jilli, remember I told something about my parents? Haven't seen my father in 10 years, got a weird Xmas card about 1,5 year ago. And now, out of the blue: a letter and a stack of photographs from my childhood.
(not a nice letter, btw).
2:25 am

nDanLia
were the photos ones you'd like to have to pass on? if so, forget the words
2:27 am
sprite
who knows, lol. It was shocking, though. Still the same, cold, manipulative man he used to be. Telling me he had decided I must be in the possession of these pics, and ordering me to get into contact with him. Not a single question about me, or any mentioning of missing me etc.
2:27 am

2:28 am

nDan: they were very confronting for me. It was so clear to see where the trusting, powerful child turned into a scared and thoroughly unhappy girl. But yes, I am happy to have them. At least I know they will not end up in strange hands now.
2:28 am
jillibus

he states in his letter that he hopes I agree with him on the fact that the present and the future are more important than the past, and then orders me to contact him.
2:30 am
jillibus
nDan, that's not from the lower E
2:31 am
jillibus
orders you? No "please"?
2:31 am

2:31 am

showed the letter to my therapist. She said right away: did you count how many *you must*'s are in this letter?
2:31 am
nDanLia
sorry, missed other direction
2:31 am
sprite
no please. Not a single nice word.
2:32 am

Hello everyone!
2:33 am
jillibus
well, you and the therapist have got his number and I hope you can put it aside.
2:33 am
jillibus
hi again lynxxx
2:33 am
jillibus
hi acoom
2:34 am
sprite
so I wrote back to thank him for the pictures. I told him I do agree on the present and future being more important, but that I cannot afford the luxury of pretending the past has not happened. Since we live with the consequences of his abuse and the resulting damage on a daily basis. Also wrote that we have really tr5 to find an indication in his letter that something positive could result from new contact, and that we haven't been able to find any.
2:34 am
sprite
and that I therefore would only write this one letter.
2:34 am
jillibus
well, 35 left for tomorrow -- bed now for me.
2:35 am

Good for you, sprite.
2:35 am

nDan said that very well Sprite
2:36 am
sprite
checked with my husband and therapist if this was ok, and not too harsh, and they told me it was exactly the right thing to do. Felt that way too. Can't imagine how far I have come, I used to forgive everything and everyone and be open to new abuse right away. Now I am more careful. Still forgiving, but now I take care of me.
2:36 am

thanks nDan! And hi lyn, thanks :)

side note: looks like enable doesn't read harry potter. de6/24or is not valid.
2:44 am
icepyro
enamle came out before harry potter ;)
2:45 am
sprite
lol icepyro, yes indeed, and the version we use never updated. It does not even recognise internet!
2:45 am
icepyro
altho Ive read that word before then too
2:46 am
icepyro
the term internet was just catching on back then ;P
2:47 am
icepyro
if I remember correctly this version is the original version of enable and that I think came out like '96 '97ish if you really want to have an idea of its age
2:48 am
sprite
sounds about right, yes. And don't get me wrong, I don't want it to change. I would severely object to missing the babblets I have grown fond of!
2:49 am
icepyro
I think at that time internet would be counted as a proper noun and thus not be in the list
2:49 am
icepyro
actually it still counts as proper
2:50 am
sprite
but it is valid in most wordlists now
2:50 am
flosey
good morning sprite
2:50 am
sprite
morning flosey!
2:51 am
ajv74
I'm stuck with i3 words left.
2:51 am
flosey
I had gone to bed but couldn't sleep, so maybe I'll pick up my last 13 words
2:51 am
ajv74
Good morning all "just-comers" and congratulations all fireworkers!
2:51 am
sprite
from which i, ajv?
2:51 am
lynxxx
Hi Flosey & ajv
2:52 am
ajv74
And I miss 13 words...
2:52 am
flosey
hello ajv and lynxxx
2:52 am
ajv74
I have finished i's, though...
2:52 am
sprite
just told my babble family I got a letter from my father, out of the blue, flosey. If you want to know, please scroll back a bit.
2:53 am
sprite
oh, 13, lol. I read i3.
2:53 am
flosey
I did read a bit sprite, how long is it since you've had contact?
2:54 am
ajv74
I miss one a, two d's, four e's, two l's, two m's, one n and one t. I mistyped first 13 to i3, sprite.
2:54 am
sprite
he cut off all contact 12 years ago. Then refused to shake my hand and my husband's on the cremation of his father, 2 years later. That was the last contact.
2:54 am
sprite
ajv, yes, I understood after you typed 13. I am a bit slow in the uptake, sorry.
2:54 am
flosey
oh sprite, I cannot imagine
2:56 am
sprite
it is weird, isn't it... can you believe it took me many years of therapy to finally understand it IS weird? Always thought I was crazy and he was right.
2:57 am
flosey
oh dear sprite, how awful
2:58 am
flosey
hugs sprite
2:58 am
sprite
yes, it is. But it is good to see I have grown a bit, flosey. To know I am raising my inner terrified kid, so to speak, to become less frightened and a lot more secure.
2:58 am
ajv74
Does the ae9 have anything to do with concordes etc.?
2:59 am
sprite
thanks flosey :) Really appreciate the hug, I do need it :)
2:59 am
icepyro
ae9 is the study of the higher regions of the atmosphere
2:59 am
ajv74
I monkeyed the ae9!
3:00 am
ajv74
I have never heard that word before...
3:00 am
icepyro
The study of the upper atmosphere, especially of regions of ionized gas.
- straight from the dictionary
3:00 am
sprite
and is the 9 the person doing it?
3:02 am
sprite
ok, thanks, then I managed to wrap my mind around the concept, lol. It is not in the best state this morning.
3:03 am
icepyro
*kicks dictionary.com for being lazy with definitions*
3:03 am
icepyro
the concept, your mind, or your managing? ;)
3:04 am
sprite
my mind and my managing both :D
3:05 am
icepyro
what state would those be best in? Im in California myself, altho I dont recommend it for people who already have problems =D
3:06 am
sprite
I must be off. My son is officially done with elementary school today! Will start highschool after the summer holiday, and we want to mark this rite of transition with buying him a new ring.

Any changes I do seem to take a few days too Marmar
3:09 am
flosey
bye sprite, perhaps catch you later
3:10 am
icepyro
try refreshing the page... most browsers cache the pics so until it expires or refresh it shows old stuff
3:11 am
Marmar
Jilli had just talked about keeping up with the icon theme and she made such a good argument, I decided to try it. The theme that day was video games...so, I'm a little behind the times, what else is new?
3:12 am
icepyro
arg flosey your icon is gonna bug me... I know its a clue and its pretty, but Ive never seen anything like that before so not getting it lol

4:45 am
Atalante
I had a lovely dream that I was in Cape Town last night
4:45 am
Lorrie_in_SA
They're either all asleep all working verrry hard! :)
4:45 am
Lorrie_in_SA
Have you been to the Cape?
4:45 am
Atalante
yeah, a lot of my family live there and thereabouts
4:46 am
Lorrie_in_SA
When I first came out from the UK I lived in Camps Bay - my sister still does..
4:47 am
Atalante
oh lovely! my great-aunt and uncle used to live there too. Most of the family live in Durbanville and Stellenbosch now though
4:47 am
Atalante
and Tokai
4:48 am

Stellenbosch is lovely!

Good morning Katie, how's you?

Haz1558
Hello pink and Lorrie and Atalante and Katie and I'm going to stop this because I could just keep on typing names.
4:53 am
Lorrie_in_SA
Hi Katie...
4:53 am
KatieMcG
Good thanks pink, how about you and lil pink?
4:54 am
Atalante

4:54 am
pinkhatlil
lil pink is fine, im still nursing my hangover, but im happy!
4:55 am
KatieMcG
Lol, I have the day off, I'm waiting for a delivery but its lovely to turn the blackberry off!
4:55 am
Haz1558
Another from your stock of sayings, Atalante? I need to find some myself.
4:56 am
pinkhatlil
what is a blackberry, i've heard soooo many people speak of them
4:56 am
KatieMcG
It is a phone and you can pick up your emails on it. I was really pleased when I got one from work, it only took a couple of days to realise it was the modern version of a ball and chain!
4:57 am
Atalante
blackberries are hell LOL
4:57 am
KatieMcG
I now have no peace and train journeys are not the haven they used to be!!
4:57 am
pinkhatlil
lol, i guess it would feel like that
4:57 am
Haz1558
How many pages are in the instruction booklet?
4:57 am
nDanLia
calvin is right up there w/ Doonesbury; my fav is he & hobbes jazzin to recs played a 78rpm past midnight
4:58 am
Atalante
about 327
4:58 am
Haz1558
That's about the same as this week's OK. Part 2 of the Rooney wedding. The Reception.
4:59 am
KatieMcG
Lol Haz, there is not instruction booklet anymore it comes with a disk for you to download to your computer. Now in meetings when you try and fix the next date there is a mass turning on of gadgets
4:59 am
Atalante
please tell me you're joking?
4:59 am
KatieMcG
I bought OK last week for part 1 :-) I never usually buy it but I'm a softy at heart
4:59 am
Haz1558
I am not joking. Part 2 features the reception. Pictures on the front of Wayne singing with Westlife.
4:59 am
Atalante
oh ... my ...
5:00 am
Haz1558
Oh, a disc, Katie. What happens if you lose it? Or does that not happen in the world of blackberries?
5:00 am
Haz1558
Who knows. Maybe a future edition will feature a disc of Wayne singing with Westlife?
5:01 am
KatieMcG
Lol Haz, I've never read it so I won't miss it!!
5:02 am
Atalante
I'm sure you'll tell us when it does!
5:02 am
Haz1558
So is the blackberry reasonably easy to use? Should I be rushing out to get one?
5:02 am
KatieMcG
I've just given Mari the OK part I of the W&C wedding and she was really pleased with it, just goes to show how the apple never falls far from the tree
5:03 am
ardilla
hi all i'm back
5:03 am
pinkhatlil
Are Blackberries expensive?
5:03 am
Haz1558
What did you think of it? The wedding coverage, I mean.
5:03 am
Atalante
I had to teach husband how to use his
5:03 am
KatieMcG
The blackberry is good for work but I wouldn't have a personal one. I'm getting an iPhone when the new ones come out as the internet is much easier to use on it
5:03 am
Haz1558
Hello ardilla.
5:03 am
pinkhatlil
Hi Ardilla!
5:03 am
Haz1558
The bottom line is, can you babble on a blackberry?
5:03 am
ardilla
hi pink!!!
5:04 am
KatieMcG
On the wedding I was heartened about how few stars there were there, it looked like a lovely family wedding to me :-)
5:04 am
ardilla
hi haz!!!
5:04 am
Atalante
no lol. well you can bring up the site, but it loads sooooooo slowly
5:04 am
KatieMcG
No Haz but you can on an iPhone, so guess why I'm getting one :-)
5:04 am
Haz1558
But do you think OK was happy that there were so few stars there?
5:04 am
Atalante
I tried to play on top of a mountain in the Italian Alps with husband's blackberry
5:04 am
KatieMcG
Hi ardilla
5:04 am
Haz1558
We'll draw a gentle veil over Atalante's hilltop activities.
5:05 am
Atalante
play babble!!!
5:05 am
KatieMcG
They still got paid so I'm assuming they are big enough names on their own and it proves they didn't totally sell out.
5:05 am
Haz1558
When you say try, did it not work very well? Or did the altitude affect your word finding abilities?
5:05 am
KatieMcG
*tears in eyes over top of mountain exchange*
5:06 am
Atalante
the connection was too slow :( it kept managing to load half the page and that was it
5:06 am
Haz1558
Well, if they get 2 weeks editions out of the wedding, I'm assuming they'll tag along for the honeymoon. Then there's the opening of the presents, the placing of the furniture. I'd say we'll see Coleen and Wayne until Christmas.
5:07 am
Atalante
the altitude and the neat schnapps needed to keep from screaming while going down all the switchback roads to get down to the valley
5:07 am
KatieMcG
I'm not buying the reception one, you have to draw a line somewhere
5:07 am
Atalante
then "Colleen and Wayne's first Christmas"
5:07 am
Haz1558
So a raspberry to the blackberry as regards babble?
5:08 am
KatieMcG
I would have thought altitude and schnapps would help with babble :-)
5:08 am
Atalante
though the newer superblackberry things might do it
5:08 am
ardilla
i'm missing 2 i's i have ir4/5 ir4/4 ir6/18

Hello hillary.
5:09 am
Haz1558
Superblackberry? Defender of the fruit?
5:09 am
KatieMcG
We have a goal keeper in the Premiership with tourettes, I'm always waiting for him to go off at the ref and then blame his condition
5:09 am
ardilla

5:09 am
nDanLia
ir 5 10 is midway between the 4 & the 6 in more ways than one
5:09 am
Atalante
we do? who's that?
5:10 am
Haz1558
That goalkeeper is probably more controlled than half the players who lose it without excuse.
5:10 am
ardilla
watching deal or no deal
5:10 am
Haz1558
id4/16 - latin itself (I think)
5:11 am

5:15 am
Haz1558
Good news! I've got a Certificate from the Police to tell me that I don't have any convictions. I can make tea and coffee for RDA with a clear conscience.
5:15 am
Lorrie_in_SA
Many thanks all - see you tomorrow and have fun!
5:16 am
Haz1558
It's just arrived in the post. Should I frame it, do you think?
5:16 am
Atalante
LOL! why did you need that?
5:17 am
Atalante
does it include parking tickets though>
5:17 am
Haz1558
Thankfully not. No mention here of the parking ticket, I may just have got away with it.
5:18 am
Haz1558
It's all to do with requirements for anybody working with children/vulnerable adults to have a check to make sure they have no criminal convictions. All volunteers with charities etc will have to go through the process.
5:19 am
Haz1558
This particular one was done because I volunteer with a school based business programme, but it will cover me for RDA as well.
5:19 am
Haz1558
It's quite pretty - the certificate, I mean. It'll have to be done in three years time again in case I've offended since.
5:20 am
Atalante
better be good then!
5:20 am
nDanLia
it's a cost nightmare for charities/churches here - $5/volunteer [e.g. our church has 4,000 members (univ parish) & constantly changing]
5:20 am
Atalante
no more streaking through the streets at midnight
5:21 am
nDanLia
well, she still can, just not be caught anymore
5:21 am
Haz1558
I thought the CCTV cameras were turned off!
5:21 am
Atalante
but they might not be next time!!
5:21 am
Haz1558
The cost here is something like £35 ($70) per volunteer, although there are ways of making the cost less.
5:23 am
Haz1558
I can see the point where people are employed directly to work with children etc, but it seems that you only have to be in the presence of a child to warrant a police check. What sort of message does that send out to a child? Never trust any adult?
5:23 am
Atalante
so much of it is insurance value in case
5:23 am
nDanLia
many parents volunteer @ schools; scouts, univ students work tutoring, big brother/sister...
5:24 am
Haz1558
Husband used to give a lift to foster-chld next door (she was the same age as our younger daughter) and he was requested to undergo a police check.
5:25 am
Atalante
urf! that really is silly
5:25 am
Haz1558
What galled me was that the child was placed in foster care because she had come from a family where the mother had abandoned her numerous children and the father hadn't coped. Yet the mother was able to demand that other people be checked out.
5:26 am
ardilla
wb sprite
5:27 am
Atalante
that really is very silly
5:27 am

Hello sprite.

Salient is the adjective, meaning prominent or conspicuous. Presumably salience is the noun.
5:44 am
Haz1558
But could he not just have said 'We're going to bring those issues to the forefront'?
5:44 am
Atalante
how interesting! yes, why couldn't he? Using salience seems a very convoluted way of saying it
5:45 am

is he a politician?

thanks nDan, have written it down!
5:45 am

then that is why, Ata :)

It's politician speak, I think.
5:46 am
Atalante
its just silly. if it makes great babble people run to the dictionary ...
5:46 am
nDanLia
why plain-speak when you can confound
5:47 am
Haz1558
I suppose if they plain speak, they run the risk of people understanding them and disagreeing.

Sir Humphrey: If there had been investigations, which there haven't, or not necessarily, or I'm not at to say whether there have, there would have been a project team which, had it existed, on which I cannot comment, would now have been disbanded, if it had existed, and the members returned to their original departments, if indeed there had been any such members.

Sir Humphrey - sorry, just had to include this:
Well, it's clear that the committee has agreed that your new policy is a really excellent plan but in view of some of the doubts being expressed, may I propose that I recall that after careful consideration, the considered view of the committee was that while they considered that the proposal met with broad approval in principle, that some of the principles were sufficiently fundamental in principle and some of the considerations so complex and finely balanced in practice, that, in principle, it was proposed that the sensible and prudent practice would be to submit the proposal for more detailed consideration, laying stress on the essential continuity of the new proposal with existing principles, and the principle of the principle arguments which the proposal proposes and propounds for their approval, in principle.
6:12 am

The brilliance of the writing and acting in Yes Minister was that someone like Nigel Hawthorne could deliver that sentence and make it comprehensible and funny.
6:18 am

It was a brillliant programme. I loved the office, but at times it was really uncomfortable viewing as it was so close to home, you could name the people in the office to fit the characters
6:18 am
carleekat
i didn't like the office... it was on....when it came on... it was turned off
6:18 am

I think that is part of what made it brilliant, but I can understand it being too close to home if you work there!

8:33 am
BzznBea
Uni, do you take in strays?
8:33 am
Anniebrook
dorens, that is very kind of you..my email address is in my profile
8:33 am
Haz1558
Good afternoon all. Une - pax vobiscum. I read the chat log the other evening.
8:33 am
Scarlet
Annie, I think Omar Minaya is scared for his job and that he is making some very questionable decisions right now... but, Willie Randolph had to go. He's a great guy, but you need to have a castiron girdle to handle all those players under the media glare.
8:34 am
Uneaixoise
hey, bea--i've adopted three rescue dogs over the last few years--and they're wonderful girls!!
8:34 am
BzznBea
We have three rescues too. All are boxers.
8:34 am
Uneaixoise
haz, actually I started to use that as a clue but figured it wouldn't be too helpful!!
8:34 am
Dorens
so, have we figured out kris's clue yet (still on my first cup of coffee)
8:34 am
Uneaixoise
bea, that's wonderful!
8:34 am
BzznBea
We were a foster home for Boxer Rescue back home.
8:35 am
Uniquity
Perhaps Paxil...
8:35 am
Scarlet
Good day, Haz! So good to see you again!
8:35 am
Haz1558
Possibly not! It was a classic piece of chat.
8:35 am
Scarlet
Uni-clue! :-)
8:35 am
Uneaixoise
well, two of mine started out as fosters . . . LOL
8:35 am
Haz1558
Hello Scarlet - and good to see you as well!
8:35 am
KrisE
I think I should pick something less controversial. I'm trying to figure out Bea's and Dorens' clue
8:35 am
Anniebrook
Scarlet, I agree about Willie Randolph and Omar Minaya. They need Lou Pinella to handle this Met team but he is elsewhere, alas.
8:35 am
BzznBea
We had 20 foster dogs through the six years we fostered.
8:35 am
BzznBea
I know. We kept two of ours as well.
8:35 am
Uneaixoise
wow, impressive, bea!!
8:36 am
Dorens
kris... look at the top of bea's clue
8:36 am
Scarlet
Lou is doing a bang-up job with the Cubbies, Annie... and this year they'd better not have such a season-ending meltdown!
8:36 am
Scarlet
Kris... I think Bzz'
8:37 am
Scarlet
s clue is northeastsouthwest
8:37 am
KrisE
Ah - thanks!

8:38 am
Scarlet
Which tantrum, harp? LOL
8:38 am
BzznBea
My icon clue is a bit "buried".
8:38 am
Scarlet
Who is everyone pulling for: Germany or Espana?
8:38 am
harpjane
the one in seattle where he threw the bases around
8:39 am
Scarlet
Yea for Bzzzz!!
8:39 am
Scarlet
He is the master of gran mal fits, harp! LOL
8:39 am
Dorens

EvaNadine

8:41 am
Dorens
oh, that's better jane! i rushed through yesterday's and didn't pay attention to icons or themes.
8:41 am
Scarlet
Yes, it is now, Eva. The tale is in my bio.
8:41 am
BzznBea
Ursh, what a cute picture of you grandkids.
8:41 am
lexleeanne
scarlet!! My daughter is coming back from camp from your area today - how was the weather this week?
8:41 am
BzznBea
I love grandkid pictures.
8:42 am
Scarlet
Hi, Ursh@!! Fabulous, lex... so comfortable. Hot but livable!
8:42 am
Haz1558
Scarlet - we're all well. I've just changed Spangle to make way for a new icon to clue a word.
8:42 am
KrisE
I went off to understand Scarlet's clue icon (still working on that) and missed a whole bunch! Hi all
8:43 am
EvaNadine
i also dont have scarlets clue yet :)
8:43 am
Dorens
kris i'm still baffled by yours!
8:43 am
Haz1558
I must look at Scarlet's clue.
8:43 am
Uneaixoise

8:43 am
lexleeanne

8:44 am
lexleeanne
I can't get it Kris
8:44 am
Uniquity
Haz, I don't know when you changed your prophile, but it's wonderful!
8:44 am
Dorens
i got scarlet's-- somewhere back in the recesses of my mind is a memory of biological terms i once learned
8:44 am
Scarlet
Haz, I love your cautionaries for clueing! LOL
8:44 am
Uniquity
LOL. Prophile. Geez. ProFile.
8:44 am
Haz1558
I changed it a week or so ago. I was driven to it.
8:44 am
KrisE
Lovely clue, Haz! Thanks!
8:45 am
Scarlet
is timely, but will not "stick" to those who need them most, Haz... LOL
8:45 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, Kris. I've no doubt that Atalante would illustrate it with the sea varieties.
8:46 am
Haz1558
That's the trouble, Scarlet. Those who read and approve are already converted.
8:46 am
Dorens
haz, i agree with scarlet. but that poem should be posted somewhere permanently... at least in babbler's anonymous
8:46 am
BzznBea
Got haz's clue. TY.
8:46 am
Haz1558
Can you post anonymously in Babblers Anonymous?
8:46 am
Scarlet
Yes, Do... I think so too... maybe Haz can talk to Dr_G about new tee-shirts with her rules?
8:46 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, Bzzn.
8:47 am
DR1965
Not really here but was reading scarlet's profile.. So glad beloved is doing ok... such a scary thing. I agreethe poem should be a permanent part of Babble somewhere.
8:47 am
Haz1558
Oh Scarlet, you'll get me into trouble. Some people think I'm too caught up with rules.
8:48 am
Dorens
some of the people who need it have been here longer than I have; don't know if you can convert them but has anyone ever actually tried (other than haz?)
8:48 am
Haz1558
I've just spotted that I haven't used an adverb where an adverb is needed! Repair necessary!
8:48 am
Dorens
how about lickety? some stuff is posted on his clue page, right?
8:49 am
Uniquity
There have been incidents. Ought we leave it at that? *Cheery face*
8:49 am
Dorens
oh yes, in the last line, but I wasn't going to tell you that haz!
8:49 am
Haz1558
You should have, Dorens! It's done now.
8:50 am
Scarlet
Hi, DR, and thank you for your good thoughts!~
8:50 am
EvaNadine

8:50 am
DR1965
YVW Scarlet-
8:51 am
Scarlet
Haz, "too caught up in rules?" When, exactly, did that become a personality flaw?
8:51 am
Lance Rx
the e sounds like the first 3 notes of the musical scale, backwards
8:51 am
Haz1558
Two each of un and ur words. One un6 the others are four letters.
8:51 am
Anniebrook
Haz, Your poem is a classic. It should be posted in BA and read aloud every morining.
8:52 am
Scarlet
Annie, how are you Bobby doing lately?
8:52 am
KrisE
lovely clue, lance!
8:52 am
EvaNadine
my nephews middle name!
i ALWAYS miss it as a babbler word!
8:52 am
Haz1558
Scarlet, I've been harangued for being obsessed with rules and for being a humourless so and so. I'm hoping it's not an opinion shared by too many.
8:53 am
Anniebrook
Scarlet, We are well. I am very happy that Rhett is doing weill.
8:53 am
Scarlet
I never would have imagined that "critique" from others... not if I live to antiquity, Haz.
8:53 am
Scarlet
Annie, the story is in my bio. He is doing very well now, thank you.
8:53 am
EvaNadine
when i think haz, i think totally humorless.

9:06 am

Scarlet, charity runs? I'm afraid the only running I do is to get to the pub before last orders. Only wish I was prone to running..very good for me.
9:06 am
Scarlet
Is that sonic boom coming from Sark?
9:07 am
Haz1558
LizSark does the charity runs, Lizmac lives in Stranraer in Scotland. She's a groupie.

Une... you are a gardener... can I transplant my insanely-growing cantaloupe plants to another area without hurting them? I'll dig the roots carefully, but the things are taking over the flower gardens!~\
9:27 am
bichon
Scarlet, lots of people misspell Bichon [usually Bijon]
9:28 am
Uneaixoise
i'm a gardener but only "do" flowers--don't know a thing about cantaloupe plants (yummy!)
9:28 am
bichon
Scarlet, I garden a lot, but mostly flowers. I don't like to move anything once it's taken off

9:31 am
Uneaixoise
*not why but WHEN
9:31 am
Atalante
scarletta!!
9:31 am
magzel
if the p[lants are small you can move them but if they have long runners or are in bloom don't, it will kill them
9:31 am
Scarlet
WHAT? Une... Peonies are the sweetest-smelling flowers this side of heritage roses!
9:31 am
harpjane
got it, thanks!
9:31 am
magzel
an7 please
9:32 am
Dorens
magz, we're on the subject of flowers
9:32 am
Scarlet
Okay, magzel... they are not flowering yet, and for some reason ( I won't question the cosmos), the groundhogs have stayed away!
9:32 am
bichon
I thought you can
9:32 am
Uneaixoise
I LOVE peonies--have tons--and my mom's are gorgeous and OLD and well established--believe me, he got the message! LOL
9:32 am
Dorens
(sorry mag, that was a clue for the an7)
9:32 am
Atalante
peonies are just the best
9:33 am
Scarlet
I love them... but so do the black ants.
9:33 am
Uneaixoise
I agree, Ata--and it's such fun to share them in the spring!
9:33 am
bichon
I thought you could never dig up peonies and expect them to grow again
9:33 am
Uneaixoise
bichon, it's a very bad idea, ESP. in the middle of extreme heat and drought!
9:34 am
Scarlet
We thought that too, bichon... the same with the Sultan Lilies or Tigers... but they thrived.
9:34 am
Uneaixoise
and FYI the ONE I dug up years ago has never bloomed again . . . just foliage
9:34 am
bichon
I have two kinds, red and white. The white smell beautiful and the red is rather off-putting
9:34 am
Haz1558
an7 <-------------.
9:34 am
Dorens
i love watching them come up.. those big fat buds crawling with ants
9:34 am
Scarlet
The whites are the best!
9:34 am
bichon
Do you nip off the side buds to get bigger blooms?
9:34 am
Scarlet
Peonies, lilacs (purples, not whites) lilies of the valley and heritage roses... heaven!
9:35 am

9:41 am
Scarlet
Oh, I love the terra-cotta and orange shades, Do.
9:41 am
Haz1558
Geranium leaves have a peculiar smell, don't they?
9:41 am
Scarlet
Exactly why I'm not in love with them, Haz.
9:41 am
Haz1558
I thought so!
9:42 am
Scarlet
You are so sleuthy, Haz.

:( back - had to update my icon
9:42 am
Haz1558
I've got my Sherlock hat on. I draw the line at the pipe.
9:43 am
bichon
I've update to an Exbury
9:43 am
CadFan
I'm with you - not a fan of the scent of geraniums... nor of the flowers themselves actually
9:43 am
magzel
de8 please
9:43 am
Scarlet
The three I have are pink variegated with stripes on the petals, the standard orangey coral color and the magenta... they certainly look lovely in their large pots, but it is the petunias which sweep me away every morning and evening when they releast their scent.
9:43 am
Scarlet
*release*
9:44 am
Haz1558
de8 - to the devilish de5/14 add Mr Fleming's name.
9:44 am
Haz1558
Petunia fragrance is wonderful, I agree. And we have honeysuckle at the back, the evening scent is beautiful.
9:44 am
Scarlet
Thank you again, Haz.
9:45 am
Haz1558
You're welcome, Scarlet.
9:45 am
Scarlet
Beloved truly enjoys the honeysuckle and I am the petunia lover.
9:45 am
bichon
I have petunias, but I've never notice a fragrance
9:45 am
magzel
thank you haz
9:45 am
Atalante
I like jasmine, and stock
9:45 am
Haz1558
I love the buzz of the bees round the honeysuckle. Not today, though, it's a bit drippy for them to be about.
9:46 am
Haz1558
bichon, the dark purple ones are especially fragrant.
9:46 am
Haz1558
And freesias, don't forget freesias for fragrance.
9:46 am
bichon
I'll havee to go home later and stick my nose in my purple petunias. Hopefully there won't be any bees in them
9:46 am
Atalante
ohhhh yes
9:47 am
Haz1558
Yes, better to bee safe, bichon!
9:47 am
bichon
I tried growing Freesias, but never had any luck.
9:47 am
Scarlet
We have a wild wisteria every spring... and it is almost too sweet... it lasts for about three weeks and it was lovely to see with the screaming of cicaidas in the background.
9:47 am
Atalante
why doesn't anyone have stock in their garden anymore?
9:48 am
Haz1558
Because they all have decking and water features instead.
9:48 am
bichon
What is stock?
9:48 am
Scarlet
Bichon, Haz is right... the dark purple petunias are the most "clove-cinnamon-smelling" ones in the family... and you have to smell them at sunrise or after sunset... they don't release when the sun is high,.
9:49 am
Atalante
stock is a nice smelly plant that flowers in the evening *finds pic*
9:49 am
Scarlet
Leomn balm is a nice butterfly attractant.
9:50 am
CadFan
We have tons of lilacs around our place - they smell heavenly!
9:50 am
Atalante
is this: http://tinyurl.com/4azk35
9:50 am
Atalante
its so wonderful in the evening, the scent wafts everywhere
9:50 am
Haz1558
Matthiola is the proper name, Maybe that's what it's known as in the States?
9:50 am
bichon
I don't really see stock in the garden shops here. Must be a specialty
9:51 am
Atalante
oh ty haz! I haven't seen in anywhere here for years. I miss it
9:51 am
Haz1558
Old fashioned carnations used to have a wonderful clove smell as well.
9:51 am
Atalante
maybe I can try and grow some next year
9:52 am
Scarlet
Yes, Haz! They seem (at least the florist's brands) to have had the fragrance bred out of them lately.
9:52 am
CadFan
Too cold here (Colorado) for stock.
9:52 am
Scarlet
Oh, Cad... I love lilacs.
9:52 am
Haz1558
And sweet pea and roses as well - variety dependent of course.
9:53 am
CadFan
We have purple and white lilacs, HUGE bushes (practically trees!)
9:53 am
Haz1558
This is a bit like talking about food - although instead of mouth watering, my nose is twitching.
9:53 am
Atalante
sweet peas are just gorgeous
9:54 am
Haz1558
I know - colour and scent and delicacy of bloom. They defy being mixed with anything else, they stand alone.
9:54 am
Scarlet
Oh, Ata... that plant is beautiful!
9:54 am
Scarlet
And, they cannot be duplicated by perfumery experts!
9:55 am
Haz1558
Perfume can give a hint of a flower, but that's about it.
9:56 am
Scarlet
Right... there's nothing to compare to fresh herbs and certain flowers... my basil is going crazy this year... about 11 inches tall and huge.
9:56 am
Haz1558
I hope you have tomatoes to go with that basil?
9:56 am
Atalante
freesia shouldn't be put into perfume, its always disappointing
9:57 am
Scarlet
The lemon oregano and Italian oregano are also huge! Yes, Haz... Romas with some fresh mozzarella on the side with a splash of garlic (sorry, Haz) virgin olive oil! Heaven!
9:57 am
Haz1558
Yes, because freesia is peppery and sweet at the same time.
9:58 am
Scarlet
Now, from flowers to food! Inevitable!
9:58 am
Haz1558
My local oil and vinegar shop has just started to stock strawberry balsamic vinegar. It's gorgeous!
9:58 am
CadFan
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
9:58 am
Atalante
strawberry balsamic? blissful! and have you dipped strawberries into it?
9:58 am
Haz1558
It only took a few samples for me in the shop to decide to buy it....
9:59 am
Scarlet
Daughter introduced me to a raspberry-balsamic vinaigrette and it is superior to anything I can craft in my kitchen!
9:59 am
CadFan
Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar?/ Sounds wonderful! Wish I could get it here!!
9:59 am
Haz1558
I have indeed. Just let them soak for a while and it's gorgeous.
9:59 am
Scarlet
LOL, Haz.
9:59 am
CadFan
phantom today.. trident
9:59 am
Atalante
mmmmmm yes. there's something wonderful about strawberries and balsamic
10:00 am
Haz1558
Scarlet, this shop is wonderful. Lemon infused olive oil combined with raspberry balsam vinegar makes the loveliest salad dressing.
10:00 am
Atalante
thats absolutely all you need for a salad dressing
10:00 am
Scarlet
Annie's Naturals produces the organic vinaigrettes.... www.AnniesNaturals.com
10:01 am
Haz1558
And now, just as I was getting into my stride as worldwide representative for Oil and Vinegar, daughter has requested the use of the computer.
10:01 am
Scarlet
Ohhhh Haz... anything with lemon or lime catches my attention!
10:01 am
Scarlet
Later, Haz. So nice to see you again.
10:01 am
Haz1558
So, being a good, kind mother, I will move over and let her on. We'll chat again!
10:01 am
Atalante
tell her to get her own :P
10:01 am
Scarlet
LOL, Ata... always the pragmatic one!
10:02 am
Haz1558
She has her own laptop, but apparently there's something on this one that she needs.......
10:02 am
Atalante
she's just trying tocure you of babble addiction!
10:02 am
Haz1558
Bye for now! (Besides, Spangletina would like a walk)
10:03 am
Haz1558
They've tr5/12, they've tr5/12! Byeee!
10:03 am
CadFan
I've seen Annies stuff at Whole Foods
10:03 am
Atalante
looool bye!
10:03 am
Scarlet
Right, Cad... we have it at Earth Fare...
10:04 am
CadFan
but no strawberry blasamic
10:04 am
Dorens
but a lot of annie's dressings seem to have sugar added, and i don't care for that. are there some without?
10:04 am
CadFan
or even balsamic
10:06 am
Scarlet
I don't know, Do... I don't look at that ingredient... what I don't know can't affect me! ;)
10:07 am
Scarlet
The latest one I've tried is roasted garlic vinaigrette... very good with a splash of sherry vinegar.
10:07 am
Atalante
mmmmm garlic anything is good!
10:07 am
Scarlet
Or fresh lime juice...
10:08 am
Dorens
i just don't like too much sweetness in my salads, persnickety that way. few bottled dressings work for me. Newman's own once had a divine lime/dijoon which I adored, of course they discontinued it
10:08 am
Scarlet
Right, Ata@!
10:08 am
Scarlet
When my budget allows, I buy the Newman's Own products. He is so good about his charities.
10:09 am
Atalante
I don't normally put dressings on home-made salads, I just like the taste of the salad. But I loooove honey mustard dressings when I come over to the US
10:09 am
Scarlet
I'm the same way, Dorens... that's why I add more vinegar or citrus (not orange) to the dressing.
10:09 am
Dorens
write them and beg them to bring back the parisien lime dijon scarlet. i promise you'd love it
10:09 am
Scarlet
I make a balsamic/dijon dressing at home.
10:09 am
Scarlet
Ohhhh, Dorens... more heaven!
10:12 am
Atalante
I worked in Italy for a while during my PhD and learned there that a salad needed nothing more than oil, balsamic, salt and pepper. Good oil and good balsamic. and I really liked that philosophy
10:12 am
Scarlet
That is perfect for me, Ata.
10:13 am
Atalante
yep! it just works
10:13 am
Atalante
I didn't realise it at the time, but I really learnt a lot about food while over there
10:13 am
Scarlet
I use a good balsamic to incorporate into a rich reduction for steaks... the vinegar, the butter, worchestershire, ketchup and dijon added to the juices in the pan when searing the steaks before putting them on the grill.
10:14 am
Atalante
oh how yummy!
10:14 am
Scarlet
And a 1/4 cup of red wine...
10:14 am
Atalante
worcestershire sauce. thats another very good thing!
10:14 am
Scarlet
It is one of womankind's best ingredients in the kitchen!
10:15 am
Atalante
absolutely!
10:16 am
Scarlet
I use it for nearly every marinade I put together in the kitchen... add the meats and pop into a zip-lok bag for two days and you have juicy, tasty, garlic-laden flavor that is not overwhelming.

Yes, it has, flosey. All is well now. It's in my bio.
10:17 am
flosey
have been watching the chat for a couple minutes - interesting, have never tried strawberries in vinegar, only raspberries which I love
10:18 am
Atalante
you should definitely try strawberries :)
10:18 am
flosey
no time like the present, our local ones are just coming in
10:18 am
Scarlet
There is a local chef who uses mashed strawberries in his root vegetable creations...with garlic potatoes, rutabagas... name it.
10:19 am
Atalante
oh really? that sounds interesting
10:19 am
flosey
wow, that sure is quite a twist
10:20 am
Scarlet
He steams them and strains them through a fine-mesh device and then puts them in the food... and makes a strawberry/balsamic reduction for asparagus spears...
10:20 am
Scarlet
Garlic-laden of course.
10:20 am
Dorens
boneless chicken breasts marinated in balsamic vinegar, heaps of freshly presssed garlic, a bit of olive oil, s, p and whatever herbs you like (worcestshire sauce too if you like). bake, broil or grill. my mainstay
10:21 am

10:25 am
Scarlet

10:25 am
Atalante

12:32 pm

12:36 pm
Madi95
*sticks head in dictionary*
12:36 pm
hurshy
i'm not judging - well ok, i'm judging, but i'm making a positive judgment of you. i figured that you were the type of person who, if it were not a typo, would be interested enough in learning to want to be corrected. that's a good thing in my book!
12:37 pm
Madi95
fine, fine. (hehe)
12:37 pm
Dorens
ok so maddi, what sort of privileges can you think of that would be useful for me?
12:38 pm
Madi95
do your kids get rewards for attendance?
12:38 pm
Madi95
bye bye peri
12:38 pm
Dorens
yes but it is just a piece of paper given out at the awards assembly
12:39 pm
Atalante
I'm not being funny here - but if you're meant to attend school, why get a reward for it?
12:39 pm
hurshy
it's darwinian
12:39 pm
hurshy
you reward the kids who never get sick
12:40 pm
Atalante
loooool that makes sense :P
12:40 pm
Dorens
i kind of agree with that.... and i hate handing out awards to kids who come to school sick anyway, just to get that award
12:40 pm
Madi95
at our school, it makes kids want to come to school more ( not the sick ones)
12:41 pm
Atalante
eww yes, you dont want a school full of germ carriers!
12:41 pm
Dorens
i prefer awards for scholarship, character, citizenship etc
12:41 pm
hurshy
the best reward you can give the trustworthy kids is to trust them. untrustworthy kids... probably shouldn't be rewarded.
12:41 pm
Dorens
but what do they get madi? more than a paper certificate?
12:41 pm
Madi95
there are tons of kids in higher grades who skip school
12:42 pm
Dorens
it's the sitting on the fence kids i would like to reach tho, hursh.... kids who need to realize the importance of character,.. who could go either way
12:42 pm
Dorens
12, 13 year olds often make the decision that it isn't cool to be nice
12:42 pm
Madi95
well, our middle school principal gave out 2 airplane rides around the city. he said he only paid 20 dollars per ticket
12:43 pm
hurshy
so set up a system where kids can report a random act of kindness that someone did for them - they fill out a form saying what the person did and give the nice kid a lollipop
12:43 pm
Dorens
now That's a reward!
12:43 pm
Atalante
we used to have a day / afternoon of school each term where we could decide what we wanted to learn. anything we all agreed on. but only if we'd all been good
12:44 pm
wvteach
part of it is also NCLB which requires a specific percentage of attendance in order not to be on probation - and to show increase each year
12:44 pm
Dorens
hursh, believe it or not we aren't allowed to give out lollipops, or any candy. i like that idea ata
12:44 pm
Dorens
nclb needs to be left behind
12:44 pm
hurshy
well if you can't give out candy... what about coupons to popular stores or something?
12:44 pm
Madi95
tickets to sports events, in class pizza parties, gift cards, free admissions to golf, rock climbing, lazer tap, just about anything.
12:45 pm
Madi95
and most schools here get a huge discount
12:45 pm
SarielXavier
to 5, 12?
12:45 pm
wvteach
yes, i agree = it has brought many inappropriate ideas with it
12:45 pm
Dorens
we actually had a school carnival for the 8th graders... they earned tickets by doing good things.. and it was very successful... of course the apple polishers made out like bandits, but it was cool anyway

Haz1558
Yes, if you have a radio on in a workplace, like in a cafe or a garage, you're supposed to pay for a Broadcasting Licence or something so that royalties can be paid to the artists.

1:20 pm

well in earshot of customers/guests I can see not having the radio on except low volume elevator music to make them slow down and look longer
1:20 pm
AnnieOakley
recorded
1:20 pm
Haz1558
By contrast, girls' fashion shops blast you with loud music. I used to end up hanging around outside the shop until daughters had finished trying on.

I'll warn you, Annie, the only things I have recorded are from a few years ago, and lyrics I was writing back then are pretty sappy
1:30 pm
AnnieOakley
I like the Pizza Express there and ASK in Canterbury
1:30 pm
icepyro
good food is always calorie-laden... calories tastes good apparently
1:30 pm
SeanS
I've been wanting to record again lately, but I need a new computer
1:31 pm
AnnieOakley
Don't worry Sean - I am sure I'll enjoy it - I just like music
1:31 pm
Atalante
I like Wagamama and the little Moroccan restaurant that I can't remember what its called LOL
1:31 pm
Atalante
couscous is good for you, right?
1:31 pm
AnnieOakley
true again ice!!
1:31 pm
Atalante
Cafe Mauresque
1:31 pm
AnnieOakley
I don't know Wagamama - where is it?
1:32 pm
icepyro
well couscous only has one ingredient so i guess I can consent that it cant be that bad
1:32 pm
Atalante
do you know where Lakeland is?
1:32 pm
AnnieOakley
there are some lovely bistros in Canterbury
1:32 pm
AnnieOakley
yes Ata
1:32 pm
Atalante

AnnieOakley

Lindrickway

SeanS
Work's busy today, Annie. I haven't been able to get much of the grid done.
1:35 pm
icepyro
wow - www.wagamama.com complete with locater for maps and stuff about the food
1:35 pm
Atalante

AnnieOakley
one poor patient was upset by her medical records and they had to be destroyed (unusual to be able to do it)
1:37 pm
Atalante
wow, she must have been really upset!
1:37 pm
SeanS
strange, why'd they have to be destroyed?
1:38 pm
AnnieOakley
really, really upset poor lady
1:38 pm
icepyro
snack time bbias
1:38 pm
AnnieOakley
there was quite private stuff on her records and she did not like it - she was rally distraught
1:38 pm
AnnieOakley
see you ice
1:39 pm
AnnieOakley
*really
1:39 pm
Lindrickway
later ice
1:39 pm
SeanS
ah. I get people like that. I had someone cancel their policy not too long ago because he thought we were invading his privacy
1:39 pm
Atalante
wow. and she was upset that someone else might see that?
1:40 pm
AnnieOakley
then i had to arrange transport for another patient who couldn't get home and she was part way down the road when she asked the driver to take her back to hospital and then she drove home herself
1:40 pm
AnnieOakley
what was really sad was she thought that what was in the notes would be seen by people outside the hospital
1:41 pm
AnnieOakley
have you any strange cases this week sean?
1:41 pm
SeanS
this week has actually been pretty normal, actually
1:41 pm
SeanS
which is nice
1:42 pm
SeanS
i am so brain dead today
1:42 pm
AnnieOakley
Phew! I had a training day yesterday on coaching and mentoring and it was very good
1:42 pm
AnnieOakley
ha ha sean - i feel like that every day lol
1:43 pm
Atalante
annie, do you know a lot about patient confidentiality issues and that type of stuff?
1:43 pm
AnnieOakley
yes Ata
1:44 pm
Atalante
may I ask a question?
1:44 pm
AnnieOakley
of course
1:45 pm
Atalante
how does patient confidentiality work when you have a grandmother who is forgetful enough to remember anything a doctor has told them in a meeting? How would my mum and I find out about her results / what the doctors have been telling her?
1:47 pm
AnnieOakley
this is a really tricky one Ata...the pt has total confidentiality, but there are times when things aren't recalled. Would the grandmother seem forgetful when the Dr sees her?
1:47 pm
movieman
mo7/32 plz
1:47 pm
AnnieOakley
sorry MM - I'm too slow on the rid today
1:47 pm
AnnieOakley
*grid
1:48 pm
Atalante
yes, hopefully! she just had a meeting today to talk about the results of a CAT scan, and by the time mum phoned her an hour or so ago, she'd completely forgotten that she'd even seen the dr!
1:48 pm
icepyro
mo7 - m + number + went fast
1:48 pm
Lindrickway
Ata could you not reschedule an appointment and go along with your grandma?
1:48 pm
AnnieOakley
oh dear, that is a worry. Would her GP know she's forgetful?
1:48 pm
Atalante
I really don't want to not know how I can help her the best, and knowing what's wrong with her is kinda important!
1:49 pm
AnnieOakley
Very important.
1:49 pm
AnnieOakley
These are the options...
1:49 pm
Atalante
well this is her first appt with the mental health people to assess her forgetfulness, so I'm hoping that that can be established officially now
1:49 pm
AnnieOakley
Actually that heps Ata...
1:50 pm
Atalante
Lindy, I do go along when I can, but she lives a few hours away and sometimes doesn't tell me about the appointments until its too late for me to get down there!
1:50 pm
AnnieOakley
Your grandmother can give permission for you to have access to her records or
1:50 pm
Lindrickway
aaahhh that could make it very difficult!
1:51 pm
Atalante
oh good ... if its established that she won't remember much, will the drs be able to - oh, wonderful! really? if she can do that, that would be wonderful
1:51 pm
Atalante
I don't want to put any of the doctors in an awkward position, but I do need to know these things!
1:51 pm
AnnieOakley
once she is classed as having a problem an agreement can be set up that you or your mum can be informed
1:52 pm
Atalante
oh thats fab. TY. I've been worrying about that a lot
1:52 pm
AnnieOakley
without permission, it's very difficult...if your grandmother can agree this before she deteriorates it would be easiest
1:53 pm
AnnieOakley
usually the docs will only liaise with 1 family member - usually next of kin but whoever your grandmother noinates
1:53 pm
Atalante
I'm sure she'll agree, I'm already making her hospital and dr appointments and stuff for her, so its a natural step
1:54 pm
Atalante
oh thank you. I was assuming something like that was possible, but I didn't know for sure
1:54 pm
AnnieOakley
At the hospitals I work, we've sometimes set up that all correspondence goes to another family member - that then includes appointments, letters about what treatment is due etc
1:54 pm
CATHB
We had a similar problem with my mother in law...she was back and for various clinics etc and did not remember much of what was said..My husband attended seceral doctors appointment with her and he then registered with the doctors as her carer in order that he could discuss treatment etc
1:55 pm
AnnieOakley
best to set up with local hospitls, GP, mental health services
1:55 pm
CATHB
oops cant spell either
1:55 pm
AnnieOakley
*hospitals - i can't spell either!!
1:56 pm
AnnieOakley
like the icon Cath
1:56 pm
Atalante
I think all the hospitals in West Sussex are starting to recognise my name now! I've spent so much time ion the phone to them!
1:57 pm
AnnieOakley
I hope you're in touch with the PALS service at the hospitals! I know some of them
1:57 pm
CATHB
thanks :) have to have a welsh dragon
1:57 pm
Atalante
that's a good idea, Cath!
1:57 pm

blooming doctors! apparently the dr said to her "you have early alzheimers" just like that! poor gran!
2:22 pm
AnnieOakley
hi vic
2:22 pm
AnnieOakley
oh gosh ice, that's sad
2:22 pm
Atalante
oh definitely, she has tablets of some description and at least we know what's going on
2:23 pm
Lindrickway
aaww that is sad ice
2:23 pm
Atalante
awww thats so sad, ice :(
2:23 pm
icepyro
well theers really no way to sugarcoat that kinda thing
2:23 pm
AnnieOakley
i think some docs can't put themselves in others' shoes
2:23 pm
Atalante
I know, but still!
2:24 pm
Lindrickway
***F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S***

WOOHOO! LIND!

wahooooooooooooooo Lindy!

is british medicine more open to ideas than american? I mean there was that whole stem cell research thing a few years back that really pisses me off
2:25 pm
Vicuna
Yay for Lindrickway!
2:25 pm
Atalante
not really ...
2:25 pm
Lindrickway
thanks guys
2:26 pm
AnnieOakley
i'm not sure ice...not sure what your's is like compared to our's
2:26 pm
kje
at the risk of sounding callous - though each situation varies, it is generally felt best to be compassionately open and honest with the patient and their family (I don't have this discussion without family around if there is any alive) - 1st, because they generally already know there is a problem with their memory, second, it enables them to start to focus on what should be done from here and to make the needed plans for what lies ahead
2:26 pm
AnnieOakley
why does it piss you off ice? they they want or don't want to do it?
2:27 pm
AnnieOakley
i think you're right kje - the compassion bit is SO important
2:27 pm
kje
it would have been better if they had called you in ata so you would know how to help her
2:28 pm
sharons
tr8.45 anyone
2:28 pm
Atalante
I agree, kje. But none of her family were there, and she is forgetful enough to not realise she was even forgetful. She didn't even know what she had the CAT scan for
2:28 pm
Lindrickway
tr 8 - more of the tr 5
2:28 pm
Vicuna
tr8/45 - even more faddish
2:28 pm
BzznBea
tr8 - More tr5/12
2:28 pm
AnnieOakley
sorry sharon, i'm still chatting too much
2:28 pm
Atalante
I couldn't get down there in time, grrrrrr! Normally I do try and go to her dr appts with her
2:29 pm
AnnieOakley
ty bea!
2:29 pm
kje
sorry to hear they bungled that - would definitely ask them to have you present in the future
2:29 pm
AnnieOakley
your poor gran
2:30 pm
Atalante
I think she was just shocked! She doesn't feel anything wrong with herself so being told that was a bit odd for her I think
2:30 pm
Lindrickway
where abouts is she Ata?
2:31 pm
Atalante
Bognor Regis! Home of old people!
2:31 pm
Lindrickway
aaww lol
2:31 pm
icepyro
sorry.. had a call.. I dont think the government should ban research that could help people because of moral issues. to me morality is up to the person doing the research and the person being treated by that research
2:32 pm
Atalante
I agree, ice
2:32 pm
kje
well ice - while I do not agree with some of what has occurred with stem cell politization - your argument is faulty - the ethics of research can not be left to those doing the research and those benefiting alone or you end up with Tuskegee
2:33 pm
sharons
im still not getting the de8 although i do know it is a devil something
2:33 pm
BzznBea
add Mr. Fleming's first name to the end sharon.
2:33 pm
Atalante
the decision whether to perform x, y or z has to be a higher decision, but the decision to actually perform ethically grey issues has to be a personal decision
2:34 pm
Lindrickway
DE 8 - de 5 & mr dury (hit me with your rhythm stick)
2:34 pm
AnnieOakley
ty bea again!
2:34 pm
Vicuna
I agree, kje. There have to be some regulations. People who are desperate for a cure are not unbiased judges of the morality of their own decisions... and unfortunately researchers being offerred money by those desperate people are not, either.
2:35 pm
icepyro
NO - Tuskegee was not aware of what was going on and did not give consent. only the research and those benifiting were - my argument is that *everyone* involved is aware and consent
2:36 pm
Vicuna
But the politicization of ethics is never helpful or conducive to real morality.
2:36 pm
kje
well, apparently the world does not agree with that - thus international codes have been set like the Nuremburg codes, Declaration of Helsinki and Geneva, Declaration of Tokyo - what we learned through years of abuse is that scientists left to their own devices can go vastly astray - and not isolated cases, but horrible histories of abuse... and I say that as a researcher myself
2:36 pm
Boobear
clue for mo 7 please
2:36 pm
sharons
i dont understand who mr flemming is on de8
2:37 pm
Atalante
there's a big difference in the discussion of whether - say - stem cell research should be undertaken, and whether researchers can be trusted to act ethically

2:39 pm
evanonut
i live for entrances like that
2:39 pm
Vicuna
Oh. Yes. One of my big frustrations with recent politics is the conflation of political agenda with morality. If we don't want to trust ethics to researchers, we don't want to trust it to politicians, either! What to do!?!
2:39 pm
AnnieOakley
it's a man's name sharons
2:40 pm

trust your ethics to me vic, i promise to preserve them

well then you are doing more than many americans!!
2:41 pm
AnnieOakley
well, that was interesting debate!
2:41 pm
evanonut
yeah, but icy, they think they are raising their kids
2:41 pm

my ethics are better than your ethics. I'm a Scientist :P
2:42 pm

Sean - you still there??
2:42 pm

my ethics are pristine, i work for the government
2:42 pm

yes, I dont like being on soapbox long so trying to steer off course a touch
2:42 pm
Lindrickway
LOLOL!!
2:42 pm
Vicuna
Your ethics were grown in a test-tube! My ethics are 100% organic!
2:43 pm
evanonut
my ethics can be proved on paper in file in some dusty room
2:43 pm
AnnieOakley
haha!
2:43 pm
Atalante
test-tubes? I'm not a chemist!
2:43 pm
Vicuna
Yeah, nut, glued to the bottom of a drawer in locked filing cabinet in a disused bathroom with a sign ont he door saying "Beware of the Leopard."
2:43 pm
icepyro
I don't see how asking my doctor, politician, school teacher what to do is helping me raise my kids rather than talking to my kids and finding out who they are.
2:44 pm
AnnieOakley
my ethics went out the front door!!!
2:44 pm
evanonut
works for you icy, but not for the drug addicts
2:44 pm
Vicuna
Gracious, is that Annie's ethics I see running by my window? And without a stitch on!
2:44 pm
evanonut
thems poor kids don't get a fighting chance
2:45 pm
evanonut
*oh* it is vic...look at those things flapping!
2:45 pm
AnnieOakley
*my ethics are covering themselves with their hands*
2:45 pm
AnnieOakley
LOL!!!
2:45 pm
Atalante
actually my ethics are probably very dubious. a lab I worked in was firebombed by animal rights people
2:45 pm
icepyro
well then, as the saying goes... just because you CAN reproduce, doesn't mean you should
2:45 pm
AnnieOakley
how scary Ata
2:45 pm
Judi
Afternoon all!
2:46 pm
evanonut
probably you fall into my grey area ata
2:46 pm
Vicuna
Well, if it's any comfort, Ata, their ethics were very dubious, as well.
2:46 pm
AnnieOakley
hi judi
2:46 pm
BzznBea
Now that makes sense, doesn't it?
2:46 pm
Atalante
they thought we were breeding crocodiles and killing them slowly. Needless to say, we weren't!
2:46 pm

Firebomb a lab to protest the use and harm of animals.
2:46 pm

hi Judi
2:46 pm
Atalante
stupid, isn't it, Bea!
2:46 pm
evanonut
well then, shame on them for not verifying the validity of their sources
2:47 pm
AnnieOakley
crocs scare me
2:47 pm

hey, Annie, yeah I'm here. Work is taking most of my time today.
2:47 pm
Atalante
we had a few mackerel though
2:47 pm
Judi
Who the heck uses crocodiles for laboratory research anyway? There's some wing nut animal rights activists out there.
2:47 pm
BzznBea
Did their firebomb kill them?
2:47 pm
AnnieOakley
i was going to ask about music cos the cht was too political!
2:47 pm
Vicuna
If you'd waited long enough, they might have evolved into crocs.
2:47 pm
evanonut
its like bombing an abortion clinic...killing people to stop killing people...bible thumping activists are a smear on christianity
2:48 pm
Atalante
no lol cos they were in a different building. The scariest thing we had in the firebombed building were seaweeds and a few whelks
2:48 pm
evanonut
now that i know the pot is good and throroughly stirred,...i'm going shopping.
2:48 pm
Vicuna
Those poor, poor whelks.
2:48 pm

Seaweed and whelks, well-roasted, might be delicious.
2:49 pm
AnnieOakley

2:49 pm

Personally, I find both seaweed and whelks delicious. And those crocs make damn fine fashionable shoes and luggage.

Oh I love a good debate, even if I dont personally agree with a side, once I see it I may take it up just because, but I don't know everyone well enough to be on my soapbox... I dont want rotten tomatoes heading my way +D
2:50 pm
SeanS

It's always hard to gauge on chat when people are starting to get upset. Generally everything seems to be cheerful until *bang* someone flips.
2:51 pm
icepyro
ata - but Ive seen some nonsensible ones so ;)
2:51 pm
AnnieOakley
yes, there have been a couple of debates lately that worried me people would be upset. It's silly as no-one knows each other, but sometimes you can feel anger (not today tho)
2:52 pm
Vicuna
And we are definitely not all sensible!
2:52 pm
Judi
Hey! I resemble that remark!
2:52 pm
icepyro

welcome kate, this game is a lot like boggle .. check out the help above this chat
2:53 pm
Judi
When you think about it, how can anyone have a serious discussion about politics (American politics in particular). The whole process has become tabloid fodder and completely ridiculous.
2:53 pm
SeanS

2:53 pm
AnnieOakley
i'm not sensible Vic, so i agree!

icepyro
personally Im libertarian, but not many people know or understand what that means
2:57 pm
Vicuna
Well, I think it's great to be adult all the time... the fallacy is that "being adult" means never being silly or creative or enthusiastic...

AnnieOakley
Sober as a judge - I'm silly also when sober!

AnnieOakley

That's why I so loved working in an elem. school. I could act silly all day long for the sake of the kids.
