12:06 am

12:06 am

FranMag

12:06 am

cybernan

12:07 am

lynxxx

12:07 am

Hi, lynxxx

12:07 am

FranMag

hi ruru, cath, shdy, doc and anyone else i might have missed!

12:07 am

dcseain

12:07 am

rururocks

hiya fran

12:08 am

dart001

hi dc

12:08 am

Cathyar

well...i'm off to bed babble buds...love you ALL!

12:08 am

Cathyar

nite

12:08 am

shdybr8

not that easy fran, but i'm considering it

12:08 am

joso

shdy, when you boil it down it's prety simple; you keep going as is, or you break up, or you talk to him about it. It sounds to me like you have allot of hope for this pairing, so breaking up because instead of talking because talking will be hard seems wrong.

12:08 am

dcseain

g'night cathy!

12:09 am

Cathyar

BOTTOM LINE....if you cannot communicate with the one you love...there is no love...so move on.

12:10 am

shdybr8

joso, i know i need to talk, just too scared of the answer

12:10 am

jillibus

surely if they are best friends they are communicating

12:10 am

Cathyar

in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that"......*****pooof***** bye...sweet dreams all

12:10 am

dcseain

if not in all the ways that each side may want

12:10 am

jillibus

night cath

12:10 am

FranMag

night cath!

12:11 am

Jellen

Good night, Cathy

12:11 am

FranMag

shdy, if you're scared to know the answer then you probably know it already and just don't want to face that you may not be suited for each other.

12:12 am

Cathyar

bk briefly to give {{{{hugs}}} to shdy...she is confused.... ****poof***

12:12 am

Cathyar

bye

12:12 am

jillibus

I see paus(e), jus(t),law(s).....

12:12 am

12:16 am

shdybr8

12:16 am

jillibus

cath, are y9ou sure you are not projecting your own problems onto shdy?

12:17 am

Cathyar

lol...k....don't complain then. go out and have fun with yer friends!

12:17 am

shdybr8

and he cooks for me

12:17 am

Cathyar

12:17 am

shdybr8

shdybr8

12:22 am

shdybr8

thanks for caring

12:23 am

dcseain

*hug* shdy, i'm sure you will figure out how to proceed, and what is best for you short and long-term. Such emotionally vested situations are always difficult.

12:23 am

Cathyar

i see u r hurting...and u don't want to see how u will spiral downward if u continue to let this person control you.....no ...we can both stay...

12:23 am

dcseain

you've gotten a good deal of feedback, and i think you can reflect and figure out what to do, and when to do it.

12:24 am

FranMag

70s hairstyle alert!

12:24 am

Cathyar

mrp.. i saw your videos...and know you have had hospital stays etc. for your arm......I must be late to babble...can I ask what was the initial cause of the probs.?...accident or disease or other?

2:15 am

mrpresident

dart, it was a rare bone tumour, which was treated several times, radiotherapy and keyhole surgery.
Then, they find that I have chronic osteomyelitis (and not the 'garden' variety)... it is untreatable.
So more surgery and more medication, and surgery again! I am now recovering and hope to not have this anymore!

2:15 am

mrpresident

they cannot tell how the disease came about, could have been caused by an accident, or by the surgery over the past 7 years

2:15 am

3:28 am

Frances

You're welcome

3:28 am

dcseain

i'm actually a bit more annoyed than smug, as none of them read the explicit instructions on the form.

3:29 am

dcseain

oh, glad to hear the pain's under control at the moment. :)

3:29 am

sprite

lol dc... you should know by now th4 about 98% of the people never read instructions or manuals.

a lot of silent people, dc, for sure :D

3:37 am

dcseain

yes, the silent majority, which it turned out in this country, was not, in fact, a majority, but a very vocal minority.

3:37 am

sprite

ohhhh I found the 10!

3:37 am

Frances

Me too.

3:37 am

dcseain

WTG Sprite!

I am glad you are here too, Frances :)

3:41 am

kathw

3:41 am

sprite

wtg Frances!

3:41 am

dcseain

no offence intened, sprite, but you sound just like my mother when you say that :D

3:42 am

sprite

I am sure that is not at all offensive, dc :)
As far as I heard, your mother is not bad.

3:42 am

Frances

Ah, and the nine

3:43 am

sprite

and in my defence: shopping triggers about all my panic buttons. It is very exhausting to me.

3:43 am

dcseain

neat words, esp once i looked them up.

3:43 am

dcseain

i don't relate, but i do understand, sprite

3:44 am

sprite

hey kathw, did not see your post, sorry. Hi and yw :)

3:44 am

dcseain

hi, kathw, welcome, and congrats on the 9/10

3:45 am

herinfernallady

Hi i am back. I cant believe how little i ate

3:45 am

sprite

to give you an idea, dc... I am covered in cold sweat before I even reach the store. I am having trouble breathing halfway in. I get real panicky when there are people behind my back arguing. And if there is a long queue, the pain will become unbearable before I get back home. No, shopping is not my thing.

3:45 am

dcseain

wb, lady

3:46 am

herinfernallady

SPrite can i make a suggestion

3:47 am

sprite

wb lady. I hope you do eat enough? If you eat healthy stuff, you lose more weight by good eating than by hungering... eating too little brings down your rate of processing

3:47 am

sprite

I bet you can, lady :)

3:47 am

herinfernallady

SPrite i had a taco full of salady stuff. I wasn't that hungry.

3:48 am

herinfernallady

Suggestion. Map out the store find an exit spot that you can go to quietly. ALso listen to your fav music in a music player.

3:48 am

dcseain

it took me a while to learn that taco is a vulgar word in Spain.

3:48 am

sprite

is it? I did not know that, dc. Why?

3:48 am

herinfernallady

I have to do this just about ever time i go out as i freak out.

3:49 am

herinfernallady

DC can i ask what it means (polietly)

3:49 am

dcseain

frankly, sprite, i'm not clear on why precisely, but i know it's rude. :)

3:49 am

dcseain

one sec, gonna chekc the rae....

3:49 am

sprite

Our stores only have one exit, lady, and it lies behind the cashiers. And the music thing does not work for me, because if I cannot hear what is going on, I panic even more. But thanks very much for trying to help *hug*

3:50 am

herinfernallady

DIfferent strokes different folks. It does suck

3:50 am

sprite

ah, ok dc, LOL. Like calling spanish people taco eaters maybe?

3:50 am

herinfernallady

Sorry i am fuming at the mo brb

3:50 am

sprite

ok lady, take care

3:50 am

dcseain

i see. reading the official definitions, it has the connotation of dildo in most of that country, except around Granada

3:51 am

dcseain

In Granada, it means churro, which is a fried dough treat.

3:51 am

sprite

ah, I can see how that can be rude, dc, lol

3:51 am

dcseain

primary definition is a wooden casing

3:51 am

dcseain

often oblong

3:52 am

sprite

it is a food thing here.

3:53 am

dcseain

we have tacos and churros and chimichangas and burritos and echiladas, and chimichurri, and bunches of other foods from similar roots.

3:54 am

sprite

kind of risky, to have such a common food word meaning something rude in the land of origin.

3:54 am

sprite

lots of foreigners will make that mistake, I guess

3:54 am

dcseain

the food originates in Mexico, it's not rude here in the Americas.

3:55 am

sprite

ow, of course! Sorry.

3:55 am

dcseain

Tortilla has the double meaning of omelette and the flat bread in latin america.

3:56 am

dcseain

1st to5, pls?

3:57 am

sprite

t + not off + act

3:57 am

Thanks Dc for that lactose free milk bought some today.

4:04 am

ah Haz, Ata was waiting for you, but she is now gone to the vet with hobbit.

4:04 am

Jacula

Haz - Good morning. I did indeed. Most enjoyable! You?

4:04 am

4:05 am

sprite

*poof*

4:05 am

herinfernallady

HI Haz

4:05 am

Haz1558

Jacula, I was rendered helpless a lot of the time. The cat scene did for me completely.

4:05 am

herinfernallady

HI Jac too

4:05 am

Frances

I did Haz. What did you think?

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Oh and i bought Berry Sorbet too yummy

4:06 am

carleekat

there u go herin

4:06 am

dcseain

coconut sorbet is one of my faves, as is lemon

4:06 am

Jacula

carlee - a TV series based on Elizabeth Gaskell's novel trilogy.

4:06 am

Haz1558

Hello Frances - I loved it. I want to live there to learn how long to visit somebody and how to eke it candles.

4:06 am

carleekat

alright then...

4:06 am

Haz1558

eke out candles, that should be.

4:06 am

herinfernallady

I dont like coconut. Oh that sounds interesting Jac

4:07 am

Jacula

Same here re 'manners', Haz. Loved the cat scene, even though I did have a 'dodgy' tummy yesterday. The idea of the leather boot was good for medicine giving, though.

4:07 am

Frances

Haz, made me laugh when they said they were a two candle household but only lit the second when someone came calling.

4:08 am

Haz1558

The scene where the two ladies were jogging along followed by the sedan chair was wonderful.

4:08 am

Jacula

Frances - the poor men carrying the gossip's sedan made me laugh.

4:09 am

Frances

The whole thing was wonderful Jac.

4:09 am

Haz1558

It was SO good. I've pre-ordered the DVD which doesn't come out until the end of January.

4:09 am

Jacula

Well, I say, the gossip... they were all as bad! Especially Imelda Saunton's character.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Imelda Staunton only has to turn up for me to start laughing. She's so earnest in her character - and that feather!

4:09 am

Jacula

Ooh, DVD? Think I'll do the same, Haz.

4:10 am

Frances

Who needs a telephone when you have those ladies?

4:10 am

Haz1558

It's at a bargain price on the BBC website, Jacula.

4:10 am

Jacula

I'll check it out, Haz. Thanks.

4:11 am

herinfernallady

Oh i do hope ABC buys that show it does look interesting

4:11 am

Haz1558

Now, having disrupted chat and given myself a dose of the giggles again, I'd better skedaddle and chase some dust. Back later!

4:12 am

Jacula

'Bye, Haz.

4:12 am

Frances

Bye Haz. Enjoy.

4:12 am

dcseain

i'm sure PBS will pick it up here 'ere long, edited, and on BBCA in full

7:11 am

Sugerpig

hey ardilla, from tangleword??

7:12 am

Scrabbler

I saw a kid like that on Sat--happy and running around with his brother, but he had a bubble ready to pop. When it pops the pain is relieved though and then the ear drum seals right over.

7:13 am

Scrabbler

Oh, you are in the service. I didn't know that, Ardilla.

7:13 am

featherbee

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Uh oh, Featherbee, what happened?

7:35 am

featherbee

we were going to do applesauce this morning to get ready for our feast with the other kindergarteners tomorrow. she didn't want to, and i said i'd really rather she did. it wasn't like she was actually doing it, the room mom was coming in to do it, but she apparently didn't want the room mom in either

7:36 am

inge

thanks, I thought she sadi double the vowel at end, which is already done

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Control issues, huh?

7:36 am

featherbee

however the room mom comes in anyway for centers, and would be doing it all anway! argh. i called back and gave a message to the secretary, said fine, have the kids save their apples for tomorrow and we can do it tomorrow.

7:36 am

featherbee

i guess so. she's a retired teacher, you wouldn't think this would be an issue.

7:36 am

featherbee

i could tell she was totally po'd

7:37 am

Scrabbler

A bonk on the head for her from me, Featherbee. Balderdash.

7:37 am

featherbee

ty. i hate having people ticked with me. which is why i caved and called back.

7:37 am

Shawnee

it's applesauce, for pete's sake, and for the kiddos at that. as a fellow room mom, I can feel your frustration, feather

7:38 am

featherbee

the first time i was talking with her directly on my mom's cell (mom works at my school). mom turned her cell off, so i didn't get to talk with her the second time.

7:38 am

Uniquity

Did she explain why she had an issue with this? Something logical? Like an allergy? I know someone allergic to apples

7:38 am

featherbee

nope, she just didn't want to do it.

7:38 am

featherbee

but SHE WASN'T DOING IT! the room mother was! argh.

7:39 am

Uniquity

Wow. I would think her job was to follow the plan you as the main teacher had. Especially if she didn't even have to participate!

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Control, control, control.....causes problems in the world.

7:39 am

featherbee

argh argh argh.

7:39 am

featherbee

now i'm all annoyed.

7:40 am

featherbee

and annoyed that i called back and said fine we could do it tomorrow

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Deep cleansing breaths, Feather. Breathe in the peace, breathe out the stress. She is so NOT worth it.

7:45 am

7:46 am

periwinkle

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Also, you need to bring a consent letter from your daughter as you will have to sign consent for any immunizations.

7:46 am

SamanthaJoy

Yeah, peri I can't get the 9 or 10 from that clue either.

7:46 am

featherbee

7:47 am

Ahem, back from making coffee.

9:36 am

Vicuna

Butler would be lovely. Unless he's the type that silently sneers at the state he finds things in.

9:36 am

Scarlet

Checking your cupboards, Haz?

9:36 am

Atalante

poor Imran is now on hunger strike!

9:37 am

Scarlet

Awwww. Ata... has he been released from arrest?

9:37 am

Vicuna

Is "making coffee" a euphemism with you, Haz?

9:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, since George went, there's been a place ready.

9:37 am

FMitch

Butler is very understanding.
Hi Ata

9:37 am

Scarlet

LOL... good one, Vicuna!

9:38 am

Atalante

nope, he's still being kept in solitary confinement :(

9:38 am

Haz1558

FMitch has got a butler?

9:38 am

Vicuna

Uh oh, that could be serious for Imran.

9:38 am

Vicuna

Not any more, Haz. She's sending him over to me.

9:38 am

Scarlet

Is he considered such a threat to the mess that is the government now, Ata?

9:38 am

FMitch

yes Vi and I do want him back in one piece please.

9:39 am

Atalante

apparently so

9:39 am

Scarlet

Awful.

9:39 am

Vicuna

No problem, FM. But you don't want me to treat him so well that he wants to stay with me forever!

9:40 am

Scarlet

I would love to have a Wodehouse version...

9:40 am

Haz1558

Scarlet, if you had a Wodehouse version, you'd be laughing so hard you'd disgrace yourself.

9:40 am

redshoes

99.4 degrees is considered a low-grade fever, right? nothing too serious?

9:40 am

Scarlet

Perhaps, Haz, but it would be well worth it!

9:41 am

Scarlet

Red.. if the rest of you feels lousy, it is a harbinger of worse to come...

9:41 am

Haz1558

Oh I know. But I have to admit that the Fry and Laurie versions don't come close to the hilarity of the books. Or maybe it's just me.

9:41 am

Vicuna

Should be fine, Scarlet, if you have no other alarming symptoms.

9:42 am

Scarlet

I have to go back to Thorne Smith... his Skin and Bones made me hysterical for three days...

9:42 am

redshoes

huh... my comment didn't go through

9:42 am

Scarlet

Vi, it's redshoes... I feel great!

9:42 am

Haz1558

You only need to start worrying whenever you start spouting nonsense. That's why I check my temperature on a regular basis.

9:42 am

FMitch

Haz, as one that hasn't read the books, their rendition was very entertaining.

9:43 am

Haz1558

You haven't read the books? This is worse than me not knowing one end of Star Wars from Star Trek?

9:43 am

Vicuna

Ooops, deepest apologies, Scarlet and redshoes! I couldn't tell you apart through the crimson haze.

9:43 am

Haz1558

PHone....

9:43 am

FMitch

... when you START spouting nonsense ...?

9:43 am

Atalante

I haven;t either ...

9:43 am

Scarlet

LOL... that's Jimi's: Purple Haze!

9:44 am

Vicuna

Oh, leave Babble right now and sit down and read them, you deprived women!

9:44 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

9:44 am

Scarlet

LOL, FM... Hi, Eva... news?

9:45 am

EvaNadine

i wish!
heh

9:45 am

FMitch

but, but *sigh* I'll put them on the 'to be read' list.

9:45 am

Vicuna

No excuses! Your life is not complete until you read some Wodehouse!

9:45 am

Scarlet

Best get the schlepping done now while it is so warm outside. See you soon, Babble Nation... I still have 27 to find... and it will be my "reward" for yard work!

9:46 am

NonoNanette

bye bye scarlet have a great day

9:46 am

Vicuna

Bye, Scarlet!

9:46 am

FMitch

Bye Scarlet *waves*

9:46 am

Scarlet

Thank you, Nono...and listen to Vicuna... Wodehouse was totally insane... *waves back to FM*

9:47 am

FMitch

Sheesh, ever time I thinnk my lifes complete and I can rest on my laurels...

9:47 am

Shawnee

farewell Ms. Scarlet

9:48 am

Vicuna

*spending a quiet moment in "listen to Vi."* I like the sound of that.

9:48 am

Scarlet

'Ta, Shawnee! :-)

9:48 am

Scarlet

LOL... Vi...

9:49 am

FMitch

Grabs squishy cusion and sit down at Vi's feet waiting to catch the next pearl!

9:49 am

Vicuna

(Uh oh, the pressure's on!)

9:50 am

Vicuna

Ummmm... A tidy house denotes an empty life?

9:50 am

FMitch

Yay I like that one - my life is full then :)

9:51 am

Vicuna

Poltergeists make up the principal type of spontaneous material manifestation?

9:51 am

FMitch

but it can't be 'cos I hvent read Wodehouse. Im confused.
Pick up cushion and wanders over to PB to see if there is anything sugary left.

9:52 am

Vicuna

If Babble be the food of madness, play on!

9:53 am

Vicuna

(Whew, this wisdom stuff is harder than it looks. Maybe I'd better go back to being village idiot.)

9:53 am

FMitch

*nudges Ata* I remember Vi when she was so good at this.

9:53 am

FMitch

Awe (((Vi)))

9:53 am

Haz1558

I'm back. And I'll have to read back to see what I've missed.

9:54 am

Vicuna

Was that "awe" or "awwwww", because it kind of makes a difference!

9:54 am

Haz1558

And I'm so pleased to be backed up in the Wodehouse argument/persuasion.

9:55 am

FMitch

LOL I started with awe and ended in awww

9:55 am

Atalante

LOL

9:55 am

Haz1558

FMItch, the man was a comic genius, the most beautiful writer of prose with the ability to think up the most convoluted plots and get people on and out of escapades.

9:55 am

Vicuna

Shucks. I should have believed it when they said to be silent and be thought wise.

9:56 am

Haz1558

in and out of escapades. See, I'm breathless with the thought of FMitch not having read him.

9:56 am

Vicuna

Shocking, isn't it.

9:57 am

FMitch

I have a look for some Wodehouse at the next car boot fair.

9:57 am

Haz1558

It puts FMitch in a whole different light...

9:57 am

Vicuna

Explains why it's always her fault, though.

9:57 am

Haz1558

Make sure it's PG Wodehouse and not Barbara Wodehouse.

9:58 am

FMitch

Oh great, they are forecasting more rain for tomorrow :(
Ha Ha woof

9:58 am

Haz1558

Do you remember Barbara and her 'Walkies!'?

9:59 am

FMitch

HAve you seen how mean Ata is, she is making Hbbit wear a lampshade 3 sizes too big!
Yes I do Haz, remember we are more or less the same age.

9:59 am

Vicuna

Better too big than too small.

9:59 am

Atalante

it isn't! its cocker spaniel sized!

9:59 am

Haz1558

I've seen the lampshade, it's just a little big. Just what you'd know.

9:59 am

Uniquity

No ice cream containers then?

10:00 am

Haz1558

She looks as though she could receive signals from space.

10:00 am

Atalante

no, and I've cut it down since those photos LOL

10:00 am

FMitch

ROFL

10:00 am

Haz1558

Does she have stitches in the ear?

10:01 am

NonoNanette

why is hobbit wearing the 'lamp shade'?

10:01 am

Haz1558

Because the cat refused to.

10:01 am

Vicuna

Oh, dear. Poor Hobbit!!! =(

10:01 am

FMitch

It's definitely not a fashion statement, thats for sure.
LOOOL

10:02 am

Shawnee

never ceases to amaze me how a 16 month old can wreak such havoc

10:02 am

Atalante

no, no stitches. She's literally just scraped about a cm squared of skin off one ear. BUt she won't let it heal, she keeps making it bleed by scratching it

10:02 am

NonoNanette

good a reason as any i guess Haz :)

10:02 am

Haz1558

And is Hobbit now a dog of GLOOOOOOM?

10:02 am

Atalante

hahahahahaha

10:02 am

Atalante

She won't wag her tail!

10:02 am

Aryn

po6/21?

10:03 am

Haz1558

We cone had owners of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who took the collar off because the dog was 'huffing'.

10:03 am

NonoNanette

poor Hobbit. Has the vet given her anything to calm the itchy feelings

10:03 am

Haz1558

po6/21 - structured as with the glass container of beer, wines, spirits or milk.

10:04 am

Aryn

ty!

10:04 am

Atalante

oh no! silly people

10:04 am

Atalante

nope, but I've been putting antiseptics and a smidge of calamine on for her

10:04 am

Shawnee

no wag? poor pup. nothing sadder than sad puppy eyes and no wag

10:05 am

Atalante

no wag at alll :(

10:07 am

Haz1558

She's just punishing you. She's probably dying to wag her tail but is exercising savage self-discipine.

10:07 am

Atalante

lol probably!

10:07 am

FMitch

Yes you are right Haz, I bet she wags like anything when it's taken off.
ha ha

10:08 am

Haz1558

Of course, she could be worrying about what that terrier is going to say. After all, look at the fuss about her purple collar, a lampshade is going to render that dog mad with excitement.

10:08 am

Atalante

lol she's refusing to go outside!

10:09 am

Haz1558

That sounds like Spangle when there are fireworks going off. She shows unprecedented bladder control.

10:09 am

FMitch

How is the glittery one?

10:10 am

Haz1558

She's fine. Resting peacefully after a blustery walk this morning. Those injury free/non-lampshade affected ears got a good shaking about in the wind.

10:10 am

Vicuna

Alas, I actually have to take care of my children, and I'll miss all the news and there will be no fun and games for me. Back later, but by then you will all have gone off...

10:10 am

Vicuna

<-- Not wagging tail.

10:10 am

Haz1558

Oh Vicuna. What a shame! This is the nicest time to babble and everything.....

10:10 am

FMitch

Oh Bye Vicuna, mabe see you later.

10:12 am

Atalante

byeeee vi

10:12 am

FMitch

... and my tea is finished so technically so is my teabreak :(

10:12 am

Haz1558

So, pour another cup.

10:13 am

FMitch

Ummmmm OK I guess I could work a bit late as not going out tonight.

10:13 am

Haz1558

See, how easy was that?

10:14 am

Haz1558

A few hundred of me in the workplace and productivity would grind to a halt.

10:14 am

FMitch

I blame you, Im so weak willed at leaving once here!

10:14 am

Haz1558

Ah well, you might as well enjoy some happy times.

10:14 am

Atalante

yay fm, its so cold, tea is essential

10:14 am

EvaNadine

*le sigh*
i think my mom is upset that im not coming to thanksgiving this year...
i have to work in the office the next day + the BFs family is just *MUCH* more convenient! my parents are 2 hours away, and i have to be in early the next day...

10:14 am

Haz1558

Did you do the puzzle today?

10:15 am

FMitch

but first I think I will get another cup of tea BRB and no not doing the grid.

10:15 am

Haz1558

Has she said she's upset, or are you reading between the lines? Frosty silences, sobs over the phone, that kind of thing.

10:16 am

EvaNadine

heh, she hasnt said it outright, but she was definitely unthrilled over the phone...

10:16 am

EvaNadine

my parents kinda forget that not everyone is retired like they are. ;)

10:16 am

Haz1558

You'll just have to make an extra big effort at Christmas time.

10:17 am

Haz1558

It's because they love you and want you to be around at a traditional family time.

10:17 am

lizmac

Hi all.

10:17 am

EvaNadine

she even asked about christmas...i was like "well, yeah, im definitely PLANNING on coming down at christmas."
i cant fathom not spending christmas with my family...but at this point, thanksgiving just doesnt mean that much to me...

10:17 am

Haz1558

Hello liz - nice to see you.

10:17 am

Cherrypop

Apparently you are not married Eva or your family would have learned to share you on the holidays

10:17 am

NonoNanette

Hi Liz

10:18 am

EvaNadine

well, its recent that ive been in a relationship on the holidays...my brother is married, so you think theyd get used to it, but im the youngest + the girl, so its different. ;)

10:18 am

NonoNanette

why is it we parents can't seem to share our married children with their inlays

10:18 am

NonoNanette

inlaws sorry

10:19 am

Becca Lorum

Hi everyone

10:19 am

lizmac

I'm definitely fed up. I'm working Christmas Eve & Christmas Day 8pm to 8am both, AGAIN...not fair !!

10:19 am

Haz1558

Hello Becca.

10:19 am

NonoNanette

that does suck liz

10:19 am

Uniquity

oh liz, that's horrible

10:20 am

NonoNanette

my son always gets stuck working the holidays as well

10:20 am

Haz1558

Is that because you're covering for younger people with families?

10:20 am

Judi

Morning, all. Yeah, Liz... but just think of the holiday pay!

10:20 am

Becca Lorum

Yeah Liz that's terrible

10:21 am

EvaNadine

my mom pulls out the "but dont you want to see your nephews?" card...

10:21 am

lizmac

I remarried 4 years ago and have yet to spend a Christmas with him, AND son & girlfriend coming on Christmas Day.

10:21 am

FMitch

Back with mroe tea. That is rough Liz!

10:21 am

EvaNadine

as if i dont ALREADY feel bad about missing a holiday...

10:22 am

Uniquity

Four Christmases in a row? Always with same job?

10:22 am

montreal13

hi all - back with 65 words left - Christmas day Liz ?? that is rough...

10:22 am

FMitch

EvaN, sympathies. my Mum has been doing the 'well it might be my last one' but has now dropped that as after 6 years its lost the impact.

10:22 am

Haz1558

You'll just have to stick to your guns, Eva, but it's not nice coping with parental guilt.

10:22 am

lizmac

Holiday pay ? I'm a nurse for goodness sake!

10:22 am

NonoNanette

wb montreal

10:22 am

Judi

What are holidays without the GUILT??? My hubby's family is famous for that. Can't understand why we don't want to drive 5 1/2 hours to get to mom's house, pay $3.00 per gallon of gas and $100 per night hotel. What's wrong with US???

10:23 am

Becca Lorum

hi mont

10:23 am

Haz1558

Have them do the reverse journey, Judi and see how they like it.

10:23 am

Becca Lorum

Eva if it helps, they DO get over it if you stick to your guns!

10:24 am

Haz1558

Back in a minute, laundry to bring in.

10:24 am

EvaNadine

yeah. christmas actually works out pretty well because my brother likes to do christmas morning with his wife + kids at home, then head down to my parents house for dinner. that frees me up to do christmas morning with the BF and his family...but his family is much larger than mine, so last year, we were running very late getting to my parents house...so i think i need to be a little more adamant about what time we leave his familys place...heh

10:24 am

lizmac

Anyway, I'm in negotiations with a colleague (trying to send her on a guilt trip as she's off)

10:24 am

Judi

Trust me HAZ, that would NEVER happen. MIL is 84 years old and the rest of the family just doesn't like to travel. Go figure.

10:25 am

Uniquity

I'm still very young, but I have to fit in my mom, brothers and stepdad, my dad and brothers (three hours from mum) and my boyfriend of three years' family...the guilt is enormous and has resulted in my loathing of Christmas. What I want is irrelevant to certain family members.

10:25 am

FMitch

At least you stay in a hotel Judi

10:25 am

NonoNanette

seems only fair liz that holiday shifts should be rotated amongst workers

10:25 am

EvaNadine

youd think my parents would understand, since they left the whole COUNTRY...
but i guess that makes them want family holidays even more now, since they missed so many back then...

10:25 am

BabbleRabble

when is christmas this year?

10:25 am

Judi

Yes, well - his family is huge, so all the bedrooms and bathrooms are taken well before we get on the scene. Actually it's worth it to me to stay in a hotel. Don't like sharing my bathroom!

10:25 am

FMitch

Its been cancelled

10:26 am

EvaNadine

thankfully, chris + i have already started the christmas shopping. i got smart there!

10:26 am

Becca Lorum

My husband and I were very firm when we moved in together (before we were married) - we would spend Christmas at home alone then visit family before or after

10:26 am

Wyrd

hehehe..FMitch

10:26 am

Wyrd

hi everyone!

10:26 am

montreal13

was under the (false ?) impression that Thanksgiving in the US was more important, familywise, then Christmas...

10:26 am

FMitch

Hi Wyrd

10:26 am

Becca Lorum

Hi Wyrd

10:27 am

EvaNadine

depends on the family, i think, mont.

10:27 am

FMitch

Hi monty, that was my understanding too.

10:27 am

montreal13

hi there Wyrd !

10:27 am

Wyrd

oh i think Christmas is more important montreal

10:27 am

Judi

We've been getting the "I won't be around much longer" speach lately too. Although, her mother lived to be 100, and MIL is healthy as a horse (aside from her hypochondria).

10:27 am

Uniquity

From all I've heard of American Thanksgiving, it seems to be about sales more than anything

10:27 am

NonoNanette

hi Wyrd

10:27 am

lizmac

They just introduced a rota proper this year, I drew the short straw, I keep getting New Year off which I couldn't give a toss about LOL. Moan over!!

10:27 am

movieman

Clues for the 9 and the 10 plz

10:28 am

Wyrd

Sales arent really the big thing for Thanksgiving, all we buy really is food

10:28 am

EvaNadine

my parents (who are from london) have their favorite joke:

We also have Thanksgiving in England, but in America, you call it Independence Day.

10:28 am

Cherrypop

We have a large family Thanksgiving and have had for years. Christmas is usually spent with small family.

10:28 am

BabbleRabble

thanksgiving is a lot less commercial than christmas

10:28 am

FMitch

lol

10:28 am

montreal13

hi FM - same "sales" thing as our Chrstmases then Uni ?

10:28 am

NonoNanette

unfortunately uni its Christmas that has become all about sales..... it is so commercialized now

10:29 am

montreal13

lol Eva - good one

10:29 am

NonoNanette

Christmas displays were out in the stores way before Halloween even

10:29 am

Uniquity

I loathe Christmas...i went to the mall a week ago and decided it would be my last trip ubtil January because I was smashed by way too many rude shoppers!

10:29 am

Judi

LOL, Eva. Yes, Thanksgiving here is getting more and more commercialized. Black Friday trumps the holiday by a longshot. Every year I despise the holiday season more for it.

10:29 am

movieman

Clues for the 9 and the 10 plz

10:29 am

FMitch

I noticed that this year christmas advertising didn't really start until the end of October as opposed to beg. of Sept. in previous years.

10:29 am

Uniquity

I enjoy the family, but the pressure, guilt, etc has become greater than the fun...

10:30 am

Becca Lorum

Build from the sp7 MM

10:30 am

Haz1558

sp9/66 - build on the sp7, kitchen utensil, to make it descriptive.

10:30 am

BabbleRabble

if no one reminded me, both would pass in simplicity

10:30 am

EvaNadine

chris + i have been painting pottery pieces as gifts for family...is unique + personalized, fairly inexpensive, plus it gives us something to do with out time when we cant think of anything else to do...
the majority of whats left will be done online...
maybe ONE trip to the mall otherwise.

10:30 am

Cherrypop

Who is in charge for your thinking Judi? Don't let outside events influence your happiness

10:30 am

When I went on Nov. 1 to buy cheap Halloween candy, candy canes and X-Mas candy were already in full display.

are they going to smuggle him some food?

10:36 am

Merk

ty Haz

10:36 am

Haz1558

They said they would try, but if he's on hunger strike would he eat it?

10:36 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Merk.

10:36 am

I smell curry, better be off and make my ritual offer of help, back in a sec.

10:37 am

he might if they took him some M&S Melting Moment Chocoalte Puddings

FMitch

Ohhh the ones they are advertising on TV Ata?

10:37 am

Atalante

yup!

10:37 am

FMitch

M&S and so cruel, I hate them.

10:37 am

Haz1558

That might be construed as torture, though, Atalante. Waving that in front of a hunger striker would be cruel and unusual punishment.

10:38 am

Shawnee

She didn't care for it, in the 60's and 70's, said she felt like a druggie.

10:59 am

I think we should still keep our thinking caps on for good triplet names. You never know when they might come in handy.

If you're going with Haddock, you'd need Tuna and Flounder to go with him.

Enomis65

11:30 am

Becca Lorum

Not MY fault mont!

11:30 am

montreal13

i know becca, PURE coincidence is all...

11:31 am

Haz1558

Spaniels aren't very intimidating, full stop. They work by pester power and the influence of the eyes.

11:31 am

Shawnee

putting baby down for nap bbl

11:31 am

Vicuna

My children were asking me about being "dignified" this morning, and it occurred to me that I might not be the best model of that quality...

11:31 am

redshoes

oh my freaking goodness my head hurts!!!!

11:31 am

caitlyn

LOL Vic!

11:31 am

caitlyn

red go and have a lay down

11:31 am

FMitch

Oh heck, I had forgotten the eyes ... so hypnotic

11:31 am

Becca Lorum

11:32 am

Becca Lorum

can help sinus trouble

11:32 am

Becca Lorum

*hanging

11:32 am

redshoes

really? hanging upside down? well, I'll try anything right now.

11:32 am

Haz1558

If your sinuses are bunged up you may need antibiotics.

11:33 am

Vicuna

I can just see Becca sniggering wickedly as poor redshoes hangs upside-down.

11:33 am

Becca Lorum

No I'm not Vic - it's true that it can help!

11:33 am

Enomis65

redshoes, drink something hot and/or spicy - it will help. also, put some heat on your forehead and neck

11:33 am

Enomis65

and then hang upside down!

11:33 am

Haz1558

I managed to have sinusitus at Christmas time a few years ago. Spent Christmas Day dosed to the eyeballs, not smelling a thing. Go to the doctor if it hasn't subsided after a day or two.

11:34 am

redshoes

seriously... guess I should call the doc. booooo. ooooooh, I can do heat

11:34 am

redshoes

put a hot compress on my eyes earlier

11:34 am

redshoes

that was nice

11:34 am

Vicuna

I believe you Becca... But that doesn't mean she won't look silly!

11:34 am

redshoes

seriously... guess I should call the doc. booooo. ooooooh, I can do heat

11:34 am

caitlyn

LOL

11:34 am

Becca Lorum

True Vic, very true!

11:34 am

redshoes

started hurting today, but I'm heading out of town tomorrow for a week

11:35 am

Enomis65

one of my mother<s trick: put rice or barley in an old cotton sock. tie a knot. put sock in microwave for 3 minutes. put over eyes...

11:35 am

Vicuna

Oh, you'd better deal with it now, then.

11:35 am

Haz1558

Then go to the doctor today.

11:35 am

Becca Lorum

Yeah red, you need to get sorted fast if you're going away

11:35 am

redshoes

I actually have a rice thingy to heat.

11:36 am

redshoes

ok, you've convinced me. I'll call the doc.

11:36 am

Enomis65

that's even better redshoes

11:36 am

Haz1558

montreal13

Vicuna

Goodbye, Becca.

11:38 am

FMitch

Bye Becca

11:38 am

Becca Lorum

11:38 am

Haz1558

Becca's triplets are in our imagination, Enomis. Until the ultrasound......

11:38 am

Enomis65

ooohhh, i was scared for you!

11:38 am

Haz1558

Bye Becca - see you later!

11:39 am

Enomis65

triplets... hmmm the family is raised and done with after 5 years of hell - could be interesting!

11:39 am

debjed

help with the et4,4, please

11:39 am

caitlyn

Quads could be better

11:39 am

Haz1558

et4/4 - an anagram of a word meaning 'to satisfy'

11:39 am

Atalante

then we find they are really quadruplets

11:40 am

Vicuna

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

11:40 am

Haz1558

Or, an angram of a plural beverage.

11:40 am

Vicuna

(sorry. just a natural reaction to the word "quadruplets")

11:40 am

Enomis65

there's a show on tv with a family of sextuplets AND twins!!!

11:40 am

Haz1558

Any advance on sextuplets?

11:41 am

caitlyn

I bet there is never a dull moment there then

11:41 am

FMitch

Right I'm off too, going to get an early supper and then catch up on the work Haz sidetracked me from!
Happy Babbling TTFN.

11:41 am

Vicuna

So I hear. But anyone who has a set of multiples, and then goes on to have more children of any sort has only themselves to blame.

11:41 am

debjed

ty for the et

11:41 am

Enomis65

i'm new to this discussion so I will abstain...

11:41 am

caitlyn

Bye FMitch

11:41 am

Vicuna

Goodbye, FM!

11:41 am

angel13136

hello!!!!!

11:41 am

11:41 am

caitlyn

Hi angel

11:42 am

FMitch

lol *poof*

11:42 am

montreal13

Later FM

11:42 am

Haz1558

Husband has clients who had two sets of twins about a year apart.

11:42 am

Vicuna

Don't underestimate your sidetracking skill, Haz.

11:42 am

Haz1558

Oh, could that be on my Babble job description - Sidetracker?

11:42 am

redshoes

ok, dr. appt made.

11:43 am

redshoes

11:43 am

montreal13

take care red

11:43 am

caitlyn

Bye red

11:43 am

Haz1558

Well done red. Tell him what we think is wrong, in case he can't figure it out for himself.

11:43 am

Vicuna

Goodbye, redshoes. I hope you get fixed up in short order.

11:43 am

angel13136

bye red

11:44 am

Haz1558

It must be exhausting (multiple births) and I reckon you would only get through it by either being wildly in control or accepting of chaos.

11:45 am

Vicuna

I don't think more than 2 can be done without major help in the form of relatives and/or nannies.

11:46 am

Haz1558

I think you're right.

11:46 am

caitlyn

The walton sextuplets have grown into a lovely family i think they are very organised

11:46 am

Haz1558

caitlyn - I was always very impressed with the Waltons any time I saw them on. They seemed to be organised but so loving of their girls as individuals.

11:47 am

caitlyn

And the parents were always so calm

11:47 am

montreal13

gotta go with 24 left - the chat room has been more interesting then the grid itself !- thank you all for a great time, as always - happy babbling all !

11:47 am

Haz1558

Yes, it struck me that if you could choose parents to have sextuplets, it would be them.

11:48 am

Vicuna

Goodbye, montreal!

11:48 am

caitlyn

Bye montreal see you soon

11:48 am

Haz1558

Bye montreal - thanks for the company.

Vicuna

any hints on the aw4,8

11:55 am

duskypt

when you write wa5/2o what do you mean?

11:55 am

Haz1558

It's a 5 part series, caitlyn, and I'm sure they will repeat it.

11:55 am

duskypt

or qw4,8

11:56 am

nurse1000

Good morning everyone. wonder if anyone has the following ? al5/10 - second one. po6/21 , to5/12, to4/4 and to5/18. I get close to the end and just can't think anymore. Ty for any help.

11:56 am

duskypt

aw4,8 i meant

11:56 am

EspritdJean

that's a 5 letter word worth 20 pts starting with wa, dusky

11:56 am

Haz1558

wa5/20 - a word of five letters that begins with wa and which yields 20 points (4 letter words are the value of the tiles, 5 letters are doubled, 6 letters are tripled)

11:56 am

Haz1558

al5/10 - double the consonant of the second al4/4

11:56 am

duskypt

thx haz

11:56 am

Haz1558

po6/21 - the same structure as a glass container for wine.

11:56 am

Wyrd

for all you sickly people out there, remember, cracker jacks ARE vitamins

11:57 am

caitlyn

Hi nurse

11:57 am

Haz1558

to5/12 - a heavy weight, followed by the wedding word of promise.

11:57 am

Sandieangel

hi all - can anyone clue me the sp 10 - got all the ones around it but just can't monkey this one.

11:58 am

Haz1558

to5/18 - used to dry oneself after a bath

11:58 am

Haz1558

Sandie - sp10 - put a consonant after the sp4/5, then continue as with sp9

11:58 am

Haz1558

to4/4 - plural of a heavy weight

11:59 am

nurse1000

Hi Caitlyn,

11:59 am

nurse1000

Haz - Wow, are you good today.

11:59 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

11:59 am

EspritdJean

not understanding that po6 clue :-(

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Esprit - if it began with a b, it would hold wine or spirits. It's the same structure.

12:00 pm

Glad you got it, Esprit.

12:01 pm

Haz1558

So you've finished, nurse? Congratulations!

12:01 pm

caitlyn

Congrats nurse!!

12:02 pm

nurse1000

I'm finished, but would not have made it without you guys!! TY. funny how things just go blank after awhile. Eas "to "and just couldn't see it.

12:03 pm

Atalante

there's a grid? where? *looks*

12:03 pm

caitlyn

LOL Ata

12:03 pm

Haz1558

I know the feeling. I had a hard time convincing myself that so4/5 and so4/6 were words.

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Over there (eyes left)

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Has Hobbit forgotten herself yet and wagged her tail?

12:04 pm

Atalante

oh yes! so there is!

12:04 pm

Vicuna

That's so funny you said that, Haz, because the minute you did, I knew which words you were talking about... and I didn't have them yet.

12:04 pm

nurse1000

Haz, love your dog!

12:04 pm

Sandieangel

can anyone clue me the sp5/12 - last one plz?

12:04 pm

Haz1558

They look so unlikely, don't they, VIcuna?

12:04 pm

Haz1558

She's very pretty, isn't she, nurse?

12:05 pm

Haz1558

sp5/12 - the noise when liquid hits the floor. Beloved of comic book writers.

12:05 pm

Vicuna

Yes, and I pronounce them in my head all strangely.

12:05 pm

nurse1000

I'm a big dog lover. Had several labs who lived until 15+. Now without animals and it's just not the same.

12:05 pm

Sandieangel

Ty Haz!

12:06 pm

Atalante

*refresh for my non-wiggly dog*

12:06 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome Sandie.

12:06 pm

caitlyn

nurse adopt a stray ..we have just done that from a rescue centre and it the best thing we could have done..she has bought life back into the home

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Oh poor Hobbit. I'm laughing but sympathetically.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Talk about a reproachful gaze....

12:07 pm

Haz1558

How's the puppy coming along caitlyn?

12:08 pm

Atalante

when do we get photos?

12:08 pm

nurse1000

When we have dogs, they actually own the house and we just live there. What kind of stray, Caitlyn? Actually, the labs were all mixtures but all had wonderful dispositions. How can people abuse an animal is something I'll never understand.

12:09 pm

Flask1

clue for po6/21 please?

12:09 pm

caitlyn

She is brilliant Haz..very good..no puddles or chewing with her only problem is pulling on the lead..soon sort that out i hope
My camera is playing up at the moment i am working on it though

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Hello Flask - po6/21 - if it began with a b, it would be a glass container for wine, spirits or even milk.

12:09 pm

caitlyn

nurse she is a lab x staff

12:10 pm

Ouwachita

brain dead today...cant find the al5/10...not the one that means away from the wind...help?

12:10 pm

Haz1558

That's great, caitlyn. I'm glad she settled in so quickly and the pulling on the lead can be sorted out, you're right.

12:10 pm

nurse1000

I don't get that one , Caitlyn. lab x staff?

12:11 pm

caitlyn

nurse she is a cross labrador with a staffordshire

12:11 pm

Flask1

thanx Haz!.....what a strange word!!

12:11 pm

Haz1558

al5/10 - can be either a plus not early or Everyone, plus two vowels (being a doubling of the consonants of second al4/4)

12:11 pm

Haz1558

I know, Flask. But then, this IS babble.

12:11 pm

Ouwachita

thanks haz...got it

12:11 pm

Flask1

True!!...;-)

12:11 pm

Flask1

True!!...;-)

12:12 pm

nurse1000

Sounds beautiful. And was a stray? Did you get her at the "pound"? SPCA is what we call that in the US

12:12 pm

Haz1558

Great, Ouwachita.

12:12 pm

caitlyn

Yes nurse

12:12 pm

Haz1558

And now I really should do something about food for the evening meal. It's been fun in the log this afternoon. See you again!

12:12 pm

nurse1000

Good luck with her, but you sound as if you will be a good "mommy" to her.

12:13 pm

caitlyn

Bye Haz

12:13 pm

Vicuna

Goodbye, Haz. Enjoy your meal.

12:13 pm

Atalante
