Takuma Sato

3:32 am

sprite

jilli, is it okay if I send the email to you and ask you to put it through to flosey?

3:32 am

jillibus

sweetish, flosey?

3:32 am

jillibus

sure, sprite, delighted!

3:32 am

flosey

yes jilli, don't know the number

3:33 am

Kazzer99

the sun is out and hopefully it will melt enough for his car to get some grip up the hill. We dont cope well with snow here. mainly because we hardly get any

3:33 am

jillibus

similar, here, kaz!

3:33 am

lynxxx

Congrats Kazz!

3:33 am

flosey

thanks sprite and jilli, will be glad to receive it

3:33 am

jillibus

kaz -- kitty litter helps give traction

3:34 am

jillibus

Rielsings are usually about 01

3:34 am

jillibus

Rieslings

3:35 am

Kazzer99

thanks jilli - he might have to try that - though its only one day and the forecast is mainly dry so it should clear soon - most of the main roads are fine

3:36 am

flosey

I really just remember that I liked it jilli and would like to get a few to put away

3:37 am

jillibus

good idea, flosey! Did you check the "Local" here?

3:37 am

jillibus

And the liquor store might order a case in for you

3:37 am

flosey

yes, they told me it wasn't available in the stores - would have to visit the winery!

3:38 am

flosey

he didn't bother to look it up!

3:38 am

jillibus

well, that was bosh, obviously, if you found it in Vic

3:39 am

herinfernallady

Hi

3:39 am

flosey

can get a case in Esquimalt or Saanich - won't be able to get in until next week though

3:40 am

jillibus

hi herin!

3:40 am

flosey

yes, annoying

3:40 am

lynxxx

hi Infernal

3:40 am

herinfernallady

how are you?

3:40 am

flosey

hi herin

3:41 am

herinfernallady

waves hello before i clamber back into bed

3:41 am

jillibus

When I said the "Local" I wasn't talking about the BC liquor store but the Gasoline Alley one

3:41 am

sprite

ok, email sent. Must hurry off to therapy now, back later. Bye all, for now!

3:41 am

jillibus

RUOK herin?

3:41 am

herinfernallady

Loves sprite

3:42 am

flosey

ah yes, sorry, hadn't thought of them, will call tomorrow

3:42 am

jillibus

Bye, spritey -- be well

3:42 am

flosey

bye sprite

3:42 am

jillibus

there's also Harbour House

3:42 am

herinfernallady

Yes I got up at 530 am for class. Long day complete with narrow minded idiots

3:43 am

jillibus

herin, you make me chuckle

3:43 am

herinfernallady

that and one of my shows has returned at 1030pm so I really am not going to be able to watch as it finishes at 1130am

3:43 am

flosey

yes, and also Fulford Inn could have it, don't think of these outlets

3:44 am

jillibus

Fulford would be really convenient for you!

3:44 am

lynxxx

oh, thanks Infernal. You just reminded me Torchwood is on tonite

3:44 am

herinfernallady

We were discussing Family Law today. Apparently (apart from one girl in my class) the rest thought that an individual living alone with no kin isn't a family. I disagreed as family could be your neighboure.

3:44 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx. I am going to miss Dr Who again

3:45 am

mab

jilli, am so glad you picked the star nosed mole, as if I had run into one without knowing what it was I would surely faint, scream, or do something equally annoying.

3:45 am

flosey

yes - don't know why that would not have occurred to me

3:45 am

jillibus

mab, I think it's really quite small

3:45 am

flosey

yes it is

3:46 am

mab

still....

3:46 am

herinfernallady

Hi Mab

3:46 am

flosey

hi mab

3:46 am

mab

hi, herin, are you taking a course of study, or picking up classes here and there?

3:48 am

mab

the rhinoceros is such an unlikely looking creature - how ever does it hold it's head up i wonder

3:48 am

herinfernallady

COurse. Advance Diploma of Business: Legal Administration and Business Admin. Its a dual course so i can get a really good job at the end

3:48 am

mab

oh, that's great herin!

3:48 am

jillibus

Herin, you are most admirable.

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Wow thanks. That and I jumped up and down about gay rights today.

3:50 am

mab

good for you!

3:50 am

herinfernallady

I figure for me its easier to do this course get a job then study Law

3:50 am

flosey

ok, getting sleepy again, hope this is for good, be back in the morning

3:52 am

herinfernallady

Mab it is hard to do family law when the class doesn't believe that an individual living alone without kin can't be classed as a family

3:53 am

mab

night flosey

3:53 am

herinfernallady

Night Flosey.

3:55 am

mab

I have always resented that distinction. Official forms in the U.S. always ask if one is married, divorced, or single.

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Well I said so I have no family even though I classed my neighbour as an Aunt. She looked after me when I was sick. So by their definition Aboriginal culture is wrong

3:56 am

mab

or widowed.

3:57 am

jillibus

Just checked email and found one from Tygerbryght. She's back in the hospital again because the doc feels there's something else going on or she should be healed by now. He also checked and said there's nothing wrong with her heart, which is good news.

3:58 am

mab

Their are lots of cultures that consider friends part of the family. My Eritrean friends always speak of 'my cousin,' but they often mean a friend.

3:59 am

herinfernallady

OH Jill that is good.

3:59 am

jillibus

And now I must go to bed. Night all.

4:00 am

mab

Poor tygeryght. Hospital is miserable, although it's the place to be for a quicker diagnosis.

4:00 am

mab

night jilli

4:00 am

herinfernallady

My g.f besty is my friend. I class her as family. They are lucky I didn't say pack.

4:00 am

herinfernallady

OH Jill send her my love

4:00 am

jillibus

This is her third visit for her cellulitis.

4:00 am

mab

terrible!

4:01 am

herinfernallady

poor Tyger

4:02 am

jillibus

herin, I would if I could but I am not able. We'll have to wait until she's home again, in about a week, she says.

4:02 am

herinfernallady

Well please do Jill what ever you can

4:03 am

herinfernallady

OMG i may be able to get $950 edumacation supplement. I can't believe this

4:04 am

mab

free money! hurray!

4:06 am

herinfernallady

Its not Free money YAH its paying an awful lot off my books. I can't believe this. Today I was talking about my dear friend that has passed away (a few years ago) and why I am fighting gay rights for him, His song was on my ipod and now this. wow

4:07 am

mab

text books are incredibly dear

4:08 am

mab

wow, it really snowed in London

4:08 am

BabbleRabble

I would be interested in finding out how you would argue that someone living alone is a family. every definition I have seen embodies more that one person. there is a difference between what constitutes a family and who one considers family.

4:09 am

mab

what if one had dissociative disorder? huh? huh? what then mr. rabble?

4:09 am

mab

seriously, though, is it really a useful distinction?

4:10 am

herinfernallady

Babble we were talking about personally not legally

4:10 am

BabbleRabble

because you consider someone family does not make him or her a family

4:11 am

herinfernallady

But this is my personal view Babble. Legally is different

4:13 am

joshuavorbis

down to 14 and still no list. feeeels goooood

4:13 am

BabbleRabble

you said. "it is hard to do family law"

4:13 am

mab

'Set this House in Order,' by Matt Ruff is a marvelous novel, somewhat based on the idea of multiple personalities. I'd recommend it.

4:14 am

herinfernallady

Sorry my darling BabRab. I should have said. Doing the actual Family Law legal component isn't hard its dealing with the other students

4:14 am

herinfernallady

HI Josh

4:14 am

mrpresident

family is a unit of more than 1.

4:15 am

mab

what constitutes a family? a household? single people have that

4:15 am

joshuavorbis

hi herinfernallady

4:15 am

mrpresident

so by definition (by law) your cat can be your family member

4:15 am

mab

I say why not :D

4:16 am

mrpresident

no mab, just cause you have a house, doesn't mean you have a family. A household is in term a house with working members

4:16 am

mab

my dust mites and my cat are my family. and the radio, of course.

4:16 am

mrpresident

indeed mab!

4:16 am

BabbleRabble

try and get unemployment for them

4:17 am

mab

nah, that's silly. they all work very hard.

4:17 am

herinfernallady

MR PRES I HAVE NEWS

4:17 am

mrpresident

ah, now that is a definition not immediately applied to a household. I do not work, I raise children, but I can't get unemployment benefits... so am I not a family member in a household?

4:18 am

mab

excellent point.

4:18 am

mrpresident

I would more easily get unemployment benefits for my cat

4:18 am

mab

you should have been compensated when you were so ill.

4:18 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/c4ef7g this is important for you MR Pres

4:19 am

herinfernallady

OH and pets dont count as family. OH and Mr Pres can't get benifits as Lickety owns her and earns to much

4:20 am

mrpresident

yes, my husband 'owns' me. It is rather a sad situation that because he earns money, I can't benefit from sickness or maternity leave

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres that TINY url is new news

4:20 am

mab

seriously, if equality reigned, you would get benefits while ill.

4:20 am

BabbleRabble

what are you leaving?

4:20 am

mrpresident

ok infern

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Mab it applies to man too.

4:21 am

mab

it's horrendous thinking of being so ill and having children to be looked after.

4:21 am

mrpresident

a paid job babrab

4:21 am

BabbleRabble

so lickety pays you?

4:21 am

mrpresident

ah, I will get that infern

4:22 am

mrpresident

no he doesn't babrab

4:22 am

mrpresident

I left a paid job to be sick

4:22 am

BabbleRabble

you said you do not work

4:22 am

mab

here, many companies grant benefits to men and women who must take time off to care for elderly parents or children

4:23 am

mab

it's common parlance: 'oh i don't work, i stay home with the kids (a work like a dog)

4:24 am

lov3rgrl

a person can actually get paid by the state for being a caregiver, even if it's a parent or grandaprent

4:25 am

mrpresident

one cannot work if one is sick. and if one is married, they cannot get sickness payment or unemployment payment if they are married.

4:25 am

herinfernallady

No Mab you see man/ women married or defacto (Now including Homosexuals in Victoria YAH) their payment of what they get is based on what the partners earns. So say Jill was married to Bob and bob earned $50 000 a year and they had 2 kids. One day Bob has an illness that stops him from working and he goes to Centrelink (the government agency that helps). Based on their assets and how much she earns depends on how much or little He will get

4:25 am

mab

are you always this pugnacious this early in the a.m., babblerabble?

4:25 am

lov3rgrl

atleast in colorado i know that for sure.

4:25 am

mrpresident

if I was not married, I could get both sickness and unemployment benefit

4:25 am

mab

thanks for the clarification lov

4:26 am

lov3rgrl

i don't think it applies to one's children, unless they are over 18. don't quote me but i think that's how it works

4:26 am

BabbleRabble

you simply can ignore me

4:26 am

herinfernallady

http://www.centrelink.gov.au/ for further information on this strange and wonderful thing

4:26 am

mab

yah, that's part of the formula here as well.

4:26 am

mrpresident

I believe in the constitution of marriage, but not the unconstitutional unequity of sickness and unemployment benefits

4:26 am

herinfernallady

Babs we aren't ignoring you dear

4:26 am

BabbleRabble

did not say you were

4:27 am

mrpresident

he didn't say that infern

4:27 am

mrpresident

inequity btw (sorry)

4:27 am

lov3rgrl

not meant as an insult to anyone... simply a friendly, slightly amused observation... has anyone else noticed that there's almost always a debate or soapbox going on in the chat?

4:27 am

lov3rgrl

: )

4:27 am

mrpresident

debate is healthy

4:27 am

herinfernallady

Babs I don't understand?

4:27 am

herinfernallady

HI Love

4:27 am

lov3rgrl

agreed

4:28 am

mab

debate is good.

4:28 am

mrpresident

soap opera is facinating!

4:28 am

mrpresident

gossip is evil

4:28 am

mab

soap is even better ;)

4:28 am

mrpresident

babble chat is random

4:28 am

herinfernallady

There is a CareGivers allowence here

4:28 am

mrpresident

soap smells nice!

4:28 am

lov3rgrl

ha, try working in a part of a hospital employing all women and then see how evil gossip is. it's unbearable sometimes.

4:29 am

mab

l'sharon harah - gossip in hebrew, strictly forbidden

4:29 am

lov3rgrl

coincidence? i think not

4:30 am

mrpresident

what coincidence lov3grl?

4:30 am

BabbleRabble

to be accused of being pugnacious is rather interesting since all I have done was make reference to what people said .. no resort to force or violence

4:30 am

herinfernallady

OH and how can you not play fetch with a kitten when they drop their throw toy on your feet

4:30 am

mab

Yes, herin, you are much more advance than this sad-assed nation; your benefit is national

4:31 am

herinfernallady

MAB you have Mr Obama Now

4:31 am

lov3rgrl

that "gossip" in hebrew means "strictly forbidden"

4:31 am

mab

I'm not wholly serious babblerabble, but you were quite specific in noting inconsistencies; not unlike a lawyer.

4:32 am

mrpresident

who said you were argumentative?

4:32 am

mrpresident

ah! I understand lov3

4:32 am

BabbleRabble

I was a lawyer

4:33 am

mab

hmmm...

4:33 am

herinfernallady

But I love BABRab other side of the box ideas

4:33 am

mrpresident

I appreciate your views babrab. occassionally you remind me of another babbler who is now gone...

4:33 am

herinfernallady

Mr pres who?

4:33 am

mab

gone, as in passed on?

4:34 am

mrpresident

not obliged to say infern...
No, just gone cause he didn't take well to other people's POV

4:34 am

mrpresident

I like that babrab sticks to his cheese

4:34 am

herinfernallady

OH yes ok yes I know who.

4:34 am

mrpresident

babrab, i like that you stick to your cheese

4:35 am

mrpresident

sorry to take about you, to you

4:35 am

mab

oh that silly many with the spaghetti monster - he was not very bright - not at all my impression of babrab.

4:35 am

mrpresident

spaghetti monster?? oh boy! now I am lost!! LOL

4:35 am

mab

man, not many

4:36 am

joshuavorbis

i have me7 and tr7, what am i missing?

4:36 am

mab

never mind. I guess I don't know.

4:37 am

mrpresident

me7 ??

4:37 am

mab

sorry josh. don't know

4:37 am

mrpresident

ah, fi7

4:38 am

joshuavorbis

ugh, saw the fi7 immediately after you said that -thanks

4:38 am

mab

oh, old fashioned term, at least in u.s.

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Well the reason I find most of my class mates rude and annoying is this reason. Today doing this exercise 4 people said ''Disagree'' most said agree. Now when M was saying why she disagreed people form the Agreed side were talking over her and not listening to her. So me being fire / water Scorpio said ''would you shut up and listen to her''. There was the typical teenager that responded with ''oh snarky''. When It came to Agreed to say why they agreed Silence. That is just rude.

4:40 am

mab

well done, i say herin, for whatever it;s worth.

4:41 am

herinfernallady

I tend to open my mouth to exchange feet most of the time.

4:41 am

mab

been there more than once

4:42 am

mab

although i have a terrible time speaking up for myself

4:42 am

mab

I speak up for others better.

4:42 am

mab

when t'is me my voice is inaudible

4:43 am

herinfernallady

I am hoping that Lawyer Barbie and Ken give up and quit. I have already stated to M that I will never give up on gay rights. I think that they may think I am a lesbian. And so be it.

4:44 am

mab

but i every other thing i say, on average, is incomprehensible, not because erudite, just because jumbled.

4:44 am

herinfernallady

lol Mab

4:45 am

mab

so much about me, glorious me. will shut up. you're welcome.

4:47 am

Hello Judi! Thanks so much for asking. It was tense, but okay. Tertiare cried, and acted really bold towards me, which in a way I appreciated, because the teacher saw what I was dealing with at home. But Terti could see that we werent messing around, and that she was BUSTED, so she snapped to pretty quick. Homework last night went smoothly, so maybe there is hope

2:33 pm

jesdraggon

yeah. if it's not painful, probably okay to ignore for a while. but watch for any kind of swelling or discomfort, sometimes they get infections in the root after the pulp dies.
