Hugabugs

I tried going dogless for about 6 months... just couldn't stand not having a pup around and broke down and got one

3:23 am

sandyloo

andree, why don't you discuss getting a little dog with the landlord, sometimes they will be reasonable if you are a good tenant

3:23 am

herinfernallady

With renting our biggest problem is the cat shredding everything.

7:33 am

crosshair

we had laying hens once..up here they are a pain in the butt as a hobby,especially in the winter,heating lamps,bales of hay and you still go out there some morning to find that one of the stupid things stood in one spot all night in his water dish while it all froze around his ankles,not to mention the ones that get a taste for egg shell.that happens if you dont get out there twice a day and grab those eggs and they step on one..

7:34 am

mrpresident

I am just going with the Borg way of naming... ie 2 of 6

7:34 am

crosshair

dont forget to buy grit;)

7:38 am

mrpresident

7:38 am

crosshair

free range is best mrp with a nice big fenced paddock leading to thier little chicken barn

7:39 am

crosshair

7:40 am

crosshair

thier feet swell and they cant stand and you end up with all theese birds falling over all the time

7:40 am

crosshair

and clean poop[ free water(they love to poop in thier water supply) or they get rickets

7:42 am

sprite

good afternoon all

7:42 am

Jacula

Speaking of things in their place, I have a load of washing that needs to come out of the machine and onto the line to dry. I'd better go and do that.

NonoNanette

all very important tasks but you will be ready in no time at all

10:10 am

Shirlockc

10:28 am

JBV

I think I just realized, looking at your photo, red, that although we have hundreds of photos of us as kids, I don't think I have one with just my mom and me - I think she was the one taking all the pictures!

10:28 am

NonoNanette

shirloc have you tried a different location for kitty to eat and drink

10:28 am

10:29 am

hi red, what a sweet pic

10:29 am

JBV

I have found that recycling old photos as gifts (with a nice frame) is usually a much appreciated gift

10:29 am

redturtlehead

I like this theme a lot.

10:30 am

sprite

good idea! I wish my scanner would behave so I could scan a pic.

10:30 am

JBV

my sister just reupholstered an old family armchair (circa 1950) and I have a photo of her sitting on the original at 3 years old - she loved it!

10:30 am

sprite

wow, that is special, JBV

10:30 am

redturtlehead

Thats so cool JBV. I like that sort of thing.

10:30 am

NonoNanette

I don't think i have any pics of myself as a small child..... i lost almost all photos in a flood several years ago

10:31 am

redturtlehead

Oh Nanette, thats sad do you have brothers sisters that might have some?

10:31 am

sprite

rotten flood! Just the things you can never replace :(

10:31 am

JBV

we have a nice tradition in our family - my mom made a "photo wheel" (it's like a rolodex) with all our best family photos - and my sister, brother and I now rotate it so that all of us have a chance to own it for a while

10:31 am

NonoNanette

they have both passed on red and both were much older than I

10:32 am

redturtlehead

Oh nanette very sad.

10:32 am

sprite

10:32 am

JBV

that's very sad, NoNo

10:32 am

Shirlockc

note to self: 1st things to save in emergencies

10:33 am

JBV

it's in my home now, so I have taken it upon myself to copy and scan as much as I can before I have to relinquish it again

10:33 am

redturtlehead

Thats one reason I like to now have scanned stuff saved in a few places including On line.

10:33 am

NonoNanette

it was the only things lost in flood that could not be replaced and it saddened me immensely

10:33 am

redturtlehead

I feel sad for you. I treasure photos of my Grandmother when she was 3- years...Big hugs for nono.

10:33 am

NonoNanette

I have done that with a lot of my kids pictures red

10:40 am

flosey

red, our entire family watched Mash,

10:40 am

redturtlehead

I may go with a brackish tank because there are several fish that do well with a few bits of salt, but not as much knowledge required!

10:40 am

sprite

aw that is really cute, chiley! But your icon of your son and grandchild was equally delightful.

10:40 am

redturtlehead

I Love MASH, Thats left over from an old icon day!

10:40 am

chiley

Oh, I've never seen one of those.

10:41 am

10:41 am

flosey

J. C.

Really, red - even as a girl?

10:48 am

redturtlehead

Yes, you can see it in the icon. I was called a boy for soooo many years.

10:48 am

sprite

in dutch that is called a plant pot hairdo. Seriously. They used to put a plant pot on a child's head, and then cut off all that escaped from it.

10:49 am

flosey

red, my sister and I had very short hair but long enough at the sides to get a great big metal curler in every night - now that was an uncomfortable sleep!

10:49 am

J. C.

Oh, I can't see your entire head there, red - but from what I can see, it doesn't look as 'boyish' as mine did - and you look ever so cute! :)

10:49 am

redturtlehead

Metal curlers for kids ouch!

10:49 am

redturtlehead

Thanks JC...I was a very shy kid. with short short hair.

11:09 am

redturtlehead

sleep is more important than Babble..

11:09 am

hootowl

Would I recognise that worm in englis?

11:09 am

speedfreak

nice seeing this group I am not usually on the same time as you all lately, time for me to get saturday housework going....later

11:09 am

sprite

I'd rather have him sleep and get better, than babbling and draining himself, hootowl. Please just give him a big hug from me?

11:09 am

hootowl

you now, that language I'm supposed to know....

11:09 am

sprite

11:09 am

hootowl

11:10 am

hootowl

Well thats english enough.

11:10 am

sprite

Since I have ea 5/10 dinner,I can do a paragraph full of hi 5/12 on a full stomach and a refreshed mind. Th 4/5 si 4/4 had some problems at the flip,but glad it’s better now. To be ho 6/21, this has not been the ea 7/28 grid for me. I've finished other ones with more ea 4/4. At the on 5/10 of this grid, I new it would be hard. I ha 4/5 it when the grid is hard. I’ve been in th4/5 se4/4 for so long that my fo4/7 is asleep in my sh 4/5.Maybe I would have found the words better if I had been smokin’ some ha4/6. I'll look forever for a 4-letter word.Then it hi4/5 me and it's right in front of my face. Tried to get hubby to babble with but he is an 4/4–babble.He said, “ye 4/7 right! Maybe in my ne 4/9 life!” He sh 5/12 away from it. He will always te 5/10 me about the hours I spend babbling.He tells me in a joking to 4/4 that I should ne6/18 the house instead of babbling. I told him the house was already ne 4/4. I se 4/4 him to the store so I could babble in peace. And now it is time for me to ex 4/9 and move on 4/4 other things. *ex 5/20 quietly to go shower*

8:52 pm

J. C.

You must've missed my clue - so here it is again: they are all alternate spellings (sort of), of Jamaican huts.

8:52 pm

harpjane

they are good, jill, remember the song it's an old sha**** in old sh**** town?

8:52 pm

tygerbryght

oh, yeah. hi back to those who spoke. sorry, I'm half asleep

8:52 pm

jillibus

sorry, JC, too thick to get them -- *looking again*

8:52 pm

Uneaixoise

say, ruru . . . earlier you were talking about wine . . . FYI when I was a student in Provence, my landlady would send me to the local wine distributor with a wire carrier of empty wine bottles and they'd fill them up for about 35 cents each . . . those were the days!

8:52 pm

harpjane

that's my least favorite of the csi'a

8:52 pm

lilliann

does he ruru??

8:52 pm

J. C.

And the 3rd and 4th one, have a two-letter greeting at the end of them.

8:52 pm

J. C.

I hope that helps?

8:52 pm

rururocks

really? that's cool

8:53 pm

jillibus

ah yes, JC -- trouble is I don't know Jamaican huts, mon

8:53 pm

rururocks

yes he does lillian

8:53 pm

J. C.

Well - read what I've just said now, Jill? I hope that's more helpful - sorry my other one wasn't!

8:53 pm

tygerbryght

that's okay, JC. I've got it now. just count it to my sleepyhead, with apologies to babrab

8:54 pm

lilliann

8:55 pm

J. C.

Jilli - the 3rd and 4th in that group, have a 2-letter greeting at the end of them - only one is plural.

8:55 pm

J. C.

Oh flippin' heck, Lilliann! :P

8:55 pm

lilliann

tired and tight, so typing crap...lol

8:57 pm

harpjane

8:57 pm

J. C.

Erm, preferably money - not the sort you find in a Monopoly game, either! :P

rururocks

good luck everyone...

8:58 pm

Jadeomoan

hey guys....I'm wiped.....is the grid worth starting?

8:58 pm

Uneaixoise

take your time

8:58 pm

J. C.

;Of course, Une . . . and it's a pity people are purposely breeding them and other crosses, when there are already so many wonderful, adorable, sweet dogs in desperate need of homes - the shelters are overflowing, and so many are put down. :( My present and last dogs were rescues, adopted from one . . .

8:58 pm

renfield

enjoy din din ru

8:58 pm

lilliann

hi jade

8:58 pm

J. C.

I'm sure the dog is lovely, though . . .

8:58 pm

Jadeomoan

hi Lilliann

8:58 pm

lilliann

enjoy ruru. tc

8:58 pm

rururocks

(tilts head) thanks ren ren

8:59 pm

renfield

you have a pupster jc? mine have all been rescues

8:59 pm

J. C.

Probably very smart, being those two breeds.

8:59 pm

lilliann

it's not too bad jade, but if you're that tired, i wouldn't start it

8:59 pm

Uneaixoise

JC, don't get me started -- I have 3 rescue dogs myself and my brother goes and buys a Weimaraner for himself and a labradoodle for his daughter . . . I presented my case but . . .

8:59 pm

J. C.

Good for you, renfield - a big high-five to you!!!

8:59 pm

J. C.

I see, Une . . .

8:59 pm

J. C.

Good for you, too!!!

8:59 pm

Jadeomoan

I had 5 stories to do today and I JUST got home, been at work for over 13 hours today.....

9:00 pm

Uneaixoise

good grief, jade!

9:00 pm

J. C.

Sorry - hello, Jade!

9:00 pm

J. C.

That sounds like some of my days . . .

9:00 pm

herinfernallady

Hi. Une your dog may be a standard poodle cross Lab.

9:00 pm

J. C.

Fortunately, I have a bit of a break for a little while. We've just opened up the farm again for the spring, summer and autumn - so working on getting settled in again.

9:01 pm

herinfernallady

HI and ignore me.

9:01 pm

Uneaixoise

not mine . . . my niece's . . . I thought I'd convinced her to adopt a rescue greyhound but obviously that didn't happen

9:01 pm

Jadeomoan

tell me about it! And I had NO help either, all mastered and finished by yours truly. Now, I have to make dinner for the Munchkin, and get myself ready for bed...and ugh!

9:01 pm

J. C.

???

9:01 pm

herinfernallady

We call them labradoodle. Rescue Greyhounds are lovely but not everyones thing

9:01 pm

J. C.

Hmmm, OK - I'm 'ignoring' someone because I was drinking tea for a minute? That's interesting . . .

9:01 pm

lilliann

ahhhh, weimareaner. i had a long haired one of those, he was gorgeous. my friend who bred them gave me him has he would escape and kill sheep and the farmer said if he did it agin he would shoot him, and as i lived in kent and she lived in surrey, i had him

9:02 pm

renfield

hey herin

9:02 pm

J. C.

*Shakes head.*

9:02 pm

herinfernallady

RENIIE

9:02 pm

Uneaixoise

herin, i would have been thrilled if she'd adopted ANY rescue dog

9:02 pm

renfield

howz the kit kats herin?

9:02 pm

herinfernallady

No JC that was Hi and Ignore that your dog may be a standard poodle x comment

9:02 pm

J. C.

Really, Lilliann? I've only ever seen smooth-coated Weimaranars - didn't even know they came with long coats?

9:02 pm

Uneaixoise

wow, lilliann . . .

9:03 pm

Uneaixoise

same here, JC

9:03 pm

J. C.

Oh, I see herin - sorry then!

9:03 pm

herinfernallady

Fur Kids are stupid but cute as usually

9:03 pm

J. C.

It wasn't clear - looked like it was meant that way.

9:03 pm

lilliann

((herin))

9:04 pm

J. C.

I must look up a long or rough coated Weimaranar now, as I'm very curious to see one!

9:04 pm

Uneaixoise

still have 49 to go . . . may head to the list shortly

9:04 pm

lilliann

yes, he is a was a rare dog jc. she used to breed him with a short haired bitch, some came out short haired and some long.

9:05 pm

lilliann

i have a picture of him somewhere, i'll find it and put it on my profile

9:05 pm

J. C.

Oh Jilli - I am sorry, but I forgot when I clued you on those 'sh' words to add that the 2-letter greeting was reversed! :P

9:05 pm

J. C.

I assume you got it anyway?

9:05 pm

herinfernallady

Une pver in Aus you can get pure breed rescue dogs too. My friend has a Dogue de Bordeaux and a Malinois

9:05 pm

J. C.

Yes, do that Lilliann - would love to see him!

9:05 pm

herinfernallady

((((lilli)))))))

9:05 pm

J. C.

Yes, herin - you can anywhere. They have breed-specific rescue groups everywhere now . . .

9:05 pm

featherbee

sigh. ok got 5 lessons done for my smartboard at school, guess i'll see if i can finish this one

9:06 pm

Uneaixoise

here too, herin

9:06 pm

Uneaixoise

I love springers and at springer rescues they often have purebred dogs

9:06 pm

J. C.

I only adopt mixes though, simply because they are less adoptable and more in need of a home. Purebreds get snapped up much quicker . . .

9:06 pm

herinfernallady

All our pets be it pure breed or kitty have been rescues of some sort.

9:06 pm

lilliann

me and my ex husband split up and he ended up going to live on a farm, hopefully they had no sheep!! he also use to bring down deer, but weimeraners are gun dogs

9:06 pm

Uneaixoise

and my experience with mixes is that they're healthier

9:06 pm

Abba Dabba

thats nice of u

9:07 pm

featherbee

(this "one" meaning the grid, not a lesson)

9:07 pm

J. C.

My last and present dogs are so wondeful, I can't imagine how they were overlooked until I came along, simply due to being mongrels . . .

9:07 pm

herinfernallady

I love the old Weimies

9:07 pm

herinfernallady

HI Feather

9:07 pm

J. C.

Yes, Une - they're such complete out-crosses, that's why.

9:07 pm

Uneaixoise

hey feather!

9:07 pm

J. C.

Erm - 'wonderful', that was supposed to be. :P

9:07 pm

featherbee

hiya!

9:07 pm

J. C.

My typing isn't bad for a five year old me, though? ;)

9:08 pm

lilliann

we had a rescue bitch who looked like a fox jc, she was the bestdog we ever had. very protective of us all

9:08 pm

lilliann

hi feather

9:08 pm

renfield

those long haired puppsters sure are cute!

9:08 pm

J. C.

Awww, she must've been beautiful, Lilliann?

9:08 pm

J. C.

Do you have any photos of her?

9:09 pm

featherbee

our dog isn't exactly a rescue, but she's more of a cast-off from a friend who lived in the city and knew she'd be happier with us out in the country

9:09 pm

DeathBaby09

hello,

9:09 pm

J. C.

Hello, DeathBaby . . .

9:09 pm

Minveryork

Hello DeathBaby09! How are you?Welcome to the grid

9:09 pm

featherbee

we are pretty sure she has border collie in her, especially when we see her run, and try to herd the turkeys that wander through!

9:10 pm

featherbee

hi deathbaby

9:10 pm

renfield

what mix are your puppsters jc?

9:10 pm

lilliann

i have an old one of her. it's with my weimeraner and poodle(separate pics) so when i find one i'll find them all and add them

9:10 pm

J. C.

Well that's good for her, featherbee . . .

9:11 pm

lilliann

and we had a rescue border collie at one time

9:11 pm

featherbee

yep, she's a happy girl out here. and still gets to see her city-mommy at times as well.

9:11 pm

J. C.

I only have one, renfield - I had one before her, too. She is a Whippet cross, and the shelter only knew her mother was about 3/4 Whippet. Her father is unknown - I suspect she may have some poodle and possibly Manchester Terrier in her.

9:11 pm

Abba Dabba

Im sorry but i cant belive u guys pay money to a website!

9:11 pm

lilliann

hi death baby

9:11 pm

J. C.

She is small, smooth-coated and solid black, except for a tiny white streak on her chest.

9:11 pm

featherbee

abba, you don't have to pay.

9:11 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone!

9:12 pm

featherbee

Well, Abba Dabba, we support the efforts of the person providing this - and help offset his costs in providing it .

9:12 pm

renfield

9:12 pm

herinfernallady

9:12 pm

lbdawger

RENNIE!!!

9:12 pm

renfield

i pay because i'm not cheap

9:12 pm

J. C.

And for pity's sake - $14 US is a tiny amount, expecially as it's a one-time fee!

9:12 pm

lilliann

hi lbd

9:13 pm

lbdawger

Hi Lilliann!

9:13 pm

J. C.

And that too, renfield . . . ;)

9:14 pm

lbdawger

HI JC!

9:14 pm

Jadeomoan

she'a watching tv for once..

9:14 pm

featherbee

no, no, you get the tile stats and word stats for free the first two weeks. if you decide to not pay, you can still play, you just don't get to see that information, which is very helpful.

9:14 pm

renfield

abba dabba dooby - what 2 weeks?

9:14 pm

J. C.

No, Abba - you only get the tile and word stats for two weeks if you do NOT pay! You get them permanently, if you do pay.

9:15 pm

lilliann

you. easy jc?!?!

9:15 pm

J. C.

*Shakes head again!*

9:15 pm

9:19 pm

Minveryork

Bye herinfernallady!I will see you tomorrow in the log

9:19 pm

J. C.

Mt. Washmore? Is that a mountain of washing? :P

9:21 pm

J. C.

I'm picturing the heads in Mt. Rushmore now, with dirty laundry hanging off them . . .

J. C.

Or perhaps clean laundry, drying . . .

9:21 pm

renfield

9:21 pm

J. C.

Oh dear, Lilliann - sorry to hear that!

9:21 pm

lbdawger

9:22 pm

featherbee

*perks* chocolate?

9:22 pm

lbdawger

the eeee's were a pain for me

9:22 pm

jillibus

Years ago a radio commercial in the French-Canadian province of Quebec advertised a laundry service with a heavy accent -- "Are you tired of that montonous pile of laundry..."?

9:22 pm

lbdawger

okay, *puts plate of homemade truffles in the PB*

9:23 pm

J. C.

Oh that's funny, Jillibus!!!

9:23 pm

featherbee

No problem J.C.

herinfernallady

KJE you can have the black one annoying little pest. The news is when my friend passed away his retirement money was meant to go to his sisters. I organised it *long story short I accidently opened his mail*. I thought they didn't care about him as there was no stone on the grave. Turns out they are using that money plus extra to spend about $3000 on a tombstone.

10:08 pm

lilliann

lol jmc..i wouldn't normally but i saw the time and thought i could blame it on that...lol

10:09 pm

herinfernallady

I just feel like a heavy weight has been lifted. They care but they are just saving money for something really special for him. Then As i was talking about him I saw a shooting star so it was very cool

10:09 pm

kje

i think a tooth is up to a dollar nowadays

10:09 pm

herinfernallady

Jade depends on the issue

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

10:09 pm

10:23 pm

lilliann

LadyNatts

hi minver and thank you

10:25 pm

lbdawger

I don't think we can distance ourselves from being like our mothers. Hopefully we will show the good things about our mothers to our children and they in turn will exhibit those traits as well.

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

TY lady !

10:25 pm

LadyNatts

10:26 pm

LadyNatts

LadyNatts

I hate the fact that I'm like my mother

10:27 pm

LadyNatts

I resisted for sooooo long

10:27 pm

Jadeomoan

IS anyone working the gird?

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

his dad died just short of his 8th birthday so a long time ago. and I am fairly sure I am not clinging to him--I talked for a while about suffering from not enough empty ne4 syndrome

10:29 pm

jmcnrick

I trust you are right lbd

10:29 pm

lilliann

the thing is lbd i seem to be showing my mam's bad traits, which is why i said i would never be like that with my child.....i never got on with my mam all the years i was growing up so was adamant that i ws goignt o do things differently with mine, but it doesn't seem to be working out that way...she is a daddy's girl, just like i was but my husband has a better relationship with her than me, he is great with any child at any age

10:30 pm

jmcnrick

girls tend to be close to their dads during their teens

10:31 pm

LadyNatts

I was very close to my dad. closer than my sister was; closer than my brother was.

10:31 pm

lbdawger

just be patient, Lilliann. hormones and all that will subside and she too will realize that you're doing the best you can.

10:31 pm

jmcnrick

I am so glad my son is living in the dorm this semester I don't even care how much it costs

10:31 pm

LadyNatts

LadyNatts

they're not, not really, they just take vows.

10:39 pm

lilliann

i use to be very close to my brother lbd but because of one thing and another we have grown apart and to be honest it's got to the point where i'm not bothered and i know that sounds bad and i still love him but i can't be bothered with him anymore because of his attitude towards things

10:39 pm

Jacula

Min - that's very presumptuous of you! LOL

10:39 pm

LadyNatts

lol jac... well, I suppose, for just a little while

10:39 pm

lbdawger

lilliann, my brother turned into quite the hermit. but if there was anyone he would talk to, it would be me.

10:40 pm

10:44 pm

Jacula

Lil - that's good. I can understand him not wanting to be on the road any more, although my Other Half still misses it a bit, now office-based. Not so much your own boss when off the road, you see.

10:44 pm

Jacula

lbd - I don't want to go on HRT.

10:45 pm

Oh poor you Jac. Fortunately I never had that problem. I'm just one of those infuriating people who needs about three hours sleep a night.

10:45 pm

Jacula

Another Maggie Thatcher, eh, Frances?

10:45 pm

lilliann

i'm like that with my mam, lady, i love her but don't always like her, even now, probably because of the way she treats my dad...which was the way she usd to treat me but now i'm not there anymore to take it out on, so my poor dad gets it

10:46 pm

Jacula

Oh right, lbd. I've tried several herbal things. Menosan worked for 3 months but then stopped working.

10:48 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Finally finished....thanks to everyones help. Think I'll watch some TV and wait for the flip. Thanks again.

10:48 pm

lilliann

i use to be like that jac...only taken me 4 years to get over it!! i still get slight hot flushes but mowt like i use to. i use to have a fan right by my side of the bed going full pelt every night...use to drive hubby up the wall as he'd be cold...lol

10:48 pm

Jacula

Well done, Gapeach.

10:49 pm

renfield

ye3 ga peachie

10:49 pm

lilliann

bye peach

10:49 pm

Jacula

Lil - we have a clip-on shelf fan each on the shelf abov our bed. Since he had his hernia op., Other Half has been having night sweats, too. LOL

10:50 pm

Frances

Oh Jac what a pair. For heavens sake don't have satin sheets then.

10:50 pm

lilliann

that's good jac, atleast you're the same

10:50 pm

Jacula

I also keep a cold, wet flannel folded into a small oblong beside my bed. It helps a lot if you slap it on your forehead or neck when the sweat strikes.

10:51 pm

Jacula

Satin sheets sound so sexy but they aren't - you slide out of bed every time you move, or the covers slide off, plus they can become full of static.

10:51 pm

Frances

I cannot begin to imagine how uncomfortable that must make you.

10:52 pm

lilliann

i tried hrt when i first had my hysterectomy(i know i've spelt it wrong...lol)but i got really bad headaches so i stopped them, then i tried dofferent herbal tablets and then i changed my diet which helped the most and now i just seem to be getting over it

10:53 pm

renfield

how about icy pops mistress?

10:53 pm

Jacula

Soya milk helps, Lil, as does nettle tea.

10:53 pm

lilliann

satin sheets probably don't help people who get hot flushes, i know when i wore something satiny, it made me hotter

10:54 pm

Jacula

I don't want frostbite, Ren! (Hello, btw.)

10:54 pm

westford

hello everyone have been reading the chat and commiserating

10:54 pm

lilliann

yes, i use to drink soya milk, can't stand the stuff but it did help, since i'm not so bad, i've gone back to semi skimmed milk

10:54 pm

Jacula

Lil - you didn't spell it wrong.

10:55 pm

LadyNatts

nettles... so full of good properties... but damn, I hated when I brushed against them as a child!

10:55 pm

Frances

Hi ren and west.

10:55 pm

lilliann

i stopped having all dairy things and that helped with the hot flushes

10:55 pm

lilliann

hi west

10:55 pm

westford

hi frances

10:55 pm

LadyNatts

oh dear... that's all coming for me... and I cannot go a day without cheese.

10:55 pm

westford

hi lilli

10:56 pm

Jacula

Lil - the 'alpro' chocolate and the strawberry flavour milks are nice.

10:56 pm

lilliann

i use to have the alpro soya(plain but had to add drinking chocolate to it

10:56 pm

Jacula

Ladynatts - coffee and alcohol are bad for hot flushes, too.

10:57 pm

lilliann

i didn't think i could lady but i did..occasionally i add a treat but then i'd get a hot flush...lol

10:57 pm

LadyNatts

well... I don't drink much coffee....

10:57 pm

lilliann

i don't drink coffe, but yes alcohol definitely

10:58 pm

LadyNatts

hmmm... I'm planning ahead, here

10:58 pm

lilliann

i didn't think i had spelt it wrong jac, but then i did...tired!!

10:58 pm

Jacula

I just got Other Half's father to give me a copy of the good/bad food list for cholesterol. Other half found everything he loves is on the banned list. He's going to ha4 me when I put his new diet regime into practice.

10:58 pm

lilliann

my spelling is crap as normal

10:58 pm

LadyNatts

and ... hubby quit smoking a week ago... it's now my turn, but I don't know if I am ready.

10:58 pm

lilliann

lady, you can't stop unless you are ready

10:59 pm

lilliann

best thing is to give your self a date and work upto it

10:59 pm

lilliann

me and hubby did that 5 years ago

10:59 pm

LadyNatts

well... I am getting ready...trying to. more the habit than the addiction, really

10:59 pm

Jacula

Lady - Other Half said to me that before I start him on the diet for lowering cholesterol, we should quit the cancer sticks. I know he's right, and he's quit before, but I never have. I feel the same as you, though I know I'd be better to stop.

11:00 pm

stidmama

LadyN, you can do it. *sending LOTS of support* you will feel so much better!

11:00 pm

Jacula

Habit here, too, Lady.

11:00 pm

sanskitties

cigs are the same a heroin

11:00 pm

stidmama

hello all. does anyone need help?

11:00 pm

Frances

Hello stid

11:00 pm

sanskitties

hardest addiction to get rid of

11:00 pm

Jacula

Hi stid. I'm just here to chat and clue.

11:00 pm

lilliann

actually hubby did on his birthday and i was going to stop when i had my hysterectomy but then they changed the date and we didn't know when, so i just gave up 2 days after hubby and never looked back

11:00 pm

stidmama

oh, then I am not needed, but will stay a little to chat.

11:00 pm

LadyNatts

I am aiming for a) March 25 (what would be my dad's 84th birthday if he were still alive) .. or April 1.

11:00 pm

lilliann

this may we are officially no smokers

11:00 pm

sanskitties

lol can you spell 89 words for me

11:00 pm

lilliann

hi stid

11:01 pm

stidmama

good for you lilliann!

11:01 pm

Jacula

sankitties - Yes, as The Beatles once sang, 'Damn Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git!'

11:01 pm

sanskitties

lol

11:01 pm

Jacula

He also brought potatoes to us and therefore fattening chips. LOL

11:02 pm

Frances

I used to smoke many years ago. One Christmas my father was very ill in hospital. We thought he was dying and I thought, what do you get a dying man for Christmas. I asked what he wanted and he said for me to stop smoking. All the insentive I needed. Haven't had one since.

11:03 pm

sanskitties

good for you frances

11:03 pm

LadyNatts

and your dad is okay?

11:03 pm

lilliann

good for you frances

11:03 pm

sanskitties

all you have to do to get incentive is watch one open heart surgery

11:03 pm

lilliann

i thought i would really miss it, but truth is, hubby and i don't...it is just a habit

11:04 pm

LadyNatts

oh geez... I just realized. today is the anniversary of my dad's death... I mean, I knew it all week, but I didn't think of it today until now.

11:04 pm

Jacula

We'll have to start a Babbler's support group for quitters of the cancer sticks.

11:04 pm

Frances

UNfortunately my father died nearly thirty years ago. I said it was many years ago.

11:05 pm

Jacula

Frances, I feel guilty because my children have asked me to quit many times and I still haven't.

11:05 pm

Frances

I can truthfully say that I have not missed it one bit.

11:05 pm

lilliann

i look back now and don't know why i ever did smoke as i didn't really enjoy it....this game is more addictive and better for you....mmmm, or not...lol...not for our sanity anyway!!! lol

11:05 pm

stidmama

((((oh LadyN!))))

11:05 pm

renfield

i support all those who are giving up the smoke

11:05 pm

Jacula

I must be very selfish.

11:05 pm

LadyNatts

sorry, Frances, I missed that.

11:05 pm

Jacula

Or weak-willed.

11:05 pm

LadyNatts

thank you, stid!

11:06 pm

Jacula

But I know I am not weak-willed, except about certain things. Dieting is no problem.

11:06 pm

LadyNatts

he was the one who influenced me more than anyone else

11:06 pm

lilliann

i always said i would give up when i was pregnant but never did, although i did cut down and when i had pre eclampsia and was worried and stuck in hospital i smoked more...go figure!

11:06 pm

Frances

If you have the right reason to stop it is the easiest thing to do.

11:06 pm

LadyNatts

and when he died, I was devastated.

11:06 pm

Jacula

Keeping the home going as a one-parent family for over a decade was not.

11:07 pm

LadyNatts

so... that's why I picked his birthday to quit. He quit smoking (after 50 years of smoking)... o

11:07 pm

Frances

Same as my father Lady which I suppose is why he wanted me to stop.

11:08 pm

lilliann

jacula, you are not selfish...you can't give up anything, whether it be smoking, food or whatever, unless you are ready to give it up

11:08 pm

Jacula

I guess my reason to give up might be to make my Beloved follow a diet to avoid the heart disease that is rife in his family. If we have to quite smoking before he agrees to follow that diet...

11:09 pm

Frances

Isn't that called give and take Jac?

11:09 pm

Jacula

I should do it for ME really, and drink less booze.

11:09 pm

LadyNatts

me too, jacula

11:09 pm

Jacula

The over-smoking and over-drinking just crept up over the decade after my divorce. I was always pretty controlled before that.

11:10 pm

sanskitties

is there really 154 words in this darn puzzle,lol

11:10 pm

LadyNatts

your divorce was when, jacula?

11:10 pm

sanskitties

you guys do this with a dictionary right

11:10 pm

lilliann

you still have to be ready to give up jac. your hubbys health is a great reason, but if you are not ready then you won't do it, or you might for a few days but you'll just go back to it. will power is great but you have to be rteady in yourself to give up or you won't do it

11:10 pm

LadyNatts

I have 18 left, sanskit, so there must be

11:10 pm

Jacula

There are sanskitties (what happened to your kitties, btw?) and they are mostly fun words.

11:10 pm

Frances

Jac those two litre bottles of cheap cider and lager are no good for you. Give them up!

11:11 pm

Jacula

Lady - not sure. About 15 years ago now.

11:11 pm

jillibus

I think I have a funny giving-up-smoking story. I was a real chain smoker (hubby had quit) and my grandkids began to bug me about it. So did my son, and then they moved from Montreal (where we were) to BC. Air Canada made a no-smoking rule on their planes. I decided I couldn't stand 5 hours on a plane without a ciggie, so went the Nicorettes route, plus some plastic fake cigs which dragged like the real thing (Paipo, a Japanese invention). And off we went to visit the family in BC, only to find son had taken up smoking again. Never mind -- I stayed abstinent.

11:11 pm

Jacula

Frances - I wouldn't dream of drinking those.

11:11 pm

J. C.

I need to give that up, badly . . .

11:12 pm

LadyNatts

lol jilli! great story! .. and hello :D

11:12 pm

Jacula

LOL, jilli.

11:12 pm

Jacula

Good for you though.

11:12 pm

sanskitties

lmao

11:12 pm

sanskitties

very funny story

11:13 pm

lilliann

good for you jilli

11:13 pm

LadyNatts

I've had this cigarette in my mouth for at least the last 15 minutes... but haven't lit it

11:13 pm

LadyNatts

maybe there's hope for me

11:15 pm

Jacula

Lady - you can actually almost get the kick from the first drag on the fag if you suck on it but don't light it. I found a good thing you sniff called 'Logado' years ago. It's great for giving you that 'hit' in places where you can't smoke. The plastic cigarettes are also quite good.

11:15 pm

jillibus

I'm so glad to be rid of those stinking overflowing ashtrays.....

11:15 pm

lilliann

i tried the plasic cigarettes we get here, they are bloody horrible. i took one puff and it made my throat sore so didn't bother, and me and hubby bought the nicotine chewing gum and had one piece. i just used to buy normal gum and peppermints, much cheaper and better tasting....

11:16 pm

Jacula

Nicotine patches are a bit of a problem - you have one on but you still want to smoke. You do smoke and your heart rate goes up like mad.

11:16 pm

lilliann

i'm glad my clothes don't smell of it anymore

11:16 pm

sanskitties

you might try the patch, my hubby did it NOT the way they recomend, but it worked, he did the big dose fore 3 weeks, then the next for 4 weeks, and on an on until he cut a 7 mg patch (smallest) in half for another 6 weeks, then finally nothing. IT wiorked, he smoked for 40 yrs some cannadian brand, he was smoke free finally

11:16 pm

Jacula

jilli - you slut! You should have emptied and washed them more often. LOL

11:16 pm

jillibus

oh yes, after I quit the Nicorettes, I chewed gum for several years. Used to get Ordermarks at school for even thinking about chewing gum. None of that now!

11:17 pm

LadyNatts

we actually both used the patch when we flew to Malaysia last summer (12 hours). I was planning to quit then, but hubby brought cartons of cigs.

11:17 pm

lilliann

we spent a fortune on all the smoking things to give up and either hardly used them or didn't use tham at all. we wasted alot of money

11:17 pm

jillibus

the patch didn't exist when Igave up

11:18 pm

sanskitties

some can do it cold turkey others something else

11:18 pm

jillibus

jac -- what a sweet little girl you were!

11:18 pm

lilliann

we never bothered witht he patches, they were very expensive

11:18 pm

Jacula

People with the habit rather than the nicotine addiction can survive by 'smoking' pencils, pens etc.

11:19 pm

Jacula

Jilli - thank you.

11:19 pm

jillibus

sanskitties, you need your flag -- want to know how to get it?

11:19 pm

sanskitties

yes, how

11:20 pm

Pinikula

hi all...here to try and finish before flip...

11:20 pm

Jacula

I don't know how strong my nicotine addiction is. I'm not a smoker who wakes in the night to top it up. I thinks it's the hand to mouth thing for me, hence the tendency to booze too much, too.

11:20 pm

Jacula

Hi Pink.

11:20 pm

jillibus

sans -- go to your My Account, upto the right-hand corner, click on the little square which says Show Profile

11:20 pm

LadyNatts

I'm with you, Jac

11:20 pm

lilliann

i think i was like that jac, which is why i took up hobbies using my hands

11:21 pm

LadyNatts

which is why my latest addiction is suiting me well (see profile)

11:21 pm

Jacula

Some smokers, a few years ago, would suck babies' dummies (soothers) to help them to give up. Don't think I'll go down that route though.

11:21 pm

jillibus

jac, there was a great TV show years ago which gave you a quiz to see WHY you smoked. My reason was oral gratification, hence the success of the fake cigs.

11:21 pm

Jacula

Lil - nearly all of my hobbies involve using my hands.

11:21 pm

sanskitties

ok I clicked on it

11:21 pm

lilliann

oh wow lady...they are cute

11:22 pm

sanskitties

thanks

11:22 pm

jillibus

and nos, sans, you have your flag!

11:22 pm

LadyNatts

thanks lilliann :)

11:22 pm

jillibus

*now

11:22 pm

J. C.

No kitties?

11:23 pm

lilliann

i must admit i use to sew when i smoked and i would just stop sewing and have a cigarette

11:23 pm

J. C.

Mrrrreow?

11:23 pm

sanskitties

nice talking with you, im running out of juice, low battery, and my bedtime. Thanks again hope to talk to you tomorrow

11:23 pm

lilliann

so, do you smoke alot jc?

11:23 pm

J. C.

I wish I didn't smoke - I need to quit that.

11:23 pm

Jacula

jilli - I think that's my reason, too. With the plastic fag (long since lost its tube of whatever the 'kick' stuff was) and my trusty 'Logado' sniff panel (no longer available but lasts for years, not months, like the packet alludes) I may be able to do it.

11:23 pm

jillibus

nighty night sans -- prrrr

11:23 pm

lilliann

nite sans. tace care

11:23 pm

J. C.

Not heavily, Lilliann - but any regular smoking is bad.

11:24 pm

jillibus

the Paipos I used were a very pleasant light menthol

11:24 pm

J. C.

And I think I'm feeling the effects of it, after all these years . . . I'm sure quitting would make a big difference!

11:24 pm

lilliann

very true jc, but you'll give up when you are ready

11:25 pm

Jacula

Anyone ever tried those disgusting herbal cigarettes they used to sell in chemist shops?

11:25 pm

jillibus

Here none of my friends smoke any more. All used to.

11:25 pm

LadyNatts

oh! I did, Jacula!

11:25 pm

lilliann

diving in for my last 13..

11:25 pm

LadyNatts

even my kids told me to go back to regular cigarettes, the smell was so bad!

11:25 pm

jillibus

gogogo lil!

11:25 pm

Jacula

And, Lil, do you remember those cigarettes the Government issued in the 80s when they were doing the stop smoking drive>

11:26 pm

lilliann

yes jac, they smell like bonfires or wacky backy as someone said to me...never had the stuff so wouldn't know

11:26 pm

lilliann

plus they were bloody horrible

11:26 pm

jillibus

I have a huge pile of unused ashtrays in a cupboard.

11:26 pm

DeathBaby09

jill send them to me i need them

11:27 pm

Jacula

Whacky baccy smells like burning rope. The government issue cigs were not so good. I don't smoke whacky baccy as it gives me a thumping headache.

11:27 pm

lilliann

don't think so jac, nothing comoing to mind...only those herbal ones

11:27 pm

Jacula

jilli - you can use them as plant pot stands.

11:27 pm

lilliann

*coming

11:27 pm

J. C.

Jilli - what's today's icon theme?

11:28 pm

jillibus

what a bore it was at cocktail parties, trying to hold a drink in one hand, and a plate in the other as well as a cigarette, and help oneself to few little hors d'oeuvres

11:28 pm

stidmama

I can't be anywhere near people who smoke... the chemicals make me so ill.

11:28 pm

stidmama

hello again, I wandered off to prune the new icon.

11:28 pm

DeathBaby09

lol why dont yall just call it pot or weed its the same thing

11:28 pm

Frances

Last year my daughter in law started 'smoking' an electronic ciggarette.

11:28 pm

Pinikula

hi stid...

11:29 pm

stidmama

hey pini!!! is that a baby pic?

11:29 pm

lilliann

electronic??

11:29 pm

lilliann

hi pini

11:29 pm

stidmama

nope, still a mermaid...

11:29 pm

Pinikula

where???

11:29 pm

DeathBaby09

frances those dont work i've tried them

11:29 pm

stidmama

did it work frances?

11:29 pm

jillibus

Next icon theme is for Sundays -- Babble Blessings: Share A Piece Of Good News / Something You Are Grateful For (mrpresident)

11:29 pm

Pinikula

she didn't send me a pic yet :(

11:29 pm

J. C.

Hi, stidmama! :)

11:30 pm

Frances

Yes it glows at the end and emits something like steam and has a nicotine capsul inside.

11:30 pm

J. C.

And Pinikula! :)

11:30 pm

Pinikula

hi jc

11:30 pm

J. C.

Love the photo of the two of you - very nice! :)

11:30 pm

stidmama

that's the theme for every Sunday btw, JC!

11:30 pm

Jacula

I know, stid. I was also reading a discussion on this chog a couple of weeks ago where people who can't stand others wearing perfume, deodorant etc., were saying how it all makes them gag or whatever. I went in the other room to Other Half and told him, 'No point in going to a Babble meet! We smoke, wear perfume and deodorant and would be persona non grata.'

11:30 pm

J. C.

Hmmm . . . what photo would I post for that? One of Mike, of course! ;)

11:30 pm

Frances

She is now back on the real things.

11:30 pm

LadyNatts

interesting, frances

11:30 pm

lilliann

because i couldn't remember what it was called db, apart from whacky backy...lol

11:30 pm

J. C.

Or one of us together . . .

11:31 pm

Frances

Lol Jac.

11:31 pm

Jacula

Sunday theme is rather boring these days.

11:31 pm

J. C.

Ooh, whacky baccy, yes - I *used* to do that! :P

11:31 pm

stidmama

I make sure I don't go to people's houses until I know them, Jac. Even being in large public spaces can cause my skin to burn if someone who uses certain fabric softeners comes within ten feet.

11:31 pm

Frances

No surprise there then J.C.

11:32 pm

lilliann

i was going to ask if it worked frances, but just seen that it obviously doesn't!

11:32 pm

stidmama

rofl at Frances' reply to JC

11:32 pm

Frances

For a minute stid I thought you had the Cuban flag up there.

11:32 pm

Jacula

That must be very hard for you, Stid. I'm glad I'm not allergic to much other than cats.

11:32 pm

Jacula

And I have a cat. LOL.

11:32 pm

stidmama

hm. never been to Cuba of course, but decided to be in a sunny place this past week! LOL

11:33 pm

Jacula

I'll have to get him paid mousing work to pay for the extra tissues I use to blow my no4.

11:33 pm

stidmama

yes, jac -- it's inconvenient and embarassing. and frustrating because the allergies are increasing in number and severity. I highly recommend NOT being allergic!

11:33 pm

Frances

Well the only allery I have is to rubber. I say no more.

11:34 pm

lilliann

is there nothing you can take or use to help stid?

11:34 pm

J. C.

How about this, for an icon (refresh, please) - she is some/thing/one I'm grateful for! :)

11:34 pm

Jacula

I'm allergic to bran and wholemeal bread, too. Gives me the runs.

11:34 pm

lilliann

mmmmm, i won't go there francis...lol

11:34 pm

Jacula

Nice dog, jc

11:34 pm

jillibus

I'm pretty tolerant of scents, but LOATHE patchouli. Unfortunately this island had a large population of the kind of people who love the stuff and come into the library to use the free computers. Gaaaa.

11:35 pm

J. C.

Thank you, Jacula . . .

11:35 pm

Frances

Ah the beautiful Valerie.

11:35 pm

renfield

i'm allergic to flax

11:35 pm

stidmama

that's unusual, ren!

11:35 pm

stidmama

*mental note to note put patchouli in my dreds next time I see jill*

11:35 pm

jillibus

Aww, JC, your sweet dog. But please change your text -- that's not you at age 5!

11:35 pm

lilliann

valerie is lovely, but she's very shy isn'r she jc?

11:36 pm

jillibus

ugh, stid!!!

11:36 pm

Jacula

jilli - I used to wear patchouli to work back in the 80s, after it was all the rage in the 60s and 70s, and the older woman at work (who was 50 to our late teens and early 20s) would sniff the air and say, 'I can smell hippies!'.

11:36 pm

stidmama

puppy looks worried, JC! as in "what is he up to now???"

11:36 pm

J. C.

Oh gee - thank you again, Frances! :P I'm glad you weren't here for the comment she made to me earlier, stidmama - HAHAHA! :P

11:36 pm

J. C.

Frances knows me all too well already - seems to be nothing about me that surprises her! ;)

11:36 pm

J. C.

Erm, probably stidmama - life with me is never dull! :P

11:36 pm

lilliann

patchouli? jilli

11:37 pm

Erda

patchouli, I understand, was supposed to neutralize the smell of pot...

11:37 pm

Jacula

Oh, LIl. You must remember that!

11:37 pm

Frances

Absolutely nothing J.C.

11:37 pm

stidmama

I think people who smoke "substances" think patchouli covers it up...

11:37 pm

stidmama

or what Erda said!

11:37 pm

Pinikula

I HATE PATCHOULI OIL!!!

11:37 pm

Pinikula

(sorry for yelling)

11:37 pm

(but it really doesn't)

11:37 pm

jillibus

When we lived in Montreal and son and d-i-l in BC, she wore the stuff, and the mail we got from them stank of it, all the way across North America!

11:37 pm

lilliann

what does it smell like?

11:38 pm

Erda

same thing, stidmama!!

11:38 pm

Frances

Patchouli oil. Flower power and all that.

11:38 pm

Jacula

Well I love the smell of patchouli.

11:38 pm

Pinikula

(one of my co-workers bathes in it...and we can always smell her coming or know she's been there)

11:38 pm

renfield

my monte blanc femme individuelle reminds me of patchouli

11:38 pm

Erda

cough cough cough cough

11:38 pm

Frances

LOL jilli

11:38 pm

jillibus

lil, it's indescribably horrible

11:38 pm

lilliann

i'm not sure jac, doesn't come to mind, but my memory had gone east the last few years

11:38 pm

Pinikula

sorry jac...no offense intended

11:39 pm

stidmama

I actually don't mind patchouli... in moderation. but I don't like it so thick I can't breathe.

11:39 pm

jillibus

jac, in that case, I'm glad we are just virtual friends!

11:39 pm

Frances

Yes stid it can clog up the airways.

11:39 pm

Jacula

musty, mossy, orangey, amber smell, The plant is a Carribbean mint.

11:39 pm

lilliann

in fact, it's just gone, which is why it take me ages to finish these blooming grids, because when people say it's the goose, or the bird or the volcano(normally remember that one0 I CAN'T GET THEM

11:40 pm

Pinikula

I think that's why I now dislike it so much, stid...my only exposure now is way too much...

11:40 pm

lilliann

oops, didn't mean to shout

11:40 pm

renfield

and my hair fluffer stuff also ahs the same mystical patchouli scent

11:40 pm

Jacula

LOL, Lil.

11:41 pm

stidmama

which one are you trying to find now lilliann??? *ready to help*

11:41 pm

Jacula

Ren - my Carribbean body spray I put on today smells same.

11:41 pm

lilliann

12 more

11:41 pm

lilliann

i shoud shut up now and try and find them

11:41 pm

stidmama

go lilliann!!

11:42 pm

LadyNatts

I don't think I know patchouli smell...

11:42 pm

Pinikula

Don't get me wrong...it's just difficult to tollerate when the smell precedes the person wearing it (she does it to "mask her smoking")...suffice it to say, it doesn't work

11:42 pm

renfield

we are a powerful force mistress

11:42 pm

Jacula

I think patchouli clicks with your inner sexual being, or not.

11:43 pm

J. C.

I totally agree, Pinikula - can't stand when people wear too much perfume or cologne, so it knocks you over! :P

11:43 pm

Jacula

We are indeed, Ren. We can attract and repel at will. *grins*

11:43 pm

stidmama

"inner sexual being?" oh dear... I think I lost mine years ago!

11:43 pm

renfield

we had an hr manager who wore "red" and it reminded me of a scented used tampon

11:43 pm

stidmama

parenting, you know...

11:43 pm

Jacula

stid! Don't say that. You're much younger than me.

11:43 pm

J. C.

<-- Says nothing, for fear of incriminating self. :P

11:43 pm

jillibus

goose = nene, sea bird = erne, erns, tern, ternes, volcano = et** (it's here), Celebes buffalo = anoa, hairy-nosed dolphin = inia, Himalayan goat = tahr, 2-toed sloth = unau, unai, freshwater turtle = emyd(e)...

11:43 pm

Frances

LOL ren

11:44 pm

Jacula

Ren - oh yuck! Kinda fishy metallic smell?

11:44 pm

stidmama

wow jill! you remember them all!!!!!!

11:44 pm

LadyNatts

O

11:44 pm

Frances

Covered just about all of them there jilli.

11:45 pm

J. C.

Wow, Jilli - I'm very impressed! You must be a wicked Scrabble player?!

11:45 pm

renfield

11:45 pm

jillibus

11:45 pm

stidmama

"wicked" describes Jill beautifully, JC! rofl

11:45 pm

LadyNatts

I'm trying to ignore the conversation... but I've done got fireworks, and I have no choice, unless I leave...!

11:45 pm

J. C.

Congrats, LadyNatts! :)

11:45 pm

J. C.

Say . . . that rhymes!

11:45 pm

LadyNatts

thank you

11:46 pm

Frances

You're a poet....and you know it.

11:46 pm

J. C.

Or are you referring to her Scrabble-playing?

11:46 pm

J. C.

I am . . . indeed, ma'am! ;)

11:46 pm

jillibus

depends how you read wicked

11:46 pm

stidmama

*big stage wink* wicked...

11:46 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA . . .

11:47 pm

Jacula

Sorry about the convo, Lady but it must be true, if you grossed out on it.

11:47 pm

jillibus

I'm getting clobbered at Lexulous

11:47 pm

J. C.

Beatiful photo of you, stidmama - you look radiant! :)

11:47 pm

J. C.

Gorgeous smile . . .

11:47 pm

LadyNatts

I can't hear you, jac.. ;)

11:47 pm

Jacula

Sexual beings have a strong sense of smell. LOL. *winks at Ren*

11:48 pm

stidmama

thanks JC, I loved spending yesterday afternoon with pinikula!

11:48 pm

J. C.

Grossed out? On what, Jacula?

11:48 pm

renfield

*) mistress

11:48 pm

Jacula

Take your fingers out of your ears, Lady! I'm off for a bathroom visit. BRB.

11:48 pm

J. C.

Yes, I'm sure you did! :)

11:48 pm

J. C.

<-- is terribly confused.

11:49 pm

LadyNatts

don't worry about it, J.C.

11:49 pm

J. C.

That explains why I can't stand anyone wearing too much perfume, Jacula - referring to your 'sense of smell' comment! ;)

11:49 pm

stidmama

je suis tres confusee... but that's normal...

11:49 pm

J. C.

Oh I don't, LadyNatts - I'm perpetually confused, so if I worried about it, I'd be perpetually worried, too. And I can't be having that . . .

11:49 pm

jillibus

Rennie -- what happened to Mezzie? So glad he's ok now -- indeed something to be thankful for

11:49 pm

westford

hello again fireworks for me

11:50 pm

J. C.

11:50 pm

westford

thank you JC and Fran and jilli

11:50 pm

LadyNatts

I work with people who go on and on about various colognes, perfumes, etc. I rarely bother to use any scents. (I do have common sense, however)

11:50 pm

LadyNatts

yay west!

11:50 pm

lilliann

fireworks!! next time i should stop in and finish babble before i go out

11:50 pm

stidmama

YAY lilliann!!!!

11:51 pm

stidmama

YAY also west!!!

11:51 pm

Jacula

J.C. what you enjoy smelling depends on your pheromone database, so to speak. It all goes back to childhood.

11:51 pm

J. C.

Congrats, Lilliann!!! :)

11:51 pm

jillibus

I own some lovely scents but never wear them now -- too many allergic friends

11:51 pm

Jacula

Well done, Lil.

11:51 pm

J. C.

So I've heard, Jacula . . .

11:51 pm

lilliann

thanks all

11:51 pm

renfield

they thought he had spinal meningitis or west nile or lyme disease becasue of seizures and passing out - then his kidnry's tried to quit - then they found his body was producing ammonia and nitrogen

11:51 pm

J. C.

I enjoy using precious oils a lot - in the bath and for cleaning, that might explain a lot.

11:51 pm

Frances

If you're going to wear perfume it must be a good one. Cheap ones are so misnamed.

11:51 pm

LadyNatts

It's true jilli.. more and more people are sensitive to allergens

11:52 pm

westford

ty stid

11:52 pm

J. C.

Especially lemon and wintergreen . . .

11:52 pm

stidmama

oh geez, ren!

J. C.

And lavendar, sometimes . . .

11:52 pm

jillibus

J. C.

Hmmm, Jilli - do they make 'scratch & sniff' icons? :P

11:52 pm

flosey

oh my goodness, didn't realize I hadn't finished this!!!

11:52 pm

Jacula

I went out today and finished Babble when I got home, after wasting time watching 'I Am Legend' which rolled along nicely until the makers suddenly seemed to think, 'We'll finish it now!' Mind you, I did ony have about 19 words to find at that point.

11:52 pm

jillibus

*Perfumes

11:52 pm

lilliann

should i go to bed or stop up for flip??

11:53 pm

westford

11:53 pm

stidmama

I am going to stay for flip because I can sleep in a bit in the morning... *loving having a week off*

11:53 pm

LadyNatts

flip's not that far away, west

11:53 pm

J. C.

Stop up for the flip, Lilliann - if I can do it, so can you! ;)

11:53 pm

stidmama

11:53 pm

flosey

11:55 pm

J. C.

Not always, stidmama - I drink regular orange pekoe a lot as well. And sometimes, herbal teas . . .

11:55 pm

Jacula

Lavender is calming, Frances. But don't buy it from a £1 shop.

11:55 pm

J. C.

Should I put my childhood photo back?
