Congrats Kitty!

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

family escaping after WWII from Hungary to America; having to leave behind an infant.. how they were reunited... child's homesickness for other home... really poignant ... especially since Writer/director is person upon whom story is based

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

Scarlett Johanssen plays older teen...

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

some of film is in Budapest

1:47 am

1:48 am

moonwoof

You didnt expect it to be really good?

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

no, I really didn't...

1:49 am

moonwoof

That's even better then =)

1:49 am

VolleymomDee

they did a superb job of casting; great character development; some twists; some very sad parts... joy...

1:50 am

moonwoof

Those can be really great movies. The ones you dont expect.

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

one odd reaction... I felt so blessed to have been born and raised in America without repression... one important couple had their house confiscated by Hungarian government... just because they wanted property

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

I can't fathom living in that environment

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

the DVD has a commentary by the person upon story is based, which really made it interesting... the entire movie was filmed in 31 days

1:52 am

moonwoof

Me neither. But it's happened here, too, if I recall. But it's nice sometimes to have those reminders. Refreshing, even.

1:52 am

moonwoof

Wow. That's quick.

1:52 am

2:18 am

oh wow Kiwi, good! How did it turn out?

2:18 am

GroovyKiwi

he said we will sort it out later - i said when later - he said he would ring me tonight - but he hasnt called yet and its 9.15

2:18 am

great question kiwi & great way to pose it

2:19 am

the kids have left a msg on his cell and keiran has text him but no response

2:19 am

the ass. But GOOD for you! You are my hero, Kiwi.

2:19 am

has he admitted it then, Kiwi? There is no room for minunderstanding anymore?

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

ditto what sprite said

2:19 am

GroovyKiwi

my stomachs back in knots but the sedative is helping lol

2:19 am

GroovyKiwi

no he hasnt admitted anything yet kitty

2:20 am

GroovyKiwi

aww shucks

2:20 am

sprite

he better contact his kids soon, grrrrrrrr. *hugs*

2:20 am

kittychan

that's going to be wrenching. If he denies what you are pretty sure is true and if you start to doubt and wonder..... blah blah blah

2:20 am

jillibus

what is he waiting for, kiwi?

2:20 am

GroovyKiwi

but he talked to the boys this morning and logan found out that he is living down the road from the prison and that dad reckoned he would take them to see where he lives one day - not sure what to make of that

2:21 am

GroovyKiwi

to be truthful i think hes waiting till he goes away at the end of the month so he doesnt have to sort his $hit out till he gets back

2:21 am

GroovyKiwi

and if he does that then fine so long as hes still paying the mortgage and i still have access to his bank account lol

2:22 am

jillibus

I have no experience with this sort of thing but my instinct says get a lawyer before he flits

2:22 am

sprite

can I whisper politely that he is a jerk, Kiwi!

2:22 am

GroovyKiwi

no need to whisper sprite - hes the an 4/4 in the grid again tonite lol

2:23 am

GroovyKiwi

jilli if he doesnt contact me by sunday night i have an appt already booked with the lawyer for monday

2:23 am

atta girl, kiwi

2:23 am

Kiwi, that is great of you. You are really handling this as a tiger and not as a lamb.

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

I think jili is right on; you need to protect yourself and ensure that you have access to needed funds

2:23 am

Jellen

Good for you, Kiwi.

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

his bad behavior/mid life crisis does not constitute a reason for him not to pay your bills

2:25 am

sprite

penopause is no reason for anything at all, least of all bad shit. Forgive my french.

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

agreed

2:25 am

jillibus

love that! penopause!!!

2:26 am

;)

2:26 am

GroovyKiwi

usually call it manopause

2:26 am

also a nice one, Kiwi :)

2:26 am

Jellen

That is a good term for what my ex is going through too.

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

here we call it ... man thinking with the wrong head (sorry if too crass), but it is what happened to my dad right after my mom died

2:28 am

sprite

that sounds very accurate, Dee.

2:28 am

kittychan

did your dad marry a woman half his age, Dee?

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

almost 20 years younger, and she was nothing but a gold digger; when he became very ill, (still makes me cry), she abandoned him... said it was too stressful, so she stayed doped up on drugs and slept or "floated" through days when we were at Mayo Clinic

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

I still have to confess to God that I have not forgiven her... still working on it (and he died in 98)

2:30 am

sprite

omg Dee, that hurts so much :(

2:30 am

GroovyKiwi

my dads third wife is only 8 years older than me

2:30 am

kittychan

I knew a couple and when the wife died the husband took up with a 40 yr old. He was 80.

2:30 am

kittychan

When he was diagnosed with pacreatic cancer he decided to marry her to boot.

2:31 am

kittychan

All three are people I know from church too!

2:31 am

sprite

age difference doesn't have to be a problem, as long as there is love. And they are good for each other.

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

her pic is by the word bitch in the dictionary ... wow kiwi... odd thing... our daughter was about 10 when they first started dating... after very first time she met her, Linds said to us... I don't like her... pretty perceptive

2:32 am

kittychan

What I saw was not love. You should not bring a date to your wife's memorial servie!

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

true sprite

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

ick kitty for sure

2:32 am

funny how widowers seem to find new wives easily but it doesn't work the other way.

2:32 am

sprite

omg never. How inconsiderate (I am being polite here)

2:33 am

VolleymomDee

yeah I wondered about that too, jili... we always said, "beware of widows with casseroles"... they started showing up immediately after my mom's funeral

2:33 am

kittychan

He died a few months later and now that awful woman has the house that children of the original pair ought to have gotten. Just a shame.

2:33 am

sprite

jilli, that is because there aren't many men who deserve a woman like you. You wouldn't settle for a gold digger who would leave you at the first sign of trouble.

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

here, too kitty, she is spending my daughter's inheritance, and I feel very sinful about how I feel towards her about that

2:34 am

jillibus

I ain't got no gold to be dug, lol!

2:34 am

sprite

Dee, there is nothing wrong with true anger. *hug*

Lore The pic is of this little tiny possum i just found on the side on the road

herinfernallady

What is wrong lore

3:02 am

sprite

3:03 am

lynxxx

drop some words Lore - goodness knows I need them

3:03 am

herinfernallady

shite lore im so sorry

3:03 am

sprite

how terrible, lore!

3:04 am

loredana

upon retgurning home rang insurance co got the flyscreen and window sorted so they replaced the glass that night told them i was in no fit state to do the contents as i was feeling very violated and could not workout what might be stolen... of course the first concen was they had not touched or let any of my kids out

3:05 am

sprite

indeed so, lore!

3:05 am

herinfernallady

Lore big hugs

3:05 am

loredana

took the day off work today to ring the insurance company with the missing items three hours later was told to take all the receipts into the nearest office and then the claim would be started

3:07 am

herinfernallady

Lore i am so sorry that happened to you

3:07 am

loredana

then go to the bank to tell them we had bank bags (which we had collected from the bank on tuesday ) and that could they check their CT if there was anyhthing that looked out of the ordinary please advise us then i would approach the police and they could have a look to see if there were any known persons that could be conected to the crime

3:08 am

sprite

so far so good, lore... but I have the feeling some more bad is coming...

3:09 am

loredana

this afternoon had the bank manager ring me and she said too hard basket you are insured why are you doing the police work my son rang the insurance company to verify some of the electronic things and was told that the file had been handed over to some other company that would be in touch

3:10 am

loredana

i feel as though i am the criminal and very violated as i am the victim so at the moment life sucks but i will spring back

3:11 am

lynxxx

The insurance 'handover' is normal nowadays...we had the same thing happen recently. there are companies that arrange replacement of identical items for Insurance claims. Was quite a good service actually. The only item they couldn't exactly replace they paid us out in in a matter of days

3:11 am

loredana

ironically i also called at the local shopping centre to ask if anyone had been trying to cash coins for notes no luck decided to go to fruit and veg shop get the kids tea and got everything paid for it turned round to pick it up and YES IT HAD BEEN STOLEN ..... no tears must laugh!!! THE END lol

3:11 am

sprite

it sucks all ways, lore. *hugs*
Let me hold the punch bag for you so you can vent off some steam.
I am so so sorry you have to go through this. I hope the police and the insurance will do their jobs and compensate what can be compensated. It sucks to have your house violated though, it really does.

3:12 am

sprite

what???? that is the limit. I am so sorry, hun.

3:13 am

lynxxx

Unfortunately you are just another number for the police and insurance...but you are not to us Lore! hw are you in the house, I think it must be unnerving to be robbed

pinkhatlil

oh, he's like that. All he is thinking about is his own selfish needs, not the happiness of your child and surely the judge will see that for his/herself

4:33 am

herinfernallady

Brookie now i remember der slow uptake. Well it will get sorted

4:33 am

loredana

i agree Pink all he is doing is going to go against him

4:34 am

loredana

the judge will see it the way Pink has said

4:34 am

Brookie

i hope that the truth eventually prevails. that's what i'm counting on.

4:34 am

pinkhatlil

he is holding your son hostage in this battle and it is so unfair on the child, he is trying to spite you for leaving him

4:36 am

Brookie

i just pray that my son is doing OK during this time.

4:36 am

pinkhatlil

justice will be done Brookie, and you will have your baby back its just a matter of time, the truth will prevail as you said!

4:36 am

herinfernallady

I don't know if this works

4:36 am

pinkhatlil

does he allow your baby to call you at all?

4:37 am

Brookie

no, he won't allow it. i've even asked the dept. of social services to ask him.

4:39 am

loredana

yep it worked ...did you see i put the aussie slang site up? its interesting

4:39 am

pinkhatlil

that is disgusting, an utter disgrace!! he is hurting your son, by not allowing him to call you. He is petty, and completely self absorbed!!

4:40 am

pinkhatlil

what an ass wipe!

4:40 am

herinfernallady

I did Lore

4:40 am

herinfernallady

Lore did you like the toy

4:40 am

herinfernallady

opps the toes

4:41 am

loredana

lovely it would of needed hand feeding not very old hey

4:41 am

Brookie

i know it all sounds really crazy, and maybe we should change the subject, but long story short, my ex has been lying through his teeth to the authorities and getting away with it. so i'm going to keep on telling the truth and maybe someone will believe me. ok, enough about me :-)

4:42 am

herinfernallady

I don't know it had a lot of fur but i think it had just come out of the pouch

4:43 am

herinfernallady

Brookie as long as you have supervised access you will prove him to be a creep. Right now you need to focus on you and that baby inside you. It is important for you health.

4:43 am

Brookie

thanks so much. sorry for hogging up chat space with my problems

4:44 am

pinkhatlil

dont be silly Brookie, your not hogging chat i just wish there was something i could do to help!!

4:45 am

Brookie

4:45 am

herinfernallady

And Brook i don't mean forget everyone else but you can't be over stressed with bub inside it wont help you. Hugs. Sorry im being such a Mum even though i don't have kids

4:46 am

Brookie

i appreciate everyone's support. i'm happy to move on to happier topics :-)

4:48 am

pinkhatlil

we all get stress and major problems, where that normally bubbly, positive person takes a back seat and the raw emotions surface its called being human. Anyway no more on the subject :)

4:48 am

pinkhatlil

i am so uninspired by this ghastly grid!

4:49 am

herinfernallady

I am watching Empire Records

4:49 am

herinfernallady

I am finding it easier to pick a letter and work off that

4:49 am

pinkhatlil

4:49 am

pinkhatlil

4:50 am

herinfernallady

Empire Records is one of LIv TYlers first films

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Hi Lori + Uniquity! Good morning to you way up there in Nova Scotia!

6:27 am

Jacula

I think 'catcon' should be a word. My cat tries that on all the time... tells the one who didn't feed him that he's starving! He's a proper Six Dinner Sid, given the change. We now have a little sign that the one who feeds him turns accordingly. 'Cat's been fed/Feed the cat'.

6:28 am

LoriP

hey, there are no re words! Yea! ***doing the no re words dance***

6:28 am

lilliann

my cat's like that jac, but it's only me that feeds him, probably as he knows i'm the daft and soft one, and his meow is awful, so he knows i'll feed him to shut him up!!

6:30 am

herinfernallady

OH and i out something on lay buy today that is very cool

6:30 am

lilliann

Time to get ready for my tennis match. Then I will cross-country ski. I shall return here later. Enjoy the day everyone.

6:31 am

lilliann

good idea jac! LOL

6:31 am

Jandy

Oh, you couldn't tape a spoodle...

6:31 am

Jandy

He'd cry and sook and carry on like a pork chop.

6:31 am

Jacula

'Bye Scrabbs.

6:32 am

carleekat

ok...gotta get hubby fed adn out door for work..back in an hour or so

6:32 am

Jacula

Is a spoodle a spaniel x poodle?

6:32 am

herinfernallady

Later Carlee ill likely be in bed then

6:32 am

Jandy

See you Scrabs and carl

6:32 am

lilliann

bye scrabs....i don't know where you get the energy from!!

6:32 am

Jacula

I've never heard a pork chop do anything other than spit and sizzle. Or is that what you meant, Jandy?;)

6:32 am

Jandy

It is indeed. I think they call them cockapoos in the US. That wouldn't work here...

6:32 am

lilliann

bye carlee

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Lil, I do have my lazy time, especially when I am here for hours.

6:33 am

Jacula

Jandy - LOL. Cockapoos wouldn't work here either.

6:33 am

NonoNanette

bye bye scrabs

6:33 am

KatieMcG

not as lazy as my lazy hours :-)

6:33 am

Jandy

It's probably a particularly appropriate comparison to a pork chop in this situation... but it's just one of those sayings...

6:34 am

lilliann

hi katie....or mine!!

6:34 am

herinfernallady

Katie your family Diem was here earlier

6:35 am

KatieMcG

Oh I missed him, I'll get him over the weekend :-)

6:35 am

herinfernallady

Is he your Uncle?

6:37 am

KatieMcG

yes herin he is Mari's brother

6:37 am

KatieMcG

I'd better go as I have visitors. See you all later :-)

6:38 am

NonoNanette

bye bye katie have a nice visit

6:38 am

herinfernallady

Ok

6:38 am

herinfernallady

Later Katie

6:38 am

herinfernallady

Oh i have something very cool i found today

6:39 am

Jandy

Do tell...

6:40 am

herinfernallady

I was at Kmart and i lay buyed a quilt set. Its faux fur giraffe print

6:41 am

Jandy

That's kind of kinky.... are you very very tall?

6:41 am

Jacula

Oh, my daughter'd like that. She's in4 giraffe prints at present.

6:41 am

herinfernallady

Yep. I am 5 10

6:41 am

herinfernallady

I feel in love with it and had to have it

6:41 am

herinfernallady

Jac does your daughter have a Single bed?

6:42 am

Jandy

I could sense it! Perfect then. I love it when you find something your heart just has to have...

6:42 am

Jacula

*No4 to self. If Jandy thinks the giraffe print's kinky, better not mention our leopard and tiger ones.*

6:42 am

Jacula

Herin - No. It's a double.

6:42 am

herinfernallady

Drat i was going to suggest buying the fabric and making a cover yourself

6:42 am

Jandy

I wouldn't worry Jacula - I have a living, snoring, spoodle fur cover. Nothing faux about it..

6:43 am

Jacula

I think it might be rather expensive to ship the material from Oz., Herin.

6:44 am

herinfernallady

Jac i am sure that you have Fabric stores there? I bought the last one

6:44 am

Jacula

Give me the website it's on if you have it.

6:44 am

movieman

that no7 is STILL kicking my proverbial

6:45 am

Jacula

Herin - not so many fabric stores (haberdashers) these days. People just don't make stuff anymore.:( My fave knitting wool shop closed down the other week.

6:45 am

herinfernallady

um I know that i got it from Kmart. Drat that is sad

6:46 am

GraceM

I have an no7 that is the opposite of coke.

6:46 am

GraceM

or, the un-coke.

6:47 am

movieman

That's it, ty, ty Grace!!!!!

6:47 am

Anniebrook

nocola?

6:47 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone!

6:48 am

Jandy

Rats... I wasn't looking for it and now it's hurting my head

6:48 am

movieman

That Enable dictionary is as much use as a wax fireguard!!!!!!

6:48 am

GraceM

yw

6:48 am

Jandy

Hi Annie

6:48 am

Anniebrook

Hi Jandy!

6:48 am

herinfernallady

We have heaps of places

6:48 am

herinfernallady

Hi anyone i missed

6:49 am

Anniebrook

hi herin!

6:51 am

herinfernallady

How goes it?

6:52 am

Anniebrook

I had root canal work on a back tooth and I survived!

6:52 am

Jandy

Thanks Grace - I finally got the no7!

6:52 am

Jacula

Well, I've never heard diet coke referred to as no7, but that's what it is!

6:53 am

GraceM

glad to help. Anyone have the ac7?

6:53 am

Anniebrook

all I keep seeing is nocola

6:53 am

GraceM

add a con to that annie

6:53 am

Jacula

Annie - add another consonant in 3rd place.

6:53 am

Jacula

ac7 ends in 'not day'.

6:54 am

Jandy

I do Grace.... ac, vowel, not the day

6:54 am

Jacula

(It's a buttercup.)

6:54 am

GraceM

thx--got it

6:54 am

lshult

hi everyone

6:55 am

herinfernallady

Hi Is

6:55 am

Anniebrook

got it, thanks!

6:55 am

carleekat

hi all..can everyone spare a thinking cap for a moment?

6:56 am

herinfernallady

Yep

6:56 am

lshult

could use help with the 8's & 9's????

6:56 am

nDanLia

it's the old 7-up commercial phrase, Jacula

6:56 am

Anniebrook

hi {{carlee}}

6:56 am

lshult

finding this grid particularly hard!!!!

6:56 am

carleekat

my 11 year old daughter just caught hubby and I in a compromsing situtation.... no maybes....and now she is hiding in her room until dad leaves

6:56 am

Jacula

Oh, thanks, Dan. I must've missed that ad!

6:57 am

nDanLia

well, my kiddies get to sleep an extra 2 hrs; too much ice on roads

6:57 am

GraceM

eek

6:57 am

Jandy

Oh, heck. Awkward for everyone, especially at that age

6:57 am

GraceM

time for the birds and bees methinks

6:57 am

Jacula

She'll get over it, carlee. It's a funny age - they do react badly.

6:57 am

lshult

time for the "talk" car

6:58 am

herinfernallady

Carlee time to talk to her about natural human interaction. I bet shes siting in there dieing of embarrasment as we speak

6:58 am

carleekat

she/ we have had the "talk"

6:58 am

carleekat

she knows

6:58 am

Jandy

Take her for a drive and an icecream.. oh wait, you're snowed in. You can use it to reassure her that you and your husband have a close and stable relationship, if that helps...]

6:58 am

GraceM

then she needs to be reminded there's nothing to be embarassed about between consenting adults

6:59 am

lshult

"mummy loves daddy"......"expression of that love".... you know the one!!!!!!

6:59 am

herinfernallady

I have busted my parents before

6:59 am

Jacula

You'll have to explain that it's a natural expression of love between a couple. Like I said, it's a funny age. I'll bet YOU thought, 'YUK!' when first told about the mechanics of sex.

6:59 am

Jandy

The first thing I would say is "How embarassing was THAT for everyone@@"

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Heck my parents are 65 and 67 and like to torment me to this day about their sex life

6:59 am

carleekat

( not really...my parents divorced at 5.....no parents to "bust" and no boyfrineds either until I was 24 )

7:00 am

lshult

also time to put a lock on the door!?!

7:00 am

Anniebrook

talk to her about love and closeness between husbands and wives and that she should not be emabarrassed....time to lock the door and talk about knocking before entering

7:00 am

Jandy

but without that weird punctuation

7:00 am

carleekat

we were in the kitchen....its a snow day...she was up late..who'd have thought my 10 in the am daughter would get up at 7:30

7:00 am

Jacula

Our 3 know to knock a door before entering now.

7:00 am

herinfernallady

Carlee i guess you could always start the conversation with 'I guess that was embarrassing for you'

7:01 am

lilliann

i walked in on my mam and dad when i was about 13 and couldn't look at my dad for days as i was so embarrassed!

7:01 am

carleekat

ok... thanks

7:01 am

Jacula

She's probably disinfecting the kitchen table as we speak, carlee!

7:01 am

GraceM

ah, maybe a promise to her that you'll be more considerate of her surroundings as well?

7:01 am

Jandy

I must admit, herin, that one of the few ways I can control my large, adult sons is to threaten to tell them what we've been doing...

7:01 am

Uniquity

Conversations are over-rated! I never want to talk about it when I catch people, parents or otherwise...

7:01 am

pinkhatlil

hello again!!

7:01 am

GraceM

I mean, the kitchen is her domain too right?

7:02 am

Jandy

LOL Jacula - she'll be asking for takeout for weeks

7:02 am

herinfernallady

Carlee you could always start with ' That was embarrassing, so what do you think or don't you want to talk about it?

7:02 am

carleekat

( nothing li ke livening up the chat on a friday )

7:03 am

herinfernallady

I beat shell go ' MUM' in that ewww voice

7:03 am

Uniquity

I don't think it'll ever turn out good..I am eight years older than her and still don't want to talk about catching my parents...

7:03 am

Jandy

The only good news, Carlee, is that from my experience it will all blow over in a couple of days and she'll be teasing you about it in a couple of years...

7:03 am

lilliann

well it took my mind of this horrible grid!! LOL

7:03 am

Jacula

I have to go for a while now. I will be checking back on the chat.:)

7:03 am

herinfernallady

We were never born we were hatched from eggs

7:04 am

Jandy

Well, maybe more that a couple, after Uniquity's comment..

7:04 am

carleekat

yes..and today when everyone is cursing the grid..everyone can come back and tease me...

7:04 am

Uniquity

There's a difference between knowing and seeing/hearing, Herin...

7:04 am

LoriP

***barely restraining my laughter. Welcome to the real world kiddo. No shame in any of it. It's reality.***

7:04 am

Jacula

lil - it took my mind off the grid, too. Unfortunately, Other Half is at work!;)

7:04 am

carleekat

no t ashamed... just worried abouther...she has had a rough year...

7:05 am

lilliann

rofl jac!!

7:05 am

herinfernallady

Uni My parents are over 65 and they tease me. Like ' Since its your dads birthday i saw this stuff on the net and well were going to bed early' I always go la la la don't wanna know

7:05 am

Jacula

carlee - she'll calm down. After all, it was her parents she 'caught' not one of you with someone else! It should reassure her you're a stable couple. (no pun intended)

7:06 am

LoriP

Well, rough years are also a part of life unfortunately. Worry is normal, but IMO you can't overindulge it. It's a perfectly normal life moment.

7:06 am

Uniquity

That I can handle...easily. It's the seeing/hearing that is traumatising...Lol

7:06 am

lilliann

i caught my mam and dad afew times as i got older uni as they forgot i was in half the time, my dad was more embarrassed in the end than me, not its a family joke!

7:06 am

Jacula

Must go now. BBL.

7:06 am

Jandy

Yep, if you make too much of it she'll think there's more to it than she understands...

7:06 am

herinfernallady

Carlee you should sit down with her and have an open and honest discussion with her. Let her talk about her feelings and stuff

7:06 am

Jandy

Bye Jac

7:06 am

carleekat

later jacs..thanks

7:06 am

Uniquity

Oh Carlee, it'll be fine. Odds are high you feel worse than her...she likely wants to forget about it and have a girl's night. Also, spoiling her right now would be a bad idea or she will become smart and catch you all the time so she can get treats!

7:06 am

herinfernallady

Uni heard them too. Just block it out

7:06 am

LoriP

That's why we bought Uni a stereo. to tunr it up, and drown out potential noise......

7:07 am

GraceM

not to harp, but I do think if she's feeling vulnerable for other reasons, that's all the more reason to assure her she can feel comfortable in her own home (ie. not worrying about an X-rated encounter in the kitchen or laundry room or whereever.)

7:07 am

herinfernallady

OH the other one. Gee that was embarising you were up early kido

7:07 am

Uniquity

I can't comment cuz my mummy is here...But she is hard to block out!

7:08 am

lilliann

lol lori!!

7:08 am

herinfernallady

lol. Uni now is the perfect pay back time

7:08 am

Jandy

oh, the dirty laundry is all coming out now...

7:08 am

Jandy

oh, the dirty laundry is all coming out now...

7:08 am

Uniquity

But..my stereo broke before a whole year was up...and that was 7 or 8 years ago

7:09 am

Jandy

ROFL.... earplugs...

7:09 am

Uniquity

It explains why I liked to sleep with my head under blankets...

7:09 am

Uniquity

:D

7:09 am

LoriP

heh heh heh

7:10 am

lilliann

a stero gets rid of the noise but not the vibrations or the shaking of the house!!

7:10 am

Jandy

I think I am about to abandon all hope of finishing this horrible grid... the chat is much better, it's after midnight and I still have 104 to go. It just aint going to happen...

7:11 am

lilliann

my mam and dad just use to turn the tv up....probably why i'm deaf now!!

7:11 am

LoriP

It's all well and funny, but it happens. It's not that traumatising, just a reality shock.

7:11 am

Uniquity

She'll be over it in no time stat...

7:12 am

carleekat

i'm just WAITING for hubby to leave so can talk to her

7:12 am

herinfernallady

Oh wow i didn't realise it was that late Jandy thanks.

7:12 am

carleekat

but of course....he' snot LEAVING for an other 20+ mins...

7:12 am

carleekat

which is KILLIN Gher

7:12 am

Anniebrook

carlee, is hubby embarrassed?

7:12 am

Jandy

As I never caught my parents, I have been able to maintain my belief that they only did it twice. Or possibly three times since my sisters are fraternal twins..

7:13 am

carleekat

oh..he's going to be traumatizd for a while

7:13 am

LoriP

Well, good luck carlee, just don't indulge it too much. She's old enought o grasp the nuances of parental relationships.

7:13 am

LoriP

Awkward, tee totally, but it can always be worse.

7:13 am

Jandy

I like everyone's suggestions of acknowledging the all-round embarassment and then minimising the rest of it... especially since it sounds like you have an open relationship with her about sex and the facts of life.

7:14 am

herinfernallady

Hey carlee at least after the accident hes getting more um normal

7:14 am

Uniquity

I want presents for every time I have caught any of my parents (of either pair!)... even when i was too young to know it :D

7:15 am

carleekat

he's um...More then normal... I won't elaborate but I feel like they must have transplanted bunny nerves..and that is NOT fun...

7:15 am

Anniebrook

I wouldnt make too much of it...but I would talk about embarrassment and closeness and love between married people

7:15 am

carleekat

but I suppose to a guy..passes time and since was told that was NEVER going to happen again..he has a new toy

7:15 am

LoriP

We don't have THAT kind of cash uni......

7:16 am

herinfernallady

lol Lori

7:16 am

lilliann

lol lori!!

7:16 am

herinfernallady

Wow Carlee i guess that puts it all into a different light

7:17 am

Uniquity

Time to adapt...Adaptation is the key to life. Darwinism and all that...

7:18 am

Jandy

Not entirely sure if Darwin could forsee modern technology... and all the complexities that come with it...

7:19 am

carleekat

anyway..thanks all...

7:20 am

herinfernallady

Thats ok Carlee

7:21 am

Uniquity

Good luck Carlee...just try to bring the situation back down to normal proportions.

7:21 am

LoriP

Save feeling guilty for the good stuff carlee, IMO, this isn't one of them. You're grown ups, with all the stuff that comes with it. Once the initial awkwardness is over, it'll be fine.

7:23 am

bfsog

weekend soon, yay

7:23 am

herinfernallady

oh dear lord bats are having fun in our fig tree

EvaNadine

everyone buried in the grid?
or are people actually *shudders* working??

9:18 am

Judi

I'm doing both!

9:19 am

EvaNadine

im doing one in an attempt to avoid doing the other. ;)

9:20 am

featherbee

no work here. ice-day

9:20 am

ItalianGreyhound

Getting paid to Babble - I feel so guilty!

9:20 am

featherbee

i'm putting laundry away. see me folding? lol

9:20 am

KatieMcG

Hi feather, haven't been on at the same time as you for ages, you ok?

9:21 am

featherbee

yep, school started up so i've been teaching. we don't have school today, ice storm

9:21 am

EvaNadine

i was SOOOO tempted to work form home today, but since my bday is next saturday, i plan on "working from home" next friday...
so i didnt wanna push my luck this week!

9:21 am

featherbee

well, actually i should say my maternity leave ended, so i've been teaching!

9:22 am

KatieMcG

I took today off with the wild hopes for a lie in but had to go to the bank early as we were expecting snow.

9:23 am

KatieMcG

should point out it's a lovely sunny day no snow! we were only expecting a couple of inches but I do hate driving in it

9:23 am

featherbee

both boys slept in this morning, so i didn't get out of bed till 8...luxury!

9:24 am

EvaNadine

no snow here, at least yet -- was raining profusely when i came into work, though!

9:24 am

KatieMcG

we don't get much snow but the whole country grinds to a halt when we do because we aren't use to it

9:25 am

EvaNadine

DC is the same way...weather here is so fickle, and there are so many people here originally from places that dont get snow, so its pretty dangerous here when we do get it

9:25 am

featherbee

hmm, we have a travel advisory out. reading the local news station's website.

9:26 am

arwennn

does anyone have the ac7?

9:26 am

arwennn

(I'm probably just blind and not seeing it)

Jacula

Yes, FM, and it sounds like you're at the cocaine already!

12:01 pm

As I was busy in the kitchen, I turned the History Channel on... and it is broadcasting a retrospective of the wild 1960s... especially 1968, through Tom Brokow, (ref. his newest book) and to revisit the turmoil, the civil revolution and the horror of the seemingly endless assassinations... it is as real to me now as it was 40 years ago...
