i have learnt their accounting package already and already shown the boss something he didnt know lol
12:50 am
GroovyKiwi
AND what the most shocking thing is from what the other staff tell me is that he is teaching me how to do all the invoicing - he does it all himself - has never shown ANYONE else and the others cant get over that im to do them all now lol
12:50 am
GroovyKiwi
and the best bit (so far) is NO STRESS !! lol
12:51 am
lynxxx
that all sounds great Kiwi ! I'm very happy for you
12:52 am
GroovyKiwi
its so funny- he comes out to tell me to envelope up all the invoices ive done and put them in the out tray = goes to grab them and realises ive already done them all - it was so funny to see his face when he realised
12:53 am
VolleymomDee
kiwi, what a wonderful vote of confidence from a new boss! sounds like you have truly found your niche!
12:54 am
GroovyKiwi
i truly think so ive got so much to offer him but hes very distracted at the moment as his wife is in hospital so the last two days hes only been there half a day each and is worried im not getting enough training
12:54 am
justafreep
fireworks!
12:54 am
GroovyKiwi
so i told him to let me do the stock taking hes worried hasnt been done while i dont have anything else to do while hes away and ive done a 1/4 of that already for him - so hopefully that will help take a load off

Jandy: we went through hell yesterday. They tried to take a sample from the fluid, but couldn't. After that my husband was in so much pain that he couldn't sit still for a second and was cold as ice.
2:13 am
herinfernallady
Poor Hubby Sprite
2:13 am

Morning, pink!
2:14 am

nope, we have to wait for the results of the blood test now, and then they will decide what to do further.
2:14 am
lynxxx
Could they do anything for the pain Sprite?
2:14 am
herinfernallady
Yes but i wanted it but now we know what they want we are photo copying everything and sticking it in a folder and putting it in the car when we house look

hello lynxxx, jandy, sprite, and jilli!!
2:14 am

Oh Sprite, I do hope they come up with an answer soon. Knowing what you're dealing with is half the battle.
2:14 am
pinkhatlil
hey herin!!
2:15 am
sprite
jilli: we thought my husband suffered from gout, but they think it might be something else, so he is seeing a specialist now. We spend half of yesterday in the ER to have them take a sample from the fluid inside his insanely swollen foot, but they couldn't get it.
2:15 am
Jandy
That will save you a lot of time wasting herin... although you ight fall in love with something and forget all the criteria!
2:16 am
jillibus
herin, are those skulls in your necklace?
2:16 am
sprite
lynxxx: I phoned the emergency doctor and refused to take no for an answer. So they finally admitted I could give him a combination of painkillers that took care of both the gouty pain and the pain of poking needles in his joints.
2:16 am
flosey
oh sprite, how painful that must be
2:16 am

The new term here is "sleep hygiene" and they say you should only do two things in bed. Neither of them are Babble!
2:19 am
herinfernallady
pfft. since i rarely do either of those things Jandy Babble is great for bed
2:19 am
Book Doctor Gwen
only two things? apart from sex you mean? LOL
2:20 am
sprite
sex isn't confined to bed of course
2:20 am
Book Doctor Gwen
hmmm, eat crackers and fart? (did i say that? omg)
2:20 am
Jandy
This guy was on the other day and was from another plantet. No eating, no reading, no watching TV, no farting (Gwen is a bad influence!)
2:20 am

2:21 am
Book Doctor Gwen

well, let the man have a nice and hygienic sleep in his pristine bed. Alone. Forever.
2:21 am
herinfernallady
SPRITE :D
2:22 am

Indeed. As they say about the ultra-healthy lifestyle "You may not actually live together, you'll just feel like you did!"
2:22 am
Jandy
Not together, forever!!!!
2:22 am
Book Doctor Gwen
what, you s'posed to get out of bed, fart, then get back in bed, or what? LOL
2:22 am
Jandy
That was a Freudian slip if ever there was one!
2:22 am
herinfernallady
My b.f and i have been together for 4 years and we still sleep under separate blankets sometimes.
2:23 am
sprite
indeed so, Jandy! LOL.
2:23 am
Jandy
We have friends who have been married 23 years and he gets out of bed, goes out into the hall and does it at her insistence. She just doesn't do it at all.
2:23 am
lynxxx
so if we call them dutch ovens, what do the Dutch call them - Sprite?
2:23 am
sprite
lady, my love and I sleep in separate beds. But there is nothing we don't do in those beds... or elsewhere.
2:23 am
herinfernallady
I have my fave blankie and i love sleeping under it. Its mine and no one elses. OH and cute i have to tell you about the very first real date we had
2:23 am
Jandy
And weirdly, I believe her...
2:23 am

2:24 am

lol lynxxx... and what ARE dutch ovens?
2:24 am
Jandy
LOL lynxxx.
2:24 am
Jandy
Go lynxxx, explain that one!
2:24 am
lynxxx
a dutch oven is when you fa** and quickly pull the blanket up over your partners head
2:25 am
herinfernallady
He slept under one blanket and me under another in one bed. He was a great gentleman. No funny business.
2:25 am
sprite
hahahahahahahahaha.... omg lynxxx, we just don't DO that!
2:25 am
Jandy
That was a very promising start, herin
2:25 am
sprite
that is sweet, lady
2:25 am
Jandy
Well, mostly it's people under twenty who think it's funny.
2:26 am
Jandy
Or women under twenty and men under sixty-two...
2:26 am
Book Doctor Gwen
legend has it that the reagans did that a lot. or should i say ronald did the trick on nancy a lot LOL
2:26 am
Jandy
But that could be said for a lot of things, couldn't it..
2:27 am
Jandy
But he had an excuse, Gwen, he was losing his faculties...
2:27 am
Book Doctor Gwen
jandy, you mean since he got married? yup!!
2:27 am
Jandy
I must say I married a man who would never have done that at any age. But our sons....
2:27 am
sprite
they all have an excuse. They are men. (I did NOT say this)
2:28 am
Book Doctor Gwen
we'll never tell, sprite
2:28 am
sprite
*sighs relieved* Thanks Gwen!
2:28 am
Jandy
And we'll never say we agree, either!
2:29 am
sprite
I will claim you never agreed to what I did not say.
2:30 am
Jandy
Our sons used to set fire to them... we never thought of that as teenage girls... or setting fire to anything, actually!
2:30 am

eeeeeks Jandy
2:30 am

Night Jill
2:37 am
Jandy
I was, of course, a child bride. From the early bride detection kindy program. Bit like they do with elite athletes, you know...
2:37 am
sprite
oh, that is wonderful, Jandy. To have had your talent recognised from the very start!
2:38 am
Jandy
I know. Not everyone could make it!
2:38 am
pinkhatlil
night jilli!
2:38 am
sprite
to the wedding you mean?
2:39 am
herinfernallady
I am watching the Biggest Loser Program and they said that they cant live on $10 a day (Breaky, lunch and tea) each. PFFFT wrong. We live on $200 a fortnight for the 3 of us.
2:39 am
sprite
hi hillary, wu to you too
2:39 am
Jandy
No sprite, through the program! It was very gruelling. Cooking 101, fibbing tactfully 101, driving drunk men home 101, making something out of whatever that is in the fridge 101, etc.
2:40 am
herinfernallady
Hi HIllary.
2:40 am
sprite
darling, did you only have to do 101s? I thought the programme entailed much more elevated teachings?
2:40 am
Jandy
And I was only five...
2:40 am
herinfernallady
Jandy can i ask how old you were when you got married?
2:40 am
sprite
well ok, hillary, and a bit of bu too.
2:41 am
Jandy
Just turned 20 herin. I'll be 50 in June, our older son will be 28 a week later and we'll have our 30th anniversary in August.
2:41 am
herinfernallady
Lovely Jandy.
2:41 am
sprite
yayyyy Jandy!
2:41 am
Jandy
Spooky Jandy more like it...
2:42 am
sprite
nope, just wonderful. Must have taken a lot of energy and work to keep your relation strong. I love to hear you did it.
2:43 am
Jandy
We've had our moments, sprite. In fact, we've had our years! But we were both determined to make it work. Sheer bloody-mindedness, sometimes!
2:43 am
sprite
grrrr suburb is a phantom.
2:43 am
Jandy
And now I can't imagine anything else!
2:44 am
Jandy
So is bruiser...
2:44 am
sprite
Jandy, I think that is what it takes. We had our moments too, but we wanted it to work and did everything to make it so. And it is worth it!
2:44 am
herinfernallady
I have found that we make it work
2:45 am
Jandy
It's intellect over emotion but no-one wants to hear that - doesn't make for a flowery card!
2:45 am
sprite
but I want to stipulate that that only works if it comes from both sides. No way you can keep a relation strong by yourself.
2:45 am
Book Doctor Gwen
(glad that the convo has finally turned from farts to romance)
2:46 am
Jandy
Very true. Same effort needed on both sides.
2:46 am
sprite
but it is true, Jandy. But with a healthy respect for the emotions.
2:46 am
sprite
Gwen, I didn't have to turn for that???

Both basic human functions; both out of our control sometimes; both embarassing in public if not managed properly; both essential for a health life;
2:47 am
sprite
Jandy, are they ever separated?
2:48 am
herinfernallady
My b.f acts like an idiot in public
2:48 am
Jandy
Aha, Gwen, I think you've got it!
2:49 am
Jandy
I do love that in a man, herin. My husband is an introvert, but my best friend is an idiot who really couldn't care what other people think about him. It's one of the reasons he amuses me so much.
2:49 am
sprite
off topic but still understandable I think: I love this grid, it is funny!
2:49 am
herinfernallady
But its cute.
2:49 am

3:04 am
sprite
Jandy, do you have something like Roosvicee where you live? Rosebud sirop for kids? They have a special one that is extra high on iron and works very well, because iron is better ingested with vitamin C. And never with milk products.
3:05 am
sprite
crutches! Now where did my mind go... must be the fart discussion earlier... and the recreational zone...
3:05 am
Jandy
Oh, I'm being careful. I had to have a transfusion last week and am trying to avoid another round. Just sneaked up on me over the last couple of months..

I very childishly got upset on Sunday night because I was calling J. and he was not answering...he was apparently stressed about his business trip. I spoke to him on monday but now I just feel annoyed. He can;t see how with his past history of not calling how I might just get a tad bit upset.

Hee hee... now you mention it, it's like one of those pics you can look at two ways...
5:01 am
BabbleRabble

5:02 am
Jandy
Your icon today is truly beautiful, BR

Satī (Devanagari: सती, the feminine of sat "true") (also suttee)[1] was a funeral practice among some Hindu communities in which a recently-widowed woman would immolate herself on her husband’s funeral pyre.

5:09 am
Jandy
Sorry herin. Being home sick for a week (as the ultimate extrovert) has made me like someone on speed. But less interesting....
5:10 am
herinfernallady
I am trying to house hunt and its issing me off
5:10 am
Jandy
Red, I think the hardest part of your job must be dealing with the people who come in instead of going to the chemist or the doctor for a minor complaint.
5:11 am
redturtlehead
Well, worst is Mums who do not give panadol to kids and bring them in for panadol...
5:11 am
Jandy
I know herin. It just takes time, sweetie, especially in the Aussie rental market at the moment. One of my sons is moving to Melbourne at the moment.
5:11 am
redturtlehead
You'll find something suitable herin.
5:12 am
Jandy
Red, I just don't get it. Will sit there for hours just to get the same advice a pharmacist could give them. Don't think they've got anything to do.
5:13 am
herinfernallady
Red can they afford it?
5:13 am
Jandy
There was a girl next to me in the waiting room last week who kept going to be sick. Then was eating FRIES while she was waiting, despite the advice from the triage nurse not to eat or drink anything. FRIES@!$@

redturtlehead
People do not pay for Emergency treatment too much in the US, it's about 75% not reimbursed, they come because they know we have to treat them by law.

8:04 am
periwinkle
or seen one for that matter
8:05 am
Scarlet
Not yet, peri. I used to have really bad ones as a child... and had my nose cauterized more times than I can count..
8:05 am
periwinkle
hmm, wonder what causes that?
8:05 am
Scarlet
Right now, we think it's because of the dry heat in the house and the miserable weather... the capillaries just blew up.
8:05 am

8:05 am
periwinkle
do you have a humidifier
8:06 am
Scarlet
The thing that is most difficult to deal with is the metallic taste in my throat. Yes, to the humidifier, and breathing in Vicks' fumes for it.
8:07 am
periwinkle
I agree about the taste
8:07 am
Scarlet
I get annoyed when I have anything wrong with me... I can't say I take good health for granted, but beloved needs me to be in tip-top shape.

Hello everyone!!
8:16 am
periwinkle
hi there pink
8:16 am
Scarlet
Aloy, you had a fuss and a flurry last year before you left for Thanksgiving in OH. Did your neighborhood and the activism have any impact on the decision, or is it swinging in the wind? Hi, pinkie! :-)
8:17 am
AsGreen
morning all - how's the grid? ooh, and thanks peri!
8:17 am

No PB for peri... she just got up, and her fingers are still asleep! LOL
8:17 am

Hi, asgreen!
8:17 am
periwinkle
thanks Scarlet
8:18 am
Aloyisius
just read about the conflict in Cape May, NJ... lots of beloved feral kitties there that are taken care of by the townspeople... problem... the World Birding competition also occurs there... some want to relocate the kitties to protect the endangered piping plover, a bird that nests on the beach... but the people rebelled against that option.. a quandry
8:18 am
Scarlet
The grid, oddly enough for all the vowels, asgreen, is fairly simple.
8:18 am
pinkhatlil
hiya peri!!
8:18 am
periwinkle
didn't know about that Aloy
8:18 am
periwinkle
Aloy are you near Cape May
8:18 am
Scarlet
Oh, what a poser, Aloy!
8:19 am
Aloyisius
ooh, the neighborhood has won a temporary reprieve! The mining permit was denied. Alas, the denial is being appealed... over 16 million dollars involved to date..
8:20 am
Scarlet
Drat! Aloy, the mining permit ultimately won out in our old address in Pennsylvania... and they used dynamite... ruined some businesses.
8:20 am
AsGreen
good to see Scar - unfortunately my doorbell rang right when I said hi, so now I need to refocus!
8:21 am
Scarlet
LOl, asgreen... dive in, the water's fine~!
8:23 am
Aloyisius
well, Scarlet... the association keeps on working.. lots happening "behind the scenes"... fortunately, we have the support of some very esteemed experts and some environmental groups. I don't have any illusions that David can slay Goliath in this case, but I do hope we will continue to have some positive results in the development of better permitting parameters.
8:23 am
periwinkle

LadyNatts

8:39 am
Scarlet
RAther, you and me. I am so messed up today! HI, LadyNatts!!
8:40 am
Aloyisius
oh, Scarlet... I do. Think I will post them later on "flicker".. which leads me to ask, is there a way you can save your icon to retrieve it quickly if you change it? I had a devil of a time finding my sunshine after I switched it to a Mia photo...
8:41 am
LadyNatts
nm.. got it
8:41 am
Scarlet
When I find something I really like, Aloy, I bookmark the page and transfer the address to my notebook, and can access it easily enough.

Scarlet
Hi, shool... it is very challenging and helpful, if you like trying to find words that you will NEVER use in civilian life... LOL
8:44 am
Aloyisius
lol, shool... you will learn some very unique words.. but for your vocabulary? h'mm, dunno about a working vocabulary..
8:44 am
Scarlet
Shool, it will become more friendly as you learn the off-beat and odd turns to the grid on a daily basis.
8:45 am
Aloyisius
Babble has helped me in competitive Scrabble, tho..

8:55 am
LoriP
Grid? What is this grid Aloy speaks of? G'd morning monty
8:55 am
Uniquity
What's an Oscar? Can we melt it? :)
8:55 am
Haz1558
They're saying the Oscars were dull. Next year, Babble will be televised.
8:55 am
FMitch
I had hear rumours of people being grid engrossed but have never met onw...
8:56 am
Scarlet
Oscars are history, Luc... no more Bette Davis, no more Joan Crawford... nor John Wayne...
8:56 am
montreal13
bonjour FM, ça va bien merci - hi hazel, Lori, Uni, Aloy et al
8:56 am
FMitch
well that puts nude babbling out the window, and do we really have to prettyfy up to babble for the cameras, sigh
8:56 am
Haz1558
Bonjour montreal. (If le francais is good enough for FM, it's good enough for me)
8:57 am
montreal13
prettyfy... nice ring to that FM
8:57 am
Haz1558
You've got a head start, FMitch - that red dress!
8:57 am
Aloyisius
egads, I may have to get a new pair of PJ's if Babble is televised!
8:57 am
AsGreen
****starts doing situps****
8:57 am
montreal13
lol hazel
8:57 am
FMitch
I will make a cardboard cutout and hide behind it then
8:57 am
Aloyisius
gold lame' pjs
8:58 am
Scarlet
It was a slog, Haz... the Oscars... although I thought you looked smashing on George's arm... Your dress was the smash of the evening... unlike Ms. Swinton's... which looked like a Hefty bag with one arm missing...
8:58 am
Uniquity
If we're gonna have to televise babble, I think there might be a lot of blurred out sections!
8:58 am
LoriP
Esprit would be nekkid, so that'd can the family rating right there. I'll put a bag over my head, and wear my best sweatpants.
8:58 am
AsGreen
omg that dress - was it finished?
8:58 am
Haz1558
Tilda Swinton is eccentric - that dress was unspeakable in its awfulness.
8:58 am
Aloyisius
LOL, Scarlet...
8:59 am
Uniquity
Did you people actually watch the Oscars? I watched Firty Jobs and Jon and Kate +8! :)
8:59 am
Haz1558
At least we'd know montreal by the fedora. It will set a new trend for red carpet fashion.
8:59 am
AsGreen
phone again...and potty...gtg bbs
8:59 am
Aloyisius
so much material... wasted
8:59 am
movieman
If Babble is televised, at least everyone will know what the average 30 year old speccy Chelsea supporter looks like.......
8:59 am
montreal13
about Ms Swinton, i thought that, what with her orange hair and black dress, give her a broom and it's Halloween all over again !
8:59 am
Uniquity
**Dirty Jobs, not firty :)
8:59 am
Haz1558
I watched the news report on the Oscars. I wouldn't be able to sit through the whole thing.
9:00 am
EvaNadine
mornin babblers!
9:00 am
Haz1558
MM - would you wear your Chelsea shirt to a black tie event?
9:00 am
Scarlet
The possiblities are endless for televising Babble... LOL, Luc... it was a terrible moment in a program which is supposed to focus on glamour and beauty...
9:00 am
Haz1558
Good morning EvaNadine - we're discussing Babble being televised in place of the Oscars.
9:00 am
Aloyisius
hi Eva!
9:00 am
FMitch
I see the build up to The Eurovision song contest is starting. *Passes mic to Haz* any comments regarding ireland entry ... a singing duck or turkey?
9:00 am
movieman
Almost certainly, Haz, and my Chelsea cap, and I'd be waving my Chelsea flag
9:01 am
EvaNadine
kinda like how the oscars televised Wii Tennis?
heh
9:01 am
montreal13
i only watched about 15 minutes of Oscar night... that was my limit...
9:01 am
LoriP
G'd morning Eva
9:01 am
Uniquity
Or being televised in place of all the bad shows out there...
9:01 am
montreal13
good morning Eva !
9:01 am
FMitch
EvaN!! you finally woke up!
9:01 am
Haz1558
Then we'd be fools not to know who you were, MM.
9:02 am
Scarlet
We watched for a bit... but had to switch to Dexter at 10... televsion is really crummy lately... (for, oh, about 25 years)
9:02 am
EvaNadine
FM -- i slept for 12 hours again last night -- too much sleep, and i dont feel the slightest bit rested!
9:02 am
Scarlet
Hi, Eva!!
9:02 am
FMitch
and Ishult would be waving his West Ham flag
9:02 am
Haz1558
Scarlet, do you have a DVD player?
9:02 am
Uniquity
Hey there Scarlet, there are some shows in the 90s that are good! X-Files, Fresh Prince, The Nanny! :)
9:02 am
FMitch
EvaN thats 'cos you snoozed for so long in the log!
9:03 am
movieman
Along with Friends and Buffy, Une
9:03 am
EvaNadine
i WAS rather snoozy yesterday!
9:03 am
montreal13
i'll go along with you there Uni but only as far as the X-Files...
9:03 am
Scarlet
X-Files remains one of my all-time favorites, Uni... the writing was brilliant.
9:03 am
Haz1558
I don't like to ask, but did she drool, FMitch?
9:04 am
Scarlet
Yes, Haz...w e joined the 21st century last year.
9:04 am
FMitch
ALL over the place and just would not wake up
9:04 am
Haz1558
That's good, Scarlet. I want to e-mail you about something I think you'd enjoy.
9:04 am
EvaNadine
i couldnt help it! work was so booooooooooooooooring!!
9:04 am
LoriP
**sits quietly in back of room, behaving properly***
9:05 am
Haz1558
Did Sleeping Beauty drool, do you suppose?
9:05 am
montreal13
that's unusual for Lori...
9:05 am
Scarlet
Thank you, Haz. Sounds intriguing. Is that OUR Lori, BEHAVING herself? The end is nigh.
9:05 am
Aloyisius
done, done... and I must run. Ciao for now, dear Babblers... see you next grid. (-:
9:05 am
Haz1558
(If Annie is here, she needs to watch Lori. Acting out of character)
9:05 am
movieman
Congrats, Aloy, and seeya!!!!!
9:05 am
montreal13
bye Aloy see you tomorrow !
9:05 am
FMitch
Congrats and Bye Aloy
9:06 am
Scarlet
Yahoo for Aloy! Be well, smile often and do a kindness for a stranger!
9:06 am
Haz1558
Bye Aloy!
9:06 am
LoriP
Congrats Aloy. have a good one!
9:06 am
Aloyisius
PS: Scarlet, I'll try to post some pics later on my profile page.. thanks for the idea.. (-:
9:06 am
FMitch
Lori are you plotting something?
9:06 am
Scarlet
You're welcome, Aloy... see you soon!
9:07 am
Scarlet
FMitch... I think you're on to something here...
9:07 am
Uniquity
MM, just noticed the Friends and Buffy. I have rewatched every season of each. i might have bad tv tasyte, but I <3 them!!
9:07 am
LoriP
***Lori was not the second gunman on the grassy knoll***
9:07 am
Scarlet
I think that the Nova Scotia Gang is going to pull something tonight during the great debate....
9:07 am
Haz1558
But where were you on the night of August 31 1997?
9:07 am
FMitch
Was that a Tuesday Haz?
9:08 am
movieman
I have every season of Buffy, Friends, X-Files, Angel on DVD
9:08 am
Haz1558
No, it was a Sunday.
9:08 am
LoriP
I washome, watching TV. Alone.
9:08 am
Scarlet
With your bottle of rum, no doubt... Hi, Ata!
9:08 am
LoriP
G'd morning floppy Ata!
9:08 am
montreal13
hi there Ata
9:08 am
movieman
Along with every episode of Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers etc
9:08 am
Haz1558
Anybody to verify that? It's just that Mr Al Fayed would like to know.
9:09 am
Atalante
are we back to whether FM killed Princess Di?
9:09 am
Uniquity
I am two seasons short on xfiles (the doggett years, getting them soon), friend of mine has all the friends (i've been watching for the last few weeks). Buffy...I have a couple, but borrowed a lot. I LOVE rewatching 90s shows!
9:09 am
montreal13
will check the week-day for that date bbs
9:09 am
Haz1558
Hello Atalante. I suppose you realise how restrained I've been on not mentioning an orange person especialy when bu4/7 is in the grid.
9:09 am
LoriP
Well, the men in black were in their usual spot, at the end of the driveway. they can vouch for me.....
9:09 am
FMitch
I hope Not, it wasn't that interesting the first time!
9:09 am
Scarlet
Speaking of which, Lucien... where were YOU?
9:09 am
EvaNadine
hints for the lower, solo R?
9:10 am
Atalante
was that the day Di died?
9:10 am
Atalante
I know where I was!
9:10 am
Haz1558
Yes - at least if my memory serves me correctly.
9:10 am
movieman
More like a flower, Eva
9:10 am
montreal13
it was a sunday
9:10 am
EvaNadine
thanks MM. :)
9:10 am
Haz1558
ro6 - being of pinker hue
9:10 am
Haz1558
Was I right, or was I right?
9:11 am
montreal13
was in Paris scarlet, driving a motorcycle...
9:11 am
Uniquity
I was probably in my room reading a book...i'm clear :) hehe
9:11 am
LoriP
ro 6 is what my cheeks are, after a nice nip of rum. er, coffee
9:11 am
Atalante
I was working at the University of Milan. and staying up at Lake Como in the house of the palaeo prof's mother. and I didn't hear about Di until about 2 days after it happened when I randomly phoned my mother up and she just started crying down the phone at me. I thought something important had happened. But only Di
9:11 am
FMitch
Talking words inthe grid, I see that ar4 is in the grid.
I know a certain player who must be lost today not being able to use that in the log as she does usually with such gay abandon.
9:12 am
Scarlet
Excellent, Luc... now Mr. al-Fayed can prop you up as the conspirator...
9:12 am
Haz1558
So you're not the one attending the inquest every day, Atalante? There's at least one man who goes every day with DIANA painted on his face in blue letters.
9:12 am
Haz1558
Hmmm, let's think who that might be, FMItch?
9:12 am
montreal13
lol FM...
9:12 am
LoriP
Blue paint on his face. Why is it tailgate parties can't be far of.....
9:13 am
Judi
Morning all. Hey, Ata... did you wave to George Clooney while you were at Lake Como. Word is, he has a villa there.
9:13 am
Scarlet
FM... would that that word were all that is used, frequently...
9:13 am
Atalante
she did provide one of the freakiest experiences of my life though. I came back from Milan the day before her funeral, and I walked through London to get home and people were sitting and lying down all over Knightsbridge and screaming and crying and wailing. it was *really* odd
9:14 am
Scarlet
That behavior really confuses me, Ata...
9:14 am
montreal13
i was perturbed that so much media attention was given Di's passing versus Mother Theresa's death...
9:14 am
Haz1558
Babble does educate in areas you don't want to be educated in, Scarlet.
9:14 am
LoriP
**Not me, I can't be educated, no matter how hard you try***
9:14 am
FMitch
It always perplexes me as we come here as lovers of words yet some are unable to express w/o resorting to um, basics when there is such a bounteous choice to be had.
9:15 am
Scarlet
Indeed, Haz. Although I am not deeply schooled in the patois of certain areas, I know enough that it is rude, crude, vulgar and impermissable for decent folk.
9:15 am
montreal13
basics, nice choice of word there FM...
9:16 am
EvaNadine
my phantom word for today: Bruise
9:16 am
Atalante
it confused me too! london felt really alien that day
9:17 am
montreal13
the "sleep" fly is in there though: ts6
9:17 am
FMitch
You got that yesterday EvaN when you slept walked in the the log and bashed against the grid.
9:17 am
Scarlet
I dont' "get" it... the mass hysteria... the complete abandonment to public grief...
9:17 am
EvaNadine
this is true!
9:17 am
Haz1558
I don't understand people's need to lay flowers at the scene of a tragedy. It's as if they're saying 'Look at me at how I'm suffering' - especially strange if they haven't known the person in life.
9:18 am
Atalante
but kensington palace looked amazing with all the flowers, like a carpet
9:19 am
Scarlet
That, too, Haz. I recall, vividly, September 11, 2001... people were walking on the street with pale, sticken faces... not outward expression of grief, anger, fear... just automatons in a state of shock.
9:19 am
Vicuna
August 31, 1997, you say? I was just ending a 4 days' field hockey pre-season training bout as new coach at a new job in a new school and had neither time nor energy to even look at the news, let alone spare any energy for sympathy or sorrow beyond the self-pity I had already lavished on myself. I collapsed in bed the instant I arrived home.
9:20 am
montreal13
hi Vi - what an entrance !!
9:20 am
Scarlet
Now, THAT is a perfect excuse!
9:20 am
Vicuna
Hello, all!
9:20 am
Haz1558
Well, you're in the clear, Vicuna.
9:20 am
Haz1558
And hello to you!
9:21 am
LoriP
G'd morning Vic. 'Yer late. Punctuality is important.
9:21 am
ypsigirl
93 down, 93 to go, good time to take a break!
9:21 am
Scarlet
LOL, Lor... now, you're warming up a tad!
9:21 am
Haz1558
Vicuna, Lori is on a good behaviour day today. Her sefl-righteousness is going to be difficult to live with if it goes on for long.
9:21 am
Vicuna
Don't I know it, Lori! Would you like to hear an excuse?
9:21 am
Uniquity
I've been whipping her into shape, Haz. Don't worry about it
9:21 am
LoriP
Good job ypsi! ***I'm not warming up, i continue to be properly behaved***
9:22 am
Uniquity
Maybe if she is god for ten more minutes I wil allow her a sip of water...
9:22 am
Scarlet
Don't beat all the oddness out of her, Uni...
9:22 am
montreal13
later ypigirl
9:22 am
LoriP
Only if it's a really creative excuse Vic.
9:22 am
Vicuna
If she's god for any amount of time she'll sip any water she da-- well pleases, I think!
9:22 am
Scarlet
God? Or, good... you folks have a strange training regimen...
9:22 am
ypsigirl
Everyone wish Lara226 a Happy birthday!
9:22 am
Haz1558
If she is god? Has she got delusions of deity?
9:22 am
Uniquity
Hey, Fm and Scrabbler are always telling me to contol my mother! Now I do it and you guys complain **humph**
9:22 am
Scarlet
Okay, ypsigirl!
9:22 am
Atalante
Sept 11th was another "28 Days Later" episode of London life. I was in Canary Wharf and everyone was freaking out that Canary Wharf would be the next target. I ended up walking home to Greenwich, through the little foot tunnel under the Thames, in completely deserted streets
9:23 am
LoriP
***ponders the notion that she is a god. Likes the idea***
9:23 am
montreal13
Bonne fête Lara226 !!! - YOUPPI !!
9:23 am
FMitch
Lori I am pleased you are following the example I set yesterday.
9:23 am
Haz1558
Happy birthdy Lara226!
9:23 am
ypsigirl
(don't think she is looking right now)- but I will tell her later!
9:23 am
LoriP
Happy Birthday Lara
9:23 am
Haz1558
birthday, even.
9:24 am
Atalante
Happy birthday Lara!!
9:24 am
Scarlet
FMitch... what example? Of being rational?
9:24 am
Haz1558
Is this going to be like the Scarlet greeting fest yesterday? Do we say happy birthday on a regular basis?
9:24 am
ypsigirl
I told her this grid looked a little wonky this morning, with all the E's...
9:24 am
Uniquity
Not fair...my lappy keyboard is filled with dirt and the keys sometimes don't press :(
9:24 am
Vicuna
The first I heard about Sept. 11 was trying to keep girls cam with rumors of mass invasion flying around and knowing knowing what had happened.
9:24 am
LoriP
Happy Birthday to all th eother people that aren't loking at chat either.
9:24 am
montreal13
happy b'day Lara !!
9:24 am
Vicuna
Happy Birthday, lara!
9:24 am
FMitch
I was modest, quiet in atitude and even tempered (and I didn't get blamed for anything at all yesterday)!
9:24 am
Scarlet
LOL... now I must look back at all the delightfully considerate people who "Howdied" me to make up for Lucien's crushing and painful actions...
9:25 am
Atalante
oh I think you did ...
9:25 am
Scarlet
Congratulations then, FMitch... that may be a first.
9:25 am
Haz1558
FMitch is modelling herself on me.
9:25 am
Vicuna
Oh bother. Forget these long paragraphs. I'm going back to snappy one-liners. I usually have only one typo in each of those.
9:25 am
Haz1558
Hello bf.
9:25 am
LoriP
G'd morning bf
9:25 am
montreal13
immediately after sept 11, the skies were empty of any planes except some Saudis: only birds and the hovering Annie were left aloft...
9:26 am
montreal13
hi bf !
9:26 am
Scarlet
Hello bf!!
9:26 am
bfsog
ive had a hellish day - been driving for about 5 hours.
9:26 am
Scarlet
And Annie has not landed yet, Luc!
9:26 am
LoriP
Yes monty, Annie had her choice of altitudes.
9:27 am
Scarlet
The entire community of Babble would do well to model themselves after you, Haz.
9:27 am
montreal13
lol scarlet - ohhh nice one Lori !
9:27 am
Scarlet
OH, nasty, bfsog... welcome to the warm confines of your Babble home...
9:27 am
FMitch
Hi bf, why so much driving?
9:27 am
Haz1558
What a laugh, Scarlet! Small, dumpy people typing away.
9:28 am
Scarlet
It is the heart that I hear, Haz.
9:28 am
Uniquity
*refuses to be like Haz. *Draws on Lori's clean shirt
9:28 am
LoriP
I'm not small!
9:28 am
FMitch
Ah Haz, I strive for perfection but would never presume to reach your illustrious heights.
9:28 am
Scarlet
Uni, the Rebel... always the contrarian...
9:28 am
bfsog
had to meet a work contact, who i thought was about 30 miles away. turns out to be a 150 mile round trip
9:28 am
Haz1558
Oh Scarlet, If you only knew some of the unexpressed thoughts!
9:28 am
LoriP
***Threatens to unplug router, if Uni doesn't behave***
9:29 am
Uniquity
I am too tall to be short...
9:29 am
Vicuna
Oh, FM, you had to tease Haz about "heights" didn't you.
9:29 am
Haz1558
(Weeping quietly at my lack of inches)
9:29 am
montreal13
pretty deep Uni...
9:29 am
bfsog
who is the tallest babbler
9:29 am
Uniquity
**mails Hazel a pretty pair of tall party shoes
9:29 am
FMitch
Wha... what did I do? I never tease Haz you know that
9:29 am
Scarlet
I could be crucified if I were to give voice to some of my darker thoughts, too, Haz... and I have nearly caved in to voicing them on occasion.... and the logical part of my mind told me, "Don't do it... it's not worth it... people are people and some people are mean, selfish, self-absorbed and cruel."
9:30 am
FMitch
I'm 6 ft bf
9:30 am
sadie52
good morning everyone
9:30 am
Haz1558
Oooooh, platform shoes. Brings me back to my youth in the seventies.
9:30 am
Uniquity
Is that why you don't e-mail me back Scarlet? :D
9:30 am
montreal13
hi sadie
9:30 am
Vicuna
I'm 15 ft 4 inches... when I'm standing on an upper floor.
9:30 am
LoriP
FM wins. G'd morning sadie
9:30 am
FMitch
OK so we have set the bar then bf ... looking for babblers over 6ft then.
9:30 am
Haz1558
I know, Scarlet. I have expressed the thoughts sometimes, but it does no good.
9:31 am
Scarlet
Awww.... No, Uni... my time has been extremely limited lately. But, I shall write to you!
9:31 am
Haz1558
bf is obviously wanting to rub it in. Asking who is the tallest babbler....
9:31 am
LoriP
Okay, Vic wins then.
9:31 am
Uniquity
I am only 5 foot 10... I have lost
9:32 am
bfsog
haz can have a couple of my inches, i am now 5'10 and haz is +2
9:32 am
sadie52
wow I am shorter
9:32 am
Uniquity
** donates .75 inches to Haz**
9:32 am
Haz1558
I'm five foot one and a bit.
9:32 am
montreal13
was 5'11 and a half ... but somehow, lost an inch...in height that is
9:32 am
Scarlet
Five feet, seven and a half inches tall... or, at least I used to be, before age set in... LOL
9:32 am
LoriP
***talk of inches, is tempting me back to the naughty side***
9:33 am
Haz1558
But montreal, your fedora should put a few inches back?
9:33 am
FMitch
lol monty ;)
9:33 am
montreal13
true haz - give me 6 foot 1 then !
9:33 am
EvaNadine
im a mere 5' 6 1/2"
9:33 am
LoriP
Haz is 3 apples high. That's awesome!
9:33 am
Uniquity
**ignores Lori**
9:33 am
Scarlet
LOL... Luc, almost the exact posts!!
9:33 am
Vicuna
How careless of you to lose height, montreal. Where did you last see it?
9:34 am
montreal13
GMTA and all that :-)
9:34 am
Atalante
yeah, but really he has a beret, not a fedora
9:34 am
FMitch
monty, having a boufant hair do does not count towards extra inches.
9:34 am
LoriP
***Ignores Uni ignoring me, reaches for router cord***
9:34 am
Uniquity
Maybe his fedora wears a beret?
9:35 am
montreal13
was minding my own business when, all of a suuden, out of the blue, "something" struck and here i was with an inch gone !!
9:35 am
montreal13
lol fm
9:35 am
Scarlet
Those rampaging Mounties are on the loose again, Luc!
9:35 am
Vicuna
So it may have been stolen, eh? *looks meaningfully at FM*
9:35 am
LoriP
***weeps at the tragedy and ramifications of an inch lost***
9:35 am
Haz1558
Fedoras and berets don't mix. Their families have never got along since the War of Spanish Succession.
9:36 am
Haz1558
You see, if it was an inch lost off the waist, we'd be rejoicing. But an inch off the head....
9:36 am
Atalante
lori, an inch off his *height*. don't get a dirty mind again
9:36 am
montreal13
BERET !!!!!!, esprit was saying the same yesterday - i will repeat : i do not own a béret, never did ! "humff"
9:36 am
Scarlet
Old Man Time, CLEARLY, is the culprit... we cannot blame FMitch!
9:36 am
FMitch
Careful Vi, Last time I took an inch I ended up taking amile!
9:36 am
Uniquity
Well, my tinfoil fedora and tinfoil beret got together and made a saran wrap pirate hat...
9:37 am
Scarlet
Lovely, Uni. Is it time for your medication, dear?
9:37 am
FMitch
*smiles adoringly at Scarlet and says Hello just incase*
9:37 am
Vicuna
lol, FM. If you tell us you're a mile tall, FM, we will not dispute your tallest Babbler status.
9:37 am
Scarlet
Lucien is not the beret type...
9:37 am
Scarlet
LOL, FMitch!
9:37 am
LoriP
Ata, you say again? Like it ever stopped. ***cough***
9:37 am
Haz1558
We've been so busy concentrating on Lori being good that we haven't noticed Uni's downward spiral.
9:37 am
Haz1558
I feel very guilty.
9:38 am
montreal13
so right scarlet
9:38 am
Uniquity
**plays in mud**
9:38 am
Vicuna
Maybe there's a sort of conservation of goodness going on between them.
9:38 am
LoriP
She is in decline Haz. I've noticed things. I dasn't say much while she's near me.
9:38 am
Scarlet
We Canucks must stick together, Luc!~
9:38 am
montreal13
it's a family thing with Lori and Uni, like a balancing act...
9:38 am
Scarlet
Can she be violent, Lori?
9:39 am
Haz1558
Can we work out a secret code that Uni can't understand?
9:39 am
Uniquity
Scarlet's a canuck? When did that happen?
9:39 am
montreal13
Canucks ? you scarlet ??
9:39 am
FMitch
Isn't that a duck, oh no thats cannard
9:39 am
LoriP
Well, let's just say I locked the knives and lighters up before she got here.
9:39 am
Vicuna
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm seeing Old Glory next to her name.
9:40 am
Haz1558
So no fire batons then?
9:40 am
Scarlet
Uni, my paternal grandmother, who moved from France in the early 1900s, became a Canuck for many decades before moving to Boston, where she met my grandfather.
9:40 am
montreal13
so do I Vi, so do i...
9:40 am
Vicuna
A Canuck is canoe with a hole in the botttom.
9:40 am
Uniquity
I dunno Scarlet...I think you might have had to live in Canada to be a canuck...
9:40 am
montreal13
lol Vi...
9:40 am
LoriP
No open flame of any kind. ***nods knowingly***
9:41 am
Scarlet
So, a few cells in the brain will occasionally acknowledge that genetic tie...
9:41 am
Vicuna
She just wants an excuse to "stick together" with montreal. Tsk tsk.
9:41 am
Haz1558
That's good, Lori. Barbecue season is going to be difficult.
9:41 am
Scarlet
LOL, Vi... back to the one-liner zingers!!
9:41 am
Uniquity
**starts hissy fit on par with Scarlet's...you guys *aren't fair!* Never let me do what I want - never let me stay up late - didn't buy me a zebra - *Holds breath*
9:42 am
montreal13
about those canoes, people at one end don't worry that there's a hole at the bottom b/c the hole is at the other end...
9:42 am
Haz1558
Lori, you have our permission to slap.
9:42 am
LoriP
Well, I am toddling off. I'm gonna' have to deal with this tantrum, and it may not be pretty. ***gets restraints from closet, dusts them off***
9:42 am
Vicuna
But Uni, I DID buy you a zebra! It isn't MY fault you chose to house it with your lion!
9:42 am
montreal13
lol lori and have a great day
9:42 am
FMitch
Quickly gets hold of Uni and takes her to the naughty step in the new corner of the PB (has padded walls)
9:42 am
Uniquity
**follows Lori, still holding breath**.
9:43 am
LoriP
Vic is back in form, I see. lolol
9:43 am
Uniquity
Oh thank you Vic, I knew ONE of my angels would come through for me **hugs**
9:43 am
Vicuna
Bye, Lori! Bye, Uni!
9:43 am
Scarlet
Let the beatings begin...
9:43 am
LoriP
Have a good one all. ***is blue a bad clor during tantrums?***
9:43 am
LoriP
*color even
9:43 am
Vicuna
No, Lori. It's considered very soothing and restful.
9:44 am
montreal13
"whispering to scarlet: this Canuck thing did not work, we'll have to find somethong else to justify our (sticking together)"...
9:44 am
Haz1558
Slapping starts when it's a delicate shade of kingfisher and not before.
9:44 am
montreal13
something* even...
9:44 am
Scarlet
**psssst.... we will figure something plausible, Luc***
9:44 am
Haz1558
Freudian slip, montreal. Somethong else? Where IS your mind these days?
9:45 am
Atalante
the same place as Lori;s obviously
9:45 am
montreal13
maybe at the same place as the ar4 word hazel ??
9:45 am
Vicuna
Montreal, I don't know what to tell you. The two of you are sitting there in a canoe with a hole, and if you aren't clinging together as the ship goes down, nothing's going to work.
9:45 am
FMitch
Cues up the Thong Song on the CD player and turns up the volume..
9:45 am
Scarlet
Hahhahhaaaaaaaaa... thank you, Haz... that might have gone unnoticed... LOL
9:45 am
montreal13
"in a low voice : okay scarlet"
9:45 am
Haz1558
But if they sing 'My heart will go on', will that not save them? Isn't Celine Dion Canadian?
9:45 am
sadie52
oh for a few more consonants in this grid
9:46 am
Vicuna
Good point, Haz. It's all starting to hang together.
9:46 am

Cues up 'Jump' by Van Halen and turns it up full blast......

9:48 am
Haz1558
Bye montreal - see you later, sans ou avec beret!
9:48 am
Vicuna
Goodbye, montreal!
9:48 am
Vicuna
(Someone check whether Scarlet "just happens" to be sneaking off now, too.)
9:48 am
sadie52
i have 46 and ive decided its gonna be a long babbling day lol
9:48 am
snags
for sure sadie
9:49 am
Haz1558
I have to pre-warn the Brits that the Irish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest (Celine once sang in it so there is a tenuous connection), consists of a turkey puppet singing a song entitled 'Douze points'. You heard it here first.
9:49 am
Scarlet
Later, Lucien! Be well.
9:49 am
montreal13
"not beloved by me, that's for su4" - bye all dear babbling friends " - "POOF" - FORGET THE BÉRET HAZEL" - "ACTUAL POOF"
9:49 am
FMitch
I did ask you for an interview on that subject at 9.00 log time Haz but to no avail.
9:49 am
Scarlet
Oh, good grief, Haz... that sounds to be an atrocious act...
9:49 am
Haz1558
Pas de beret pour montreal.
9:49 am
Vicuna
That sounds fantastic, Haz!
9:50 am
Haz1558
I haven't seen the whole thing, they showed a snippet on the news yesterday and it defies description. It'll probably win.
9:50 am
Scarlet
LOL, Vi... just read your post...
9:50 am
Vicuna
If turkey puppets are going to be all the rage this season I'd better save the ones my children made this past Thanksgiving...
9:50 am
Haz1558
I wonder if it's on youtube?
9:51 am
montreal13
now you have it ((hazel)) - bye ((scarlet)) - "REAL ACTUAL POOF"
9:51 am
Scarlet
:-) Luc!!
9:51 am
Haz1558
Bye montreal!
9:51 am
Lara226
Hey Ypsi told me I missed Birthday wishes..thanks everyone
9:51 am
FMitch
Can someone tell MONTY you can only poof ONCE, more than that is just not socually acceptable.
9:52 am
Scarlet
Well, BabbleNation, I really must go peel potatoes now... nothing whatsoever to do with Lucien... will return later, ALONE... LOL
9:52 am
FMitch
Yay Happy Birthday Lara
9:52 am
Scarlet
Multiple poofings are now forbidden... I just inscribed the Law of England's Law books, FM!
9:52 am
Vicuna
The way he poofs so excessively he really can only be called a poofter.
9:53 am
Scarlet
Happy Birthday to YOU, Lara226!! @@@ <----- roses and balloons...
9:53 am
Atalante
well in that case, he *must* have a beret somewhere
9:53 am
Scarlet
**snort**
9:53 am
Vicuna
Oh wait, I forgot that Enable spells it pooftah.
9:54 am
arwennn
isn't "rebute" a word?
9:54 am
Haz1558
If you google Douze points turkey, there's a piece on Anorak news with a video. I apologise in advance and point out that I hold a British passport.
9:54 am
Vicuna
Only if you can bute the first time, arwenn.
9:54 am
FMitch
I must take a break, my side hurts from laughing.
9:54 am
Haz1558
PENALTY BOX
9:55 am
Vicuna
Ah, apparently you can?
9:55 am
Haz1558
bu4/7 was her downfall.
9:55 am
FMitch
Was't that entrapment?
9:55 am
Vicuna
Well, whaddaya know!
9:55 am
Vicuna
Thanks and sorry, everyone!
9:55 am
Haz1558
Was there a conspiracy to entrap?
9:56 am
Vicuna
Serves me right for not being up on my street terms for drugs.
9:56 am
Haz1558
Happy Birthday Lara, by the way.
9:56 am
Scarlet
I sense a plot to conspire to entrap, wrapped in an enigma, embraces by a dichotomy...
9:56 am
Scarlet
*embraced*
9:57 am
Haz1558
Yes, we're very up in our street language around here.
9:57 am
Scarlet
Hi, Scarlet! There, don't I feel better now?
9:57 am
Vicuna
I thought you were "folding laundry" or something, Scarlet. But no, you just have "embraced" on your mind. Hmmm....
9:57 am
arwennn
Oh. I was thinking of "rebuke." Sounds similar lol
9:57 am
Scarlet
LOL...potatoes call. Feisty tu6/27!!
9:57 am
Haz1558
Can't help thinking about the song 'Somethong in the way she moves...'
9:58 am
Scarlet
LOL...haahhahahahaaaaa OH, Haz, I have joined FMitch in sore sides and aching belly from the laughter...
9:59 am
Haz1558
I just hope your nose hasn't started bleeding!
9:59 am
Vicuna
Humor is apparently a double-edged sword.
9:59 am
Haz1558
Anyway, I have to go - it was fun talking with you all. Bye for now!
9:59 am
Scarlet
It is packed, as unattractive as that image may be, Haz... if I continue to bleed so heavily, it will have been worth it!
10:00 am
Haz1558
Take care, Scarlet. Bye!
10:00 am
Vicuna
Bye, Haz, and I guess I will toddle off and do something "useful" for a bit.
10:00 am
Scarlet
Time for more peroxide. See you all later!
10:01 am
Scarlet
Useful? Bah! **Poof**

1:25 pm
danf63

1:25 pm
Krista
Which is worse..husband who talks too much, or too little? I always think my husband is too quiet..easy to misinterpret moods, have to "beat the details out of him" about things...but when he is in a rare talkative mood, he gets on my nerves because I'm not used to all the prattling. Poor guy can't win. (hi all)
1:26 pm
danf63
hi Krista!
1:26 pm
Atalante
that sounds familiar, krista!

1:30 pm
Deeha
My husband used to say 'you watch anything you want' and when I picked something he'd spend the whole time sighing and saying how much longer......!!!
1:30 pm
Krista
lilli...wow, maybe that's universal, too (the TV thing)..thought that only happened here!
1:31 pm
Atalante
yep! and he talks over anything I want to watch, but woe betide me if I whisper during his progs!
1:31 pm
Krista
hee hee, yep
1:31 pm
lilliann
exactly ata!!
1:32 pm
echoesuk
or they read the paper and start telling you the news!
1:32 pm
Krista
Patrick will sit there are pretend to hate my reality shows, but I know he's secretly into them. ;)
1:32 pm
Atalante
ohhhhh yes krista!
1:33 pm
lilliann
he moans about babble then sits and does some for me....what cheek!!!!
1:34 pm
Atalante
mine comes along and says "xyz have you got that?" "abc have you got that?" when they are the most obvious words in the grid
1:34 pm
Atalante
me: yes! yes! YES! YES! GO AWAY!
1:36 pm
ursh
next sentence has to be - him : well I was only trying to help!! - right ata?
1:36 pm
Krista
ROFL..it's so good to commiserate. :)
1:36 pm
Atalante
those exact words
1:37 pm
ursh
so there we go men ARE universally the same
1:38 pm
lilliann
builders here bbl
1:38 pm
Atalante
at this time of night??!
1:39 pm
ursh
My husband who swears he does NOT snore - we recorded him snoring in his chair and sent it to his cell phone as a ring tone was totally furious and convinced we set it up cos he KNOWS he does not snore
1:39 pm
Atalante
yep! that too!
1:40 pm
Krista
heh heh..send him for a sleep eval..I had the SAME thing..he would even tell me he was AWAKE when I said he was snoring..they confirmed that he has terrible sleep apnea. He has had the CPAP machine for a year now and won't use it.
1:40 pm
ursh
Hey I know i snore and drool - thats why i could never have a toy boy - poor kid would run a mile
1:41 pm
Krista
(that's really funny about the ring tone!!)
1:41 pm
Atalante
mine has the CPAP machine, puts the mask on for 1/2 an hour and then takes it off in his sleep *sigh*
1:41 pm
ursh
Well Krista I though it was hilarious but I am afraid his lordship was not amused
1:42 pm
Krista
that's a prob Ata, but at least he tries...lol, Ursh..some people have no sense of humor
1:43 pm
Atalante
his dr convinced him he was going to die in his sleep if he didn't use his CPAP :P
1:44 pm
Krista
That WOULD be motivating. It really is like dying for a minute or two. And Patrick will kick his legs all over the place when he finally breathes. Not good for the heart at all.
1:44 pm
Krista
(I sleep on the sofa) :l
1:45 pm
Atalante
exactly. its not good. but I'm not sure how 1/2 an hour of good breathing helps per night LOL. I tend to sleep in the spare bedroom with the dog!
1:48 pm
Krista
I have one, too, and can't sleep without it now. I don't snore, but I hold my breath. Had no idea I had it until I went to doc for fatigue. It has made a huge difference. Hope doggie doesn't start snoring. ;)
1:48 pm
Atalante
she DOES!
1:49 pm
Krista
ROFL....you poor thing!!
1:49 pm
Atalante
even the CAT snores here
1:50 pm
Krista
I can sleep with the TV on, music, clocks ticking..you name it, but not snoring. Maybe it's too irregular or something...how do u stand it.
1:51 pm
Atalante
I tend to sleep during the day. I reckon I get about 4 hours of sleep a night on a good night, and just catch up during the day
1:54 pm
lilliann
back again, sorry to hear about all the sleep problems
1:54 pm
lilliann
the builders are here to give us quotes for some work we want doing ata
1:55 pm

3:09 pm
Scarlet
I have to say it: this is one good cake! And, it is the only thing I bake that has a cake mix base, and you add yeast and other stuff to it... mix your canned cherries with almond, sugar and put on top, then the slightly sweetened marscapone, and then the topping... too darned good!
3:09 pm
Denny
ooh stop scarlet....
3:09 pm
Denny
ooh no it's got almond in it yuck!!!
3:09 pm
Angela
ok - not good for the laptop to be covered in drool
3:10 pm
Scarlet
I wish I could feed you all!! No, it's almond extract, Denny!
3:10 pm

Hi norma, in London for a couple of nights and been on a stand all day so feet killing and missing home. G&T seemed the solution (although at £6.50 for a double it will just be the one!!)
3:18 pm
Angela
go sadie go!!
3:18 pm
Denny
Is that a hint of almond she can smell (cue dramatic music) or is it that deathly poison CYANIDE
3:18 pm
Scarlet
And Denny is tiptoeing up to taste it... she hates nuts and thinks that perhaps a touch of almond extract will be too overwhelming...
3:18 pm
stidmama
almond, cyanide, if it's cake, I'd like a piece please...
3:18 pm
Scarlet
It is....... Black out. Curtain falls. Offstage screams.
3:19 pm
Norma
In that case keep hitting the bottle - it helps you sleep. Take care cu soon XX
3:19 pm
Angela
i'd almost risk the cyanide for a piece of that cake about now!
3:19 pm
Scarlet
LOL, stid... here's a fat slice!
3:19 pm
stidmama
ROFL!!!! *claps hands with delight*

3:41 pm
stidmama

3:43 pm
Scarlet
Isn't it a Yiddish word for troubles and pain?

Scarlet
Then plural; and the process of loaning.. usually at exhorbitant rates... a negative meaning.
3:46 pm
stidmama

3:47 pm
Scarlet
You're welcome, Luc!

Look for a man who, when not shovelling his yard and sidewalks, is hunkered down behind the wheel of a suspicious vehicle, going like Roadrunner whenever he spots an RCMP!!

4:17 pm
montreal13
well, i can't blame you there Uni...hehe...
4:17 pm
Uniquity
terminal underwear, now that is a concept!
4:17 pm
herinfernallady
No kitty is alive and lounging on the glory that is the heated couch
4:17 pm
Vicuna
Better keep growing that beard then, montreal. It's goign to have to cover a lot once Uni's finished with you.
4:17 pm
redturtlehead
llo people.
4:17 pm
KatieMcG
Rhubarb always comes for a cuddle before bedtime and drools really badly. she then shakes her head, not a good way to get to sleep

4:18 pm
Uniquity

4:18 pm

I was away one night last week and she went mad when I got home, dread to think how she will be on thursday
4:18 pm
Atalante

Vicuna
Farewell, montreal.
4:18 pm
montreal13
lol - you gals are nuts... but lots of fun !
4:18 pm
herinfernallady
YEp. Couch is over a heating vent. Vent blows heat up back of couch and since couch is not flush with wall there is a gap that is wide enough for warmth
4:19 pm
LoriP
***reading and lurking, since raunchy seems to have been an udnerstatement...***
4:19 pm

Until another day, dear Luc. Be well.

4:19 pm
montreal13
"bye all "REAL POOF"
4:20 pm
KatieMcG
*so he says!!!!*
4:20 pm
Scarlet
Multiple poofings!! A seven dollar fine, Lucien!
4:20 pm
Vicuna
Yeah, katiew. He never manages to poof first time off. It's a wonder he ever got his poofing license.
4:20 pm
periwinkle
49 left to find, time to feed my cat, bbs
4:20 pm
stidmama
well now we can revert to l'anglaise I suppose...
4:21 pm
Scarlet
This was incorporated into the Law of England earlier today... Absolutely NO multiple poofings...
4:21 pm
stidmama
later peri!
4:21 pm
Atalante
multiple poofings. unfortunatley more common than multiple orgasms
4:21 pm
KatieMcG
If i didn't say poof I would never go!!
4:21 pm
Scarlet
Later, peri-kins!
4:21 pm
Vicuna
But perhaps it didn't make it into the Law of Canada?
4:22 pm
candy1
Can anyone advise me with technical computer stuff?
4:22 pm
Uniquity
Speak for yourself Ata...
4:22 pm
stidmama
how technical, candy?
4:22 pm
Vicuna
Well, it would certainly be, ummm... interesting if the multiple orgasms were going on in the Babble chat log.
4:22 pm
KatieMcG
Lol Candy you might have come to the wrong place
4:23 pm
Uniquity
:D Knew Vic wouldn't let that ball drop..
4:23 pm
Atalante
well. just on average. in the world
4:23 pm
KatieMcG
VICUNA!!!!!
4:23 pm
Atalante
you ignored me earlier, uni. we want to see a photo.
4:23 pm
stidmama
but atalante brought up that word first...
4:23 pm
Vicuna
Hey, Ata's the one who suggested it.
4:23 pm
Atalante
I get away with it, though. Vi doesn't
4:24 pm
Uniquity
Photos aren't nearly as fun as imagineration..
4:24 pm
candy1
Stid - I have lost all my internet services and had to start a new account. I haven't been able to babble for months and had to start afresh here too. Can I get my old account for babble back?
4:24 pm
KatieMcG
sorry vicuna I didn't see that. ATALANTE!!!!
4:24 pm
Uniquity
and i must say, i have never seen a picture of you, young lady!
4:24 pm
stidmama
Uniquity is really a bearded man in a fedora. Her first language is french...
4:24 pm
Atalante
havent ever looked on facebook then??!
4:24 pm

4:24 pm

Can anyone please help with the ts 6 that is not the fly or its plural?
4:24 pm
stidmama
YES candy, generally you can. write to Dr. God and ask him for help
4:25 pm
Uniquity
You look on *my* facebook then!
4:25 pm
KatieMcG
Actually that's a good question Candy. I would like to change my babble name after I am married but don't want to lose my account
4:25 pm
Vicuna
Especially now that we're imagining Uni wearing fishnets over a fish-tail, with a gorgeous top half like a mermaid.
4:25 pm
stidmama
BUT it will depend on you remembering what your old account name was.
4:25 pm
Uniquity
And some questionable pants to go with the beret and beard??
4:25 pm
Mom
sorry, Mrae, I can't help
4:25 pm
stidmama
I know that when faeriekae forgot her password, they had to create a whole new account for her.
4:26 pm
stidmama
But I don't think she had to pay another fee (could be wrong on that)
4:26 pm
Vicuna
ts + multiple Mr Gagarins
4:26 pm
candy1
I will email Dr G now then Thanks for the help
4:26 pm
Scarlet
Uni, take my word for it: Atalante is a stunner with laser eyes full of mystery and intrigue...
4:26 pm
Atalante
no, she didn't
4:26 pm
Atalante
first time I've ever been described that way!
4:26 pm

4:27 pm
jimmel
Vicuna, great clue for the ts...thanks!
4:27 pm
Vicuna
No, Scarlet, you're getting mixed up. The eyes full of mystery and intrigue belong to Hobbit. Ata's the woman behind her.
4:27 pm
Atalante
yes thats more likeit
4:27 pm
Uniquity
We need to have a babble conference...hundreds of computers in one room, with all of us typing away madly at each other, occasionally glancing up to lock eyes with a loved one...
4:27 pm
Scarlet
LOL, Vi... I have seen Ata in her wedding gown, too, and Silverclas et Hobbit weren't in sight!
4:27 pm
stidmama

4:27 pm

I knew reading trashy mags would pay off one day. Thanks for the ts clue stid
4:28 pm
Uniquity
I tried going through Ata's flickr one time, and adored the photos but there were SO many...and my computer was unhappy with me
4:28 pm
stidmama
oh Uniquity, wouldn't that be FUN!
4:28 pm
