in a hmmmph!

12:17 pm

FMitch

The Dog of Doom is starting to growl at you lot now, hah!

12:17 pm

Haz1558

Oh, Annie - I was teasing inge, she was annoyed because her eyes are causing problems. If I had known I never would have said anything. But it's all sorted out now.

12:17 pm

Atalante

*all together now* that was a joke!

12:17 pm

Ogdens Nut

Ooh, Haz is hard; but I forgive you FM, particularly as you like my George Clooney hair...

12:17 pm

Haz1558

If you only knew the insults I DON'T write!

12:18 pm

Haz1558

I see Zen is being a turncoat. Flattery works wonders.

12:18 pm

FMitch

Thank you Zen *flutters eyelashes and straightens out creased clothing from cramped cupboard*

12:18 pm

redshoes

see... I understand that Haz. I tell people that all the time. Of course, I like you, I say... If I didn't, I wouldn't talk to you, at all!

12:18 pm

Vicuna

I recall distinctly hearing the grinding of teeth on certain occasions, though, Haz.

12:18 pm

Anniebrook

Haz, I knew it would be sorted out with Inge eventually. I would LOVE to see the insults you do not write. I always enjoy your comments re: Miss Hilton

12:19 pm

Haz1558

Vicuna, grinding of teeth and groaning at the pain of sitting on my hands.

12:19 pm

FMitch

That was me grinding my teeth Vi and it's always at one person in particular who drives me to insanity

12:20 pm

montreal13

fireworks - must go - this is a nice place to be... as always - bye for now

12:20 pm

Anniebrook

Who, Whom?

12:20 pm

Vicuna

Only one, FM? You're a better woman then me, then!

12:20 pm

Poor Atalante.

Atalante

12:22 pm

FMitch

12:22 pm

Haz1558

Digging herself out of an awkward spot.

12:23 pm

Vicuna

Oh no, not "interesting!"

12:23 pm

FMitch

do you think anyone noticed?

12:23 pm

Vicuna

It was very subtle, FM.

12:23 pm

Haz1558

No naming and shaming for FMitch....

12:24 pm

Haz1558

Has she been taken by Aussie revenge squads?

12:25 pm

Vicuna

4:42 pm

herinfernallady

Thats why i get a cabin that is self contained

4:43 pm

lilliann

i couldn't do without my hols scarlet, even though i feel like i could do with another one when i get back!!!

4:44 pm

lilliann

an 8yr old going on 15 doesn't help!!!!

4:44 pm

herinfernallady

We took off to a self contained cabin it was great

4:44 pm

4:47 pm

herinfernallady

When we go away we tend to get a cabin at a caravan park one that is self contained. It is great or get a group and rent a house

herinfernallady

Lilian thats sweet

4:51 pm

lilliann

4:51 pm

herinfernallady

THats why i go in pairs with 2 cars

4:51 pm

lilliann

herinfernallady

The last time my boy and i took of no technology nothing

4:52 pm

Scarlet

I understand, lilliann... we are really at the ready for our husbands and children... if we don't have even a mini-break in that cycle, it can be "erosive"...

herinfernallady

they are cooking steak on the telly IF you hear a growl thats my belly growling

4:54 pm

lilliann

i love my hubby to bits but when we come back from hols, he just leaves everything to me and i get really angry as it would be done alot quicker if we both did it,but men don't see it that way!

4:55 pm

herinfernallady

I ask my boy to do something once that is all

4:55 pm

Scarlet

I never really thought of it... it was just relegated to the distaff side, and I carried on.

Lilian its a kitchen blindness my house mate suffers from it. Walks in dishes everywhere no stacking in dishwasher. What there is dishes?

5:04 pm

lilliann

my hubby is a great cook.

5:04 pm

Scarlet

Oh, lilliann... I did not take it that he was a lump... all men do maddening things... all women do maddening things... it depends on our time of life, our history and what we were dealt earlier on... I am in an absolute attitude of gratitude that fate has been kinder to me in my later years! :-)

5:04 pm

doxy1lover

5:07 pm

doxy1lover

I don't know if he really thinks about it. with my daughter living here with us, he is not crazy about doing a lot of things, unless it means we go somewhere without her.

5:07 pm

lilliann

5:11 pm

Scarlet

I bet you're a good cook, doxy!

6:48 pm

tygerbryght

I guess I should type in my words. It's about time for me to go take pills and eat.

lots of my favorite people!

8:15 pm

FranMag

hey heather! how's your headache?

8:15 pm

lbdawger

hi feather

8:16 pm

featherbee

head is better, since i took tylenol early enough. tummy is still sour, has been all day.

8:16 pm

stidmama

oh oh, headache again??? did you try peppermint tea for the tummy?

8:16 pm

stidmama

peppermint -- or lavender -- tea is often good for sour tummies

8:17 pm

featherbee

don't have any of that. did gas-x though. icky burps!

8:17 pm

featherbee

would lipton's work?

8:17 pm

pam

I wish tylenol early or otherwise would deal with my headaches!

8:17 pm

pam

Gaviscon works the best for me for sour stomach...

8:17 pm

featherbee

my neck was extremely tight all weekend, so i knew i was most likely going to get a migraine, so took the tylenol the instant i felt it coming on pam. i got really lucky with it really.

8:17 pm

stidmama

i don't know feather -- I am not a fan of liptons (it GIVES me sour tummy) but a very light tea might...

8:18 pm

pam

Is it caffeinated or decaf, feather? Hot, weak tea is often soothing for the tummy,,,

8:18 pm

featherbee

normally tylenol won't do anything because i don't start early enough.

8:18 pm

FranMag

if jac were here, she'd say "flat coke"

8:18 pm
