I have a question...Did you ever watch cartoons where a big, dumb character says "Which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?"

12:13 am

meliae

yep I remember that cartoon

12:14 am

VolleymomDee

I do too... something leghorn...???

12:14 am

meliae

it was a dog

12:14 am

Douglas

The reason I ask is that I think they got that from the character Lennie in John Steinbeck's "Of Mi4 and Men"

12:14 am

VolleymomDee

aww I think it was a dog...

12:14 am

joey

i don't remember the george part, I do believe that it was farm animals.

12:14 am

meliae

foghorn leghorn was the big chicken

12:14 am

justafreep

hey muse... there are no 8s!

12:14 am

jillibus

The Black Umfolosi, from Zimbabwe, doing wonderful a capella singing and dancing and getting the audience to join in the clapping and singing Wimoweh

12:30 am

flosey

ah yes, I remember reading about them

12:30 am

Douglas

If I were from Zimbabwe, I would want to be somewhere else too...inflation just crossed 100,000%

finishing up with a genuine Gumboot Dance -- such fun!

12:31 am

flosey

that is where the Gumboot Dance started isn't it?

12:31 am

jillibus

yes, Douglas, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near there just now, but they did sing a sad homesick song too.

12:34 am

jillibus

the original Gumboot Dance came from the gold mines in Southern Africa

12:34 am

jillibus

did everyone just experience a hiccup or was it just e?

12:35 am

jillibus

just me?

12:35 am

flosey

12:35 am

Douglas

I've been reading a South African blog lately...they seem to be having some problems with electricity generation

12:36 am

jillibus

well, it's ok now, so nm

12:36 am

Douglas

The mines can't operate without stable electricity...if I had some money, and I wanted even more, I might invest in platinum futures...

12:36 am

jillibus

Hello goils. How are we all today?

2:16 am

redturtlehead

2:16 am

herinfernallady

I have tossed out so far 7 or 8 massive garbage bags

2:16 am

herinfernallady

HI Jandy and Red

2:16 am

sprite

poor red. Hi Jandy.

2:16 am

Jandy

And I'm with sprite... better to ask for forgiveness than permission, as they say

2:17 am

Jandy

Me too red...

2:17 am

MVA

hi jandy and red

2:17 am

herinfernallady

Well i have tossed 3 bags worth of clothes for him to sort out but im sick of looking at it

2:17 am

Jandy

Sounds like you're making good progress with getting ready for the move, herin

2:17 am

sprite

and shortness of spaces as well, red. It is one of those days ;)

2:17 am

redturtlehead

blech, space bar seems to be not working.

2:18 am

Jandy

I got no excuses but a great need for neatness and marriage to a hoarder....

2:18 am

herinfernallady

Yes indeed. SO far upstairs has yielded 4 or 5 bags of crap

2:18 am

sprite

wtg lady!

2:19 am

Jandy

My other half used to be in the RAAF so we moved all the time, which forced decisions about what to keep every eighteen months or so. Then he got out...

2:19 am

sprite

oh dear... and he tries to make up for before, Jandy?

2:20 am

herinfernallady

Has anyone seen Asgreen lately?

2:20 am

sprite

not me, lady

2:20 am

Jandy

You never know when that washing machine motor/piece of wood/eighth of a tin of paint will come in handy.....

2:21 am

MVA

i tried to throw out some of my daughters t shirts as they were too small and she said thet were part of her history!!

2:21 am

herinfernallady

Well I was watching Oprah today and her brother in law Peter Walsh was on. The guy rocks and has been an inspiration to getting everything gone

2:21 am

sprite

oh dear oh dear... I have a neighbour like that. His wife is very clear about it. There is one portion of the house he can stock up. The rest has to go, lol.

2:21 am

Jandy

Unfortunately for me, they often do! LOL! Then he's vinicated.

2:21 am

herinfernallady

MVA are they concert shirts?

2:21 am

sprite

lol MVA!

2:21 am

MVA

no, ordinary t shirts!

2:22 am

sprite

that is even worse, Jandy, grin

2:22 am

Jandy

Hmm... maybe she needs a history box that can be filled up... when full she'll need to prioritise!

2:22 am

herinfernallady

OH,

2:22 am

redturtlehead

MVA, tell her she canmake the T shirts into a quilt,otherwise they have togo,....

2:22 am

COngratssprite...

2:23 am

MVA

good id4/5 red!

2:23 am

sprite

thanks to dart. He named the ugly words and made it much easier for me to find them.

2:23 am

Jandy

I like that idea red... a personal history quilt...mind you, I'm getting to the age where mine would be more like a carpet...

2:23 am

herinfernallady

I threw out my high school shirt but cut just the names to keep. I had it all signed but it meant nothing to me

2:23 am

herinfernallady

YAH Sprite

2:23 am

redturtlehead

MVA, thanks I did not have that word! Just started...

2:24 am

Jandy

Not finding this one easy... 123 to go...

2:24 am

redturtlehead

Eventually I am going to make one forJ because he gets a ton of t shirts forraces, but rarely wears them...

2:24 am

Jandy

I see your favourite pe5 is a phantom, sprite!

2:24 am

sprite

awwww I like the vid. Nice, cybernan! Funny and it makes me smile and upbeat.

2:25 am

herinfernallady

I have also come to terms that i can't keep holding onto my past. All the bedding i had when i was with the arsehole ex is gone.

2:25 am

sprite

yeah, isn't it traumatic, Jandy!

2:25 am

Jandy

Go herin. I'm a big believer in a clean start...

2:25 am

Jandy

Typed it in sixteen times, sprite, but still not there!

2:25 am

2:37 am

herinfernallady

Heya Gary.

2:37 am

herinfernallady

BFsog Telstra own most of the lines

2:37 am

herinfernallady

We are with IINEt

2:38 am

herinfernallady

We pay about $150 for the net and phone a month

2:38 am

herinfernallady

But we have a grand father account

2:39 am

herinfernallady

brb dinner

2:39 am

bfsog

not bad i spose, depends if you use the phone a lot

2:40 am

bfsog

doesthat bill stay the same regardless of phone and net usage

2:44 am

Frances

Morning all.

Infernal that seems awfully expensive. My total for telephone and broadband is less than AUS60 (£28) per month.

2:45 am

Atalante

morning! mine's £19.99 a month

2:45 am

bfsog

hi frances

2:47 am

Frances

Hi Ata. That is good. All with one company? Mine is with two - BT and Tiscali.

2:47 am

Atalante

one company, yup. Orange. they are brilliant

2:47 am

Frances

Orange are not so good in this area.

2:48 am

bfsog

ata is that unlimited and upcapped?

2:48 am

Atalante

thats a shame, frances

2:48 am

Atalante

yes, bfsog

2:48 am

Atalante

calls - local, national and international. and broadband

2:50 am

Frances

Tiscali just upgraded my broadband for free.

2:50 am

Atalante

ooo nice them!

2:51 am

Frances

Well I thought so. Not often you get something for nothing.

2:51 am

Atalante

no!

2:51 am

mari

I've got everything with Tiscali and it's great local national and international calls free - last months bill £22 (9 calls to Canada!!)

2:52 am

mari

That includes broadband

2:52 am

Atalante

thats great mari!

2:54 am

Frances

Our rates do seem to make those infernal is paying very expensive.

2:55 am

redturtlehead

Ok Back from Job seraching. really no point as my license is not even in the works yet.

2:59 am

Jandy

And back from eating and onto the grid....

3:00 am

redturtlehead

I am stuck in the grid at 99...

3:00 am

Jandy

99 done or to go, red?

3:01 am

redturtlehead

well, now100 done, only, Jandy...notdoing well thisweek.

3:02 am

Jandy

Nah, me neither. 108 done for me. But I just found out I actually haven't been well, so I'm blaming that for my inability to think straight! LOL!

3:06 am

redturtlehead

LOL Jandy!!! I'm blaming it on Job stress!!!

3:06 am

Jandy

I accept that as a perfectly valid distraction! What are you doing, red, and what kind of license are you waiting for? If you don't mind sharing..

3:07 am

Frances

I have 93 left to find and must go an pick up a parcel. Back later.

3:07 am

Jandy

Bye Frances

3:07 am

redturtlehead

Just waiting for Florida Reciprocity, so I can take an assignment in Florida. I am a nurse.

3:07 am

redturtlehead

Go Frances go, I hopethere is something nice in the parcel!!

3:08 am

redturtlehead

I am very cold here...Photo inicon is of the dogtoday. I want Florida.

3:08 am

Jandy

Ah, any particular specialty? I work in the surgical area, but in sales, rather than clinical. And an assignment in Florida sounds nice this time of year!

3:09 am

redturtlehead

I do Emergency Nursing. LOL, I wanted to be a Surgical Nurse, until I realized how cold they keep the OR, ortheatre as you call it...

3:09 am

redturtlehead

I so want to typein Loom and gloom, but no luck.

3:10 am

Jandy

Yep. Freeze your bits off! Spent all day yesterday in the ER as a patient... interesting change of perspective.

3:10 am

redturtlehead

Uh Oh, I hope all is well now. Very hard tobe a patient.

3:10 am

Jandy

LOL tried both of those already!

3:11 am

Jandy

Yep. Just very low haemoglobin.. no wonder I felt a bit uninspired...

3:11 am

redturtlehead

Oh, I "Had that once" after I unwisely ate choco cake and chips all summer. You probably had a more valid reason....

3:11 am

redturtlehead

Did they give you blood?

3:12 am

Jandy

Grin. Yep. Gyn reasons. How glamorous! Two units and the possibility of some more..

3:12 am

redturtlehead

Oh Jandy I am sorry. I hope you aren't in pain.

3:12 am

redturtlehead

Mine was less low...these days I eat actual food!

3:13 am

Jandy

Not at all. Allthough the whole thing has become a major pain in the posterior!

3:13 am

redturtlehead

I assume then Jandy that you got the me 5 right off today!!

3:13 am

Jandy

And I knew my iron was low so I've been eating steak and pate and taking iron ad nauseum...

3:13 am

Jandy

Strangely, I did!

3:14 am

redturtlehead

they told you not to eat milk products with the iron right, and todrink a glass of OJ with the tablet? Its absorbed betterwith vitaminC.

3:15 am

Jandy

They did... but I think it's going to take more than an iron tablet to sort this out! My haem was 78.... up to 91 after 2 units so still not overly exciting..

3:15 am

redturtlehead

I think also that it is not the food in your case.

3:16 am

Jandy

Now the hard part is a proper rest.. not my thing usually, but think it will be relatively easy this time!

3:16 am

redturtlehead

Hang out, babble...eat steak! Find a person to fan you!!!

3:17 am

Jandy

Thanks red... sounds like excellent clinical advice!

3:17 am

redturtlehead

LOL....

3:17 am

redturtlehead

You could evenhave some chocolate cake!!!

3:17 am

BabbleRabble

sed rate

3:18 am

Jandy

Indeed.... might be a secret source of iron...

3:18 am

redturtlehead

Oh No, Jandy, its really not. unless its specially made I suppose!!! Perhaps there is some in PB.

3:18 am

redturtlehead

Hello Babble Rabble.

3:19 am

herinfernallady

Hello back from tea

3:19 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, redT and peoples

3:19 am

Jandy

Hello again herin and hi Babble Rabble

3:19 am

redturtlehead

hi herin...

3:19 am

herinfernallady

Had burgers for tea

3:20 am

herinfernallady

Hello all.

3:20 am

redturtlehead

herin...being from the US, thatburgers fortea phrase sounds so funny, but I know its not in Aus...

3:20 am

herinfernallady

Red we are weird

3:21 am

Jandy

True... red.... burgers as a form of cold drink with way too much sugar in it...

3:21 am

redturtlehead

nah, we are all just different. I wanta burger right now, and its 2:30 am.

3:21 am

redturtlehead

BabRab, how isyour hammock?

3:22 am

BabbleRabble

we are having a heatwave here ... and no snow ... will be ensconcing in the hammock shortly

3:22 am

Jandy

An urge to eat burgers at 2.30am would mean I had been imbibing in alcoholic beverages, red!

3:22 am

herinfernallady

Jandy i now have instead of 3 jammed drawers full of linen i now have 2. I have 4 under sheets 4 dooner covers and pillow cases. I am happy. Waiting for my fake fur giraffe print cover

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Jandy that is a giro

3:23 am

redturtlehead

No alcohol here Jandy,just Up and worrying...but no reason to do so.

3:23 am

Jandy

Woo hoo!!! Excellent work!

3:23 am

redturtlehead

goodjob herin.

3:23 am

Jandy

I've reached the stage of life herin where I would rather have fewer things and have exactly what I want.

3:23 am

redturtlehead

Babrab, wegot your snow, and are due more tomorro, I will attempttoredirect it allto yoru hammock, if you dont mind.

3:24 am

herinfernallady

Thats what i thought.

3:24 am

BabbleRabble

snow is a source of moisture

3:25 am

Jandy

Shame it doesn't snow more in Australia, in that case!

3:25 am

redturtlehead

You are welcome to it BR.

3:25 am

BabbleRabble

I would expect anemia is not on your list

3:25 am

herinfernallady

I had to toss out two of my 'good' shirts today. I had marks on them that couldn't be bleached not impressed

3:26 am

Jandy

Indeed, BR!

3:26 am

BabbleRabble

don't toss; donate

3:26 am

Jandy

At least you chucked them out, herin and didn't save them in case they got better....

3:26 am

herinfernallady

Babble they wouldn't take them

3:27 am

redturtlehead

Well,I have 118 words, so I am off for Lickety.

3:27 am

herinfernallady

They were stained and not resellable.

3:27 am

Jandy

LOL, I have 114 and just opened the link, red!

3:27 am

BabbleRabble

not donate for resale ... donate to indigents

3:27 am

herinfernallady

Also a majority of my clothes are seconds. I have had a lot of clothes since i was 20 I am now 30

3:28 am

redturtlehead

Jandy we are sloving together I think...

3:28 am

Jandy

It's amazing how much stuff you can recycle, trying really hard at the moment to do the reduce, reuse, recycle thing and it's making a huge difference to our waste...

3:28 am

BabbleRabble

all of which would mean nothing to someone in need

3:28 am

herinfernallady

Babble they are very strict on what can and can't be donated

3:29 am

Jandy

Very picky here, BR, I think it's been part of our culture for a long time to donate, so they can afford to give people reasonable quality items and sell the excess.

3:29 am

herinfernallady

I do try to recycle as much as possible but this time we can't alot of our (b.f and I

3:29 am

herinfernallady

clothes are held together with tape and a pray

3:30 am

Jandy

Just do what you can, kid.

3:32 am

herinfernallady

I do have this old white wedding dress (that has gotten stained) from my dress up days (when i was 20) and the cat loves it. I was about to put it out and it was so cute. The kitty looked at me and placed her paw on it, like 'mum thats my blankie'. so i am going to keep it and make it into a bed for her

3:33 am

redturtlehead

Well. I have completed the A's/

3:34 am

Jandy

Well, that's recycling in its truest form. If it saves you going out to buy a bed for the cat, it saves you money and saves the material for the manufactured bed.

3:34 am

Jandy

It's the oldfashioned way.

3:34 am

herinfernallady

Kitty claimed it

3:34 am

Jandy

Red, no-one loves a showoff! LOL!!!! I finished the ac to ag words....

3:35 am

Jandy

Right.... focussing... going to catch red.... puff, pant, puff...

3:35 am

redturtlehead

:)

3:35 am

redturtlehead

it'sOk, I have tons and tons of C words and they are not appearing.

3:36 am

Jandy

I hates them C words to pieces...

3:37 am

redturtlehead

Ch's nottoo bad, but the rest...

3:38 am

herinfernallady

OH the dress was in a plastic bag. She pulled it out of the bag and slept on it. then I put it on the high self as i didn't know what else to do. And she climbed up there and slept on it. Then she pawed it today i couldn't say no

3:38 am

Jandy

a words done... and I"m with you. Who would have thought there would be so many!

3:38 am

redturtlehead

Yay Jandy!!!

3:38 am

Jandy

Well, you're not going to use it for anything else, herin. Why not make her happy? (And I'm a dog's mother!)

3:39 am

redturtlehead

Oh the things I dofor my dog...

3:39 am

Jandy

Grin. Me too... I keep telling my sons I love the dog best...

3:40 am

Jandy

You'll be pleased to know they're not preschoolers who will be scarred for life..

3:40 am

redturtlehead

Good on you Jandy...

3:41 am

redturtlehead

for the not scarring..

3:41 am

redturtlehead

I suppose.

3:41 am

Jandy

Grin. I found other ways to do that. The day the second one left home we got cable and a cappucino maker. It was a sweet moment...

3:42 am

redturtlehead

LOL Jandy!!!

3:42 am

Jandy

Struggling mightily with the ce words...

3:43 am

Jandy

Maybe it's God telling me I am a bad, bad mother..

3:43 am

redturtlehead

No the cs are just hard, I am not skipping around avoiding them

3:44 am

Jandy

got the last ce if that would help.

3:45 am

redturtlehead

? what is it?

3:45 am

redturtlehead

a clue please,I mean, not the actual word.

3:45 am

Jandy

A type of mushroom.. plural. that help?

3:45 am

herinfernallady

JAndy was that your reward for the kids leaving?

3:46 am

Jandy

And just accidently, do you have the ch5/6 with medical connotations?

3:46 am

redturtlehead

No I dont!

3:46 am

Jandy

No herin, my reward was a lot more disposable income and the opportunity to be, erm, intimate whenever and wherever we felt like.

3:47 am

redturtlehead

i have all the G's however...

3:47 am

herinfernallady

I just have to reclarify that i am unemployed and nearly everything i own clothes wise was second hand or really cheap

3:47 am

Jandy

In addition to being able to sprint to the laundry for clean undies!

3:47 am

Jandy

Cancer treatment, red.

3:47 am

redturtlehead

TY Jandy, that helps my Ch area. out.

3:48 am

Jandy

YW... I just looked and there's a billion of them!

3:48 am

redturtlehead

now the laundry sprinting would have scarred them for life...

3:48 am

redturtlehead

they are mostly regular words.

3:49 am

redturtlehead

I have to work at 11 am today with the wierd day shift, I hope it goes alright.

3:49 am

Jandy

yeah, but it wasn't as bad as me getting up looking like the Wreck of the Hespress with a hangover on a Saturday morning, and some nubile young thing in a g-string and son's tshirt greeting my chirpily in the kitchen.

3:49 am

Jandy

THAT'S scarring...

3:49 am

Jandy

What time do you finish, red?

3:49 am

redturtlehead

Nice, and scary and scaring!!!

3:50 am

Jandy

Yes... there were a few new house rules laid down after that.

3:50 am

redturtlehead

well, I though at 11 pm butwhen I called it seems someone stole part of the shift, so 5 which is better so I can go and run at the gym...

3:50 am

herinfernallady

Jandy at least she is cool with you

3:50 am

Jandy

True, herin. And the older son is married to one of them now! The best one, too.

3:51 am

Jandy

That's not too bad, red.

3:51 am

redturtlehead

I bet she doesnt hang out in a g string any more...

3:51 am

redturtlehead

No, Jandy it is a short shift, trying tomake extra if my Fl license doesn't arrive in time.

3:52 am

Jandy

I bet she does. But now I buy them for in her Christmas stocking! Blessedly, though, they do it in the comfort and safety of their own home!

3:52 am

BabbleRabble

regular words are fastidious about roughage

3:53 am

Jandy

Back to your clothes, herin, life has lots of phases and everything changes. I'm really glad we had a few years where things were really tight. It gave me a whole new skill set!

3:53 am

Jandy

And it pays rich dividends for them, BR!

3:54 am

Jandy

I suppose that's what happens to irregular vowels...

3:54 am

Jandy

Vowels? Verbs!

3:55 am

BabbleRabble

what would roseann roseannadana say?

3:55 am

BabbleRabble

or, for that matter, maude frickert

3:56 am

Jandy

With a name like that, whatever they liked!

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Jandy I live on $500 a fortnight unemployed for years (long story)

3:57 am

Jandy

The trouble is, herin, that the world's gone mad on money and what you can get with it. It's hard to live in a culture which is all about acquisition when you can't acquire everything!

3:57 am

redturtlehead

I actually just went and paid the bills.

3:57 am

Jandy

But it can help you focus on what's important and simplify your life.. which is easy to say and hard to do, I know!

3:58 am

redturtlehead

allexcept the big mortgage which I couldpay but for some reason don't want to.

3:58 am

BabbleRabble

st peter don't you call me cause I can't go I sold my soul to the company store

3:58 am

Jandy

Go red! Make them wait. Make them beg!

3:58 am

redturtlehead

Yes,Jandy, about the G string, I meant, I bet she doesn't do it in your house hen visiting....

3:59 am

Jandy

That'll be it, BR. It's a world where you "need" so much stuff. And it's changed so incredibly quickly, not just since we were kids, but since my kids were kids.

3:59 am

redturtlehead

thats when visiting.

3:59 am

herinfernallady

Its more the rent that is the biatch

3:59 am

redturtlehead

Since I have been traveling, I find each time I dispose of a ton of stuff...I barely have any clothes any more,Isuppose I will need more in Florida as I plan on being more social.

4:00 am

Jandy

No. Thankfully, red, she does not. I love her dearly, but there's only so much of her I want to see. Literally.

4:00 am

redturtlehead

Yes exactly... ;)

4:01 am

redturtlehead

but I still have a lot of sovieneer art stuff...Need to get some here...

4:01 am

Jandy

And that's the killer here in Canberra too, herin. It's virtually impossible for young people to save up a deposit for even a small house because they are paying so much rent. For so very little house.

4:01 am

Jandy

That's what I am still happy to acquire, red. From our travels, to remind me of happy times in other places.

4:02 am

BabbleRabble

last time I traveled the referee called it for a turnover

4:02 am

Jandy

Have you tried the train, BR? Grin.

4:03 am

redturtlehead

or a plane?

4:03 am

Jandy

That would make a slam dunk easy...

4:03 am

redturtlehead

I am notsureI willever call this contract that happy, but...the artout here is unique...

4:03 am

BabbleRabble

last plane ride got me back from the fun spot in SE Asia

4:04 am

Jandy

next plane ride will take me there... seven weeks to go...

4:04 am

redturtlehead

Well, BR, its high time then.

4:04 am

redturtlehead

Where are you going Jandy??

4:04 am

Jandy

Thailand. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Yah Jandy

4:05 am

redturtlehead

I've neverbeen, but I wantto go badly!

4:05 am

Jandy

I'm an addict.

4:05 am

Jandy

A happy addict.

4:05 am

redturtlehead

hopefully in seven weeks I will be headed to Florida.

4:05 am

Jandy

Similar humidity, red, but the food won't be as interesting!

4:06 am

redturtlehead

Probably not...

4:06 am

BabbleRabble

something's happening here ... what it is is not exactly clear ... there's a man with a gun over there ..

4:06 am

redturtlehead

Sing it babble

4:06 am

Jandy

Stop children...

4:06 am

herinfernallady

My cat keeps looking at us and clawing the couch

4:06 am

Jandy

What's that sound?

4:06 am

Jandy

Maybe she's hinting for the wedding dress, herin!

4:07 am

herinfernallady

No thats the blankie

4:07 am

Jandy

Did you consider the possibility that she actually wants to get married?

4:08 am

herinfernallady

who? me?

4:08 am

redturtlehead

Ok I think I amgoing back to napping. I have 78 left, and have that work thing in the morning, I think.

4:08 am

Jandy

You could be bridesmaid...

4:09 am

redturtlehead

good night all.

4:09 am

herinfernallady

Night Red

4:09 am

BabbleRabble

be well, redT

4:09 am

Jandy

Night red. Have a good day at work tomorrow.

4:10 am

Jandy

No, herin, the cat that's obsessed by the wedding dress! You might just THINK she wants it for a bed..

4:10 am

herinfernallady

I think shes hinting at me :)

4:11 am

Jandy

Could be, could be.... If not for her, perhaps she just wants to make an honest woman of you, as we used to say in the Dark Ages.

4:11 am

herinfernallady

not going to happen

4:12 am

herinfernallady

oh come on Chav is so a word

4:12 am

Jandy

What about a cat wedding, then? You could alter the frock. A lot!

4:13 am

Jandy

Right, as nice a way to waste time as this is, I must away! Talk to you soon, troops. Be very, very good.

4:13 am

P.J.

herinfernallady

Angel YAH

4:48 am

Angelsong

my daughter is okay for now. spoke with her last night. she and her husband are trying to work their issues out, and he is clean for now. I'm going to recommend counseling for them.

4:49 am

herinfernallady

THat is good. Angel he needs to want to change

4:51 am

Angelsong

she said she thinks he is beginning to understand what his actions are doing to his family.

4:52 am

herinfernallady

That is good.

4:52 am

herinfernallady

My cat just drooled on me. eww

4:53 am

Angelsong

I told her I have been praying so hard for all of them that my knees and my jaws ache. God is instructing me to "be still and pray." That is hard, given that I want to go shake him until his teeth rattle.

4:53 am

herinfernallady

That is very true. Be still and think

4:54 am

Angelsong

the thing they both have to understand is, addictioin is a battle never completely won.

4:55 am

herinfernallady

Angel that is so true. We all have receptors in our brains that make us addicts of various forms.

5:58 am

herinfernallady

That is true. My b.fs parents used to throw snowballs at the dog for her to catch. Kept her amused for hours

5:58 am

herinfernallady

I heard the most strangest request from the landlord today

6:01 am

redturtlehead

6:01 am

herinfernallady

6:02 am

herinfernallady

We got told today that our property has to be empty when we leave, umm no crap

6:03 am

6:03 am

redturtlehead

I left a coffee pot and a microwave at one rental.

6:03 am

herinfernallady

But hes also gutting the place.

6:04 am

herinfernallady

Did they work? We are getting a skip to dump out our stuff

6:04 am

redturtlehead

So I am sure he wants it empty.

6:04 am

redturtlehead

Yes they worked, I hadnoroom in the car and Microwaves and coffeepots are cheap, so I figured maybe the next tenant could use...The landlord never complained.

6:05 am

herinfernallady

And i think hes seen how much of a mess our rooms are (hey they are our rooms and can be as damn messy as they like) but i am using this time to clean out everying

6:06 am

herinfernallady

I mean everything i have gone from a lot of bags to one small cupboard of clothes

It is a delightful word, feather... meaning a mixture of combination of possibly offbeat ingredients..

8:24 am

dcseain

what's like salmagundi ?

8:24 am

featherbee

ah, ok!

8:24 am

Scarlet

It comes from a name for a certain food from, maybe the late 1600s and evolved into an odd usage... one I incorporated into political writing.

8:25 am

Scarlet

The OL word, seain.

8:25 am

dcseain

ah, okay ,ty

8:25 am

Scarlet

YOu're welcome.

8:27 am

Scarlet

Meaningless protest: mosh is not accepted... there may be a few hundred thousand youngsters who would disagree.

8:27 am

Dorens

8:34 am

bethn

my office doesnt even have a computer-just me and my pencil & 300 + accounts so no babble for me at work either

8:36 am

dcseain

a tad haz, though the ne cough syrup makes me a bit drowsy, which wil make work fun next week.

8:36 am

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet - well, she didn't make any reference to the fact that he was Paul Potts, because he gave such an aura of shyness.

8:37 am

Haz1558

However she found out what sort of scent he liked and sold him some after-shave. She did remark on how much improvement his new teeth have made.

8:37 am

Haz1558

THOUGH NOT TO HIM!

8:38 am

Haz1558

I've just realised how that last sentence would have made her sound AWFUL!

8:38 am

Scarlet

No, Haz, not at all. I understand the context.

8:38 am

Scarlet

Good day, Ata. We cannot get out of the house to pick up the video! :-( Hopefully, we will be able to fetch it this afternoon, after the ice has thawed...

8:50 am

Anniebrook

Yes, Haz, I am and I face Manhattan which is a glorious view, esp. at night....I am very close to the Atlantic Ocean too which makes for a windy area but wonderful in the hot summers we have here

8:51 am

Haz1558

It sounds great, Annie - a very different lifestyle!

8:51 am

Atalante

You mean you don't keep your wedding dress constantly to hand?

8:51 am

arwennn

City life, grew up in Manhattan, when I visit my daughter in Connecticut I think I am in the wilds

8:54 am

Atalante

8:55 am

JBV

I also "grew up" in Manhattan - went to hs on 68th & Lex

8:55 am

Haz1558

So, we eliminate Silverclaw from the enquiries.

8:55 am

janietiptoe

arwenn - do you remember the Deepdale Deli?

8:55 am

Haz1558

Scarlet said a wooooord.

8:56 am

Anniebrook

I "grew up" on the Lower East Side...which is now quite trendy

8:56 am

Scarlet

Oh no... *checking*

8:56 am

Hi all.

Scarlet

Oh, drat! I will suffer grandly for my Mets.

8:56 am

JBV

so true, Annie - sad to think we can no longer afford to live in the neighborhood where our parents attained the American dream - Astoria is now totally gentrified

8:56 am

arwennn

hi capng

8:56 am

Anniebrook

Scarlet loves the PB today --------->>>>>>>

8:57 am

Capng

...I'm terrible today. I have class and I just don't feel like going today. x_x

8:57 am

Scarlet

Yes, apparently I do, Annie! LOL

8:57 am

Haz1558

As long as George isn't the attraction. He was on the news today. I fear I'll not be able to be on the red carpet with him this time.

8:58 am

janietiptoe

I believe so - I heard she was replaced because she and "James" started a real-life romance and left their spouses for one another? Remember the episode with the gypsy girls pony at Christmas? My favorite episode.

8:58 am

Anniebrook

cap, are you snowed in too?

8:58 am

Capng

Uh...I was supposed to be but I'm not.

8:58 am

Haz1558

Yes, they did have a romance but it didn't last forever. They've each moved on to different partners.

8:59 am

Capng

I really don't like the class I have now and my mouth is KILLING me from my root canal and I just don't think I can deal with it today. Lol.

8:59 am

Anniebrook

9:01 am

periwinkle

back and my car is free of snow, it is much easier to get if off when it is soft I just used a dust pan brush.

9:01 am

janietiptoe

Try Advil - anti-inflammatory is better for dental pain.

9:01 am

Scarlet

janietiptoe ( I love that handle)... you cannot imagine the conversations in this house about that phrase: happy as a clam! :-)

9:01 am

mkg

Scarlet

9:03 am

Capng

Even though the dentist numbed me 2 times, I could still feel when he was messing around with the nerve.

9:03 am

janietiptoe

Or happy as a drunk in a liquor store?

9:03 am

janietiptoe

Or happy as a kid in a candy store? Please, make me stop!!!!!!!

9:06 am

JBV

9:07 am

JBV

9:07 am

Capng

I'm already on an anti-inflammatory medicine and tried to all the dentist yesterday. Their office was closed so I went to the local pharmacy and talked to the pharmacist. He suggested the 4 Ibuprofen. I think It's just gonna take time.

9:09 am

Dorens

dond't know what kind of pain you're having capng, but I had a really really bad pain thing going on last year and even codeine didn't help, but believe it or not, oil of clove did

9:09 am

Capng

Hmm...how does the oil of clove work?

10:16 am

Atalante

poo. I didnt want to wake Hobbit by going downstairs. She's finally getting some quality sleep after sneezing all day!

10:16 am

Scarlet

Poor baby... is that cough any better, Ata?

10:17 am

Capng

I'm off for now. I'll be back later. Have a good day everyone :)

10:17 am

Atalante

10:17 am

Scarlet

Later, Cap

10:17 am

Atalante

I keep telling her not too, but she doesn't seem to understand LOL

10:17 am

Scarlet

Awwwww

10:18 am

Atalante

but she's still all droopy :(

10:19 am

Scarlet

I just melt inside when my old girl, Phaedra, taps me on the shoulder to let me know that I've been concentrating on the computer too much, and she needs some loving... smartest cat I've ever known... Poor Hobbit...

10:19 am

Atalante

Hobbit does the exact same thing!

10:19 am

Scarlet

LOL... they love us!

phandmd

nm just figured it out

10:21 am

Atalante

I'm looking for the SH7

10:21 am

Scarlet

Ata, this may seem blown out of proportion, but this is the truth. Three months ago, I taught my 17-year old cat to shake paws for her kittie treats... sit first, then the left paw, ending with the right. She is so smart that when she sees the little bag in my hand, she automatically raises her left paw. I dissolve in laughter, and she goes through her little tricks...

10:21 am

Scarlet

HI, deb... yes, they are and totally own my soul. How are you doing, deb?

10:21 am

Atalante

awwwwwwwwww!

10:22 am

Atalante

I did something similar with Hobbit. I taught her to sit for a treat, then lie down for another. Of course, now she sees the treat bag and lies down immediately!

10:22 am

Scarlet

SH 7 is the plural of the wheat harvest

10:22 am

debjed

i'm doing ok. that is awesome, red!!! what's your kitties name? my cats fetch

10:22 am

Atalante

oh! ty

10:22 am

Scarlet

LOL... I think our animals may be smarter than we are, Ata... LOL

10:23 am

Scarlet

Yes, she used to fetch the little twisty ties from bread wrappers. Her name is Phaedra, deb!

10:23 am

Atalante

Phaedra is a gorgeous name

10:23 am

debjed

yes it is:)

10:24 am

Atalante

where did it come from?

10:24 am

Scarlet

She is a golden-eyed tiger, deb and Ata... huge... about 18 and half pounds...

10:24 am

Atalante

wanna see a pic!

10:24 am

Scarlet

Mythology, Ata... a bad girl in history, but I am so taken by its poetic sound...

10:25 am

Atalante

ahhh wondered if it was that Phaedra :)

Atalante

awwww gorgeous dorens

10:36 am

Scarlet

Pretty animals... You know, Do, when I call our pets animals, it seems as though I am being disrespectful... I NEVER allow anyone to call Phaedra "a cat" or "the cat" ! I get all snooty and say, "She is Phaedra!"

10:36 am

Dorens

Lucy likes going outside, and I let her out yesterday and now we have about eight inches of snow and she is no where to be found, but I do believe she has some safe havens in the neighborhood, just don't know where they are.... but she always does turn up (she hates baby.. she was too old when I got him and even tho it's been over five years, she likes to escape him)

10:36 am

Scarlet

LOL, Do.

10:37 am

Dorens

yes scarlet, cats are most definitely CATS.. but then again we are animals too, no?

10:37 am

Dorens

Did you ever here the -supposedly true- story about the people who had a cat that was getting fatter and fatter in spite of the fact they were being very careful. So they put a note on its collar 'if you are feeding this cat please phone....' and SEVEN people phoned!!

10:39 am

Scarlet

DUH! Thank you flosey!

10:39 am

10:40 am

Atalante

ohhhh yes they can

10:41 am

flosey

10:43 am

Scarlet

10:43 am

flosey

10:43 am

Deeha

Theres many a cat that has moved in completely if it prefers a new house to the old one!

10:44 am

Atalante

10:44 am

Scarlet

Right, Deeha!

10:45 am

Scarlet

Krista

2:43 pm

jillibus

Hi uniq!

2:43 pm

Scrabbler

I just passed halfway---where are the 113 that I need to find?

2:44 pm

Uniquity

I was going listless (under the false belief that if there are no words larger than seven letters it MUST be easy)...but broke around fifty.

2:44 pm

Uniquity

How have you been Jilli? I haven't been chatting much lately so I have lots to catch up on! :)

2:44 pm

FMitch

wow I am glad I haven't started then

2:44 pm

Scrabbler

I went to the list about about 75, I think.

2:44 pm

Atalante

2:44 pm

Uniquity

I could have gone longer, FM...I am just a wuss

2:44 pm

Jacula

Hi all. I'm keeping yesterday's bicycle icon as it clues ko4 & 5 (if you're Slovenian).;-)

Hey Jacs!

Uniquity

**Feels appropriately inadequate compared to such babble goddesses**

2:48 pm

FMitch

I do worry sometimes about all the listless babblers, perhaps I should provide some vitamins and tonics in the PB

2:48 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, my Babble Self-Esteem score is dropping quickly.

2:48 pm

Uniquity

how was tennis and skiing Scrabs?

2:48 pm

Scrabbler

The sp5-6 combo please? I feel like I have monkeyed everything.

2:48 pm

Jacula

Grins at jilli. It's like the ball game that uses the biggest pitch but with a different first letter. (Prince Charles plays the game.)

2:49 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - I've got an sp5 that is like a spot of something. No 6 to go with it, as yet.

2:49 pm

jillibus

I proceed at praw speed, as opposed to warp. (Courtesy of a babbler yesterday -- can't remember who)

2:50 pm

Atalante

ooo found one of my favouroite words

2:50 pm

Atalante

sp + vowel + hello! (+ pl)

2:50 pm

Jacula

Thanks, ATA.

2:51 pm

jillibus

thank you, jac (wish I could say it in Slovenian)

2:51 pm

Scrabbler

Fun, Uni. I love smashing the tennis ball. Then we went skiing at a former private family estate/horse farm--sold to NY state and now a state park. There are trails everywhere through the woods (for horses in non-wintertime) and rolling hills. Just beautiful. But the snow was sticky and slow. (or was it me?)

2:51 pm

FMitch

There is a family of owls about 20 feet away from my window and they obviously have a lot of news to share so much twit twooing going on!

2:51 pm

Uniquity

2:52 pm

praise2him

2:55 pm

FMitch

2:55 pm

Uniquity

Along the Southern shore of NS, it is not much of a trip from here, only an hour or so. then i skip down more south, then back up again :)

2:55 pm

Atalante

Pooh's friend is Wol (according to him)

2:55 pm

praise2him

2:55 pm

praise2him

how old are brothers--younger?

2:55 pm

Uniquity

Well, Fm, if this is too much for you we could always call in another angel, such as Vicuna...

2:55 pm

Jacula

FM - They're almost certainly Tawny Owls.

2:55 pm

FMitch

*GASP*

2:56 pm

Uniquity

Praise - yup! I have 5 younger in total (2 at dads and 3 at moms) as well as a *former* stepbrother that I get confused about including, lol!

2:56 pm

FMitch

Tosses Farrah Fawcet locks and marches of mutter under breath

2:56 pm

Uniquity

the two youngest at dad's are close in age to the youngest and oldest at mums, so there isn't much of a break

2:57 pm

Atalante

why? did you want greater spotted eagle owls of doom?

2:57 pm

Uniquity

I thought that might motivate you to higher reaches, FMitch..if you can't so-operate, then...

2:57 pm

Scrabbler

The blended family thing sounds quite confusing, Uni.

2:57 pm

praise2him

well I hope that you have a good time on your break

2:57 pm

Jacula

Ata - I don't think it was the 'wols' that made FM gasp. LOL

2:57 pm

praise2him

did I tell you that I am having surgery soon uni?

2:58 pm

FMitch

Nevermind the knights that go Ni, it's the owls that go Oooooh

2:58 pm

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, p2h! what is happening to you?

2:58 pm

Uniquity

It's easy when you're in it Scrabbler, but others (especialy the gov't!) don't like it so much. Someday I will get it together easily
Praise - you had said knee replacement in April? (the 23rd i remember :))

2:59 pm

Uniquity

2:59 pm

praise2him

3:00 pm

Jacula

Cap - ag + 2 vowels (which, together, sound a little like the 2 dwarves' marching song).

3:00 pm

Uniquity

Aww, poor girls! I hope they feel better, even thoug it doesn't keep you down as much when you are little. Kids tend to ignore it, i find
