3:12 am
Haz1558
That's a great excuse for everything ' It's my monitor.' I must remember it. Good morning all!

3:15 am
elder
I do not want to start rumours.. but Lynnxx I would have thought and shenanigans going on is best left unsaid. :)
3:16 am
Haz1558
Oh, do start a rumour, elder. It would make me feel better if I wasn't the only one.
3:16 am
elder
Its bound to start.. people reading the chat.. perhaps/.
3:17 am
Haz1558
We'll just sit back and see.
3:19 am
elder
and if that does not work.. well I may have to raise this sensitive issue once again. One must lead with some level of decency.
3:21 am
Haz1558
You tell them, elder.
3:22 am
elder
I feel I may have to Haz... I apologise if this causes you any embarrassment..
3:23 am
Haz1558
Just give me due warning so that I can look away or cover my eyes with a lace handkerchief.
3:24 am
elder
Of course... as I know how delicate you are and I do not want to be the one to cause you to have the vapours...
3:24 am
elder
Daughter arriving soon, just received a text, to put the kettle on. Maybe be in later..bye for now.
3:24 am

3:28 am
Haz1558

3:31 am
LoriP
Holy cow this grid seems totally opposite of yesterday.
3:32 am

Babble grid of yesterday and today. Compare and contrast.

LoriP
This ones gonna' take me awhile......
3:35 am
Haz1558
It's the dilemma, isn't it? Do you declare how hard you're finding a grid and risk people thinking 'She's obviously thick' or stay quiet and let someone else expose their frailties.
3:36 am
LoriP
lolol I was hoping it wasn't just me having a DENSA day, and took the emotional risk of confessing.....
3:37 am
jean1953
good morning everyone, flying visit got 10 mins:)

Haz1558
Margaret Thatcher's husband once said 'It's better to keep quiet and have people think you're thick, than open your mouth and confirm it.'

4:08 am
Haz1558
Oh good, FMitch!
4:10 am
grannyrose
He's VERY relieved, at least we can take care of her, feed her up, and get her back to how she was. the hospital food isn't all th4 nutritious
4:10 am
Haz1558
It's the other end of the extreme from a postcard saying 'Wish you were here'.

g'day cross
4:11 am
FMitch
I think Kori might hve been right when she said this was a tricky grid.
Hello crossy
4:12 am
Haz1558
Yes. It's something of a new phenomenom. Lori being right, that is.
4:12 am
LoriP
***For the record, I Kori, I mean Lori, am hating this grid***
4:12 am
grannyrose
ooooohhhhhh haz, wait til i tell lori!!!
4:13 am
LoriP
*** ouch, that cuts me deep Haz ***
4:13 am
Haz1558
She knows I don't mean it, rose. It's all her monitor's fault, apparently.
4:13 am
grannyrose
lots of babblets in this one, starting with the very first word, took me ages to monkey it
4:14 am
LoriP
*** pouty face, tries to act like a victim***
4:14 am
FMitch
Pull yourself together woman!
4:14 am
Haz1558
No, no, Lori. You must stand tall and prove me wrong.
4:15 am
grannyrose
got a better idea, mitch, why don't you pull her together, you could make a fortune with ticket sales
4:15 am
Haz1558
FMitch and I obviously come from the tough love school.
4:15 am
FMitch
sulking is so unbecoming
4:15 am
LoriP
Nuh uh. Don't wanna'.
4:16 am
Haz1558
And Lori thinks that what she wants is important. When will she ever learn?
4:16 am
grannyrose
don't know about th4 mitch, last time i pouted, i got a new fresh-water pearl necklace * grin *
4:16 am
LoriP
The best way to resolve this, would be to go on a talk show and air it in front of millions. Is Jerry Springer available?
4:16 am
FMitch
*marches Kori/Lori off to the newly installed naughty s4.
4:17 am
LoriP
***It's all about me! Me me me me me!***
4:17 am
grannyrose
whoot, what a great idea...
4:17 am
Haz1558
If Jerry Springer isn't available, his British counterpart, Jeremy Kyle might be. Question. Is there something in the name Jeremy/Jerry that provokes grown men into becoming adult baiters?
4:17 am
FMitch
I say , a necklace, how lovely but please don't encourage her *whispers - you know what she's like*
4:17 am
crosshair
if i ever get a call from jerry springer to appear on a show i would run the other way as fast as a ica cause i really dont wahnt to know why!

4:18 am
crosshair
darn typos
4:18 am
Haz1558
You weren't! Which one did you marry - Jerry Springer or Jeremy Kyle?
4:18 am
LoriP
That's why naming children must be carefully though out.
4:18 am
Haz1558
This is HOT news for the log.
4:19 am
FMitch
I think I would have rather it was Springer
4:19 am
Haz1558
So it was Jeremy Kyle.
4:19 am
FMitch
but it wasn't Kyle before you go down that route
4:19 am
FMitch

4:19 am
Haz1558
Too late.
4:19 am
grannyrose

4:19 am

4:20 am
FMitch
She's on fire!! Someone thorw a bucket of water over her please!!
4:20 am
Haz1558
Maybe you could get a guest appearance on his show and reveal to the world what an awful person he is.
4:20 am
LoriP
***focus people, 'yer s'posed to be consoling ME, and some atoning would be nice***
4:20 am
crosshair
who is overheating??
4:20 am
Haz1558
Oh wait. He does that himself every time he goes on TV.
4:21 am
FMitch
Oh that would be the menopause conversation I had at 4am this morning with Jacs and a few others
4:21 am
Haz1558
But it would be great, wouldn't it, if people appeared out of the woodwork ' I am Jeremy Kyle's lovechild'
4:21 am
grannyrose
there, there, lori, i still love you * puts tongue in cheek *
4:21 am
crosshair

4:21 am
LoriP
***I'd be a little more comfortable if granny re-write that slightly....***
4:22 am
Haz1558
'I am Jeremy Kyle's neglected and despised wife. He left me in such a state that all I can do is babble.'
4:22 am
FMitch

4:23 am
Haz1558
'I am Jeremy Kyle's next door neighbour. He plays loud music all day and all night.'
4:23 am
FMitch
I think Haz's meds are wearing off
4:24 am
Haz1558
'I am the REAL Jeremy Kyle. This is my long-lost identical twin who has stolen my identity'
4:24 am
grannyrose

4:25 am
FMitch
That must be you on TV now then has or is it a recording?
4:25 am

4:25 am
crosshair

4:25 am

4:27 am
FMitch
Doh, got it wrong again.

4:27 am
Haz1558
I bet no-one claims to be Vanessa Feltz.
4:27 am
grannyrose
mitch really rofl
4:27 am
FMitch
Think Jerry Springer but naffer
4:28 am
crosshair
if naffer means more loony i dont want to know
4:28 am
Haz1558
Yes. If Jerry Springer scrapes the barrel, Jeremy Kyle digs deeper.
4:28 am
Haz1558
Naffer - less class. Can you imagine?
4:30 am
crosshair
LESS class than springer? is that possible?
4:31 am
Haz1558
I'm afraid so.
4:31 am
FMitch
I remember the first time I saw a Springer show - we had nothing like it here then and was totally agog!
4:31 am
Haz1558
That's when she fell in love with the name 'Jeremy'.

done, FM! On the right date now... and it is purely coincidental that it combines with favorite museum!
5:15 am
FMitch
cheers sprite :)
5:16 am
sprite
my pleasure! And sorry about the mistake.
5:16 am
FMitch
No problem!
5:17 am
FMitch
I am getting tired of the red 'not found in the dictionary', *big sigh*
5:17 am
Haz1558
Blame your monitor, FMitch. Kori/Lori does.
5:18 am
sprite
argh, I bet. This is an interesting grid, just like you said.
5:18 am
FMitch
Oh is THAT how she does it, ahh!
5:18 am
FMitch
Foolishly I gave my monkeys the day off, silly me.
5:19 am
Haz1558
Yes, indeed. I think she means her computer monitor rather than her monitor lizard.
5:19 am
sprite
my monkeys say they would love to help you out today, FM. I think they are bored by my demands :(
5:20 am
FMitch
*grin* Nice idea but the quarantine laws are too stringent, so you keep them with you :)
5:21 am
sprite
now they look sad. But I won't give in. WORK, you little ones, work for me! :D
5:21 am
Haz1558
Thankfully not too many people keep reptiles around here. Husband always claims he is doubtful when he looks out of the consulting room and sees people sitting with a bag on the floor that is moving....
5:22 am
sprite
I will brb, will check with my little girl if she wants something to eat.
5:22 am
FMitch
Perhaps Kori is just being monitored by the secret sevices?
5:22 am
sprite
ouph, I bet Haz. Creepy crawlers :)
5:22 am
FMitch
Moving bags does not bode well in any setting!
5:23 am
Haz1558
The problem is that people who keep reptiles know more about them than he does.
5:23 am
Haz1558
Apart from them being creepy crawlers, of course.
5:23 am
FMitch
Well with a cow, you know where you are and in his case probably with his arm .......
5:24 am
Haz1558
Moving right along from that thought.....
5:25 am
FMitch
Suddenly remembers that great goat story that you told, with the ill farmer :)
5:25 am
caitlyn
Are you talking about me again.....all this talk about cows!! Hi all
5:25 am
Haz1558
Hello caitlyn!

hi Caitlyn
5:26 am
Haz1558
I must tell you about one family who cause great amusement every time they buy a particular drug.
5:26 am
FMitch
tell away, the floor is yours
5:26 am
Haz1558
It's called Tyrexene, with the slogan 'Mastitis meets its match'. Every time any of them comes into the surgery they say 'Can I have a box of 'Mastitis meets its match'.
5:27 am
Haz1558
We don't know if they can't pronounce Tyrexene or if they just think that's what it's called.
5:30 am
FMitch
I was looking at the RDA website last night Haz and was interested to see that there are a couple of places fairly local to me.
5:30 am
Haz1558
Husband does their TB test and on the second day, he has to examine each cow to see if there's been any reaction. The son in the family can't contain his curiosity. 'Is she okay?' 'Is she okay?' - 160 cows in the herd..... husband finally said 'If I say nothing, she's fine. I'll tell you if there's something wrong.'
5:30 am
Haz1558
That was fine for about four cows. Then it began again. 'Is she okay?' Is she okay?
5:31 am
lynxxx
well it tickled my funny bone
5:31 am
FMitch
When did S use the humane gun?
5:32 am
Haz1558
Well, as TO once said 'Some people are only alive because it's illegal to shoot them'
5:32 am
caitlyn
I have this mental picture of your hubby talking through clenched te5/12
5:33 am
sprite

Argh, Haz, your husband must be an extremely patient man!
5:33 am

Haz1558
Should we have spoken joyously of the pleasure of the grid then watched her suffer?
5:42 am
Haz1558
We're too nice.
5:42 am
FMitch
*clancks chains and feels better*
5:42 am
sprite

5:42 am
caitlyn

5:42 am
FMitch
Ok so we have to get our stories right for the next person that comes along and asks
5:43 am
FMitch
lol cait - grat minds and all that
5:43 am
Haz1558
I keep thinking that if I just gather myself together and focus that words will appear. I've been thinking that for ages.
5:43 am
sprite
brat minds?
5:43 am
westford
I thought I found a lovely purple flower but no
5:43 am

5:44 am
Haz1558
I thought so, as well. A really lovely grid.
5:44 am
caitlyn
LOL sprite
5:44 am
Haz1558
I don't know when I've ever come across a grid I thought to be as lovely as this one.
5:45 am

hm... yes. A little.
5:46 am
Haz1558
Okay, there may, conceivably, have been grids nicer than this one, but it's a lovely grid, all the same.
5:46 am
Haz1558
Good morning JBV.
5:46 am
FMitch
OK show of hands - how many words found so far?
Me 110
5:46 am

5:46 am
JBV

5:47 am

caitlyn
Yes I have finished looking smug!!
5:49 am
Haz1558
How can you cheer and booo all at the same time?
5:49 am
sprite

5:49 am
JBV

5:49 am
caitlyn
I did start at 6.45 though
5:49 am
Haz1558
In the absence of Ata, I reckon you've earned the smug look.
5:50 am
sprite
Smugalante steals the crown, but cait is a very close 2nd.
5:50 am
FMitch
Oh just rub it in cait, why not, I was the first one at the flipping flip!
5:50 am
caitlyn
I think i like this smug look, perhaps if I get on DOND I can use it th4
5:50 am

6:20 am
westford
about a week ago I misplaced my cell phone I know it's somewhere in the house. I call the number but it goes right to voice mail I need to hear it ring so I can find it
6:20 am
westford
any suggestions?
6:21 am
lil*monkey
BF just came in the room to tell me something, said "Uh oh" and ran out
6:21 am
sprite
it is probably off, west. Out of battery power maybe. Just search until you have found it... look at places you'd never put it :D
6:22 am
lil*monkey
westie, can you leave yourself a voice mail? Usually the cellphone will then beep or signal that you have a message
6:22 am
sprite
well adjusted BF... sees babble and knows not now.
6:22 am
bfsog
lil monkey i thought you meant me
6:22 am
westford
oh sprite I have looked under and over and behind and in pockets..even checked the freezer
6:22 am
lil*monkey
oh no, bfsog, i say BF for boyfriend, he is full of colonoscopy prep medication and has to poop water every 10 minutes
6:23 am
westford
I hope it didn't accidentally fall in the recycle basket and get put out to the curb
6:23 am
sprite
wish I could drop by and find it for you, as is my duty he4 in the house...
6:23 am
westford
aww thanks sprite
6:23 am
bfsog
thanks for the toilet update, monkey
6:25 am
westford
back to the phone if it is going to voice mail doesn't that mean the battery is not dead?
6:25 am
mrpresident
thanks for the word bfsog
6:25 am
westford
yes ty lol
6:25 am
sprite
nope, if it goes to voicemail right away it means it does not ring, and it will not beep either.
6:26 am
bfsog
if it goes straight to voicemail it means it is dead,
6:26 am
westford
so I"m up that creek with a paddle ( or cell phone )
6:27 am
mrpresident
yes bfsog... penalty box for you... as it is a big to bigger word, you get fattening treats
6:27 am
lil*monkey
bsog, you said up6... off to the PB with yuou
6:27 am

voicemail is not your cell phone, it is your provider. Messages get recorded there, not on your phone.
6:27 am
mrpresident

6:36 am
sprite
is maddison better now? Or at least feeling better?
6:36 am
mrpresident

6:37 am
sprite
yes, she was too ill at first, but when she got bored, we got some tasks for her to do at home.
6:38 am
mrpresident
maddie got up on thursday and tried to fein her way to school, as she had an invite to a sleep over tonight
6:38 am
sprite
aw... how sweet :) Did she manage or was it too soon?
6:39 am
mrpresident
she did manage. Miracle recovery... but only just
6:40 am
mrpresident
she was sick as since Sunday though... I couldn't hold her back from her first day of recovery
6:40 am
sprite
glad for her. Caya seems a little bit better today, but still extremely tired. She is such a lively little thing and now all she does is lying on the couch, watching movies, reading, napping.
6:40 am
mrpresident
did her bloods show anything intrusive?
6:41 am
sprite
blood te4s got back, except for the pfeiffer. All seems ok. Pfeiffer te4 won't be back for another 5 or 6 days.
6:41 am
mrpresident
Maddie got Ross River Fever a couple of years ago... so she suffers periodically.
We accept and go from there. Her teachers know and don't give us a hard time
6:41 am
sprite
her iron (hb) was even 9,1, which is very good.
6:42 am
sprite
what is Ross River Fever? Something like Pfeiffer?
6:42 am
mrpresident
what is pfeifer?? will go look it up
6:43 am
sprite
mono something, is the official name, I think
6:43 am
mrpresident
LOL! the same!!
6:43 am
mrpresident
glandular fever... but without kissing boys! they get it from mosquitos most of the time
6:44 am
sprite
indeed, Epstein Barr virus of Infectious mononucleosis)
or glandular fever..
6:44 am
sprite
lol, ok, th4 one :) Not nice if they have it.

Hi
6:45 am
mrpresident
the symptoms keep them down and out... but they recover well and are immuned soon enough
6:45 am
westford
hi herin
6:46 am
sprite
it is just that they get those episodes of tiredness every now and again, right?
6:46 am
mrpresident
the worst is when they get the symptoms and are so so down and upset... the crying gets to me the most. It isn't their fault they are so weak.
6:46 am
herinfernallady
Wabes hello
6:46 am
mrpresident
yes sprite, exactly what is exasperating about it
6:47 am
mrpresident
hi infern
6:47 am
herinfernallady
Is Caya still sick sprite? Sorry if i spelt her name wrong
6:48 am
sprite
hi lady, yes she is. Slightly better, but not much.
6:48 am
sprite
yes, that sucks, pardon my french. They want so much and are so enthusiastic, and then they must slow down to a crawl. Awful.
6:49 am
sprite
and you spell her name just right, darling :)
6:50 am
Boobear
good morning everyone
6:50 am
herinfernallady
On poor love hope she gets better soon. Mr Pres how is you and yours and HI west i did see you and hi boo too
6:51 am
mrpresident
I bet you millions of whatever that she will come home from the sleepover and collapse for a few days! Joy
6:51 am
mrpresident
hi boo
6:51 am
sprite
well, at least she can look back upon good memories then, mrP, you could remind her of that. Poor thing. Give her a huge hug from me.
6:52 am
mrpresident
will do sprite!
hope caya recovers well and by highschool, they are both cured of this!
6:52 am
mrpresident
has caya's hand gone back to normal yet?
6:52 am
sprite
hey, that is the good news! Hadn't thought of that yet, but you are right :)
6:52 am
mrpresident
and what has happened with the girl (and parents)??
6:52 am
herinfernallady
wow chat is speeding by sorry if i miss anyone
6:53 am
mrpresident
if they miss 30 days of high school, it will be so hard on them!!
6:53 am
sprite
totally out of control, mrP. The mother accused us of terrorizing our kids, and her daughter, of not caring about Caya etc etc. It was ugly.
6:54 am
mrpresident
terrorising?? are they feeling alright??
That is disgusting!
6:54 am
sprite
it was. It was shocking. We didn't get to finish one single sentence. She was so aggressive and full of unfounded accusations.
6:54 am
mrpresident
and is this girl still good friends of Caya? (are they at the same school)
6:55 am
sprite
she claims Caya is scared to death of us, and doesn't dare to go home if she is late.
6:55 am
sprite
they are in the same class even. The girl is being brainwashed by the parents, she has even refused to talk it out with the help of their teacher. She cannot say why, she just refuses.
6:56 am
herinfernallady
Mr PRes my friends kid did about half a year of work in about 4 months which says how lame the system is in Vic
6:56 am
mrpresident
scared to death.... ??? way over the top me thinks
6:56 am
mrpresident
how doesn't she dare go home if she is late?? how did they come up with that??
6:57 am
mrpresident
my daughter did 1 year of work in 2 months at college, but it is not unfounded, it is what is accepted in the education department
6:57 am
sprite
Caya has a history of going missing, because she forgets to phone when she goes to a friend. Let's say it happened about a 100 times (definitely not a high estimate), so the rules are strict for her. Home in time, and always call and let us know where you are.
6:58 am
sprite
so she told me, once when she realised she hadn't called again and knew I had been searching for her for hours, she didn't look forward to coming home and getting a piece of my mind. That is all.
6:58 am
mrpresident
well, that is acceptable... if my child was missing and late, I would threaten the be'jesus out of them!!
6:58 am
herinfernallady
Sprite my parents had that for me too. Ring were you are. I clearly remember two or three times not calling them as i was busy with the boys.
6:58 am
mrpresident
it is NORMAL sprite
6:59 am
herinfernallady
AND by busy i mean down at the arcade when i was 17 or 18
6:59 am
sprite
lol mrP, exactly, as a parent one is scared to death when they go missing. But Caya is not afraid of either of us. She talks back to us, makes jokes with us, cuddles and hugs with us... come on.
6:59 am
mrpresident
maddison and luke CRY if they are late... cause they are frightened that they frightened us!!
7:00 am
herinfernallady
Sprite i bet these people have confused down right respect with you being a parent bully
7:00 am
sprite
and lady, my little girl is only 10, and I simply want to know where she is at all times. Seems pretty normal to me.
7:00 am
mrpresident
as I can only say a million times... it is normal!
Kids can be forgetful, and they should be scared if they don't follow the rules.
7:00 am
sprite
that too, mrP. Caya feels worse about us being worried than about being grounded for a week, as she was the last time it happened (after 5 warnings in 2 weeks)
7:01 am
herinfernallady
Yes Sprite my parents inforced that rule as soon as i had friends (which was rare)
7:01 am
sprite
but I got that also from that mum... grounding a poor little 10 yo for a whole week, I was out of my mind (pointing forehead). Seriously.
7:01 am
mrpresident
she was upset about you grounding??
7:02 am
sprite
the mum was, not Caya. Caya thought it was fair punishment, and even told me she thought she caught off lightly, lol.
7:02 am
herinfernallady
I got grounded for a month for being rude to Nan so completely understand the system
7:02 am
mrpresident
I have been grounding my kids since 8... if they f**k up, they are grounded... period!
kiss my furry ass if they don't like it
7:03 am
sprite
also, this friend of Caya's had a tendence of calling us in the morning before school, sometimes even 3 or 4 times a morning. We want to read together, so after a while I asked her, politely, not to call us in the morning unless it really couldn't wait until school. That, said the mum, was bullying her child. The poor girl never dared to call us again! (she still called at least 8 times a week, but mum doesn't seem to know)
7:03 am
mrpresident
and I can guarantee you... they don't pucker up for those odds
7:03 am
herinfernallady
Thats the issue today no one wants to take responsibility for their kids horrid and rude behaviour. Sounds like a grandma
7:04 am
sprite
lol mrP. The whole point of grounding is that they don't like it. If they don't follow the rules, especially frequently, they must learn they should.
7:04 am
sprite
lady, I totally agree. My kids are sweet and polite. Not scared, they talk freely with everybody, but in a polite way. I don't see why that would be bad.
7:05 am
herinfernallady
MrPres How is Madison's home report card going? Her contract for being a pain in your butt?
7:06 am
mrpresident
her report card is amazing...
I actually have to find a school for her that suits her. I can't send her to the local school.
She is kind, considerate, smart, cool, well liked...
holy shit!! I have a devil child on my hands!
7:06 am
sprite
but well, ok, you know how insecure I can be about being a good mother, so it hurt badly. I bless my children. My son said that evening, when I wanted to hug him goodnight: "Eeeewwww mum, stay away, I am scared of you! Scared you hug me to death!"
7:06 am
herinfernallady
What do you mean can't send her to the local school?
7:07 am
herinfernallady
LOL Sprite
7:07 am
sprite
hehehe, mrP, she is one of your prides and joys. She rocks.
7:07 am
mrpresident
sprite, hug him harder, suffocate him!! show him how lucky he is
7:07 am
sprite
and "scared you love me to pieces" was another one, lol. It did me a load of good to hear him joke about it like that.
7:07 am

morning, all. things are kind of tense in Texas...waiting for the hurricane to make landfall.
7:08 am

the local school isn't enough for her... I have to make sure she is happy in the school she goes to... as long as she wants to be at the school she is at, she will be ok
7:08 am
sprite
hi Angel, yes, it is scary. Be safe! We have been thinking of you all there, and praying.
7:08 am

html?5day
7:11 am
lov3rgrl
only 5 more and i'm stuck. time for a break.
7:11 am
sprite
mrP: the girl has yet to ask Caya how her hand is doing. Caya decided that if the girl was a true friend, she would have cared about her. So she keeps her distance now. The other girl tries to act like nothing happened, but keeps telling Caya how terrible her father has been to her.
7:11 am
sprite
wow lov3rgrl, well done!
7:12 am
mrpresident
how terrible her father has been?? tell me about that please
7:13 am
sprite
when Caya's hand was stuck between the cardoor, the friend didn't realise and didn't react when Caya asked her to open the door. My husband called out to her to open the door, then she started to open the other door and he called out to her to open the back door. By that time he was with Caya and got her hand out.
7:14 am
sprite
He put Caya in the car, gave Mylene her stuff and said he would take Caya home to cool her hand. They were literally in front of their front door atm.
7:14 am
sprite
and now they are very angry with us that my husband dared to raise his voice to their daughter. That is what the whole fight is about.
7:15 am
sprite
plus that he did not come into their home to cool the hand, but chose to take Caya home and help her there. That meant, according to them, that he didn't care about Caya, just wanted to make the other girl feel bad.
7:15 am
herinfernallady
Gosh i always call out 'fingers'' before closing doors. ANd if i had done that to someone elses kid i would have been crying myself and making it up to that person
7:16 am
mrpresident
ah, how terrible for caya... she doesn't need that about her own father.... that girl isn't very pleasant. I hope caya is ready to completely ignore her
7:16 am
sprite
nobody was angry with the girl, it was an accident. Things like that just happen. But they don't care about Caya's hand. They are just mad my love raised his voice. Out of anger, they said. Out of panic and urgency, the rest of the world will say.
7:17 am
sprite
Caya has a big heart. She even feels bad for the girl, because she is in the middle now between parents and friend. But she doesn't want Mylene close anymore, because she now knows the girl doesn't care.
7:18 am
mrpresident
it is such a catch 22... they think they are right, you know you are... it is like 'time management' was all on the wrong page for everyone
7:18 am
mrpresident
does that make any sense?
7:19 am

Hi Carlee

GreyWoulf
Good morning everyone from Eastern PA
7:19 am
sprite
not sure what you mean by that. Their daughter accidently hurt Caya's hand with the cardoor. My husband spoke urgently to her, caught Caya out and took her home. Next thing was the father, yelling at my husband for raising his voice to their daughter. And never once asking about Caya.
7:19 am
sprite
Woulf!!!! *hug* SO good to see you.
7:20 am
mrpresident
they perhaps think that your husband could have left his 'loud voice' for another time... you think that they could have opened their 'caring voice' much sooner
7:20 am

7:21 am
herinfernallady
Woulf hope you and yours are all good
7:21 am
sprite
I am completely baffled at their reaction. If things had been the other way around, I would have wanted to know how Mylene was. And I would haev told Caya that of course people raise their voice when there is a crisis that must be taken care of. Nothing personal in that.
7:21 am
GreyWoulf
Lady -- I am doing fine, but unfortunately my mother-in-law isn't -- she is currently on her way to have a cardiac catherization done
7:21 am

am truly missing you, Woulf! Lots.
7:21 am

exactly, mrP. I asked the mother, or tried to, in that one 'conversation' in which she was so rude, if she realised none of them had once asked about Caya and her hand. And all she said was: "Of course not."

Someone wanted to thank you for a wonderful sweet and sour sauce recipe, Jac!
7:26 am
GreyWoulf
Here is the deal as we know it -- Mimi was complaining of what she thought was gall bladder issues earlier in the week, but was procrastinating about seeing the doctor
7:26 am
GreyWoulf

7:26 am
Jacula
Oh, good. Glad they enjoyed the sauce.
7:27 am
Jacula
Hi Wolfie. Nice to see you again.
7:27 am
sprite
I was hoping you would share the recipe... Kiwi is going to make a babble cook book online for us. WOuld you, Jac? Pretty please?
7:27 am
GreyWoulf
Finally the pain bothered her enough last night that she finally went to hospital. What they found was that her gall bladder was just fine
7:27 am
herinfernallady
My b.f forgot that I wanted to go out tommorow night and he wants to go to a mates house to be borring so i am going to go out by myself so ner
7:28 am
Jacula
Of course, Sprite. My cookbook is still in BabAnon. I'll put the recipe in my blog.
7:28 am
GreyWoulf
However, she had elevated cardiac enzymes which indicated that she had had a heart attack, so they are sending her to a different hospital for the catheterization and further tests -- we will know more later
7:29 am

not so good, Woulf, am so sorry. *hugs*

7:33 am

Who is with her at the hospital?
7:35 am
GreyWoulf
sprite -- one of my favorite authors (Spider Robinson) has a saying in one of his most popular series (the Callahan's Crosstime Saloon books) that I firmly believe in
Misery shared is divided, Joy shared is multiplied

Babs1
mg..not available in Netherlands yet...it's a whey technology supplement that targets fat.
8:37 am
MonkeyGames
He has been able to go home. Still having some bladder stones trouble and they don't know what the mass is but it doesn't seem to be bothering him. So for right now, he's OK.
8:37 am
MonkeyGames
And thank you so much for asking!
8:37 am
Anniebrook
MG, glad to hear he is home and hope all goes well from now on.
8:38 am
MonkeyGames
Thanks!
8:38 am

what you can do mg without a supplement is green smoothies...fruit/salad greens--kale, spinach with water...changes food cravings...and drop gluten foods
8:39 am
MonkeyGames
Hmmm. I'll look into that, thanks.
8:40 am
Babs1
e-mail me and I'll send you some recipe idea, mg

Okay, I'm going to kill three birds with one stone. I'm going to walk Spangle, I'm going to deliver a couple of forms to the local Youth Office, and I'm going to go via a part of the road that was cordoned off by the police earlier on today. I'll look as casual as I can.

When I asked what was going on earlier, the policeman (in cycle helmet) only said 'A scene is being held'. I'm not nosy, you understand.

so very british - LOL
10:13 am

I'm telling you, dc, they get taught these phrases in police school and then can't speak normally. 'As I was proceeding to the incident, having been alerted by a member of the public....'

our subway uses farceards, small chits of paper with a magnetic stripe. When one exits the system with exact value, the gate displays "Exact Fare - Farecard Captured". Years ago, a pair of British women went through the gate ahead of me. One said to the other 'captured. so typical of the violent society here. Why can't they say 'farecard retained' or such' LOL
10:15 am
kje
it is just so funny to think of babbling via wii
10:16 am
dcseain
bfsog, Wii uses opera, which babble does not play well with.
10:16 am
bfsog
yeah i know!
10:16 am
kje
ha ha ha - DC!!!
10:17 am
bfsog
@dc: i know Wii uses the Opera browser, it was not the functionality of the browser in question. Its to with there is no "send" or such button to submit some text to the chat. Via the Wii you click on a form input and then a keyboard pops up, I can enter text in but no way to submit
10:18 am
dcseain
hm. i shall have to play with that :) I like challenges
10:18 am
bfsog
i tried appending my text with a return but to no avail
10:18 am
dcseain
yes, kje, it's been about a decade, but it still makes me happy to remember that encounter in the metro.
10:19 am
dcseain
does one of the buttons, or maybe the trigger, serve?
10:19 am
kje
great story DC
10:19 am
dcseain
seeking it, kje...
10:19 am
bfsog
nope, the a button follows links but there is no links or such. i just thought of a way actually.
10:19 am
dcseain
kje, add a man's name
10:20 am
dcseain
oh? praytell, bfsog :)

well i can type in my own addresses, so i can use JavaScript to submit the form which deals with the chat. A quick look at the source code reveals something like javascript: AddChatMessager(); would call the function that adds a message to the chat

hey monkey - now you know how I feel when someone clues the "french word for chicken" = nt :D
11:43 am
lil*monkey
what, hoot?
11:43 am
lil*monkey
french for chikn is poulet
11:45 am
lil*monkey
hootowl, i just read your profile... you are going to kill me but i once had a copy of Breads of the World. When i moved from Maryland to NC, i sold it (and about a thousand other books) at my yard sale
11:46 am
hootowl
you are right - i could...but I won't. I had 2 copies and lost them to a landlord from hell!
11:46 am
lil*monkey
i guess you have already looked on ebay?
11:47 am
dcseain
hoot, have you tried powells.com?
11:47 am
hootowl
But i'd never sell cookbooks
11:47 am
dcseain
i've had good luck with powells and with barnes and noble in terms of sourcing original, out-of-print books.
11:47 am
dcseain
i collect hard-bound 1st editions, and sometimes want one to complete a set.
11:48 am
hootowl
dc your a genius. Looked when I was there 2 years ago but never thought of checking on-line. I do have these stupid boxes.
11:48 am
lil*monkey
i found an old book i wanted once by googling the author's name... turns out she has her own website. I bought the book directly from her
11:48 am
hootowl
I NEVER thought of Barnes & Noble! Thanks!
11:49 am
dcseain
even for b&n, online is best when seeking older stuff.
11:49 am
hootowl
I think those blank spots are getting bigger! Thanks again
11:50 am
dcseain
borders may offer such services, too. Second Story books may also, come to think of it.
11:51 am
dcseain
oh, or maybe Strand in NYC
11:51 am
hootowl
Never even considered the new book stores - I will be busy today!
11:51 am
hootowl
Or Strand may have my books. I'm from NY
11:52 am
dcseain
i find Strand much easier to browse in than Powells. Powells is set up that one must find what one wants. Strand is so much better set up to wander and find who-knows what. :)
11:52 am
dcseain
good, point, hoot :)

12:01 pm

Thanks dc. Know the area and she shouldn't have heavy flooding but rain and wind for sure
12:03 pm

I lived in San Antonio for 6 mts and it's kinda nervewracking to see height markers on every stream and gully that far inland. And some went to 30 feet
12:03 pm
