herinfernallady

My parents have been married 40 years and have been accused of being 'second time rounders' as they are still in love and my dad is a total idiot at times

2:05 am

Just1Mar

one thing I will not allow him to do, is tell me when to go to bed tho lolol

2:05 am

westford

and there are spaces in our togetherness (not original but one of my favorite quotes)

2:06 am

sprite

not sure how we do it, being so different in many ways, but it works out and still gets better, as you said, west :) Love, acceptance and lots and lots of humour are our tools... and communication.

2:06 am

Just1Mar

space is good....

2:06 am

sprite

2:06 am

westford

2:08 am

Just1Mar

2:09 am

Atalante

ditto, here, Just

2:09 am

herinfernallady

Yes Just i do think i am lucky. Ata hey

2:09 am

sprite

my parents divorced when I was 7, have hated eachother before and after with a vengeance and couldn't love me either. My father broke off all contact and my mother's only connection to me is through my kids, as their grandmother. I often long for parents who love eachother and me... even if they would live at the other end of the world.

2:10 am

sprite

heya Ata :D

2:10 am

Just1Mar

it was hard westie cause i was the one who found him and had to wake up my mother to tell her

2:10 am

sprite

omg 1Mar, that is tough. *hug*

2:10 am

westford

wow that's terrible just

2:10 am

Just1Mar

that's so difficult too spritey

2:11 am

westford

sprite you can only learn from their mistakes

2:11 am

Just1Mar

it was ...I was so young but grew older too fast after that day

2:11 am

Atalante

my father killed himself because of me. lol, its really true, but there's no angst there

2:11 am

sprite

wow, sorry to make a speech. Had a rotten morning and was longing for a mum... guess that is why I blurted out so much.

2:12 am

Just1Mar

oh my ata....that is soo horrible

2:12 am

sprite

that sounds terrible, Ata.

2:12 am

westford

it's so nice to come to babble and tell our troubles to our friends

2:12 am

sprite

true, west. This site proves day after day that trouble shared is trouble halved.

2:12 am

westford

oh dear ata is that why your mother is the way she is?

2:12 am

flosey

oh Ata, that's really rough

2:12 am

Atalante

he wasn't very well. he divorced my mum when I was 1, and I wasn't allowed to see him for various reasons till I was 18. I saw him once when I was 19, he realised what he'd missed, and killed himself a few weeks later

2:12 am

Just1Mar

yes it is and you realize that so many have gone through such terrible ordeals

2:13 am

Atalante

I don't know! My mother is a law unto herself :P:

2:13 am

herinfernallady

I am lucky i have family that love me for who i am.

2:13 am

Atalante

LOL even!

2:13 am

herinfernallady

Ata that is terrible. Its never going to be your fault no matter what he thought. He did it not you.

2:14 am

herinfernallady

Grabs Ata for a hug even is she is squirming out of it

2:14 am

westford

children shouldn't be used period

2:14 am

sprite

jeezzz Ata, how terrible. And how stupid of him... realising what he missed and deciding to miss the rest too. Tssss.

2:14 am

Atalante

oh I know. I am completely chilled with it now!

2:14 am

sprite

I second that, west

2:16 am

Atalante

it was a wonderful lesson though in understanding why one can't blame oneself for other's issues

2:17 am

herinfernallady

My ex told his mum very unpolitely to stay the heck away as she was using his son as a inconvenience. She would never see the grand child

2:18 am

sprite

a very harsh lesson, Ata, but apparently one you managed to learn. You are truly amazing.

2:18 am

herinfernallady

Ata he missed out on a fantastic person

2:18 am

Atalante

now you know how I can teach it to others, spritey dear :D

2:18 am

herinfernallady

Ata is your icon of your pup from yesterday

2:19 am

sprite

I knew it came from experience, Ata, just no details. Thanks for sharing!

2:19 am

Atalante

2:20 am

westford

2:20 am

sprite

ohhhh so lovely. HObbit looks so cute one would want to hug her, but so tired one would hesitate to wake her :D

2:21 am

Atalante

2:21 am

herinfernallady

2:29 am

Atalante

I have to share this. There's a new dictionary being created of "kitchen table lingo", ie words that are used commonly but aren't in the dictionary. like "zapper" for remote control. but the best one was:

embuggerance

for a general annoyance that causes you work

2:29 am

Lizsark

ooo are you finally getting one then Sprite?

2:29 am

herinfernallady

Yah hes home. Must stop for a min

2:30 am

Jellen

2:30 am

sprite

2:30 am

westford

2:32 am

Lizsark

2:32 am

westford

puppies are a lot of work but bring a lot of love

2:35 am

Lizsark

Sprite I dont know what it is either but it flashed up on the screen and now none of the keys type the right letters

2:35 am

sprite

arrrrgh Liz, that is so annoying!

2:35 am

westford

if anyone would give a clue to the ac8 I'd be most grateful

2:35 am

Atalante

To activate StickyKeys

1.

Press the Shift key five times. A dialog box opens with instructions on how to set up the StickyKeys feature.

2.

If you click OK, an icon (a group of squares) appears in the notification area.

To turn off StickyKeys, press the Shift key five times.

2:35 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Hi west, sprite, Jellen, Just & pink! (Don't think I missed anyone!)

2:35 am

Lizsark

ooo clever you ata

2:36 am

sprite

wow Ata

2:36 am

Atalante

oops sorry about the formatting there! blame microsoft help pages!

2:36 am

sprite

*blames Microsoft as usual*

2:36 am

westford

my keys stick on their own

2:37 am

Atalante

I got blamed for planetary wobbles today on another forum. I was rather proud

2:37 am

Just1Mar

ac 7/8 a + head covering + not out (reversed) plus vowel then plural

2:37 am

Lizsark

well it says its cancelled Ata and now the letter keys appear to be fine but the @ and " symbols have swopped places and the full stop and comma have vanished altogether lol

2:37 am

westford

it is the plural? must have gone in the wrong direction thanks just

2:37 am

Just1Mar

yw

2:38 am

sprite

that might just be a wrong keyboard setting, Liz. You could try control + shift

2:38 am

Atalante

mine does that sometimes with the @ and ". Its trying to be American, cos they have those keys swapped

2:38 am

Lizsark

if I try to type in granite one more time I will smack myself!

2:38 am

Just1Mar

maybe you can adjust your keyboard from control panel...

2:38 am

sprite

yeah, thanks for pointing out that one, Liz. Grrrrrr (anite)

2:38 am

Lizsark

ok I'll go have a look and see...

2:38 am

Lizsark

lol Sprite

2:39 am

westford

I think I have new granite countertops

2:39 am

sprite

Usually control + shift selects the other keyboard setting.

2:40 am

Jellen

Thanks, Just. Surely he can't complain if I enter ac 7 and 8.

2:40 am

Lizsark

hmm apparently I have a corrupt driver....time to call in the other half methinks lol

2:40 am

Just1Mar

surely not...but wait.....let's see if he can get them and when not...you'll produce them!

2:40 am

Atalante

time to restart :P

2:40 am

sprite

thanks for the acs

2:41 am

sprite

reboot, Liz.

2:41 am

Just1Mar

vw

2:41 am

Lizsark

I'm going to log off before I do any further damage lol - be back later when I'm on the other pc in the shop :)

2:42 am

sprite

I am not even halfway! Is this a tough grid or what?

2:42 am

Just1Mar

bye lis

2:42 am

sprite

bye Liz!

2:42 am

Just1Mar

I find it tough spritey, although I started a lot earlier than you did

2:42 am

westford

bye liz hurry back

2:42 am

Atalante

its not the easiest is it?

2:42 am

Jellen

Later, Liz

2:43 am

sprite

was wondering if I was extra stoopid today or if it was the grid. Thanks for giving me back some confidence, lol.

2:43 am

Just1Mar

no and I shall take my 37 aggravating words left and bid you all adieu!

2:43 am

sprite

2:44 am

Just1Mar

2:44 am

sprite

but who is counting, right, west?

2:44 am

westford

bye just you did very well

2:45 am

westford

but first tell me how the ribs turned out

2:45 am

Lorrie_in_SA

G'night Just..

2:45 am

westford

sprite I have a man coming to replace the carpet in the bedrooms in 4 hours

2:46 am

sprite

well, I guess that is one way of describing it, west, lol.

2:46 am

westford

no really lol

2:47 am

sprite

sorry, couldn't resist. In 4 hours, that is very soon indeed.

2:47 am

westford

yes I might as well just stay up

2:47 am

sprite

almost sounds like it... do you have time to take a nap after he is gone?

2:48 am

sprite

cafiar and fiagra don't like people who cannot spell.

2:48 am

westford

I could but we'll probably be putting the house back in order..everything is all over the place

2:49 am

sprite

I mean after that, west. Sleeping in a wonderful new bedroom. But with the window open.

2:49 am

westford

sounds good lol

2:51 am

Atalante

uhoh. Hobbit's come in, wiggling a lot. That means she considers it time for her walk ...

2:51 am

westford

she's so beautiful ata how old is she?

2:51 am

sprite

lol Ata. I just read that you should not let the dog decide things like that.... you are the alfa, right? ;)

2:51 am

Atalante

do you see me heading out for a walk? :P

2:52 am

Atalante

she's 6 :)

2:52 am

westford

I loved her pictures

2:52 am

sprite

seeing how much you enjoy making photographs and watching nature... yes ofcourse! :D

2:53 am

sprite

it is probably alpha, and not alfa, in english...

2:53 am

Atalante

she's an absolute darling girl, and my bestest buddy

2:53 am

Atalante

not yet, I never go out when she thinks its time. I make her wait a bit

2:53 am

Atalante

yes, alpha :P

2:56 am

sprite

I was just pulling your leg, I know you are wonderful with animals.

2:56 am

Atalante

but I won't make her wait long today. It's low tide now so I want to go and mess about on the beach for a while

2:56 am

Atalante

I know :P

2:57 am

westford

we can't walk dogs on our beach after 1 May

2:57 am

Atalante

and Hobbit and I somehow have worked out a very 50:50 relationship, even though she knows I'm In Charge. I'll let her do as she wishes, bumbling around on the beach or wherever, as long as she's safe and will come back when told

2:57 am

Atalante

some of the beaches are like that here, but others are definitely Dog Walking beaches

2:59 am

sprite

that sounds just like I want to have it with our dog, later :)

2:59 am

Atalante

you will. it just takes time and love and time and patience and plenty of vodka for after hard days

3:00 am

westford

and the children will help too won't they?

3:00 am

Atalante

you just have to build up the trust. both ways - her in you, and you in her

3:00 am

sprite

rofl @ the vodka! Well, as far as I can tell, spending lots of time with the puppy and play-training it from the start will give great rewards later on :D

3:00 am

sprite

oh yes, west, they will!

3:01 am

Atalante

and you *will* have bad days and weeks, and you just have to grit your teeth and get through them. its worth it

3:01 am

sprite

that dog is gonne be loved to bits, for sure. And I will make sure he or she is going to be well trained too, so it will be a delight to be around our pup/dog.

3:02 am

sprite

oh god yes... another one going through puberty, rofl. That is 3 in one house. And me menopausing. Tsk.

3:02 am

Atalante

your poor husband :P

3:02 am

sprite

nah, he is penopausing.

3:02 am

Atalante

yup, just grit your teeth and repeat "puppies do grow up. puppies *do* grow up"

3:03 am

Atalante

though of course spaniels take longer to grow up than other dogs :P

3:03 am

sprite

I will pester you for advice, Ata, for sure!

3:03 am

sprite

and we will make sure to take the puppy *everywhere*. So all will be known and the dog can be relaxed around new situations as well.

3:04 am

Atalante

I think Hobbit turned into a properly nice dog when she was about 2 1/2. before then, she was definitely puppy mad

3:04 am

Atalante

absolutely :D

3:04 am

sprite

(take no4, you all. This is how a new pet owner sounds before she has been taken to the test...)

3:04 am

ajv74

Hello, all! And how are we today...?

3:05 am

westford

I think I will try to get a few hours before the man comes goodnight sprite and ata and ajv too

3:05 am

Atalante

discussing puppiness :)

3:05 am

sprite

hi ajv. Not great, but feeling much better for being here with you all. And you?

3:05 am

sprite

very wise, west. Sleep well and enjoy :)

3:06 am

sprite

our puppy will be so cute you won't be able to resist to draw her/him, Ata :D :D

3:06 am

ajv74

I'm fine, thanks. It was quite a sad weekend, though, the funeral of my oldest friend's mother...

3:07 am

Atalante

I like drawing spaniels :D

3:07 am

sprite

I am so sorry for your and her loss, ajv :(

3:07 am

Atalante

:(

3:08 am

ajv74

And she was only 59 years...

3:08 am

Atalante

YES! halfway!

3:08 am

sprite

wow, way too young to die. So sorry.

3:08 am

Atalante

oh thats so sad

3:08 am

sprite

bad timed remark, Ata, lol...

3:08 am

Atalante

yes, I know. sorry!

3:08 am

sprite

*badly

3:09 am

sprite

was it sudden, ajv? Or was she ill?

3:10 am

ajv74

No, it wasn't sudden. She suffered from a very rare disease about one year, so all knew what was going to happen... But still all waited for a miracle...

3:11 am

sprite

of course, we humans always do. *hugs ajv*

3:11 am

ajv74

thank you, all

3:12 am

ajv74

paca

3:12 am

sprite

in the other window, it is valid, ajv ;)

3:12 am

ajv74

oops... *to pb shall I go*

3:13 am

sprite

*hugs Ata too*
Didn't mean to sound judging, just saw the fun of it... bad habit of mine, seeing fun in even the deepest tragedies :(

3:14 am

ajv74

Not the big sorrows, but the little joys should we think more.

3:15 am

sprite

it is a thing that has kept me alive through it all, but I realise it can be taken the wrong way by people. If so, I apologise.

3:15 am

Atalante

lmao. hobbit is edging nearer. she's trying to be subtle ... and failing

3:16 am

sprite

:) there you are. Was afraid for a sec I had said the wrong thing.
Lol @ Hobbit... I can see her doing it.

3:16 am

Atalante

noooooo. i knew what youmeant!

3:17 am

Atalante

hobbit: *sneaks along floor* *FLOP* *SIGH* *sneak* *FLOP* *SIGH*

3:17 am

sprite

that puppy book ruru recommended is brilliant. It says SIT is the most important command. Because you can make the puppy stop practically all bad behaviour with SIT, and then reward it for obeying the command.

3:17 am

Atalante

yep

3:17 am

sprite

ohhhhh THE sighs. I know those sighs. LOLOL.

3:19 am

sprite

my kids have the same sighs. The sigh that says: I am NOT asking for a treat. Get the message. I am NOT asking. Hey!

3:19 am

Atalante

yep!!

3:20 am

Atalante

oh well. I suppose I should take her while it's nice and sunny. I might take my book as well and sit and read on the beach for a while, while she runs madly

3:20 am

sprite

oh lovely, Ata. Wish I could join you two. Enjoy!

3:22 am

Atalante

I'll be back!! *hugs*

3:53 am

hi Lori, it is a tough one! Chewy to say the least.

3:54 am

LoriP

Letters certainly look weird at first glance.

3:54 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Morning, Lori!

3:54 am

sprite

owww love your icon!

3:54 am

lynxxx

There maybe an ar**, but won't take Figaro. Hi there

3:55 am

herinfernallady

HI

3:55 am

hi lyn :) Lots of words just not there today.

3:56 am

Lorrie_in_SA

Hi lyn

4:01 am

LoriP

whoa, you weren't kidding, these letters bite......

4:09 am

lynxxx

I'm liking this one, though still 40 to find...back in a bit

4:11 am

LoriP

Man, my first kick at the can, bottom 10 tiles, no comment...... Musn't be awake yet, yah, that's it, not wake! :D

4:14 am

FMitch

Passes Lori a coffee, you are perfectly capable of doing this grid (but not whilst asleep)!

4:14 am

LoriP

lol, thanks for the coffee FM, G'd morning.

4:14 am

FMitch

Morning :)

4:15 am

Haz1558

And if the coffee doesn't work, slap yourself in the face a few times.

4:15 am

FMitch

LOL

4:16 am

Haz1558

None of this shilly-shallying.

4:16 am

LoriP

G'd morning Haz. Seems drastic, but I can't rule it out.

4:16 am

FMitch

nor lollygagging or dawdling around either

4:17 am

Haz1558

It's all about Positive Mental Attitude. Or something like that, I'm not sure.

4:17 am

FMitch

*helps* Lori by mentioning The Volcano is here

4:18 am

FMitch

Nah, it's all about the monkeys today and how much they can help out.

4:19 am

sprite

sorry, telephone. Hi FMitch, Haz :)

4:19 am

FMitch

morning spritey

4:19 am

LoriP

I have the mental part down Haz, and I have attitude. But somehow I don't think we're talking about them combined.......

4:19 am

Haz1558

Good morning!

4:19 am

sprite

PMA, PMS, what is the difference

4:20 am

Haz1558

People keep their heads with PMA. They lose them with PMS.

4:21 am

sprite

good point

4:21 am

FMitch

one occurs once a month?

4:21 am

sprite

and the other once a year, FMitch?

4:21 am

FMitch

every day!

4:22 am

sprite

My monkeys agree. They are very positively mental and have an attitude every day.

4:23 am

Haz1558

Victoria Wood did a sketch once about fighting flab with positve mental attitude. She called it'Fatitude'.

4:23 am

FMitch

hurrah for monkeys, mine just found the 7/8 combo

4:23 am

LoriP

Okay FM, I give up. Vesuvius isn't in this grid......

4:23 am

sprite

4:23 am

4:24 am

LoriP

lol Haz, sounds like a gooder.

4:24 am

FMitch

oh dear oh dear, shakes head at Lori ... et4/4

4:24 am

Haz1558

It was very funny, Lori. Of course she was wearing a ridiculous leotard at the time so it made it even funnier.

4:25 am

LoriP

etch ?

4:25 am

sprite

and it is not etui, Lori

4:25 am

LoriP

FM, I just can't get it............

4:25 am

Haz1558

Well, if it's monkeys you're after, take a Swahili journey to see them in the flesh. sa6

4:25 am

Haz1558

I think Lori is role-playing.

4:26 am

FMitch

Lobs a bucket of fish at Lori out of frustration.

4:26 am

sprite

thanks Haz, still need that one

4:26 am

sprite

Lori? Never!

4:26 am

LoriP

I thought we were chums, but I draw the line at you using me for chum!

4:27 am

LoriP

I barely survived the last time I got eaten by a shark.

4:27 am

FMitch

ha ha thud. Thats me laughing my head off (cue sarastic font)

4:27 am

sprite

and the shark died

4:29 am

LoriP

heh heh heh

4:30 am

LoriP

***declares this grid to be un-possible, and puts up her 'gone fission' sign***

4:31 am

Haz1558

Well, time I was doing something useful, unless anyone's in desperation for a word.

4:31 am

FMitch

hmmm still haven't hit the wall, interesting grid

4:31 am

sprite

4:31 am

LoriP

Mebbe after the spawnlings are off to school I'll improve.

4:32 am

Haz1558

Right, off I go to spread Positive Mental Attitude while I ir4/4.

4:32 am

LoriP

4:32 am

FMitch

Not for me thanks Haz, Enjoy the day and catch you later

4:32 am

sprite

enjoy, Haz

4:33 am

Haz1558

She just needs to learn to spell them out, Lori. Bye!

4:33 am

LoriP

Enjoy 'yer morning Haz! irgx?

4:33 am

FMitch

FMitch

Blech and such like!

4:35 am

sprite

had to babble on some afternoons, not having the morning off, and had to hide the chat a couple of times.

4:36 am

4:51 am

LoriP

Yowsa, finished the first sleepy eyed scan of the grid, and still 68 left. Ack

4:51 am

4:52 am

pinkhatlil

4:52 am

herinfernallady

Yep. 12 hour boat ride. Its a joke but we need to take the car and we need to think aobut it now

Yay!! Fireworks and all over for another day!

LoriP

Well done Lorrie. Congratulations!!!

4:56 am

bichon

I know I heard something about a disease and Tasmania, but I thought it was koalas

4:57 am

herinfernallady

THe reason they got that name is when the explorers first landed it sounded like a demon in the night. They sound like cat having their tail pulled.

4:57 am

6:33 am

Read-Knit-Bake

Can I ask (maybe a stupid question)...but as soon as I open the grid I know how many words there are. Why doesn't that happen for everyone? Does one's browser show the grid differently?

6:33 am

Atalante

I have 94

6:34 am

carleekat

after 2 weeks if you have not gone pro..you lose the stats

6:34 am

Frances

Hi Ata

6:38 am

Inge2

parsely and sage are good alternatives too

10:20 am

carleekat

10:21 am

nancethefan

what is a pork trotter?

10:21 am

Lindrickway

why would one want to season pork trotters??? LOL

10:21 am

rururocks

not sure what a pork trotter is

10:21 am

Atalante

because pork trotter on its own doesn't taste of much

10:21 am

carleekat

( pigs feet )

10:21 am

nancethefan

ewwwwwwww

10:22 am

Lindrickway

why would one want to eat pork trotters in the first place???? LOL

10:22 am

Krysten

hmmmmm...pickled pigs feet

10:22 am

Atalante

good question LOL but they do!

10:22 am

flosey

10:22 am

Lindrickway

10:22 am

carleekat

nothing pork crosses these lips..period

10:22 am

rururocks

10:22 am

LadyNatts

10:23 am

rururocks

ugh

10:23 am

Lindrickway

10:23 am

LadyNatts

I used to get a kick out of freaking out my friends when I was a kid by opening the deep freezer and showing them a pig's head in there.

10:24 am

rururocks

10:24 am

Krysten

Atalante

looool lady

10:24 am

flosey

thanks ruru

10:24 am

rururocks

that would freak them out alright

10:24 am

nDanLia

pork trotters sound far more interesting than tripe; we have much more sqeamish imaginations than our forebearers; hunger leaves to great imaginations

10:24 am

carleekat

i love meat..just pork does awful things to my insides... results pretty painful....

10:24 am

LadyNatts

my dad ate a lot of strange things too

10:25 am

rururocks

your house must have been a blast around halloween

10:25 am

LadyNatts

halloween is my favourite event of the year!

10:25 am

Atalante

i'd much rather trotters than tripe

10:25 am

rururocks

our forebearers ate acorns too.. you don't see me running out to mash some

10:26 am

Lindrickway

I think I'd rather just go hungry!! LOL

10:26 am

Atalante

you wouldn't if you were truly hungry :P

10:26 am

carleekat

no..u wouldn't....u'd eat it...one day i want to try hagis

10:26 am

LadyNatts

I never did acquire a taste for the head cheese... it was my dad's treat. I love a good liver pate, though.

10:26 am

IndecisiveMonkey

I ate acorns when I was a kid....Also, hey everybody

10:27 am

Atalante

haggis is fine. it just tastes like random meat

10:27 am

bubba218

any help with the ac's, just not seeing them

10:27 am

carleekat

i love good pate... I used to like head cheese as a kid..UNTIL I found out what it was

10:27 am

rururocks

I probably would eat FLosey's FOot salad before tripe..Flo? do you have that recipe.. wash foot throughouhly..trim nails...

10:27 am

carleekat

whenever i get tired of real work, i can toss in a load of laundry or vaccuum or something, then when i get tired of cleaning, i can come back, sit down, and do work....

1:23 pm

Lindrickway

It is very cool here today! )o:

1:23 pm

KrisE

Perfect here, tho it's supposed to get windy/stormy later; how cool is "very cool"? Wearing a sweater?

1:24 pm

Lindrickway

no I am in shorts & tshirt but was cold when I took the dog out!

1:24 pm

KrisE

good excuse to get moving ;)

1:25 pm

Lindrickway

weathernetwork says it is 16 degrees, but after temps of up to 35, it feels cold

1:25 pm

Lindrickway

can only walk relatively slowly at the moment )o:

1:26 pm

KrisE

all is relative, isn't it? It was sticky in Kentucky, so it feels refreshing here

1:26 pm

KrisE

Still moving slowly, eh?

1:26 pm

Lindrickway

well compared to normal yeah!

1:27 pm

KrisE

I've had a knee problem since Halloween, so when I can get in a good walk, I"m very thankful.

1:27 pm

Lindrickway

yeah I love to walk

1:27 pm

KrisE

so much lovely stuff to see, too, in the summer

1:29 pm

Lindrickway

I feel very inactive right now, so walking sort of releases the tension!

1:29 pm

KrisE

are you unused to inactivity, Lindy?

1:30 pm

KrisE

You sound like an active person. Must be frustrating to need to be still-er

1:30 pm

Lindrickway

I work with kids so I am usually playing ball or hockey etc

1:30 pm

Lindrickway

I just feel very sluggish!! LOL

1:31 pm

KrisE

when does the dr expect you to be able to move "normally"? What steps between here and there?

1:31 pm

Lindrickway

and the inactivety isn't helping me get my sleep pattern sorted out either!!

1:32 pm

Lindrickway

dunno yet, I go back to see him a week today, then I will find out

1:33 pm

KrisE

I hope he can give you some milestones at least - or exercises, or something that makes it feel like you're getting there. It's hard to live through a long recovery process

1:33 pm

Lindrickway

until then, no lifting, stretching or bending!

1:33 pm

KrisE

feels like it will never happen

1:34 pm

Lindrickway

I expect he will let me go back to work as soon as my 6 weeks are up

3:49 pm

nancethefan

maybe you will get it from a clue

3:49 pm

Vicuna

or6/27 - starts like mad sex party, ends like crazy man---

3:49 pm

Haz1558

Now why couldn't you have said it starts like a keyboard instrument?

3:49 pm

Dorens

a te***er at my school might be playing babble this afternoon

3:50 pm

Haz1558

You'll be putting ideas in these people's heads.

3:50 pm

Vicuna

Because I was going by what I take to be its actual derivation, of course, dear Haz!

3:50 pm

Dorens

oh sorry. that is the or5/14, what is wrong with me

3:50 pm

iluvcofee

adding to vicuna
or 6/27 - mad sex party + airconditoner

3:50 pm

Haz1558

Derivation nothing. You need to keep their minds on higher things. It's the first rule of clueing;

3:50 pm

Dorens

great clue vic

3:51 pm

nancethefan

thanks y'all

3:51 pm

Vicuna

Yes, you're right, of course, Haz. These people don't need any encouragement for their mad sex parties.

3:52 pm

Vicuna

Speaking of which, how's George?

3:52 pm

Haz1558

Don't I know it. Say nothing about food either. They'll want to start eating.

3:52 pm

Dorens

i'm on the phone right now calling up some fellow or6/27's and inviting them over!

3:52 pm

Vicuna

Oh, what have I done?!?

3:53 pm

Haz1558

George, the Holywood refugee, is as well as can be expected.

3:53 pm

Vicuna

Dorens, get a grip on yourself! Think of the musical instrument!

3:53 pm

Dorens

i just couldn't help it! after seeing that clue, I am overcome with compulsion!

3:53 pm

KatieMcG

Dinner was lovely :-) Just had a call, popping down to the bar in about 10 mins so better get some more words quick!!

3:53 pm

Haz1558

Poor Vicuna. You are young. You have yet to learn the wickedness of the likes of Dorens.

3:54 pm

Dorens

ho ho ho!

3:54 pm

Vicuna

Dorens' depravity is beyond my ken.

3:54 pm

Haz1558

That's why you need to be careful with the words you use. The least thing can set her off.

3:54 pm

Vicuna

And, Haz... How come you know so much about Dorens' wickedness? Did you just get a phone call, by any chance?

3:54 pm

Atalante

good thing Lexlee isn't here

3:54 pm

Dorens

notorious, I am!

3:55 pm

KatieMcG

trouble is I get the wickedness but not the word!!

3:55 pm

Haz1558

How come you DIDN'T know about Dorens? I thought everybody knew.

3:56 pm

Haz1558

Start with a keyboard instrument (first three letters), end with the crazy man***.

3:56 pm

Vicuna

Like you said, Haz, I'm just too innocent and pure-minded, of course!

3:56 pm

Dorens

(been keeping it a secret haz, wink wink, only a special few really know)

3:56 pm

Vicuna

Besides, nobody invites ME to that sort of party.

3:56 pm

KatieMcG

I took the musical instrument one letter too far! thanks Haz

3:57 pm

Dorens

if you bring some of your chocolate truffle pie, vi, we want you!

3:57 pm

Haz1558

We're on to you, Dorens. These CCTV cameras in selected babblers' homes have been very interesting.

3:57 pm

Vicuna

Whoooeee, that IS a party, Dorens!

3:57 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, Katie.

3:57 pm

KatieMcG

you need to move mine to the holiday inn :-)

3:57 pm

Vicuna

Thanks goodness KAtieMcG didn't take the mad sex party too far!

3:58 pm

Dorens

no, that's for me to do

3:58 pm

Haz1558

We're all relieved about that.

3:58 pm

Brussel sprout

as a newbie, I dont understand why a babble grid a few days ago allowed alaska, but today's doesn't allow asia or cairo???

3:59 pm

Dorens

welcome to the world of enable

3:59 pm

KatieMcG

I was on a rare experience to do with the mad parties which starts the same way, I think that puts me firmly with Dorens in the wicked camp :-)

3:59 pm

Haz1558

As old babblers, we've lost the will to care.

3:59 pm

Brussel sprout

pls tell me...what's enable?

3:59 pm

Haz1558

Katie! I'm shocked.

3:59 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Brussel. In theory the dictionary used for Babble does not take any proper nouns. However, many proper nouns also have an improper meaning, which makes them acceptable.

3:59 pm

Atalante

just because, brussel

4:00 pm

KatieMcG

I have tried all of them Brussel as you never know what it will accept. Enable is the programme behind babble

4:00 pm

Haz1558

ENABLE is the dictionary used to decide which words are valid and which are not. Profound disagreements have arisen over the years.

4:00 pm

Dorens

welcome, katie!

4:00 pm

nDanLia

for e.g. a french city today

4:00 pm

Vicuna

The bottom line, however, is that Enable is an irrational and inconsistent dictionary, and you must never question it, just learn to accept it.

4:00 pm

Brussel sprout

TY to enlighteners....Alaska has an improper meaning?

4:00 pm

Dorens

irrational and inconsistent are good words

4:01 pm

KatieMcG

Brussel you will usually see in the chat a word followed by "is so a word!"

4:01 pm

Haz1558

Don't get Dorens started on improper meanings, for goodness sake.

4:01 pm

Dorens

most improper, that's why i have parties there!

4:01 pm

nDanLia

So, to change to topic to please Hazel [I gave that clue earlier today], are all of you coffee maniacs excited about the study released yesterday

4:01 pm

Vicuna

when it's baked, it's a lovely dessert.

4:01 pm

KatieMcG

Not in the Dorens kind of way Brussel ;-)

4:01 pm

Kazzer99

Evening all

4:01 pm

KatieMcG

Evening Kaz

4:01 pm

Dorens

what, telling me that caffeine is good for me?

4:02 pm

Haz1558

I'm not holding my breath, nDanLia. Tomorrow they'll come out with a study that proves coffee is the worst thing you can take.

4:02 pm

Dorens

since i drink at least 3 cups a day, that is always welcome news. hi kazz

4:02 pm

nDanLia

6-8 cups /day has great benefits for women - much lower chances of heart disease/attacj

4:02 pm

Dorens

it all evens out in the wash, haz. just keep eating brussels sprouts

4:02 pm

kim m

any clues for the ac 7's and 8

4:02 pm

Dorens

yes, i had read that a while ago... but then again 6 - 8 cups may increase the growth of certain tumors

4:03 pm

icepyro

there was a study last year that said the same thing about older people

4:03 pm

Vicuna

DORENS! I am shocked that you would suggest Haz eat our new Babble friend!

4:03 pm

nDanLia

ending of ac sounds like sleep disorder

4:03 pm

Haz1558

Are you sure it's as much as 8 cups? The report I read said 2 or 3. Of course maybe I hadn't drunk enough coffee to be able to see properly.

4:03 pm

Dorens

LOVE brussels sprouts myself

4:03 pm

Vicuna

Wait, eating 6-8 older people a day increases the chance of certain tumors? I must cut back!

4:04 pm

k21eyes

mmm brussels sprout,,,sauteed in butter with onion,garlic prm cheese and bread crunms....hmmmmmm goooodddd

4:04 pm

Haz1558

Brussels sprouts are grand provided they're not boiled to death.

4:04 pm

Vicuna

You eat them ALIVE? You people are sick!

4:04 pm

nDanLia

not a coffee person myself, but the local weather person was touting it since the news anchor is a coffeeholic - she avgs 8-10

4:04 pm

Dorens

no.. i'm currently in love with them roasted in very hot oven with olive oil, s & p and they are so scrumtious

4:05 pm

k21eyes

old people or brussel sprouts forens?

4:05 pm

Dorens

whatever......

4:05 pm

k21eyes

dorens

4:05 pm

Dorens

sometimes I just can't find any brussels sprouts at the store, you know?

4:06 pm

Haz1558

Just checked the report. It claims women drinking two to three cups of coffee per day are 25% less likely to have heart trouble.

4:06 pm

k21eyes

I usedto grow them...should do that again

4:06 pm

nDanLia

avoid the brains so you don't get the cannibal disease

4:06 pm

k21eyes

faris

4:06 pm

k21eyes

4:06 pm

Dorens

Dorens

haha that's funny. it rhymes with k21's oops

4:06 pm

Haz1558

Phone...

4:07 pm

Dorens

so 4 - 8 cups a day should be 50% less llikely haz?

4:07 pm

k21eyes

think Ijust gave it away sort of

4:07 pm

nDanLia

i think % was higher as you went up

4:07 pm

Dorens

never eat the brains... too rich for my blood

4:07 pm

Vicuna

Dorens, are you calling Haz up about the party again?

4:07 pm

Dorens

good one vic. i actually did just laugh out loud at that

4:08 pm

Vicuna

That Haz. She pretends to be all responsible and stuff, but she's no better than she should be.

4:09 pm

Vicuna
