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!

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
GroovyKiwi
so i spent a couple of weeks in his company while he was down here on undercover ops and we are going to see if we can make this happen lol
2:48 am
MonkeyGames
Just take it nice and easy, and good luck, what a great story!
2:49 am
GroovyKiwi
oh def small steps
2:49 am
GroovyKiwi
but it was like OMG i was so not ready for even thinking about anything long term or permanent - i was happy just having fun with my lawyer friend
2:49 am
MonkeyGames
I understand. What a bombshell!
2:50 am
GroovyKiwi
my exact words was that i got knocked for a six - which kiwis and aussies will understand but not many others lol
2:50 am

2:51 am
GroovyKiwi

2:52 am
GroovyKiwi

2:53 am
MonkeyGames

I think we are getting short shrift from Ata because of Mr B
2:54 am

4:51 am
LoriP
We had a huge disgusting snowstorm on the weekend, but it's raining it away now. I'm good with that. :)
4:52 am
Atalante
I love this. Yesterday evening I was panicking all day about not having enough to do a pic by tomorrow, and here am I happily playing babble *sigh*
4:53 am
chickieo8
We're suppose to get anther storm this week-end oh well it just gives us spring to look forward to. LOL
4:55 am
LoriP
Babble is not exactly connected to real life productivity..... :p
4:56 am
LoriP
Okay, 23 left and spawnling time. BBL
4:56 am
Atalante
noooooo and I need to start work now! *looks at the grid*
4:56 am
Eva
Good morning. Hey chickie-one of the kittens in your icon is a mini-Merp
4:56 am
BabbleRabble
what is the link to unreal life productivity?
4:57 am
Atalante
about the same I think
4:59 am
chickieo8
Hi Eva, how sweet.I just love that picture. Zoe is also black&white short hair. I just got a beautiful Hemalayn he is 8 yrs old owner couldn't keep any more. He ia beautiful!
5:01 am
chickieo8
I have to laugh Eva,mini-Merp sounds like a new car:-) lol
5:01 am
Eva
the facial marking look identical.I wish we could have a whole pride of cats (can us use pride for domestic cats?)
5:01 am
Atalante
definitely
5:02 am
Eva
it would be great if English was my first language(-{
5:03 am
Eva
Typing fingers not fully awake
5:03 am
chickieo8
A home is not a home with out the love of a kitty! My little dog Abby is a joy also!
5:03 am
Atalante
hmmm. Hobbit has just got *under* the throw on my sofa and gone to sleep
5:06 am
chickieo8
don' you love it.:-) BC is watching me,Zoe is playing with a toy mouse and Abby is sleeping on her affagan i the recliner,life is tuff......:>)
5:07 am
chickieo8
my fringers are still sleeping also
5:07 am
Eva
watching humans must be endlessly baffling and entertaining-watching them pee seems especially fascinating
5:08 am
chickieo8
i know what you mean lol
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
chickieo8
I'm going to my daughters so my "fur faces" can have the house to them selfs.
5:16 am
Eva
will you bring them back some turkey with fixings?
5:17 am
chickieo8
if I want them to let me in I better.....:-)
5:22 am

5:31 am
Atalante
FM, I'm going to a JOhn B signing tomorrow *smug*
5:31 am
Eva

5:32 am
lynxxx
Oscar also has a death wish
5:32 am
LoriP
G'd morning again Babblers!
5:32 am

5:34 am
LoriP
Who's signing Ata? Ink or tattoo?
5:34 am
FMitch
*looks at Lori with suspicion*
5:34 am
LoriP
***acts suspicious to warrant 'the look'***
5:35 am
FMitch
I think Ata has swooned thinking of JB
5:35 am
herinfernallady
HI. Eva. My parents and I owned a Irish Setter when i was a kid, used to pinch the neighbours bread and run through their pond and climb mountains
5:35 am
iumanwwjd123
ok, right back to a long one...
5:36 am
Eva
I don't know if it's the inbreeding,but I would never have an Irish setter again.
5:36 am
FMitch
phone .. sigh
5:36 am
herinfernallady
She was a lovely dog just dumb as a brick
5:36 am
Eva
Okay-total ignoranamus that I am-who is JB?
5:36 am
Atalante
mouse! there's a mouse!
5:36 am
Atalante

5:37 am
herinfernallady
Get silly onto it

5:39 am
pinkhatlil
Hello Lori, Eva, Lynxx, Ata and Herin...how are you all?
5:39 am
LoriP
Life is good, for you too I hope. :)
5:39 am
Atalante
gah! he's vanished
5:39 am
Eva
good, although having a hard time adjusting to the sudden winter
5:39 am
pinkhatlil
yes everything is good with me lori
5:39 am
LoriP
Mices are sneaky. He'll be back.
5:40 am
pinkhatlil
i've missed babbling
5:40 am
Atalante
sily's still sniffing around
5:40 am
Atalante
don't think she has a very good killing instinct though!
5:42 am
Atalante
she just watches the mouse with biiig eyes
5:42 am
LoriP
Our inside 2 cats are useless hunters, except for stalking the laser pointer
5:43 am
Eva
merp is a killing machine.
5:43 am
Atalante
sily's good at spiders, but apparently that is it
5:43 am
Atalante
it's a lovely little mouse though
5:43 am
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.
5:45 am
Atalante
I know. they can stay all they want, but I don't like the poo!
5:46 am

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.....)

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
8:48 am
oodleberry

8:49 am

8:49 am
EvaNadine
my parents were just over in england a few weeks ago + my "cousin" (not really) asked my mom "so, did you used to talk like me?"
8:50 am
oodleberry
ok ata I'm confused now... do you live in england or the states.. or another part of the UK eh?
8:51 am
EvaNadine
the funny thing is, she didnt!
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...
8:51 am

we live in the US. my parents are originally from england.

My MA born Mom currently speaks with a NYC accent. She was visiting with us and my daughter's friends's mother stopped by. She has a southern accent. My Mom says to her in a thick NY accent: "Do I detect a trace of a Southern accent?" Hubby and I still laugh about that

9:00 am
oodleberry
what's the dif annie
9:01 am
bichon
I have to laugh cause I needed a new birth certificate. I always thought of myself as born in the City of New York. Apparently, I was born in the city of Brooklyn
9:01 am
BlueAndAmy
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)
9:01 am
bichon
We moved from Brooklyn to Rockaway when I was small. As an adult I lived in Manhattan and hubby and I moved to CT from there

On Long Island there's Kings County, Queens County, Nassau County and Suffolk County. But Brooklyn and Queens are also boroughs of NYC. Unnecessarily complicated

Gotcha :-) I just wanted to say, the photos on your flickr page are AWESOME.... SO very pin-up!!! I love them
9:05 am
Judi
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.

Brooklyn was once an independent city [long ago] but was then incorporated into the city of NY

It still stands...brooklyn is the borough, Kings county is the county....Staten Island is the borough, Richmond is the County...gets confusing

dizziness can be interpreted many ways... 1st is it vertigo vs light headedness... huge differential diagnosis for both... if in fact you are so "dizzy" that you don't feel you can even stand, you should call your doctor

my ears don't hurt
9:37 am

vertigo is caused by an infection which makes your ears out of sync
9:37 am

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.

there is a simple device here in the states and may be in Europe as well where you pump oxygen a couple of times a day into the back area...back2life you lie with legs up over a board of sorts and there is continuous gentle action just bringing oxygen to the area

Well, I could try it, Unithorn, and thanks, but I just had 8 acupuncture treatments from a qualified physical therapist specializing in it and electrical stimulation WAS used. Have to research if it's the same approach or if there ar efunctional differences.

Hmmm... will ask about that Babs, thank you.

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*
10:00 am
Trifioso
mg - it sort of sounds like what you would have put on sore muscles long ago
10:00 am
MonkeyGames
The treatments involved insertions of acupuncture needles around and in the injury site which were then electrified.
10:00 am
MonkeyGames
First two letters?
10:00 am
wvteach
for the li 10 you need to combine li 4/4 and am 5/12
10:01 am
amelu0218
mg, li 10 is plural of li 9/60
10:01 am
MonkeyGames
Thanks!

Hmm. That's different, then. Well, either way, might be something to ask about. Hope you get to feeling better.

10:46 am
Trifioso
so, since my life has been *so* uneventful lately, here's more fun: the Dell people were able to get my laptop going again, but it meant reinstalling the operating system, which meant I lost EVERY thing I had on there. It's all gone. :(

ick ICK! but at least you got it working!

10:49 am
MonkeyGames
I tried it on a recommendation from someone on here, but after a few days I found it trite and not fully suited to my lifestyle, not to mention too chaotic: all those cross-traffic e-mails! But the tips were pretty good. Even the self-obvious one. So a couple weeks of it was a good kick in the butt. Now my house is a total wreck but unlikely to make anyone ill.
10:49 am
ursh
oh Lord Trif - I would love an uneventful life right now - we having enormous family issues right now
10:49 am
Trifioso
I get the email s in a daily digest - much easier to well....digest

MonkeyGames
Like, of course one knows one SHOULD start the washing machine before leving for the day, but one DOESN'T...
10:50 am
Trifioso
ursh, I am too, trust me - I was being WAY sarcastic
10:50 am
MonkeyGames
Trif is talking down her situation. Uneventful means a chance to rally herself to go on.
10:50 am
MonkeyGames
Maybe I should try that.
10:51 am
MonkeyGames
What's wrong, Ursh?
10:51 am
ursh
Oh yes Trif i remember - sorry we will think of each other and get through bad times - across the world holding hands

one help can be to connect with your body sensations as emotions come up...stay with the sensations and then pray
10:56 am
MonkeyGames
Sorry Ursh-- I am sending prayers and thoughts too (non-religious but very spiritual prayers). Was distracted by Walter wanting me to find the apple in his Dora book. If you need to talk you can e-mail me, biut I'm not sure what our time difference is...

11:14 am

11:15 am
Atalante
hopefully not!
11:15 am

11:15 am

(I've been kind to Samy, I can't summon up any kindness for Ata. I want to hear the righteous indignation.
11:16 am

I wish FM would come with me

11:16 am
Samy
I need help
11:16 am

oh, I think he is ****yummy**** However, I believe he bats for the other team, so that's no help to me.
11:16 am
Atalante
he definitely does
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.

11:27 am
LoriP

11:27 am
bichon

11:27 am
Atalante

11:27 am
Atalante

11:27 am
bichon

11:27 am
LoriP
knitter was on earlier I think
11:28 am
Atalante
I think. Someone said hello. Was probably lUni!
11:28 am
unithorn
Me Uni, or is there another Uni?
11:28 am
caitlyn

11:30 am
joshuavorbis
clue coming up
11:31 am
Haz1558
Look away Lori(Canada)!
11:31 am
Atalante
I had to do it. Sorry, Silverclaw
11:31 am
Samy
guys I'm confused whats with the fractions like 6/18 and 5/10
11:31 am
joshuavorbis
re5/12 + first three letters of the main course
11:31 am
LoriP
***stares at screen with baited breath***
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
LoriP
Ack! ***leaps from Babble balcony to the pool below***
11:32 am
Trifioso
woot woot! loving on josh....and ata
11:33 am
LoriP
Thanks josh, Ata Hari
11:33 am
Samy
ohh thanks so much
11:33 am
LoriP
***feels inadequate, assumes the fetal position***
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
Samy
whats the longest word that someone found? How many letters and points?
11:35 am
Trifioso
lol lori!
11:35 am
Atalante
oops wrong window
11:36 am
LoriP
***soaps Ata's window***
11:36 am
Trifioso
zounds, this grid BLOWS - the only letter I have greyed out is the y - big honkin deal....
11:36 am
joshuavorbis
don't know for sure, samy - probably at least 12 letters, and well over 100 points
11:36 am
FMitch
Evening all :)
11:36 am
Samy
Anyone find a really long word?
11:36 am
Haz1558
I didn't think you'd do anything that looked like housework, Lori.
11:36 am
Haz1558
SHE LIVES!
11:36 am
caitlyn
Yes Samy
11:36 am
Trifioso
FM!!!!!! Your absence has made the chat unbearable :)
11:36 am
joshuavorbis
there's a 10 letter word in this grid, samy
11:37 am
LoriP
FM, why as I live and breathe. :)
11:37 am

Hey Team Babble :)
11:37 am
LoriP
Haz, housework is a 4 letetr word for me, you know that.
11:37 am
Haz1558
Trif, you need to hang around more to see REALLY unbearable chat.
11:38 am
KristineNas

11:38 am
LoriP
*** snicker ***
11:38 am
Atalante
FM .......?
11:38 am
Haz1558
I know, Lori(Canada), so was deeply confused that you'd put soap anywhere near windows. It could be misinterpreted.
11:38 am
Atalante
what are you doing tomorrow afternoon/evening? Are you working?
11:39 am
LoriP
I disavow any knowledge of soaping Ata's window for cleaning purposes. Vandalism was the intent. Sorry for any ripple effect that it may have had on my reputation.
11:39 am
Haz1558
Be very careful how you reply, FM. Very careful indeed.
11:39 am
Atalante
LOOOOOL
11:39 am
FMitch

11:39 am
bichon
draw a straight li** + word at the end of a prayer + first letter of a hot drink with lemon
11:39 am
Atalante

11:39 am
LoriP
***giggles like a school kid waiting for FM to answer Ata***
11:40 am
Trifioso
oh, thank gawd - tech support just got home from school! Now the laptop can finish getting fixed.
11:40 am
FMitch
Where would I have to be and at what time?
11:40 am
Haz1558
She's weakening.
11:40 am
Atalante
I could come and get you!
11:40 am
Haz1558
re6/21 - re plus a part of a shoe or a foot.
11:40 am
caitlyn
Im sitting on the edge of my chair!
11:40 am
LoriP
re + part of your foot
11:41 am
Atalante
if I've got to get on the M25 anyway, I might as well
11:41 am
FMitch
What county is the signing in?
11:41 am
Haz1558
I'm trying to picture this. A manic Ata and an FM trying to retain her dignity.
11:41 am
FMitch
... and at what time?
11:41 am
Atalante
this is the bad part ... it's the last place on earth I want to be *whispers* Bluewater
11:42 am
Atalante
but! in M&S so a bit calmer
11:42 am
Haz1558
But Bluewater sounds so peaceful.
11:42 am
KristineNas
ty bichon
11:43 am
Atalante
it's at 6pm, so I guess I'd get there earlier anyway. If you'd like to come, I'm happy to grab you and take you home. If you dont, no probs!
11:43 am
FMitch
I'd need my passport to got here, which counties does that mall cover? :)
11:43 am
Atalante
every one in england?
11:44 am
Atalante
I can't even remebmer whether it's the mall on this side of the Bridge, or the other side
11:44 am
Atalante
Lakeside's on one side, and Bluewater is on the other
11:44 am
Haz1558
Both equally desirable places to be?
11:45 am
Atalante
equally, yes
11:45 am
Trifioso
How do kids do it? He is home for five seconds, and the laptop is humming again....sigh
11:45 am
Atalante
I've only been to Bluewater once, and it's - undescribable
11:45 am
Haz1558
It's a conspiracy, Trif. Is Al Fayed anywhere nearby?
11:45 am
LoriP
***giggling in the back of the room***
11:45 am
Haz1558
Would travellers like Bluewater?
11:46 am
FMitch
That could be fun but I have a meeting at 9.30 on Friday - leave it with me for now - I could do with a brak and some laughs!!!
11:46 am
Trifioso
i am laughing as I look at the chat....look at my lone little flag there, amongst all the jacks...oh, and the leaf, too
11:47 am
caitlyn
And my dragon Tri LOL
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!!!
11:47 am
FMitch
**what does one war to meet JB** ?
11:47 am
LoriP
Don't mock me when I'm still here Haz.
11:47 am

Trifioso

11:48 am
Atalante

11:48 am
LoriP
Calming influence. Is that code for anchor?
11:48 am
Haz1558
Do you dress up as a tardis? That would get you noticed.
11:48 am
FMitch

11:49 am
Haz1558
Always fetching the police, you mean.
11:50 am
LoriP
If you wore your udnergarments on the outside of your outfit of choice, that'd get you noticed.
11:50 am
Haz1558
Of course, maybe that would just help them blend into the crowd at Bluewater.
11:50 am
FMitch

11:50 am

Ah, OK. About the MRI I mean. Well, with my back, I have two flattened discs that are "slightly" ruptured and nobody can do anything about it. The orthopedist feels that it should stop getting worse and start showing improvement within another couple of months.
12:35 pm

oh! golly. thanks!

urgh. a couple months with a little one needing stuff is a VERY LONG TIME.

mg....help....I got a "poor me" email about how he now has nowhere to go tomorrow....resolve weakening....
12:36 pm
stidmama
did you tell the doc that you need a medical note so you can have maid service?
12:36 pm
stidmama
AH! now I have another grey tile...
12:36 pm
MonkeyGames
Weaken not!!! Has he no family nor friends in your town???
12:36 pm

trif, who has nowhere to go?
12:37 pm
Atalante
oh poooor him, Trif. Ignore him! Tell him to watch TV!
12:37 pm
nrkii
if someone you are on outs with (like an ex), then get him a list of all the restaurants offering thanksgiving dinner tomorrow
12:37 pm
Atalante
his problem. not yours.
12:37 pm
Trifioso
no family but mine, and yes, we do have friends, and I know for a FACT he is invited other places...unless, of course, they changed their minds about him too
12:37 pm
MonkeyGames
2 months is half how long it's been already.... Anyeway, I have actually requested "maid service" (they call it household help here), but I don't need a note-- they'll call my doctor.
12:37 pm
stidmama
trifioso! *stern mama look* be strong, be brave. be stubborn. be resolute. (be smart)
12:37 pm
MonkeyGames
Good idea, nrk.
12:37 pm
Trifioso
dennys sounds about right....
12:38 pm

Trif - you stay strong and stick with it!!!
12:38 pm
MonkeyGames
So tell him that you do not appreciate him attempting to manipulate you by actuing whiny.
12:38 pm
Trifioso
man, you all are just the shot in the arm a gal needs!
12:38 pm
Atalante
there's always McDonalds
12:38 pm

we are very supportive of each other
12:38 pm
stidmama
remember that the movies are a great place to go on holidays because most of the obnoxious people are stuck at home with crazy inlaws!
12:38 pm
nrkii
or give him a list of the people you know invited him!
12:39 pm
Atalante
hahaha yes! perfect, nrkii
12:39 pm
MonkeyGames
Under no circumstances let him engage you in debate. If necessary screen calls. Just tell him you're not responsible for him and if he acn't figure out something for himself that's just too bad.
12:39 pm

hello babbleites
12:39 pm

hi feather!
12:39 pm

DO NOT ENGAGE. That just makes one miserable and it's what he wants.
12:40 pm
MonkeyGames
Hi feather!
12:40 pm
stidmama
glad you will get maid service, monkey -- wish they had that in the states... but of course I would have to clean before a maid could be of any use. *sigh* two more weeks, then I am done with school and can start to do all the things I couldn't over the summer. Providing, of course, the hip stays in place.
12:40 pm

hi feather! half day?
12:40 pm

12:40 pm

every year, we eat dinner at mom's house at 11:30, then have to rush naps and turn around and go to dad and stepmom's at 2.

12:42 pm

feather that is a lot to do in one day, espec, with small children
12:42 pm
stidmama
you can't do one on Thursday and one on Friday?
12:42 pm
nrkii
the parents of the grandchildren make the rules, not the grandparents
12:42 pm
featherbee
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
featherbee
just called mom, our turkey dinner is back on. however, now i need to deal wiht calling dad and saying that we'll be there for dessert only.
12:43 pm
MonkeyGames
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
stidmama
*attempt at being helpful* we don't "do" holidays with extended family any more. Too much hassle. We have quiet time at home instead.
12:43 pm
featherbee
i would love to do that stid, but i still want to do things wiht my mom. so have to be "fair" to dad.
12:43 pm
stidmama
oh gee feather... *worried mama look*
12:44 pm
nrkii
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
12:44 pm
stidmama
why, feather? why do you "have" to be fair? what about being fair to you???
12:44 pm
Pinikula
back...and I can probably top you all...
12:44 pm
Pinikula
(without dismissing your dilemnas)
12:44 pm
MonkeyGames
Trif? You still there? Not on the phone letting him badger you?
12:44 pm
featherbee
because they always lay a guilt trip on me.
12:44 pm
stidmama
*nodding at nrk's solution* we did something similar with the parentals when our children were little.
12:44 pm
MonkeyGames
Let's hear it, Pink.
12:44 pm
nrkii
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
featherbee
i don't know nrk, it's harder when it's your mom vs. dad rather than inlaws
12:45 pm
Pinikula
I'll be spending my Thanksgiving with the turkey...
12:45 pm
nrkii
my niece and nephew do the same, with my brother and his first wife
12:45 pm
nrkii
they make the rules basically, because they're the ones everyone wants to see
12:45 pm
Trifioso
no no, still here. He doesn't call, really. I was foolishly looking for words in the grid
12:45 pm
Pinikula
...and all of those who are Babbling...
12:45 pm
stidmama
The guilt trips is why we stopped going anywhere... and the craziness. Our parentals are not laid-back hosts, and I need more sanity.
12:45 pm
MonkeyGames
Oh, that's futile.
12:45 pm
featherbee
i WANT to do stuff with mom, and would like to do stuff with dad, but wished i felt like they were more flexible. for pete's sake, my mom's already starting lunch at 11:30 for us!
12:46 pm
stidmama
um... pini? which turkey? a human turkey?
12:46 pm
Trifioso
pini - I think I know someone you can spend Thanksgiving with....
12:46 pm

I mean what Trif said, not any later posts...
12:46 pm

so will I, pini. and even without a turkey
12:46 pm
aslindy
OK, I think I have tried every combo but nothing works. Any hints for el 4/5 ?
12:46 pm
featherbee
my stepmom has a son driving down from a few hours away, so it always has to be an early dinner to accomodate that
12:46 pm
MonkeyGames
Well, Pink, I'll be on... not even a holiday here.
12:46 pm

yeah, feather, I'd trade holidays with them... dad gets Christmas Eve, mom gets Thanksgiving, etc
12:46 pm

12:48 pm
nrkii
sorry Monkey!!!
12:48 pm

I agree with nrkii - esp if the kids are little - no one wants a "vomiting child" at their holiday meal...oh, it looks like little barfy isn't feeling well, can we see you tomorrow? I am sure it is one of those 24 hour things....
12:48 pm

*stamping feet AND stern mama look* feather! what are you teaching your children?!?
12:51 pm
MonkeyGames
Well said gently, Trif, and sternly, Stid.
12:51 pm
stidmama
your children need to learn how to gently and firmly assert their own needs and rights. YOU are the only role model they have for that!
12:51 pm
nrkii
feather, I'd tell them the truth... it's too hard to do two in one day, so next year you're going to start alternating holidays
12:51 pm
nrkii
they will still love you
12:51 pm
featherbee
i'm going to do this. say to dad "plans got changed, we can't do the brunch at mom's house. so we're doing turkey there. then we're coming home for naps, and we'll be at your house after naps. don't hold dinner for us."
12:52 pm

That is a GOOD plan, feather.

1:09 pm

dad was totally fine with it! i said about how things got switched, and that with the boys being sick with colds i really wanted to make sure they got their naps, so we'd be up after naps. he said, ok, that's fine, we may have to start without you then. i said, ok, that's fine with me if it's fine with you!!!
1:12 pm
featherbee
then he said it might actually work out better because my stepmom was trying to figure out how to seat everyone.

1:15 pm
jacq
FLUFF? is that the belly button by-product?
1:15 pm
jacq

1:19 pm
jacq
what in the name of the wee man is smores?
1:19 pm
Trifioso
no, you can't toast fluff, but you can nuke the cracker and choc, and then add the other cracker with fluff on it
1:19 pm
jacq
the belly button by-product can be toasted, briased and even bbq'd
1:19 pm
Atalante
smores are gorgeous and 100% sugar too. Graham crackers sandwiched with chocolate and toasted marshmallows
1:19 pm
Pinikula
S'mores are graham crackers on either side of a toasted marshmellow with chocolate...
1:19 pm
jacq
and a graham cracker is?????
1:20 pm
Pinikula
Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smore
1:20 pm
Atalante
think digestive biscuit. ish. but sweeter
1:20 pm
Trifioso
and this is where it breaks down - trust me, i ahve tried to explain this in ireland a million times. There is NO cultural equivalent for a graham cracker
1:20 pm
jacq
ooooooooh, sounds sweet and nice
1:20 pm
Pinikula
graham cracker is a honey-ish flavoured biscuit
1:20 pm
jacq

1:20 pm
jacq
sweetmeal digestives?
1:21 pm
Pinikula
Trif...I use spreadable chocolate frosting (from the tub) instead of a candy bar...it doesn't fall out!!!!
1:21 pm
aslindy
ok... jac q I had that one... and Tri... I don't get it.
1:22 pm
jacq
ok lindy, sorry
1:22 pm
Atalante
jacq - imagine a square digestive biscuit, but a bit thicker, and sweeter and honey-ish
1:22 pm
jacq
square hobnob?
1:22 pm
aslindy
thanks for trying though
1:22 pm
Atalante
nope, no bits like in hobnobs :D
1:23 pm
Atalante
if you spread a digestive with a very thin layer of runny honey, you;d get pretty much exactly the same taste
1:23 pm
jacq
ok, thank god i hate hobnobs
1:23 pm
aslindy
maybe a graham cracker is a bit like very dry, thin honey-ish cake.
1:23 pm
Atalante
who was Graham though?
1:24 pm

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!

That was four and something years ago. I was walking toward downtown Amsterdam, he (who IS Dutch and lives there) was bicycling (as all Dutch people do) away from downtown. We stood at opposite red lights at a crossing, about 3meters apart, for three minutes or so.
