Kazzer99

just a quick hello - finished the grid - bit of a little stinker but most of the words are obvious
3:58 am
sprite

morning all, just starting, always am miffed when somebody shrunk my babble.
4:01 am
elder

Good morning Sprite and everyone. I was hoping for a somewhat larger grid.
4:01 am
sprite

me too! But will enjoy this one as long as it lasts.
4:02 am
sprite

how are you today, elder?
4:02 am
elder

is that you Sprite ?.
4:02 am
elder

Am ok back is sore but will take it easy today.
4:03 am
sprite

no that is my sister! Babble Blessing day... I am so grateful she is back in my life.
4:03 am
sprite

ah good, be gentle with yourself!
4:04 am
elder

nice picture. Back in your life ?. Happy times then :)
4:04 am
sprite

thanks :) Back after more than 10 years, yes. We are making up for lost times.
4:05 am
elder

I think I did too much yesterday planting up and some cleaning of my home. It is the vacuum that does it no matter how careful I am.
4:05 am
sprite

pen s
4:06 am
sprite

I apologise, seem to be making up for lost spaces as well
4:06 am
elder

Ten years is a long time. So pleased for you dear. Does she live in the USA.
4:06 am
elder

No worries Sprite I had that one :)
4:06 am
sprite

elder, vacuuming is the worst you can do to your back! You really need somebody to do it for you. There is no way to vacuum carefully enough, and believe me, I have tried!
4:07 am
sprite

no she lives in the netherlands, just as I. Only 25 minute's drive from here.
4:08 am
elder

Unless I get the government expenses I cannot pay some one and as I live on my own I have to do it occasionally.
4:08 am
zingylemon12

hi
4:09 am
elder

Sprite I thought you came over to Netherlands on your own with your Man. Even better she is closer at hand. :)
4:09 am
sprite

no friendly neighbour you can exchange tasks with? You folding her laundry on a day that she vacuums for you? Or a family member or friend who will do it for an apple pie you bake?
4:09 am
sprite

hi zingylemon
4:09 am
elder

Hello Zingy.
4:09 am
sprite

born and raised dutch, am I :)
4:10 am
zingylemon12

call me zingy
4:10 am
elder

My neighbours are elderly. I could ask friends and family but when they come over i like to meet with them and talk better for me than them doing the housework.
4:11 am
sprite

elder, only the vacuuming :)
I hope you can find a solution, it is a killer, vacuuming.
4:11 am
elder

Sprite, I must be losing it, I had the impression that you emigrated to the Netherlands.Silly fool ( me)
4:12 am
elder

I am still managing to work each day. So that has to be a good thing.
4:13 am
sprite

you may have me confused with somebody else, like MonkeyGames maybe? No problem at all, with so many babblers it is hard not to be confused now and then :)
4:14 am
sprite

wtg elder! It is, I am sure!
4:14 am
elder

I think it maybe Monkey.
4:14 am
elder

Blame medication I was on at the time . lol
4:15 am
sprite

hehehe painkillers can muddle up the best of brains.
4:15 am
sprite

zingy, having fun with the grid?
4:16 am
elder

I have an issue with you Sprite.... I don't think your country voted for us in the Eurovision last night . :)
4:16 am
sprite

didn't watch, but I apologise :)
4:17 am
elder

Apologies accepted . :)
4:18 am
sprite

4:19 am
rolin

4:19 am
elder

4:19 am
sprite

hi rolin, it is incredibly wet, isn't it :)
4:19 am
rolin

it sure is...but my garden is appreciating it
4:19 am
elder

Hello Rolin. yes it's a bit grey and blustery.
4:20 am
rolin

i hope it will clear this afternoon tho..we're off to the west end to see a show
4:20 am
sprite

things are better now, elder. Am trying to find my way back to some health now, taking it very very slow... good lessons in being patient ;)
4:21 am
elder

I think Dr god, should check out weather maps before he sorts out the word list and amend accordingly.
4:21 am
rolin

what an excellent idea elder...
4:21 am
sprite

the weathermen here fortold some 'light drizzles' for yesterday and today. So I am afraid we cannot count on them.
4:21 am
sprite

slighty tough challenge with a worldwide game though, elder, roflol
4:22 am
elder

I am pleased to hear that Sprite. :)
4:22 am
rolin

my partner says its one of the few careers ppl get paid for making guesses
4:22 am
sprite

good one
4:23 am
elder

Rolin he is so right, but to be fair they had said this weather was coming for days.
4:24 am
elder

I have 25 words and the brain appears to have given up.
4:24 am
rolin

its true,... its so diff here than in aus...you can see the weather coming reliably a week away... we had longrange weather forecasts that actually meant something..but here...its so changeable
4:26 am
sprite

oh yes, no comparison indeed. Weather can change unpredictably here within a few hours. Keeps life interesting, huh ;)
4:26 am
rolin

but i never know what to wear!!!...lol..
4:26 am
elder

'cause we live on a small island , the weather is easily changeable.We are influenced by so many weather fronts. I used to blame the Russian and Bush .:)
4:26 am
sprite

4:26 am
rolin

4:35 am

4:36 am
elder

4:44 am
rolin

oh how cool.. he didnt tell me.. so does he 'just' md...not play?
4:46 am
demi

at this stage just md. i can see him getting frustrated with the lead trumpeter though.. rich doesn't think very highly of him as a jazz player.. i think he said today something like he can't swing to save himself.
4:46 am
rolin

and they are on ppl's webpages
4:46 am
rolin

lol... thats my son...'it dont mean a thing if it aint got that swing'...

4:47 am
demi

4:47 am
sprite

hi Minver, ok here, how about you?
4:48 am
Wægmunding

bring laws together into written form
4:48 am
rolin

sprite

thanks Waeg *thinking*
4:49 am
demi

i went last night too.. and the cast was much stronger than at the matinee, but they still struggled..
4:49 am
Minveryork

I've been better. Allergies are kicking my arse.Woke up early becaue of coughing.I can't go back to sleep.
4:50 am

Thanks all and have fun.
4:51 am
rolin

*shaking head*..well the director needed to have her head read to even consider it... i did the show when in bool...and for adults who have been doing musicals for years it was challenging...but for kids..??.. anyway..tis done.. is he getting paid for the opus work?
4:51 am
Minveryork

Congratulations sprite on your fireworks! Good for U
4:51 am
rolin

4:51 am
Minveryork

Goodbye sprite! I will see you tomorrow in the chog!
4:52 am
demi

yes he is getting paid for the opus 21 gig.. i don't think he would have done it if he wasn't getting paid. he is tired of using his time efforts and talent for free stuff.
4:52 am
demi

the only free gig rich will do now is the rising sun on a tuesday.
4:53 am
rolin

good for him... and the rising sun is more about the quality of work he is exposed to...better than money really
4:53 am
demi

that is so true.. he enjoys the gig too and he has to be dying before he turns one down
4:54 am
rolin

have you been down to listen at the rising sun?
4:55 am
demi

not since we went when you were in oz.. tuesday nights are not a good night..
4:56 am
rolin

pity...well.. we will just have to go together next year...has rich showed you the stuff ive found about getting round the uk?
4:57 am
demi

no. all he has said is if we want to go here, mum said we would have to do this and then do that..
4:58 am
demi

he his not very forthcoming with info.. i generally have to cross examine him for info..
4:58 am
rolin

lol.. ok... at least hes passing it on... as i said to him.. i just thought you might be able to use the knowledge beforehand..to help decide if you want to/need to stay over...shall i copy to you then?
5:00 am
demi

maybe useful.. at least then we can have an informed discussion about stuff and i don't 1/2 hear about things. it may also help me work out where i might want to go.
5:01 am
rolin

exactly...ok..well ill still have the stuff i have sent in my out box so ill fwd that to you..and then any questions you have you can ask me....
5:01 am
rolin

but for now...i have 5 words left..but i feel in great need of elevenses...
5:02 am
demi

sounds good....
5:02 am
demi

i am going to go as well. think i will have nice hot shower and put on my pjs.. enjoy your sunday.

11:26 am
GreyWoulf

Thanks, FM -- makes things easier to bear when you no longer dread going into work
11:27 am
GreyWoulf

cherly -- it is always easier to gripe about problems, yours or other peoples, than it is to actually expend the energy to try to change things
11:27 am
Nef

Isn't THAT the truth! My DIL is always looking at life from the wrong side. To me; you are as happy as YOU want to be and I'd rather see a glass half full than half empty
11:27 am
GreyWoulf

Usually because part of the griping is coming from the fear of change that the problem indicates is needed
11:28 am
cherlyq63

well glad things are better
11:28 am
GreyWoulf

I usually don't even measure the glass, Nef -- as long as it has something in it, it is usually good for me
11:29 am

my glass is always half full but even so it is hard to stay positive.
11:29 am

11:31 am

good for you GW. I've had to take a 10% pay cut since I started this job last August. But you know what? I love the job and the clients I work with. We cando this, we just don't eat out or do things that cost $$

nef if more companys just asked employees to take pay cuts or less hours we would not have as many layoffs
11:32 am

No worry Nef I didn't talk about it.

Cherly, When I took the job, it was for half of what I used to earn, and only half-time hours. I knew we could live okay with that; this is just a bit tighter.
11:33 am

11:34 am
cherlyq63

companies need to think outside of box, and try their hardest to keep employees( i've been laid off)
11:34 am
GreyWoulf

back -- only 4 to find
11:34 am
cherlyq63

oh nef sorry to hear that, that is hard to do
11:35 am
GreyWoulf

and they are all four letter words!!

Why are those always the worst in these small grids?!
11:35 am
cherlyq63

weird words we dont think of usually
11:35 am

I must poof for a bit. GW lovely to see you and TO and cherly and TO TTFN.
11:35 am
cherlyq63

have a good day fmitch
11:36 am
Nef

cherly, I'm sorry to hear you are laid off! I knew I would have the lower pay; and it really doesn't matter that I'm earning less right now because we found we are still "okay"
11:36 am
GreyWoulf

So long, FMitch -- thanks for the heads up about jilli as well

GreyWoulf

take care, TO -- see you soon
11:39 am
cherlyq63

and hopefully we wil both be back to work soon
11:40 am
Nef

Dang! I know that I can probably count on one hand the number of clients I've seen who DO have jobs lately. It's pretty tough for the working poor (my main client base)
11:42 am
cherlyq63

this has been a good time to simplify our lifes and enjoy time just being together more
11:42 am
GreyWoulf

I have to admit that I have been lucky -- my district has had some layoffs, but I am fairly safe for now -- worst personal impact right now is that they will not be giving raises this year
11:42 am
cherlyq63

gives you a chance to find out what is important in life
11:43 am
cherlyq63

thats good greywoulf
11:44 am
Nef

What do you do, GW? And Cherly, you are so right! I'm lucky in that we have never been big spenders; but I did like to help my kids out back when I made more $$. Now they have to live within their limits too; and it's a growing experience for them too
11:44 am
GreyWoulf

Fireworks!!

YAY GW! WTG!

GreyWoulf

I am a warehouse shop supervisor for a company called Enersys -- we manufacture and maintain forklift batteries worldwide - though my warehouse just covers eastern PA, southern NJ and small bits of northern DE
11:48 am
Nef

at least it's something that people still need, recession or not
11:48 am
cherlyq63

I worked for a call center for an electric company that canceled american contract and went overseas for cheap labor
11:49 am
GreyWoulf

Yes, but with this tough times, the need for new product has still dropped off quite a bit -- if I didn't have a good supply of reconditioned equipment to sell, we would be in pretty bad shape
11:49 am
cherlyq63

or more technically down south of texas for cheap labor
11:51 am
Nef

DANG! So many call centers do that. As a customer, I've had some "service centers" that have call centers across the ocean and you can't understand them
11:51 am
GreyWoulf

And now that I have finished, I need to give the kids their turn on the cmp -- I will try to be back later tonight
{{**Hugs for all**}}
11:52 am
cherlyq63

have a good day greywoulf
11:52 am
Nef

I can imagine, GW. The part of maintaining those battereies sounded very good
11:52 am
cherlyq63

well turns out they were about to go bankrupt anyway, sold out
11:52 am
Nef

Bye GW, have fun with the kids!
11:53 am
Nef

so what are you looking for now, cherly?
11:54 am
Nef

Are there many choices of jobs down there?
11:54 am
cherlyq63

well anything customer service orientated, and going to go back to school to become a teacher
11:54 am
cherlyq63

not alot, too many people laid off right now
11:54 am
Nef

Wait. the electric company went bankrupt? That's really tough then, isn't it?
11:55 am
72 Temple Owl

ah then woulf - do you recondition the batteries i house?
11:55 am
Nef

I can imagine
11:56 am
Nef

To, they were forklift batteries. Do you have a forklift?
11:56 am
cherlyq63

yes it is, texas has alot of utilities companies due to deregulation and so they had competion and also hurricaine Ike hit
11:58 am
Nef

Wow, cherly. Up here in MN we don't have lots of utility companies competing with each other like that. If our electric company went bankrupt; we'd be in deep trouble
11:59 am
72 Temple Owl

sorry that was IN house
12:00 pm
Nef

LOL, TO! that's different! From what he said, they recondition themthere (or that's how I interpreted it)
12:02 pm
cherlyq63

deregulation was supposed to make our energy cheaper, instead we are highest in nation or at least one of the highest
12:03 pm
Nef

wow, wonder why that happened?
12:03 pm
72 Temple Owl

is woulf gone?
12:03 pm

BR, I'm doing the grid by using the stat boxes below it. My grid is all wonky today and I only *see*11 letters on the grid; it's mostly green for me today. Maybe that would make it more of a chalenge for you?

2:23 pm

although I did find Koda in the neighbors yard; apparently he finally made it through where they have loosened the boards...
2:23 pm

I have a co6, so I must be missing a co4?
2:26 pm
stidmama

that's good. Lucky has a "best friend" who happens to be the dog of the younger stidkid's best friend... they race around and around whenever they get together. Pretty important to stay out of the way of two shepherds trying to outpace each other!
2:26 pm

I always try "sneed," courtesy of an old client of mine who referred to people carrying an unopened umbrella as "sneeding it." It took me ages to figure out that he derived it from the John Steed (not Sneed) character in the Avengers TV show of the 60s.

My family came from Ireland in 1832....thru Canada. My grandfather said they were "lace curtain Irish". I don't think it was something to brag about from the way he said it.
4:32 pm
nelleon

oh well
4:33 pm
Soodlebum

Nell - I'd say that was a reference to the fact that they were pretty well off. Most Irish in the early 1800's didn't have windows - let alone lace curtains!!
4:33 pm

I have visited Ireland, once, soodle. Beautiful!
4:33 pm

lace curtain Irish was a term in Massachusetts for the Irish who had gotten some money and thought it allowed them to "pass" (there is no way to explain this without sounding terrible) The Kennedys were lace curtain Irish

Irish Confetti
Bricks tossed by a spalpeen [rascal or scamp] at an omadhaun [fool, idiot or simpleton] in the course of a donnybrook Irish version of a knock-down-drag-out brawl.


Shanty Irish
The English overlords taxed any improvement on Irish cottages and such a policy naturally destroyed ambition and led to a slackness in maintaining their homes.


Bog-Trotting Irish
Laborers or peasants in Ireland's bogs; or more likely derived from accounts of British soldiers pursuing rebellious Irishmen across bogs, where the fugitives attempted concealment but usually were discovered and bayoneted until "the bogs ran red with Irish blood." (According to Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins by William Morris and Mary Morris, New York, Hagerstown, San Francisco, London: (Harper & Row, Publishers), 1977.


Lace-curtain Irish
An attempt by the Famine Irish immigrants to achieve social status with a show of material things in a hostile British-oriented, American Protestant society.

uh.. you guys there are only 55 words... it isn't that bad
6:25 pm
Scrabbler

Hi Ruru! Yep, not many words, but that means tougher, weirder words.
6:26 pm
Scrabbler

How has your weekend been, Ru?
6:26 pm
Frances

Ruru it is when you've spent a hard weekend concentrating on cricket for the whole two days.
6:26 pm
rururocks

great... really nice
6:26 pm
rururocks

I played a lot of tennis scrabs
6:27 pm
Scrabbler

Good for you, Ru. Our bubble came down today so now we switch to outdoor tennis.
6:27 pm
rururocks

too hot though today. 100 F
6:27 pm
Scrabbler

Is de5 related to the de4 before it?
6:27 pm
rururocks

no
6:27 pm
rururocks

d + santa's helper
6:28 pm
Scrabbler

Whoa, Ru! We made it to 53, but very sunny.
6:28 pm
Scrabbler

Aha, TY, Ru.
6:28 pm
rururocks

I was dragging in the third set...
6:29 pm
Scrabbler

As usual, now that I go down the list I am finding obvious words.
6:29 pm
Scrabbler

I just got new strings after busting mine.
6:29 pm
rururocks

really...
6:30 pm
rururocks

wow.. you must hit the ball hard.
6:30 pm
Scrabbler

I use a lot of top spin, but I broke the strings on a return of serve.
6:30 pm
Scrabbler

I cream the ball! My friends get scared.
6:31 pm
rururocks

thought so...lol
6:32 pm
Scrabbler

I have been slamming tennis balls since I was 8. I started lessons in the summer of 1968.
6:33 pm
Scrabbler

It is a great sport, a lifelong sport. I played in high school and college--fun memories.
6:33 pm
rururocks

oh..I wish I played (started) when I was younger.
6:33 pm
rururocks

I started at 40...
6:34 pm
Scrabbler

When did you begin playing?
6:34 pm
rururocks


was my 40th birthday present.. ten lessons with the pro at the club...
6:34 pm
rururocks

I have been hooked ever since...
6:34 pm
Scrabbler

Watch good players, and practice against a wall. I have spent a lot of time doing drills against a wall.
6:35 pm
rururocks

I am a 3.5 player at best.
6:35 pm
Scrabbler

I am 4.0-4.5, although my friend and I beat a 5.0 college duo a few years ago.
6:36 pm
rururocks

omg.. I won't be playing you..lol
6:36 pm
Scrabbler

Just keep at it, Ru, and you will improve. You have to teach your muscles how to do each stroke.
6:37 pm
rururocks

I am so much better than a year ago. A woman (friend) and I beat two of the top men players in a tournament on Friday.
6:37 pm
rururocks

I delivered 9 aces. I was beside myself with giddiness
6:38 pm
rururocks

(almost ten)
6:38 pm
Scrabbler

Good for you! Drill against a wall by doing the same stroke over and over again until you don't have to think about how to do it.
6:38 pm
rururocks

hmm. it comes back too fast
6:39 pm
Scrabbler

Stand back further for groundstrokes, closer for volleys. I spent hours doing wall ball as a kid. It is so meditative too.
6:39 pm
rururocks

well... off to the club to work out and swim..
6:40 pm
rururocks

It is hot as anything today and the pool sounds good.
6:40 pm
rururocks

good luck scrabs.. need a clue before I go?
6:40 pm
Scrabbler

Enjoy, Ru! And fireworks for me!
6:40 pm
rururocks

hmm I will give that a try.. maybe I am too close to the wall
6:41 pm
rururocks

YAY Scrabs.. told ya it wasn't soooo bad..
6:41 pm
Scrabbler

It was not bad at all.
6:41 pm

6:46 pm
Scrabbler

I am looking for an area close to my sister who is in Bergen County, NJ.
6:46 pm

7:41 pm
J. C.

OK - Trif? I've sent you a message on Flickr . . .
7:42 pm
Trifioso

I don't know if I should say, but a former babbler did contact me via FB yesterday to say he has abandoned the whole thing, basically, due to the "stress" caused by the chog. i don't really take it that far, gawd knows. I have enough stress in real life. This is where I come to unwind...
7:42 pm
tragicstud

help with di5,14 please?
7:42 pm
jmcnrick

I come to chog because it almost always makes me laugh out loud and releives my stress
7:42 pm
rururocks

what stress in the chog.. this is just fun..
7:43 pm
jmcnrick

relieves
7:43 pm
BabbleRabble

di + a song of praise
7:43 pm
pam

I can't take chog that seriously, trif. Points to other issues, i'd say. And, I'll leave it at that...
7:43 pm
rururocks

I am never serious...so how would I know?
7:43 pm
pam

thanks, babbler
7:43 pm
J. C.

Hmmm . . . yes indeed, what 'stress'? People can make fools of themselves if they please, it's hardly stressful. I just don't pay it any mind . . .

Hi all. Just got here in time to see Jess and Pink having a cold shower together (to conserve water) and Jeanne seeing stars for the first time in a long time.
10:20 pm
Jacula

Has there been some kind of punch-up? LOL.
10:22 pm
torgone

Bit of a row. Seems to be sorted though ..
10:22 pm
Jacula

Incidentally, if we've got up to 'animals with 12 letters for the icon theme now', mine's okay 'cos it's Movingrabbit. Click on it to see.
10:22 pm
Jacula

Hi Torg.
10:23 pm
torgone

What up, Jacs?
10:24 pm
Jacula

Torg - if I told you, you wouldn't believe me! Instead, I'll tell you that the changeable weather has had us running between two large tasks - the garden and sorting out the attic.
10:25 pm
torgone

I believe that ..
10:25 pm
Jacula

Thougt you would. It's true. We've had lots of weather here in the past few days.
10:25 pm
torgone

Fortunately I don't have an attic .. But I have a garage that needs sorted ..
10:26 pm
torgone

Sorted = 90% of crap needs to be thrown out ..
10:26 pm
Jacula

I sorted my garage by turning it into two rooms instead, Torg. A utility room and a study. Thing is, I now have 2 rooms that need a good sort out.
10:27 pm
Jacula

I'm not sure it's 90% but it is most of the stuff.
10:28 pm
torgone

My garage is trying to be too many things .. Storage area, Landlord's storage area, music studio, mechanic's shop, laundry room ..
10:29 pm
Jacula

Basic rule - if you haven't used/worn/looked at it/used it or loved in the past 12 months you probably don't need to keep it - live things included. LOL
10:29 pm
Jacula

Torg - garages have a habit of doing that. I think it's a roomality disorder. Probably needing therapy.
10:30 pm
Jacula

Why are we humans such hoarders?
10:31 pm
torgone

I don't know .. I could jettison half a house full of stuff and live just fine ..
10:32 pm
Jacula

Me, too, Torg.
10:33 pm
torgone

We spend our lives adding all sorts of complications and ..STUFF ..
10:33 pm
Jacula

There again... why IS it that 2 weeks after you've either given or thrown something away, a thing you've had stored in your shed/garage/attic for years and years, you then need or find a use for it?
10:34 pm
Jacula

But you haven't got it anymore. LOL
10:35 pm
torgone

Once you let it go, you remember what it was for ..
10:36 pm
torgone

While you have it, you don't think about it because you have it ..
10:37 pm
Jacula

That's very true.
10:38 pm
Jacula

I wonder if that applies to people, too??
10:38 pm
torgone

We're more focused on the HAVEing and not so much on the NEEDing ..
10:38 pm
torgone

It could be ..
10:40 pm
Jacula

Could, yes. But mostly it's about that not quite triangular piece of wood you just chucked out. Oh, now I remember! It was the perfect size and shape to fix the rotten corner on the shed.
10:42 pm
Jacula

And why did I thing this piece of tangerine nylon material was useful? Oh yes! It was for the fairy costume in the school play. But your kid's are grown up now. I know that, but last time I had a sort out and left it there, I thought it might come in useful for same thing when the grandchildren come along.
10:42 pm
Jacula

*Sigh* Far too much junk in my house!
10:44 pm
torgone

But a person is something that fits the rotten corner of the shed, and the funky burner on the stove, and the lumpy half of the mattress, and the picture that won't hang strait, and the B string that won't stay in tune, and the shoes that pinch the smallest toe ..
10:44 pm
Jacula

I will be really glad once we've cleared it all out. I'm sure my brain will feel younger and clearer. I've no idea at what age I became a hoarder, but it's a habit I hope to grow out of.
10:45 pm
Jacula

Torg - that's really poetic.Aw.
10:47 pm
Jacula

Actually, I think I've been a hoarder most of my life; legacy of being born 12 years after WW2 and parents and grandparents (WW! and 2) who had to make tdo and mend etc. The original greenies.
10:49 pm
Jacula

II've recycled stuff all my life and was delighted when it 'came into fashion' recently, until I realised that many of the councils who claim to recycle just dump the stuff abroad.
10:52 pm
Jellen

Hello, all!
10:52 pm
Jacula

But I still carry on with m own brand of recycling; lots of plastic and polystyrene stuff is reusable in the garden and greenhouse for propagating plants and for drainage and other purposes.
10:52 pm
Jacula

Hi Jellen.
10:53 pm
Jellen

How are you, Jac?
10:53 pm
Jacula

I'm okayish thanks, Jellen. And you?
10:53 pm
Jellen

My mom was big into reuse, too...we used to save magazines, coffee cans, popsicle sticks and on and on...
10:54 pm
Jacula

Almost every consumer atricle ha another use. Jellen.
10:54 pm
Jellen

I'm doing pretty well, thanks...been busy playing poker and going to auctions...
10:55 pm
Jacula

I've never played poker, never been to an auction either, come to think of it.
10:55 pm
Jacula

What have you been going to auctions to get?
10:55 pm
Jellen

I've become quite addicted to both...
10:56 pm
torgone

Recycling tech has made great strides in last few years .. (I'm in the recycling business) a lot of stuff that was going overseas in the past is getting used locally ..
10:56 pm
Jellen

Tim and I have booths at two flea markets...we mostly find items for resale, especially collectible glassware...
10:56 pm
Jacula

Torg - you're in the recycling business? Good to know. I can ask you questions re that when I need to.
10:58 pm
torgone

I work for a company that builds recycling machinery .. Our parent company has a recycling facility ..
10:58 pm
Jacula

We went to our local dump/recycling centre today and the note by the gate stated they've recycled 75% of all waste in the past month. However that still means 25% wasn't recyclable.
10:59 pm
Jacula

Jellen - so you go to the auctions to find the glassware?
10:59 pm
torgone

Our parent company took a huge hit recently .. We had a shipload of material ready to go to China, and they said "Ummm nope, not interested"
11:00 pm
torgone

75% is good .. Alot of stuff is not recyclable ..
11:00 pm
Jellen

Glassware and other interesting tidbits...
11:01 pm
Jacula

Torg - I heard about that. The Recession really IS worldwide, and any rumours that you've heard about it 'being over in 6 months' are rubbish. It will take at least 5 years the the repercussions all around the world to die down.
11:02 pm
torgone

True Jacs .. Fortunately we're still working ..
11:02 pm
Jellen

Today we bought glassware, a Buddah figurine, and, quite accidently, a naughty ladies' item...
11:02 pm
Jacula

Torg - thing is, most stuff considered not recyclable, could probably be left in a pile labelled 'For Inventors Only' and it'd all disappear.
11:03 pm
Jacula

A glasss phallus, Jellen?
11:03 pm
Jacula

It might be fun to know who buys that.
11:03 pm
Jellen

Rubber, actually. :-)
11:04 pm
torgone

There is a way to use everything we throw away .. The challenge is making all of it economically viable ..
11:04 pm
Jacula

How did you accidentally buy a rubber thing in with glassware? A box of items unseen, I guess?
11:05 pm
Jacula

Torg - and there's the rub - 'economically viable'.
11:05 pm
Jellen

Yes, it was a mixed box of things...it was in the original box...
11:05 pm
torgone

Disinfected, that could be reused as is ..
11:06 pm
Jacula

Torg - I hope you're not talking rubber good now? LOL
11:06 pm
Jacula

GoodS, I meant.
11:07 pm
torgone

The economy is going through a readjustment where lots of new things will become profitable ,,
11:07 pm
Jacula

I, for one, don't fancy reusing laundered condoms unless they're made into something else that won't be gloves or something. LOL
11:08 pm
Jellen

I suppose, Torg, but I think of it more as a novelty...it has the figure of a woman in wedding dress on one side, and the anatomical feature on the other...
11:08 pm
Jacula

Let's make 'em into verrucca socks instead, LOL
11:10 pm
Jellen

Like your in-motion icon, Jac...
11:10 pm
Jacula

Jellen - no one wants a 2nd hand vibrator or dildo. It would have to be melted down and made into something else.
11:11 pm
Jacula

Or something new - even if same again. LOL.
11:11 pm
torgone

Rubber and plastics are the biggest challenges in recycling .. glass and steel and aluminum are easy ..
11:11 pm
Jellen

lol, very true, Jac...
11:11 pm
Jacula

Thanks re the icon, Jellen. It reminds me of our rabbit Dandelion. (RIP)
11:12 pm
Jellen

I don't understand why our local recycling center doesn't take glass, very frustrating...
11:12 pm
Pinikula

hi all...back
11:12 pm
Jacula

There are so many uses for rubber and plastics. I'm surprised that they are a challenge, torg.
11:12 pm
Jellen

Hi, Pini!
11:13 pm
Pinikula

(and foot is on ice as Koda licks it probably because the cold feels good on his tongue)
11:13 pm
Jacula

Jellen - doesn't take glass? That's odd.
11:13 pm
Jacula

Hi Pink.
11:13 pm
Pinikula

(I'm waiting to see if his tongue sticks to it * evil grin * knowing it won't happen tho)
11:14 pm
Jacula

Speaking of icy feet, I'm going apply mine to Other Half's backside very soon, since he isn't heeding his alarm clock.
11:14 pm
torgone

Glass is nearly worthless unless transportation is cheap .. Rubber and plastic are hard to recycle because they are changed chemically and it's herd to reuse them ..
11:15 pm
Pinikula

that ought to cause a reaction, jac!
11:15 pm
torgone

Enough of this dry chat .. Good night all ..
11:15 pm
Pinikula

ROFL
11:15 pm
Jellen

I would imagine that volume plays a role in recycling glass, too...
11:16 pm
Jellen

G'night, torgone....sleep well...
11:16 pm

Men respond to most stuff that arrives at their back side. The caressing hand, the comfy cushion, the COLD FEET!

Dry because I made it that way ..
11:17 pm
Pinikula

not at all, tor...but sleep well!
11:17 pm
Jellen

Not at all, tor...quite interesting!
11:18 pm
Jacula

I'll add a dash of virgin olive oil to our next chat, Torg. LOL. Sleep well.x
11:18 pm
Pinikula

* snap * jellen!
11:18 pm
Jacula

I, for one, was very interested to know more about what happens to the stuff we recycle.
11:20 pm
Jacula

And now, since there is no sign of life from the othet side of the bed, I am going to log off and apply the icy blocks that are my feet to the warm male buttocks beside me.
11:20 pm
Jellen

Think I'll pop back out again...lovely to see you all again...
11:20 pm
Pinikula

have fun, jac
11:20 pm
Pinikula

take care, jellen

If I get my shins back kicked I have only myself to blame. Happy Babbling all! See you next grid.

Has everyone seen the fireworks display?
11:51 pm
Pinikula

I think so...haven't heard otherwise for awhile now...
11:54 pm
Pinikula

how long should someone keep ice on an injury?
11:55 pm
cybernan

no longer than 5 minutes at a time -- could freeze your skin otherwise
11:56 pm
cybernan

What kind of injury?
11:56 pm
Pinikula

well, I have a washcloth between my foot and the ice pack
11:56 pm
BabbleRabble

three weeks minimum, Pini
11:56 pm
cybernan

that doesn't matter
11:56 pm
Pinikula

BR!!!
11:56 pm
cybernan

Did you sprain something? pull a muscle?
11:56 pm
Pinikula

OK...will take it off for a bit (as I watch Koda try to catch a fly!)
11:57 pm
Pinikula

Yeah, took a little tumble today - "sprained" the top outside of my right foot
11:58 pm
BabbleRabble

do you have a cane, crutches, wheel chair, scooter, skate board?
11:58 pm
Pinikula

none of the above
11:58 pm
cybernan

If you are trying to reduce the inflamation you should alternate hot and cold (not too hot, because the cold wil desensitize your internal temp. guauge)
11:58 pm
Pinikula

er...below
11:59 pm
cybernan

Apply 5 minutes of each every half hour until the swelling goes down (alternating hot and cold gets the blood flowing to the area)
11:59 pm
Pinikula

little to no swelling...mostly a good bruising
11:59 pm
Pinikula

BR thinks I should go dancing to get the circulation going!
12:00 am
cybernan

Same thing Pini -- you want a fresh blood supply carting away the bad stuff.
