GroovyKiwi

2:04 am

GroovyKiwi

im in danger of loosing the house if the ex doesnt sign the papers by the end of this month because of the arrears on the mortgage that he got us into that i cant get us out of

2:04 am

mrpresident

oh darling... I am so so sorry!

2:04 am

joshuavorbis

ooooooooof

2:05 am

mrpresident

certainly you can get a court injunction to stop this happening?
I pray for you darling

2:05 am

GroovyKiwi

the finance company have no sypmathy compassion or willing to offer any lienency

2:05 am

mrpresident

far out! is amazing how cold and nasty they are in this economic climate

2:06 am

GroovyKiwi

i hate to say it but the finance co is aussie owned too

2:06 am

mrpresident

well, I do hope he comes to signing it, or threaten to sue the sh!t out of him!

2:06 am

joshuavorbis

what's keeping him from si4ing the papers? is it something more than stubbornness or childishness?

2:07 am

GroovyKiwi

josh he is happy to give over title and financial control of the house to me no problems he just wants ultimate control over when i can or cant sell the house and i wont agree to it

2:07 am

sandyloo

kiwi, i'm sorry to hear that, what a bummer

2:07 am

GroovyKiwi

know a hit man mrp? ive got a life insurance policy still active on him lolol

2:07 am

mrpresident

what a %#$&ing asshole

2:07 am

sandyloo

sounds like you need a lawyer- but they cost a fortune

2:08 am

GroovyKiwi

so basically my lawyer has advised his lawyer that unless the separation agreement is amended with that clause removed and the arrears paid by 5pm tomorrow we will go to court

2:08 am

mrpresident

i am pretty good with nail clippers! I could make it very very long and painful for him

2:08 am

sandyloo

what a win for the law proffession

2:08 am

GroovyKiwi

oh i wish mrp

2:08 am

sandyloo

doesn't he realise they will be the only winners

2:09 am

GroovyKiwi

the worst of it is that its like he doesnt care if the kids have a house to live in or not

2:09 am

joshuavorbis

wait, if he's ok with giving over title and financial control to you, what does he care about when you sell it?

2:09 am

mrpresident

josh, it is about 'control'

2:09 am

sandyloo

can't believe some of these stories!!! How can someone act like that!!

2:09 am

GroovyKiwi

hes trying to stop me selling it before both of the kids have grown up and moved out

2:10 am

joshuavorbis

do you want to sell it now?

2:10 am

sandyloo

Yes Pres, "control"

2:10 am

GroovyKiwi

and im saying well hey what if we decide we just want a new house - like any family, or what if i decide to get a job in another city or what if i find a new man and we move in with him

2:11 am

GroovyKiwi

no i dont want to sell it right now but why should someone who doesnt have any financial control over a house or a name on the title tell me how i can run mine or my kids lives

2:11 am

mrpresident

brb... will chat again about this and catch up on the chatlog kiwi... just have to get dinner

2:11 am

joshuavorbis

how can he even legally exert that sort of control? title is the last call, isn't it?

2:11 am

GroovyKiwi

i havent eaten yet whats for dinner mrp

2:12 am

GroovyKiwi

he wants a caveat put on the title

2:13 am

joshuavorbis

uhhhh, something isn't adding up

2:13 am

joshuavorbis

divorces are weird

2:14 am

GroovyKiwi

we could have had this settled months ago, the old mortgage paid off, my new less expensive mortgage running no big lawyers bills and no stress or anger but NOPE he had to carry on being an ass

2:15 am

joshuavorbis

remind me never to get married

2:15 am

GroovyKiwi

hind sight isnt a good thing lol

2:15 am

sandyloo

he wants a settlement then?

2:16 am

Andree

hi everyone

2:16 am

GroovyKiwi

everything is settled but this

2:16 am

GroovyKiwi

hey andree hugs happy babbling

2:16 am

GroovyKiwi

and because hes being an ass im getting in the doo doo

2:17 am

Andree

kiwi tell him if you go to court tell him you will be asking for costs, that might get him to change his mind as it is likely he may have to pay

2:17 am

Rlee

my cousin cassie is in the grid, should i tell her she is special :p

2:18 am

GroovyKiwi

ag5 greys hotel in apia, samoa is in the grid too lol

2:18 am

GroovyKiwi

well im just hoping like hell i get a positive call from the lawyer tomorrow

2:18 am

Andree

as he has caused the need to take it to court any decent judge will make him pay

2:20 am

GroovyKiwi

ive pretty much got a month before the finance co get approval for a mortgagee sale so im hoping that it will be sorted way before then

2:21 am

GroovyKiwi

and thats firewords for me

2:22 am

Andree

yay kiwi

2:22 am

GroovyKiwi

2:39 am

mrpresident

andree! nice to see you darlingheart

2:39 am

KatieMcG

Hi Mr P how you doing?

2:40 am

mrpresident

hi katie! am doing ok thanks.... tolerating myself and getting better :D

2:40 am

KatieMcG

that's great, did you have a good holiday?

2:41 am

mrpresident

we got the house andree!
we are moving in 2 1/2 weeks... am getting excited about it now that it is sinking in

2:42 am

Andree

I am so glad, you will now have the unpleasant task of moving

2:42 am

mrpresident

katie, it was lovely to be in the sunshine! Queensland is a lovely this time of year

2:43 am

mrpresident

at least the move will be positive (bigger place), but I do hate packing up and moving!

2:43 am

KatieMcG

It will be nice to be able to get settled though Mr P. Is it me or do you seem to move quite a lot?

2:44 am

Andree

sunshine would be nice , this weather is crazy, we have the heaters on

2:44 am

mrpresident

katie, oh no! we have lived in the same place for 8 years! we moved in January, but it was not the right place for us.... so we are moving into a much bigger house and hope to stay there for quite some time

2:45 am

KatieMcG

Ahhh it was the January move I remembered, it is so stressful to keep moving, lets hope the next one is a 'keeper'

2:45 am

Andree

i will organise myself and come one afternoon and gove a hand with some of the packing

2:45 am

mrpresident

I don't think it was above 12 degrees today... nasty nasty weather.

2:46 am

mrpresident

yes katie, I am concerned that they will keep to their word and let us stay for at least 2 years

2:47 am

KatieMcG

do you rent then Mr P?

2:47 am

mrpresident

oh andree! you are too much of a sweetie!
we don't have much to pack, as most of it is still packed away in the garage!

2:48 am

mrpresident

yes katie, we sold earlier this year and decided to rent until the housing market improved and interest rates dropped.
here, we pay 8% interest... it is awful... it needs to drop to 5% before we would consider buying again

2:48 am

Andree

with your arm mrp you should grab any help you can,moving really is the pits

2:49 am

mrpresident

I know andree... and I would love/appreciate any help

2:50 am

Andree

i think it may drop to quite a low rate in the next year or so

2:50 am

mrpresident

andree... do you remember the days when interest rates were 18.5%...??? that was the death of many

2:51 am

Andree

okay i will call you closer to the move, do you need boxes

2:51 am

KatieMcG

That's a good move Mr P, our interest rates are lower but it really depends on if you can get a mortgate and what rate. A lot of people are in trouble because they dropped of a really low fixed rate and their payments are going up by £400 per month etc

2:51 am

mrpresident

that is alot katie!

2:52 am

mrpresident

nah, boxes can come from the movers... they give them on loan. thanks so much though andree!

2:54 am

mrpresident

gotta go get dinner moving along to actually being on the table and eaten! bbs :D

2:54 am

Andree

you must have nice movers , we had to buy ours, or rather my son did so we have had our moneys worth, they have done a move for each of the family so far

2:55 am

KatieMcG

I bought plastic boxes for a lot of mine which was going into storage between houses. Now we have loads of them in the garage but they are so useful.

2:58 am

Andree

katie , i did that too and they get passed out to family and friends too, the other useful carriers for clothes etc are those big chinese bags$2 at the dollar shop

2:58 am

Andree

not that they have anything for $1

3:00 am

KatieMcG

We are very in to 'bags for life' one shop does them for £1 and they are great, would use a lot more of them now, but hopefully we are in this house for a long long time, couldn't take another year like last year :-)

3:02 am

Andree

my daughter and i have a 1 year lease on this house , i would like to stay as long as poss but who knows when you rent you are at the whim of owners who may sell etc

3:04 am

KatieMcG

I know what you mean Andree, I managed to keep the same rented house for 5 years but know how lucky I was.

3:05 am

KatieMcG

I'd better go now, see you later

3:05 am

Andree

yes i was in the last for nearly 4 years and if it wasn't for the fact that my daughter and i decided to get a place together i would still be there

3:05 am

Andree

bye katie

yup, just you and me for the moment

3:23 am

sprite

you, me andd 5 Ks, that is.

3:24 am

They're prob'ally all stoopid. Just make up words.

3:24 am

sprite

I agree

3:28 am

mrpresident

hi lori and sprite :) nice and quiet it seems

3:28 am

LoriP

This grid is too vowel-y. Ack

3:28 am

sprite

hi mrP!

3:28 am

LoriP

G'd morning mrP

3:29 am

mrpresident

pardon me whilst I burp! my dinner is just settling in LOL!

3:30 am

sprite

in dutch, the word for burp is the same as the word for farmer. When someone burps, we say: geef die boer een stoel - give that farmer a chair.

3:31 am

mrpresident

boer! haha! almost the same word as pig

3:31 am

sprite

yay, Ks konkerred.

3:32 am

LoriP

"konkered" lolol

3:33 am

sprite

dutch for pig is varken :)

3:33 am

sprite

am sorry, Lori, Konkered it is.

3:34 am

sprite

konkerred would be agreed, right?

3:34 am

LoriP

Works for me

3:35 am

sprite

such an irkitating letter, that K

3:36 am

LoriP

I'm disignoritating the k. :D

3:39 am

hi Ata, how are you feeling today?

3:48 am

LoriP

G'd morning Ata hari, feeling better?

3:48 am

emtiandeca

Gran, I am stuck on the na7 too

3:48 am

Atalante

a good bit better, thankfully! just taken the pup for a nice walk, and now I'm putting off starting to ink a picture using my scary 0.18mm pen

3:49 am

Atalante

na7 - like plural Mrs Reagans

3:49 am

sprite

very good going, Ata. Putting off is an essencial part of getting better.

3:49 am

emtiandeca

thanks

3:49 am

sprite

brilliant, thanks Ata

3:50 am

Atalante

I hate my 0.18mm pen. it's sooooooo fine. and shows up ALL the wobbles!

3:50 am

LoriP

G'd morning emtian

3:50 am

LoriP

Well the don't wobble! :p

3:51 am

sprite

hi amtian

3:51 am

Atalante

yeah :P it's rather hard though when one of my meds makes my hands wobble :P

3:51 am

sprite

that was emtian, sory

3:51 am

LoriP

*** ducks ***

3:51 am

sprite

so actually you are not putting off work, Ata, you are rescheduling until a fitter time. In both ways.

3:52 am

Atalante

wimping out, really!

3:52 am

sprite

hehehe, part of my therapy is learning to re-label things in a better way. Wimping is not a better way. Rescheduling is.

3:53 am

Atalante

and a complete cop out LOL. I'm going to wait for half an hour, tea and breakfast will stop hands wobbling, then I'll get going with it!!

3:53 am

bfsog

hey all

3:54 am

LoriP

G'd morning bf

3:54 am

sprite

sounds like a plan. And it will be beautiful as ever, Ata.

3:54 am

sprite

hiya bfsog

3:54 am

bfsog

whats happening?

3:54 am

Atalante

we shall see :)

3:55 am

sprite

nothing much I hope

3:55 am

LoriP

Shivering. 2 freakin' degrees when I got up at 4 am. Now 6 am, and no warmer.....

3:55 am

hydra

Hiya. Guess I'm rescheduling too, then :)

3:55 am

sprite

hubby is taking daughter to her friend, she is gonna sleep over there. Then he is going to ca5 club. I am home alone :)

3:55 am

LoriP

G'd morning hydra

3:55 am

sprite

hiya hydra! Good going :)

3:56 am

sprite

poor Lori! That calls for extra warm socks, blankets and sweaters.

3:56 am

Atalante

*hands over hot tea*

4:02 am

Atalante

yay I broke the chat log!

4:02 am

sprite

lol

4:03 am

Atalante

ok, how is folic not accepted?

4:04 am

sprite

it is an enablistupidity

4:04 am

Atalante

ditto kois. silly dictionary

4:04 am

sprite

kois is logical. Japanese doesn't know plurals as english does. So koi is both singular and plural.

4:05 am

Atalante

it's accepted in scramble and they use the official scrabble dictionary :P

4:05 am

sprite

then scrabble is off :)

4:05 am

hydra

I agree. It's infuriating. I found a great 8 letter word once, perfectly acceptable English, and Enable threw it out.

4:06 am

Atalante

I think the idea is that its a Japanesse word, but officially a word in English now, therefore would obey english rules for plurals

4:06 am

sprite

yes, I think so too, Ata. Just wanted to show off.

4:07 am

Jacula

Morning all. *yawns*

4:07 am

sprite

morning Jac! Tea?

4:07 am

Atalante

you'll giggle at this, hydra. Every time I see you online I momentarily go O.O! Hydra met Marc Bolan. Someone that met Marc Bolan is online with me! Then I cringe and ignore my fangirling. LOL

4:07 am

Atalante

:D

4:07 am

Atalante

hi Jac!

4:08 am

hydra

Hi Jac! Couldn't take up your Scramble challenge as it wouldn't let me on the site.

4:08 am

Jacula

Yes please, Sprite. *gulp, slurp*

4:08 am

hydra

Oh Ata! I didn't realise you were such a fan. When I left Diamond Publishing, the boss made me hand over all my tapes of rock star interviews, including that one. I was gutted!

4:09 am

sprite

*puts teapot in reach of Jac*

4:09 am

Jacula

Hydra - that happens to me sometimes. It'll probably work later.

4:09 am

Atalante

*grins* I'm not really. He just reminds me more than any other "famous person" of when I was really young and those happy days!

4:09 am

Jacula

Ata - I loved Marc, too.

4:10 am

Atalante

and I *do* love his music

4:10 am

hydra

Ata, Marc was wonderful. Gentle, fey, poetic, a beautiful spirit. His wife kept stepping in and talking for him, though. I could have slapped her!

4:10 am

bfsog

is it just me or is there always some words that make it through to todays grid from yesterdays?

4:10 am

sprite

very often, bfsog

4:10 am

hydra

It's not just you, bf.

4:10 am

Atalante

My mum had 1 LP when I was very tiny. Is was T-Rex, so I actually think * thinks a bit* Marc Bolan is actually the first male face I ever remember seeing (cos mum was divorced when I was 1)

4:11 am

Jacula

June (wifey) used to stand in the wings looking fierce at concerts.:-(

4:11 am

Atalante

I think you are just very very lucky to have met him

4:11 am

hydra

Then you're imprinted with him! Yes, I was very lucky.

4:11 am

hydra

I think June was over=protective, but who could blame her?

4:11 am

Atalante

yes exactly :) he's been kind of a constant in my life from then on

4:12 am

Jacula

I guess you're right, Hydra.

4:12 am

sprite

can't be easy to have a famous husband.

4:12 am

Atalante

or famous wife! ask Guy Ritchie LOL

4:13 am

Jacula

LOL, Ata.

4:13 am

hydra

Depends whether you're content to live in his shadow. I wouldn't be! You either overcmpensate, like Victoria Beckham, trying to rival his fame, or you become his keeper, like June.

4:13 am

Atalante

or have a complete separate career where you are truly content

4:14 am

Jacula

Sharon and Ozzy seem to manage.

4:14 am

hydra

How many spouses of the famous have managed that, though? Too often there's a clash of needs and egos.

4:14 am

sprite

hydra to the sin bin ;)

4:14 am

hydra

Yes, you're right, Jac. Probably cos they don't compete in the same sphere.

4:15 am

hydra

What have I done?

4:15 am

Atalante

Tony and Cherie Blair. If he is catgorised as famous

4:15 am

Atalante

I think that's the key - don't compete. Each be happy and overlap where possible

4:15 am

hydra

Have I said a word? Oops! Sorry

4:15 am

Jacula

eg4, hydra.

4:15 am

sprite

you sinned, of course. eg4. And many related words, if you go for that kind of thing :D

4:16 am

hydra

Oh dear! Into the PB with me.

4:16 am

Jacula

Drat! Now she'll empty the chocolat fountain in there. :-)

4:16 am

Atalante

choc fountains are never ending

4:16 am

hydra

Tee-hee! *gulp, slurp*

4:17 am

sprite

and mutual trust and respect, I think, Ata. Both need to feel recognised for who they are.

4:17 am

hydra

Who left the bottle of champagne in there?

4:17 am

sprite

that was me, I stocked up pretty thoroughly last night, hydra. I had to send the entire chat to the PB before bed.

4:18 am

Atalante

champagne?! ooo *quickly types in grid words*

4:18 am

hydra

LOL :-))) *hic*

4:18 am

sprite

too late, Ata :) Hydra finished it.

4:19 am

Atalante

darn!

4:19 am

hydra

Shomeone menshun my name? Oops! Fell over.

4:19 am

sprite

aw well, ok. *puts in new bottle for Ata*

4:20 am

Jacula

*puts cushion under Hydra's head and a bucket by her side.*

4:20 am

Atalante

wooooot!

4:20 am

sprite

it was very good champagne. She will be fine, Jac.

4:20 am

Atalante

i'm sure I've said a grid word at some point today!

4:21 am

hydra

Thanks, Jac. ZZzzzzzzzzz *trump*

4:21 am

mrpresident

clue for the eg7 please?

4:21 am

sprite

you got a free pass, Ata, you need to heal up proper and this will help.

4:21 am

Atalante

awwww can you all hear Sily power-purring? I'm sure you should be able to

4:21 am

Jacula

Not so sure she will, sprite - with all that choc in her, too. She'll be liking a living Aero bar.

4:22 am

sprite

lolol Jac!

4:22 am

mattygroves

Mornin'

so that is what that sound was, Ata. Purrrrfect resonance.

Morning Matty.

Hi matty

hi matty

4:27 am

lol hydra, have fun :)

4:27 am

sprite

did you find it, mrP?

4:27 am

Jacula

Have a good time, Hydra. Don't forget to wear your fez! *grins*

4:28 am

Atalante

and ice cream!

4:28 am

hydra

And leave off the other garment? Teehee

4:28 am

Jacula

5:10 am

sandyloo

lol At, you could always use some of those suggestions for herin's hat last nite to glue a horn on

5:11 am

Atalante

hobbit's brother was really funny. he was longer-haired, and you could spray hair spray onto his head and make all sorts of funny hair styles

LoriP

6:07 am

LoriP

6:29 am

Atalante

in the cold, windswept shed, yep

6:29 am

FMitch

ah...we just have cold....fluctuating between sunny and rainy

6:35 am

crosshair

we used to have mamamutes..and it was impossible to make them indoor dogs as they secrete a musky oil that keeps them warm..they would rather play in a snowbank;)

6:35 am

crosshair

malamutes

6:36 am

Atalante

were they kept in a shed?

6:36 am

crosshair

not to mention they were about 175 pounds in weight

6:36 am

carleekat

I had one too...slept int he garage

6:36 am

lynxxx

They just want to be outside so they can kill any cats or possums that happen onto their territory! anything for food

6:37 am

crosshair

shed would be too small..a dog run or a large garage would be fine

6:37 am

carleekat

***not liking this grid***

6:37 am

LoriP

***what grid ***

6:37 am

crosshair

phantom word "encase"

6:38 am

though a shed,if done right would be great for some dogs

6:39 am

then henna the other to make a set;0

6:39 am

'Smears' About Obama Largely True

6:58 am

carleekat

Monday, October 20, 2008 9:32 PM

By: Lowell Ponte
Article Font Size

The Obama campaign says its candidate is a victim of "smears" — and has even created a Web site to fight such attacks.

But a Newsmax investigation finds many of the so-called smears are largely based in truth — and the Obama campaign uses half-truths, clever language, and ad hominem attacks to spin the facts.

Obama's www.FightTheSmears.com focuses mainly on anti-Obama messages being repeated on the Internet and talk radio, the only media where Obama's ideological allies are not dominant.

9:53 am

FMitch

HollyF

Thank you Haz, got it

Hello Katie!

9:59 am

9:59 am

Judi

Just went to Dunkin Donuts. Asked for a powdered donut, received a glazed. Language barrier. Sigh.

10:00 am

missbeeze

lol Judi

10:01 am

missbeeze

when you decide to eat a donut, you definitely want to get the right kind.

10:01 am

LoriP

neighbor dropped in for a sec. Nope, I have the 6/30 haz. Maybe a plural missed, which I'm famous for....

10:01 am

Judi

I at it anyway. Wasn't the same, though.

10:01 am

Judi

*ate*

10:02 am

kje

cake donuts are OK... otherwise, not really a fan

10:03 am

LoriP

Ack! Foiled by a latiny kinda' word. Poopy

10:04 am

KatieMcG

Krusty Kream donuts hmmmmmm

10:04 am

kje

2 ns left... was hoping for noogie and plural - LOL

10:04 am

LoriP

I tried it too, and was crushed it wasn't a word.

10:05 am

FMitch

HAven't had a domut for about 10 years :(

10:05 am

KatieMcG

Morrion's blueberry donuts are good, but KK ones are the best

10:05 am

Haz1558

You're possibly not missing anything except a great deal of fat and sugar.

10:06 am

harpjane

hello

10:06 am

KatieMcG

You can feel your arteries hardening in the KK queue but sometimes a little of what is bad for you is good :-)

10:06 am

missbeeze

best to stay away from those

10:06 am

harpjane

could someone clue the el6?

10:06 am

KatieMcG

Hi harp

Uneaixoise

10:09 am

pugmama763

Holly, have the one that registers quake levels? ;)

10:11 am

dcseain

Temporary Rd was made 20 years ago, as a temp truck route for constructing the Reston Town Center. VDOT came along, and gave it the name that was spraypainted on the fibreboard

10:11 am

pugmama763

my french is rather lacking, have another way to clue that please?

10:11 am

HollyF

That was it, thank you Lori

10:11 am

dcseain

there's an Ad Hoc Rd in Great Falls, VA, named afetr the ad-hoc committee of residents who could not decide on a name for their road when they were naming roads in this county back in 1967.

Yes! I can't wait to see the pictures. One of our officers who just came from the scene says the gun is almost fo6/27-ized.

I'm on vacation but I THINK it's Thursday

10:39 am

Haz1558

So, am I hard-hearted or too sensible? What do you make of someone who gets her workmates to sign a get-well card for her 8 week old puppy and then asks the vet to meet her after hours so she can get it to the puppy undergoing treatment in the surgery?

10:39 am

Vicuna

Yes. I think my unicorn must have been eaten by a wolf. =P

10:39 am

yes harp

10:40 am

Good grief, Haz!

Seems rather ott

10:40 am

Haz1558

Oh good. I'm not alone in being bamboozled.

10:40 am

Vicuna

Isn't 8 weeks a little too young for the puppy to be able to read the card yet?

10:40 am

kje

na7 - plural mrs reagan

10:40 am

Judi

That's a bit extreme. Unless the puppy can read, then it makes perfect sense. *rolls eyes*

10:40 am

Atalante

as if the puppy would get anything from a card!

10:40 am

kje

LOLOL vi

10:40 am

FMitch

Haha!

10:41 am

na7/32 - lots of Mrs Reagans. (Yikes!)

10:41 am

KatieMcG

tell me you made that up Haz, please!!!!!

10:41 am

Haz1558

It happened last weekend in the surgery - the other vet's wife dealt with her.

10:41 am

Haz1558

Spangle is fine. Wondering where her get well cards are but otherwise fine.

10:41 am

Atalante

yayyy :)

10:41 am

kje

i would not have met her after hours for that... she can come during normal hours and do whatever she likes... but that is ridiculous

10:42 am

Atalante

I should send her an e-card

10:42 am

Vicuna

Poor poor Spangle, not getting any get-well cards. DId you send her flowers, at least?

10:42 am

Haz1558

Katie - I didn't make it up. She also wanted the puppy to have a toy that had her and her husband's scent on it.

10:42 am

KatieMcG

we are si****** it as we speak :-)

10:42 am

Judi

Spangle's too famous to read her own fan mail. That's why she has you as her PA, Haz.

10:42 am

Haz1558

The compromise reached was that she left the card and the toy in a box at the back of the surgery. The next time the vet went in to check the animals was when it was delivered.

10:43 am

KatieMcG

And how was all this taken by said vet?

10:43 am

Atalante

and by the puppy? did it wee on them?

10:43 am

Vicuna

Did the puppy get miffed that it was improperly delivered?

10:43 am

Haz1558

Well, vet's wife was glad that it wasn't her husband who had spoken to the woman - and the vet who was dealing with the puppy is young and easy-going.

10:44 am

rururocks

Fuuuuuuunny kje.. thanks

10:44 am

Atalante

that has to go down in The Annals of Vet Life

10:44 am

KatieMcG

Lol Haz, I bet she was, days of chuntering would have had to be endured

10:44 am

Haz1558

Isn't it ridiculous? What I couldn't get over was that the work colleagues had signed the card.

10:44 am

kje

asg sent it, ruru... thought you'd like it

10:45 am

Vicuna

lol. They probably didn't dare refuse!

10:45 am

Atalante

how many work colleagues? did she canvas the whole office?

10:45 am

KatieMcG

She is probably their boss, either than or it was the quickest way of getting her to shut up about it

10:45 am

Vicuna

Much easier to si4 the thing than endure her outrage at their refusal.

10:45 am

Atalante

did she find Liam Neeson to askhim to si4?

10:46 am

KatieMcG

They all went home and said "you never guess what that tapped woman had us doing today"

10:46 am

Atalante

please tell me the puppy was called Foofoo or Flopsy or something cutesy

10:46 am

Haz1558

I don't know how many people signed it - must check if they still have it in the surgery.

10:46 am

rururocks

people who name their dogs foofoo should be taken out back and bludgeoned..

10:47 am

Haz1558

I don't know what the pup was called. Do you want to know the worst thing?

10:47 am

Atalante

oh *yes*

10:47 am

Vicuna

Lay it on us, Haz!

10:47 am

Haz1558

It died....

10:47 am

Atalante

noooooo! poor babe!

10:47 am

FMitch

No!

10:47 am

Vicuna

Oh, no!

10:47 am

Atalante

what was wrong with it?

10:48 am

KatieMcG

*wondering does it make me a very very bad person by laughing very hard at the moment?*

10:48 am

Haz1558

I know. I feel sorry for the puppy. I'm just hoping the woman doesn't ring up for counselling.

10:48 am

FMitch

The card crushed it it was so big

10:48 am

Vicuna

Poor woman! Somehow I don't think she'll be dealing with this well.

10:48 am

Haz1558

Parvo-virus - pretty difficult to treat in such a young animal.

Oh, dear. How very not James Herriot happy ending.

I"m guessing she does not have children

10:48 am

KatieMcG

*FM's comment makes katie spit lemonade on hubby's computer*

10:48 am

Judi

LOLOLOL, FM!!

10:48 am

Haz1558

Katie - I laughed as well because I had visions of elaborate funeral rites.

10:49 am

Atalante

reckon it'll get a Baileys wreath?

10:49 am

KatieMcG

Obviously I'm sorry for the puppy, but seriously what sort of life would it have been?

10:49 am

Vicuna

HArd to fit a lot of pall-beareers under a tiny puppy.

10:49 am

Haz1558

NO, it would have to be dog-shaped or bone shaped or something.

10:50 am

FMitch

*hands Katie tissues to wipe the screen*

10:50 am

harpjane

I'm also guessing she did not grow up on a ranch, where you fall in love with your animals and sell them at the fair....

10:50 am

KatieMcG

Can you imagine the misery the workmates are going through right now!!

10:50 am

Haz1558

I have to confess that they once had a Yorkshire terrier die in the surgery. A custom made coffin arrived and two vets did a ceremonial march past (behind closed doors!)

10:51 am

Atalante

oh wow

10:51 am

Vicuna

Or watch them all get run over on the highway. My husband grew up on a farm and they reminisce fondly about all their dogs... But it never occurs to them to keep it leashed, or indoors, or anything.

10:51 am

KatieMcG

Feeling hard hearted at leaving fuggy at the vets and not getting full state funeral for him!

10:51 am

Atalante

what sort of dog was the parvo dog?

10:51 am

Judi

What's next? A horse-drawn caison?

10:52 am

Haz1558

I don't know, Ata, I was just hearing the bare outline of the details from Kate this morning.

10:52 am

Vicuna

Katie, Katie, Katie. Now how will poor Fuggy face the other pets in heaven?

10:52 am

Atalante

bet it was a yorkie or - no - a bichon frise (*checks around for bichon*) or toy poodle

10:53 am

Atalante

or a *bedlington* (my worst insult for a dog)

10:53 am

Vicuna

Those things are not dogs, Ata! They are deformed sheep!

10:53 am

KatieMcG

better that than being dug up by one of the three kitties, that was my lo*** anyway! He can brag about the number of toys he had :-)

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

hi haz hi fm hi ata hi judi hi all

10:54 am

KatieMcG

Hi TO

10:54 am

Haz1558

The surgery used to use a crematorium for cremation of animals but changed when they once sent back the ashes of a cat - in husband's words there were enough ashes for a donkey... The receptionist had to empty some outside the door before giving a respectable amount to the cat owners who had come to collect the remains.

10:54 am

Atalante

they are. they are nasty and smelly and trembly and they make far too much noise (when I was trying to study for exams, next-door's bedlington pack used to constantly howl)

10:54 am

Atalante

oooops

10:54 am

Vicuna

Ahh well, Katie. I'm sure you raised him to hold his own with honest self-esteem.

10:55 am

KatieMcG

Was it ASGreen who was getting a new puppy on Sunday?

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL haz they charge a fortune here for cremation. the way i look at it, once you're gone, you're gone.

10:55 am

Atalante

yep the half labradoodle effort called Ringo

10:55 am

Judi

Well, at least they didn't empty out the bar-b-que and try to pass that off as kitty's remains.

10:55 am

Atalante

Haz (and everyone else) have you read Evelyn Waugh's "The LOved One"?

10:56 am

Vicuna

Hello, TO.

10:56 am

Vicuna

Not I, Ata.

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

oh yes.

10:56 am

Haz1558

I know, TO. But everyone has different ideas and you have to cater for them.

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

i need a laugh - just back from big bosses' office and it did not go well

10:56 am

Haz1558

No, Ata - have I missed out on a good read?

10:56 am

Judi

Uh oh, To. What happened??

10:57 am

Atalante

oh *yes*. you really should read it, it's sooooo wonderfully funny. It's set in an American pet crematorium

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

haz - i was sorely tempted. but i made myself think about it

10:57 am

KatieMcG

read back TO

10:57 am

Haz1558

TO, what part of the conversation did you come on on? Did you get the bit about the get well card for the doomed puppy?

10:57 am

Atalante

which sounds depressing, but its Waugh at his absolute brilliantest and funniest

10:57 am

Haz1558

I'll seek it out, Ata.

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

just i did not have inof and everyone is gone to a meeting and they left me home to deal with stuff that used to be my job but is no longer...

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

the filmis very very dry.

10:58 am

Atalante

there's an awful lot of over-the-top pet stories through it

10:59 am

Judi

Time for lunch. BBL.

10:59 am

Haz1558

When you hear some of my stories, maybe they don't seem so ott!

10:59 am

FMitch

Bye Judi

10:59 am

Haz1558

TO - from 10.39 - I think you'll laugh.

10:59 am

Atalante

exactly, I think you'll sympathise on a lot of levels

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

wait ata - didn't the film change it to humans?

11:00 am

Atalante

*gasp*

11:01 am

Atalante

Thus unfolds Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One: An Anglo-American Tragedy, his pitiless satire of Hollywood, America, and death. The plot centers on Dennis Barlow, a minor British poet, who comes to Hollywood commissioned to bring Percy Shelley's life to the big screen, but instead settles for employment at a pet cemetery called the Happier Hunting Ground. Life at the H.H.G. is rewarding: where else could one experience the satisfaction that comes from scattering the ashes of a tabby cat from an airplane over Sunset Boulevard?

11:01 am

72 Temple Owl

oh heck - get well cards for pets?

11:02 am

FMitch

That does sound like a good read Ata

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

ata google the film - it had jonathon winters - i think they changed it.

11:02 am

Atalante

he goes on to work with humans too, TO, but starts off with the pets

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

oh ok - thought i was having another unexplainable moment

11:04 am

Atalante

nope, not quite :) I cant imagine a film of that book though, the brilliance is all how Evelyn Waugh writes

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

it is dry to some. to ohteres it downright *thinking of suitable synonym to use in the queen's presence*....uh, er...

11:05 am

Atalante

Evelyn Waugh is very very dry English humour, even to English people

11:05 am

Haz1558

Waiting....

11:06 am

Vicuna

arid? sere? dessicated?

11:06 am

Haz1558

ca 6/21: ca = first 2 letters, 6 = number of letters in word, 21 = number of points in word

11:52 am

Book Doctor Gwen

phee, click on the tiny green link at the bottom for Lickety's Babble Clues

Lickety gives you the first two letters of each word, plus how many letters in the word, plus the word's point value

The point value sometimes helps you figure out if you need a word with a high-scoring letter in it, and things like that

11:52 am

Pheebers

Ohhhhhh! Thanks so much

11:52 am

LadyNatts

that's from the clues, pheebers... there's a list (link under Friends of Babble under the board) that gives you the first 2 letters and total number of letters in the word

11:52 am

Book Doctor Gwen

we use the same shorthand as lickety does, or should I say lickety do4

11:52 am

12:09 pm

LadyNatts

the circle of life... didn't cavemen grunt?

12:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i predict that terms like LOL will be in dictionaries very soon. hopefully a lot sooner that the non-word "alot" LOL

12:09 pm

crosshair

actuall now that i think of it,my boy does just grint..how wasy your day..fine..what did you do..nothin.....where are you going?..nowhere

12:09 pm

wildcat17

lol

12:09 pm

LadyNatts

hmmm... don't know how else to clue it... e + cut of meat with a silent consonant that's used when you si** a letter?

12:10 pm

Deeha

stuck on the na7 help please??!!

12:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

computers may yet "cure" english of a lot of its bad spelling, like who needs "enough" when "enuf" will do?

12:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

na7, a bunch of Mrs. Reagans

12:10 pm

crosshair

yes they did..but cavemen were actually trining to communicate..the kids are not

12:10 pm

crosshair

trying* even

12:11 pm

Deeha

spelling used to be phonetic - fonetik?!- in the Middle Ages

12:11 pm

LadyNatts

true, cross... but they text messages with expertise!

12:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

there is no evidence that cavemen grunted. however, they made very good wine.

12:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

english is a mongrel language (most are) but we have no system or committee to fix it. other languages do

12:11 pm

Deeha

Thanks for that I got the na1 Didnt know they had anything to do with Mrs R!!

12:12 pm

crosshair

I better turn this voice program back on it types better than I do now

12:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

every "spelling rule" in english has exceptions

12:13 pm

crosshair

Yes I find that this program uses the American spelling versus the British spelling

12:13 pm

crosshair

theater vs theatre for example

12:13 pm

crosshair

color vs colour

12:13 pm

LadyNatts

it uses both most of the time, cross... at least I find it to

12:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

THEATR. problem solved. lol

12:14 pm

Deeha

we have tyres on our cars!

12:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

or maybe THEETR. hmmmm

12:14 pm

crosshair

no i mean my speech to type prgram,not the babble program

12:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

TYERZ

12:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

don't mind me, i'm ranting about spelling in general

12:15 pm

LadyNatts

oh, I get it, cross. well... probably developed in the US

12:15 pm

LadyNatts

ever read "The Mother Tongue" BDG?

12:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i've read plies of stuff on spelling, but not sure if i read that. do you remember who wrote it?

12:16 pm

Deeha

I can usually spot a spelling mistake at 100 yards! I am a terrible snob when it comes to spelling - and pronunciation

12:16 pm

LadyNatts

sorry... "The Mother Tongue: English and how it got that way"

12:16 pm

LadyNatts

I don't recall offhand, but it should be googleable

12:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lady, nope, don't think i've read that. but i admit, i'm not so much interested in how as much as making some reasonbale changes to how we use it today

12:17 pm

LadyNatts

I'm like that too, Deha. Luckily I have got a career where I can exercise that fanatacism from time to time.

12:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

reasonable, i meant

12:17 pm

crosshair

and Douglas Adams follow up book, "the answer to the life universe and everything"

12:17 pm

crosshair

:)

12:18 pm

LadyNatts

oh, but it's a very well written book (and it does present some arguments for what you are saying)

12:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

used to an editor (despite my bad typing), so i can spell "correctly" if i want to. i just think "correct" spelling is a highly artifical construct that could stand some revision

12:18 pm

LadyNatts

actually, I found it hysterical. and I don't generally read non-fiction.

12:19 pm

crosshair

we are such a mixture of french and eglish with smatterings of other lings that there is no hope of a pure language anymore

12:19 pm

crosshair

english even

12:19 pm

Deeha

There are 5 copies - apparently - of Shakespeares signature and he spells it differently every time

12:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

deeha, exactly. the idea of "correct" spelling is less than 100 years old. and it's been a pain ever since LOL

12:20 pm

LadyNatts

what are you now, gwen?

12:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cross, i'm not talking about pure language, only reasonable spelling reform

12:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lady, i sell used books

12:21 pm

crosshair

hokt unn funnix wurkt fir mi..o know im just being a apin:/

12:21 pm

how far away from me are you? I have 20+ boxes of them.

12:21 pm

crosshair

mm i better let the speech program take over...im doing too many typos myself;(

12:21 pm

Deeha

Did you know - Michael Caine! - that an anagram of William Shakespeare is I am a weakish speller!!!

12:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no language is pure. if you go to any place where two languages meet, you will find a third language in between them. then go to the border of that and you find another one. there are no strict boundaries

12:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lady, i'm in farmington mich. do you want my phone number?

12:21 pm

wildcat17

finally got it lady ty

12:22 pm

12:22 pm

LadyNatts

lol wildcat!

12:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

"know." there's a fine example. what's that K doing in there???????

12:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lady, 78s are not my thing. but used book, yes!

12:23 pm

LadyNatts

I have old text books dating back to the early 1900s

12:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ack, i need a new keyboard. keep dropping letters

12:23 pm

crosshair

but something new in language is always evolving..did you know that untill the book "peter pan" was written the name "wendy" did not exist?

12:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lady, why? (i mean, why does anyone save old textbooks?) no, seriously, there are a few topics that might be of interest, but usually old textbooks have no market value

12:24 pm

LadyNatts

that's interesting, cross. I did not know that?

12:24 pm

crosshair

After training this program for about a month gwen i
hope to get rid of the keyboard completely

12:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lady, are you near me? if you said, i missed it

12:25 pm

It's true lady:)

12:25 pm

my mother is a packrat? these are readers...early books for schoolchildren at different levels of reading. collectors' items, I guess. good stories, though

12:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i see you ar ein alberta. that's a 3-day drive, sorry!

12:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lady, old readers are not collector's items, generally speaking. only certain series are.

12:27 pm

LadyNatts

lol gwen. I gathered we were at a distance (and shipping costs would be horrendous).

12:28 pm

LadyNatts

yeah, I'm not surprised, gwen. But, as I said, my mother was (is) a packrat. AND she was a teacher.

12:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you need to find a local dealer to show them to. just bring three or four with you. bring one in really good condition, and bring one that is in the worst condition, so dealer can "see" how bad they are

12:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

condition will have a great effect on value, so if they are scribbled in, or torn, broken, warped, stinky, etc, all that will lower value

12:29 pm

LadyNatts

here I have been chogging away about books, and I just realized I have 1 word left!

12:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

UNO for ladynatts!

12:29 pm

hmmm. 1. conceited; proud.
2. cheerful; merry.
Scottish, apparently... now what were we saying about language?

12:33 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi for a bit!

12:34 pm

MonkeyGames

Yay for you Lady!!!! I will not be finishing this evening. But such are the brdens we bear in this life, eh?

12:35 pm

LadyNatts

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks! That IS just silly!!!

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

He's had a bay-type keyboard for a while, but today in someone's I'm-moving-out-so-take-this-stuff-pil
e (a tradition here) I found him a Casio SA-65 synthesizer! He has already mastered selecting "tone" and then entering a random sequence to see what the keys sound like.

12:37 pm

LadyNatts

did you see the definition, cross? I posted it earlier.

12:37 pm

crosshair

a stogie gone awry

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

And he keeops playing Demo1 over and over, but now instead of a totally awful rendition of Jingle Bells we have an OK version of Ode to Joy!

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

That first post should say "baby type"

12:39 pm

LadyNatts

oh cool... so you have a future musician on your hands

12:39 pm

my in-laws wanted to buy my son a drum set when he was small.i agreed on the condition that it be stored at thier house and used there exclusivly:)

12:40 pm

LadyNatts

LOL cross... smart thinkin'

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Could be. My randfather is a child-prodigy and world famous folk singer who can play anything on anything, and it seems to have skipped a couple of generations... I have perfect pitch but no real aptitude... but if you track back through the genealogy, Walter's about due for the music.

12:40 pm

Good one, Cross!

12:42 pm

I had other family Issues and got mys baby brother sna sister (12 and 15 years younder than me) all the things mom wouldn't let me have, like an electric train set and , indeed, a drum set.

12:42 pm

MonkeyGames

Sna???? Am I having a stroke? AND!

12:42 pm

LadyNatts

I had to read it twice, but I understood, Monkey.

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Great, thanks! But, I mean, really!?!

12:43 pm

LadyNatts

you're just... enthused. I do that too, from time to time.

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

Been that kind of day. Had my last paid-for physio appt. today and he really went for it. Really don't want to start back on teh painkillers, so saw that I am entitled to 500 Euros in alternative care... should i go acupuncture or chiro[practy? Leaning toward acupuncture.

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

Things are swelling.

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

But I'm down 2 1/2 kilos in the last 10 days so that should help in the ong run... just 23 or so to go!

12:45 pm

LadyNatts

I've heard good things about acupuncture

12:45 pm

MonkeyGames

Applied for a job, too, after the past 19 months at an unpaid residency....

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

I have had good luck in the past with acupuncture.

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Sorry that I do ramble so. Again, that kind of day. And you folks here are my over-four social group.

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Lots of under-fours.

12:46 pm

LadyNatts

good luck? or good results? I was just talking to a co-worker the other day who said her therapist does both

12:47 pm

MonkeyGames

Oooh! Well, good results in my case, but ,aybe I should sjhop around to get the luck person...

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Once I had a headache that was UNBELIEVABLE. All I could do was lie on the bed and moan and pull hair oput. A friend told my husband she could get me in at the acupuncture school.

12:48 pm

LadyNatts

can I ask you, Monkey...? what is a job at an unpaid residency?

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

The instructor took one look at me, and asked if he could let students watch. Of course I said whatever, just fix it!

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Tell you after this story...

12:49 pm

LadyNatts

okay

12:50 pm

MonkeyGames

So all the students came in and the guy proceeded to make me look like that one from Hellraiser. Needles through the eyebrows, temples, you name it. Dozens of them. No change. The he said, "This is the one!" and stuck a needle straight through the bridge of my nose. That headache turned off like someone threw a switch and never came back. I swear that was SO goo I went synesthesic and heard the colrs singing briefly.

12:51 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, I am a third-year social work student. I get my Bachelors' in Feb. Meantime they don't have to pay you for your 1200 required hours of work experience. That is my unpaid residency. I have 60 hours left. Ihave applied for a job.

12:51 pm

LadyNatts

wow...I should tell my ex-co-worker friend about that... she is plagued by headaches all the time.

12:52 pm

LadyNatts

ah, I see. 1200 hours? that's excessive.

12:52 pm

MonkeyGames

Do tell her! It was quite an experience. My husband gets migraines but sadly needles send him into shock...#

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, it's pretty normal for this kind of degree here. But seeing as to how I am doing it in Dutch I am pretty darned burned out now...

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Dutch is HARD.

12:53 pm

LadyNatts

no doubt. Poor MG

12:54 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh, I'll get through it... always do. But thank you for the sympathy. I need all I can get (pathetic whimper...)

12:55 pm

MonkeyGames

Just need to make it to Feb. But it would beso nice to get this job in the meantime! We NEED the income.

12:55 pm

LadyNatts

you're welcome. but that's all you're going to get. no-one else is chogging.

12:56 pm

crosshair

mg reading back,your better off with accupuncture

12:57 pm

MonkeyGames

No, no, usually I rely on family for the sympathy. Just thanks is all. There was such a great job my friend thought she could get me at the WWII Jewish History Museum, but it wasn't suited to my education so I would have had to do it AND the residency and just cannot do that, not with a four-year-old.

12:57 pm

MonkeyGames

Yeah, I'm pretty adrned sure I'm going with the needles.

12:58 pm

crosshair

wife is on a amazing pill for her migraines..let me get the name for you.......

What was great about the museum job was that it was archiving, and verifying validity of archived materials. Fun, interesting, self-reliant, and a real break from casework...

OK, I will pass this on to our general practitioner, Cross, thank you!

Ah, c'mon, you make fewer typos than I do. Or is that commit typos?

1:03 pm

first our doc tried to offer us pills that cost 50 dollars each and you had to take them when you thought you were going to get a migraine..what a bunch of crap!

LadyNatts

Alberta, mg... that's in canada

1:06 pm

crosshair

alberta lol i can be there i 4 days lady:)

1:07 pm

LadyNatts

that's awesome, cross. No wonder I come here.

1:07 pm

MonkeyGames

I know where Alberta is. I wasn't always Dutch. Of course, I WAS a USian, so OK, maybe I could be expected to have no sense of geography!

1:08 pm

crosshair

lol @ U.S ian

1:08 pm

MonkeyGames

Cross, thanks for the link, but it just goes to the you-tube front apoge... what should I be looking for?

1:08 pm

LadyNatts

LOL ... I suspected you weren't always Dutch.

1:08 pm

crosshair

nothing important mg..was just sending you a jerry lee louis clip;)

1:08 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, seeing that I do have a sense of Geography, saying I used to be American means I could have been Canadian... or Mexican...

1:09 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, I'l track it down!

1:09 pm

LadyNatts

IF you said you were North American

1:09 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, true. Just American is Even Broader. So, I say USian.

1:10 pm

crosshair

can never be american.they deep fry oreos:/lol

1:10 pm

LadyNatts

so, just out of curiousity... where did you really grow up, MonkeyGee?

1:11 pm

MonkeyGames

California. Santa Cruz half the year, San Diego the other half.

1:11 pm

LadyNatts

do they really, cross? isn't that blasphemous?

1:11 pm

crosshair

if it isnt,it should be:)

1:12 pm

MonkeyGames

Dissing it is blasphemous, I think. America, love it or leave it, they say. And just WHERE am I?

1:12 pm

LadyNatts

and now you're in Holland... how did that happen?

1:13 pm

crosshair

we get dissed over poutine so...ce la vie;)

1:13 pm

oodleberry

I left it

1:13 pm

MonkeyGames

Political dissatisfaction 15 years ago. Been a long road, but here we are, Dutch citizens. Renouncing the US citizenship was fun. Walter was born Dutch.

1:13 pm

LadyNatts

thank you for making me laugh, cross.

1:13 pm

crosshair

mmm dutch chocolate...mmmmmm

1:13 pm

crosshair

np lady:)

1:14 pm

oodleberry

i don't know why poutine is so bad

1:14 pm

MonkeyGames

Despite what you may here, by the Blooker cocoa powder instead of the Droste.

1:14 pm

crosshair

laughter is the best medicine:)

1:14 pm

oodleberry

sorry where are my manners... hi everyone

1:14 pm

LadyNatts

well then, you're set. holland is much better than the U.S. anyway (far as I'm concerned)

1:14 pm

MonkeyGames

What the heck is poutine?

1:15 pm

oodleberry

french fries with sauce and cheese

1:15 pm

LadyNatts

OMG! you don't know poutine?!

1:15 pm

oodleberry

well I didn't before I moved here to quebec

1:15 pm

MonkeyGames

No, we just put mayo on them.

1:15 pm

crosshair

poutine is a amazing concoction mg..you take perfectly good french fries,then cover them in tons of melted cheese then cover it all in steaming gravy

1:16 pm

oodleberry

here it is the cheese curds

1:16 pm

LadyNatts

poutine: french fries with savoury gravy and semi-melted cheese curds (sometimes mozzarella, sometimes cheddar, sometimes both)....

1:16 pm

MonkeyGames

That sounds just AWFULLY yummy. I will check it out after the next 23 kilos.

1:16 pm

crosshair

same here..can substitute and cheese type though

1:16 pm

oodleberry

here you get a quizzical look

1:17 pm

crosshair

when your heart stutters..stop eating it immediatly

1:17 pm

MonkeyGames

Me?

1:17 pm

LadyNatts

I just dreamed the other night about a "poutine baked potato" ... does anyone do that yet?

1:17 pm

oodleberry

but because of the sauce base of flour I can't eat it

1:17 pm

crosshair

yes lady it called a stuffed potato;))

1:17 pm

MonkeyGames

Do you have Celiac's (sp?)?

1:18 pm

oodleberry

no

1:18 pm

oodleberry

I can have oats and barley but just no wheat

1:18 pm

MonkeyGames

That is an allergy to wheat so I wondered. I think you could base the gravy on non-gluten rice flour or on water chestnut flour, which I use a lot.

1:19 pm

crosshair

you can indeed mg

1:19 pm

oodleberry

i am learning how to be CAnadian but I don't like hockely and I can't eat poutine... um man I am going to be a weak CAnadian

1:19 pm

MonkeyGames

Water chestnut flour is the secret way Chinese restaurants get the sauce that silky texture.

1:20 pm

crosshair

just get hooked on bacon ,maple syrup and football then;))

1:20 pm

oodleberry

yes I couldn't make it myself but it's not the same as yummy commercial junk food hee hee hee hee

1:20 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, well, I don't like raw herring and don't care much about football.... Buttulips are nice.

1:21 pm

LadyNatts

raw herring would be hard to swallow (I could probably take pickled though)

1:21 pm

MonkeyGames

You would think but now that I have been cooking for a while my friends would rather come here for Chinese than go to a restaurant.

1:21 pm

oodleberry

like bacon and maple syrup not a big sports fan

1:21 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, it is lightly piuckled... usually...

1:21 pm

oodleberry

2 out of 3 aint bad eh?

1:21 pm

crosshair

then try fishing or nature phtography:)

1:22 pm

crosshair

crossy blows chunks at the thought of raw pickled herring:(

1:22 pm

MonkeyGames

Yeah, tell me about it. Thing is, I can stand it kind of... except ALLLLL the small bones.

1:23 pm

oodleberry

I like moose and beaver though and when I work a year here I will be moving west... Calgary I would prefer

1:23 pm

crosshair

anyways ladies,time for me to go hose down this mass of muscle and get to work:) tc all

1:23 pm

LadyNatts

bye cross!

1:23 pm

oodleberry

man here :-)

1:24 pm

crosshair

sorry oodle....poof!

1:24 pm

oodleberry

bbye

1:24 pm

MonkeyGames

Have a god day, Cross! Stay well!

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

Was pretty sure about that, Oodle, but on the basis of zero info.

1:25 pm

LadyNatts

I'm outa here too... can't think straight for the headache I have. oodleberry, WELCOME. I like moose (never tried beaver). And Calgary stinks. Come to Edmonton.

1:26 pm

oodleberry

is the reason why the netherlands speaks either dutch or english because it was an english colony?

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

Hang in there and nurse that headache, Lady! Nice chatting with you... Have as good a day as possible!

1:26 pm

oodleberry

no no not to eat

1:27 pm

oodleberry

that's too funny ok ok we WERE talking about food

1:27 pm

MonkeyGames

It wasn't really. OK, William was English, but it's alays been kind of different here. No, Most Dutch people spoeak Duytch, French, English, and German.

1:27 pm

MonkeyGames

We are the only place in Western Europe the Romans left. They came, they built forts, they described it as dismal and boggy, they left.

1:28 pm

oodleberry

wow a very language friendly country... my kind of country

1:28 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, House coming on! Bye!

1:29 pm

oodleberry

ok who is left then

1:32 pm

I'm here - just popped in!

1:41 pm

rururocks

1:42 pm

AsGreen

1:42 pm

AsGreen

oops, Ringo

1:44 pm

AsGreen

I just tried another update, still not showing for me.... :(

1:49 pm

kje

asg - I see your old family photo now... no longer a black box

1:49 pm

Judi

Afternoon, all. Uh, AsGreen, is your dog black? Really black?

1:49 pm

kje

1:50 pm

kje

damn, missed her

2:04 pm

wildcat17

hello

2:04 pm

wildcat17

2:15 pm

kje

2:19 pm

MonkeyGames

I'm on for about four minutes... I have missed all the details but think AsGreen has been having some sort of weird computer gremilin surrounding her icon today. Although I could have that wrong. I've been on very sporadically.

2:21 pm

jillibus

hi -- which say sarah palin video, kje?

2:22 pm

MonkeyGames

Hey kje, potentially useful but you probably already know it.... A good friend of mine who walks his dog when I walk ours and tehy play is 78. He said his doctor has told him that playing sudoku can keep you sharper longer because it enocurages memory and performance at the same time. Anyway, House bak on, bye again folks!

2:22 pm

jillibus

hello everyone

2:22 pm

jillibus

bye monkey

2:25 pm

AsGreen

Sorry, I'm here now... phone and drama

2:26 pm

jillibus

hi AS at last!

2:26 pm

jillibus

drama?

2:26 pm

AsGreen

my recommendation - don't be a SAHM - too much drama between catty moms!

2:27 pm

jillibus

my chances of being a SAHM are negligible, lol

2:27 pm

AsGreen

so and so wasn't invited to this bday party, and yada yada yada!

2:27 pm

jillibus

2:29 pm

kje

nah... it will straighten itself out eventually...

2:29 pm

jillibus

oops -- sorry -- crossed msgs

2:29 pm

kje

you just need to come up with a really cool reason you have a black box...

2:30 pm

kje

like... this empty box represents someone's brain... to remain nameless...

2:30 pm

kje

or this black box represents the debt the current administration has driven our economy into

2:31 pm

kje

or the black box represents my knowledge of the inner workings of an atom

2:31 pm

jillibus

ty kje -- I had seen that goodie -- thought you wrote SAY, not HEY!

2:31 pm

AsGreen

I'm sorry - the phone again!! LOLOL

2:31 pm

kje

OK, asg... I will soon start taking this personally when everytime i am talking to you, you disappear... : )

2:32 pm

AsGreen

kje, I'm here I'm here! but I have to soon!

2:32 pm

kje

you have to sson what?

2:32 pm

AsGreen

go, that is

2:32 pm

kje

this black box represents asg's command of the neglish language

2:32 pm

AsGreen

neglish? LOLOL

2:33 pm

jillibus

I'm not much good at neglish either

2:33 pm

kje

3:10 pm

kje

i had my bag stolen once in antibes, josh... quite the adventure... my fave was discussing the TV show Dallas with the cops at the police station... they kept impersonating JR.. and this was just a few years ago, so i guess that show is still shown over there... egads

good evening everyone. how was everyones day?

4:24 pm

bichon

most excellent, thank you. Beautiful fall day in New England. Spent lots of it in the woods with Biscuit

4:24 pm

redturtlehead

sound perfect!! did you have apple cider?

4:25 pm

bichon

I sure did. It was sweet!

4:25 pm

redturtlehead

wow quintessential day!

4:26 pm

bichon

Can't ask for better. Cold, November weather will be here soon and I want to take advantage of it. After the romp in the woods, I baked a pumpkin sour cream bread

4:27 pm

JBV

hi, everyone, enjoying that day in the woods vicariously, bichon -

4:28 pm

redturtlehead

Still hot hot hot here.

4:28 pm

bichon

Retirement is wonderful. The economic signs say no, the heart says yes

4:28 pm

bichon

Where are you red, in FL?

4:28 pm

JBV

we have beautiful fall weather here too, around 50 degrees today, leaves are beautiful, but of course when you're just looking out the window at the trees

4:28 pm

redturtlehead

Hi JBV.

4:29 pm

redturtlehead

I am right outside of Orlando, working in East Orlando.

4:29 pm

JBV

hi, red

4:29 pm

redturtlehead

How are you and Hubby JBV?

4:29 pm

bichon

I really need to have fall and spring, not just warmer and cooler. The sacrifice is winter

4:30 pm

redturtlehead

I'm liking it a lot, I hate winter so much. It is colder here now, but not like up north.

4:30 pm

JBV

thanks for asking red - we are in the middle of what looks like another ordeal for him, right now still making the rounds of doctors to get the right diagnosis and course of treatment, but he will be facing another surgery soon

4:31 pm

Oh No. How is he holding up through that? How are you holidng up? I always get exhausted from any MD visits.

4:32 pm

JBV

it is very stressful - just making the appointments, getting the referrals and dealing with the insurance is a headache, then the endless tests, then the news that the doctors are giving us...

4:33 pm

JBV

oh, and did I mention that I am also doing nursing duty at home? (that's why I said a while back that I praise and celebrate nurses who make their living this way - I have the highest admiration for nurses)

4:33 pm

redturtlehead

do you have confidence in the doctors?

4:34 pm

JBV

well, you've hit on another source of stress, red, - we're seeing so many and nobody is really sure what to do - it's very complex..

4:34 pm

redturtlehead

is there a good med center that you are using?

4:34 pm

JBV

my husband is very private and most of our friends and even family don't know what he is going through so thank you, babble friends, for being there for me

4:35 pm

redturtlehead

the docs should do a conference tpgesther with you

4:35 pm

JBV

yes, Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center, New Brunswick, NJ

4:35 pm

redturtlehead

ask for something like a family conference...

4:35 pm

JBV

thanks for mentioning that, so far they say they are talking to each other, but we have not had a conference together

4:35 pm

bichon

That's Rutgers, right?

4:36 pm

redturtlehead

it usyally for really sick people in icu, but they should all get on same page.

4:36 pm

JBV

bichon, Rutgers is in New Brunswick but it's not associated with the Medical Center

4:37 pm

redturtlehead

You might also ask for a "social work" consult which will horrify your husband, you dont need Social work perse, but the ones employed by the hospitals are really helpful at navigating things.

4:37 pm

bichon

Are there specialist there who work on whatever is your hubby's ailment?

4:37 pm

bichon

I've spoken with lots of social workers regarding my mother's cancer. They've been helpful

4:38 pm

JBV

sounds like you know him, red, :) (or his type, at least) - he doesn't even like having the visiting nurse come once a day but we need her to do dressing changes while i'm at work

4:38 pm

JBV

I agree, bichon, these are good suggestions, I will work on him to agree

4:39 pm

redturtlehead

remind him JBV that in this economy the nurse needs a job, and she probably looks forward to seeing him since he is not a winey butt.

4:39 pm

bichon

I moved Mom up to CT from FL. The doctors in her area were clueless. They wanted to perform surgery on the tumor without even delving into her cardiac problems

4:39 pm

JBV

right! actually he's enjoying their conversations - seems she's a rabid Obama fan!

4:40 pm

JBV

after much experience, my husband has come to the conclusion that "surgeons surge" - meaning it's their job to cut, so that's what they do

4:40 pm

hurshy

*grumble grumble*

4:41 pm

JBV

hi, hurshy, i've been grumbling too, so join the club

4:41 pm

redturtlehead

Surgeons indeed do surge, your husband is so right.

4:41 pm

redturtlehead

But if you can sell the SW as a navigator or concierge if you will, it could help.

4:42 pm

JBV

without revealing too much (in deference to hubby's wishes) - his case involves a colo-rectal surgeon, urologist, orthopedic surgeon (for osteomyelitis)

4:42 pm

redturtlehead

JBV is your Husband for McCain?

4:43 pm

JBV

oh, no - he is for Obama, so they are of like mind

4:43 pm

hurshy

i ordered some large items to be delivered to the office. i told them the address of our building. somehow they instead delivered it to yale's central receiving, even though that's not what's done, ever. some dunderhead signed for it, without wondering "hmm, this is large and heavy, perhaps i should send the fellow to deliver it where it needs to go" AND without notifying me, the actual recipient, that he HAD signed for it.

4:43 pm

JBV

red, how do I go about contacting the social worker , do I have to wait until he is a patient in the hospital?

4:43 pm

redturtlehead

excellent. I had a patient ask me if I was an Obama girl or a McCain girl... I was afraid to answer!

4:44 pm

redturtlehead

I dont think so JBV. he's got an ongoing relationship.

4:45 pm

bichon

The social worker came to see us when we were at the Cancer Center seeing the radiation therapist and Thoracic Surgeon for the first times

4:45 pm

redturtlehead

You have a few options. Call the Hospital Operator and ask to speak to Social Work... or Ding ding, bright idea, call and ask if he has a Case Manager- which is a Nurse who reviews charts and makes sure pt meet criteria etc...either one is a good resource...

4:46 pm

bichon

I used to be a case worker, so I was really open to it. It think the social workers really want to do everything they can to make the experience less burdensome

4:46 pm

redturtlehead

Or you can call the office...of the one he sees the most.

4:47 pm

redturtlehead

and they will point you in the right direction. Its a lot to deal with, and I think your huband would rather involve generic hospital people than say, your neighbour or pastor...

4:47 pm

JBV

that sounds good - no one here has mentioned it all, though. thanks for all your info

4:48 pm

redturtlehead

SOmetimes you have to ask for a little help with stuff...

4:49 pm

JBV

you are so right, red - I have been thinking that I also need to talk to someone just for myself - without letting him know how worried and stressed out I am, too

4:50 pm

redturtlehead

Yes JBV....especially with the caregiving you are now doing, which is not what your "signed up for"

4:51 pm

JBV

red, I have learned more than I ever wanted to know about wound care - but I know he would walk through hell for me, so we are in this together

4:52 pm

redturtlehead

Well, wound care is not my favorite thing, so I can empathize a bit with you!

4:53 pm

JBV

I also learned that there are nurses who specialize in wound care - how do people make such a decision?

4:53 pm

redturtlehead

My Aunt did it. I don't know, but often the opportunity comes with greater pay better hours etc...

4:56 pm

redturtlehead

but my aunt is a horrible little woman.

4:56 pm

JBV

oh, there goes my theory about nurses as angels LOL

4:56 pm

JBV

I guess there are all kinds in every profession

4:57 pm

JBV

I had a conversation today with my co-workers about some teachers we know who really don't seem to like children -

4:57 pm

nancethefan

hey & hugggggggsssssssss y'all

4:58 pm

JBV

hi nance

4:58 pm

JBV

back to solving - I need 73 words

4:58 pm

nancethefan

is the grid friendly or mean today?

4:59 pm

JBV

some strange words here, nance and it's slow going for me

4:59 pm

redturtlehead

Oh JBV, we are regular people. I am sometimes completely indifferent to my patients, they get cared for...but...I wouldnt remember them 2 hours later.

4:59 pm

squidgy82000

it is a horrible grid

5:00 pm

nancethefan

well that means slow going for me also

5:00 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Squid....it's a so-so grid in my opinion. started off fast but got slow quick.

5:01 pm

redturtlehead

but for the most part, I find people interesting. so I usually end up talking to them and asking a bunch of questions...

5:02 pm

nancethefan

lol red

5:03 pm

nancethefan

ok - i'm going in

5:05 pm

lil*monkey

*sigh* 72 left and it's like pulling teeth

5:05 pm

JBV

red, do you have a specialty in nursing - I mean, do you always work in one department of a hospital?

5:06 pm

redturtlehead

I do JBV, I am only an Emergency/Trauma Nurse. i actually dont know how to do anything else.

5:07 pm

JBV

and how did you choose that, if I may ask?

5:07 pm

katya

only? trauma nurses deal with people at their lowest and at their worst, you are NOT only a trauma nurse to some people you are their saviour

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

I have 70 left Monkey, and Hello!!!

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

TY katya.

5:07 pm

JBV

ditto, katya

5:08 pm

redturtlehead

I started working as an aide in an ED and then after that I foudn anywhere else was boring. We get to see and do all sorts of cool stuff...

5:08 pm

lil*monkey

why isn't "assie" a word

5:08 pm

redturtlehead

though it can be too busy. I just started my new contract this week and I will be seeing the dept tomorro and I am nervous...its a really busy place.

5:09 pm

JBV

and I guess every day is different, since you never know what is going to come in next

5:09 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I never really know what my day will be like..I am rarely bored. heck, some days I can't go to the bathroom.

5:10 pm

JBV

I have a high stress job, too, but fortunately it does not involve life and death crises

5:11 pm

redturtlehead

Most of the time, my job involves people who have abdominal pain, luckily. :)

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

also good my job does not depend on my solving this grid. Eeek!

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

Monkey do you have the go** dancers???

5:15 pm

lil*monkey

yes, red :O

5:15 pm

JBV

there are some people who actually work on the grid while they are at work! I do a few minutes in the a.m., then come back in the evening to finish

5:16 pm

JBV

eg 7?

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

I used to do that at one hospital which was not very busy...

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

I have no 7's yet.

5:16 pm

lil*monkey

i'm on the road, so i can't Babble during the day

5:17 pm

nancethefan

iles is a word isn't it?

5:17 pm

JBV

5:18 pm

nancethefan

5:19 pm

redturtlehead

Or a kind of wooden stick for fire the fa 6 TY I thought it was a phantom

5:19 pm

lil*monkey

*singing loudly* Hey nance, drop your pants!

5:19 pm

nancethefan

ut o - no dropping of the pants here - lol

5:20 pm

phandmd

I thought the FA 6 was a cigarette

5:20 pm

lil*monkey

phand, i think Brits use the first 3 letters as slang for a cig

5:20 pm

nancethefan

that's what my dad called cigs

5:21 pm

nancethefan

the 4 letter word that is

5:21 pm

redturtlehead

heres the more words def thats less offensive.

5:21 pm

redturtlehead

A bundle of twigs, sticks, or branches bound together.
A bundle of pieces of iron or steel to be welded or hammered into bars.

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

this grid feels like the letters are all in the wrong places.

5:26 pm

nancethefan

i'll second that emotion

5:27 pm

lil*monkey

5:28 pm

Uneaixoise

8:19 pm

pam

when I was in High School, someone from NYC medical school came to talk us... He was asked about college and what to major in, Kje. He said history and english---medicine was about making decisions and ethics and doctors need context and enhanced thought. The science can be had in Med school. This was some 30 years ago, and I remember it, 8-)

8:19 pm

kje

it is interesting, pam... i think these issues were more of a dilemma for docs before me... even in medschool we already had cases re: right to die, so we "grew up" in the environment where obeying a pt's wishes was common... so the students are like... duh, of course she should be able to refuse treatment

8:19 pm

kje

as + si4

8:21 pm

Pinikula

thx kje

8:21 pm

jillibus

McGill also stressed a rounded education before Med school back in the 40s

I'm in dallas... it is a pretty religious group... but they just accept this... very small part of the right to life group actually think it applies in end-of-life care... and obvious exclusions for death penalty... seems mostly focused on abortion unless they are catholic

8:26 pm

Hi Pink. Keep going, I don't want to interrupt your word finding roll.

9:53 pm

Jacula

9:53 pm

Pinikula

* perk * Holiday? which one?

9:54 pm

Pinikula

9:55 pm

Jacula

Our late 'summer' holiday at half-term. LOL. Going to North Devon (Westward Ho!) again.

9:55 pm

Pinikula

* giggle * a big celebration?

9:56 pm

Jacula

Only baked goods I've been making - cereal bars, flapjacks, Devil's Food Cake. I've spoiled my family and step family re buying shop cakes etc. They all prefer home-made.

9:57 pm

transitionguy

se 5/10, 14. the ones at the bottom of the se's.

9:57 pm

Jacula

No celebration, Pink, just a holiday.

9:57 pm

Pinikula

how fun, jacula!

9:58 pm

Pinikula

se5/10 = se + dbl cons + vowel

9:58 pm

Jacula

trans - se5.10 = another way of spelling 'to grab or grasp'.

9:59 pm

Jacula

se5/14 following = currency of the Congo. se + consonant + USA soldier.

9:59 pm

transitionguy

pini, got that one

9:59 pm

Pinikula

10

9:59 pm

Pinikula

sorry, smiles...

9:59 pm

following se5/10 = red hair dye.

10:01 pm

Jacula

Hi Pav.

10:01 pm

Pinikula

na7 = many mrs regans

10:01 pm

Jacula

na7 = more than one Mrs. Reagan.

10:01 pm

Pinikula

so much for my spelling

10:01 pm

Pinikula

(must be the monkeys)

10:02 pm

Jacula

Yeah, they skipped the first 'a', pink.

10:02 pm

Pinikula

8

10:03 pm

Pinikula

I know...*sigh*...it's been awhile since I've written the word ;)

10:03 pm

Jacula

LOL

10:03 pm

Pinikula

7

10:03 pm

Pinikula

vo5?

10:04 pm

Jacula

It's a brand of medicated shampoo. LOL

10:04 pm

Pinikula

vofive is not in the grid! lol

10:04 pm

Jacula

Seriously, vo5 = 'in fashion' word with different penultimate vowel.

10:05 pm

PAV3

I don't understand?...why that word...is it a word? well fa6 shouldn't be a word...and neither should na7..this was not a kind grid today....

10:05 pm

Pinikula

great clue! thx!

10:05 pm

Pinikula

6

10:05 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Hi y'all....do need fa6-39 please? Thanks

10:05 pm

Jacula

It's a Scottish word with varous meanings. Can be proud or can be merry.

10:06 pm

Pinikula

fa = british cigarette + he *** served

10:06 pm

PAV3

hi Peach..it's the f word that Hollywood doesn't tolerate...and neither should we...

10:06 pm

Pinikula

5

10:07 pm

Jacula

fa6/39 has many meanings in UK - meatball, piece of small firewood, homosexual to name but a few.

10:07 pm

PAV3

weel I guess Babble is mostly English?

10:08 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thank all. and yes, PAV, I agree with you.

10:08 pm

PAV3

off to find a unicorn...more peace in the world...food...

10:08 pm

transitionguy

new clue, se 5/10 that doesn't have double cons

10:09 pm

Jacula

fa6/39 is also a bundle of iron bars and a type of needlework.

10:09 pm

Jacula

se5/10 rhymes with red hair dye he word. It's a laxative pod.

10:09 pm

transitionguy

that is i need a nw clue for that SE!

10:10 pm

transitionguy

we have that SE! the other one!

10:10 pm

transitionguy

please!

10:11 pm

Jacula

PAV - I don't see how it's mostly English when it uses and American dictionary. Having said that, the dictionary is very loose about allowed words in many languages: English, French, Scottish, Spanish to name but a few.

10:12 pm

Jacula

se5/10 I clued is the only one with a doubled consonant in the middle.

10:12 pm

transitionguy

yes, jac, do you have the other se 5/10?

10:13 pm

Jacula

The se words (the 5's) are se5/14, se5/10, se5/14, se5/10.

10:13 pm

Pinikula

se + alt spelling of frozen water

10:13 pm

Jacula

Yes, I clued it for you - another spelling for 'to grab or to grasp'.

10:14 pm

transitionguy

i need the se 5/10 before the second 5/14

10:14 pm

Jacula

No pink.

10:14 pm

Jacula

Or maybe.

10:14 pm

transitionguy

ty, jac

10:14 pm

PAV3

transition..extend the se4 4 preceding it

10:15 pm

Jacula

If you grab power, you se* (high point tile)* it.

10:16 pm

Jacula

Glad you got it, trans.

10:16 pm

Jacula

Pink - what's your word countdown now?

10:17 pm

Pinikula

5

10:17 pm

PAV3

yeah, Jac..just murmuring...if we teach and spread tolerance to all sorts of folks who aren't in the mainstream anywhere, and who don't cause harm to others, we can eliminate the derogatory words from any vocabulary and dictionary...IMHO

10:18 pm

Jacula

True, Pav, but the fa word isn't derogatory in most cases in English.

10:18 pm

jillibus

10:35 pm

Pinikula

10:35 pm

10:43 pm

Jacula

...Anyway, there i was earlier today, clad from shoulder to toes in clingy black velvet, sporting 5 leather Goth studded wristbands and a silver skull bracelet, black fishnet tights, black crucifix and red cut-throat beads. I hadn't even got as far as doing the red and black eye make-up and the blood red lipstick bit, not to mention painting my talons black and blood red... then my Mum phoned. LOL. I was trying my costume for tonight out.

10:44 pm

Jacula

na7 = more than one Mrs. Reagan.

10:44 pm

phandmd

10:47 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have a clue for lo6-30? Thanks

10:47 pm

Pinikula

10:47 pm

Pinikula

lo6/30 = wood + ** Joe + vowel

10:47 pm

Pinikula

hi phan

10:48 pm

Jacula

lo6/30 is an Italian word for a place open on one side at the least.

10:48 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Thanks y'all

10:48 pm

Jacula

Sounds like a cosy sort of word for 'a woody'. LOL

10:49 pm

Pinikula

I think I'm off to play srabble...bbiab

10:50 pm

Jacula

Did I mention that the doorbell also rang when I was in my vamp outfit? I didn not answer; it was only a rep. from some firm or other.

10:50 pm

Jacula

Have I cleared the chatlog? Oh LOL.

10:51 pm

tygerbryght

hey, peeps

10:51 pm

Jacula

Hello tyger. How are you doing with the grid?

10:52 pm

tygerbryght

I finished several hours ago, a bit late for dinner as a result

10:52 pm

Jacula

Aw, happens to us all at times, Tyger.

10:52 pm

tygerbryght

and how are you this AM (your time)? :)

10:52 pm

phandmd

well, I just finished, now I am off to bed

10:53 pm

tygerbryght

sweet dreams, phan

10:53 pm

phandmd

thanks

10:53 pm

tygerbryght

especially as I'd decided that I wanted a fish sammitch, which I had to cook; couldn't nuke

10:54 pm

tygerbryght

so it was nearly 9pm my time - between 60 & 90 minutes later than I like to eat

10:54 pm

tygerbryght

I don't have a rigid schedule :D

10:54 pm

Jacula

Anyway, I seem to have offended some partsof USA with my chat about my dressing up for tonight's show. I'm fine, tyger. We're off on hol on Saturday but have a couple of nights out in between, so I've been busy until the early hours. How about you? What have you been up to?

10:55 pm

tygerbryght

tonite's show??

10:56 pm

tygerbryght

I caught your description of what sounded like a Mrs. Addams costume, I thought?

10:56 pm

Jacula

A show me and Beloved are off to see later, Tyger. A comedy rock horror called 'Vampires Rock'.

10:56 pm

tygerbryght

I'm not easily offended, if you were wondering, even if I am rather conservative (by the standards of many Babblers, it would seem)

10:57 pm

tygerbryght

Ah. and you're dressing up, much as people do to go see the Rocky Horror Show?

10:57 pm

Jacula

Exactly, tyger, and I did say that before in the chog.

10:58 pm

tygerbryght

if you and I are the only ones here, I may tell you the Halloween joke my son told me the other day. It's offensive 2 different ways - to the PC, and to many Xians

10:58 pm

Jacula

However, apart from the fishy sandwich, what else have you been doing, Tyger?

10:58 pm

Jacula

Yes, you may tell it to me, Tyger.

10:59 pm

tygerbryght

not much, jac. I can't legally drive right now. When I went in last month to renew my license, they said because I use a walker, I have to prove my competence to drive. I have a driving test (FINALLY) next Monday

11:00 pm

tygerbryght

I've been very frustrated, and rather upset, even though I don't do much driving

11:00 pm

tygerbryght

it's the whole idea. What does a walker have to do with my brain or my reflexes? (rhetorical, of course)

11:02 pm

tygerbryght

I've yet to see or even hear of an Alzheimer's patient who wasn't physically healthy :(

11:02 pm

Jacula

I'm not sure, to be honest, Tyger. I stopped driving about 10 years ago when I realised I din't enjoy it in urban areas.

11:02 pm

tygerbryght

I prefer not to drive in the city, but I don't live in the city

11:02 pm

Jacula

You have Alzheimer's, Tyger?

11:03 pm

tygerbryght

no, of course not! LOL

11:03 pm

tygerbryght

but the point is, they're not using a good screening method

11:03 pm

rururocks

well you could meet new people everyday..that way

11:04 pm

tygerbryght

hey, ruru

11:04 pm

Jacula

LOL, Tyger.

11:04 pm

Jacula

I meant LOL, ruru. Sorry.,

11:04 pm

rururocks

hey to

11:05 pm

Jacula

Black humour abounds in the families of Alzheimer victims.

11:05 pm

rururocks

old joke sorry..

11:05 pm

Jacula

As it does in the victims of many mental illnesses, i.e. anorexia etc.

11:05 pm

tygerbryght

my aunt (father's sister) had it, but Aunt Eileene had a rather difficult life, and was ... how shall I put it? ... a wounded soul

11:05 pm

rururocks

It is kind of a risky joke area nowadays

11:06 pm

rururocks

we have a few friends that have suffered from it...

11:06 pm

rururocks

it is a horrible disease.

11:06 pm

Jacula

Ruru - Not amongst those who have been through it, it's not. Unless they're very 'precious'.

11:06 pm

tygerbryght

I've had a difficult life, but I think I'm fairly well integrated, emotionally, and don't feel like a victim

11:07 pm

rururocks

you are one cool soul TO..

11:07 pm

tygerbryght

oh, I agree, ruru. first time I visited my aunt (after I reconnected with family), the only thing I recognized was her eyes - and her kids had stopped visiting her

11:07 pm

Jacula

If you can't laugh, then all is lost.

11:07 pm

rururocks

I hear you jac.. so true..

11:08 pm

tygerbryght

who, ruru?

11:08 pm

rururocks

I joke about everything and find myself on thin ice from time to time

11:09 pm

rururocks

who about what TO?

11:09 pm

tygerbryght

you're addressing me as TO??

11:10 pm

rururocks

Ooops mean tyger.. so used to Temple owl..

11:10 pm

tygerbryght

thx for the compliment, then :)

11:11 pm

tygerbryght

I think I'd better type the joke into a text editor, so I can paste it in here. I warn you; this is NOT the kind of joke you'll expect an "evangelical Christian" - much less a Pentecostal - but I'm a strange person, no doubt

11:11 pm

Jacula

When my friend's brother was dying after his 2nd brain haemorraghe about 3 weeks ago, she looked at him in his hospital bed, in his white surgical stockings and said, 'Oh, Robert! You look so sexy in those stockings.' He then stuck his foot up her nose and she protested. He then replied, 'At leat my feet don't stink like yours do!' Those were their last sibling words.

11:11 pm

rururocks

it's true ... you are one cool person...

11:11 pm

tygerbryght

wow, thanks awfully! :D

11:12 pm

rururocks

weird jac..not what I would do...

11:12 pm

tygerbryght

lemme type the joke. this will probably take a couple of minutes. it's not a short one

11:12 pm

rururocks

ok

11:13 pm

Jacula

Not weird at all, if you knew them, ruru.

11:13 pm

rururocks

My brother and I have a weird relationship...

11:13 pm

rururocks

But I wouldn't shove my foot in his nose..lol

11:14 pm

rururocks

in his arse maybe but not the nasal passage..

11:15 pm

rururocks

***waiting for TYGER's joke ***

11:15 pm

Jacula

I'm an only child (a surviving twin) but, had my brother survived, I would most definitel have shoved my foot up his nostrils. LOL

11:15 pm

rururocks

died at birth or later?

11:15 pm

rururocks

my mom was an identical twin..

11:16 pm

Jacula

He deserves it now for sitting on my shoulder all my life!

11:16 pm

Jacula

Died before birth.

11:16 pm

rururocks

hmmm like a little angel...

11:17 pm

Jacula

Angel? No!

11:17 pm

jillibus

Finished, thanks to morewords. Not a nice grid.

11:17 pm

Jacula

He wants to be naughty. He's still a baby after all.

11:18 pm

rururocks

hmmm...do you talk?

11:18 pm

Jacula

Well done jilli. I thought it was a nice grid.

11:18 pm

rururocks

yAY jilli..

11:18 pm

rururocks

I didn't care for this grid either.

11:19 pm

11:19 pm

Jacula

Hi crp.

11:19 pm

jillibus

jac, you're much better than I am at gridding. I lost patience -- lack of time. Too many weird words.

11:19 pm

rururocks

must be a fairly long joke

11:20 pm

crpw48

yeah, been really busy, just started a small business out of my home

11:20 pm

rururocks

eg 7 without conceit

11:20 pm

11:24 pm

tygerbryght

nope, jilli. not in my email - not the one where they've blocked you before :(

11:24 pm

Jacula

Well it is, ruru. How else could I describe it?

11:24 pm

rururocks

dunno

11:24 pm

junebaby12

thanks...thats an interesting description

11:24 pm

tygerbryght

june, I have a very non-PC, and not very nice language Halloween joke. Would you be offended?

11:24 pm

rururocks

see what I mean?

11:25 pm

Jacula

There you go then, ruru. LOL

11:25 pm

rururocks

bring it on tyger.. we are all adults...

11:25 pm

junebaby12

not at all

11:25 pm

Jacula

June got the clue, too. LOL

11:25 pm

jillibus

I sent a reply to yours so it should go through -- no bounce back to me either yet though

11:25 pm

crpw48

11:26 pm

tygerbryght

I wouldn't want to offend another Christian who might see things differently

11:26 pm

jillibus

waiting with bated (baited?) breath, tyger...

11:26 pm

Jacula

Also still waiting for the joke

11:26 pm

rururocks

jeezus send the joke will ya

11:26 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, jilli

11:26 pm

junebaby12

wheres this joke then??

11:26 pm

tygerbryght

okay, installments - it's LOOONG

11:26 pm

crpw48

lol

11:26 pm

Jacula

Fer Christ's sake Tyger just post the joke.

11:26 pm

crpw48

i think the joke is on us

11:26 pm

tygerbryght

this joke refers to a speech impediment as "tongue tied"

The mother asked the son, "How would you like to be a piwate for Halloween?"

The son responded, "That would be gweat, mom"

So the mother cut off a pair of man's slacks, and made the costume. On Halloween, he went out with a bunch of his friends. When they got to the first house, he knocked and said "Twick ow Tweat"

11:26 pm

jillibus

gogogo tyger

11:27 pm

tygerbryght

The lady came to the door, and said, "Oh, my! I see ghosts, and goblins and Spiderman, and ... What are you, son?" to the little boy.

"I'm a piwate"

"A parrot?"

"No, I'm a piwate"

"Oh, a PIRATE! That's nice."

11:27 pm

tygerbryght

They went to the next house, and rang the doorbell, and he said "Twick ow Tweat".

The lady came to the door, and said, "Wow, I see a princess, and Spiderman, and Superman, and a ghost, and ... What are you, son?" to the little boy.

:sigh: "I'm a piwate"

"A parrot?"

"No, I'm a piwate"

"Oh, I see, a PIRATE!"

11:27 pm

tygerbryght

They went to the next house, and rang the doorbell, and he said "Twick ow Tweat".

The lady came to the door, and said, "Hello! I see a vampire, and a pricess, and Superman, and Spiderman, and ... What are you, young man?" to the boy.

:SIGH: "I'm a piwate"

"A parrot?"

"No, I'm a PIWATE"

"Oh, I see, a PIRATE! Where are your buccaneers?"

"They're on the sides of my buckinhead"

11:28 pm

jillibus

LOL tyger!!!

11:28 pm

junebaby12

hehe

11:28 pm

rururocks

lol tyger

11:28 pm

Jacula

How was that offensive?

11:28 pm

junebaby12

right - now some serious business en6 and en7

11:28 pm

Jacula

Not LolLING 'cos heard it before.

11:28 pm

rururocks

that qualifies as cute tyger..

11:28 pm

tygerbryght

I didn't want to laugh when I heard it, but I nearly choked, and laughed for 10 minutes, I swear

11:28 pm

jillibus

honi soit qui mal y pense

11:29 pm

crpw48

very good tyger, i had my laugh for the night

11:29 pm

tygerbryght

It's offensive to people who are PC because of the description of someone with a speech impediment

11:29 pm

junebaby12

fireworks

11:29 pm

Jacula

Well, I didn't find it THAT funny, I must admit. But it's not offensive.

11:29 pm

jillibus

oh bah

11:29 pm

rururocks

PC is big around here..

11:29 pm

junebaby12

thanks for your help

11:29 pm

crpw48

yea for june

11:29 pm

tygerbryght

it's offensive to many Christians because of the WORD, even though it's not correctly pronounced

11:29 pm

tygerbryght

yay, june

11:29 pm

rururocks

It is no longer SNow White and the Seven Dwarves in the theaters..

11:30 pm

rururocks

It is A woman of no colour and seven vertically challenged individuaals

11:30 pm

tygerbryght

if I hadn't been trying NOT to laugh, I probably wouldn't have laughed nearly as long

11:30 pm

tygerbryght

but I was trying SO hard not to laugh :P

11:30 pm

jillibus

sigh, ruru

11:30 pm

tygerbryght

oh, gawd, ruru

11:30 pm

Jacula

PC should go.... no I won't go there with the 'eff' word and itself. But it should. Who pays these idits to look for all these so-called insults?

11:31 pm

rururocks

you don't have to pay them at all.. they live for it

11:32 pm

tygerbryght

and even if I were telling it instead of typing it, I'm not NEARLY as good at telling a joke as my son is :(

11:32 pm

crpw48

my friend just had to go to a seminar for PC due to using the word "blackout" at work. go figure

11:32 pm

tygerbryght

it has to be heard, not read to be really appreciated

11:32 pm

tygerbryght

really, crpw? that's incredibly imbecilic

11:33 pm

rururocks

would afro-out be better?

11:33 pm

tygerbryght

where does your friend work??

11:33 pm

tygerbryght

ROFL, ruru

11:33 pm

jillibus

I'm of the generation which told hilarious non-PC jokes but didn't mean a word of them

11:33 pm

tygerbryght

no, make that ROFLMAO

11:33 pm

tygerbryght

I'm still laughing

11:33 pm

crpw48

i know, its only gets worse, a small computer company, nothing major

11:34 pm

tygerbryght

dear sweet God, what's wrong with those folks???

11:34 pm

tygerbryght

that reminds me of a Brit friend of mine

11:35 pm

Jacula

If someone doesn't tread on the over-sensitive fools they have employed to make the world 'PC' we may all got mad soon and either murder them or zing off into space to find somewhere else to live.

11:35 pm

rururocks

whatever happened to everyone's sense of humor?

11:35 pm

rururocks

*** RIP... A politically correct individual murdered for just not getting it ***

11:36 pm

jillibus

tyger, do you have Photoshop Elements or the full one?

11:36 pm

tygerbryght

he works for a company based near Boston. He was telling a young american woman that a vehicle he was renting would be picked up by a colleague of his, a black Brit. the young woman kept trying to "correct" him to afro-american. He said "he's British. how can he be afro-american??"

11:36 pm

tygerbryght

I have Elements, but I"ve never installed it

11:37 pm

tygerbryght

she never "got it"

11:37 pm

jillibus

If you have, there's an easier way of unsquishing photos for icons

11:37 pm

Jacula

You're not allowed to smoke, you soon won't be allowed to drink (Prohibition again). Before you know it, sex will be disallowed 'except for the purpose of procreating - only one child per couple allowed, as in China), then the clean air tax will kick in...

11:38 pm

tygerbryght

I don't doubt it, jilli. I was just giving directions that could be used by anybody, regardless of what other software they do or don't have

11:38 pm

jillibus

I still don't see what's wrong with Negro, and I guess that's ok with the NAACP too.

11:38 pm

tygerbryght

I think James told that story to all his american friends - and he has tons of us

11:38 pm

rururocks

what if you are sterile and just want to go through the motions?

11:38 pm

tygerbryght

he was incredulous (understandably)

11:39 pm

crpw48

then you would still be taxed ruru

11:39 pm

rururocks

Not sure I like negro or nigger or any derogatory term..

11:39 pm

rururocks

I would pay that tax... what

11:39 pm

tygerbryght

I use black, and if somebody want'

11:39 pm

rururocks

is the reate?

11:40 pm

tygerbryght

oops - wants to fight about it, let 'em come on

11:40 pm

jillibus

Negro is not derogatory.

11:40 pm

rururocks

I use black too...

11:40 pm

jillibus

Brown is more like it.

11:40 pm

jillibus

But I use black.

11:40 pm

rururocks

jilli so 60's... you are hipper than that...

11:40 pm

tygerbryght

mostly, you're right, jilli, but I've seen a few blacks who are quite literally black

11:41 pm

jillibus

I have too, usually real Africans

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

some of them have the "blue gums" too

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

I'm speaking of american blacks, tho

11:41 pm

crpw48

black is fine, negro is fine, white is fine, caucasian is fine, its when you get into things like the N word or redneck that is not good

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

most Africans aren't really all that "black"

11:41 pm

jillibus

yep

11:41 pm

Jacula

Negro defines a race, 'nigger' was a derogatrory form, but has been and was once taken up by the very people it was meant to demean.

11:42 pm

jillibus

right on, jac

11:42 pm

rururocks

yeah but say it as a white person and watch out

11:42 pm

tygerbryght

except they don't want anybody not black to use it

11:43 pm

tygerbryght

I can usually get a "pass" because of being Indian, even if I look white (superficially)

11:44 pm

Jacula

I watched a 'Who Do You Think You Are?' programme in a family roots series not long ago. The celebrity black chef in that found out he was both black and white. One side of his family were slaves and then 'free persons' and the other, were slavers.

11:44 pm

rururocks

bb in a bit...

11:44 pm

jillibus

when I was 8 and at a swish boarding school in England, the girls found out I'd been born in China so chanted "Chinky chinky Chinaman, sitting on a fence..." then something about having no sense -- I thought they were a bunch of idiots.

11:44 pm

tygerbryght

well, folks, it's gotten later than I'd planned to stick around. gotta go take a pill. nytol

11:45 pm

jillibus

jac, I think that applies to most American blacks from way back, doesn't it?

11:45 pm

crpw48

night tyger

11:45 pm

jillibus

night tyger -- let me know about that email!

11:45 pm

tygerbryght

definitely, jilli - either they have white or Indian ancestors in there somewhere

11:45 pm

tygerbryght

*poof*

11:47 pm

flosey

back to get 62 words!! had to fill in at hubby's bridge class tonight

11:47 pm

Jacula

Who can say who is 'black' or 'white', at the risk of sounding like that brilliant dancer, Michael Jackson, right now? The further you trace back your family roots the more of a mongrel you realise you are. And wasn't the root of all life supposed to have begun in Africa? Isn't that why when we go to Africa, it gets into our blood?

11:47 pm
