1:56 am

1:56 am

they never used to carry guns at all in the UK

jilli my friend's husband guarded the royals so he had a gun
1:57 am
Rushie
I don't see need for guns at all
1:57 am
jillibus
Oh well, that's different, west!
1:57 am
Rushie
Unless you need them to survive i.e. hunting, or it's an aspect of your career, there's no reason.
1:58 am
Rushie
Guns on one side of the line will always promote more on the other side, it's a vicious cycle.
1:58 am
Rushie
Oh, that's just me being a hothead though
1:59 am
westford
rushie I hope you know I was just kidding

2:23 am
Rushie
By the way jill, couple days ago I questioned whether you were really 82
2:23 am
Rushie
I meant 28 of course, how could anyone think ladies get old?
2:24 am
jillibus
yes, rushie, and I am
2:24 am
jillibus
very good, rushie :D
2:24 am
westford
gj jilli
2:24 am
Rushie
I'm learning!
2:26 am
jillibus
and rushie, are you keeping your age a secret?
2:26 am
Rushie
14 actually
2:27 am
Rushie
I try not to act my age, it annoys people
2:27 am
jillibus
you're very wise!
2:27 am
Rushie
Yes, every time I was told to act my age, I was.
2:27 am
Rushie
Fairly redundant thing to ask a person
2:28 am
jillibus
sometimes it's hard to know how an age acts :)
2:28 am
Rushie
Yes, so true.
2:29 am
jillibus
I mean, nobody's told me to agt my age recently :)
2:30 am
Rushie
I wonder why
2:30 am
westford
jilli you have the right attitude
2:31 am
Rushie
I guess 8... 28... is a hard age to act
2:31 am
jillibus
right :)
2:32 am
Rushie
Must be one without a script, free of responsibility
2:32 am
jillibus
free of preconcenptions anyway
2:32 am
jillibus
but full of typos
2:33 am
BabbleRabble
no one is ever free of preconceptions
2:33 am
jillibus
nor responsibilities
2:35 am
jillibus
yikes! 30 sa words!
2:41 am
jillibus
actually 61 S words altogether
2:42 am
Rushie
Well, I can tell this grid I won't finish
2:42 am
Rushie
I'm a fairly casual Babbler.
2:43 am
BabbleRabble
I never wear a tux while babbling
2:44 am
jillibus
I probably won't either -- weather's too nice for sitting by the computer and I wanna go to the beach tomorrow for a swim
2:45 am
Rushie
I like hanging around the house and going for bike rides
2:46 am
westford
it's raining here again
2:46 am
jillibus
Do you ski in the winter, rushie?
2:46 am
westford
rushie you must have a big house
2:47 am
Rushie
I don't go skiing, not in good enough shape for that stuff
2:48 am
Rushie
I have strong legs from biking, but they aren't the best
2:49 am
Rushie
Well, I'm gonna head off for the night
2:50 am
jillibus
happy dreams, rushie :)
2:50 am
Rushie
Almost 1 AM, I'll stay on the computer but shut down Babble
2:50 am
westford
sleep well rush
2:50 am
Rushie
Grid's harsh and I can't juggle that many tabs and this much intelligence.
2:50 am
Rushie
Then I'll head to bed in like 5 minutes as I slowly shut everything down
2:50 am
jillibus
for a big grid I'm finding this rather unkind
2:51 am
westford
me too jilli still don't have all the f's
2:51 am
westford
are there any big ones?
2:51 am
jillibus

I think I came on about 9 after

2:55 am
westford
I can't imagine this without a list

Did you ever read Paul Gallico's "The Abandoned"?
2:58 am

Good morning FM and everyone. Just got time to say hello, I need to get the day started. Such thunder and lightning and hailstones last night!
3:39 am
Atalante
to make up for you being so smug about the sunshine last week!
3:39 am
FMitch
Morning Haz, your forecast didn't look to great for today either!
Hi Ata!
3:40 am
Haz1558
I know! But it's sunny again at the minute so smugness prevails for another little while.
3:40 am
FMitch
It is lovely here this morning, might do a bit of fossoking at the boot fair :)
3:40 am
Haz1558
The grass was beginning to look a little brown round the edges so we needed a little rain.
3:41 am
Atalante
ooooo fun
3:41 am
Haz1558
You can't beat a good fossick, can you?
3:41 am
FMitch
LOL
(and only 20 words left to find)!
3:41 am
Haz1558
I've just checked. Enable does accept fossick. Let us pray for the day it appears in the grid and we three can be smug for knowing it.
3:42 am
FMitch
Oh that would be so funny
3:42 am
Atalante
imagine clueing it
3:42 am
FMitch
Whats on the menu today Haz?
3:42 am
Haz1558
fo plus a stuttering ill person?
3:43 am
Atalante
yeah, lynn would get that first time
3:43 am
Haz1558
I'm being easy on myself - minted melon, boeuf bourgignon with champ, vegetables and chocolate mousse with oranges soaked in orange, chocolate and cinammon flavoured balsamic vinegar.
3:44 am
Haz1558
Or, most of Bob the choreographer and a word of disgust?
3:45 am
FMitch
Right I am heading off into the wide blue yonder, catch up with you guys later, enjoy the day!!
3:45 am
Haz1558
It sounds more complicated than it is, FM! But I've done NOTHING yet, so I'd better get into the kitchen and get started.
3:45 am
Atalante
dont get that, another one
3:46 am
Haz1558
fo plus double portion of snakes, last three quarters of Mr Jagger.
3:46 am
Atalante
oh haz, you're so inventive :D
3:46 am
Haz1558
(You do realise that people trawling for clues later will be wondering why I'm cluing a non-existent word?
3:46 am
Atalante
won't make any difference though
3:46 am
Haz1558
Bye FM! Fossick with fervour!
3:47 am
Haz1558
I know, Ata. I'm wasted on some, aren't I?
3:47 am
Atalante
utterly!
3:48 am
Haz1558
OKay, to the kitchen! (FM exits stage right to fossick, Haz exits stage left to cook, Ata is left, alone but smug)
3:48 am

Hi Ata, here for about 4 more min. what a lovely long grid and I have to go to work. :(

4:09 am

4:11 am
redturtlehead
some good words in here.
4:12 am
Atalante
there are. nice words. though I'll never understand why hitman isn't allowed
4:12 am
Atalante
oh red - the glue that's used now instead of stitches sometimes - does it just dissolve away inside the wound after a few days?
4:13 am
redturtlehead
Itdoes just go away, no pick at it etc, its like an artificial scab and yes, it just "goes away" leaving you hopefully healed.
4:14 am
Atalante
that's just so clever
4:15 am
redturtlehead
OKmust go get towork, ata, I hope the elbow is healing up and enjoy the grid,I only have 95sofar!!!

10:23 am

10:26 am
tygerbryght
dic.com says dark gray volcanic rock
10:27 am
tygerbryght
an8: an + "no ifs, an*s or buts" + vowel + a particular location
10:27 am
tygerbryght

10:37 am
rururocks
oh..lol... finally
10:37 am
jesdraggon
and may i just say that you are amazing and great and beautiful and terrific and ....
10:38 am
BabbleRabble
in 7 -- as an alternative
10:38 am
rururocks
thank you.. that's nice
10:38 am
rururocks
(not feeling so beautiful this morning however)
10:38 am
jesdraggon
but it doesn't have your whole address, so i can't sent you a receipt for your taxes?
10:39 am
grant
thanks, BR
10:39 am
rururocks
no its okay.. I hope it helps in some small way
10:39 am
jesdraggon
it'll definitely help, but i wouldn't call it small!
10:43 am
rururocks
I know you will do really good things with it..you are a hero
10:46 am
jesdraggon
hardly heroic, just try to do a few local things...
10:46 am
Atalante
don't put yourself down, jes!!!
10:47 am
rururocks
It is the people who do little things to help like you who are the real heros in this country.
10:47 am
jesdraggon
*blush*
10:48 am
tragicstud
alright...i don't tend to be "that person" with the cat issue that I need help with...but....
10:49 am
tragicstud
i'm fostering a litter...one of them has long hair...
10:49 am
tragicstud
lets just say that the mixture of not mom's food and his long hair...they're making for a situation...
10:50 am
jesdraggon
shave from about an inch out the tail and down the backs of both legs. it'll grow back, and makes clean up TONS easier.
10:50 am
tragicstud
i just finished up with what can only be described as a surgical-like procedure... we're both traumatized, and i don't want to have to have this happen again. is there something i can do?
10:50 am
tragicstud
any ol razor?
10:50 am
jesdraggon
and if mom's not grooming him, and he's young enough not to groom himself, you can use diaper rash ointment on him to reduce any scalding
10:50 am
tragicstud
oh it was so bad
10:51 am
tragicstud
mom's not around
10:51 am
tragicstud
i got the babies, not the mama
10:51 am
jesdraggon
i'd use electric clippers--pretty easy to cut him with a razor
10:51 am
tragicstud
she wanted nothing to do with me
10:51 am
tragicstud
that's what i meant...
10:51 am
jesdraggon
beard trimmers work if you've got those around
10:51 am
tragicstud
i'll figure something out.
10:52 am
jesdraggon
or even just some short scissors and carefully trim everything short
10:52 am
tragicstud
lordy that was a terrible moment in our lives just not
10:52 am
jesdraggon
what're you feeding them?
10:52 am
tragicstud
kmr and canin
10:52 am
Atalante
poor little kit!
10:52 am
tragicstud
replacement milk step 2, and the training dry food
10:53 am
tragicstud
and some wet with rice in it
10:53 am
jesdraggon
have you taken a fecal in to check for parasites? coccidia makes for some pretty impressive diarrhea.
10:53 am
rururocks
see what I mean.. you are a wealth of info..
10:53 am
tragicstud
not yet, i'm picking up wormer next week...
10:54 am
rururocks
may need flagyl
10:54 am
tragicstud
and it's got the stuff for that in it too
10:54 am
tragicstud
i don't want to take them all until they're big enough for shots cause i don't have the money
10:54 am
jesdraggon
how much of it is he eating? right after parasites, over-eating is the top rule out for kittens and pups with diarrhea... they eat so much it just pushes everything through before they're done with it.
10:55 am
tragicstud
if i'm taking them all in and getting everything done i can get it at foster rates
10:55 am
jesdraggon
oh, most clinics would just run a fecal if you bring it in, i think... call and see? just takes a little dab in a plastic baggie.
10:55 am
tragicstud
hard to say, there are 5 of them
10:55 am
tragicstud
the two i caught last are the ones with the issues
10:55 am
tragicstud
and they're only present when the non-milk food is present
10:56 am
tragicstud
days that they just have the kmr no one has runny poo
10:56 am
jesdraggon
might be over eating then, or not digesting it right. you could try adding some probiotic to the food.
10:57 am
jesdraggon
if the vet clinic doesn't sell it, most feed stores will have a paste called Probios in the horse section. you can use that in small animals too; it's pretty mild tasting and they mostly seem to like it.
10:57 am
tragicstud
i gave a tube of that to him too... it came in the kit :)
10:58 am
tragicstud
i wouldn't have known anything to do if it hadn't come in the starter kitten kit
10:58 am
tragicstud
ok. snipping the hair once he dries
10:58 am
tragicstud
thank you
10:59 am
tragicstud
i wouldn't have thought of it
10:59 am
jesdraggon
might back off of the solid food for a week or so, and then try again. they may just not be ready to digest it yet
11:01 am
rururocks
en 6 anyone?
11:02 am
jesdraggon
a feeling of dislike and rivalry
11:02 am
Atalante
dachsie / heeler mix? that must have required some effort from the parents!
11:02 am
jesdraggon
i'm guessing the dach was the boy ;)
11:03 am
Atalante
I hope so!!!!
11:03 am
jesdraggon
or a standard dach, not a mini
11:03 am
Atalante
that's really quite impressive :)
11:03 am
rururocks
that would be a really creative heeler then
11:04 am
jesdraggon
and up until this morning, i was doubting it anyway; they've nver done anything heeler-like. but i sent them to a potential home for the weekend, and turns out they're chasing the horses there :(
11:04 am
jesdraggon
i've heard of chihuahua/rotweiller mixes...
11:04 am
Atalante
sounds about right!
11:04 am
jesdraggon
apparently the chi stood on a barrel.
11:04 am
pabtrek
oops, hi everyone, I'm back
11:04 am
Atalante
chi / rottie? omg. wow.
11:05 am
jesdraggon
wb, pab :)
11:05 am
rururocks
In that case the bite would be bigger than the bark
11:05 am
jesdraggon
yeah... the rot's owner was NOT pleased, but really, if you can't keep your intact dog confined, what do you expect?
11:05 am
Atalante
I saw the most gorgeous black lab / rottie cross the other day. he was just like a normal slim black lab, but with rottie markings. just gorgeous
11:06 am
Atalante
people shouldn't be allowed to keep intact dogs unless they have a reason for doing so
11:06 am
rururocks
not getting the en 6 yet..
11:06 am
rururocks
I completely agree ata..well said
11:06 am
jesdraggon
apparently they intended to breed her. i dunno how quality she was...wasn't one of my clients... but decided to spay her so as not to have to deal with chi/rot pups.
11:07 am
Atalante
go up and left, ruru
11:07 am
jesdraggon
the en5 of my en5 is my friend... then stick another consonant in there towards the beginning to make it 6 letters.
11:08 am
jesdraggon
(you can't get the en5 in this grid, unfortunately)

1:50 pm
Uniquity
Ah. Jasmin, it's easy. In theory. Obviously there is a grid full of letters just waiting to be combined into meaningful words. Much like in boggle, you need to try and root out the words from their hiding places. To make a word, each letter needs to touch the one preceding it, and the one after it. If you wanted to find 'chair', a c would need to touch an H, and so on. Sometimes there are clues, ie - there is an am5,12. "Am" means that the first two letters are a and m, the 5 refers to the length of the word (five letters) and twelve means the number of points the word is worth. There are far more in depth guides on Angelsongs babble page (which you can find below the grid) and in the help section, which is linked above the chatterbox.
1:50 pm
sprite
it is not wrong to be jealous, meaning you'd love to go yourself. It is only 'wrong' if you mean you grudge them their good luck, imo.
1:50 pm
Kazzer99
krista - i am on my second lot - fortunately me and my friend love em so we divvy them up and we usually have about 6-12 everytime i go over the allotment

It's OK HAz, it's the new low rise soapbox, suitable for those ith vertigo :)

Atalante
The word derives from the Hindi baṅglā (or perhaps the Gujarati variant baṅglo), meaning "Bengali", used elliptically for a "house in the Bengal style".
2:13 pm
Haz1558
Is it the sort of low rise soapbox that Sarkozy had to use at the Normandy ceremonial?

hey BabbleRabble, good to see you. The little lion went to canoe club today, where they had their annual Open Day. Very busy, lots of people, kids and dogs. He loved it! And behaved very good. Played and explored like mad, then went to his bench and slept for about an hour like a log!

2:36 pm
sprite
oh! Haz, that is a great idea! Thank you, they will.
2:36 pm
Haz1558
Or there's a series of books about 'Le petit Nicolas' - written from a small boy's point of view about the world, they're very funny.

The Asterix stories were great.

40 miles round the coast of Guernsey last Saturday in one day

2:51 pm

Liz...and how is yr husband after his adventure. Ata directed me to their site when he was 'stuck' but I missed the whole return. All recovered?
2:52 pm
FMitch
did you sign up Ata for Peru?
2:52 pm
mkg
oh dear i had phone calls.did anyone clue me the ad 6? i missed it.
2:53 pm
Lizsark
The return was a major adventure Lynxx but he got home eventually thank you :) He has done something weird to his foot - plantar fasciitis - or something. But he's being treated by a specialist now.
2:53 pm
Lizsark
FM , Ata couldn't make it to Peru as it clashed with her trip to America :(
2:54 pm
Kazzer99
plantar fasciitis is unpleasant - i had it a while back and it can take a long time to heal up
2:55 pm
Lizsark
I had never heard of it before Kazz. He's seen the specialist and is being treated by a physio before they decide whether to operate or not. Did you have an op on your foot?
2:56 pm
Kazzer99
no because it settled down but sometimes it can be caused (or cause heels spikes - little bits of extra bone that make it almost impossible to stand up for very long. They can also treat it with steriod injections in the tendon that is the problem
2:57 pm
Lizsark
He has extra bone in his left foot - the pain seems worst first thing in the morning
2:58 pm
Haz1558
There was somebody on here (chat log) who talked about plantar thingy. Now who was it?
2:59 pm
Kazzer99
Thats about right - my dad had the spurs - its main cause is standing up for long periods of time - my dads spent most of his working live stood up in one please for 24-48 hours at a time
2:59 pm
Lizsark
What do the steroid jabs do for it then?
2:59 pm
Haz1558
ad6 - ad plus an anagram of the Sicilian volcano.
2:59 pm
lynxxx
I've had heel spurs, not sure about plantar etc, responded well to anti-inflammatories. Extremely painful on first standing
2:59 pm
Lizsark
sounds very similar then Lynxx
3:00 pm
Kazzer99
kill the pain if its only the tendon - hurts like bu**ery for 3 days then the pain goes. My dad had the op but before that the occupational therapist gave him inserts for his shoes with holes for where the spurs were to take the pressure off them when he was walking
3:01 pm
lynxxx
Heel spurs are very very common. I believe there are lots of remedies other than ops
3:02 pm
Lizsark
Simon has been given inserts too. He's got loads of exercises from the physio as well. Trouble is he has already taken on another Arctic expedition which starts in February next year so he needs to get it sorted.
3:03 pm
Lizsark
oh he's quite mad Lynxx - that one will be his 5th arctic exped
3:06 pm

And where you wonder why you couldn't spot the patently obvious.
3:07 pm
Lizsark
yes Haz like silly simple plurals! I always miss them
3:08 pm
Haz1558
I force myself to go through my word list and try to get all the obvious missing ones and I still don't see them all.
3:08 pm
Lizsark
I have given up using the list these days. I prefer the struggle lol
3:09 pm

Looking for thermometer to see whether Liz is feverish.
3:09 pm

What can I say? I like to make life hard!!! LOL

You didn't refuse pain relief giving birth, did you?
3:10 pm
Haz1558
And back, just husband checking in.
3:11 pm
Lizsark
I wasn't able to have pain relief giving birth. Meg was born on Sark. The doctor doesn't keep baby - related stuff here as all babies are born in Guernsey.......usually!!!
3:11 pm
Haz1558
Did you hear the loud gulp?
3:11 pm
Lizsark
And you thought yu were joking!!!
3:12 pm
Haz1558
I know. The price of being born on Sark!
3:12 pm
Lizsark
Wasn't my fault. Force 11 winds at the time. Paramedics said it was too dangerous to get me on the ambulance boat!!
3:12 pm
Haz1558
Did they quote Health and Safety?
3:13 pm
Lizsark
the pain of childbirth was infinitely preferable to going on a tiny boat in open seas in a wind that was only just shirt of being classified as a hurricane!
3:13 pm
Haz1558
It sounds like the script for an episode of 999. Michael Buerk and dramatic music...
3:13 pm
Lizsark
LOL Haz. Have you ever heard of a group of singer/actresses called Fascinating Aida? They do a hilarious skit on health and safety
3:14 pm
Haz1558
Yes, I remember Fascinating Aida - one of them appears on Grumpy old women.
3:14 pm
Lizsark
You should hear the full story Haz ('cept it would take too long on here!) Michael Buerk would have had a blue fit!
3:14 pm
Haz1558
Dilly Barlow or something. Dilly somebody - blonde and very English.
3:15 pm
Haz1558
We were always convinced after watching an episode of 999 that it was just too dangerous to do ANYTHING.
3:15 pm
Lizsark
Went to see them play live last week Haz. Yes, Dillie Keane
3:15 pm
Haz1558
Dillie Keane - that's the one.
3:15 pm
Lizsark
You could get RSI from Babble you know Haz!!!!
3:16 pm
Haz1558
Don't I know it! Sometimes my hands are sore from all the typing and scrolling.
3:16 pm
Lizsark
~If you ever get the chance to see them live they are utterly hilarious Haz (although they can be borderline crude a bit!)
3:17 pm
Haz1558
I don't know whether they've ever made it across here. I could put my earplugs in for the naughty bits.
3:17 pm
Lizsark
I don't know where they've been but they do worldwide tours. Even Sark!
3:18 pm
Kazzer99
hooray - fireworks - off to have a nice long soak in the bath
3:19 pm
Haz1558
I'm sure it was the highlight of their tour - probably much nicer for them than some other places.
3:19 pm
Haz1558
Congratulations Kazzer!

I actually planted some milkweed seeds for the Monarch butterflies.....haven't seen one butterfly.
4:17 pm
Merk
It's probably most Western Hemisphere folks here now. I'm usually up way early and meeting lots of European and Asian friends.
4:17 pm
mkg
an 5 12 first eone please?
4:17 pm
Anniebrook
I have loads of impatiens on my terrace..very pretty flower...all I can manage but it is very cheeerful to see and greet me in the AM
4:17 pm
Uneaixoise
oohhh, beautiful, annie!
4:18 pm
JBV
yes, they are very hardy, don't need much care and they bloom like crazy
4:18 pm
Anniebrook
And they last until late September
4:18 pm
Merk
Impatiens prefer shade, right?
4:18 pm
JBV
I have mine in full sun and they're doing great, merk
4:18 pm
JBV
New Guinea impatiens are better in shade
4:18 pm
Uneaixoise
well, depends . . . in the South full sun mid-summer burns 'em up
4:18 pm
Anniebrook
My impatiens are in full sun too and they do very well
4:19 pm
JBV
they have dark green leaves and bigger flowers
4:19 pm
Uneaixoise
oh, jbv I was gonna say just the opposite LOL
4:20 pm
JBV
Oh? i got advice from a lady in the garden center - I don't know - never had New Guinea impatiens before
4:20 pm
Anniebrook
I have a question for you all, when is the best time to water my impatiens...(shows you how much I know)
4:20 pm
Merk
If I can still find some, is it too late to plant them. I need something hardy for when I'm gone for five weeks.
4:20 pm
Uneaixoise
any time, annie -- probably best not to water at high noon
4:20 pm
JBV
I water in the early a.m. or evening
4:20 pm
Uneaixoise
merk, will someone water for you?
4:20 pm
Anniebrook
Thanks Une...I have been watering in the morning so I guess I did it correctly
4:21 pm
Uneaixoise
yep :-)
4:21 pm
mkg
need clue for an 5 12 the first one please?
4:21 pm
JBV
not too late, merk, but you have to find plants in good condition at the garden center - probably in bigger pots, not the flats
4:21 pm
Uneaixoise
I try not to buy many annuals but bought loads of begonias and they're bloomin' their little hearts out! :-)
4:22 pm
Anniebrook
an + ** you like it

4:22 pm
Anniebrook
sorry, wrong clue but perhaps you need that one
4:22 pm
JBV
we have a neighbor who plants about a million begonias each year as a border - red and white, beautiful!
4:22 pm
Uneaixoise
merk, if you have a Home Depot, they have a great selection and they guarantee their plants
4:22 pm
JBV
(not really a million, but it's a big house and they go all around)
4:22 pm
Anniebrook
Thanks, Lynxxxxie and hi
4:23 pm
Uneaixoise
sounds gorgeous, jbv!
4:23 pm
Anniebrook
The begonia border sounds lovely
4:24 pm
JBV
planting is hard work but it's such a pleasure to see colorful flowers all summer
4:24 pm
Uneaixoise
absolutely!
4:26 pm
Merk
I'm back again. No, but our underground sprinklers have fairly good coverage of the whole yard.
4:27 pm
Uneaixoise
oh, you're lucky to have those, merk!
4:28 pm
Merk
Well, I could forget gardening if I didn't. They are a lifesaver ... mine and the flowers. I'm gone for 5-6 weeks every summer when I go to China and with the sprinklers, I come home to blossoming alyssum and salvias.
4:29 pm
Uneaixoise
when do you leave this year?
4:30 pm
Merk
I leave this Saturday to see my grandkids for the weekend and a week from Tuesday I fly out.
4:31 pm
Uneaixoise
oh, wow, right around the corner!
4:32 pm
Merk
Yes, I'm as good as packed, just a few final things to throw into my luggage.
4:32 pm
Uneaixoise
by now I'm sure it's second nature :-)
4:32 pm
Merk
Yes, I've been going since 1991 and twice a year since 2004
4:33 pm
Uneaixoise
do you develop a personal relationship with the students . . . do you keep in touch?
4:34 pm
Merk
Yes, to both questions.
4:34 pm
JBV
wow, merk, that's so interesting - how did you get started with that?
4:34 pm
Merk
I created a Yahoo Group in order to keep up with the emails. I have just short of a 1000 members.
4:34 pm
Uneaixoise
how wonderful! have any visited you in the US?
4:34 pm
Uneaixoise
wow, merk!!!
4:35 pm
Uneaixoise
new pic, dorens?
4:35 pm
Uneaixoise
what an entrance!
4:36 pm
Merk
Yes, some have been accepted by AFS, which we think of as being for foreign exchange students. But it also has a section for foreign exchange teachers. They've been in NY, VA, FL, OK, WA, etc.
4:36 pm

4:37 pm
JBV
hi dorens, we know you're here! :)
4:37 pm
Merk
What is wrong with Doren's computer? That is a horrible case of the hiccoughs.
4:37 pm
Merk
Try shutting down and rebooting, Dorens.
4:37 pm
lynxxx
bet it is the cats
4:37 pm
Jacula
Perhaps she's banging her head repeatedly on the keyboard in frustration??
4:38 pm
jesdraggon
or the cat's sitting on the keyboard?
4:38 pm
Merk
That's a possibility.
4:38 pm
Merk
Her head will be aching by now, if she is.
4:38 pm
Uneaixoise
LOLOLOL!!
4:38 pm
stidgmere
Can anyone get a word in edgewise?
4:39 pm
Merk
This is definitely out of character for our dear Doren.
4:39 pm
dan2bit
hehe stidge
4:39 pm
Uneaixoise
indeed!
4:39 pm
Merk
No, I've tried, but my comments have been buried.
4:39 pm
joshuavorbis
highly irregular.... highly irregular.......
4:39 pm
stidgmere
Dorens, wake up!
4:39 pm
Merk
She might have her nose in the grid and be totally unaware that this is happening.
4:39 pm
joshuavorbis
it seems like it is going faster
4:40 pm
Christine
does anyone know her phone # ... maybe give her a call
4:40 pm
JBV
she is going to hide from us when she finds out what is happening
4:40 pm

4:40 pm
Merk
Dorens, you are going to be totally embarrassed when you wake up and see what you've done.
4:40 pm
stidgmere
Talk about monopolizing the chat!
4:40 pm
phaeton

4:40 pm
Jacula
