what is really bad though, is everyone in the area knows that this road does the xmas, easter and halloween stuff... so they come from miles away, drop their kids at the top of the road at halloween, and the kids trick or treat all the houses.
That is just plain rude!

2:47 am
GroovyKiwi

Here is the kicker: his marriage broke up august last year and he moved from wellington and it comes to past that the reason his marriage broke up and he left town was that he had feelings for me
strong enough to get out of a situation he didnt think i needed to deal with at the time
2:47 am
Atalante

yay yay groovy!
2:47 am
GroovyKiwi

and when he heard in sept this year that my marriage had broken up he had been trying to pick up the courage to contact me and he did a couple of weeks ago
2:47 am
MonkeyGames

Oh wow! That's really interesting. What a thing! Glad he finally said something to you!
2:48 am

5:10 am
Atalante

I can't go to the loo without been WAtched by one or other of the furbrats
5:12 am
Eva

sometimes I have the bizarre desire for some privacy and close the door and you would think that Merp was being drawn on the rack from the ruckus he sets up trying to break the door down.
5:12 am
Atalante

omg same with Silverclaw. especially if I have a *shower* without her present
5:13 am
Eva

It's also very unnerving to get up in the middle of the night to pee, in the dark, half conscious, and not be sure if your toes are going to get nibbled on while seated. Not a relaxing experience.
5:13 am
chickieo8

I know there is always one by my feet,one in the counter and oneai the door-way. They truely don't like to be shut out :-)
5:14 am
Eva

Merp will be in seventh heaven tomorrow with all the company. The more attention the better, and the more toes to nibble the better....he seems to have a foot fettish
5:16 am

I'm going to my daughters so my "fur faces" can have the house to them selfs.

Eva

But only for mice and flies. useless with spiders and moths
5:44 am
Eva

I like the mice. They are beautiful and as they don't get into the food, quite harmless.
5:44 am
Atalante

me too. I don't really want Sily to get this mouse! But I would like him to go back out in the field where he belongs
5:44 am
LoriP

Doh, got the last i.
5:45 am
Eva

They don't want to be out in the field when it's cold....your house is a much nicer place.

Had a miraculous find yesterday morning. When I came back from my walk I saw a strange shape in the snow, and thought "it can't be!", but it was - I beautiful, 4 inch long spotted salamander. I called the nature center and they advised me to put him in a nest of leaves by the edge of the woods, which I did, and s/he scurried right under them. Hopefully in the spring there will be baby spotted salamanders.

8:17 am

I know a great joke about languages: A group of Europeans get in an argument about whose language is the most beautiful. The Frenchman says it's French, because the word for butterfly in French is "pappillon" which is a beautiful word. The Portugese man says his is the most beautiful, as butterfly is "bobolette" and isn't that the most lovely? and the Italian says, no, it's Italian, because Butterfly in Italian is "farfalle" which is lovely....at this point the German BANGS his fist on the table, stands up and yells - what are you saying? there is something wrong with schmetterlink? (sure all my spelling is wrong, but it's still a great joke.....)

"eh" can have many uses but it is mostly for conformation of a idea for to indicate to a person to repeat themselves

when I'm bumming around with best friend - she's from OR but brought up in Arizona, and I'm very very British, we are usually taken both for Australians. And neither of us have anything like an Aussie accent

8:51 am

my parents have more of the "proper" london accent, whereas most of the family we have now has more of the "lower-class" cockney-ish type of accent...

9:01 am

Yeah, well, I'm a masochist like that, I guess. Speaking of Joisey, I grew up just outside of Newark, so I can definitely relate to the accent (especially since both of my parents are native LongIslanders originally)

Delaware has a bit of a spill-over Philly accent. Water is pronounced "wooter", whereas I was looked at strangely when I said "wah-ter". I think the philly accents sounds a bit like Elmer Fudd.

vertigo is caused by an infection which makes your ears out of sync

if you are congested, runny nose, other URI symptoms, it is most likely labyrinthitis - if it persists would call your doc

This orthopedist doesn't believe in the shots and physical therapy both did not work and he says will not. But if it gets "much worse", especially the leg radiation, I can go back.

MG - have they cleared you for use of a TENS unit (spelling might be off...)...my father ruptured two discs in his back some years ago, they thought he would never walk again, and that thing saved him...he'll 100% mobile. That, and a lot of time at the chiropractor.

TENS was (if I recall, and this was almost 10 years ago) three or four sensor pads that you placed on the injury in varied spots...did you just use it during said sessions, or...? When my father used it, it was as necessary. Some days, he simply could not be without it - others, he only used it a few times. Used it a LOT when he first started walking again. Just a thought, something to look into...maybe they won't recommend it for you because your injury isn't too severe *sopes*

11:17 am
LoriP

The psychiatric department is booked solid at this time Samy.
11:17 am
Haz1558

Yes, Ata rides high on a cloud of smug. Brilliant, Einstein's granddaughter and now the chance to see John Barrowman.
11:17 am
Atalante

do you think I could kidnap FM and take her with me?
11:17 am
Trifioso

samy - admitting it is the first step to successful treatment....what can we help you with today, dear?
11:17 am
Haz1558

It depends on how much she resists the kidnapping attempt, Ata.
11:17 am
LoriP

Ata, it's the only way to stop her from wasting time working.
11:17 am
72 Temple Owl

may i come along? i hate it here. i can tie good slipknots.

11:32 am
Atalante

or re + consonant + an5!
11:32 am
joshuavorbis

samy, the first number is the number of letters in the word, the 2nd number is the amount of total points for all the tiles in the word
11:32 am

11:33 am
Haz1558

Did nobody tell Lori(Canada) about the pool being drained?
11:33 am
joshuavorbis

a five letter word, the total points on the tiles is doubled, a six letter word, the total points on the tiles is tripled, and so on
11:33 am
LoriP

I thought the landing was a bit rough.
11:34 am
Atalante

why inadequate? that was a horrid word!
11:34 am
joshuavorbis

so re8/45, the word starts with "R-E", is 8 letters long, and has a total of 9 points on all the tiles
11:34 am
Trifioso

....which makes it impossible for math illiterates like me to figure out the tiles from the points....
11:34 am
LoriP

It's not even a real word anyways......
11:34 am

whats the longest word that someone found? How many letters and points?

11:38 am
Atalante

what are you doing tomorrow afternoon/evening? Are you working?
11:39 am

I can't even remebmer whether it's the mall on this side of the Bridge, or the other side
11:44 am

11:44 am

11:47 am
Haz1558

You mean Lori(Canada)'s leaf? I wonder if she's found those plurals yet..
11:47 am
Atalante

if we left Bluewater at 8 atthe latest - easily I would think - you'd be home at 9:30 easily, probably 9. Anyway, let me know, I'm certainly going and you might be a calming influence!!!

we were going to do brunch at my mom's this year. until i realized that she was still having a turkey dinner...without us...and started feeling weepy about it.

12:43 pm

Ouch, Feather. Almost makes me glad to have no family outside the house here... and of course Thanksgiving is not a holiday here either...
12:43 pm

12:44 pm

we're at the point now where my parents and I go to my brother's mother-in-law's for thanksgiving, and my brother's in-laws come to my parents' house for easter

why, feather? why do you "have" to be fair? what about being fair to you???

12:44 pm

12:44 pm

Let's hear it, Pink.

it does get simpler eventually, but only when you start making the rules... and you can totally use the kids as an excuse
12:45 pm

i don't know nrk, it's harder when it's your mom vs. dad rather than inlaws
12:45 pm

I'll be spending my Thanksgiving with the turkey...
12:45 pm

my niece and nephew do the same, with my brother and his first wife

The guilt trips is why we stopped going anywhere... and the craziness. Our parentals are not laid-back hosts, and I need more sanity.

the belly button by-product can be toasted, briased and even bbq'd
1:19 pm

smores are gorgeous and 100% sugar too. Graham crackers sandwiched with chocolate and toasted marshmallows

What happened was... I had never seen the show. Walter and I were trying to find a table at a restaurant at the airport coming back from seeing my grandfather in California. We were at the bar, the only empty area, and teh fellow there said no 4-year-olds at the bar, which is of course reasonable. So I ordered our food and we cast about for somewhere else, and saw this lady at a table. I asked if we coudl sit there and she said of course, and was for the next while extremely gracious about Walter (3 1/2 at the time) continually handing her mustard and menus and stuff. Then we all left to our separate flights, I flew with a toddler for 15 hours, I put him to bed, we turned on the TV and decoided to check out this show, and THERE she was!
